Chapter 3 Virtualization!
Kaire's POV
.oO0Oo.
Walking through a street full of NPC's , I looked at the directions to the Humanoid house, an
electric guitar on my back and violin in my hand. All in cases of course. The violin was a white electric
in a dusty rose, wooden case. The guitar, decorated to my likes, was a in a protective, wood case
covered in brown leather. Embroidered in the leather, was a red-pink rose with grass green stem.
Thorns included. I was wearing what I designed the day before, a violet tank top, layered over a silver
one. The straps were about two inches and tied together with baby-blue ribbon. I also had Vocaloid-like
sleeves, and the hems were covered by the same ribbon on my tank top straps. My skirt was a mid-
thigh length, black pleated skirt that resembled Miku's, but the two inch hems were indigo with aqua
lining. My hair was tamed and braided with lavender and powder blue ribbons. My eyes were lighter, a
steel gray instead of midnight black. Finally, my blue pearl choker I would never leave in the human
world.
After running into about three NPC's, I made it to the large, futuristic house. It was about three
stories, probably including a basement. The perimeter was blocked by a high, iron fence. It kind of
scared me. Who were we keeping out? I kept walking, seeing a glass, cylinder-shaped elevator on the
side of the house. It over looked the virtual city, and I couldn't see a cord. Hover elevator? I continued
my steady pace, getting closer to the large house, though, it wasn't large enough to be called a mansion.
When I reached the gate, an NPC dressed as security looked at me, with a scowl even more
grumpy then JD's.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"Kaire Namida. I was supposed to be here for the Humanoid gathering?" I try. He raised
an eye brow.
"Show me your bags." he demanded. I sighed and showed him the violin case, and the
violin. He looked over the electric instrument that looked more like a frame. When he saw a red-pink
rose crest, like on my guitar case, his eyes got wide.
"Let me see your guitar case," he asked, urgent, but nicer then before. I showed him the
case. Upon seeing the rose crest, he went to look at a clip board.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Miss. Namida. Please, there will be someone waiting by the door." he
apologized. With wide eyes, I looked at the case, and the violin when he handed it to me, and nodded,
putting the white instrument away and heading to the door.
Iraine's POV
.oO0Oo.
My cases almost slipped out of my hand when I mumbled a sorry to the NPC that had run into
me. One case had a black electric violin. The other, a purple stained wooden viola. The cases both
were plastic and protective, the viola one had a crest. A white cross piercing a black treble clef..
When I opened up the cases, I saw the violin had one on the frame, as well. I had no idea what they
were for, but they looked good on the instruments. It all matched my clothes, a long purple shirt, with a
low v-neck, a silver unzipped jacket and matching violet hems and stitching. Instead of Vocaloid arm
warmers, I had leathery, black fingerless gloves. My black, lightly glowing DJ head phones had
small white wings on the sides. My bottom half was covered with short silver shorts. Leg warmers that
almost covered my feel and went to my thighs glowed at the lighter violet hems. A long, black chain
decorated my neck. The charm was a cross going through a treble clef, like on my instruments.
Finding the house, as it was hard to miss, I walked up to the iron gates, wondering what they
were keeping out and why they had to be so heavy duty.
The security didn't look too happy, or nice. I kept walking, though.
"Great, who are you?" he asked, almost annoyed. I shrink back a bit, shyness taking
over.
"Iraine Serena, sir." I whisper. He heard, but scoffed.
"Cases." he says, looking away and holding out his hand. I hand him my viola case first.
When he saw the crest, he immediately went to go get a clip board. Scanning it, he nods.
"Sorry, Miss. Serena. This thing doesn't have pictures, only the crests. I haven't seen any
of you before."
"It's fine. Where am I supposed to go?" I ask, putting on a faint smile.
"Someone at the door will show you," he says. Something beeps, and the gate opens. I
nod my thanks, pick up the viola case, and walk in.
Ziyan's POV
.oO0Oo.
"Look out!" I yell at what Crypton staff told me were NPC's. Some yelled as I rode my
new, virtual hover board through their streets. It was just like a skate board, which I excelled at back at
home. I was reluctant to ride this one at first, because it looked like skate board shaped glass with small
metal boxes. Since the whole city had a large grid, it was magnetic levitation. But, with this, I could go
higher then skate boards and the tricks were smoother, for obvious reasons.
