Take 2: When the World Stopped Turning

11 years later

It was a sunny morning. The sky was filled with fluffy white clouds, children playing in the streets, and a certain pink haired girl, along with her companion, walked inside a small cafe. Luka found an empty table and sat down along with her friend Rin. A minute later, a waitress came to take their orders and served them tea to drink while waiting.

"So," the fully grown pink hair took her tea and slowly took a sip. "Why did you call to meet me here?"

Rin, who has short blonde hair and an orange lover, took a sip of her tea as well and smiled in a way that can make your spine shiver with fear.

That smile she wore wasn't a good sign... for Luka. She knew Rin knew as well.

Flashback

Ring ring ring

"Augh... what now?" Luka woke up. The digital clock next to her bed read '4:00AM'. She groaned reached for her phone. Luka had no idea why anyone was calling her at this time. 4 in the morning? Did this person have no life? Flipping her phone open, she clicked on the 'answer' button.

"This better be good." she muttered quietly.

"Luka!" sang a sing-song voice on the other side.

"Rin?" Luka got up from her bed and sat straight. "How's it going?"

"Busy as always~ Oh! Hey, let's meet at that cafe we always went when we were little."

"What?"

"Today at 9 in the morning!"

"Huh?" Luka was confused.

"Meet me there! See ya!"

"Hey! Answer-" but the line made a 'click' sound and she was disconnected.

Silence spread around her room.

"Why meeeee?" Luka groaned and rolled around on her bed. She instantly fell back asleep.

End of flashback

"Your smile is scaring me..." Luka said.

"Luka," Rin cut in and spoke as if what she was about to say was something life threatening. "let's go shopping."

The pink hair coughed. Shopping? Rin Kagamine shopping? "Would you mind telling me whats happening?"

"I heard there's lots of new clothes and at a good price!"

"Rin-"

"AND, there's a new ice cream store that everyone talks about. I want to try it out."

"Rin, you know I don't like shopping this early. In fact, you don't like shopping at all. You HATE shopping so there should be a reason why I'm here and you wanting to go shopping. And you don't like ice cream, ever since that brain-freeze you got when you were little."

Rin gave her friend a deadly glare that made Luka freeze. Seriously, that little girl can shoot a heated glare that could melt ice.

"You're too smart." she sighed. "Meiko called me last night and told me that she's back in Japan. So she's gonna be hosting a welcome back party. But problem is, it's a formal party so I gotta get a new dress. You know I don't wear those fancy dresses."

Luka gave her an 'are-you-serious' look. "What am I? You're servant?"

"You know, normally, friends help each other out on days like this."

"Well, I guess I'm not exactly that kind of 'friend'." the pink hair snorted. "Why don't you call Miku instead?"

"I did. But she's busy performing live. Ever since she became a singer, she's always busy."

"Maybe a fairy can carry her here."

Rin took a napkin and started to fold it into a crane. "Luka, I think we had this conversation about, oh... I dunno, over AHUNDRED TIMES?" her voice started getting louder bit by bit. Around then, people turned to stare at the two girls.

"There is! Fairies are real!" Luka said this in a loud voice, equally matching with Rin's tone. Everyone in the cafe heard it clear as glass and started laughing.

"She believes in fairies?" one said while snickering.

"What a weirdo." another said.

"A beautiful girl who believes in fairies... what a waste."

Rin turned to give them all a deadly glare. Everyone immediately shut up and started acting like nothing happened.

"Rin, I'm not lying! They might be real!"

"Okay okay fine. Now can we continue our previous discussion?"

"Rin!"

"No more fairy talk! We both know we end up fighting when we get into that topic. This is no time to be fighting when I need your help."

"Fine. But hey, why didn't you call Gumi? She loves shopping."

"Gumi does love shopping. But I don't want to spend hours stopping her from munching on carrots."

Luka sighed in defeat.

"Oh, look at the time. Let's go."

"But the food-"

"Forget it. It's shopping time!"

"..."

The blonde hair smiled. "Let's go."

Luka groaned in defeat.

oOo

"So... remind me why I'm here?"

No reply.

"Rinny?" Luka turned to look for her friend but failed. Rin's idea of a dress turned out to be one of those very stylish/sporty clothes that everyone liked. The mall was crowded with people and it was hard to move around. People were grabbing onto the poor skirts and shoes to try it on or were arguing about who got it first. It was like war, but without the guns and armor. Instead, it's replaced with shopping carts and slapping hands. No one bothered to stop and say 'sorry' when they accidentally stepped on someone else. Luka hated this. It was noisy, childish, and it was hard to breath.

"Rin, you owe me big time." she huffed.

"Luka!" A muffled voice called her. "Over here!"

"Rin?"

Turned around, she saw a girl with black and white striped dress down to her knees. She had a white ribbon on her hair but it was pushed to the side more so it looked more stylish. She wore short black gloves on her hands and long white boots with black and white shoelaces. (A/N: This is supposed to be Rin's "Meltdown" dress.) I have to admit, It. Was. So. Adorable.

