Miku hummed to herself as she brushed her teal hair out the next morning in front of the bathroom mirror, putting her hair back up into its signature twintails and admiring her outfit to herself. It was almost time for breakfast, and that meant that Kaito would be getting up soon.

Miku felt the edge of anticipation and smiled at herself in the mirror, feeling nervous but happy. Excited. All of the problems were gone now, and she had Kaito to herself. Not only that, but... Miku didn't bother stifling another small smile as the thought trailed off, uncompleted.

Miku was checking her clothes for the upteenth time, making sure that everything looked perfect, when she heard the soft sound of a door opening into a slight resistance down the hall. The bathroom door was just barely cracked open, just so she could hear this very sound, when it came. There was a pause of silence, and then another, very soft sound.

Miku knew in her mind that that sound meant that Kaito had found the cardboard box she had left for him in front of his door. The box that was wrapped in saran wrap inside, with a very special present, just for her beloved blue-haired brother Vocaloid, patiently waiting inside.

Miku's small smile grew into a demonic and full-faced grin, showing all of her teeth as she stared into the mirror into her own eyes, as a loud, lovely, lovely male wail split the peace of the Vocaloids' household. Miku heard the instant commotion as her sibling Vocaloids opened their own doors to investigate the horrified, horrified yell.

Miku slapped her cheeks lightly and scolded herself to not show such an expression to the others. She schooled her expression into a confused, curious, somewhat concerned expression, and felt satisfied when her face obeyed her intent. She was ready to be audience to the play that she had crafted for Kaito's sake.

"Hehehe," Miku giggled slightly at the thought, then schooled her expression again and opened the bathroom door to go down the hallway and join the others who were clustered around the big cardboard box.

"Oh my god..! Is that Luka?!" Len was asking, white-faced and aghast as he stared down into the box that was in front of Kaito's door. Miku looked at Kaito's face, unable to tear her eyes away, but managing to keep her calm expression of concern and confusion in place.

Kaito was white as a sheet, his body was shaking. His big blue eyes were opened wider than Miku had ever seen them before, and beautiful teardrops were decorating his eyelashes, dropping down onto his cheeks as his pretty pink lips trembled and he held his hands near his face, backing away, slowly away from Miku's present.

In a split instant, before Miku could get any closer, Kaito whirled around and ran away from the box, past Miku without even looking at her. Miku watched Kaito run into the bathroom. He didn't close the door, and she smiled a huge, inward smile that didn't show on her face at the reward of hearing Kaito noisily throwing up, presumably into the toilet.

"What's going on? What was that shout about?" Miku walked up to the rest of the Vocaloids. Len blocked her way, holding his arms out and looking very serious, but with a very pale, haunted expression.

"Miku, don't... don't look. Just go back to your room. Right now," Len said in a shaken voice. Miku looked at the others. Rin was clutching Meiko's blouse and crying into her shirt. Gakupo was holding his stomach with both of his delicate hands, looking like he was about to join Kaito in the bathroom.

"I don't understand," Miku pretended not to know what was going on, "What's in the box?" But Len just stepped closer to her and kept her away, kept her away from seeing inside. Kept her away from seeing her handiwork.

"Just go back to your room. Now, Miku. You don't need to see this. Everyone, just go back to your rooms!" Len commanded, obviously very upset, but trying to take charge of the situation and protect his other siblings.

"I... I'm going to go call the police," Gakupo quietly spoke in a hushed voice. "And.. and Master, and Master, too." Len nodded at Gakupo's plan, and put his hands on Rin's shoulders, turning his sister to face him. Her eyes were full of horror and tears.

"Rin, you go stay in Meiko's room for now. Don't come out for now, until I say it is okay, and this is taken care of. Okay?" Len looked at Meiko as he said this, too, and both of the female Vocaloids nodded, numb in their shock.

"Miku, go." Len directed the teal-haired girl again, firmly. He looked back at the box again and flinched away, a new wave of horror breaking over him. Gakupo turned and walked away, to get the telephone, presumably.

Miku obediently walked to her room, turning around as she heard Len muttering to himself, "Should I... should I cover her up, or something? But no, this is a crime scene, I shouldn't touch anything."

As Miku closed the door to her room, she rested her forehead lightly on the door, her ears straining to listen for the continued, muffled sounds of Kaito throwing up into the toilet. She smiled quietly, feeling satisfaction and a twisted sense of joy. She wondered offhand if the bluenette was throwing up bile, or just dry-heaving now. She was so nice, to leave his present before he had breakfast. Otherwise, the morning meal would have been a waste.

'Now you know, Kaito, what it feels like. Now, we are closer than ever. I love you. I love you.' Miku smiled to herself, feeling a warm sense of satisfaction and closeness to her blue-haired brother Vocaloid. She closed her eyes and rested her head even more firmly against the door, as if aching to be physically closer to the bluenette.

'I love you.'
