Sorry if the wait was too long for you, but here it is; chapter 9.
I think you'll all be happy to hear that Miku and Luka's luck finally begins to change during the course of this chapter.
I hope you all enjoy this chapter, although it's a tad short. Nevertheless, I hope it's enough for you all. As always, reviews are welcome.

Everybody who had the misfortune of standing outside the school cringed when they heard the blood curdling sound produced from Luka's head making contact with the pavement, and they all stood with their mouths agape as they saw the small trickle of blood originating from the fresh wound. Well… everyone except for Lily.
The blonde just stood atop the steps and surveyed the scene with a faint smile adorning her features, looking almost pleased with her grotesque handiwork. "Bitch had it coming." She muttered and chuckled under her breath as she gave another look to the crimson liquid she had spilled.
Miku pulled herself up from the floor and turned to face the laughing girl, looking at her with incredulous eyes. "Y-You're a m-monster." She whispered through tears. "How can y-you be laughing?"
"'Cause it's funny." She replied flatly, making it seems normal to mock an unconscious, bleeding girl. "Isn't that right guys?" She asked as she turned around, addressing her band of delinquents.
While everyone behind Lily did share her distain for the pink and teal haired girls, no one of them thought that this was funny in the slightest. But, under Lily's iron fist, they were all too scared to oppose the tall blonde; too afraid to say or do anything that might anger the crazy girl. This fear had only been cemented by the seeing the state that Lily was able to put Luka in, and only made them fall deeper into her clutches. "You g-got that right Lily." Kaito mumbled nervously as he nodded his head shakily.
"See, they find it amusing." She offered to Miku, starting to walk towards the pinkette's frozen form. "Why don't you get a picture of us, Neru? It'll look hilarious on my profile…" Lily smirked as she stood over Luka's body."
"Don't you dare touch her!" Miku growled, her small form hunched over the broken shell of her girlfriend. "You have no right to even look at Luka, so don't you dare come any closer!" She gently stroked Luka's cheek and went rummaging in her bag.
Lily sniggered at Miku pitiful attempt to protect her friend. "What the hell happened to you? I thought you hated Luka." She looked down at the scene in disgust as she spoke.
"Things changed, now we're friends. Would you just leave the subject alone?" She frantically asked, focusing more on the task at hand. After searching through her belongings she pulled out some tissues from her bag and held them to her beloved's head, hoping to put a stop to the blood flow.
Lily smirked as she got a good, but devious idea, one that would hopefully push the tealette's buttons. "I bet you like seeing her like this don't you?" She asked with a mischievous smile on her features as she watched Miku twitch with anger. "I mean, after all that bullying, it's only natural to want to watch your victim suffer more…"
"Shut up!" Miku shouted at the top of her lungs, starting Lily and everyone else within a ten-mile radius. "Why on earth would I want to see Luka in pain? Why would I want the person most dear to me lying on the floor, bleeding?"
Lily wasn't fazed by the tealette's outburst, and just laughed in her face in response. "Most dear to you?" She questioned spitefully. "You've only know her for a few days, and yet you talk like you've been friends forever."
"It may have only been a few days, but she a much better friend than you ever were!" She spat in retaliation, and went back to tend Luka's head injury. "I should've known better than to befriend you. I'm not even sure why I did, 'specially seeing how scummy you were, how rough you seemed."
Lily's eyes bulged at the mention of her family's less than pleasant history; a sore topic that evoked the utmost rage within her. "Don't you fucking talk about my family you little… you little shit." Her hands curled into tight fists, as her anger returned in full force.
Miku silently laughed at how blunt the blonde really was, finding it amusing that she could only ever solve problems with threats, swearing and violence. "Or what? You'll go back to your caravan and cry with your scumbag parents?" She asked with a fake innocence and cuteness, no doubt aggravating the blonde further. Miku knew she was annoying Lily, and she knew from experience that doing that generally wasn't a good idea. However, this time, she didn't care the slightest, especially after what this brute had done to her precious Luka.
Lily cracked her neck and knuckles and snatched the tealette up by her collar, raising her off the floor so that her own shirt would choke her. She watched Miku struggle in her grip and laughed sadistically into the tealette's ear, whispering, "Trust me, this is going to hurt…"
"Put her down this instant!" A powerful, female voice called out from the school gates.
"M-Meiko…"The tealette gasped when she spotted the brown haired teacher a few meters away.
"What on earth are you doing to her, what is… oh my god, what happened to Luka?" Meiko panicked when she saw the red stain against the white stone. "Lily, did you do this?" She inquired as she bent down to check on the lifeless body.
