A/N: I should be working on Control Freaks. I really should. But I was sitting around one day, and this popped up.

You all know the new Vocaloids announced after the 'Everyone's Vocaloid' Contest? Well, the male counterpart, Lui, STILL doesn't have a voice provider. This riled me up. So then I was like, 'BING! NEW STORY TIEM!'

But enough of my personal junk.

SONG OF TEH UPLOAD: Nightmare-Gumi V3; CUL cover

DISCLAIMER: As much as I really, really want to own Vocaloid, I don't. Closest thing I'll EVER get is my Namine Ritsu button.

WARNING: This chapter contains mentions of bullying. Sure, YOU may not see it as a big thing, but I do.

A Voice for Lui

Lui Hibiki.

Just another Vocaloid3.

Or so it seemed.

You would never know of his problem if you saw him on the street. All you would see is a normal young boy who may look a little cutesy for his age, laughing with his female counterpart, Ring Suzune.

If you knew him on the inside though, you'd take all those thoughts back and just feel sorry for him.

For Lui Hibiki is a Vocaloid without a voice.

...

Ring understood his pain, for she had also been without a voice for a time. However, that problem was fixed in a snap and she was singing demos in a flash. Now, Lui was the only conceptualized Vocaloid without a proper voice. And it was driving him nuts.

VY1 and VY2 also mildly understood. They were Vocaloids without official designs. But Lui had found out that that was on purpose and besides, they were loved enough to be given designs by fans. Still, they did their very best to try and make him feel better.

But most of the other Vocaloids were tormenting him. He did his best to try and communicate, but all he got was cruel laughter from the others.

"Ya call yourself a Vocaloid? You don't have a voice! That's the Vocaloid's sole purpose!" the diva of the group, Miku Hatsune pointed out one day. "You would have never been loved anyway! Because everyone loves me!" She flipped her extremely long teal hair, turned on her heel, and sauntered away, the rest of the Crypton Vocaloids following her. Luka Megurine turned around again and gave Lui a pitying look.

"Hey. It's gonna be all right, okay? Don't mind Miku. She does this to everyone. It drives us crazy." Lui shook his head and let his gaze drop, a few stray tears falling loose. Luka put her arm over his shoulder, giving him a comforting hug.

"Look. I can't know what you're going through, but I know it must be awful. Don't worry, Yamaha will find you a voice soon. You won't have to be mute anymore, and you can stand up to everyone. Tell them they're wrong. I promise you; it'll happen soon. These things just take time." the pink-haired woman gave him a gentle smile and pat his head. Lui looked up with tear-stained eyes and nodded. He didn't want to cry anymore though, so all he had to do was wait.

And hope Yamaha would find his perfect voice soon.

A/N: Sad, isn't it? This story doesn't focus on Miku's bullying, but I just thought it would maybe help develop the story a bit more?

SPOILER: Later, when Lui finds his voice, he's gonna stand up to Miku. Give her a piece of his mind. Ooh, now won't that be exciting?

Please review! I know it's not my usual humorous writing, but please bear with me. Control Freaks WILL update soon.
