Meiko was finally dressed up, and so was Kaito. Kaito hid behind the corner of the door to Meiko's bedroom, worried that he might do something perverted on accident again. He was wearing yet again a blue T-shirt and khaki shorts.

"So, what did you get dressed in?" Kaito asked before turning the corner to find Meiko.

"Beige shorts and red racerback tee," Meiko said as she let Kaito see her outfit.

"How'd you get your tail so well hidden?" Kaito asked.

"I actually didn't." Meiko replied, showing her tail flattened up to her leg. "I need help tucking it in."

"Okay, what do I need to do?" Kaito asked.

"Stop asking questions!" Meiko replied. "It's hard not having my ribbon or my dresses for a casual day."

"Here, maybe if you just wrap it around," Kaito suggested, tucking the tail inside her shorts.

"Thanks, pervert," Meiko both hissed and thanked.

"That's not perverted! I was just putting your tail away!" Kaito protested.

"Now that just makes it more perverted." Meiko replied, facepalming.

"Here, we're going out." Kaito said, yanking Meiko's arm and running through the front door.

"What the hell?! I never agreed on going out with you! You didn't say anything about me being your new girlfriend!" Meiko ranted.

"I meant going outside. We're going to see a friend of mine." Kaito explained bluntly.

The sun was shining that Sunday, not a cloud in the bright blue sky. Meiko had sharp eyes on, making sure she didn't hit another pole. Kaito explained on the way to meet his friend that his name was Gakupo Kamui, and Gakupo had other friends with him. Meiko groaned at the thought of more idiots. That thought made her zone out and hit a pole.

"God damnit! I hate poles!" Meiko hollered after collapsing.

Kaito lift her by her arms. "Looks like you won't be a pole dancer. That ass will come to waste." he said as he smirked.

"Yeah, pervert." Meiko replied sourly. "I see this pole has a sign, not a stripper. Where are we?"

"The place where Gakupo is. Luckily, this place is closed only for us." Kaito explained. "Mikuo Hatsune's bar. Mikuo is dating Haku."

"I heard there's good sake here," Meiko said, recovering from the pole incident.

Kaito opened the doors of the bar to reveal one table filled with some men and a man behind the bar counter. A teal-haired man was wiping out a glass and laughing. There were two blondes, one with banana bangs and laughing, the other with his hair down and looked older. There was a green-haired man, his front strands longer than the back. Finally, there was a purple-haired man whose hair was tied into a long ponytail.

"Kai! I see you brought your girlfriend!" the purple-haired man called.

"She's not my girlfriend!" Kaito replied, blushing.

"God, I hate poles...and asswipes..." Meiko muttered.

"Then who is she?" the teal-haired man asked, joining in.

"Well, she's, well," Kaito tried to say something, though words were choking him.

"He serves me sake and lives with me." Meiko explained. Every man gave her an "oh".

Kaito and Meiko sat across from each other in the booth. "Okay, the teal idiot is Mikuo, the perverted blondes are Len and Leon, though Leon's the old man, the green kid is Gumo, and the purple 'samurai' is Gakupo." Kaito told her. He turned his attention to the guys. "This is Meiko."

Multiple rants were heard from the men. "I am a samurai!" - Gakupo

"I'm not an idiot if I run a popular bar!" - Mikuo

"Not a kid!" - Gumo

"We're not perverts!" - Len and Leon

Meiko sighed and rolled her eyes. "How do you know these idiots?" she asked Kaito.

"We were all on the same baseball team as kids," Kaito explained.

"Awww! How cute!" Meiko replied.

"And you still sound drunk." Kaito said, rolling his eyes.

"What do you guys want?" Mikuo asked impatiently, as if he'd been there for five minutes.

"The lady would like sake." Kaito replied bluntly.

"Okay, I'll go pour it," Mikuo mumbled.

Meiko felt a hand on her thigh and looked up. If she remembered clearly, this was Leon. She guessed he was the bigger pervert. His hand moved under her thigh.

"Stop it, pervert!" Meiko yelled, slapping his hand. "First the idiot, now you!"

"I didn't mean to!" Kaito protested.

"I was naked though! If you hear that I'm getting dressed, you retreat!" Meiko replied.

"I didn't know you were naked!" Kaito retorted.

"Looks like someone did something dirty~" Len sang.

"You're not in this!" Kaito and Meiko screamed at him in unison.

The two kept bickering until Mikuo brought all the drinks to their table. The four men at the table stayed out of the conversation until Leon said something perverted, earning a slap from Meiko.

"Look, I think I can help." Mikuo said. The cat and the bartender went silent. "Say one thing about the other person that doesn't include this morning's happening."

"Meiko, you are really nice for saving those men from Haku killing them the other day." Kaito said. Mikuo's eyebrows raised curiously.

"Kaito, you sleep-cuddle." Meiko said.