"Who else could be that awesome?" She rhetorically questioned, not fully processing that by showing herself off, she just gave solid evidence to a teacher about her violent crime.
Meiko shook her head, and began to address the less than intelligent blonde, not even looking up while she did so. "You… you are a despicable human being, you know that?" Lily began to answer; not understanding that the question was rhetorical, and was soon interrupted by the brunette. "I never thought you could go this low. I always had some hope for you, I always longed to see you grow up and leave your immature and violent self behind. But after what you've done here…" She trailed off, too angry and upset to continue.
Meiko picked Luka up, carrying her princess style as she started walking towards the main double doors. "Could one of you support her head please?" She asked at the red and green haired pair. "And Lily, for the last time, would you put Miku down?"
Miki stepped out from behind the greenette who was protectively shielding her with her body. She ran up to her best friend and gently lifted her head, being careful to avoid the large gash that had stained the pink hair with red. Lily reluctantly, but aggressively released Miku, throwing her to the ground instead of gently lowering her to it. "This is last straw Lily; I have had just about enough of all the trouble you cause around here. Meiko seethed, voice trembling as she tried her best to control herself. "You can be certain that the head will be hearing this, and with any luck he will finally take some action."
Meiko left without another word, silently signalling for Gumi and a breathless Miku to follow. She made a beeline for the nurse's office, hoping that the damage wasn't too severe already.

After quite the amount of antiseptic, a few stitches and a clean dressing, Meiko had managed to close up Luka's head wound up and was now treating the ghastly purple bruise that stained the fair skin of Luka's cheek. Luka was still unconscious, which brought an exceptional amount of worry to the still extremely shaky tealette. "Are you sure she's gonna be alright?" She asked to the brunette as Gumi rubbed her shoulders soothingly, trying to calm her old best friend down.
Meiko found Miku's concern incredibly cute, finding it sweet that she cared so much about the pink haired girl. "Like I said Miku, Luka will be fine. She'll just have a bad headache when she wakes up, but that should be all." She informed as softly as possible.
That still wasn't enough for the teal haired girl. Worry and fear were the predominant things in her brain at the moment, and she refused to believe the brunette's words until she saw Luka return to her with her own eyes. "But what if she's in a coma? What if she's got a severe internal injury? Have you checked for that, have you checked for like, a concussion?" Miku franticly inquired as the most horrifying, but extremely unlikely scenarios popped into her head. "I bet she's got amnesia, I bet she's forgotten all about me."
"Don't be silly Miku-chan." The ahodged girl piped up, walking around from beside her green haired protector to face Miku.
"I'm not being silly, it's a real possibility." The tealette replied. She quickly lost the little composure she had left, and began to break down into a fit of tears. "I can't go on without Luka, she means everything to me." She managed through sobs as she thought that Luka wouldn't remember her, that she wouldn't remember their love.
"It's not like she going to die or anything, she'll be awake soon and everything will be fine, I promise." Meiko offered as she applied a single suture to the re-opened cut on Luka's lip, the one that Lily had caused only yesterday. Miku only cried harder as she lost herself in her misery. "Why is she so upset?" Meiko asked the two other girls quietly as she fought back her own tears.
Gumi glanced over at her girlfriend and they both shrugged their shoulders. "We're not really sure; maybe she's still depressed from last night?" Miki offered as a way of an explanation.
The brunette's brow furrowed with curiosity. "Last night? What happened last night?"
"I ruined Luka's life." Miku almost shouted, startling everyone in the room. The façade that Miku had thrown up last night now came crumbling down, revealing that she wasn't in fact okay, and that she still felt entirely to blame for the despicable events that had befallen her girlfriend.
Meiko put two and two together and quickly guessed that their plan to tell Luka's parents had gone badly, and seeing by the state the tealette was in, it must have gone pretty bad indeed. "You… ruined her life? What? How? What do you mean by that?" She asked sincerely.
Miku took a moment to wipe away the extraneous water from her eyes, trying to compose herself in the process. "After we told Luka's parents, her mother… she went crazy." Miku revealed, and was prompted to continue by the brunette. "She choked her own daughter and threw me out on to the lawn. Then, when Luka came to find me… she was shouting… she called me a w-worthless human b-being, a w-waste of sp-space…" As the horrific events of last night flooded back into Miku's mind, her words were cut off as the negative emotions and disgusting feelings took over her body once again.
"Oh Miku, that's terrible. You're not worthless!" Gumi offered reassuringly, and hugged the teal haired heap of sorrow from behind. "Luka's mother doesn't know what she's talking about."