My white electric violin was in one had, while my black electric viola was in the other. My
piano and cello were already at the house. Or so I was told. The frames both had a cat paw prints with
blood red scratches that reminded me of the Monster symbol.
Which reminded me. I went to take a drink, when I realize I'd had dropped in doing a flip high
in the air, earlier. Crap.
When the board, already programmed with the directions, I guess, stopped in front of an iron
gated, giant house, I turned it off and picked it up like I'd pick up a regular skate board.
"Yo, security dude. I'm Ziyan Tenshi Lenae, Humanoid!" I give him a pointed tooth
smile and a thumbs up. He sighs and holds his hand out. I hand him the board and smile. He frowns,
but looks at the board anyway. I hadn't noticed, but one of the magnets had the same crest as my
instruments. He peeks a look at my tie and nods me in.
"Someone at the door will be waiting to show you to the meeting room, Miss. Tenshi-Lenae."
he said.
"Cool." tell him. When there's a beep and the gate swings open, I take time to put my
cases down and look myself over. I was in a white, tank top button up, with a black, zipper vest over it.
There were pocket on both sides, and a thinner-then-usual red tie hanging down the middle. Two gray
clips on the tie also held the crest. The black skinny jeans that covered my legs were a perfect fit. Red
high-tops with my glowing crest on the ankle bones, like Converse, covered my feet and were still
visible. Black gelly bracelets glowed along with a black and aqua bracelet bearing my name, and red
and black, also glowing, bud head phones stuck out of my shirt. My dark hair was shorter and looked
more like a boy, but my bangs were still streaked with blonde twice and they still continued to get in
my now red eyes.
Shrugging, deciding I looked fine, I walked to the door and was greeted my a finely dressed
NPC butler-like guy.
"Hello, Miss Ziyan. I am Fredrick. Care for an energy drink?" he said, holding out a
Monster. I happily accepted. "If you'd follow me," he sweeped his hands across the floor, and I nodded,
a satisfied smile on my face.
Tuanette's POV
.oO0Oo.
I only had to carry a regular black wooden violin, and white electric viola. All of my other
instruments that I played were already at the house. Except for my pink, acoustic guitar on my back.
The cases all have the Korean symbol for "Beauty" on it in bright white, as well as the viola, in black.
My hair was opposite from what it was in the human world, dark at the roots, then getting
lighter until the tips were a light pink. My seeing eye was a pretty slate gray with sapphire flecks, and
my blind eye changed to a metallic gold color with duller blue flecks. My perfect fitting pink jeans
had glowing, darker pink stitching and seams. My white shirt had my own work. A hand drawn picture
of Minnie Mouse, her front end on the front side of my shirt, and her back on the back. Everything that
was pink on Minnie, was outlined in a thin, glowing pink line. It was tucked in, but I pulled it out a bit,
so it was puffed out, but one could still see my pure white, glowing belt, buckle the same character as
my cases. Just before the poof of my shirt, there were capital glowing blue letters that read "CIEL
HIGH". Ciel was my Korean name. Me, being half-Korean and all. My pink high-tops glowed at the
lighter pink soles, and the mic of my also glowing pink and blue head phones kept getting hair stuck in
it. My wrist was decorated in glowing inspirational-message bands, reading in both Korean and
English.
When I finally reached what Crypton told me was Humanoid Hall, I blinked when the security
guard NPC stopped me.
"And who might you be, Pinkie?" he spat. I bit my lower lip and took a step back.
"Tuanette O'Prim. I was supposed to meet the Humanoids here?" I tried.
"Well, if your a Humanoid, were's you crest?" he teased. Crest?
"I-I don't think I have one, sir..." I replied in a small voice. He chuckled.
"No crest, no entry. Sorry, Pinkie." he shooed me away.
"I have to be in there, though. Everyone might be waiting on me-"
"All Humanoids have a special crest. If you don't have one, you aren't a Humanoid and
therefore are not allowed entry. JD has scheduled autographs for three hours from now, wait and shop
around until then. Buh-bye, Pinkie." he mockingly waved me away. I opened my mouth to say
something else, but the words stopped in my throat when the guard looked at me expectantly with a
raised eye brow. He laughed when I said nothing.
