I am so sorry... the day I was gonna post this, my laptop broke m(_ _)m Thankfully, just today, my laptop got fixed and came back all repaired, so yay! However, school has become a bigger focus to me than my fanfics at the moment, so I can no longer promise uploading this every Monday. Now it will be whenever I am able to type the next chapter. Thank you so much for being patient, and I hope you enjoy this chapter.

~Chapter 4~

When she took her daughter out of the car to the hospital, Meiko took a glance at Miku's hands. There was something unusual, Meiko could tell, but she ignored it. Taking Miku, the woman helped her to the hospital where Miku was treated. As Miku sat out in the lobby with a bandage on her face, Meiko spoke privately to the doctor, Camui Gakupo.

"There are no damages to the bones," Gakupo explained to Meiko. "There are only scratches on the skin."

Meiko nodded in relief, but she spoke her true feelings out. "Doctor, there is something I am very worried about," she began to tell her worries. "Usually, when someone falls, they will naturally use their hands to try and break their fall. Right?"

"Yes."

"But my daughter has no scratches on her hands, as her face fell straight to the ground."

"Eh?"

"That's strange, right?" After speaking this, Meiko continued to speak of the things she had notice the past few weeks. "Recently, Miku is always dropping things, and she can't hold her chopsticks properly."

Listening closely, Gakupo began to write in his reports. "How about we have a check up right now, so we can see if there is anything going on in her body?"

"That would be great," Meiko sighed in relief. After several minutes, Meiko returned to the lobby where Miku was waiting, "Hey, Miku, how about we have a check up?"

"Right now?" Miku asked.

"Right now," Meiko answered.

"How about school?"

"You can miss it for one day, just please have this check up for your mother."

"Okay."

Together, the two walked back into Gakupo's office, where Miku took her check up.

"When did you start feeling like you couldn't walk steadily?" He asked.

"Around a month ago, I believe," Miku answered. "Perhaps I'm not getting enough sleep," she commented.

"What about falling down?"

"On the day of the entrance exam, I fell twice, but I don't think that's a problem."

"Do you have any speaking difficulties?"

Miku shook her head. "No."

After answering his questions, Miku was given physical tests to see how well balanced she was. She walked back and forth. She stood on one foot. She practiced placing her finger to Dr. Camui's finger and her nose back and forth. Finally, Miku's brain was scanned. Soon, everything was over.

"We will inform you of the results of the check up in several days," Gakupo told the women.

"Okay," Meiko nodded.

"Is there something wrong with me?" Miku asked.

"Every day, I want you to write everything down."

"I can do that," Miku answered. "I write in my journal all the time."

"Perfect," Gakupo commented. "Write down things you feel aren't right about yourself."

"I understand," Miku told him. "I'll write everyday, write the things that are wrong."

"What happened?"

Hearing her sister, Lapis pulls Kokone away, taking her to a corner where no one was around.

"Remember ten years ago, when Miku fell?" Lapis ask her sister.

"I remember," Kokone answers, recalling the event ten years ago.

"Do you recall how Miku's hands were like at the time?"

"Miku's hands," Kokone tries to remember. "There wasn't a single scratch on them."

"That's right," Lapis tells her. "The same thing happened to Kagamine-san." Kokone's eyes widen in shock. "Right now, his mother is speaking to Dr. Camui. You remember him, right?" Kokone nods. "Looks like we're going to give the boy a check up to see if he is okay."

"I sure hope everything is okay," Kokone responds to her. "It'd be bad if Kagamine-san is ill."

Lapis nods. "Will you make it to school on time." Kokone nods. "I'll see you later."

"Okay," Kokone turns to leave. "Goodbye, Lapis-nee," she bid farewell, and Kokone walks down the stairs when Lapis calls for her.

"Thank you for helping me!"

Kokone waves her hand, hearing her, and she left the building.

It seems Len was out for the entire day of school. Kokone notice his absence throughout the day after she had arrived to school. Thankfully, this day had become peaceful to her. She was able to relax with her friends.

The next day, Len return to school with the bandage on this face. Many of his friends asks him about his wound, and Len honestly tells them all he fell. He also tells his friends of his cute doctor, but he leaves out the fact that she is the older sister of Kokone. When Gumi and Miki hears about the cute doctor, Kokone tells them immediately.

"That cute doctor he saw yesterday is my sister," Kokone boldly informs them.

"Oh really?" Miki asks.

"Does he know that?" Gumi questions.

"Of course he does," Kokone answers. "He was so shocked when I went over yesterday to give a document to my sister, and she called me her cute little sister. It was funny seeing his face."

"Hey, Hatsune-san," a voice rings out, calling for her. Kokone turns and Galaco stood there with her two friend. "I hope you don't drop your lunch on poor Len-kun. I'm sure he got his face bruise because of your clumsiness," she laughs and mocks Kokone. Her friends snicker along and they all went away.

Miki sighs. "It was an accident."

"That Kagamine brat really isn't letting this go," Gumi comments.