"How's this?" she smiled, knowing perfectly well that it looked good on her.

"Look's great. You going to buy it?"

"Hell yeah! Let's go! I almost had to choke someone to get this." Rin clentched her fists. "But too bad she ran away." she shook her head in disappointment.

"Oh, that's bad." was all Luka replied. Since Luka knew Rin since childhood, she was now used to her friends violent ways of solving problems.

"Luka, aren't you going to get a dress?" the blonde asked.

"I have one. At home."

"Okay." she shrugged.

Awkwarrrdddd...

So the two paid for the dress and went on separate ways.

oOo

Luka POV

"Welcome everyone! Did you all miss me? Cause I'm BACK! MEIKO SAKINE IS BACK!"

The oh-so-famous party Meiko hosted, turned out to be held at a karaoke shop. How is this supposed to be formal?

Along with Meiko, there was a long purple haired guy standing next to her. All of our friends were shocked as much as I was. Meiko Sakine? With a guy? Seriously? What has the world gone into? She explained that she met him while she was in France, modeling for a famous perfume brand. His name is Kamui Gakupo. I have to admit, he looks kinda cute. But if he cut that long hair of his, I bet he would look even cuter. Speaking of Gakupo, did I just catch a glimpse of him winking at me? Creepy... it must be my imagination. Yeah, that's right. My i-m-a-g-i-n-a-t-i-o-n.

"Guys, lets SING!" Meiko shouted.

Following her, there were lots of 'Whoo hoo!''s and 'Partyyy!''s

"I want to sing with Len!" Miku cried out. Even though she's busy with her schedule, of course she had to make time for her friend.

"Okay Miku." the blonde boy smiled. Oh, have I mentioned Rin and Len are twins? Ah, but you guys already know that, so let's skip that part. The first time I met Len, I thought he was Rin so I hugged him really tight. After I let go, I saw him turning red. Like a tomato... no kidding. After I found out about Rin and Len, I was more embarrassed than he was.

"No! Len I wanna sing with you too!" his twin sister shouted.

Len sighed. "Ok Rin, let's get this over with." This caused his twin to hit him on the shoulder.

"Where did all that excitement go?" she glowered.

"Oh, nothing. Let's go!"

The three went on stage and sang "Yume no Tsuzuki".

After that, Rin and Len sang, "Trick or Treat", "Noisy Whammy", "I WANNA MEET YOU", "Meltdown", "B.O.M.", "Suicide Girl, Silent Boy", "Hanged Man and Dreaming Girl", and all those other songs they had in mind. Geez, for 14 year old teens, they have a lot of energy.

"Luka! You wanna sing a song together?" asked a slurred voice.

Oh god, why me?

Smiling nervously, I replied, "No thanks Meiko. I'm not really in the mood."

"Oh come onnnnn! I came back alllll thee way bick to Japan to meet yoo and this ish what I get?"

"Maybe later." I tried to make my best 'I'm sorry' smile as best as I could but I knew I was failing. Hey, is there really such thing as a 'I'm sorry' smile?

"Meiko, maybe she needs to go outside for some air." a cool voice said.

A hero! "Oh! Yeah, that's what I need!" I laughed. "Fresh air!"

"..." Meiko gave us a look. The same look Rin gave me earlier. Even drunk, that woman can give off a scary look. Suddenly, her expression turned bright. "Oh! I seeeee~ Have fun you two! Tee hee!"

"Huh?" I asked. What does she mean by that?

"Luka, let's go." Gakupo said as he opened the door to go out.

"Okay..." I quickly left the room when Miku started singing "SPiCa".

We both walked down the hallway and stopped by a drink bar.

"Coffee?" he asked.

I shook my head. "No thanks. Just water please."

"Sure thing." he chuckled.

He got us both water and we went outside looking at the stars in silence. Seriously, how awkward can today get?

After about, oh, I dunno, an hour, he broke the silence. "Have you dated anyone before?"

"Huh?" I asked surprised.

He stuttered. "I said, have you-"

"Oh! Yeah I did. But it didn't last long." God, I sounded like a freak...

"Why?" he raised his eyebrows. "I'm sure a pretty girl like you would get tons of guys waiting for you."

I laughed. "Well-"

"Heyyyy guyyyys~ Whatcha doin?" Rin came in, smirking. She's up to something. This isn't good...

"Hey Rin, or are you Len?" Gakupo asked nervously.

Rin frowned. "It's Rin."

"Oh haha sorry." Gakupo let out a nervous laugh.

"Rin, what are you doing here?" I asked, breaking the heavy atmosphere.

Quick as a mouse, Rin grabbed my hand and grabbed his arm to lead us back into the karaoke room.

"R-rin?" I stuttered. This was getting fishy. And I didn't like it one bit.

Inside the room, Gumi just finished singing, "Mont Blanc Coward" and was bowing as everyone clapped in applause. Rin pushed us up to the stage and yelled. "Sing!"