"That's right, move along-"
"You idiot!" I recognized that snide, now very hostile voice. I looked behind the guard
and saw the pale blonde, jade eyes now furious.
"Tuanette! C'mon!" JD pushed a button, and I heard something beep and the gate swung
open. Before I could follow her in, the guard stepped in front of me.
"JD, stop, this is an imposter. She doesn't have a crest. Don't let her in." he said,
smirking at me.
"Stupid!" JD said through gritted teeth, while slapping him upside the head. I gaped for
a moment. "Of course she has a crest!" she jerked my arm, not too hard, over to her and showed him
my belt and cases.
"I-Uh, well... she-"
"Shut up!" JD gritted her teeth more, then hit him over the head with a bass case even
larger then the last one I saw her with. This one was bulky and pure metal. Even if he was an NPC,
he'd have to be taken to the NPC hospital.
"Uhh..."
"C'mon, everyone's waiting." she said, voice nicer, but still had a snide hint to it. It
seemed very... JD.
"Wait, everyone was waiting for me?" I ask, walking in surprise, having to be lead
around by JD.
"Duh! I made them wait. I wasn't going to let you miss every thing. And don't worry.
That guy, as of right now, is fired. I told Meiko to let me pick the damn guard!" she cursed. I allowed
myself a smile.
"Thanks, JD. Next time, though, I'll handle it." I vowed. She gave me a smirk.
"Good. Alright, go sit with the others."
Sora's POV
.oO0Oo.
"Is Tuanette here?" I asked JD when she came in, but she went straight to Meiko.
"Stupid! That idiot guard you hired is OUT! I'm picking the next guy, and you can just
stay the hell out of it!" she yelled while Meiko held her hands up in surrender.
"JD! Calm down." Len tried, but she just kept lecturing Meiko, who put on a drunken
smile and tried a million times to apologize.
"Ugh!" my cousin finally stormed off. Akira, her orange haired manager hurried after
her. Sometimes, JD could actually act like those stereo-typical celebs.
"Blah, c'mon, Sora. You should sit with the others." Kaito said. I nodded. Poking my
head out of the curtain, I scoped out possible friends. A girl with braided, raven black hair, about the
same shade as my own, was looking around, I guess trying for the same thing. I shrugged, dragged my
whole body out from behind the curtain, and hopped off stage to take the seat next to her. Everyone
was spread out in the auditorium, kind of like a high school, or a movie theater. All the velvet seats
folded up and down, and everyone was either sitting and chatting with the person next to them, if they
even had someone next to them, or putting their feet up on the chair in front of them and lounging.
"Hi." I say to the girl, whose eyes were elegantly slanted, and a pretty silver gray. She
looked at me, then put on an "oh," face.
"Your the girl who jumped off the stage." she said, then looked around and counted.
When she did this another couple times, I was tapping my foot impatiently.
"Your thirteen." she concluded.
"No, I'm fourteen" I retorted. She face palmed.
"No, there were only supposed to be twelve Humanoids. Your thirteen." she explained.
"No, I'm one." I mimicked her voice. Her face suddenly looked annoyed.
"Seriously, are you like, and Utauloid, or something?" she asked, trying to figure it out.
"No. I'm a Humanoid." I said.
"Then either someone here is an Utau, or a fake." she concluded.
"Uh... no." I reopened her case.
"What? What does that mean?" she looks very confused.
"I was the first Humanoid, you twelve came when it was decided the Vocaloids could
train more then one human at a time." I shrugged. She blinked once. Twice.
"Uhh... Oh. Well, I'm Kaire Namida." she shook her head and held out her hand.
"Sora Tokine." I took her hand and shook.
"Everyone, please take a seat." a voice, whom I recognized as Gumi, said through an
intercom. Everyone obeyed and a few started to whisper.
"Thank you. Now, please give a warm welcome to JD, last terms Humanoid!" Gumi
said, enthusiastically through the mic. People clapped and some whistled as JD came out in black
jeans with large, terrible teal-blue stitches spiraling down her left leg. Some of the seams seemed to be
ripping, but it was made to look like that. Her teal-blue "jacket" was short, and only went about mid-
stomach length. Under was a white-gray shirt. The jacket was cropped, and went to her elbows. But
only on one arm. There wasn't a sleeve on her right arm. Her hood was up, with holes at the top for her
black cat-eared head phones. Her lip was newly pierced. Well, it was new to me, but I haven't seen her
for two months. Coming off the piercing, a chain that dipped to her chin and hooked to an earring.