"It doesn't matter," Kokone tells them.

"How does this not bother you, Kokone-chan?" Gumi wonders. "If it was me, I'd beat them up."

"Then we'd get in trouble," Miki laughs.

As her friends continue to talk to each other, Kokone turns to where Len was at. He was conversing with his friends, and Galaco and her friends joins them. Len and Galaco were chatting happily about unknown subjects. Then the group of friends chose to leave the classroom to hang out somewhere. Len walks with them, but unexpectedly, he walks straight into a desk.

"Are you okay?" Someone asks.

"It's nothing," Len laughs. "Sometimes, things like this happens." With that, they all walk away.

"Hey," Kokone got her friends' attention. "They tease me for being a klutz, but it seems that Kagamine-san is clumsier than me," she tells them.

"I noticed that too," Miki adds. "He's walking into walls and desks, and he did fell yesterday."

"How ironic," Gumi snickers a bit. "He has people teasing Kokone for what happened at lunch that day, yet he can't even control his own footing." Gumi and Miki laugh at the former's statement. Kokone sat in her desk, book in her hand, wondering about Len.

"Don't you think his clumsiness is a little unusual?" Kokone asks her friends.

"Eh? How so?" Gumi questions back.

"I don't see anything wrong with it," Miki answers.

"I see," Kokone remarks.

"Hey, are you worried about Kagamine-san?" Miki questions her.

"Eh, you shouldn't worry about a guy like that," Gumi scolds Kokone. "He's having people come and harass you. He's bad news."

"I'm not worried," Kokone smiles and reassures her friends. "I'm just wondering," she said honestly.

'Afterall, when he fell, there were no marks on his hands.'

Several days went by. Everything seemingly went back to normal.

Seemingly, of course, because Kokone kept wondering about Len. Her friends didn't notice, but Kokone did. There was something off about him. For a start, Len's walking was unstable. When Kokone saw him with his friends, she notices that his footing was rather awkward compared to the others. Just yesterday, Kokone caught Len falling to the ground again. Thankfully, he wasn't hurt like last time, as his friends caught him and asked if he was okay.

"What a klutz," Gumi comment as she witness the scene.

"Poor guy," Miki sarcastically remark as she watch too.

Then, Kokone saw that Len had difficulties positioning himself and objects. Two days prior, Kokone had arrived to school and went to change her shoes. She caught the sight of Len, closing his locker and grabbing his bag. However, when he went to grab it, it seems he had thought he was close to the handle, so his closed to air, right above the handle of his bag.

Next, Kokone was tasked by her teacher to give her the tests the students Kokone did so, the first test on top was Len's. As she briefly glance at it, Kokone saw his handwriting. It seemed Len had a hard time writing properly. Kokone didn't mean to look at his answers, but she saw that half of them appeared to be as if Len struggled to write them properly.

Kokone couldn't help but think about it. She kept thinking of Len, even when her friends told her to forget about him. This was all the same thing that had happened ten years before. Kokone continue to wonder, but then she would deny it. It couldn't be. It just can't be it.

After school, Kokone grab her bag and pulls out her cell phone. Checking, she saw that she has one text message from her sister Lapis.

"Please come see me immediately when you can. I have news regarding your classmate, Kagamine Len."

"Kokone-chan," Miki calls out to her. "Are you ready to go?" she asks.

"I want to try out the new meal the diner has," Gumi comments.

"I'm sorry," Kokone apologizes. "But my sister needs me. She says it's urgent."

"Oh," Miki says. "It's okay."

"We can hang out another time," Gumi tells her. "Go to your sister."

"Thank you," Kokone told them. "Goodbye!" She bid farewell to her two friends as she left the school.

It took only twenty minutes for her to reach the hospital where Lapis was at, the same place where Kokone saw Len several days before. Reaching it, Kokone went straight to her sister's office, next to Dr. Camui's office. She knocks the door.

"Enter," a soft voice calls out. Kokone enters and she saw her sister sitting at her desk. "Oh, Kokone, close the door, this is important." Closing the door behind her, Kokone went to the desk.

"What's wrong?" Kokone asks as she sat down. "Everything is okay with Kagamine-san, right?"

"Well," Lapis pauses after speaking, and Kokone saw Lapis biting her lip. "This is important, which is why I called you out here. I want you to listen closely, okay." Kokone nods.

"Kokone," Lapis begins to inform her sister. "It seems that Kagamine-san…"

Miku-nee

It's really strange, but that boy that has been bothering me, Kagamine-san…

Well, his movements are strange. Like, extremely weird. His footing is awkward, his handwriting is bad, his grip on items is terrible.

I was a little worried at first, but then I went to talk to Lapis-nee.

Now I'm really worried.

It seems Kagamine Len was chosen by that strange disease. You know, the disease that chose you ten years ago.

What should I do?

AN: I know Rin hasn't made an appearance yet, but she will appear soon. Now, expect unhappy things to happen, since, well... you'll see. Thank you for reading, and please review!
