I just watched Akuma no Riddle ep 6. My ship just sank.
Down to the bottom of the sea.
OTP dead. *bangs head on the table
The spring wind rustled through the leaves and fluttered among the entire vicinity of the academy. Students were scattered everywhere, mostly were in the cafeteria but some prefer quiet areas with fresher air and provide tranquility like under the shade of the trees. Miku, together with Len and Rin, still ate at their usual spot, up at the rooftop where they could see the bird's eye view of the whole school. There were still thirty minutes until the bell rings so Miku took this opportunity to take a quick nap.
"Miku! Don't sleep right after you eat!" Rin, the more energetic twin, scolded the teallete as she kept poking her cheek.
"That's right, you'll turn into a cow." Len, the more relaxed twin, added as he sipped his banana juice.
"I highly doubt that. A few minutes wouldn't hurt, right?" Miku replied drowsily. She folded her blazer and made it into her pillow.
"A few minutes wouldn't hurt, my ass!" The blonde repeated. "The last time you said that you slept for three whole hours! When you woke up, class already ended!" She puffed out her cheeks like a squirrel.
"But I didn't sleep well last night." Miku whined to the twins.
"And why is that, little princess?" Rin asked folding her arms, patience wearing thin.
"I already told you." Miku blushed and covered her face. "I don't want to repeat myself."
I kept thinking about Luka's face that I didn't get enough sleep.
"I give up." The blonde threw her arms up in exasperation. "Lenny, it's your turn. Switch." Giving Len a high-five, meaning it was his turn to persuade Miku.
The blonde crouched and scrunched his eyes. "I get that Luka-san told you to get some sleep, but that doesn't mean you should sleep right at this moment." Miku still wasn't budging and the twins sighed.
"You're so spoiled, Miku." Rin rested her head on Miku's lap. "But, I've got to admit. This is pretty relaxing."She looked up to the sky and watched as the clouds danced around, every second shifting its shape and relentlessly move on.
Len sat beside them and continued to sip his banana juice. That's one weird flavour but he seems to be enjoying it. What a peaceful day.
"I've been thinking." The male blonde started, he looked to both the girls. "Megurine, that name rings the bell."
Rin sat upright, surprising her twin. "I know! I know! Me-gu-ri-ne. I think I've seen that name somewhere before." Rin thought as she rested her cheek on her palm.
"Megurine… Is that…? No. But maybe it's… Nah, nopety nope nope." Rin mumbled under her breath.
"Luka? Why? " Miku questioned.
"Hey, Rinny." The male blonde interrupted his sister's constant mumbling and ignored Miku's curiosity. "Did you finish yesterday's homework?" He asked, a bead of sweat rolling down from his right temple down to his chin. Last night, he convinced himself that he can probably finish the homework the next day but completely forgot about it. This might be a gamble, but he really hoped that his sister managed to complete the assigned work. He can always hope, right?
"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Worry not, dearest brother."Rin was waving her index finger. Is this really happening? "For, I, Kagamine Rin, have indeed finished our homework last night!" She boldly declared, her ribbon bounced up and down with excitement. She earned herself a minute of adoration from Len and Miku.
"You touched your homework, Rin?" Miku propped herself with her elbows. "You're allergic to them!"
"Hehe! Nothing is more powerful than, I, Kagamine Rin!"
"Can I copy your homework then?" His brother begged, his eyes sparkling. He couldn't believe that Rin would actually do her homework. It was always him, but now, he can copy off from his sister at long last!
"How dare you speak without permission, Knave!" Rin shouted, demanding authority. It was one of those days that the twins would randomly play Queen and Servant. This was one of those days. If Miku was a princess, Rin was, obviously, the almighty Queen. While Len played as the pitiful Servant. "Please forgive my transgressions, dear Queen. I don't know what came over me." Len continued his role-play.
Rin sneered at his brother and proudly stood, pressing her index and middle finger to her lips, forming a slight V-shape. "I'll forgive you for that slip-up." She tilted her brother's head. "But make sure you won't repeat that blunder, 'kay?"
And they're still at it. "Yes, my Queen. Again, I deeply apologize." Rin snickered as she crouched next to Miku. She fished her pockets and stole her phone.
"What're you going to do with that?" Miku questioned the bossy blonde, she kept one eye open.
"Just a little… something… Ah! There you go, princess." She placed the phone on Miku's stomach and dusted herself. "Say hi to Megurine-san for us, 'kay?"
