Chapter 4 - The last secret.
"Find someone else to trick."
After I said that to her last week, she stopped talking to me. Whenever I was near, she would look at me, and then we would ignore each other. And she doesn't just look at me normally. There's some kind of "sadness" in her stare, and she looked somehow unsure. She didn't seem angry at all. Though that may be a part of her scheme or what ever she is planning.
Hopefully, she'll stop soon. She annoys me. Watching me with those eyes, it's annoying. Do I have to dissapear first for her to feel safe, with me knowing her secret? I don't even care about her secret. I should probably tell her. Maybe she'll even let me see her true colors. I've been wondering just what she was up to.
As school ended, Hatsune nearly dashed out the door. I ran out right after her, and quickly caught up, and lightly grabbed her arm to stop her.
"Hey, Hatsune, when is your next day off from work?" I quietly asked her as I let go of her hand. She looked up at me, surprised.
"I still have some time left before work," she sais, not removing her stare.
We went up to the roof, the most clichè place at a high school, used in every single high school romance series. Also the place were most people wont hear you, atleast in this school.
We stood not far from the fence around the roof, a few meters apart.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" Hatsune asked.
"Hatsune," I started, looking coldly over at her. "You can stop this now. I don't care about the secret, I barely even knew who that idol was until a few days before I found out. I don't even like your music. And even if I tell, no one will believe me. So stop." I didn't show the slightest emotion as I said that. Hatsune was startled by what I said.
"Wh-what are you talking about?" She started, her eyes looking tearful. "Stop what? I stopped bothering you," her voice started to fade away. "Right?" She muttered. I could barely hear her.
"I don't want to see you, honestly. I can't force you out of school, so that's okay, but I've seen you, staring at me whenever we crossed, with tearful eyes. Stop that." I started to lose my temper, seeing her fake tears as she tries to "hold back".
"Now, just forget me and go back to creating meaningless music, and being two-faced as always. Unless you can actually be one person." I said right before I started walking away. I don't want to do stuff like that annymore. It's a bother.
"Hey, Len, have you seen Hatsune?" Meito asked as I sat down by my desk at the start of the day. "What about her?" I honestly didn't care.
"Well, she hasn't been coming to school lately, and I thought you might know something, it looked like you two really hit it off at the concert" I clenched my teeth, trying to hold my temper.
"There is nothing between us. We just talked a little. Besides, it was mostly you two that talked together." I calmly said. He became silent and went back to his own seat as the class was about to begin.
It's just been 4 days since we talked on the roof, and Hatsune hasn't showed up at school since. Maybe she wants to transfer to keep her secret safe? Well, at least she wont bother me now.
-Narrator P.O.V.-
In an other part of town, there's a house. It's quite big, looks like it's the property of a wealthy family. In one of the rooms, you could hear light sobbing for a while, then it stopped. There were teal hair spread out over the big bed, and a girl was lying there, her eyes all red from crying. She wiped her eyes, and slowly, she got up from her bed. She went over to her dresser, and picked up some colored contacts and a pair of plain glasses. She turned to head for the bathroom, but stopped, and put it back. She headed for her closet, and picked out a special outfit, and smiled sadly.
Then, not long after class had started, something happened. Long, teal hair in pigtails, reaching the waist. Sparkling blue-green eyes. A well known figure walked down the halls, in her signature outfit of a gray shirt, with a hint of metallic color, a black skirt with a line at the bottom in the same color as her hair. Long boots reaching her legs, all in black, except for the top of the boots, and the bottom, also in the signature teal color. She also had her arm accesories on, also in teal and black. She even had on her headphones, that was usually only used at concerts.