"Hey! I'll be your baby sitter on the weekends. Over the summer, we have a special
schedule for the weeks, but that's for later! Anyway, I'm here, right now, to introduce your teachers, the
Vocaloids!" she shouted into a hand mic. Then, out came some of the most well-know Vocaloids.
Miku, Rin, Len, Luka, Kaito, Meiko, Gakupo, Gumi, and IA.
"They all have important jobs, so think of them like your teachers, and this like a
school." JD informed. "I'm the one who kicks your butt if you misbehave."
"Miku, with Luka, will teach stage confidence and other stuff you need when you
become," she paused to dramatically flip her hair, "Super stars. Rin and Len will teach you
choreography and what dance steps would be good for what. IA will help with instruments, Gakupo
and Kaito and Meiko will help with those lower ranges and vocal recognition. Gumi, Luka, and Miku
will help with costumes. All of them, including everyone who isn't here at the moment, will teach song
writing based on your abilities. You will all get a private teacher for that. Now, some privates have
instrumental courses if you play allot. So, tell you teachers when that happens. Okay, now we take a
tour while the others get rooms ready." JD hopped off stage while the Vocaloids waved and everyone
cheered and clapped. For only thirteen people, it was loud.
"Everyone, even though I hate it, single file. This, obviously, is the auditorium. Rin and
Len will teach there classes here. Back stage in make-up, Gumi, Miku and Luka will teach their
classes. Follow me to the instrument room." she waved, walking to a door to the left of the stage.
Opening the door with the Japanese character for "instrument", everything was split. In the middle, a
normal grand piano. To the right, everything was, normal, wooden, and classical. The curtains to the
window wall were thick and peach colored. In the corner, my piano. I ran over to it, to now see,
intertwined with the treble clef was a bass clef. There were an assortment of instruments, all wood.
On the other side, a glass piano with electric classical instruments, all white or black. It was
amazing and futuristic, with sound boards and what looked like an extreme Guitar Hero.
"It is all split up, according to your instrument types and your preferences. Now, all of
you have an instrument here, and you cannot, I will not repeat, play with another Humanoids
instrument without their permission. When working, you can move from side to side so don't ask." JD
was impatient when she talk. She also looked very bored, like she would rather do something else. Not
that I was complaining, I kind of wanted to do something else, too. But it was really cool, seeing the
new mansion just for Humans.
"Walk to your left, there is an immediate door to the Choir room. That's where singing
and , well, stuff like that takes place. Actually, there are three joined Choir rooms, two for privates, one
for multiple people, things like duets and stuff. No, we aren't going in because people are setting up in
there and we can't get in their way. We are, instead, going to turn our butts around and go out through
the in door." She pushed through the thirteen of us and ended back up at the front again. She opened the
door and we headed back out to the Auditorium. Rin and Len were the only ones in it, Len with his
specs trying to read over a list of "students", and Rin just dancing around. When they saw us re-enter,
they waved at everyone. The crowd around me got a bit excited and anxiously waved back.
"Wow, that's so cool." a voice said from behind. I turn, and see Kaire walking with
another girl, with deep black hair with two streaks of almost platinum blonde on hair bangs that were in
her seemingly glowing red eyes; the same color as her shoes and one of her head phones.
She must have noticed my awkward staring, because she waved her hand in my face.
"Hello? This is my Monster, so no." she informed. The truth was, I hadn't even noticed
the Monster energy drink in her hand. I sighed.
"Sorry. I'm Sora Tokine." I continued to walk, but backward, looking behind me every
so often so I wouldn't run into anyone.
"Ziyan Tenshi. So, Kaire here tells me you are the 'senior Humanoid'," she pointed to
Kaire with her thumb, who blushed a bit when her position was given away.
"Is this true?" Ziyan continued, with a sort of curiosity and anxiousness for the answer
that someone like JD might express. She waited for an answer as I tried to think of one. A voice, also
female, saved me.
