Hi hi~ I'm out of milk :(. Hopefully finish MikuxKaito this chappy… because I actually have a plan for what's going to happen next! I really hope this chapter doesn't seem rushed or anything—I love Miku and Kaito and all that, but I reeeeaaally can't wait to move on to the REALLY interesting stuff. Like Miki-chan and Piko-chu! And MOTHERFUDGING NERU!
Oh yes, Neru and Haku shall torture them all… But first I must complete this chapter. Oh yay, more perverted Kaito :3. Never mind, this is going to be fun.
Again, credit for the plot for the Leek Ice Cream arc goes to MintCookieMonster.
DISCLAIMER: If I said that I did own Vocaloid, would I get sued for trying…?
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP MOTHERFUDGING BEEP
Miku pounded a hand on her ever-so-annoying alarm clock. She sat up sleepily and yawned. Noticing that the sun was pouring into her room, she checked the time on her alarm clock.
Ten forty-two.
Miku almost screamed. The horror of her oversleeping was just too unbelievable for her little teal head.
"Rin-chan!" She seethed, thrusting a bean-bag at the orange bed, "Why did you reset my alarm clock! You know how much I hate sleeping in!"
As weird as it was, the virtual diva Miku Hatsune just despised the thought of sleeping in. Just four hours of her Saturday morning, down the drain. The later she woke up, the grumpier she was.* However, when she had angrily thrown the pillow at her roommate's bed, she noticed it was empty.
"R-Rin?" she blinked.
Miku stood up and walked to the bathroom the two shared with Meiko and Luka. She wasn't in there, either.
She went to Rin's bed to retrieve her Squishum, when she saw a note attached to it. It read,
"Yo, Miku! Sorry I had to reset your alarm. You needed the sleep, trust me. So in a way, I kind of did you a favor. You're gonna have to get your own ride to the beach, sorry! Gumi and Iroha and Miki and I are doing a thing before-hand. We'll see you there at four o'clock!
Hugs and Butterfly Kisses, Rin."
Butterfly kisses…? Miku thought. And four o'clock? Isn't that a little late to… ah well.
She picked up her hairbrush and started to get out the endless stream of knots that comes with having thick, long hair.
~~~Going to Japantown again GONNA GET THAT GODDAMN SHIRT~~~
Kaito was woken up by the song Luka Luka Night Fever. Figures. A Luka song for the pervert that was obsessed with her.
What, are you kidding me? Kaito practically worshipped Saturdays; he wouldn't ruin a day of sleeping in by setting an alarm! Gakupo had forgotten to turn it off… but he wasn't there.
Come to think of it, Kaito thought, did he ever come home last night? Luka, too… Hm, wonder what's up with them. Hope they're alright… his eyelids drooped as he fell back asleep with the pillow on top of his face.
Of course the alarm was a playlist, so Kaito was reawakened about fifteen minutes later by the (loud) song Japanese Ninja No. 1.** Kaito groaned as he reluctantly sat up to turn off Luka's chipmunked voice. That song seriously sounded like it was sung by Tako Luka…
Gakupo's clock stated that it was ten forty-four. He chose to accept this statement. Kaito looked out the window and remembered that he was supposed to go to the beach today with Rin and Gumi and Miki and Iroha and… Miku.
Miku.
Miku.
Mikuuuuuuuu—
As if it hated him, his cell phone decided to tell him that he had a text message. Kaito picked it up and read,
"Yo, Kaito! Sry i had 2 set Gakupo's alarm. Anyway, ur gonna have to get ur own ride 2 the beach, sry! Gumi and Iroha and Miki and Miku and i are doing a thing b4hand. Well c u there at 4!
Hugs & Butterfly Kisses, Rin."
Kaito reread the message, murmuring, "Butterfly kisses…?"
He fell back on his bed, overwhelmed by whatever makes Kaitos overwhelmed.
"… I wonder what Gakupo and Luka are up to, though?"
~~~Don't you hate letting your alarm go only to be woken up by it later? And no, I'm not telling you what they're up to~~~
"I must say this is going quite well for us this time," Rin said proudly, placing her feet up on the table of the ice cream parlor.
"Ugh, quit it, we're gonna get stares," Iroha tapped her foot.
"But isn't it!" Rin beamed, taking her feet back down to the floor, "I mean, all we need to do is just… not show up. Oh, but we want to watch, don't we? We'll hide in the bushes." She turned around from Gumi and Iroha to Miki who was currently hunting the floor for the last nickel to get her two scoops on her cherry-vanilla cone.
