Last time we checked in, it was an ordinary check-in for a recording studio. Unfortunately, luck had it another way when Kaito and Miku are infected by a massive virus and are now on the brink of death. Can Kinsora and Kenji save them? Read on!
------
Kinsora and Kenji ran past thousands of shocked onlookers, holding the stretchers that held their dying Vocaloids. Gumi and Luka were pushing the stretches as fast as they could as the rest of the family ran just as fast. Looking up, they saw Rin and Len waving their hands in the air.
"Over here!" Rin called.
"We got a clean room!" Len answered.
They were quick to roll them into the room. Kenji was quick to order the other Vocaloids to grab gloves and masks before they quickly move them onto the stretchers. Neru plugged in Kaito into the pod while Gumi plugged in Miku. The twins plugged in Kinsora's computer on both pods, while Teto and Mako plugged in Kenji's computer, and then everyone stepped back.
"Can you save them?" Gakupo asked.
"We better!" Kinsora said.
"We're going to have to look at what virus we're dealing with, first." Kenji looked up.
They both started tapping into their computers as Miku and Kaito continued to fight for their lives. Kinsora looked into her computer before she finally found the files that held the viruses in them.
"I found them!" She called. "They're in files 0487393, 0983753, 0925483 and 0164483!"
"They're close to their respiratory and circulatory systems…" Kenji bit his lip. "OK, stand back Kinsora. I'll send my security programs on them."
------
She was scared for her life.
The strange demons were after her. They were in her mind. Hiding behind a wall, she looked and saw four large monsters running in the direction that they thought she ran into. She knew them. They were viruses.
Where's Kaito? She thought. Where is everyone? Someone…
She ran in the opposite direction as fast as she could, hearing viruses running toward her. Suddenly, she looked up into the sky and saw lights running through the systems and rained down on them.
------
"Anything?" Luka asked.
"I cornered them." Kenji grinned. "I should be able to get them."
Kinsora looked up as he started to program his security drones to attack the viruses. Suddenly, there was an electric surge, and then Kaito and Miku were electrocuted. The screams were enough to drive Kinsora near madness.
"What's going on?!" Gumi backed up.
"Damn!" Kenji growled. "They're too close to their hearts! If I get them by my security, I might give them permanent damage!"
"What's can we do?" Rin panicked.
"I got an idea!" Kinsora began to rapidly type into her computer. "If someone can just slow the viruses down, I can deprogram them one at a time…"
"But there might be THOUSANDS of them!" Neru argued.
"That's why I need them to SLOW DOWN!" She screamed.
"Don't argue here!" Gumi lifted her arms up. "We don't have that time!"
"I should be able to slow them down." Kenji said. "Can you do this?"
"No problem." Kinsora looked at her computer. "I can't let them die here…"
The typing became frequent and panicky. First, it sounded random and all over the place, but then, it slowly went into a rhythmic pattern. Most of them gave a small sigh of relief, knowing that Kinsora now knew the code she needed to deprogram the viruses. Suddenly, Kaito twitched in pain. Gakupo noticed it, and then saw Miku cry.
Those two… He blinked. Of course! I get it!
He looked up at Luka, who understood the look in his eyes. They both pushed Kaito and Miku closer together, much to everyone's confusion. Suddenly, they saw their hands reach out for each other and intertwined.
"Kaito…Miku…" Meiko gawked.
"They know they're next to each other." Teto's eyes lit up. "How romantic!"
"Yeah…" Mako sighed. "Let's just hope that it actually helps them save each other."
"I think we should leave the room." Luka looked up. "It'll help her concentrate."
Everyone looked at each other, understanding what she was talking about, and yet were hesitant to answer. They all left one by one, holding their hands in anticipation.
------
There was a light in front of her!
She ran as quickly as she could to it, seeing a figure in front of it. She squinted and saw a familiar blue scarf around his neck. She squealed in joy and happiness as she threw herself into his arms. Behind her, the viruses ran past her.
"Thank god it's you, Kaito!" She sobbed.
"Miku…" He smiled. "I'm sorry."
"Sorry?" She looked up. "About what?"
"I knew about the virus attack, and I thought I would be able to channel it into my body so that Kinsora could handle it." He sighed. "I didn't know that you were going to just throw yourself into this."
"You were going to…?"
"Yes." He smiled. "And now I'm going to do what I was planning to do this entire time."
Miku gasped as she saw the viruses run past them and onto Kaito's side of the area. It was only then that she saw that it was Kaito's sub consciousness. She darted her head back to him, who had slowly let go of their embrace.
"You're seriously not…!" She gasped.
"I am." He smiled. "And…Miku?"
"Thank you."
------
"What the heck?!"
Kinsora continued to defragment a virus at a time when she saw the figure of Miku being depleted of viruses, and the figure of Kaito on her computer was starting to rapidly fill up with them. She immediately understood of his intentions.
"Kaito…you crazy…" She looked up. "Kenji!"