"Bye, Miku." Both twins chorused and waved farewell. Miku could still hear them and she heard Rin shouting at her poor brother.
"Hurry up, Knave! We don't have much time!"
Miku checked her phone and saw that Rin set up an alarm 10 minutes from now. The teallete beamed and lie down. Her thoughts were too occupied last night. It was filled with thoughts pertaining to her prince who magically became her mentor. It was just too easy. How can she agree just like that? Were there any more reasons? The real reason she wasn't able to sleep was definitely because of what the brunette had told her that night.
Miku, you like Luka.
She thought about Luka all night long. How beautiful she was. How she can carry herself with grace with the air of superiority surrounding her. How her silky, pink locks swayed as she walked. How her glances make Miku's heart throb so much that it hurt. How her words make her insides twist and turn. How her alluring voice made her shudder. Miku thought about other people that she had a crush on before but none of them compared to what Luka was. Miku had finally begun to realize her feelings towards her prince. Now, she couldn't wait until class was over.
Luka, I want to see you…
Luka was still sleeping, she had only been asleep for a few hours. Her nightmares kept on waking her up in the wee hours of the night. Sure her body clock wasn't normal plus her insomnia, but it did give her a few, measly hours of sleep.
The mystery sender still kept in touch with her and sent her messages, all stating 'Get some sleep' at the end. Lately, her nightmares kept repeating over and over. It was always the same scene, sometimes it was different but all were connected. It was her childhood trauma. Her horrible fears that made her limbs paralyzed everytime she recalls it. Luka curled under the covers and reached for her back. It was still there.
And it will never disappear…
Slowly, she drifted off to sleep, trying her hardest to fall into deep slumber.
"She doesn't have to be here!" A man banged his fist on the table. Luka overheard the discussion inside the large room. The door was kept ajar but the gap was too small to notice.
"We have to get rid of her!" Another one said.
What are they talking about? - Luka thought. She knew her place but she still eavesdropped throughout the whole discussion.
"Be quiet! Someone might hear you." The first man said to the other. The man fixed his tie and pinched the bridge of his nose.
In the middle of the room, an old man, in his mid-sixties was calmly seated. He wore a black suit and his grey hair was swept back, smooth and slick. He was probably the boss, the aura surrounding him was far too overpowering.
"Sir, what should we do?"
"No need to worry." His voice was audible enough for only them to hear.
"I have it all under control…"
"Not again."
Luka was staring at the ceiling with her eyes completely tired from everything. It was already 3 in the afternoon. I guess she had her sleep. Well, a little. She went to take a shower and prepped herself for the day. She went downstairs and ate her favorite tuna. She cleaned the 'special room', baked some cookies, and ordered the best ice cream from the Family Mart.
"She should be here any minute now." Luka, too, wondered why in the world would she agree to something as ridiculous as mentoring a highschool girl. Clearly, she wasn't thinking when she said that. But deep down, her conscience tapped her, persuading her to take on the challenge which was totally out of character.
You are Megurine Luka.
A rasp on the door and Luka knew Miku was there.
You shall do as I say.
Luka stood and answered the door, usual pat on the head and welcomed Miku to her home. Miku was bright red and as energetic as ever. Luka motioned her to the sofa and asked what she would like to drink. 'Iced tea' was her answer and Luka headed to the kitchen.
You are Megurine Luka.
"Luka, I'll help you with that." Her high-pitched voice snapped Luka out of her thoughts. Miku followed Luka to the kitchen and brought over the snacks. The teallete quickly noticed how Luka was shaking. It wasn't too much, it was more of a shiver, her hands were clammy, and her eyes were darting from here and there. It was as if her nightmare came out of her head.
And it was just that.
You shall do as I please.
"Are you ok, Luka?" Miku held her cold hand and stopped infront of her. It felt sweaty and was slightly trembling.
"So, where do you want to study?" Luka asked the teallete, brushing off her comment. "The living room is fine but you can use my Study if you want the atmosphere to be more-"
You should have never been born.
Her head was spinning; it felt like a vise was clamping her whole body. She could feel her temples pumping furiously, her chest in an overdrive, and her body was unable to move. Her breathing went haywire so she rested half of her body to the wall for support grasping for air.
'Luka! What's wrong?" Miku frantically gripped her hand harder. "Luka? Tell me, what's wrong?"
