Rin's P.O.V
Today is the day. We had been practicing for so long yet I was still very nervous.
I remembered when we went to Len's house two days ago... I had fainted and I somehow ended up in Len's room. When I woke up, the room was empty but the spot beside me was still warm. I smiled and my heart fluttered at the thought of Len sitting beside me, watching over me. Then we all quickly left the house as soon as Len's mom said she had made more cookies...
Back to the talent show thing... I am so not nervous about singing in front of a lot of people. Nope, and I am not lying.
"Stop fretting! You will be fine!" Haku stated as she helped me fix my bow.
I looked at the clock in my room. It was 5:30... One hour to go.
"Arrrgh, I hope Len doesn't mess up! If he messes up I will personally shove the bananas he brings to lunch down his throat! Then, when he is dead I will throw the body down a trench!" I exclaimed.
Haku stared at me like I had gone crazy. "Since when is little Rinny a sadist?"
"Eh? Sadist? No, no, no, let's not confuse things. I am merely planning his soon to be punishment for when he makes us look bad in front of the whole school!"
"If you say soo~" she sang and took a step back to look at me, "Ahhh, you look so pretty-"
"Thank you bu-" I was cut off by my silver-haired friend who proceeded to glomp the air out of me.
"Hfffkfffu! Cammffft breaffe!" I yelled into her chest.
"Oops, sorry!"
Once I regained my breathing I looked in the mirror. I was wearing the same clothes that Len had bought me from the mall. The same sweater with three different colors: white, orange, and yellow…The same leggings and sneakers. The yellow star earrings and necklace shone and sparkled in the light. I took one final glance at my reflection, feeling butterflies in my stomach. I shouldn't be worried about Len messing up; I'M the one who I should be worried about!
"Rrriiiin~ let's gooooo! Len and your friends will get mad if you make them waiiit!" Haku whined.
"Fine, fine, let's go..." I muttered.
"Ahhhh my Rinny is going to siiiinnng!" She chirped as she skipped down the halls, "Good thing I bought a new camerrra~"
"Haku you wouldn't dare..." I eyed her warily.
"I would," she retorted and kept skipping, totally happy with life.
"I'll be back late!" She yelled out to the staff.
"Yes, Ms. Haku!"
"Come on Rinny Rin Rin we have to go!" She said and took my hand.
We ran, well SHE ran and I was dragged, to her car. Without another word she shoved me into the passenger's seat and she hopped in behind the wheel. Haku can be very...er- enthusiastic at times?
She put on her classic black shades on as she started the motor. Haku had a black cocktail dress on accompanied by black heels. She had put some make up on and she looked very beautiful. The red lipstick Haku wore really made her ruby-red eyes stand out. Those very lips curled up into a devious smirk and I saw her foot get near the gas pedal.
She wouldn't...
"H-Haku... Don't even think about-"
I was cut off by the sudden lurch of the car as Haku pressed down on the gas pedal.
"HHAAAKUUU! There is a speed limmmiiiiittt!" I yelled but it was no use.
"To hell with the speed limit!" She replied and kept on driving.
I kept a tight hold on the seatbelt. Please don't let us die... Please don't let us di-
My thoughts were interrupted by a violent jerk as Haku avoided crashing into a truck.
"Haku! I have to get to the talent show ALIVE! Slow down!"
✿.·°∴✿°· °✿
I slipped out of the car. Like, literally, slipped since I had become a puddle of orange, yellow, and white... Oh and a hint of blue of course.
"Rin, you look like you just went through something horrible."
"Don't ask..." I said as I tried to sort out my buzzing and spinning mind. Though my stomach was doing back flips, I could recognize that voice anywhere.
"Let me guess... Haku?" Len asked knowingly.
"Yep." I mumbled, finally regaining my senses.
"Come on, everyone is inside already. Only Gakupo and we are missing." He said and took my hand.
I blinked rapidly and just let him guide me towards the auditorium.
"But Haku-"
"I told her to go sit down next to Miku's parents. They saved her a spot. She then said something about not letting you down or I'll have bananas shoved down my throat and my body thrown down a trench..." He said in a serious yet confused manner.
"Hehehehe... Haku is just being her hyper and protective self." I laughed nervously.
Damn, now he is aware of my plans! Well he thinks its HAKU'S plan... Mwahahaha...
He lead me to the behind stage where all of our friends were waiting. Everyone was there except Gakupo.
"Ahhh Rinny! You look sooo cuuteee~!" Miku squealed and proceeded to hug me... Very tightly.
