Prologue
She was sad, that was what he only knew. She was feeling despair and he can feel it in every particle of his being.
He could see that despite being the most popular diva she was, she feels alone. From her viewpoint, he could understand. The Vocaloid House was full of Vocaloids, and even if the Utauloids, Fanloids and Pitchloids lived on another mansion at the same property, she was still singled out.
Yes, Hatsune Miku, the everybody's girl, was feeling alone. He first deduced that maybe it's in her ego, but after trying to step on her shoes, he realized why.
Her closest friends from Crypton were made with partners. And even though she was always with Luka Megurine, it doesn't cover up the fact that they weren't righteously each others' half.
From outside, Miku was happy but he could feel that deep inside there's a slight fear gnawing in her mind.
What if something happen? Who will I run to? Who will understand me? What if I end up being completely alone? Who will hold my hand and say I'm here? These are the thoughts that continued to ran in her mind when she's got nothing to do.
He wanted to comfort her, really. It was because of her that's why he existed, no matter how small the existence was. And from years of passively watching her, he had grown to love this cheerful girl with witty remarks.
To be able to be with her side will be the biggest dream he has. He wanted to take away her tears. He wanted to comfort her after a tiring concert. He wanted to make songs for her and sing it with her.
He wanted to be with Hatsune Miku forever.
This passion must have been very strong for after singing her a lullaby he knows she never hears an unexpected development came. He was stroking her long hair, her head resting on his lap when she became conscious.
At first, he was sure that she'll go back to sleep but her aqua eyes blinked at him largely and she let out a muffled scream. Miku sat up on her bed and tried to slap herself as if trying to know whether she was still asleep or not.
He was confused with her actions. He looked left and right whether there was an intruder. There was none.
He jumped from his seat when a warm hand stroke his cheek.
What...? How...?
"Wow," Miku breathed. "wow. I thought I was only dreaming but you're real! I...I thought I was only hallucinating but you're real! You're the one cheering me up!" She giggled. "Master will be delighted to have you! Just wait and see!"
He couldn't speak. She can see him? A hopeful grin appeared on his face.
"How rude of me! I'm Hatsune Miku! Nice to meet you! What's your name?" she said in excitement.
Now, that's a question that he didn't know how to respond. Who was he? More importantly, what was he? A line of possible names appeared in his mind. He stared at Miku in silence and saw the person reflected on her eyes.
"I'm-"
"Miku-neechan?"
He whirled around to see a girl-no, a pretty boy with messy blond hair and bright blue eyes dragging a banana-printed pillow. Kagamine Len, Kagamine Rin's male counterpart, who adores Miku like his twin.
"Len-kun! What's the matter? It's past ten! You should go to bed." Miku scolded.
"I was, but Rin kicked me out of the room. We have an arm wrestling and said winners get to own the whole room." The boy grumbled then blushed. "Please stop referring me as a kid. Can I sleep here?
"Anyway, who are you talking to?"
Miku raised an eyebrow at him. "Oh, this guy here-"
"Huh?" Kagamine Len's eyes narrowed. "There was a guy here? Kaito was rummaging the fridge and I'm sure no guy could get in 'cause Luka-neechan locked the Crypton Division's door because Gakupo's being a pervert again. Was there...someone who's sneaking in your room, neechan?"
Miku frowned at Kagamine Len. "Was? Don't be rude, Len! He's standing in front of you, say hi!"
The boy looked around again. He froze when the boy's sharp eyes stopped at him before it slide to another direction, not noticing him. Kagamine Len gave Miku a once over before letting out a sigh. He closed the door and rummaged for a futon before setting it down beside Miku's bed.
He watched as Kagamine Len gently ushered Miku to the bed and hummed, if his guess was right,'Fireworks rain' (1) under his breath. "Look at those eyebags, Miku-nee. You must be really exhausted. Sleep tight, ne? I'll eat all of your nightmares (2)." he joked.
"But I'm not kidding...He's really there!" Miku protested.
"Vocaloids can't see ghosts." The boy continued to hum, the tune going to melodious. "I see no one."
To his disappointment, Kagamine Len was right. He got passed through continuously.
Everything started to blur, the last image he saw was Miku's aqua eyes before everything blacked out.
He was back in darkness again.