"I am. I ruined their family, I ruined Luka's life." Miku grumbled in a self-loathing manner. "I don't deserve her, especially after everything I did to her; all the pain I caused." She added in a hoarse whisper before once again letting the torrent of tears flow.
Just as all hope for the tealette seemed lost, the pink haired girl on the infirmary bed stirred, being awoken by the loud sobs of the person most precious to her. Even though her head hurt like hell, and she was afraid to get up from her bed, Luka sat up and silently grasped the tealette in her chair and embraced her warmly.
Miku felt the familiar feeing of the pinkette's tender embrace; she smelt her sweet perfume and didn't comprehend what was going on. "L-Luka?" Miku whispered unbelievingly.
"I'm here, don't worry." She said in a groggy, but still soothing voice. She kissed Miku's temple and carried on whispering soothing words into the frail girl's ear, hoping to settle her girlfriend down.
"I'm sorry." Miku breathed; her voice barely audible even to Luka. "I'm sorry that you had to get hurt, that you had to take my punishment."
Luka pulled away, and quickly fixated her gaze with the tealette's. "It's fine, I did for you anyway." She whispered, looking lovingly into Miku's large teal orbs.
Miku blinked her tears away and looked back confusedly. "For me?"
The pinkette nodded faintly. "I did it so we could get Lily kicked out. I did it so you can be the princess again." She was having a hard time keeping her eyes open, but she still managed to see Miku's mixed expression, one of appreciation and thanks, but also of disappointment and anger.
"Luka…you shouldn't have out yourself in harm's way for something as silly as that." Miku scolded gently, quickly feeling even worse when she realized that she had inadvertently caused Luka to come to harm.
Luka was a bit shocked that Miku had objections, but she quickly realized that they were about her well being, and found it endearing that Miku put her girlfriend's health before her popularity. "It's fine, I was going to protect you anyway, so this is added bonus, no?" Luka grinned, causing Miku's small frown to dissolve. "I knew you'd be happier back in your rightful place at the top of the school, so I provoked her to hit me hard, and get herself in trouble."
Miku looked at the pinkette as if she was insane. "You provoked her knowing she'd knock you out, why on earth would you…?" Miku began to ask angrily, but was interrupted by a chaste kiss from the pinkette.
"Because I love you… because I'd do anything for you Miku, you must know that by now." Luka declared proudly and cupped her girlfriend's cheek with her right hand. "If I can make you happy then I will. I'd go to the ends of the earth for you and do everything in my power just to make you smile." Luka answered passionately, successfully bringing a sheepish grin to the tealette's face, which to Luka was the most beautiful and heart-warming sight in the world.
Miku felt tears of joy brim in her eyes as she remembered that she had been blessed with the sweetest, most beautiful and most caring girl in the world. But in Miku's extremely negative state of mind, those tears of happiness quickly degraded in to ones of sorrow, brought about when she thought she wasn't worthy of the pink haired girl. Miku buried her face in the crook of Luka's neck and cried quietly. "I don't deserve you; you're too good for me Luka."
Luka wrapped her arms around Miku's shivering form, and cradled her head against her. "I… never… want… to… hear… say… that…again." Luka seethed through gritted teeth, infuriated that Miku would think so lowly of herself. Her thoughts rapidly turned to the woman she used to call her mother, and her overwhelming rage only grew when she remembered the vicious words that she'd spat at her girlfriend, the venom laced comments that ruined her precious Miku, comments that tainted her brain and pushed her into a seemingly never-ending pit of despair. "Please, don't do this to yourself; I can't bear to see you in pain."
Miku was too emotionally exhausted to reply, so she just shook her head against Luka's neck to imply that she still stood by her words. The events of yesterday and this morning had ravaged Miku's fragile body and shattered her composure. She could do nothing by weep into Luka's school shirt and greedily soak in the comfort Luka was all too happy to give her.
Then, the morning bell decided to go off, signalling that it was time for class, and for Miku to leave the warm confines of her girlfriend's arms. Miki and Gumi walked out into the hallway, but stopped when they realized Miku was still hugging the pinkette. "Umm… c'mon Miku-Chan, we've got to get to class." Miki informed, waiting at the door slightly impatiently, scared of being late.
Miku tried to pull away from Luka, but she couldn't find it in herself to detach from her girlfriend. She felt weak at the thought of leaving the safety of Luka's embrace, and so just melted deeper into her curvy body. "I… I can't..."
"You've got to go to class Miku, you can't stay out, you're not ill." Meiko pointed out, whilst gently trying to pry her apart from Luka.
Miku responded by tightening her grip on the pinkette and by crying harder than she had ever before. "I just can't, I'll die if I leave Luka."