"Eh?" Kaito asked nervously.

"You cuddle in your sleep." Meiko repeated.

Kaito blushed. "I do?" he asked.

"Yep."

"What happened?"

"Well, you hugged me and almost kissed me." Meiko replied, her cheeks tinted rose.

Kaito looked down. Meiko started slapping the others for teasing Kaito. Gumo said that they'd make a great couple, earning a hard slap. Leon got perverted, also earning a hard slap.

"You guys must be dating," Gakupo declared. "I mean, you've slept in the same bed and Kai, you've seen her naked. Two and two, Kai. Two and two..."

"We're not dating!" Meiko screamed. "You guys don't know the full story! He moved in because he lost his home to some stupid bank. Then, he slept with me for a stupid reason and I allowed it. Lastly, the naked thing is a whole accident because I don't have towels for multiple reasons!"

"Mei, calm down!" Kaito pleaded, the guys giving him looks of fear.

"Oh fine..." she mumbled, drinking the last of her glass. "But tell these idiots what happens when I'm pissed. I'm pretty sure they don't want to find out."

Meiko felt many emotions. Anger from the men, relive from Mikuo's little counciling session, and a bit of lust (A/N: The source is obvious, though! *wink wink*).

"So, Kaito, why are we here?" Meiko asked calmly.

"Well, why are we here?" Kaito asked Gakupo.

"Len has something stupid to say to us." Gakupo replied. The table (including Mikuo, excluding Len) groaned.

"I'm getting married!" Len announced.

"To who?" Meiko asked.

"Miku Hatsune!" he continued proudly.

"My sister?!" Mikuo screamed, smashing one of the sake bottles on the floor in the process.

"Yep!" he replied.

"I'm gonna kill you, Len Kagamine!" Mikuo hollered, about to go Homer Simpson on Len.

Meiko got up and beat Mikuo to it. She wrapped her hands around his neck and tightened her grip until his face almost turned as blue as his hair.

"Dude, she's the female Darth Vader," Gumo whispered.

Kaito pulled Meiko back and forced her to let go of the bar owner. She sat down. Her amber eyes stared into cerulean, emerald, amethyst, and icy blue eyes. A pair of sea green ones laid on the floor, in terror.

"How do you live with this girl?" Gumo asked, earning yet another slap.

Meiko cleaned up Mikuo's mess (the shattered glass) and dumped it into the trash. A Blacktail report came on, saying the bounty was worth more. Meiko laughed, then seeing the men staring at her.

"Mikuo's fidgeting!" Meiko lied while laughing, pointing at the young bar owner.

"Sadist!" Gumo yelled.

Meiko sent him a glare of murder, her amber eyes almost burning. Gumo quickly looked away in fear. Meiko calmed herself down, then helped the bar owner up.

"Sorry for almost killing you," she told Mikuo. "You're a lot like your girlfriend."

Mikuo brushed off his shoulders, then stepped back behind the bar counter. Meiko sat back in the booth and started to talk with the guys.

"You know, you and Kaito are made for each other." Gumo said.

"You're testing my patience," Meiko growled through gritted teeth. Gumo stopped.

"But seriously, you guys should go on a date!" Len teased.

"We're just friends!" Kaito protested, probably for the fifteenth time that afternoon.

"Admit it," Gakupo said, then whispered into his ear. Kaito turned as red as a tomato after Gakupo stopped whispering to him.

"No!" Kaito replied.

"Kai, just do it." Gakupo dared.

"I said no!" Kaito retorted.

"C'mon!" Leon joined in.

"Did you not hear me, old man?" Kaito asked.

"I'm not old!" Leon protested.

"Yes you are, geezer." everyone said in unison.

"Here, Meiko," Mikuo said, grabbing Meiko's arm and taking her behind the counter. "They just need to talk about something important, and I don't think you'd be happy hearing it."

Meiko turned pale. "That idiot would tell them...I hope he isn't..." she muttered.

Screaming was heard from Kaito. "Pervert! Why would you ever say that?!"

Gumo said something, then Kaito said, "Oh, fine. But if it goes uncontrollably wrong, you're to blame."

Mikuo let Meiko free. Kaito took a deep breath. "Mei, how would you like to go on a date with me?"


VocaloidWriter: Cliffhanger? Maybe. So, I'm having this really long and funny conversation with TurtleCat through PM. IT IS HILARIOUS. Anyways, Kaito asked Meiko on a date! Will she say yes, or no? Let's reply to reviews now!

Children of Light: Conflict had to be made, plus he was getting onto her. But the first time (the fall), Kaito didn't mean to. It was just supposed to be a simple shocker (minus the shocker). As for this chapter, it's a different story...

So next chapter will be a bit of a filler. Sorry, my babies! (Did I really just write that? DID I REALLY JUST WRITE THAT? It sounds awkward for the first time, let me tell you.) RnR!