"Of course she is. If you would catch up on you Humanoid news more often, then you
would know that." the three of us, and that included Kaire, found the voice had belonged to a black
haired girl, with the same bloody eyes as Ziyan. Her hair was like Luka's, but black like mine. She
wore a plain white shirt with an unbuttoned jacket, with very baggy jeans hiding what I assumed were
boots. Her sleeves were rolled up to reveal fingerless black gloves. She looked nice, despite her typical
vampire like appearance, and silly.
"Oh, hi! I'm Hien Negurine. I've heard of you. Your Sora, right?" she was talking to me,
and I realized her name was familiar.
"Your last name is like Luka's!" Ziyan was the first to notice, but her voice was some too
loud for JD in the front.
"Yo, Sora! Keep your friends quiet." she yelled.
"Your yelling, too, JD." I so kindly pointed out. She made the group stop for a minute.
"Do as I say, not as I do," she mumbled, the she said something else that I didn't catch,
and we all started onward again.
"Is she always like this?" Kaire whispered. I laughed.
"No, JD is the biggest Tsundere you or I will ever meet. Actually, she cares a lot and can
actually use reverse psychology if she needed." I put out the most random of my thoughts on my
cousin, getting a confused look from my small but ever growing group.
"We needed to know about psychology?" Ziyan questioned my logic. I shrugged.
"I may have saved you from it, my friend. Now, back to Hien," I looked to her and she
was trying to stifle minor laughter.
"Right! Your name is like Luka's!" Kaire repeated Ziyan, but much quieter. Hien nodded
in excitement.
"I know! When I was first shown Vocaloid, I was like 'Oh my God! We have almost the
exact same name!' which is a small reason why I like Luka, but definitely not the only reason!" she told
us. Some of us, meaning Ziyan and Hien, laughed. Kaire and I just smiled.
"What's so funny?" yet another voice was ending up in the group. A pinkette with a kind
smile and Korean crest.
"Well, this is Hien Negurine." I pointed to Hien with a sort of snide smile JD eventually
taught me without me knowing it. The pinkette with gold and silver and blue eyes blinked.
"That is kind of funny," she joined in on our smiling.
"Let me introduce you to the group!" I smiled a real smile, noticing her really cool
glowing Minnie Mouse shirt.
"The one with blonde bangs and a Monster is Ziyan, the one with the gray eyes and long
braid is Kaire, and you have met Hien." I was surprised no-one wanted to introduce themselves. The
pinkette giggled.
"I'm Tuanette O'Prim," she held out her hand, and Kaire shook it, with a kind smile on her face.
"Oh, your Tuanette! JD told me about you!" I told her.
"And your the girl that jumped off the stairs." she answered. I nodded.
"Over there is the Cafe where you can hang out and get snacks, and hang out and do
what we all in the human world call home work." JD had been talking the whole time but we had
barely noticed, seeing as we were talking the whole time. We were all standing in a five person line,
Tuanette and Kaire on the ends, Ziyan, Hien and Iin the middle. Hien was in the very middle. I was
saying I was excited to see what the rooms look like. Tuanette chuckled, and I looked over Ziyan and
Hien to see her.
"What?"
"I just find it funny that you've been here more than any of us obviously, and you've
never seen the inside of Humanoid Hall." she told me. She had a point, I guess.
"Well, I was just informed of this, like, last week. I didn't even know we were getting
another House until it was already built."
"Ah, that makes sense," Kaire spoke before Tuanette.
"Speaking of the other House, what does the Vocaloid mansion look like?" Ziyan went
to go toss her now empty can in the nearest trash, talking as she walked away.
"Yeah, what's it like?" Hien looked at me with her bloody eyes, gorgeous but unsettling
to someone who doesn't see that much red that much. Except for Meiko's closet, which I try to avoid
because of the smell.
"It's actually called Virtuoso House. It's big, but really crowded because there are a ton
of people living there. Whenever there is a Humanoid, we get the same room as the last, so my room
held Humanoid history," I shrugged as they waited for more. "Really, it isn't that exciting. There is no
marble staircases, crystal chandeliers or anything like that. It's futuristic, like Humanoid Hall. The
dinning table is about the same size, because not everyone eats at the table. There is a huge mock stage,
and a huge costume gallery. I bet Humanoid Hall is just a smaller copy, just more school like." I
concluded.
