Miku's P.O.V

Mmmm… such a nice feeling bed… I could almost… WAIT A MOMENT. My bed was hard as a rock, since my lousy mother was too mean buy me an actual bed. And what was that in in my hand? Warm and soft….

I opened my eyes to see that I was in a blue room, literally. The walls, ceilings, bedsheets, everything. Why was I here? I looked under the covers to see I was wearing oversized clothing. Who changed my clothes? Finally, I looked to see right next to the bed was a sleeping Kaito. His hand was wrapped tightly around mine, mine around his. I screamed.

"WAH!" Kaito screamed back. "…The heck? Miku why did you just scream?"

"H-Hatunse-san to you, mister. Why am in your bed? With clothing that isn't mine? And, why are we holding hands? Did… did… EW! NONONO! I'M 16!"

"Um… Hatsune-san? Do you remember last night? At all?" I blinked twice, and thought hard.

"I remember you giving me a piggyback ride home… and someone carrying me upstairs, but that's it," I said. That truthfully was all that I remember.

"Well, I had a neighbor change you, first of all. My parents weren't home till like… ten last night. Possibly later. Second, you were having a nightmare, and I was trying to calm you down. You wouldn't let go of my hand, so I slept on the floor. I figured that in the bed would be too… yeah…." I blushed. I wouldn't let go of his hand? I realized that we were still holding hands, so I quickly let go. But… Kaito was a gentleman.

Then panic overtook me. I spent the night here? That meant that my mother and her boyfriend (I refused to call him father, or anything of the sort) would realize that I was missing all night. I sighed. I should have went straight home. "Mik—Hatsune-san, you okay?"

"It's just my mother and her boyfriend… anyways, thanks for everything you have done for me. I have nothing to give in return, but if you need something, just tell me," I said.

"I don't want anything, Hatsune-san."

"You sure? Cause I would feel terrible, making you sleep on the floor and all."

"Hmm… may I call you 'Miku'? And you call me 'Kaito' in return?" I nodded. "Okay then, Miku! My mother is making breakfast, and it's exactly 7:30, so we have an hour and half before we have to be in school. Yesterday I put your uniform in the wash, so it should be down. Er, come down when you are ready, I guess. I'll go down first." Kaito left the room and I got up and went to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror to see Kaito had already put bandages over all of my fresh bruises and such.

I went downstairs to see two energetic people making breakfast while Kaito was eating some ice cream. I blinked. It was such a happy looking scene, something that I had only experienced at home when my father was still alive. Suddenly, all movement stopped when the two adults (Kaito's parents) saw me. They gaped at me, and I could tell that they were staring at two things—my unusual hair color, and my wounds and bandages.

The lady recovered first. "My name is Kaiko Shion, and this is Meito Shion, Kaito's father." (A/N: Usually a KaikoxMikuo fan, but I'm using Mikuo for something else, so KaikoxMeito it is!)

"Hatsune Miku," I said. The lady, Kaiko, smiled at me, but I felt a bit awkward. "Er… sorry for all of the trouble I've caused. I will leave as soon as I get my uniform," I said. I could tell that they were still staring at me.

"Nonsense! Stay for breakfast, and then you can leave to go to your house and pick up whatever you need for school. Kaito will go with you," Meito said brightly. Kaiko nodded her head.

"Thank you," I whispered. They were such nice people. I had only known them for a few minutes, and I already liked them more than my whole 'family' combine. I slowly walked down, not really sure what I was supposed to do. Should I help them? Sit next to Kaito? I didn't want to seem rude.

"You can go sit down, hon," Kaiko said as if reading my mind. "Breakfast is almost ready." I nodded my head and took my place next to Kaito. I began fidgeting with my hands, not exactly sure at what I was supposed to do. A few minutes later, Meito and Kaiko joined us at the table, and breakfast began.

"So, what do you like to do? Like, extra activities, electives, that sort of thing," Kaiko asked.