Don't show your weakness, especially to her…
"I just… need to… check something… upstairs…" The pinkette said in between huffs. It was a little white lie but a part of it was the truth. Her inhaler was in her room. She just needed time to compose herself before she can face Miku again.
Miku helped Luka stand on her two feet. Miku felt troubled and it was written all over her face. "I'll come with you."
"No, I can… manage."
"But-"
"Please, just… stay here, okay? I'll be down… in a minute or so." Luka reassured her by giving a crooked grin and a touch on the cheek. It felt colder than it was before. "I'll be fine."
"No!" Miku cried surprising the older woman. "Please, let me help you." Miku was in the brink of tears.
Ah, I made her cry…
Miku let her sit down and asked what to bring from upstairs. She hurriedly climbed to the spiral staircase, rapidly taking the item and came back down in a flash, all that less than a minute.
You are Megurine Luka.
"Sorry about that." Luka apologized as she comforted Miku.
"Geez, Luka. Don't scare me like that!" Miku latched on her arm cheeks wet with tears.
"I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you some other time." Luka poked her small nose. Miku pouted, her cheeks were pinkish in colour.
"Maybe we should skip lessons for today. You probably need some rest." Miku suggested, touching the part of her nose where Luka just poked. Before Luka could answer, there were heavy knocks on the door. It was more of a rhythmic knock, a code of some sort.
One- two- three
Stop
One-two
Stop
"I'll get that for you, Luka." Miku chirped. Luka was more than ready to answer the door and was forcefully sat down by the smaller girl pushing her shoulders down, preventing her from standing up. "I won't forgive you if you push yourself." She threatened.
"But-"
"No buts."
Tables turned and it was Miku who was now in charge or so she thought. Luka hugged Miku's bag from the table and arched her brows. Well, she was right, though. She needed time to recuperate and pushing yourself would only make matters worse than it already is.
"I'm coming!" The knocking went on and on until Miku answered the door. "Who is it?"
"Lulu-chan!" Miku was crushed between two slender arms that can sure pack a punch. It was heavy yet slim. The sudden weight of both individuals resulted them crashing down on the cold floor.
"Lulu-chan! I've missed you so much! Did you miss me, too? Huh? Huh? Lulu-chan~!" This person rubbed her entire face on the crook of Miku's neck similarly like a cat would or rather a dog. Miku was very ticklish when it comes to any part on her neck.
"Um excuse me, but I'm not the person you're looking for!" Miku finally said in frustration. The person immediately stopped and stared at her. Miku marveled at the beauty on top of her. Luscious blonde locks, long eyelashes, bright blue eyes that sparkled with passion and her scent that smelled like fresh lemon. She was glamorous.
Uwaaaah…
"Lily! What do you think you're doing assaulting her like that?" Luka finally stepped in on the scene helping Miku up.
"Lulu-chan!" She jumped and ran charged on the taller woman. She acted the same way as before, rubbing her whole face on the crook of her neck but now, she was sniffing it.
"Ahh… I just love the way you smell, Lulu-chan." the blonde confessed as her hands roamed around the pinkette's waist. She cupped Luka's face with both of her hands and started kissing her. From her left cheek, to the right cheek, her forehead, her nose and lastly her-
"Mmpph!" Her lips were caught in Luka's icy cold hand.
"How rude can you get?" Luka was not amused in what her companion was doing to her.
"Aww, Lulu-chan~ don't be so shy, I know you've missed me~" Lily, from what has Luka called her, sighed as she started to do it all over again.
"Enough. Can't you even introduce yourself properly?" Luka's eyes darted to Miku.
"Ooh, what do we have here?" Lily released her grip and stepped towards the confused teallete.
"I, uh, I'm Hatsune Miku. Nice to meet you." She gripped her skirt hard.
"I see, I see! Miku-chi! Don't be so stiff! I won't bite." Lily patted Miku's shoulder with a mischievous smirk. "Well, allow me to introduce myself." She giggled and gave a peck on Luka's cheek.
"I'm Masuda Lily. You can call me Lily, I don't mind. Also…"She giggled the same as before but this time, it sent chills down to her spine. It sounded wrong. It was as if she was mocking her.
"I'm Lulu-chan's girlfriend."
Miku couldn't bear to watch all of this. Her prince was being taken away from her. And she had only just come in terms with her feelings towards her. It was all disappearing, right in front of her eyes.
Oh noes. A rival. Oh noes. Miku. Nuuuu
Im still depressed._(;3/L)_ they were so perfect but then bye bye no more.