"Now, we all need to head up the elevator to get to the second floor for the weekend
dorms. The elevator is a glass hover pod that looks out on the city. You can see Virtuoso House and
Equivocal Manor, the home to the UTAUloids. You can visit the other mansions, but only after 'school'
is over. You can also shop the Shopping District for virtual clothes, but all costumes are provided by
Humanoid Hall." JD was starting to sound like a real tour guide. It was kind of creeping me out.
"So, we'll head up in groups of three, because that's how many people can ride at a time.
The hover-magnets use the mag-lev grid running through the city. It calculates the mass of the people
riding at one time and uses that data to calculate the force needed to have the same acceleration each
ride." Now JD was really scaring me; she was acting too smart. I got up on my tip-toes to look over
everyone, to get a look at JD to make sure she was still my cousin, or if someone replaced her at some
point during the tour. JD was there, all right. She was reading off note cards that someone, probably
Len or Luka, had given her.
People started to board the elevator, and within ten seconds, there was a ding, signaling the next
ride was ready.
The next two rides went by quick. Before I knew it Tuanette, Ziyan and Hien were on a ride
together. JD, Kaire and I were the only ones left. Which was weird because then Kaire, JD and I would
be sharing a small space.
"What?" she finally asked.
"You don't like small spaces, JD." Kaire saw my logic and was going through
scenarios in her head.
"How bad is your claustrophobia, JD?" she asked. No, not scenarios. Phobias. I did that
a lot too, so I related.
JD blinked with arched eyebrows, then sighed.
"Listen, I'm perfectly fine. It's gotten better, Sora. It's not like when we were kids." I
gaped as she told us this. Frowning, she "assured" us it was fine and wasn't going to break. Really, she
was assuring herself.
"And besides," she leaned against the wall as if she was too cool to stand on her own,
looking out the window wall I had only just noticed and failing to pick something out of her teeth and
then giving up and playing with her chain that was almost exactly like 96Neko's. "I'll be going with my
cousin." she wasn't looking at me, but it was directed at me, obviously.
"Jiane..." I hugged her even though I knew she hated it. She squirmed and
writhed, but I held on with a small smile plastered on my face.
"Hey! Let go, Baka!" she tried to push me away, but only one hand was available to do
that.
"Uh, JD?" Kaire tried to break us apart, and I let her.
"What?"
"Aren't people waiting for you?"
"Crap! Yes! Sora," she dragged out my name in an accusing voice and I just walked over
calmly to push the up button.
"Yes?"
"Ugh! Never mind! Get in the damn elevator!" JD cursed and gritted her teeth, steping
inside with none of the caution Kaire and I tried to show.
"Man, your right. She is a Tsundere!" Kaire whispered behind her hand. I held back
giggles.
"I am not!" JD was sensitive to the words "Tsundere" and "Loli". I had to bite down on
my lower lip to keep from laughing, and Kaire was having the same problem.
Best ten second elevator ride ever.
The door reopened to a wide hallway with three large looking rooms on one side, and four on
the other. Another, bigger looking room was at the very end of the hallway.
"Now, each of you have to have a room mate. Your names are printed on the door, so
don't go in a room with your new super buddy and say 'oh, I didn't know where my room was so I'm
gonna bunk with-' fill in a name. No. I'm sure you won't have a problem finding your room. My room
is at the end of the hall. Knock or ring if you need anything that room service can't take care of, which
is next to nothing. So I don't want a million people coming to my room with a bunch of 'JD, my mic is
broken,', 'JD, my bathroom flooded,', 'JD, my room mate's a meanie,'. There will be no room mate
switching, one of you will be without a room mate, and all room mates are paired by gender and a
bunch of other things you probably won't
listen to." JD let the quick information sink in, crossing her arms and looking at everyone.
"Do I make myself clear?" she yelled. "Do as I say, not as I do,"
"Clear!" a synchronized word rang out.
"Crystal." I whispered under my breath, as the only one who had failed to say "clear".
"Alright then, GO!" she shooed us away and I immediately went to the left side. I don't
know, maybe it was the fact left was my dominant side, so I went that way, or the fact I'm left handed
and all the Vocaloids knew it so my room was probably on the left when coming into the hall.