"That's a bit overdramatic don't you…?" Meiko started, but was interrupted by the pinkette.
"It may be a little overdramatic, but… Miku has to stay." Luka butt in politely. "She's too fragile at the moment… she needs me."
Meiko observed the pair and concluded that what they were saying seemed about right. Miku was dangerously upset, so much so that her whole body was shaking, her breaths were ragged and laboured, and she looked as if she would collapse any minute. "I see what you mean." She conceded, looking at whiteness of Miku's knuckles caused by her desperate grip on the pinkette. "But… I don't know if I can let you stay. You're not technically ill and so I'm not sure if school policy allows me…"
Meiko stopped as she heard a particularly loud sob tear through the room, which let her see just how far gone the poor girl really was. "Couldn't you just say she's too emotionally unstable to attend class?" Luka suggested quietly, hoping that her solution would prove adequate for the predicament.
After a short moment of contemplation, Meiko decided that the only sensible thing to do was keep the two girls together, not caring about the potential ramifications she might have to deal with later. "I'll e-mail your teachers and inform them of your absence, okay?" She said softly.
Miku didn't respond, so Luka spoke for her. "Thank you Meiko, we really appreciate all your help." Luka backed up a little bit and sat herself down on the bed, adjusting Miku so that she was sitting across her lap. "I'll hopefully see you two later." She said weakly, waving Miki and Gumi off."
Once their friends had gone off to class, Luka tuned her attention back to the tealette in her arms. "Shh, please don't cry." She whispered as she stroked her long teal locks soothingly. Luka prepared herself for another long and torturous journey with the one she loved, holding Miku close and crying silently above her.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
For the best part of an hour, Miku had been a wreck and hadn't stopped weeping since her earlier outburst. Luka was still holding her close, whispering gentle, soothing phrases into her ear, rubbing her back softly and snuggling with the teal haired girl in an attempt to dam the river. She had tried everything, but Miku was still stuck in her own little black hole, seemingly unable to escape. Luka turned to the brunette in the room. "Is there anything you can do?"
Meiko turned around on her chair and witnessed the desperate look on the pinkette's features. "I wish there was; I hate seeing people in distress." Meiko stated worriedly. "The only thing I can think of for Miku to do is drink plenty of water. All the crying is really gonna take a toll on her body otherwise."
Luka nodded and retrieved a water bottle from her bag. She unscrewed with her teeth seeing as she didn't dare take both her hands off the broken girl in her arms, and held it up to her lips. "Here, drink some of this." Luka commanded softly.
The tealette pursed her lips and refused to take any of the refreshing liquid. "I'm ok, thanks…" She grumbled lowly, refusing because she didn't feel worth of something as simple as a drink of water, especially seeing as she was greedily hoarding Luka all for herself.
Luka mentally deduced why her girlfriend would take the beverage and she threw it to the floor in a fit of rage. She wasn't angry with Miku; just what Miku had become- a hopeless shell of her former self. Luka missed the times when she smiled, when she didn't hate herself, and she felt as if someone had just stolen Miku's soul and left a lifeless teal haired being behind. "Miku! Stop it, you're scaring me." She exploded, and for the first time in the last hour, the tealette pulled away from the protection and warmth of her girlfriend.
Miku looked at her girlfriend's flushed face, she looked in to her deep teal orbs that conveyed nothing but worry and concern for her and felt even worse for causing Luka to suffer with anxiety. "I'm sorry Luka, I just don't feel like I deser…"
Luka grabbed the tealette's face quite forcefully and began shaking her head around. "Snap out of it Miku. Please listen to me." She would have been afraid of hurting Miku, but she was so concerned about her mental health that she was willing to try anything at this point.
Oddly enough, the very uncharacteristic action from the reserved pinkette did break Miku's trance slightly, letting her see what state Luka was in because of her actions. Her rational side had a few seconds of unimpeded clarity, allowing Miku to rationalize that by crying she was making Luka upset; something that she obviously never wanted to happen. So even though she still felt guilty, greedy and despicable she stopped and gently rested her hands atop her girlfriend's, signalling to her to cease the almost violent motion that was jarring her neck. "Ok." Was all she could muster with words, but it was still enough to radically change the look on the distressed girl's features.
Luka took a moment to choose her words carefully, seeing as the slightest thing would probably set Miku off again. "Miku… I want you to forget everything Lucy said to you yesterday, and I want you to forget the idea that you don't deserve me, because the truth is the complete opposite." Luka uttered each word carefully and calmly, keeping her voice gentle and the mood somewhat mellow.
