Vampire Miku: Chapter 9

Sorry if this chapter and/or chapter ten aren't the best, I was sick while writing them. That's how determined I am. (This note is being added to it afterwards XD)

And yes, everything went fine for Rin when she went out spying on Luka. At first, I was going to make it so she got captured, But then i changed my mind. I usually have some idea of what to write next by the end of each chapter, but I wasn't even remotely sure what i would do after she was (of course) saved. So i decided I would have everything go her way...

For now... Eventually everything will fall apart, and there's nothing they can do about it! MUAHAHAHAHA!...

Or is there?

Does anyone other than me ever read these?

I do not own Vocaloid.

Chapter 9: A New Enemy!

-Miku's POV-

(I'm not very proud of this chapter for some reason. oh well.)

I awoke with a feeling.

A bad feeling that something was wrong.

And I think I was right.

Rin, Luka and I met up at my house, but Luka seemed... Distant, scared. Maybe even slightly... Traumatized. Did she have a nightmare? If she did, It must have been pretty bad.

We ate in silence. We packed our things in silence. Not a word was said the whole time. Luka was continuously casting nervous looks my direction, and I didn't like it. Was she afraid of me? There was no reason to be afraid, I'd never hurt her!

Except when I slapped her yesterday... But that's besides the point! I'd never hurt her!

"We should probably get going." Rin said.

"We could take my car, it will be faster." Luka offered.

"Well, we could head to the forest, I've heard rumors that someone powerful lives in the forest, we could try to get him - or her - to teach us to fight. Because i'm pretty sure Gumi isn't afraid to kill to get to me." I said. " We could take your car to the edge of the forest, then hide it somewhere."

"Or I could have one of my drivers take us there, then drive the car back." Luka said.

"We really didn't plan very well, did we?"

"Well we didn't have much time Rin! What else are we supposed to do?" I said angrily.

"Okay! Sorry! Let's just go with Luka's idea!" Rin was clearly irritated.

"Thank you, now let's go." Luka stated firmly. She seems really out of it today... What happened last night? I mean, really. I guess she has gone through alot in the past few days, but still.

"Miku? You coming?" Luka shouted at me.

"Huh? Oh! Yea, sorry!" I ran after the two of them, "I was just thinking, sorry about that."

"What were you thinking about?"

"Oh, nothing important." I lied.

Luka was clearly suspicious, even though I should be the one that's suspicious of her. She's just not herself...

We got in Luka's car, her driver in the front seat, and set off for the forest.

It was the only thing we could do, we couldn't protect ourselves right now anyway.

And i'm sure Gumi isn't happy about Luka's betrayal.

About an hour later, I woke up to a happy Luka staring down at me, "Have a nice nap?"

"Huh?" It was then I realized I was resting my head in her lap.

I sat up abruptly,"O-Oh! I-I'm sorry! I.. I didn't mean- I wasn't- I-"

"Jeeze! Calm down! Wow, it's not that big of a deal you know!" Luka said with an amused grin. I just blushed and turned away.

"We're here!" The driver announced.

We grabbed our bags and got out of the car, "Thank you for your help! We will take it from here!" Luka said politely.

"As you wish!" The man said with a smile, before closing the door and driving back the way we came.

"So, according to my map, there should be a trail around here somewhere... " I mumbled, "AHA! FOUND IT!"

"Well, That was easy!" Said Luka.

"Hey, I'll take it! When life gives you lemons, you read them!" Rin said with a goofy smile.

Luka and I just stared at her in silence, both of us wearing surprised expressions.

"What? So i'm on the internet alot! Who cares?!"

We just kept staring...

"Too much information Rin... Just... Wow..." I was a bit... Disturbed? I guess? That's really the only way I can put it...

We walked down the trail in awkward silence, for what seemed like forever, before we came to a small clearing.

"This would be a good place to set up camp!" Luka suggested.

Rin was confused, "What? What are you talking about?! It's barely sunse-"

She looked at the sky, the moon shining down on her, "Oh... Wow. I didn't realize it was that late!

"Well, we should set up camp then. Miku, help me with the tent, Rin, Get out the sleeping bags and get them ready.."

"Awww, do I have to?" Rin complained.

"Yes, you do! It will be faster! I don't know about you, but i'd like to get some sleep tonight!" I said bitterly.

"Fine." Rin got the sleeping bags out, and I helped Luka unfold and pitch the tent.

After some work, and some annoyance from the wind, we managed to set up the tent.

