OK GUYS. FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS THE ALTERNATE ENDING FOR THE MIKUMIKUGEASS SERIES OF MINE. OKIE? OKIE. NOW THAT WE'VE GOTTEN THAT STRATGHTENED OUT, GO CHECK OUT THE NEXT CHAPTER FOR THE OTHER ENDING.

Again, it was midnight when the computer mysteriously booted up and beeped in reminder of an email. Lelouch slowly opened his eyes and looked at the lively computer, rising and going to sit in the chair in front of the machine, gently rubbing his eyes to clear his vision.

From Subject Date

Miku Hatsune HELP! Sun 7/10. 12:00 AM

Lelouch opened the email with a groggy movement. A shrill screech assulted his ears as a picture of Miku, littered with static holes like a hologram, tried to say something to him. He jumped, now fully awake due the sound and looked at Miku with wide eyes. She battered against the glass of the computer, her words jumbled and mishapen.

"Proe-pro-g-g-g-g-programmmmmm-program!" She finally managed. Lelouch automatically searched the program she sent the last time they parted and opened it, the screen going black and silence filled the air as the whole computer shut down. Only sound heard was Lelouch's shallow breathing, and the sound of his heart thumping in alarm. His eyes still adjusting to the darkness he didn't see until the last second a green-blue body being spit out the screen, straight into Lelouch.

"Lelouch!" She yelled in her high pitched way.

Lelouch looked at her. "Miku?"

"Guess what? I got an English voice pack!" She squealed. "But the problem is, on the computer it's destroying our voice banks. Our ability to speak is getting less and less."

Lelouch looked at her wildly. This was new. An English voice pack? She still had the Japanese accent but at leeast he could understand her. Sighing, Lelouch got up. "What's happening?"

"The masters computer has a some sort of infection..."

"What? An infection?"

"Yes."

"Meaning..."

"Rin, Len, and Megurine are already gone and KAITO's very sick with the virus...we're slowly being uninstalled by the infection..." She twiddled her fingers nervously. "B-but I'm ok! I wasn't infected by it."

"Well, at least you weren't, Miku. Ah...I'm not sure there's anything I can do-"

"BUT YOU HAVE TO HELP, LELOUCH!" She squealed, upset. Tears fell from her eyes. "I don't want to lose my family...the twins are gone...Megurine onee-chan is gone...and KAITO's almost gone! Please...help me, Lelouch..." She sobbed. Lelouch sighed. Of course he had to be dragged into such a difficult situation. Just his luck, per usual.

"Alright. I'll do my best. But you have to remember, I'm still very busy." Lelouch huffed. Since when did he start doing favors? Was it because he pittied this girl? He decided not to ponder it and walked to the door. "We'll handle it tomorrow. I have school." He smirked and left the room.

Miku beamed happily. But she knew, oh how she knew they didn't remember her at the school. They wouldn't. She grinned happily and took off her excess clothes, setting them neatly on the desk and crawled into the familiar bed. Then she realized. Where was C.C.? She got up and sneaked to Nunnally's room. Only...Nunnally wasn't there. Instead there was a boy. Miku blinked. What...

"Ngh..." The boy rolled over. Miku almost yelped and scampered back to the room she was in earlier, hiding under the covers. Eventually sleep took over her and then morning. She was woken up early and she got up to see Lelouch before the boy she'd seen the night before walked in.

"Brother..." The boy frowned. "Who is this?"

Lelouch spun one of his clever lies with ease. "This is Miku. She's a friend of mine. She came in late last night from her flight and she's going to be staying here for awhile."

"Oh okay. Hello Miku. I'm Rolo. Lelouch's brother."

Miku smiled and nodded. She didn't like this "Rolo". Lelouch didn't have a brother. But she knew she'd better not ask and just accepted it. She'd ask Lelouch later perhaps. About Rolo and Nunnally.

"Well, Miku. Try not to cause trouble while we're at school, okay?" Lelouch smiled that fake smile of his and walked out. Miku let a frown ruin her face as she stared at her toes. After an hour of sitting like that she decided she was hungry and strode to the kitchen, making a mess trying to cook some traditional japanese food. She was so used to KAITO or Luka cooking. And there were no Leeks! Shame on Lelouch!