Miku nodded, a blank expression plastered on her face as she took in the information. "I-I'll try… I'll try for you." She hoarsely whispered, the continuous strained sobs had ravaged her throat and made it difficult to speak.
Luka smiled weakly, seeing as she was kind of hoping for a bit more enthusiasm than that. Nevertheless, Luka took solace in the fact that Miku was no longer crying herself into oblivion. She tentatively lowered her hands from the girl's cheeks and brought them around her body, and was somewhat pleased when she heard a disapproving mewl from Miku when the contact was severed. She slowly enveloped her emotional girlfriend, wrapping her up for the warmest and most tender cuddle they had probably ever shared. "I love you so much Miku, I always will. Never forget that." She whispered into the tealette's hair while inhaling as much as she could of the girl's sweet scent.
Miku enjoyed the care and compassion that was oozing from their embrace, and she was glad that she had someone as special as Luka to look after her, to protect her, she was thankful that Luka was amazing as she was. "I love you too." She snuggled deeper into Luka's body and let herself be completely ensnared within her grip, loving how firmly the older girl was holding her.
"Although, I'm still I bit angry with you." She exclaimed with a hint of playfulness present in her voice.
Without breaking apart from the shorter girl, Luka inquired into what Miku was talking about. "Angry? I haven't done anything for you to get angry about, have I?"
"Yeah, you got yourself beaten up by Lily for nothing." Miku clarified and separated from the pinkette to gauge her reaction.
"It wasn't for nothing; I did it so I could protect the girl I love… I did it for you." Luka explained instinctively as she retook her seat. "And so we could get Lily in trouble."
"Okay, aside from the protection bit it was a waste of time." The teal haired girl retorted, causing a look of confusion from the pinkette. "It was a waste of time because Lily is seemingly untouchable. She's gotten away with everything, and will probably get away with this as well." Miku explained with a defeatist attitude. "I don't think the head teacher knows how bad she really is."
Miku's words sparked a realization for Luka; she began to think of all the times that the blonde had bullied her, all the times she had been beaten, spat on and worse and realized that she never seemed to get any real punishment. And seeing as Lily would terrorize half the school on a daily basis, it seemed impossible to Luka that she hadn't already been kicked out. "Well… why don't we let him know?" She asked quietly, causing Miku's eyebrow to arch. "Why don't we go talk to Gakupo-sensei and show him all the damage she's caused?"
Luka's plan sounded pretty good; not only would it improve the odds of ridding their school of the dangerous blonde, but it could also give Miku an answer to a question that had always bugged her; exactly how the hell does she get away with it all? "Alright, let's go and see him." Miku agreed optimistically. "We can go can't we Meiko?"
"Um…yeah, just look after Luka; she might still feel a bit woozy." Meiko informed the tealette after checking Luka quickly.
Miku nodded obediently and lifted Luka from the tear stained bed sheets. "Now I'm the one who gets to look after you." She joked, successfully brightening up the mood, causing them to giggle slightly. They walked off slowly, as Luka was a bit wobbly on her feet and they eventually made it to the head teacher's office.
The purple haired man stood up abruptly when he heard light knocking coming from the hallway. He made his way around the desk and opened his door, startled by the sight before him. "What has happened here?" He asked immediately when he saw the head bandage Luka was sporting and when he saw Miku's red, baggy eyes and atrociously messy hair.
"Lily happened." Was all the tealette said, and she instantly registered the look of disgust, disappointment and shame on the seasoned teacher's features.
"Ah…I see." He responded calmly and motioned for the two girls to come inside. "I'm terribly sorry for her behaviour; she's getting worse and worse as of late. I only wish I could do something about it."
Luka took a seat next to the younger girl and faced the purple haired man. "That's what we came here to talk about; we were wondering if there is any chance you could expel her. And, if you don't mind me asking, why have haven't you done it yet, especially considering all her terrible behaviour."
A look of worry formed on the exceptionally tall man's features. "I have wanted to for some time now but… well… can you two keep a secret?"
Miku turned and faced Luka, registering the befuddled look similar to her own. "I guess we can." She replied hesitantly.
"Well, after Lily's first major demonstration of misbehaviour, I was ready to expel her then and there. But after talking it over with her parents, they begged me to let her stay and even offered money as an incentive." Gakupo revealed, much to the surprise of the pink and tealette's. "As I thought it was only a one-time thing, I took the money and funnelled it into the school to start up a music program, and let Lily stay. But time after time Lily would repeat her crimes and her father would offer more and more money to keep her in education."
"I can't believe it." Miku blurted incredulously, causing Gakupo to become more anxious. Miku noticed this and promptly remedied the situation. "I mean about Lily's father, not about you taking his money. As long as it was going back into the school then that's fine."
