((In this chapter I will switch between point of views for the first time))

The rest of the week finally passed and it was finally the day in which me and Miku would go to her concert. It was just here in Tokyo so we didn't have to go far but we were still busy getting ready in the morning, even though the concert was going to be at night. "Alright, make sure you have everything, I'm going to go load my over-night-bag into the car." I said to her from the other side of the house. "Ok I'm almost done, but why are we loading over night bags?" She called back. "Because we will be staying in a hotel tonight" I answered back. "Why? You could just drive home?" She said while sounding confused. "I don't know, it makes me feel like I'm actually fancy" I said while ending it with a laugh.

We loaded up the bags and prepared the house to be left alone for the night and then got in my car to go to the location where the concert would be held inside a large building. We only had a few hours left until she needed to be ready to go on stage so we went inside and I claimed my backstage pass while we got acquainted with the stage management and the band that would play along with her.

With all the preparations being made time flew by and before I knew it, Miku was just about to go on stage where she would be seen for the first time in public by thousands of fans that started to form their mass in front of the stage an hour ago. I was only backstage looking at her performance from a cameras view. It was amazing, she sang a lot of older songs and newer ones but each time she played on of my favorites I melted. I use to always think that when it came to music, a humans voice simply complimented the true beauty of the instruments. Until I found Hatsune Miku, for once in my life I felt that every instrument in every song could only simply compliment that of her voice. It felt like nothing could equal in beauty when compared to her singing, she was of course a program that was meant to sing almost perfectly but to me she was always more than a program or software.

I continued to watch as she sang more and more songs, some of which I loved. The top songs from back then like World is Mine and Melt. It all made me smile, I felt so uplifted from hearing her sing. The crowd was wild though considering they never saw their own idol in the flesh, the whole experience was bliss.

Eventually the show was over and Miku came back stage and prepared to leave. When she was ready I told her I had to grab something real quick. "That's fine, I'll go meet you at the car." She said while walking out the back door where she would have to go around the building to get to the car.

*Mikus POV*

I walked outside and closed the door then stopped and took a deep breath. "That was fun" I told myself while beginning to walk. I turned the corner of the building where I saw a mysterious man leaning against the building. "Hey girl, that was a pretty nice performance" he said while smiling. "Oh, thank you! I enjoyed it" I said while giggling a little. "Yeah, I'm sure there's a lot that you would enjoy" the man said while laughing in his own devious way. During this whole conversation I noticed he was twirling a butterfly knife around his hands, doing flashy tricks with it. "I was wondering, how about me and you get a little more, well acquainted?" He said after a little silence between the two while moving closer. I felt uncomfortable as the atmosphere around me seemed to exert unseen tension and I started to slowly move backward with any step he took forward. "N-no thanks! I'm fine" I said. "No girl, I insist. Come on, how do you know you won't like it if you never try it?" The mysterious man asked. I was about to respond when all of a sudden I was grabbed from behind as a arm wrapped around the lower part of my rib cage and the other arm protectively put on the top of my head. "She knows because she's with someone else" the new recognizable voice said from behind as I felt his head rest on the arm placed on top of my head. I looked up as much as I could and immediately recognized him as Christian. "Aw girl, so you hangin' out with low life's like this guy? Forget this then, Miku ain't worth my time" the man said while walking off. It was easy to tell his last comment was just so that he didn't have to feel like his ego was just spit on.

Christians protective hands released me and I turned around to face him. "I told you to be careful" he said while looking at me with a bland expression. "I know but...I didn't know what to expect." I said in response. "Well now you do. I should've known you'd run into some creep if I let you go to the car on your own. I'm glad I didn't waste time dallying in there" he said while putting his arm around me to escort me to his car. I wanted to respond but for a moment, but I was so happy to see him. I know nothing had happened yet, but when that man started approaching me, I started to panic on the inside...but when Christian grabbed me, and when I heard his voice in such a protective tone...I felt. Safe. It could've turned a lot worse if he didn't show up...

We got to the car and as we buckled in and was about to drive off I turned and looked at Christian. I felt immature for what I was thinking but it made me wonder. "So how come you told that man we were together?" I asked, not trying to sound offended because I really wasn't. "Hmm? Oh right. It's just, I know his type really. They don't have much respect for people's boundaries and that particular one looked like he had lust in his eyes, I knew he wouldn't buzz off unless he knew a more protective figure was around to cause him trouble if he acted up." He responded while continuing to look at the road. The hotel wasn't too far from where the indoor concert was held, only a little farther up the road. I was embarrassed yet again from my thoughts but I pushed on. "Did it bother you that you had to lie about that?" I asked while blushing and looking the other way. "Ha! Not at all! I would be more concerned about you getting hurt by that guy anyways." Christian said while looking over to me and flashing a smile. It wasn't any ordinary smile though, it seemed so real, genuine, like he was actually happy for once. I felt like reality paused for a brief moment but caught my breath again while having a brief internal melt down. Are AIs even suppose to feel this way? What is this? I asked myself in my head all the way to the hotel until I came to the conclusion I would have to accept it. We unloaded everything and went inside to be welcomed with a lobby that had beautiful decor. "Excuse me, we have a room that was reserved for us this night." Christian said to the man at the counter. "Ah, yes, what are your names and I'll need your e-mail to verify the reservation." The man responded. "I'm Christian and this is Hatsune Miku-" Christian almost finished before being cut off. "Why of course! The well known, famous Hatsune Miku! Now I remember your reservation! No need to give me your E-mail just go up to floor 3 at room 178" the man said while putting two room cards on the table. We went up on the elevator and found our room where we were welcomed again to a beautiful room. It was quite large with two queen sized beds.

"This is nice. They have free breakfast and Wi-Fi too" Christian said while examining the room. "Yeah, that does sound nice." I said while smiling, particularly in Christians direction as he was unaware. I didn't know what to think of my emotions back in the car, but I didn't want to care about it. He doesn't show it often, but I can tell he cares too.
