Me: Soooo...we gonna do this or not?

Luka: I don't know...

Gakupo: Oh c'mon Lukaaaaa-saaan. You got to break out of your shyness sometime.( =D)

Luka:...I had a whole story written about my private life. (. looks at Gakupo) I think that counts as 'breaking out of my shyness'

Me: Yeah. Sorry about that, but we kinda got to start soon. (^_^;)

Gakupo: Yeah, don't want to keep your fans waiting. (smiles seductively) If you do it, my dear Luka-san, I'll have a surprise JUST for you.

Luka: (looks away shyly) ... *blushes*

Gakupo: We can finish what we started from befoooooorre (wiggles an eyebrow)

Me: (nudges Luka in the shoulder) If I were you I'd take him up on his offer. It's kind of a sexy one.

Luka:(nods to me and then to Gakupo) okay...DISCLAIMER: BrokenSentiments DOES NOT OWN VOCALOID OR ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEM, ONLY THIS STORY!

Gakupo: *kisses* See? Was that so hard? (Picks Luka up and begins to walk away) And since you did sooooo well, I'm gonna give you more than what I promised.( ;} 333 )

Luka and Me: Gakupo! BEHAVE!

Me: Uh...um...Enjoy? (=.#) ...I guess.

Luka plopped down lifelessly onto the bed. Her mind was fried and she was exhausted from staying up for the past two weeks studying for her mid-terms. Not to mention the fact that after eight hours of regular school Master had the whole Vocaloid household go to vocal lessons with Professor Yowane for four more hours, four thirty to eight o'clock at night. Her grades and vocal performances have never been better, but she was tired of acting like the perfect little student she had always been known for. School was becoming more complicated with each lecture or book report.

She sighed and curled into a tight ball, knees against her chest. She didn't even bother to get underneath her comforter or kick off her shoes. Luka looked at the clock. 3:42, it read. I still have time before Professor Yowane's lesson. If I could just…rest for a little…And with that unfinished thought, Luka slipped straight past limbo and into sleep mode.

"Great Lords of Leeks, she's in her room!" someone bellowed from out in the hallway. Luka bolted upward and scanned the room. Miku came hastily padding over to her bedside in her socks, her cheeks wet. Had she been crying?

Miku dropped down next to Luka on the bed. "What happened? I didn't see you after school or at voice lessons like normal and your phone just kept going to voicemail!" Luka was still zoned. She wasn't even looking at Miku, maybe through her, but not at her. Miku's words weren't quite registering in Luka's mind correctly either. She yawned and stood up from her bed, her gaze gliding over the alarm clock. It read 8:54…

Eight fifty-four!

She had been missing for almost five hours?! Luka spun around to Miku, her eyes and mouth opened in the shapes of 'O' s. Miku mock smiled.

"Yeaaah, my thoughts exactly." She stood. "Now come on downstairs and show everyone you're okay." Miku padded out back into the hallway. Luka darted for the oval mirror to do a quick 'self-check', brushed out her hair furiously, and sped down to the living room.

As soon as she came down the stairs she saw all the vocaloids, a collective sigh of relief filled the room. The twins were the first to her emerge from the crowd, tears streaming down their faces. They bore their heads into her chest, soaking her shirt.

"Neeeee-sama!" they cried in unison. Luka wrapped her arms around them maternally and pulled them close. You guys…She thought affectionately. You were that worried?

It wasn't a surprise. The Kagamines followed her everywhere. When they were little they never left her side and Luka did baby them immensely. One time at night when there was a huge thunder storm, Len couldn't sleep, so he went into her room. A little while afterward Rin claimed to have had a nightmare and she did the same. The two of them laid there in her bed as she stroked their heads to go to sleep. They were more than just her siblings, they were like her children.

When they blubbering all over her shirt she rubbed their heads; they looked up at her with red rimmed blue eyes. It made her heart ache to think that she could have caused them so much distress. It made her feel selfish.

After the twins settled down Luka realized that everyone else was staring at the trio. Well, everyone except Gakupo who wasn't paying any attention to the spectacle. Luka's mouth down turned slightly. That's strange. Usually he'd plow over anyone near me (usually the Kagamines and occasionally Gumi) to breath the same air as I do. She cocked her head to the side. Is something the matter with him?

"Luka-taaan," Someone sang out from over her shoulders. Gumi swung her arms around her neck and hung on for dear life. Luka instantly pushed all thoughts of Gakupo away and turned her head to see Gumi, her eyes shining with tears and a smile stretched across her face. Akoi Lapis stood silently behind her, eyes pink and tired. I guess everyone put on the waterworks… Luka's eyes glanced over the Krypton household. Kaito was rubbing the backs of Meiko and Miku, who had fell asleep on either side of him. Miki was trying to help Lily, IA, Kiyoteru, and Sweet Ann calm down a whining Yuki. Neru (I'm 110% sure was on her phone) on Tumblr, Facebook, and Twitter IMing about my relieving appearance. SeeU and Leon were in the corner whispering about…something. Piko and Teto were on the couch sleeping and Big Al, as usual, was probably off partying.