"M-mikuu... Can't breathe!" I choked out.
"Umm Miku," Len started as he walked towards us while raising his hands, "I need Rin for the talent show... Alive."
"Eeeek! Sorry Rin!"
My head drooped from the lack of air.
"Ahhh Len! I didn't mean to kill her!" Miku cried.
"I'm not dead Miku!" I yelled but lost my balance and fell backwards.
I didn't land on the hard ground as expected but realized someone had caught me. I expected it to be Len but was surprised to find teal eyes meet my own.
"M-Mikuo?"
"'Sup." He said with a warm smile.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I'm shocked Rin! I'm performing too! I'm hurt that you forgot!"
My eyes widened with realization. I'm so stupid.
"Oh, I'm sorry Mikuo!"
"Meh, I forgive you. But only because it's YOU." He said with a wink.
I laughed nervously. What had he meant by that?
"Out of all of the female population at our school, the idiot had to fall for you."
Ugh, as much as I would love to play the innocent and naive one... I can't. I know pretty darn well why he said that! Why did Miku have to tell me? Now it's all awkward since Mikuo is showing his affection towards me more er- openly?
"When you say no to my brother, please don't let him down too harshly."
Hah! She said it like it was the simplest thing ever! Hahahaha she is talking to me, Rin Kagamine, about love like I were some big expert on the subject! The only time I had been in love, or thought it was love, it had resulted in my life almost being ruined and it scared me... Even after I told her she STILL EXPECTS ME to dump/reject her brother and confess my love/like to Len like if it were a stroll in the park? Something is definitely wrong with the leek lover... IT'S THE LEEK COOKIES I TELL YOU! Oh crap and I ate one a week ago... What did I eat for breakfast a week ago?... I can't remember! THEY HAVE BRAINWASHING POWER!
Ehem... Well as I was saying it is not very easy to either confess or reject someone you love or someone who loves you... I'm such a failure. I can't do one or the other...
"Rin... Are you nervous?"
I looked up to see Len looking at me. For some reason Mikuo kept on giving a sort of glare to Len who just avoided his gaze. What is going on between them? Are they keeping some sort of secret from me?
"No- I'm fine..." I lied.
"I wish you guys the best." We turned to see Mikuo awkwardly standing there.
"Thanks..." Len replied.
"Len... Remember what you have to do... Or else, I'll do it myself." He murmured.
"I'll do it for goodness sake!" He shot back.
Why do I have a feeling that they are hiding something crucial from me?
"Hey, where is Gakupo?" Kaito asked.
"I don't know," Luka answered, "but that guy better show up or I'll..." She murmured the rest too low for us to hear.
Nice to know I'm not the only sadist here... Er- I mean-
"Handsome eggplant in the hooooouuusse~! Er- auditorium." Gakupo said as he entered the room.
"Where have you been?" Luka questioned in an irritated tone.
"Why? Did my little rose miss me?" He cooed.
Luka's vein popped and without even moving the rest of her body, she swiftly moved her arm, punching Gakupo in the face.
"Luuuukkkaaa~! I need that!" He said as he rubbed his face.
"Oops, I thought it was a one-time use only." Luka said, completely used to the eggplant's behavior.
"So mean!" Gakupo muttered and continued to rub his nose until something caught his eye.
"Kaito, what the hell are you wearing under the jacket?"
The blue haired boy looked at him in confusion and pointed to what little of his shirt was visible, "This?"
"Yes... I thought I saw a glimpse of...teal. Suspicious looking teal..."
"Oh yeah! It's for our act!" He said and unzipped his jacket.
On his white shirt was an imprinted picture of none other than Miku Hatsune.
"Okay Kaito, I'm okay with the whole scarf style but what's with...that?" Gakupo asked, warily eyeing the shirt.
"Isn't it awesome? It's a prop for our song." He said.
"I told you not to wear it!" Miku scolded.
"But it's cool! Awww come on, you know you love it-" he tried to coax the tealette.
"F-Fine!" She yelled and turned away before he could notice her dark blush.
But I saw it. I was surprised that my best friend could blush that much. I guess it's because she likes Kaito...
"You know what? I may actually love him... I think I do..."
I remember that day in Miku's house when she had told me about her love for Kaito... She had only gone out with him to make Len jealous but in the end she found in him a person who would love and care for her unconditionally. As I saw Kaito's sheepish grin and Miku's sly smile I knew that they were perfect for each other.