"That was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be!" Luka exclaimed.

"Tell me about it!" Rin moaned, she ended up having to help us anyway.

Luka picked up her sleeping bag to bring it into the tent, when we heard a noise.

"Gggrrrrrrrrr..."

"W-what was that?!" Rin said shakily.

"P-probably a W-wolf." I said.

"W-WOLF?!" Rin shouted.

"Shhhh! Don't shout!" I hissed. Honestly, I don't know how to react to something like this, I've heard what to do with bears, but not a wolf, the only thing I know for sure is to never make direct eye contact with a wild animal.

"Gggrrrrrrr..." It walked out from the bushes, and, from the looks of it, was pretty hungry.

Luka stood there, immobilized by fear.

It took a step closer.

"Gggrrrr.."

"L-luka, D-don't make any sudden movements! B-Back away slowly!" Rin said.

Luka slowly took a slow step backwards, then another, and another.

Then she made a mistake.

She looked the wolf directly in the eyes, It took a step forward to warn her, but she panicked and started running, and tripped on a branch.

Before I could register what was happening, the wolf started running towards her. She held up her sleeping bag, the only thing she had, to block the wolf. But it tore right through the material with it's sharp teeth, and sank said teeth deep into Luka's right arm.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!" Luka screamed in pain.

Fueled with rage, I was by Luka in an instant, and kicked the wolf on it's side as hard as I could, sending it flying backwards a couple yards. It ran away, limping slightly, whimpering.

Well, at least now Luka was safe. Injured, yes. But safe.

But maybe not for long. The sight of blood... I couldn't controll myself, I threw myself on top of Luka, and pinned her arms down.

"M-Miku! Don't! It's Luka!" Rin shouted.

I wasn't listening. I wanted blood. I was going to get it.

Slowly, ever so slowly, I started to lower my head to the wound on her arm.

I felt like I wanted to stop, but I just couldn't.

"Miku! Please! Don't!" Luka pleaded.

I hesitated.

"Miku! Don't! You love her, don't y-OUFF!"

Rin was on the ground, clutching her stomach."ooouuggg... W-What...*Cough* Was that... For?!"

I was standing over her, clearly angry. "First of all, thanks. That helped stop me. Second of all, NEVER say anything like that again!"

"M-miku..." Luka groaned.

It finally sank in, as I realized my mistake...

"Oh god! Luka! I'm so sorry! It- It's just what happens when-"

"M-Miku! It-It's..ah... okay...It's...ugh.. Under..standable... but please...owww.. H-Help." Luka was clearly in a lot of pain.

"R-Right!" I hurried to our supplies bag and grabbed bandages and disinfectant- I barely knew anything other than disinfect the wound and stop the bleeding.

The stop the bleeding part is more important with me here.

I resisted the urge to... drink... while I wrapped up her wound.

I could barely stand it.

"Th-Thanks, Miku." Luka said nervously.

" N-No problem! I wouldn't be able to sit there doing nothing, knowing you're hurt! Although I did try to..."

"M-Miku... I said it's okay. It's your instinct. You can't help it. Speaking of which, is it true you become a vampire if you get bit and live?" Luka said.

"No, a vampire has to want to do that, we can release a sort of... Venom, I guess- from our fangs when we want to turn someone into a vampire. But most vampires don't try to turn other people into vampires."

"Huh. Interesting... so even if you had bit me, i'd be fine?

I winced at this, "Well... There is...uh...blood loss... but most vampires also dont take very much..."

Luka must have noticed my discomfort, "Hey, I said it's okay! I forgive you! It's not your fault!"

Then proceeded to do something that surprised me - She hugged me. Hugged me!

I was in heaven, even though it was nothing more than a comforting hug. I wish it could last forever. Her perfume smells so nice...

Wait, did I just smell her? What the-

"Um, I'm still here!" Rin said jokingly.

Luka, much to my dissapointment, pulled away immedietally, clearly blushing. "S-sorry... I..."

"I get it, I get it, It's no big deal. Let's just go to sleep."

"But... My sleeping bag was torn up by the wolf..." Luka reminded her.

"Then sleep with Miku!"

Luka blushed even more, if it was possible.

I was blushing too, but not because of Rin, "WOW, LUKA! DID YOU REALLY JUST-"

"SH-SHUT UP, MIKU!" Luka yelled, embarrassed.

Rin, finally realizing what was going on, started blushing too.