"Oh, I can assure you that every penny has gone to improving our facilities." The purple haired man said firmly, in an almost business-like manner. "But the thing is, Lily's misdemeanors happen so often that her father is almost out of money, and their family was forced to move into a dingy caravan. By the time Miku befriended her, they were already in major debt and struggling to even put bread on the table."
"Then how about you do everybody a favor and kick her out… sir." Luka started off at high volume, but toned it down when she remembered whom she was talking to. "If it saves them money and gets her off ours and everyone else back then it seems like the logical thing to do."
"I know, I know, it's not that simple, I'm her father's last hope at giving her an education, and he's done everything, given up everything trying to give his daughter a future." Gakupo replied, annoyance present in his voice.
Luka was desperate for a break from the blonde menace, and wasn't going to let the issue slip without a fight. "But look at what she's doing… what she's done to us; she made Miku into an emotional wreck, she's punched me to the pavement and is currently terrorizing your entire school." Luka spoke forcefully, giving each word meaning and energy.
Luka's commanding tone and sensible words were enough to finally let the purple haired man make a decision. "You know, you're right. These last few days have been hell; there's been more detentions, more trips to the nurse office and more disheveled children littering the halls than the rest of the year combined, and it's all Lily's doing." He stood up from his chair triumphantly as his inner conflict was resolved. "It's time to take action. Thank you Luka for helping me see; that speech was really something." He half-joked, causing the pinkette to blush faintly from the compliment.
"It's was nothing sir, but thanks anyway." She meekly replied as her shy side took over.
"Why don't you get back to the nurse's office and relax, both of you, I've got some important phone calls to make." He ordered, sitting back down and power typing out an e-mail.
"Alright. Thanks for the help Gakupo-sensei." Miku stood up and bowed curtly, before helping her recovering girlfriend back to the safety of slightly sake infused nurse office.

Both Miku and Luka were in much brighter moods and Luka was feeling better after she had got some much-needed sustenance into her system. She still requested to stay out of classes with Miku, and Meiko couldn't disagree when she saw how cute they looked together.
"What are you gonna be called when we take the school back?" Miku asked adorably as she finished the last of leek that Meiko had 'borrowed' from the school kitchen for her.
Luka shook her head in amusement. "I won't be called anything, I did what I did so that you could be the princess again, not me." She playfully punched the tealette's upper arm lightly.
"But after taking the hit for me, the least I can do is offer you my old position." She said with a beaming smile, one that Luka was ecstatic to see again. "Plus, that was my plan all along; to make you the most popular girl in the school."
Luka could see that the tealette was really serious, and the selfless act of kindness warmed her heart. "I appreciate the offer, I really do. But I can't be the school 'princess', I'm too shy, too nervous to be that popular."
Teal twin tails flapped around wildly as the owner of them shook her head defiantly. "That's not true. You stood up to Kaito for me and to Lily twice, and Gakupo liked your motivational speech. You're a natural leader Luka, you'd be perfect." Miku rationalized, making a good point that Luka couldn't really ignore.
"I suppose I did, but I only did that for you, I don't think I could do it for anyone else."
Miku beamed appreciatively. "You're so sweet Luka." Miku exclaimed joyously and promptly climbed onto the pinkette's lap, straddling her in the process. "I'm so glad your all mine."
Luka blushed slightly when Miku took up her somewhat indecent position on top of her. "What are you d-doing?" She nervously inquired, feeling her cheeks grow warmer.
"What do you mean?" The tealette asked innocently. Luka motioned with her eyes to their position, and after a few seconds, Miku picked up the pinkette's embarrassment. "I need to feel you close to me; I need to feel your body next to mine."
Luka half nodded in understanding. "I guess, but couldn't we just hug normally?" She wondered, feeling slightly uncomfortable knowing that Meiko was in the adjoining room and could walk in anytime.
"No, I need this… I need to be… intimate with you." Miku whispered as her hands travelled up and down Luka's back. "I need you." She added in a sensual tone, eyes glittering.
The rose tinge quickly shifted to a full-face blush. "Miku, we can't do anything now, not here." She scolded. Miku continued to explore her body relentlessly, knowing that she could make the reserved pinkette snap eventually. "I-I want to but it's too dangerous, you know that."
Miku didn't care at this point; she had been through so much crap over the last few days and she hadn't even had the time or the opportunity to be with the girl she loved. "But I feel so… deprived, almost like you don't want me..." Miku said with a pout, knowing full well how to manipulate the older girl.