As soon as I know it, the music started playing "Magnet". Gakupo handed me the mic and put on a small smile. I couldn't help but smile back nervously.

Kahosoi hi ga kokoro no haji ni tomoru

itsu no manika moe hirogaru netsujou

watashi no chou fukisoku ni tobi mawari

anata no te ni rinpun wo tsuketa

Gakupo twirled me and smiled. It looks like he's having fun.

Karami au yubi hodoite kuchibiru kara shita he to

yurusarenai koto naraba naosara moe agaru no

Time passed and the song ended. I walked off the stage blushing slightly and Gakupo was right behind me, smiling like he had done something proud. The rest of the time was spent by Meiko and Rin forcing Len to cross-dressing (don't ask me how it got here!) into a pretty nurse outfit, a maid, a cow, pikachu, and even a girl version of Gakupo! Gakupo and Len were blushing furiously when they both saw themselves in a mirror. Meiko, of course, got drunk and started to force everyone to sing along with her. The party was fun. Really, it was. After Meiko paid the bills (packed with lots of credit cards), the twins and Miku took Meiko home. It was a good thing Miku got her drivers license. But a new problem soon came to find me. I was left stranded with Gakupo.

It turned out that he lives in the same neighborhood as me but in different buildings. The walk home was pretty quiet most of the time. Why is it always quiet when I'm with him?

"So," Gakupo broke the silence, coughing as he talked. "the answer from before?"

"Oh you remember." I gave him a sly grin. "Well, I did get some confessions when I was in middle school. And a lot of people started to ask me once I entered high school." Besides me, I saw Gakupo clenching a tight fist. "Are you jealous?" I said in a teasing tone.

"No! Of course not!" he blushed. "Go on."

"Of course I said yes to some. But they all broke up with me after less than a month. Actually, less than a week. The shortest relationship was about..." I silently estimated in my head. "3 hours?"

"What?" Gakupo asked surprised. "Why?"

"Well..." I turned to see a building everyone was crowded around and stopped walking. Gakupo did the same. Checking my watch, it was almost 11PM. What was happening this late?

"Oh, that place is opening today?" Gakupo frowned. "I thought it was next week."

"What place?" I asked.

"It's a, whatchamacallit... oh yeah, a casino. It's pretty famous because I heard there's a lot of famous people who go there. And the food there is great! It's a 5 star."

"Wow that sounds pretty fancy for a casino."

"Look." he pointed to the soon-to-be-opened store. "They're putting up the final touch. The sign."

There were two construction workers putting up a large sign that read "CASINO" in a big fancy looking font. People were squealing with excitement and some were even taking pictures.

"Luka, so the answer to your boy problem?" Gakupo asked.

Still looking at the sign, I said, "Uh... the reason why they broke up with me is because-" that was when I saw it. Below the sign, I saw a boy about my age wearing a white kimono. It looked kind of too big on him. Why was he wearing a kimono? Why is he there? Why did he pass the 'danger' tape the police put on to protect the public?

"Luka?"

"Gakupo, why is that boy in a kimono?" I asked.

"Huh?"

I pointed to the boy. "That guy right there."

"Ummm... what kimono?" Gak squinted his eyes. "Is he in the crowd?"

"No, but he's in the front. He passed the warning sign." The black- no, is it blue? The blue haired boy was standing near the building looking up at the sign. Why aren't the security doing anything? He crossed the 'danger' sign! Are they stupid enough not to notice? He could die if the sign fell!

"Are you talking about the construction workers?" Gakupo asked again.

"No!" I was about to lose my patience. "The blue hair guy!"

At the same time I said it, one of the construction workers let out a small scream. "Oh-! Look out!" he cried to everyone. The sign slipped out of his hand and the other dropped it as well. I looked below and saw the boy just standing there looking at the sign falling. The boy! He needs to move! He'll die if he doesn't!

"Run!" I yelled.

He stayed still not moving an inch. Instead of looking scared, he was looking at the falling sign with an bored expression. Is he blind? Does he have a death wish?

As soon as I knew it, my feet moved on its own and I was running towards the boy.

"Luka!" Gakupo yelled and reached to grab my arm but he was a second too late.

Crossing the road, the cars honked at me and drivers were yelling, "Get out of the way!" but I continued to run.

"Hey! Blue hair in the kimono!" I panted. The guy turned to look at me once with a dull expression and turned to look away. But a second later, he turned to look at me again with his wide blue eyes. Reaching out my arms, I shoved him out of the way and fell on the ground as the heavy sign fell on me. My last moment, I heard people screaming, Gakupo calling my name and the security trying to lift up the sign. Is the boy safe? Where is he? But my body felt so heavy that I couldn't move. My eyes closed, head against the ground, throbbing like madly. I feel something wet around me. It smells like...ick. That horrible smell. Blood? With that last memory, I can hear my heart beating like crazy.

Ba-bump, ba-bump, ba-bump. It slowly beated slower each time.

I remember when I shoved the boy out of the way. I remember touching something... furry...

And then everything turned black.