Great, a perverted Luka... I'm fine with that, but it might get a bit annoying...

(Or fun, for all I know!) I thought to myself.

Great, I think Luka is having an influence on me already...

"L-Let's just go to sleep!' Rin said awkwardly.

"Y-yeah, good idea..." I agreed.

I got into the sleeping bag, and Luka followed soon after.

It was... Odd, to say the least, her being so close to me and all.

But for some reason, It was really comfortable...

I quickly drifted off to sleep.

-Luka's POV-

Miku was asleep in an instant.

I noticed something though, she was quietly mumbling something in her sleep.

I held my breath and listened closely.

"L...a..." I struggled to hear what she was saying.

"Lu...ka..." I froze, and Miku unconsiously managed to wrap her arm around me.

(Was Rin just trying to get Miku off of me when she said that miku loved me? Or was it really true, and it happened to slip out?)

I debated about waking her up, this was an awkward situation, but it might be more awkward if I wake her up...

I eventually decided to just let it be. It's easier, if she's still hugging me in the morning, oh well. But if I wake her up now, there's no chance of avoiding an awkward situation at all.

(Her lips are so close to mine... Why do i feel tempted to kiss her? Ugh.. What the heck?! I don't think I like her that way, do I? I wouldn't want her to wake up and get the wrong impression though. I know she probably wouldn't mind, considering I know she likes me, but.. i'm not sure if I can say the same for myself...)

I continued to argue with myself in my head for several minutes, before finally falling asleep.

For the first time in a while, I slept peacefully.

I woke up feeling relaxed and refreshed, for once, and actually kind of... happy.

Really, truly happy.

Miku, to my relief, must have let go of me during the night too, so I decided to step ouside for some fresh air.

"So, I see Miku didn't try to kill you in your sleep?" someone said.

"I guess. I'm still here, aren't I?" I replied.

"No, you're not here, you're there." Rin replied sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes, "Great, this trip is going to be SO much fun."

She just ignored me. "So, how did you sleep, being strangled by Miku?"

I blushed. "I-I...U-Uh... W-well enough."

Rin just laughed, "Alright then, just be careful, I have no idea how she would react if she- "

'If I what?" Oh crud.

"Oh! M-miku! G-good morning!"

"If. I. What?" Miku repeated.

"N-Nothing! D-Don't worry about it! Heheh!..."

"Whatever. Let's pack up and get going." Miku said, tossing the sleeping bags to Rin for her to put away. "And you don't have to help, Luka. It would be bad for your arm, especially taking down the tent!"

"I still can't believe we're having to camp in the middle of the forest." I complained

"Well, I can't either. But you can thank Gumi for that." Rin said

"Yea, I guess we can. When I get the chance, I'm gonna let her know what I REALLY think of her! That stupid bitch!"

"Did you not notice that Gumi is also most likely a student at our school?" Rin asked.

"WHAT?!" Miku and I both yelled in unison.

"Yea, when I was spying on you, she said something along the lines of- 'I know from experience those kids wont stop pummeling you until you need to go to the hospital.' Which suggests she is a student. Oh, and by the way Miku, it was Gumi that helped you at school."

"What? Why would she help me?!"

"Well, It's difficult to get information from someone when they're in critical condition in the hospital." Rin stated.

"Good point. Speaking of getting information, Luka, how did you find out i'm a vampire?!"

Uh oh.

Miku was angry. VERY angry.

"I-I.. Well... I.. I was... I was spying on you when you were talking to Rin at her house..." I Looked guiltily at the floor.

"WHAT?! How much did you hear?!" Miku yelled.

"All I heard was the vampire part, I left right after that because Rin looked at me..." I whimpered.

"WHAT?! YOU SAW HER, RIN?! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!"

"I- I'm sorry! I was going to, but then I got distracted because you... Because of what you said after that..."

"What did she say?" I asked curiously.

"N-N-Nothing important." Rin studdered.

I gave her a questioning look, but didn't say any more. At least now I know that Rin is a terrible liar, It's clearly something VERY important. Something important that involves me.

"Grr...Whatever. Let's get going." Miku said hurriedly.

"A-Alright." Rin was clearly nervous.

Miku shot her a look that said 'Chill out! Just don't say anything!'

Rin, amazingly, managed to relax after a few minutes.

But she still complained like a child all the time. "How much longer until we get there?" She groaned.