"UGH! I hate cooking!" Miku stamped her foot on the ground. After a little while longer she made something that was...at least edible. Not tasy, though. She soon spit it out and threw it away, grabbing an onion and eating it like an apple in her anger. She stared out the window for awhile too and took a shower. After awhile she snooped around Rolo's room, not finding anything suspicious of the sort. She sighed and went back to Lelouch's room. But now she was curious about what dirty secrets Lelouch held. After looking around, she found none. Only clothes and a few trinkets scattered around. Lelouch's room was just too clean. C.C. gave it a lived-in feeling at least. Around 3:00 PM the door opened and she sat up happily, looking at the tired and bored Lelouch.

"Lelouch!" She squealed.

"Hello Miku." He smiled.

Miku decided now was the time to ask. "Lelouch...who is Rolo?"

Lelouch only frowned. "He's my brother, of course."

"Oh. Okay." She didn't push it. There was more reason but she was no fool. Lelouch didn't tell lies like that for no reason. She kept a steady eye on him anyway just to see if there was any indication of him going to say the truth. Instead, she decided to go to the matter at hand.

"What about MY brother? We must save him!"

Lelouch looked at her. "Miku, you know these programs can be reloaded? It'll be fin-"

"I don't want him to suffer!"

"I know...but you must realize that sometimes we have to let things go. He'll be reloaded and without any memory of the incident. It's fine. Sometimes we have to suffer to see the light..."

It made sense now. Lelouch lost his sister and he was suffering everyday from it. He also led a rebellion against the largest Empire. What had Miku suffered? Nothing. She'd lived a wonderful life, always taking because she was too selfish to give. She fumed for a moment before walking over to Lelouch.

"LELOUCH I WANNA-" Then she remembered something. So she leaned down close and whispered. "I wanna join the Black Knights."

Lelouch flinched. "But Miku-"

Miku opened her arms. "Look at me. What's there to lose? I need to help in some way."

He sighed. "...Miku...no."

"WHY NOT? ARE YOU AFRAID OF WHAT I'LL DO?"

"I don't need your help, I'm afraid."

"Okay...okay." Miku sat down, upset. Before she knew it, she started fading...fading from existence. "What's happening-"

"You'll just be asleep for awhile..." Lelouch had his head hung. Miku screamed at first, only for no sound to come out but then she remembered that Lelouch wouldn't delete her...would he...?

"-u."

"-ku."

"-iku."

"Miku."

She was floating...she felt weightless...

Blue-green eyes opened carefully. Before her was a face she'd longed to see.

"KAITO..." Her eyes welled with artificial tears and they streamed out, releasing into the atmosphere like they were in space, floating away before dissapearing.

Kaito smiled. "Yes, it's me."

"How did you get here?"

"...Miracles, Miku."

"Where are we?"

"In master's computer. We were waiting for you to awaken."

"But Le-"

"We'll explain later." KAITO grabbed Miku's hand gently and led her toward a DOOR that was randomly around and opened it, letting in tons of light.

Miku gasped slightly. There they were...Rin, Len, Luka...all of them. They smiled at her and ran for hugs.

"I'm so glad you're all okay." Tears ran down Miku's face again, "But what happened to Lel-"

"Miku...we have to tell you something." Luka said sadly. "Lelouch saved us...but he was killed a few days ago...the rebellion is over...everything...everything is at peace, though."

"No...no...not Lelouch..." Miku fell to her knees. She never understood him much, but she just needed more time with him...she never had the time...

"But Miku...don't cry. I have a surprise. Well, we have a surprise."

"Like what?" Miku screamed. "Nothing could possibly remedy this..."

Don't say that. A familiar voice.

Miku gasped and looked up. Nothing. What...

"See? That voice? Miku...you have a soul. That voice will forever follow you inside your heart. We're not just programs. We're computerized people with binary souls that feel just as well as anyone else."

"But-I don't understand."

"Yes. I know. But here's the real surprise..." Luka opened a door to the side to reveal yet another black-room. Miku gingerly walked over and took a step in. Soon, the door closed and she saw something amazing.

There he was, in all his god-like glory, asleep, floating in the empty space was Lelouch. Miku knew this wasn't really him. It was just a medium. For the voice she heard in her heart.

Hello

Yes,that was him... "Lelouch...you look just as you did before."

Thing work out in strange ways.

"How long will you stay?" There was no answer. "I'll miss you."

Don't. I'm merely in another state of living. I'm not dead until this body dissappears.

"That doesn't mean a thing."

Perhaps not.

"Don't ever leave me." No response. "Lelouch?"

My words are limited. I cannot answer questions.

"Okay..." Then as she shed more tears she whispered. "I love you." and let herself fall into a deep sleep so she could spend eternity in the binary world with the demon prince who'd destroyed the world...and created a new one.