Then Luka's eyes fell on Gakupo. His long silky hair was streaming past his face and down his back like a violet waterfall. His eyes swirling pools of lilac, there wasn't any redness in them like everybody else's. No tiredness played at his face. He carried himself as though he were his normal self; humble, capable, and strong. He looked perfectly normal. Had he really not been worried about me? Gakupo's eyes shifted slightly and landed on Luka. Everything in her froze solid.

His eyes were distant and cool instead of heated and vibrant as usual. Something wasn't right. Something felt terribly wrong about him and the way he was looking at her didn't help in the slightest. Luka began feeling her stomach forming in knots and turned her head away abruptly. What was that look in his eyes?

"Nee-sama, Nee-sama," Len tugged sheepishly at her shirt with big blue eyes. He pointed accusingly at Meiko who was sleeping peacefully on Kaito's shoulder. "Meiko onee-san was the one who got us all worked up. Yelling stuff like 'She got kidnapped' and 'She got RAPED'!"

Rin's face fell and she looked as if she would cry again. Luka pulled her close and stroked her hair. She smiled. "Yeah, but we're fine now cause you're okay." Rin said and hugged Luka. Luka hugged her back as tight as she could and grabbed Len as well. Luka look down at the twins. Meiko had always been a stupid drunk, but…Really? Luka sighed and stepped away from them.

"I'm sorry for making you all worry, but I'm fine. Could you please go on about your regular lives?" Luka gave a quick bow in apology. Gakupo instantly stood and walked calmly out of the living room. Luka stared after him in surprise and hurt. I guess he really hadn't been worried about me...I apparently don't even matter enough to get a decent look out of him either.Luka willed the tears in her eyes not to fall and then departed from the crowd and went to find some food in the kitchen. Gakupo really was an idiot.

After drinking some water and calming down Luka headed up the stairs after finally finding a can of fresh tuna to snack on. It was a poor excuse for dinner, but then again Luka always had a poor appetite. When she got to the second floor everyone's doors were mostly closed accept for Gakupo's who's was slightly ajar. The light from the crack slipped out into the hallway, she couldn't help peeking inside.

Gakupo shut the door silently behind him and leaned against it. He didn't want to stay among the others, he wasn't in the mood. He had been so upset about what had happened that night that he couldn't even express his distress and worry over Luka. He ended up giving her the cold shoulder and felt like an ass for doing so. He had looked her in the eye and gave her the coldest stare, it tore his heart to pieces thinking about it. How she had looked back at him with hurt in her eyes. He had done that. And now, He sorrowfully thought to himself. She probably thinks I don't give a rat's ass about her... It was ironic though, because he had been horribly worried.

Gakupo undid his "X" shaped hair clip and let the million long violet strands spill over his shoulders and down his lower back. He sighed and pushed himself from against the door, not noticing it open slightly as he lazily walked over to his desk. He slid his phone from his pocket. 9:12 PM.

Five hours?

Five whole hours had passed since he'd thought something had happened to Luka. I've only been worried sick and out of my mind for five hours? He thought to himself in disbelief. It felt like longer… As had everything ever did when it came to Luka. How is it that she was able to make him feel so weak? In all those times of teasing and messing with her e never really expected to grow an attachment to news got around to him that Luka was "missing" it made him feel so helpless and he had not been much acquainted with that feeling ever, but tonight...It just consumed him. Every single second after that seemed to inch by ever so slowly. Every single moment felt like a step on the stairwell of forever with her. 'A step on the stairwell of forever'…He thought to himself again. Gakupo picked up a pen and began to write the line down. He stared down at the paper as his pencil continued to form more words. He was about to write yet another one of his love songs about Luka. He paused after a few minutes of writing.

(to the tune of "Loveless XXX", sung by Gakupo, KAITO, and Len)

Stairwell of Forever

Here in this state of pain unknown of my feelings, you continue to

Pass on by me, aahhh

Always looking everywhere except for looking right

In front of you…what am I to do?

Constantly overlooking, unaware of this strong feeling inside

Of my chest and I am trying desperately to contain it

And I know soon it will want to break away from its cage

But how am I to show you?

I need to, I have to, and I want to tell you now!

All I ask is to bring you close. Never do I ever want to let you go.

Please, more and more. Never make me part from your side.

All I ask is to touch your lips. Always and forever I will love your kiss

Surely, surely you will know how deep my emotions go?

Ever and ever I'll wait to for you. Staying within this realm of constant hurt

Sitting upon this broken step on the infinite 'stairwell of forever'

Gakupo sang the lyrics silently and had to admit that the song wasn't bad enough to throw among his past failures. It was actually pretty good. It had deep meaning and described how he felt in a nut-shell. It amazed him how much he could sing out his feelings when it was so difficult to simply say them. His mind came to an abrupt halt as his samurai senses felt a presence at the door. Gakupo turned quickly to see who was there and saw a figure back away into the darkness of the hallway. He stood up and strode towards the door, peeking out into the hall just in time to see a bedroom door shut close in the darkness. Luka's door.