I was right. My name was under another, with my crest siting right next to it. But the name
under mine didn't have a crest. Who was I rooming with, I wonder.
"Sora," JD was behind me, all serious and JD-like. I turned around.
"Yes, oh wide cousin of mine?" I said, about as snide as JD is when she lazily lounges
around the house. She frowned.
"You won't be sharing a room with a normal 'loid," she used a slang, a general term for
the, well, 'loids.
"No kidding."
"You aren't making this easy, Sora!" she gritted her teeth and I scoffed.
"JD, you sound like your trying to tell me Hotaru died. Did your cat die?" I was
suddenly worried for the small black kitten until JD expressed disgust.
"No, Baka. You get a noob." she smirked at the end of her sentence, like that was a bad
thing. I stuck my tongue out at her.
"Why?"
"Because, there was a weird number of Humanoids, and your a senior. Plus, she's also
supposed to help me with you butt heads and is the master of the house while you guys all away with
me and Akira." she explained. It mostly made sense. I looked back to the door to see the name. Naomi
Miwa. Huh.
"Alright, fine. Whatever." I finally decided. JD laughed. Everyone had found their
rooms at some point during our chat.
"Well, it seems no-one had trouble with rooms at all, just like I planned. So, if you see
Akira around, tell him I need him in my room." she waved good bye in a lazy fashion as one of my
eyebrows raised at her request.
"Are we staying at the Hall today?" I asked.
"Sora, if you haven't noticed, it's about five pm in the human world. I had everyone at
Crypton call parents to get the okays, and no-one turned it down. Dinners happening at six, so you and
Naomi need to be ready. Or eat with your friends, don't care. As long as if you see Akira, send him
over," she remind me. My eyebrow continued to stay up.
"This late at night?" I questioned her logic. She smirked.
"We need to have a chat." she hissed the last word. I shivered. Being in the same room
with JD and that voice meant bruises. Usually.
"What did he do, this time?" I was curious, anyway.
"Oh, nothing." subject dropped.
"Alright. Leave now, cousin!" I waved her away, and she glared. I just laughed. One of
the only people able to withstand a mighty JD glare. She walked away, anyway.
Just as she closed the door, Akira came through the elevator. He had long, orange red hair and
gold eyes, with a nineteen year old martial arts master's build, save for the fact he was eighteen and
barely did any martial arts. He had on a white button up and black pants.
When he spotted me, he smiled. He was JD's counter part. Genuine kindness and cool minded
decisions, which is why he was the manager and not JD.
"Akira, JD needs you in her room." I said out right. He stopped and blinked in mild
shock.
"Jiane?" he was the only on brave enough to call her by her name-name, beside my mom
and Aunt Tatsuki who don't count. "What did I do this time?"
"I don't know, she said nothing. And that you needed to have a chat." when I said this, he
smiled, all shock or fear replaced. Oh, God.
"I see. Well, that you for that delightful information Sora. I'll see later, yes?" his barely
audible Romanian accent was clear now. I had no idea why, though. What the heck was he thinking?
"Um, yes. Bye Akira." I waved as he headed toward JD's door. When I heard the safe
click of the door closing, I let out the air I was apparently holding in.
"Okay, time to meet Naomi." I resolved. I turned to my door and turned the knob as
slow as possible, trying to hold off the meeting. It happened, eventually of course.
A/N: Woo! Another chapter successfully over! In this chapter, we meet more Humanoids and Akira,
JD's mysterious manager that had to drag her off the fat principal. Yes, many of my characters are
mixed races, except Sora and her brothers. JD is half-British from her dad, half-Japanese. Akira's last
name is Dragonste, meaning "love" in Romanian, making Akira half-Romanian from his father's side.
So, yes I did make up Naomi Miwa, because I didn't have enough characters. She will be introduced in
the next chapter, along with food, the game and TV rooms, and schedules! Plus, the Vocaloids come in
and we get to meet all the OC's I haven't aded because they were not on the Humanoid tour. Like son
guy characters! And or first glimpses at love interests! Whoop!
Remember to R&R, PM me questions, and eat lots of Ramen!
Peace, Love, Chocolate chip Cookies,
JD