"Got that, Ahoge-chan?"
Miki looked up at her nickname, "Hm?"
"We're going to have to tape that ahoge of yours down so we can spy from the bushes."
Miki held her cowlick protectively, "But Rinrin, this is my trademark! Would you let someone tape down your bow?"
Iroha glared at the redhead on the ground, "Or we could just cut it off."
Miki went pale. She giggled nervously, "F-fine, we'll tape it down. Ah~" she squealed excitedly, "Found a nickel! Two scoops!" she jumped up, dusted herself off, and ran back to the counter.
~~~I broke a manga shelf in Barnes & Noble~~~
"… And so it begins," said Iroha dully, dreading the moments to come.
Gumi checked her phone. Three fifty. She figured she should get over to the spot they planned to meet to put down the picnic basket.
The plan was to let them see the picnic basket, find out that everyone else was gone, and eat anyway, having intimate moments here and there while Rin and Miki snickered from the bushes and Iroha played on her DS. There was no guaranteeing when the two would be there, so Gumi thought that ten minutes leeway would give her enough time to scurry back to the safety of the bushes unseen.
She picked up the basket, stood up from the shrub and strolled down to the spot on the beach. She set it down and was about to walk back to the bush when she heard a familiar voice.
"Ah, Gumi-chan, you're early, too! I was worried I'd be the only one here!" Miku rushed over in a teal and white polka-dotted bikini. She tilted her head slightly in confusion. "Gumi-chan, why aren't you in your bathing suit…"
"Oh, you guys are here early, too! That's good, I thought I might be the first one…" Kaito ran down the stone steps to the beach in a black t-shirt and blue swim trunks.
"K-K-K-Kaito?" Miku stuttered, blushing.
Kaito looked puzzled, "Uh, yeah, that's me… Did Rin not tell you I was coming?"
"U-Um, no, she must've forgotten to mention it…" Miku pushed a few strands of hair to cover her face, "By the way, where is Rin-chan? And the others, too…"
Both of them turned to look at Gumi.
Gumi was freaking out in her mind. Oh, m'god, this was not supposed to happen, whadd'll I do, they were supposed to be alone how do I explain why the others aren't here, oh god how do I explain this to Rin-chan, oh no oh no oh no…
"Gumi? Y'okay?" Kaito noticed that Gumi had started fiddling with her goggles and blushing.
"U-Uh, uh, uh, I-I-I-I-I…" Gumi almost flipped out, "… Yes…" she sighed. "Why don't we just sit down and eat for now? W-We can swim later."
"B-But where's Rin and—"
"Th-They couldn't make it!" Gumi shot out before she could stop herself.
"Okay, then…" Kaito said cautiously, "Let's see what you brought for—"
"N-No! I'll open the basket!" Gumi exclaimed again, suddenly remembering the note of excuse that Rin had left inside regarding herself, Iroha and Miki's absences.
She quickly found the note in the basket and threw it backwards over her shoulder.
Miku frowned. "You really shouldn't litter, Gumi-chan…"
Gumi almost felt her eye twitch. This girl can be too gosh darn perfect…
Nevertheless, she promptly stood up and trotted over to pick up the note and put it in a trash can.
~~~I SECOND THAT MOTION~~~
"Oh dear lord," Iroha almost started snickering when she saw Miku and Kaito run up to her flustered friend, who promptly started fixing her goggles the way she did when she was nervous. Iroha shook her head. "Poor, poor, Gumi."
"Hey, Iroha-nyan, what did we miss so far~" a familiar redhead exclaimed, skipping towards the bush. Rin dashed forward and grabbed Iroha by the shoulders.
"Did anything good happen? Catch me up! I NEED TO KNOW!"
Iroha motioned for Rin to remove her hands, which she did. She cleared her throat and began, "Well, Gumi was caught, and—"
"WHAT!"
"She seems to be keeping up the act, though. Neither one of them looks like they suspect a thing."
"Hmm…" Rin said thoughtfully. I should not underestimate my fellow team members…
Gumi then ran up with a piece of paper in her hand, her whole face blushing scarlet.
"Gumi-tan, how's it goin'?" Miki asked.
"I-I don't know what to do!" she said frantically as she put the crumpled up paper in the trash can. "What should I do? They were supposed to be alone, right?"