Without even needing to think, Luka pulled Miku in for a quick kiss in an effort to disprove the tealette's statement. "How do you think I feel- I've been blessed with the prettiest girl in the world and I barely even get to kiss her?" She rhetorically questioned.
A mischievous grin formed on Miku's lips. "Well… I think I know how to solve both our problems." She snaked her arms around the pinkette's neck and gently pulled their bodies together. She took a moment to lose herself in Luka's lustrous teal orbs before tentatively pressing her lips to the taller girl's.
Luka's brain was telling her to stop; telling her to break away before they got caught, but all the logic in the world wasn't enough to make her do it. Luka relished in the subtly saccharine taste of her girlfriend's lips; a taste that in her opinion was the sweetest she'd ever tasted. Luka brought her arms around the tealette's waist and adjusted her position so that they were pressed firmly up against each other.
Miku drowned in the oh-so-inviting heat from the taller girl's body and was relieved to hear no objections to their actions. She nervously licked the pinkette's lower lip; silently asking for entrance and was all too happy when her request was approved.
Luka took the inexperienced tongue in to her mouth and let it slowly explore every inch. She let one of hands slide down the younger girl's back until it reached the fabric of her skirt, where she gripped one of her butt checks apprehensively; slightly anxious that Miku wouldn't approve of the gesture. Her other hand gripped needily to the back of Miku's head, gently pulling on the teal locks that resided there.
When Miku felt the light pressure on the lower portion of her body her heart instinctively picked up speed, and their kiss only grew in passion. Miku gradually relinquished her slow pace and began to kiss more hungrily, and was delighted to feel the pinkette's tongue warring back.
Luka knew that they shouldn't go any further while in school, but her usually keen mind was been silenced by the primal desires she never knew she had. She reluctantly broke the kiss before lying down on the bed, wordlessly asking for the tealette to follow suit.
Miku smiled when she saw the look on Luka's face; one of need and desire but also of apprehension. She lowered herself down on to the adorable pink haired girl and resumed her earlier action, this time more lustfully than ever seeing as she was unbelievably turned on by their current position.
"I love you Miku." The pinkette gasped when their lips separated for a brief moment. Instead of answering, Miku just purred and tucked her face into the crook of Luka's neck, where she laid down needy kisses along the pale skin.
Just as things were seemingly about to get out of hand, just as Luka's was about to dip into the tealette's skirt, a loud knocking came from the little office next to them and they separated in a flash. Meiko had seen what they were doing through the semi-translucent glass and hadn't wanted to embarrass them by bursting in. "C-come in." Luka called out weakly, hastily sorting out her hair that Miku wandering hands had explored.
Meiko walked in with a slight blush on her cheeks, pretty much letting pink and teal know that she'd seen them. "I er… well I just…"She started a little awkwardly.
"Sorry Meiko-san." Miku apologized promptly for their somewhat inappropriate behaviour. "I just couldn't keep my hands off her." She said more to Luka than to the brunette, causing a sheepish smile to form on both hers and Luka's features.
"It's fine, it doesn't really bother me, I just wanted to stop you before anyone else caught you." She explained. "Especially seeing as it's almost lunch time; I'm sure we'll have another victim of Lily's pretty soon."
"Thanks for the heads up." Luka said as she packed up her belongings. "Why don't we go and wait for everyone in the cafeteria?"

"What do you think about Princess Luka?" Miku asked openly to the table.
Luka sighed audibly and was about to intervene, but Miki beat her to it. "I'm not sure, I don't think Luka is the princess type."
"Thank you Miki. See, I told you." Luka said triumphantly to the tealette. However, little did she know, her smile was about to be wiped away completely.
"I think it should be Queen Luka!" The ahodged girl suggested to the group, causing the whole group, including the normally stoic Kagamine's to smile in agreement.
"It's settled then." Miku declared. "In a few days we will all be ruled by Queen Luka."
Luka could do nothing but huff and puff as her attempts at rejecting the proposal were impeded as soon as she started them. "Stop thinking so far ahead; there's no guarantee that Lily will be expelled. Don't get your hopes up."
Miku was about to keep teasing her partner, but froze when she saw the rather unwelcome sight of Lily approaching. "What the hell did you do?" She asked angrily as she marched over to their table. "Why am I being told that I have to stay after school?"
Miku knew precisely as to why Lily was being retained, but she feigned ignorance to keep everyone at the table safe. "I have no idea, didn't they tell you?"
"No, they just said to go and see Gakupo once school has finished." She revealed with a bemused tone, annoyed that she hadn't gotten the answer she wanted from the tealette. "They also said that you had two had to come too, so I assume that you've got something to do with this."