"I play violin, and I enjoy singing. I'm also pretty athletic, so I sometimes run track," I replied.

"Really? Could we hear you sing or play sometime?" Meito asked. I blushed, but nodded my head. I couldn't exactly say 'No' to them after everything that they had done. Breakfast ended soon enough, and I changed into my uniform, Kaito into his. We left and made way to my house, which was thankfully on the way to school.

We arrived at my house quickly. Apparently I lived one street down from Kaito. "So… you go in and get it?" Kaito asked. I shook my head, and lead him to the area right bellow my window. I quickly began climbing the tree next to it. Pain exploded throughout my entire body, as I was sore from what my mother had down, and because everything hadn't healed. I winced. "Miku, you alright?" Kaito called from the ground. I just shook my hand without looking down, and continued painfully climbing up.

I reached where my window was to find my mother sitting on my bed, looking pissed. Al wasn't in the room, thankfully. She saw me, and her expression turned even darker. I looked down. Maybe I could jump down… but I need my stuff for school. I hoped into the room. "Where have you been," my mother hissed. I flinched.

"At a friend's house," I answered.

"Who would want to be friends with you? And don't leave like that again. It looks bad!"

"I have some friends, thank you. Why do you care? If I recall, you were too busy having sex with Al—"

"Say 'Father.' He is your father now, and that is what you will call him."

"Sure, Ann," I said sarcastically. She had crossed the line by telling me to say that. "Like hell I would ever say that. My only father is Mikuo Ha—"

She proceeded to cut me off by slapping me. "Don't say his name. He was a terrible man."

"You're so freaking messed up!" I shouted. Another slap. I gasped. That hurt a lot.

"Don't you say that, either, missy. You should be glad—"

"That you beat me up every day? Neglect you? Lock me in dark places for possible days on end?" I wasn't exaggerating. "Well, thank you," I mocked. Lots of anger was flowing in me, and I was practically screaming.

"That pain was for your own good," my mother yelled.

"…Right. Did I say that you are messed up already? Cause you seriously are." This time she punched my stomach. I winced, and doubled over. When my mother was in the acting business, she apparently learned how to fight. Really well. "You won't go any farther," I challenged.

"And why wouldn't I?"

"Because I have to go to school. And, I don't have time to cover them up, which would cause questions. Same with if I arrived with a bunch of bruises on my face."

"Oh yeah? What if I called you in sick? Then you will have plenty of time." I saw that she was dead serious. I also saw that my backpack and violin were 2 feet to the right of me.

I grabbed them, and ran. "KAITO, CATCH!" I screamed, and threw them both out of the window. Oh, pleasepleaseplease let him catch my violin. Please let it be okay. That was my father's. "Where do you thi—" Ann asked, but I ran straight towards the window, and jumped out. I knew that she wouldn't follow, cause she would think that she would break a nail somehow. Stupid coward.

I landed… in Kaito's arms. My violin was on his right side, backpack on left. They both looked unharmed. My face must have been bright red. How the hell was that possible? "U-U-Uh… you can let me down," I stuttered. He blinked, and let me down. "Now, RUN!" I said, and we both began spiriting towards the school. After we were a street or two away, I slowed down to a walk, Kaito doing the same.

"What was that about?" Oh… the questions. Joy. I shrugged.

"I like jumping out of windows, and then running away from my perfectly normal house?" Complete lie, and I could tell that he could tell that it was one. "Anyways, thanks for everything. I promise that I won't bother you again, Kaito."

"…What if I like being bothered? Or, at least bothered by you." I blushed slightly, and shrugged my shoulders. I think it was around this time that I began to trust Kaito a lot more than anyone else.

End of Chapter 4! Ending was weird, and I thought about saying that Miku began liking Kaito, but she's known him for like... three days. And, sorry, but I'm not one for the whole 'You do one nice thing, and I'm suddenly madly in love with you.' No offense to those who like that.

...review please?