Rin pointed a dramatic finger in the goggle-girl's face. "Keep it up, Gumi! We cannot afford to lose this fight! Kaito-nii will get over his perversion and those two will fall in love AND LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER GOSHDARNIT!"
"I second that motion!"*** Miki raised her hand almost jokingly.
Iroha put a supportive hand on her friend's shoulder. "As much as I hate to admit it, Gumi, they're right. You need to go back out there and find some way to get them together."
"Yeah, otherwise we'll have to use Plan B."
"We have a Plan B?" Iroha asked.
Rin waved a hand in dismissal, "There's always a Plan B. But I'm only going to use it when I'm feeling uncreative. Now go out there, Gumi-chan, and show them that you mean business!"
"Good luck, Gumi-tan~"
"Don't faint."
Gumi almost passed out as that last possibility hit her.
~~~You ever noticed that 'awkward' is the most awkward word ever?~~~
Surely, Miku thought, I've just confirmed my ultimate death.
She had told Gumi to go throw away the paper, not even thinking that it would mean for her to be alone with Kaito. Kaito. He was so handsome, and kind, and yet, so dense and perverted at the same time.
Well, Miku thought, I guess compared to Gakupo-kun, Kaito's just another teenage boy.
The two stared at each other in awkward silence. Kaito even did the Awkward Balloon. Miku smiled. Oh, I should try to make conversation, shouldn't I?
"So, um…" Miku looked at the ground, blushing, "How was your day?"
"Pretty good so far," Kaito said, "Considering I was woken up by a recording of Japanese Ninja No. 1."
Miku frowned. "That song Luka-chan did? With the high voice?"
Kaito groaned, "That's the one."
Miku giggled a bit, and she could've sworn that she saw Kaito blush.
…And then the cycle ended and they were back at awkward silence. Kaito filled it this time with the Awkward Rollercoaster.
"H-Hey, guys," Gumi, thank goodness! "Sorry that took me so long, I couldn't find a trash can…"
Kaito pointed to his right. "You know there's one over there, right? You didn't have to go up the steps."
"Oh…" Gumi looked really embarrassed. "Um, shall we eat now? I made the food myself."
"Yay! I love Gumi-chan's food~" Miku clapped her hands together.
Gumi reached into the basket and pulled out a few sandwiches and some Ramune—strawberry, orange and melon.****
Miku claimed the melon Ramune, and Kaito took the orange, leaving Gumi with strawberry. As she popped the marble in and watched it fizz, she wondered why there wasn't a carrot flavored Ramune yet. And why there was no Vocaloid with a strawberry as their character item yet. She watched amusedly as Miku struggled with opening her soda, seeing as she had probably never done it before.
"Need some help with that?" Kaito smiled at her.
"Y-Yes, please," Miku blushed.
"You mean to tell me you've never had Ramune before?"
"N-No…" Miku averted her eyes, "I don't like bubbles… they feel weird on my tongue."*
"Try it," Kaito said, handing her the glass bottle.
Miku reluctantly took a sip and Gumi and Kaito watched her smile grow, "Wow! My love for the taste surpasses my hatred for the bubbles!" she declared.
Gumi almost wanted to laugh out loud. She frowned to herself. Being part of the Flying Purple Ninja Pigs has changed me, hasn't it…
They ate the rest of their meal in silence. Then again, don't we all. One minute we're talking and laughing and then we start to actually eat and the whole schoolyard is like completely silent. Unless you're my friend who talks with her mouth full. Sorry, breaking the fourth wall here.
Gumi took her gaze from her sandwich to the couple, and noticed Kaito… staring at her boobs. Gumi dropped her sandwich, blushed, and facepalmed all in an instant.
Miku also looked over to Kaito and noticed the direction of his gaze. Gumi saw the tears in her eyes as she ran away without saying a word.
Kaito turned at this. "M-Miku-chan, wait!" and he ran after her.
And with that, Gumi was left all alone. "Finally…" she said, picked up her sandwich from the blanket and took a small bite.
~~~Strawberry Ramune is heavenly~~~
For once, we're gonna do a Miku POV! Tell me what you think of my POV-ness!
"Miku-chan! Miku-chan, wait!"
I could hear Kaito calling my name loud and clear, I mean how could you not? But… I just couldn't turn around. I couldn't stop running. How could he? He… just… he makes me so mad sometimes! I thought, on the verge of tears.
I know, we weren't officially a couple or anything, so I guess Kaito could stare at girl's breasts if he wanted to… b-but I loved him! And sometimes… I thought that…
"Miku!" Kaito had caught up to me and held my wrist in a firm grip.
