Hello! This story throws our favorite Vocaloids into a video-game like world;
(MikuxKaito, RinxLen, LukaxGakupo, IAxGumiya)
Welcome to Aria.
Aria is a world, beautiful, filled with mysteries.
Think of your favorite RPG. A fantasy world.
That's what Aria is. But even better.
In a place like this, there are several great stories to be told. Romance, war, success, fame— there is a story for each one. But let's take a look at the Vocaloids, shall we? They go across through all of that. They live in a small town, all like family. They're personalities differ so much, from hunters, fighters, to mages and healers.
But they're all a close family. Their lives have always been peaceful, there would be no reason for that to change.
...right?
ARIA Chapter 1:
Sun burnt colored skies almost blinded Miku. The taunting sun, barely peaking out from the horizon seemed to whisper, "Time is almost up! Hurry home before they get you…"
"C'mon… one last mewk bunny to kill and I'll have enough fur to make a coat…" she said, quietly to herself. She was focusing very hard, bow and arrow pulled back, about to release, waiting to pierce one of the mewk bunnies below her. These mewk bunnies were level 9, two levels above Miku, but she'd definitely have a chance at killing one if she was elevated— like she is now.
She waited, glancing back and forth between the frolicking mewk bunnies and the sun slowly fading. Then... a couple of them jump into view at a perfect angle.
"Perfect!" She slowly draws back the arrow a little more, steadying her shot.
"Almost…almost…" she chants to herself. She slowly starts loosening her grip on the arrow tail, and with a perfect release she—
"HYAH!"
The yell connects to a dark blue haired boy, about the same age as Miku, tall with perfect posture. With an utmost effortless swipe of his sword, he kills all three mewk bunnies at once.
"What!? How did he—" the shock from Miku startles her body, and sends her slipping off the tree branch she laid on seconds before. "KYAAAA!"
a shrill cut through the dusk sky.
I'm going to die… Miku's thoughts are blurred together. I'm really going to die!
Before she prepares her body to hit the hard ground beneath her, she feels something warm abruptly meet her sides.
"…!?" She opens her eyes, that were clenched from fear, to reveal the boy who killed the mewk bunnies several moments before.
Before Miku could ask how, who, and… why, the blue haired boy spoke.
"Nnngh… geez, are you okay?" He winced in pain.
Miku caught a glance of a claw mark in his shirt, and specks of red contrasting his blue suit on top. "You're…you're hurt! I'm so sorry! I didn't know…" she quickly got up from his grasp and stood on her feet.
She looked at him more carefully, with a concerned expression.
"Are you okay!? When did that…that scratch happen? We need to get you a healer right away…" she observed the bleeding mark on his shoulder. It was much to big to be a mewk bunny, and judging by his appearance, it was probably a very high level monster. Which meant… he was some type of fighter.
Miku has always grown up being told never to approach a fighter but… her something in her gut told her he was different. Either way, he knew Luka had a kind enough heart to heal anyone, and this man obviously needed help.
"NNggh, is there a healer around? P-please, take me to them…"
Miku looked at him, and pitied him, but she hesitated still. The stories of ninjas or knights taking down young teenage hunters like herself scared her…
"If you need help deciding, I'll let you know right now that saving your life made my injury about twice as more painful." He said in a flat tone.
"F-Fine! I'll take you…but only because you saved me. We have to sneak in though, alright?" she said, taking him so that he could lean his left side on her.
"I'm Hatsune Miku by the way, a hunter of Ameko town! I'll just say you're a merchant, 'kay? We look about the same age anyway so I can convince them~" Her tone always had a habit of sliding into a cheerful one too easily, even with strangers.
The blue haired boy nodded. "Thank-you…" he grumbled, in a somewhat dense voice.
"By the way…" He started.
"Yes?" Miku said, trying to be as careful as she could helping him walk.
"Call me Kaito."
