I'm sure there are some Christmas stories already in the Vocaloid category, so why not add another? Read on and see what you think.
Lunar Winter Embrace
December 1: Snow's Beginning
-November 16-
"There, it's finished. This new Vocaloid can sing the lyrics to any video game theme song and, of course, the recent hits from America and the animes with any masculine tone. His hobby had also turned to playing any Christmas musical pieces by the orchestras, namely the Trans-Siberian Orchestra," the creator sighs, "the orchestra pieces performed all through a multi-function music keyboard for his personal use. I know the other Vocaloids are capable of using their voices for the other music, but this Vocaloid is an official video game synthesizer."
"Is there a name for him?"
"I was thinking of Yuki Izayoi."
Others agreed happily. His creator had finished the touches of "Yuki" today, the sixteenth of November, at nighttime. So the last name Izayoi-The sixteenth night of an old lunar month- had fit perfectly, except for the fact that it's no longer the old lunar calendar. the first name, Yuki, had meant "snow." This had worked because the new Vocaloid had worn all snow white clothing. White pants, white long sleeve shirt, and white trench coat. The only other color present is the cyan color of his hair, eyes and certain outlines on his outfit.
"Alrighty then. It's settled. Let's start the conversion process and get him to the other Vocaloids."
Crypton Future Media had worked with some of the greatest scientists and were able to make a data converter, where the info of that object will be 100% reality. One of the Vocaloids had volunteered and he became a full fledged human. Soon the others had wanted the same and then all were human. Certain Vocaloids' time to convert had varied. Thus, Yuki took about seventeen days to be completely human.
-December 1-
Megurine Luka had been called in by Yuki's creator to meet her and speak of the new Vocaloid. Once reaching Yuki, Luka clicks a few buttons and she speaks at the console.
"Are you awake?"
Yuki reveals his cyan eyes to the pink haired woman, resulting in a smile from her, "Hai. I'm awaiting further instruction."
"I'm glad. Come on out, and welcome yourself into the human world."
Yuki starts to move and stretch before opening his capsule-like chamber. His lightly tanned skin had stood out from the clothing he had worn. As expected, he wore all snow white clothes. He straightens out his trench coat before meeting with his creator and Luka. He was soon given the first question from her.
"What's your name? Or have you not been given one."
"I was labelled…Yuki…Izayoi…" He answers softly. Luka didn't understand.
"'Snow?' And the 'sixteenth lunar night?' What works with that?"
"My clothes are that of the white color of snow. I was born on the sixteenth of November at eight P.M. I hope that answers any questions."
Luka smiles. Yuki's so gentle, she thought, "Now I understand your name, arigato. My name is Megurine Luka. Nice to meet you."
"Onee-san?" Yuki had presumed. In his memory, he was given names and their status to him, Luka being one of his older sisters.
"Hai, that's right. I guess I would be your older sister."
"I'm glad to have met you first," He shows a small smile. He had displayed himself as more reserved than sociable. Luka had seen his cyan color was close to the teal color of another. She turns to Yuki's creator.
"Arigato gozaimasu. May I take him?"
"Of course," she smiles, "He's still technically a newborn, so tend to him carefully."
Luka nods and turns to Yuki, holding out a hand, "Come on, Yuki. Let's go to your new home. I know you'll like it there."
"Hai, Onee-san," Yuki had followed Luka out the door. There were times where he had wandered off here and there, only to be led by Luka again in the right direction. He was curious as it is, making it very difficult to keep track of him. Besides the stop for lunch, it had took them until the early evening to get Yuki home. Twins had greeted by trying to topple Luka over, even though they fail every time.
"Careful, you two. We have our newest brother over here," Luka saw Yuki was startled. Both twins sigh in unison.
"Oh yeah! We were told about you!" The female twin was excited. She never wanted to wait to meet him, "Kagamine Rin! Nice to meet you!"
"I'm her twin, Kagamine Len, it's a pleasure," The male twin proceeds to shake Yuki's hand, "I was told you were born on November 16, is that right?"
"Hai, November the 16th at eight P.M.," Yuki then had his eyes closed, somewhere in deep thought. His knowledge had indicated they were younger than him, despite them being created before him, "The pleasure is mine, Nii-san, Nee-san."
"Now, what's your name?" Rin had closed in on Yuki, eye to eye. She was so close to his face that he backed up with a flushed face.
