Author's notes: Aaah, thank you so much for the reviews, guys! Every review makes this trap happy, and I hope you continue reading, even if this isn't a Ritsu story (Which, by the way, he and the other VIPPERs will be appearing in this story sometime soon; it'll be a few chapters).
Anyways, not too proud of this one and I'm going to blame the fact that I am terribly under the weather. I tend to write when I'm sick buuut I usually end up sucking at the end.

Oh well, enjoy anyways!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Vocaloids or UTAUs presented in this story, I only own the story. With that said, enjoy~!

Once Miki took a step outside onto the snow-covered ground, the violent winds blew through her skin, causing the young female to shiver violently. She began to run, hoping that the running would help keep her warm. She really should have grabbed a coat, but she was way too mad to even think about getting one. The SF-A2 Vocaloid wiped her eyes and touched her cheek, the same place where Piko's hand was. No one, besides Yuki, ever tried to dry her tears when she was upset.

It was... Comforting, but she still hated him with a burning passion.

Miki sighed and slowed her pace down. She could still see the mansion but barely. The red head checked her watch. It usually takes about ten minutes to get to where she was standing from the mansion. "Thirty minutes... That's all I need to make a decision..." She had to make a choice - to either stay and live with the tormenting or simply uninstall herself and let everyone forget about her.

She continued to walk, fighting the cold that ran through her entire body.

Piko managed to sneak around the front without any of the others noticing.

Although, he began to sprint when he heard Miku's screams echo off of the walls. Damn, she did have a set of lungs. Piko clutched onto the extra jacket while fixing the striped one he wore in the process. He had to find Miki; no one else would look for it it seemed. They didn't really care, did they?

Why?

Ever since he got here, no one told him anything. How dare they treat him like he was some child, or at least it seemed like they were treating him like one. The white haired boy dragged the USB cable behind him as his ahoge bounced with every step he took.

How dare they not look for Miki? She was a Vocaloid too, right?

Len had told Piko that not everyone in the mansion was friendly, but the newcomer had no idea they were this cruel. They weren't like this all the time, right? It was disgusting. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He shook his head and continued to increase his pace.

He had to find Miki.

It was his fault why she left.

"Master, both SF-A2 Miki and Utatane Piko are gone." The older male, the only human, turned to see Taito Shion in the doorway. The Master looked over at Miku, who was standing next to Taito, crying about how it was all her fault why Piko left. Yuki stood nearby as well, trying to munch on a red apple, but she sighed and threw it away; she just wasn't hungry for one, even if her stomach felt empty.

All of the other VOCALOIDS were in the lobby, talking loudly about the situation until the Master hushed them down, "Everyone, we all must remain calm. I know you're all worried about Project SF-A2 and Project Utatane, but they will come back safe and sound." His voice was kind and quiet.

Kagamine Rin raised her hand, "Shouldn't we, like, conduct a search party or something like that?"

The caretaker was silent, lost in thought. He could easily send an away team to search for them, but... Perhaps this would be a good chance for everyone to experience something they never experienced before. He simply said, "If they're not back by December 8, twelve AM, which is only in a few hours we shall got search for them. Until then, please rest for now; we have a long day ahead of us."

Now, the Vocaloids were asking questions one b one, but he refused to answer anything, "I will explain everything soon. Now, go rest as I said."

The remaining Vocaloids left to their rooms, but Nekomura Iroha stayed put. She glanced at the master and walked up to him, a concern look on her face. "Master, why are we not searching for Miki-chan and Piko-tan?"

He seemed to smile at her question, "I want everyone, not just Miki and Piko, to learn something today. I may be their master, but I am certainly not going to hand them everything. That is an inhumane thing to do, Iroha. I promise you that they will be OK."

"Now," he continued, "Contact SONY. Tell them I will be meeting with them in thirty minutes. If they refuse the first time, tell them it is important that I speak with them. Refuse the second; tell them it's about Utatane."

Iroha did not question her Master. She simply nodded and went to the telephone.

A chill passed through Miki's body once again as she checked her watch. It was twenty-minutes since we last saw our unusual heroine, if you would call her that. A violent storm began to happen, causing Miki to be partially blind. Though she was a Christmas-loid, the Vocaloid's one true weakness was the cold. If she were to be outside for more than three hours...

She didn't want to think about it. Miki tried to make her way back, but she kept getting spun around, lost and confused. Suddenly, she felt something warm drape onto her shoulders, making her jump and spin around.

Utatane Piko was behind her. Miki opened her mouth to say something, but felt her not-so-bare-shoulders. Over her once bared shoulders was a coat. It wasn't a heavy coat, but it kept her a bit warm for the most part. She looked back at Piko and glared at him, "Why are you here?" The blizzard made it hard to hear each other. Piko blinked before answering the female.

"I came to find you!"

Miki blinked in confusion, but glared again, "Who sent you?"

"No one, I snuck out!"

Again, she blinked. Not a lot of the Vocaloids snuck out; it was mostly the Haganes and Zatsune's crew that did. Miki never expected Piko to sneak out, ever. The female shivered as she looked around, "I sense a bigger storm happening." She whispered to herself.

The storm picked up, causing Miki to cling to Piko's jacket. He blinked in return, but held Miki to his body as the heavy storm lifted them from their spot, literally throwing them around.

The AHS-loid gasped and blacked out before she hit the ground.

She was only out for a good five minutes, but to her it seemed longer. What she woke up to were two soft but cold hands on her cheeks, making her sit up and look around. Her eyes soon gazed into Piko's cyan blue eyes.

"Miki, are you OK?" His voice was filled with sincere concern as Miki dusted herself off, "Yeah, I'm OK." She rubbed her head; now she really had no idea where they were. They were truly...

Lost.

The AHS-loid stood up and glanced at her watch. It was almost an hour since she last left the mansion. "We need to find town. We can pick up supplies and camp out in a shop or two until the storm dies down." She looked around again, "The powerlines are probably down." She whispered.

"How do you know?" Piko asked and Miki blinked, "It's something I can sense." She told him, and said no more as she began to walk with him following her.

All they had were each other.

It seemed like hours, but in reality it was only twenty minutes since they began their walk to find town. Piko felt a soft shiver run through his body; Sony had made him slightly immune to the cold, but he could still feel it. Miki glanced at him before sighing.

"I hate silence," she stated.

"I do too." Piko's voice was soft as he agreed with her.

"Really?" This surprised her, "But you're always so..."

"Quiet?" She nodded at the male as soon as he said that. He chuckled lightly, "Well, why should I waste my voice on people who don't really care about what I say?" Miki laughed softly and Piko smiled softly at her. Another ten minutes passed by and the female was about to give up until she saw a few lights in the distance. She grabbed Piko's hand and hurried towards the lights before Piko pointed straight ahead.

"The city!" Both of them said it in unison as they raced towards the lights.

Hope was not lost yet.

The ending of this chapter = crap. OTL
