Author's Note: This is my first fan-fic published so please remember this. Italics symbolize flashbacks, two quotes like this " ", represent what people are saying, and single quotes like this ' ', represent a person's thoughts. Please enjoy my meager little fic inspired by my love of Gakupo.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this fanfiction except for my OC Bluefire. If I did own anything else then anime and manga would be very different.


It was a bright sunny day in the distant land of Vocaville and Gakupo was working in his garden. His long lavender hair draped over his delicate shoulders while he weeded his garden with surgical glanced over at his enchanting strawberry plants and gently whispered to them, "My lovely little beauties, soon you shall be even more stunning." He gently checked every green berry on the plant and watered the plant with his eggplant shaped watering can. He proceeded to water the rest of his extensive garden as a cool breeze gently blew over the rolling landscape. 'Well, at least their's some relief from the heat,' Gakupo thought as he finished caring for his garden. Gakupo couldn't explain it, but over the last month or so he had started taking an interest in gardening. He even went as far as offering to care for Miku and Rin's garden for them, though neither could complain. Afterall, free labor is free labor no matter who it comes from.

Gakupo stood and dusted some of the dirt that caked his dark blue shorts. 'oh well, I did plan on showering today any way,' Gakupo thought as he merrily skipped into the large house shared by himself, Meiko, Kaito, Luka, Miku, Rin, Len, and their non-Vocaloid siblings Ainosuke and Bluefire. Gakupo felt guilty for imposing on Bluefire like this, for it was her home to begin with, but she didn't mind. Gakupo remembered when she had offered for them to stay with her as though it happened yesterday.


It was a very warm day about one year ago, back then Miku and Bluefire were sixteen years old and both excited to find their long lost twin sister. "Where do you all plan on staying from now on, after all Crypton and the Internet Company no longer controls you guys," Bluefire said as she led the group of Vocaloids down the sidewalk. "No clue, we figured that the day we left our respective companies would be much farther down the road," Meiko said as she glanced over at the rest of their group. Rin and Len were looking excited for it was their first time out of the Crypton Corp building that didn't envolve music, Miku was looking happy walking next to her older twin sister, Kaito was franticly scanning the area to find an ice cream parlor, Luka was looking angry about nothing ( Altough that wasn't new), and Gakupo was looking a little nervous and excited at the same time. Gakupo had never been allowed outside the Internet Company's building, or even his room for that matter. Meiko wasn't entirely sure upon all the details of how Gakupo managed to survive with a master as cruel as his, but she was glad Gakupo wasn't hurt as seriously as she thought from how her master described the treatment the samurai recieved. "Why don't you all stay with me, after all, it's only me that's living there now," Bluefire said as she led the gang to a large blue house. "You mean we get to stay with you Bluefire-nee!" Rin and Lend exclaimed excitedly at the same time. Bluefire nodded and laughed at how adorable her younger siblings were.


Gakupo smiled at the thought of Bluefire and how patient she was with him, Gakupo didn't really know anything about the world outside of the Internet Company and desired to know more about this wonderful world he lived in. He entered the light blue house, removed his black boots, and walked over to the boy's bathroom. In order for the fighting between the boys and girls in the house to stop, two bathrooms were built so the fragile peace in their house would remain intact for even a few moments.

After a fifteen minute shower, Gakupo felt comfortable in his white tee-shirt and dark purple shorts as he walked over to the long, seafoam colored couch and plopped down in the middle of it. He laid down on his stomach as he channel surfed on their large T.V. He could easily now, for he was the only one home right now. Gakupo didn't mind being home by himself, although he preferred being with someone, for he was plagued with horriffic nightmares of his master abusing him terribly. It happened every night and each night he woke up in Bluefire's arms, crying heavily, and wishing that the horrors he experienced would simply vanish, but he knew that everytime he looked at one of the scars on his body from the hits he recieved it simply would haunt him for the rest of his days.

Gakupo sighed when his channel surfing proved fruitless, so he decided to pop in Season One of Hetalia Axis Powers into their DVD player and forget the thoughts of his master for at least a little while.
