The birds chirped softly, as the trees dances within the breeze. The morning was cool, and with the birds, the morning ended up being musical. Miku took in the beautiful sound, and sweet touch of the wind. The nine year old girl, couldn't help but smile. Her eyes were tucked away behind her eyelids. She took in a deep breath, and could smell the beautiful soft scent of the roses that were near her, she was jolted from her daydream,

"Oi! Kid, I don't got all day!" The bus driver screamed out of the opened door, he saw the teal haired girl stand there, "Well, are you coming?" He asked, as he watched the girl slowly grab the steel bar, and entered the bus, "Shit, I gotta get a new job." The male thought, he began to shut the doors, then heard a girl screaming, "Ugh, whatever." He whispered to himself, then shut the doors and drove off,

"WAIT!" The pink haired little girl screamed, "Great...First day, at a new school. And I miss the bus. Not a good way to start off..." Luka whispered to herself, she began to run towards the bus, as the bus now stopped for another group of kids. Luka was breathing hard, as she managed to get the bus driver to keep the door open, "Go..Gomen..." Luka whispered in a hard breath,

"Yeah, yeah." The male stated, "Get on, would ya. I got to take these brats to school." He snarled, he watched the pink haired girl get on the bus, and with a roll of his eyes, they were off to school, "First day...I got...To get a better job." He thought to himself, about ten minutes after picking up the pink haired girl, he stopped in front of the elementary building, "Well, off ya go." He stated, then watched the kids get off the bus, he rolled his eyes again, then drove off to drop off the rest of the hellions.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Miku giggled as she talked to the twins known as; Len and Rin, "I'm so excited to be here! I love school!" Miku giggled, as she watched Len rolled his eyes, "Wh..What is it?" Miku asked,

"Miku, no kid should be excited for school. I hate getting up...So early. I'm nine. NINE! I rather be at home, and playing video games." Len pouted,

"Oh, come on, Len. School can be fun." Rin smiled brightly,

"Nine years old...And you two act older." Len rolled his eyes, "I hate school." Len grumbled, he stopped when he saw a girl he had never seen before, "Who is that?" Len asked. Len, Rin, Meiko, and Miku have known each other for years. And have been going to the same schools for years. And they have never seen the girl with the pink hair. Nor have they ever met a boy with pink hair. Who were these mysterious people? Megurine Luki and Megurine Luka. Len walked with Miku to their class together. And who did they see? The pink haired duo,

"Class, this year we will have new students." The teacher smiled, "This is Luki Megurine. And his sister, Luka Megurine. Please welcome them with kindness." She now directed them where to sit. Luka sat next to Miku, and Luki sat down next a red haired girl. Luki sighed softly, as he looked around the classroom. He really didn't speak even when asked a question. Luka remained silent as well. They felt like they didn't belong there. And in a way, they didn't. Everyone that went to the school, was rich. Luki and Luka? Not so much. They came from a poorish family. And when they looked at the clothes everyone else was wearing, and looked at what they were wearing...Well, they felt even more out of place.

Luka was now handing her brother a note, that read;

"I want to go home. Where we belong! I feel...Feel lost and out of place..."

Luki looked at Luka, and nodded to show that he agreed what was written on the note. Luki took in a deep breath, as he watched the math equations be written on the board, one thing that him and Luka were good at was school work, in fact, they should be in two grades higher, but were stuck in third grade. Luki wanted like, his sister, to go home. Once the bell rang, Luki got up with Luka, "That was brutal..." Luki mustered,

"I hate it here, Luki. I hate it." Luka mustered, as her eyes lowered, "Why this part of town? Why these people?" Luka asked her brother,

"Honestly...I do not know." Luki murmured, then sighed as him and his sister walked to their next class together. They just wanted out, and who wouldn't? When everyone and everything around them seemed...Fake.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Lunch wasn't much better for the pink haired duo, in fact, there was a bully there. And when Luki was walking with his tray of food, the boy flipped the tray into his face. Luki heard everyone laughing at him, he watched his sister help clean up the mess that was made. Luki had tears fill the rim of his eyes, "I want to go home..." Luki murmured, they had moved to the horrible town, because their parents needed to 'escape' and to Luki and Luka that only meant to escape their problems, and give them worse tragedies. Luki walked with Luka to an empty table, where Luki literally witnessed a girl pour chocolate milk over Luka's head, "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!?" Luki asked now screaming at the girl, "GOD! I hate it here! Come on, Luka!" Luki stated in angered tone, and walked away with his sister. He walked her to a drinking fountain, and had gotten a paper towel, and began to wipe away the milk from her face, "Don't worry, sis. We are better than them." Luki stated, then saw a girl with teal hair, "What?" Luki asked glaring at the girl,