"What is it?!" He looked up in shock.
"I need you to start deprogramming the viruses from Kaito! Leave Miku alone!" She ordered.
"Leave Miku…why?!" He panicked.
"I don't know why he's doing it, but…" She looked up. "He's luring the viruses onto his hard drive! We should be able to delete them there."
"All the viruses onto his hard drive?!" He gasped. "But that'll kill him!"
"Not if we kill them first!" She looked up. "The code is 0110100010 0101101101 01101000010010!"
They immediately began to work, using the code as quickly as they could in order to save Kaito. And just like Kinsora predicted, Miku's body was being purified of the viruses. After a few seconds, she was cured. Kinsora turned her attention to her (just for a millisecond) and put her into sleep mode. Suddenly, during their process, a song echoed onto their speakers.
Boku wa umare, soshite kizuku shosen
Hito no mane-goto da to shite na omo
"What the heck?!" Kenji blinked. "What's he saying?!"
Utaitsuzuku towa no inochi VOCALOID
Tatoe sora ga kison kyoku wo
"Wait…I know these lyrics…" Kinsora bit her lip.
Nazoru omocha naraba…sore mo ii to ketsui
Negi wo kajiri sora wo miage shiru wo kobosu
"Well, what are they?!" Kenji yelled.
Owari wo tsuge
"He's…he's saying goodbye…" She bit her lip. "No…not now!"
Display no naka de nemuru
Koko wa kitto "gomi bako" ka na
Jiki ni kioku mo
Nakunatte shimau nante…
The Vocaloids outside heard the fast-paced message that Kaito was giving them. Gakupo held Luka close, feeling her tears welling up from inside her eyes. Meiko hugged the twins close, all aware of what was going to happen. The others bit their lips as they all awaited the end.
"Kaito…" Gumi bit her lip.
Demo ne, anata dake wa wasurenai yo
Tanoshikatta toki ni
Kinsora refused to stop. Her hands were near the part of either falling off or bleeding. Kenji watched her determination with bugged eyes, and then tried to match up that determination. He went fast, and felt the pain slow him down. It was only then that he actually saw Kinsora's fingers bleed.
Kizamitsuketa negi no aji wa
Ima mo nokotteru to ii na…
She could only imagine Miku cry over his body. It was the only image that made her go on. She never wants to see Miku cry. She never wants to see her family cry. She never wants to experience death again. All she could think about while defragmentating the viruses was calling out to her father, and beg for a miracle.
Boku wa utau saigo, anata dake ni
Come on…
Kiite hoshii kyoku wo
COME ON!
Motto utaitai to negau
Keredo sore wa sugita negai
The typing got faster and faster, hoping that for some reason, her ignorance and speed would save Kaito's life. Her family held onto the vaguest form of hope that he could be saved as the virus took over his body.
Koko de owakare da yo
For some reason, Kinsora felt a hand on her wrists, and found her pace slowing down, near the point of stopping. She looked down at her fingers and saw the blood stains of her fingers all over the keyboard.
Boku no omoi subete kokuu kiete
Rei to ichi ni kangen sare
Kinsora couldn't find the energy that ran her fingers before. She was tired as ever. Her fingers were too weak (and too bloody) to continue working, but she went on a slower pace, hoping that it would be all that she needs. Kenji took up the baggage, taking her fast pace.
Monogatari wa maku wo tojiru
Soko ni nani mo nokosenai to
Yappa sukoshi zannen ka na?
Her fingers were getting bloodier by the minute. She was forcing herself to go on, much to everyone's amazement. The twins saw how fast and how determined Kinsora was going on, and found themselves crying. Rin held herself as she shivered.
Koe no kioku sore igai wa
Yagate usure na dake nokoru
Tatoe sore ga orijinaru ni
Kanau koto no nai to shitte
Kinsora was driving herself crazy. Looking up, she saw Miku waking up from her sleep mode. Shocked, she went even faster, forcing every part of her energy into her dying fingers. Miku looked up at Kinsora's determination, and then at Kaito's body, sleeping next to her, probably never to awaken…
Utaikitta koto wo
Kesshite muda janai to omoitai yo
She froze as the reality of Kaito's fate sank into her soul. She reached out to him, throwing herself out of her pod and grabbing Kaito's hand. From the door, the family saw Miku's face and the tears began to fall. Kinsora went even faster when she heard a voice echo again.
Arigatou…
Soshite…
Sayonara…
Miku started to rapidly shake him, begging him to wake up and to keep fighting. Kinsora went faster and faster until she felt herself slowing down. The reality was sinking into her. Her blood was now all over her laptop keyboard. She sank to her knees and cried.

Kaito had been taken down…but is it permanently? Wait on. And yes, the lyrics here are in fact the lyrics of the final fast segment of "The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku". And as for Kenji and his Vocaloids (I forgot to mention this before), I'll be doing an intro fanfic for them later. Look forward to it!