"I don't know, I'm not even sure if we're going the right way, or if he/she even exists, but right now it's our only chance." Miku said

"Great, so we don't know where we're going, we don't know who or what we are looking for, or if they even exist. GREAT PLAN MIKU!"

"HEY! IT'S NOT MY FAULT I'M BEING FOLLOWED BY A LUNATIC!"

"IT'S NOT MY FAULT I'M TRAVELING WITH A LUNATIC!" Rin yelled

"Guys..." I mumbled

"WELL IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU FOLLOWING ME IN THIS VERY SAME FOREST, WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE IN THIS SITUATION!" Miku countered.

"IF YOU WEREN'T A BITCH WE WOULDN'T BE IN THIS SITUATION!"

"Stop it!" I said, louder this time.

"IF YOU HAD JUST ASKED WHAT MY "BIG SECRET" WAS, I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU! AND LUKA PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE FOUND OUT ABOUT IT!"

"YOU'RE THE ONE THAT LIED AND HID THAT SECRET FROM ME FOR YEARS! I SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO ASK! YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME!"

"SHUT UP!" I shouted angrily.

They stopped arguing immedietally.

"First of all, Miku, she's right. You should have told her from the start. Second, Rin, she's right too, all you had to do was ask, you were - and still are- best friends, and one secret, no matter what, should ruin that!" They looked at each other guiltily. "And it isn't your fault you're being followed by a lunatic. It's mine. And I want to help stop her and whatever she's planning."

"Thank you, Luka..." Miku said
"Yea...thanks..." At least Rin was being decent.

After a moment of comfortable silence, we continued walking.

(I hope the whole "Help put a stop to Gumi" thing works out for me. I don't know how i'd help... I was literally frozen in terror by a wolf, and managed to get bit. although the getting bit part is understandable, me panicking won't help them...)

I should say something... "Hey, Miku?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks for helping me with the wolf last night."

"O-Oh... I-It's no big deal."

"Are you still worried about the 'almost biting me' thing?" She visibly cringed, "I told you I'm not angry." I said reassuringly.

"N-No, it's something else." Miku said sadly.

"What is it?" I asked, concerned.

"I-I'd rather not talk about it..."

"Oh. Okay then...I understand."

"Thanks, Luka."

Miku smiled. That beautiful smile.

-in the cover of the trees-

"Target in sight." A man in red said to his radio.

"Move on my signal, and remember, Miss Kasane want's that girl alive! Try not to hurt the other two, but if they get in the way, take them out. Do not kill them. Have I made myself clear?"

Four answers came through:

"Affirmative."

"Understood."

"Yes, Sir!"

"Loud and clear, Sir!"

"Good." The man said, clearly the commander of the other four.

Just then, three figures walked into view, one with blonde hair, one with teal.

The last one - pink hair, with a bandaged arm.

(Where have I seen her before?) The man wondered.

(That doesn't matter now! It's time!)

"Move!"

And with that, five red figures leaped from the cover of the trees.

What do you think? That wolf was a first attempt at anything action related for this story... sadly... I hope the next chapter goes well! (Oh man, I'm so nervous!)

Again, my internet is being stupid, sometimes it says there's networks, sometimes it lets me put in the password, but doesn't connect. Sometimes it doesn't get any networks, other times it just doesn't work at all. I was lucky to be able to post the last chapter, WiFi only worked for a few days...

What's stupid is EVERYTHING ELSE COULD CONNECT! Ipod touch, Tablet, laptop- everything else works fine... WTF?!

And for some reason, I'm the kind of person that, even if information is 100% correct, I doubt myself. At least when it comes to writing things like this, and I don't want to make a fool of myself, even though this is on the internet and nobody knows who I am in real life, so it doesn"t matter! It won't affect me if I don't let it!

Me: Miku LOOOVES leeks? Hm... I'm not sure... Let me look it up!... (Oh wait, I can't! At least on this computer... Grr...)

Nope, still not sure...

(Even though i'm 99.99% sure that her favorite food is leeks...)

BRAVO FOR SELF-CONFIDENCE! *Claps*

And i've found out the breaks i've been using that are supposed to be next to the POV breaks, and these notes at the end aren't showing up, like -Miku's POV- I was originally using the squiggle thing similar to the - so i hope the sudden notes at the end didn't confuse you in previous chapters! lol

Don't forget to review!

(I could use some help to boost my self-confidence... Meh..*crys*)...ok, not really

Sorry about my little rant there!

Anyways,

This is RiskyWriter, signing out!
