This is a relatively-fast update for us! 8D I think we'll be done soon, so hold out just a little longer, the story's almost over~!
"Y-you mean...?" Miku was pale and shivering slightly, and I couldn't blame her. In fact, I was in about the same condition.
"I know it sounds far fetched... but I think we picked up the curse." My head hurt from all the confusion.
"It does sound farfetched," she agreed, "but there's really no other explanation. I mean, we're both hearing these strange voices, calling each other's names… We can't just make that up, right?"
"Right." I fell forward in irritation. "I can't freaking believe this." Suddenly, there was an extremely bad pounding in my head, and I felt dizzy. I grabbed at my head as if it was going to make it stop.
"Luka? What's wrong? Luka?" That was the last thing I heard before I passed out.
xXxXx
I was in Nowhere again, and everything was black. Then, I saw Eileen in front of me. She was looking away from me.
"HEY! You!" I started to run towards her, but no matter how much I ran she was always the same distance away. Then she held up her hand.
Wait. It didn't seem like her speaking, since the voice was coming from everywhere. Your friend will be here soon.
Sure enough, Miku was suddenly next to me, looking just as confused. "Luka? W-what's going on?"
"I don't know, but I think we're about to find out."
As I said that, Michaela appeared next to Eileen, and the two started walking towards us. I backed away a bit, but just as before, it appeared only they were actually moving in the relative space.
Once they were in a comfortable position to be talking to us, they stopped. "Well, well, well," Eileen said, clapping mockingly. "You figured it out, and so very soon too. Hello, Miku, Luka. I would introduce ourselves, but you already know who we are, no?"
"I'm almost surprised you learned it so fast," Michaela said. "But I'm not, not really. There was a reason we picked you two, and it wasn't just the chemistry."
Miku trembled. "Why are you doing this?"
Eileen spoke next. "My dear, it's to get revenge on those who did us wrong. We can't do it ourselves because we're merely spirits now, so we need your help."
Michaela said the next line, and I was reminded of a certain set of twins. "Help us get rid of them. You know who they are, already. If you help us, you will be rewarded."
"No!" I yelled suddenly. "We're not killing anyone!"
Eileen made a tut tut sound. "Oh, dear, we were only asking if you would do it willingly. As for if you're killing anyone, you have no choice."
"B-but..." Miku stuttered.
"No buts," Michaela said. "Trust me, dears, they deserve it." She turned to Eileen. "How do you think we should kill them?"
"How about long and torturous, like our own deaths?"
"Sounds like a good plan to me!"
"WAIT!" I screamed at them, and they turned to look at me. "Why would you kill them?"
"We went over this already. Revenge."
"But they don't deserve this!" Miku yelled at them.
"Hmm..." Eileen pondered mockingly. "Nope, still think they do."
But before we could even argue any more, the two seemingly disintegrated into nothing. It was terrifying, to tell the truth. Then Miku turned to me, and had a horrified look on her face. I looked down and noticed I was disintegrating too, and flipped out. Everything faded to black.

I woke up on my couch, gasping for air and heart pounding. I felt rather dazed, but mostly, there was a feeling of dread.
Things just got serious.
Miku woke up after me, and I realized a bit late she was lying on top of me. I quickly helped her sit up (considering she seemed even more dazed than I was), and then we looked each other in the eye, about to say something; make a plan or just scream our heads off at the horror book plot we'd been stuffed into, I wasn't sure.
But whatever it was, they got to us before we could do anything. I should've known not to look into her eyes.
Suddenly, I was kissing her again, and I lost my mind. I couldn't control any of my movements, so even if I wanted to (and I'll admit that I slightly didn't want to) I couldn't pull away. She started to shift a bit, and suddenly, before I knew it, I had her pinned under me against the couch.
Things were getting out of hand quickly, and I was frantically searching my mind for any way to break Eileen's spell over my actions. But it seemed Miku was quicker than I was- she quickly shut her eyes, and I remembered that if I didn't make eye contact then we wouldn't wind up like this. I shut my eyes too, and gradually feeling control over my body again, I pulled away. I made sure I was looking away before I opened my eyes again.
"…Sorry?" I offered, feeling the awkward silence.
"No, no…" Miku answered. More awkward silence. Then… "Luka… what are we going to do?"
For what seemed like the countless time since she got here, I didn't have the answer.
xXxXx
The next week or so was a blur. We tried to fight our way through it. Luckily, though I still had murderous urges, they weren't enough to make me run up to the desk of the student who was bothering me and stab them. Eileen and Michaela must've been planning something big considering they were holding out.
Days dragged on. Gakupo seemed to grow more attached to Kaito, as he could no longer run to me. I noticed that Miku seemed a little sad too, because now the Kagamines had started avoiding her. And I was nearly flunking History because the entire lesson I was focused on not wanting to murder the teacher.
Our experience, luckily enough, served as enough inspiration for our Music class song, and we performed the original "One Step Layered" to the rest of the class. They were mildly impressed, to put it nicely, as they were much more taken by the Kagamine's song "Kokoro . Kiseki" (and well, they deserved it anyways). It was probably for the best, I figured; that meant they wouldn't have any clue as to what we were going through. Not that they would have anyways, mind you, we kept it very vague as to the relation to our situation.
Each day was torture, though. It seemed each day, I found myself wanting Miku's touch more and more, and even though I knew it was just the curse, it drove me insane. I couldn't even look into her eyes for fear we'd get into another bad situation, or that we'd lose all control and Eileen and Michaela would finally take over and lead us to murder.
But the worst part was the dreams. Each night, running through a forest, only to meet Miku in a clearing. Then, Miku would turn into Michaela, and I assume I became Eileen although I couldn't see or feel any change. Then, the five that we were told to hunt wound up in the clearing, and we'd both go back to back and lash out, and I'd wake up screaming, covered in sweat that felt like the victim's blood.
I knew it would snap soon, and snap it did.
Where'd all our old reviewers go? Did you guys die from lack of this story? COME BACK, I HAVE PLOT! /slapped for begging
Anyways, the point of that being we appreciate reviews.
