Easy as Cherry Pie and Tuna Rolls
Life on Earth has changed as we know it. Music and any form of art has become illegal, and the Vocaloids are on the run to prevent from going jail. But will they be able to prevent their feelings from getting in the way? And how will the new girl help love prevail?
Chapter 5: Slight Knowledge
The man was running.
Crap! he thought, but he didn't stop running. He couldn't stop running. If he did, they would catch. They would try to kill him, or worse, change him. Make him forget everything. He didn't want that. He may have escaped before, but he didn't think he could do it again.
"Stop! You're under arrest!" one of them yelled. The man ignored him, continuing to run despite the slowly growing ache in his legs and the white hair blowing into his eyes. But he couldn't stop.
Suddenly, they were in front of him. Behind him. He turned to the right, the left, but they were everywhere. He was trapped.
"Put down your hood! Put your hands up where we can see them!"
The man reluctantly did as he was told, letting hos dark hood fall away from his face, revealing his oddly colored eyes and white hair. The odd C on his head sprang up in sync with his pale arms.
"You are under arrest," one man called. "Piko Utatane."
A pair of blue eyes flashed open in a dark room. A hand extended above Lily's hand as she tried to reach Piko, her true love, even though he only exists in her mind now. He is no longer with her, or the rest of the world.
"Lily?" a voice asked beside her. Said woman let her arm flop to her side and turned to face her best friend. When she met Luka's eyes, she burst into tears.
"Lily? Are you okay?" Luka asked, pulling the blonde closer to her.
"I – I miss him," Lily replied, choking on her tears. Luka immediately understood what her friend was talking about.
"I know, dear. I know you do."
"I… I had a dream… he was still alive, and he was being chased by the police! It hurts, Luka, to know that he's gone, and that one day, all of us will be, too."
Luka stared at Lily for a moment, contemplating.
"Lily…"
"What is it, Luka? Do you know something?" Lily looked up at the pinkette eagerly.
"Well… yes… but…"
"No buts! Tell me, tell me!" Lily begged. She was desperate for anything that would let her know about Piko.
"Lily…"
"Luka!"
Said woman sighed. "Okay, fine, I'll tell you. Piko… he isn't dead."
"What?" Lily sat up, startled by the news. "How long have you known this?"
"A couple of days…"
"And you didn't tell me earlier?" Lily demanded angrily.
"Well… he did tell us not to…"
"Wait a second… you've seen him? Is he well? How did he escape? Wait another second… who's 'we'? Who else knows?" Lily leaned towards Luka suspiciously.
"Uh…" Luka leaned back, trying to avoid her friends' stare. "That is…"
"Who else knows?" Lily demanded.
"Um… slip of the tongue..?" Luka replied hesitantly.
"Luka. Do I have to scream?" Lily threatened, taking a deep breath and preparing to do as much.
"Okay, okay! I'll tell you!" Luka replied, throwing her hand over Lily's mouth. "Len, Rin and Miki know. As far a I can tell, that is all."
"Oh."
"Let's go back to sleep, Lil," Luka said, rolling over. "Sweet dreams."
"Yeah…" Lily replied, rolling onto her side. She was still confused, though. How could Piko possibly be alive?
And how come Luka hadn't told her until now?
Piko stared at the man from inside his jail cell miserably. This was the last place he wanted to be, and this was the last person he wanted to see.
"Piko Utatane. Long time no see," the man spoke.
"What do you want?" Piko demanded.
"Ah! He speaks!" the man laughs.
"You're supposed to say that if I haven't spoken for a very long time, even if you have, baka," Piko snarled.
"Indeed," the man replied. He had greasy greeny-brown hair and foul breath. His eyes were impossible to see due to the hideous, small framed glasses covering them.
"Then why did you say it?" Piko asked, raising a white eyebrow.
"Why not?" the man laughed cruelly.
"Ivigi-san," a voice called at the same time as a knock sounded at the door.
"Come in!" the man, Ivigi Syoko, called.
The door opened, and Piko stared at the woman who had once been a fellow Vocaloid, at Meiko, and an Original. He had barely known her, had barely been alive, when the world had been thrown to turmoil, when the election happened, and the new government had risen up. She had been one of the first Vocaloids to be captured, to be "killed". And she had been killed. Her body was intact, but in her mind, she was a completely different person. She had no idea who she used to be.
"Meiko…" Piko murmured quietly. He knew the despair that Kaito, her boyfriend had gone through when she disappeared. It was at that time that the Vocaloids knew they were in real danger. Music had become illegal, and they needed to hide.
"Hello, May. Can I help you?" Ivigi asked politely.
"The police would like to speak with you about the prisoner," 'May' told him.
"Okay, thank you."
They both left.
Piko stared after them. He needed to escape, to help the others, but the words drifting towards his cell and the sound of whirring in the room next door told him that it might be too late for that.
They were all doomed.
Okay, that's all. I'll update as soon as I can!
Review!