The tears I had been barely holding back while I ran now poured down my face like a river. I started hiccupping and sobbing into Kaito's shirt.
After I had calmed down considerably, Kaito motioned for me to sit down on the beach with him. I obeyed without question. Yes, love can do that to you.
"Now, Miku-chan, why were you crying? Did I do something wrong?" he asked with genuine concern on his face.
I wanted to snap 'as if you didn't know', but kept up my sweet-girl persona and replied timidly, "I-It wasn't you, Kaito-kun, I'm just… uh, having my time of month?"
I mentally facepalmed. (Something I've been doing a lot lately.) Stupid Miku-chan! Stupid stupid stupid! That is not the idea you want to send him!
"Oh," Kaito replied with a confused look on his face, "Um, I don't know what you mean by that, but I still don't think you're alright… You were crying."
Oh my, how could he be so dense yet so darn sexy at the same time! No! Dirty Miku-chan! No sexy! ~mental slap~
"M-Miku-chan, why'd you slap yourself…?" Kaito asked, even more confused.
Oops.
"I-I-I…" I stuttered, having no clue what to say after my slip up.
"Your cheek is all red now…" Kaito leaned forward to brush his hand against it. Oh m'god.
I slapped his hand and turned away, "I-I'm fine," I said quickly. I looked back at my poor puzzled crush. And I decided.
"I'm not fine, actually," I turned back around and looked into his eyes, "I hate it when I see you always looking at other girls' breasts. And you always act like nothing happened afterwards!"
Kaito looked extremely taken aback by my sudden talkativeness.
"I stare at… Miku-chan, are you jealous?" Kaito almost started to blush a little bit.
I was blushing a lot. "Y-Yes… I… I think I'm in l-love with you, Kaito…"
I was dead. Game over. Cue the Legend of Zelda theme.
"What…?" Kaito asked.
I looked at him again. "I said I love you Kaito-kun."
"Me? A-Are you sure?" he pointed to himself.
At this point I was kind of ticked off, "Darn it Kaito, yes, I'm not going to say it again."
Kaito repeated softly, "You… love me."
I stared at him strangely, "Yes…?"
Kaito started laughing a bit. I was startled by this reaction, of course. Who wouldn't be? What really alarmed me was when my crush since my release four years ago decided to pick me up and swing me around in circles.
"K-Kaito-kun, w-what are you doing?"
Kaito looked at me with a smile on his face. I blushed. "This is great! I love you too, Miku!"
I absorbed the information slowly. Before I could fully process it, Kaito had pulled me into a kiss. On the lips. With Kaito.
Oh m'god.
~~~Holy Crudscones~~~
"Holy crudscones!" Rin exclaimed as she saw Miku and Kaito kissing from a distance. "You sure did a good job, Gumi. I shouldn't underestimate the power of your cleavage."
Gumi just blushed and nodded silently.
Miki tapped Rin lightly on the shoulder. "So, does this mean I get to be a part of the team now?"
*I kind of modeled Miku after me. I hate waking up early, I hate bubbly drinks, and I have a squishum. However, I'm mentally dating all of the male Vocaloids, so unlike Miku-chan, I'm a virtual slut.
**That song seriously sounds like it's chipmunked. An awesome song, yes, but weird. And doesn't it suck when you just get woken up again?
***This was what my eighth grade history teacher described as 'an easy way to get points' in our Constitutional Convention. It became a running joke with the class. It's still funny to me at least.
****Ramune. The only soda I will drink. Strawberry or Original. It comes in a glass bottle. You take off the wrapper, pull off the cap, and use the cap to break the seal made by the marble. The marble rolls around for the duration of your soda-ing experience. It requires buff-ness to open. Or you have to stand up in the restaurant and make an awkward grunting noise. So my friend Sophie does it for me :3.
I know. I'm horrible. The relationship between the two was so underdeveloped. I might redo this chapter later on or summit. ~sigh~
Well, Miku and Kaito are together. Of course, this does not mean that under any circumstances Kaito won't be staring at girl's boobs. Miku will just have the right to hit him with a leek this time. Yay, Miku-chan!
La Pregunta del Capitulo: Pick someone for Haku to flirt with while drunk! Don't question it, just do it! I NEED THIS, GUYS!
Dude, that button's telling you to leave a review. I wouldn't cross a button, you should do it.
