Chapter 1- I Get a Kick Outta You

The Grey Dove bar downtown was well known for attracting a particular type of clientele. Every night a beautiful blue-haired man in tight-clinging clothes would serenade the hoards of men who had come from across the land to watch him perform.

Although he was best friends with the star performer, The Grey Dove bar wasn't really Len's scene. The only reason he went there was because he was easily able to sweet talk the bar's owner, Haku into giving him free drinks.

Haku was usually the only woman in the bar each night so Len was surprised when a beautiful girl with long green pigtails walked in and sat down at a table.

In a bar like this, Len figured he stood a good chance, especially as the other patrons seemed to show her no notice. He walked over to her table.

'Excuse me miss, do you mind if I sit here?' he said.

The girl shrugged.

'Suit yourself' she said.

'So what's your name?'

'Shouldn't you introduce yourself first?' she asked.

'Of course, my dear. I'm Kagamine Len, a hot-shot salesman for Sakine Co. I'm a pretty big deal in the company actually, the owner practically considers me her son! Oh and I'm making a lot of money.'

Miku raised an eyebrow and smiled.

'Oh really?' she said.

'Yup, I'll probably be taking over the company pretty soon. So how about yourself? I mean what brings you here? I'm sure you didn't come for the... entertainment.'

'Why not?' the girl asked, looking towards the stage.

'He seems quite talented.'

'Ha! You're not his type.'

'Well I didn't say I wanted to jump into bed with him!' the girl said.

'Sorry miss!' Len said. 'I didn't meant to imply anything. I just meant that the men around here, well they can't exactly appreciate your immense beauty.'

The girl smiled.

'Hmm well what are you doing here then?'

'I get free drinks. The bar owner can't resist my charms.'

'With as much money as you make I wouldn't think you would need free drinks' the girl teased.

'Well... you see... I mean...'

The girl laughed. It was so bright and musical Len was stunned.

'You're cute' she said.

'I can be even cuter, just give me a chance- and a name.'

The girl smiled.

'My name is Miku. How about you get me a drink.'

Len walked over the the bar to get drinks but when he turned back, two guys in suits were now sitting on either side of Miku.

Len rushed over to save her.

'What's going on here?' he asked.

'Beat it' said one of the men 'this doesn't concern you.'

'Well when you accost innocent women I think I have a right to get involved.'

One of the men then pulled out a gun and pointed it at Len.

Len took a step back and looked around for help but all the other patrons were applauding the star performer as he left the stage.

The men in suits grabbed Miku's arms and began to walk her out of the bar.

'Wait! Don't go, Miku!'

'I have to. Don't worry, they won't hurt me' Miku said.

'But will I ever see you again?'

'Unlikely, tomorrow I board a ship headed for America. Goodbye, Len.'

Miku walked out of the bar, followed by the two men in suits.

Len stood there staring at the wall until he felt someone hug him from behind.

'So how was I?' Kaito asked.

Len looked back at the blue haired singer.

'Sorry, what?'

'My performance. What did you think of it?'

'I wasn't really watching' Len said 'But I imagine it would be the same as all your other performances.'

'Aww you really should have watched. I put something special into it as it's my last performance in Japan. I really wish you had agreed to come with me to America' Kaito said.

'What?! You're going to America?!'

'Idiot! I've feel like I've told you this a million times now! I got a gig aboard a cruise ship headed to America.'

'I've got to get on that ship!' Len said.

'It's too late to buy tickets now!' Kaito said.

'I'll find a way' said Len.