"I wanted to apologize for their behavior. It wasn..." Miku was cut off,

"Yeah, you're right, it wasn't right of them. But I didn't see you stand up to defend us." Luka snarled, then walked away, "Luki, I'll be back. I'm going to wash this out." Luka sighed and went into the bathroom. She immediately dropped her books, her hands gripped the edge of the sink, as she now began to cry rather hard. The sounds of her sobs were masked by the running water, "I..." Luka couldn't even finish her thought as she saw the girl who spilt milk all over her head,

"Oh, look is chocolate milk girl. I guess, you can say you are like strawberry dipped in chocolate." She chuckled, then walked out of the bathroom to leave the pink haired girl to cry. She didn't care, about the new girl. She saw Luka as a threat of her popularity status. So, she humiliated the new girl.

Luka stood there, and looked into the mirror. Luka now rinsed away the shame that was brought to her, and walked out of the bathroom. She now saw Luki and the girl with teal hair arguing,

"You think its fair?! We don't deserve this! We are nine! NINE! I rather be back where we came from. At least our friends were there for us. And heck, if you went to our old school, and was teased like that. The biggest kid would stand up, and swear to punch the other kid in the face, for just looking at you wrong. Here...Its like a war zone, you are either with someone or against them. And it seems, that you are against us. Because if someone did that to you, I would have stood, like I did with my sister, and demanded an explanation. But you! YOU! Keep saying that you are sorry for their actions. You are worse than them. Sticks and stones may break my bones. But words...They will always scar me. Come on, Luka." Luki ended the conversation when he saw his sister, "I want to go home." Luki stated, then walked away with Luka and actually left the school. He now felt his younger sister, only by about three minutes cry into him, "Luka-chan...A..Are you okay?" Luki asked,

"N..No..." Luka whispered, as she felt her body quiver as she continued to cry ever so hard. Luka saw the principle come out,

"Excuse me. Where do you think you are going?" She asked,

"We are leaving." Luki stated, for only nine years old, he was sure assertive. He walked hand in hand with his fraternal twin, Luka. And didn't look back. He didn't want to. For starters, he had his food all over his clothing. And his sister's hair was sticky from the chocolate milk. Luki looked out for Luka, as Luka looked out for Luki. At least they had each other, that is what mattered the most.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Once back at the apartment, Luki opened the door, and walked inside with Luka, "Mom...Dad?" Luki called out,

"They aren't home. Remember? They have the graveyard shift." Luka murmured, Luka and Luki knew how to live on their own. Because their parents were never really around. They were working two jobs to keep the family afloat. The kids at the school that they were attending, were handed everything on a platter. Luka sighed, as she looked out the window, "Luki-san." Luka whispered, then pointed towards the black stretch limo, "Wh..Who is that?" Luka asked, as a man with black hair appeared from the driver's seat, then when he opened the back door, Luka and Luki saw the girl with teal hair exit the vehicle with a male, in which the twins assumed was her father, "Wh...Ho...How did she find us?!" Luka asked, as she flipped off the lights, and they both hid in the bedroom, soon they heard loud DING DONG. Luka and Luki remained silent,

"Hello..." Miku called into the door, "Is anyone home?" She asked, she was worried for the twins. But she lowered her head, "Sorry da..." She was cut off as the door slowly opened, and Luki appeared,

"May I help you?" Luki asked,

"Yes, we were hoping to talk to your parents." The male stated, "Miku, my daughter, told me what had happened at school. And I wanted to talk to them, personally. And apologize for the rude behavior at your school." He smiled, but the words came from the boy, surprised him,

"Our parents aren't home. And they won't be home until tomorrow morning. I'll let you them know that you stopped by." Luki stated, then immediately shut the door in their face. Surprisingly Miku's father didn't find the action rude at all. He was rather worried about the pink haired twins. Luki looked towards Luka, "What do you want for dinner?" He asked, with a soft smile,

"Anything with tuna." Luka smiled softly, Luki agreed on the tuna. But they were hoping for things to get better for them. Because they both felt like they were in Hell. And at the age of nine, that just made things worse. Luki and Luka began to cook something with their fresh tuna. They laughed and talked during the process. They had each other, they had each other's backs. And they knew that is all they needed. For now...At least.