Luka grimaced at the thought of being confined in a room with Lily when she received the news. "Maybe it's because of what you did this morning." Luka offered a tad bitterly.
Lily had the overwhelming urge to let loose on the arrogant pinkette, but she didn't really see that as a smart move. Unbeknownst to her, Gakupo had set up a legion of teachers to monitor the blonde, just in case she caught wind of his plans and went crazy. "You're lucky that all the teachers are around to protect you." She simple muttered before walking off without her questions being answered.
For the rest of the lunch period, Luka and Miku were forced to worry about their upcoming encounter, and forced to ponder as to why they even need to be there in the first place.

After attending afternoon classes, both Miku and Luka nervously exited their classrooms, with Luka leaving at amazing speed to escape the blonde who she shared a lesson with. Luckily for Luka, the tealette's classroom wasn't far from hers and they met up mere seconds after the bell had gone. "Are you okay; you look a little out of breath?" Miku inquired nervously.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I wanted to get away from Lily as fast as possible, that's all." Luka replied between short pants. "C'mon, let's go and see what Gakupo-sensei wants." Without waiting for an answer, Luka grabbed the tealette's hanging appendage and whisked her off down the corridor, hoping to avoid an unpleasant run-in with the fired up blonde.
"Ah, I'm glad you're here." Gakupo exclaimed, relived when he saw the distinctive heads of hair pop around the corner.
"Y-you wanted to see us?" The taller girl questioned a bit shakily.
"Yes, I wanted you to meet Lily's father; I wanted to show him what his daughter is really capable off." The purple haired man exclaimed. "I hope that's okay with you, it hopefully won't take too long.
Pink and teal nodded in unison. "Anything to rid us of her menace is fine with us."
Just at that moment, Lily arrived, glaring daggers at the nervous couple. "What's this all about Gakupo?" She questioned, annoyed.
Without answering, the tall man opened the door to his office and ushered everyone inside. There were four identical chairs, one of which was occupied a balding man, whose remaining hairs had faded to a pale gray. He was dressed in scruffy, almost tattered clothing and wore a glum look in his face. "Please, take a seat." He ordered politely to the three girls as he walked around his desk. "Lawrence…your daughter is getting worse and is showing no signs of improving. Just look at the damage she has caused to one of our most prized students." He addressed the solemn man and directed his attention to the now blushing pinkette. "Lily knocked her to the floor and caused a serious injury."
The man named Lawrence turned and looked at his daughter disappointedly. "Why Lily? Why do you keep doing this?" he asked gloomily.
The defiant blonde just laughed at him. "Because she deserved it, because it's fun, because I can. The list is endless." She offered.
The distraught man brought his hand up to his forehead and tried to massage away the building migraine with his thumb and forefinger. "I-I haven't got m-much, but what's it gonna cost me this time?" He asked the purple haired man, desperation and angst clear in his voice.
"I'm sorry, I can't take any more money, it's not fair on you." Gakupo started, but was interrupted by a slightly blubbering gray haired man. Gakupo didn't want to let the situation get out of hand, but he didn't want to hurt the man who he had become good friends with over the past year or so. "That's enough Lawrence; it's for your own good."
"W-what's going to happen t-then?" Lawrence questioned through tears, knowing already what the likely outcome was.
"I have no choice but to exclude your daughter from the school for three days. During that time we'll figure out what to do with her, but the most likely outcome will be permanent expulsion." He said coldly, trying to detach himself from his emotions so he could do what was necessary. "I'm sorry that it has to be that way, but she is too dangerous to keep here any long…"
"Fine!" The disheveled man shouted. "If you really want to ruin her life, then go ahead."
Gakupo shook his head disapprovingly. "It's not me who's ruining it, it's her Lawrence." He said softly, trying to calm the livid man down. "And she's ruining everyone else's to… look." He motioned over of the pair of quiet girls.
Lawrence took no heed of the purple haired man's words and grabbed his daughter roughly by the wrist. "Let's go." He seethed, yanking the blonde up from the chair and pulling her out of the large office, slamming the door on his way out.
Miku and Luka turned to each other; both grinning stupidly at the fact that Lily's presence was no more. They were ecstatic to have that terrible weight on their shoulders lifted, and overjoyed that from tomorrow they would be able to start working on taking back the school, putting it in the right hands once more.

Finally, that blonde menace is finally gone… or is she? All will be revealed in the next chapter.
Let me know what you thought, and also let me know if you'd like to see another Miku x Luka story from me. Luka will be a nervous teacher and Miku will be the overly popular, overly intelligent and overly teasing student. If you would like to see that then give me some feedback, and if it gets enough support then it'll probably be out in a fortnight