"Yuki…Izayoi…"
"That sounds beautiful," Rin replied in delight. Yuki looks away, as she gave him the thought of her as kawaii. Len had left for a brief moment and came back with two young men and another young woman who looked the same age as Luka. They were introduced as Kaito, in blue, Gakupo Kamui, in purple, and Meiko, in red.
"Kaito-nii, Kamu-nii, Meiko-nee…"
Kaito rubs Yuki's head, "Right. As one of our welcome gifts, have some ice cream."
Yuki receives a Drumstick branded chocolate cone, but he didn't understand, "Arigato gozaimasu, but ice cream…on a cold day like this?" This had made Kaito slowly shake his head. He knew ice cream on a cold day didn't make that much sense, but figured Yuki was different than that. Afraid not. Kamui sighs and switches Yuki's ice cream with a mug of hot cocoa.
"Too bad Miku isn't here right now. She would've been overjoyed."
"Mi…ku?"
Luka nods, "She was created before all of us. Now that we got a good look at you, she might get along with you pretty well."
"Demo, where is…Miku?" Yuki had felt Luka has known Miku the longest.
"She's wandering around in search of you. We tried to tell her to stay and wait, but just couldn't handle her own excitement. Not only that, she doesn't know what you look like. My best bet is to go to the shop a couple blocks down at the little park area. Your creator has left some money in a wallet, right?"
"Hai… Naze?" Well, would you look at that. A cyan colored wallet.
"Here's some extra money. You can't just wear those same clothes all the time, except for the trench coat. Lastly, here's a cell phone. That's so you can keep contact with us. All our numbers are in there, so you need not worry about inputting them yourself." Luka smiles and moves from the door. Yuki nods and starts, but stops immediately.
"What if I run into this Miku?"
"Oh yeah. It would help if I gave a description, wouldn't it. Miku has teal hair, in long twintails, and eyes are also teal. She should be wearing a blue long sleeve shirt, and a short sleeve trench coat that's not as white as yours. I don't remember if she had a scarf on or not."
"Arigato gozaimasu. I…guess I'll see you later."
Yuki had went to the superstore Luka mentioned and bought some clothes. They were all in either white as snow or cyan, not surprising. His view of the night sky was beautiful even while the street lights had blocked out some of the stars' lights and constellations. The teal color Luka had mentioned has caught his attention with irresistible force. The color had came from the girl's long hair in twintails. Her short sleeved jacket covering most of her blue shirt but the long sleeves. The last to complete her outfit was her scarf. According to Luka, and what Yuki had seen, they had matched each other. There was one last way to find out.
"Um…excuse me…" Yuki had approached the girl slowly while speaking. She turns hands clasped and over her heart. Her eyes met his and she smiles.
"Good evening. How are you?"
"I'm fine… Are you…waiting for someone?"
The girl's answer was an optimistic one, "Hai. I was told there was a new Vocaloid among us. He was born in November, but his conversion process took time until today. I kinda went off on my own without knowledge of what he looks like or his name. I was trying to search for him, finding little leads. Though I did hear he's a bit reserved like you. I know he's out there somewhere."
She's so cheerful, Yuki thought. He blushes a bit, "I…think I'm the one you're searching for…"
The girl had checked her phone due to a message tone. She brightened up quickly, "Wow, right in front of me! How silly I must feel. Well, I'm glad you're here! I'm Hatsune Miku, what's your name?"
"Yuki…Izayoi… I personally say it as the '16th night of snow,'" Yuki sighs in relief. He had found Miku. In his eyes, not even Luka could match her beauty, "So you're Miku-nee…"
"Oh, you don't have to do the 'nee-san' thing for me." Miku giggles.
"Are you sure? Don't the others use it?"
"Yeah, but you're special," She had held out a hand to him, smiling. It was obvious that she wanted Yuki to take it, "There's something about you that I see, but can't put my finger on."
Yuki nods in response and takes Miku's hand. He was lead to a nearby restaurant of her choosing as a little celebration for his arrival. The warmth in Yuki's heart had grown as he spent the night with her. Thus, the countdown to the twenty-fifth day had begun.
This is the end of chapter 1. I have written other chapters before the month began so I can update quickly. The other chapters will be added based on the day of that chapter. Lastly, the story will have New Years as its ending section, slight spoiler warning. Anyway, Review and tell me how I did.