It was her. Miku. Miku-Miku, the schools favorite idol. Even the teachers loved her. She walked carefree through the halls, greeting the few people who still walked through the halls, just like she would have greeted her friends. She headed for the classroom where she belonged. She went in to the class thad had just started the next lesson. She went over to the teacher as all eyes were on her. "I'm sorry I'm late," she said to the teacher with a smile as she handed over her homework. The teacher was speachless, and he even blushed at the sight of the idol. "Do you mind if I borrowed one of my classmates for a while?" The teacher was still flustered. "I-i don't mind. I don't mind at all," he started, starstruck. "B-but you're n-not a student here. W-why the homework, a-and.." It seemed like he lost his words. Hatsune, no, Miku-Miku smiled. "Can't you even remember your own student?" She teasingly started. "I'm Hatsune. Miku Hatsune" The whole class has shocked. She just stood there and smiled. "Len. Can I borrow Len Kagamine for a little while?" The class was even more shocked. Some of the students swore in a low voice, not pleased with who she wanted to borrow. Len was also surprised. The teacher noddded, not wanting to make her sad. Len tried to object, but was almost forced to go with her. "Shall we go?" She smiled and took his hand.
-Len's P.O.V-
She dragged me out of the classroom, not letting go of my hand. She almost ran, with me hanging after her. After running for a while, she stopped. She stopped in front of a room, and opened the door. It was one of the music rooms, the one that was used the least. She dragged me in, and went over to the window. She looked out the window for a little while.
"What's the meanin-" He started, but was interrupted by the idol. "Sorry," she started. "It seems I couldn't meet your expectations," she sadly smiled. "I'm sorry you got so angry because of me," she leaned her elbows on the window sill. "I'm sorry. You might be right. I am two-faced," she paused, and turned around. "Is what I would have said before, but it's wrong. I am me. I am both Miku-Miku, the idol, and Hatsune, the quiet school girl. Both is me, they are both different sides of me," She took my hand once again, and dragged me over to the window, and we both sat down on the ground.
"I don't understand you. Why all this?" I asked, still a little unsure about her.
"I was afraid. I was afraid people wasn't going to like me, but I wanted to be real as an idol. So I started wearing a wig, colored contacts and glasses when I was at school. I was a coward. But not anymore. That's why I came like this today, I wanted to show you. I wanted to show you that I am one person. And," she hesitated a little. I was a little puzzled, but I didn't doubt her anymore. Hatsune looked over at me and smiled. "Do you believe me?" She asked.
"Yes, I believe you," I answered. "And, I'm sorry," I turned away from her look. "I jugded you before I knew you. I was shocked, that the one person I.." I stopped. I'm not sure if I should tell her that I liked her. "Nevermind. But, will you forgive me?" He asked. "I understand if you won't, but..." Hatsune's face lit up. "Of course!" She smiled. "Will you give me another chance, too?" She asked. I nodded, and smiled. Suddenly, I heard a comforting sound. It was her voice. She started to sing. It was a nice song, and she had a wonderful voice. Why hadn't I notices before? I was still, and listened to her song.
"What do you think?" She asked as she had stopped singing. I was surprised at the sudden question. "It was good. No, it was really, really, wonderful," I said. It was maybe the best I had ever heard. "Really?" she smiled. She really smiles a lot, I thought as I also smiled.
"That was my secret song. No one has ever heard it, not even my manager, my brother," She looked at me for a few seconds, and turned her head away.
"I also have one last secret. Will you hear me out?"
"Sure," I said. She looked flustered.
"I... I.." She started. "I was glad you discovered my secret. I-I..." I was surprised. "Hatsune..." I said, puzzled. "I was, no, I am in love with you, Len. And, you can call me Miku." She said as she grabbed my hand, gently squeezing it. I couldn't believe what was happening.
"I.. Hatsune, no, Miku... I too..." I felt my face heat up.
"I also like you, Miku."
A\N: Well, I guess that's the end of Secret Song. I hope that you, the person reading this, if you are there, enjoyed this. But if you liked this, someday, in the future, I shall write more. And I shall write more Miku x Len. (read those two sentences in an overdramatic voice)