I wonder if I'll ever find someone like she did...
I took my gaze away from the two and looked at Len. He was staring very intently at me. I blushed and looked away, trying to avoid his intense gaze. Gakupo came up to him and hugged him, saying something about giving him banana treats if he did a good job. He blushed and started to try to free himself from the purple haired guy's grasp. I giggled.
"You have changed him... Thanks to you he is a better person."
Miku's words floated back into my mind. Have I really changed him? I hadn't really known him before he had dated Miki. Everyone said that he had been a different, cold-hearted jerk who didn't care about anybody's feelings... I'm glad I didn't meet him back then... Things would've been really different... I wouldn't be in love with him. I took another look at Len who was now laughing hysterically because Gakupo was fighting with Kaito and Mikuo about how eggplants are good pets or something... Miku might be right. Maybe I did change him, if even a little...
"Rin! The show is going to start." Miku said.
"Okay..."
"Don't worry you'll be fine."
"Thanks, you too." I whispered.
We all went to the sidelines and the curtain rose high up.
I was too nervous as I saw the curtain rise to notice a person behind me. But something made me feel uneasy and I turned around to see who it was.
"Hey washboard."
"M-Miki..."
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO THIS YEAR'S ANNUAL TALENT SHOW!"
"Prepare to lose, Rin Kagamine."
Miku's P.O.V
No one had heard any of the others songs. I was very excited to hear Len's song as well as Luka's. I wonder what Luka and Gakupo will sing about? Kind of hard to imagine, huh?
I finished putting the black bows in my hair and I tried to find either Rin or Luka.
"Hey Kaito have you seen Rin?" I asked my blue haired boyfriend.
"Rin? Yeah, she was back by the ropes a moment ago."
"Thanks!" I gave him a quick peck on the cheek and left to find my friend.
I dodged in and between people like a teal worm. Leek worm!
"Riii-" I started but stopped short as I realized my blonde friend wasn't alone.
Red hair... A curl that defied gravity... The shape of eeeeeviiiill...
Miki was standing in front of her and saying something to Rin. Oh, she better not be saying anything evil to her! She almost caused Rin to get run over but luckily my brother saved her. She almost ruined the "oblivious lovers" relationship that Rin and Len had...have!
A long and slender leek materialized in my hand. Miki is soooo gonna get it...
"Miki!" I said as I approached them.
"Why hello, teal reject." The red head shot back.
"You still haven't gotten over that have you? You and your huge ego won't fit here for much longer..." I said calmly.
"Your still mad that Len dumped you for me, aren't you?" She nagged.
I narrowed my eyes, "Says the one he dumped in front of THE WHOLE SCHOOL."
Miki visibly flinched. Awww, was I too hard on her?
"Y-you!" She yelled, apparently too angry to form a complete thought.
"Me? Yes, I'm Miku, nice to meet you." I said and Miki's temper rose even more. Boy is it fun to make her mad...
Okay I'll admit it... I kind of am getting revenge... Not for Rin, not for Len, for myself. I mean, Miki used to bully me in elementary school before Luka transferred and saved me. Yes, I am numerically a year older but it's really only a couple of months. When Len dumped me I felt incredible pain but it hurt even more when I learned that he left me for HER. Luckily I didn't dwell on that thought and moved on with my life. It took some time and at first I took a wrong turn but in the end I found the right person for me. But when she messed with Rin I knew that I had to get her back somehow. The opportunity was now and I wasn't going to let it slip through my fingers.
"You're just jealous that he chose me over you!" Miki yelled with fury.
"You know what? I think YOU are the only jealous person in here. If I still loved Len then maybe I would be jealous but I moved on with my life and found love instead of being some obsessive fan like you are! I think that is why you try to harm Rin. You are jealous of her!"
"Shut up!" She said and raised her hand to slap me.
I easily caught her hand and smiled, "This isn't fourth grade anymore."
"Shut up! You and that washboard better watch yourselves! I swear I'll get you back!" She screamed and walked away.
"Miku... You shouldn't have-" Rin started but I interrupted her.
"Nononono... I needed to get her back. Plus, friends stick up for each other." I said and winked.
Her face lit up and she smiled. I felt a smile form on my face as well. When Rin smiles... It's contagious. I'm glad she is finally getting over her horrible past experiences. I bet that Len has to do something with it. Though I once loved him, I now wish him the best. My heart is now in icecream land...
"Wow! Juggling... Hehehehe... Well next are Miku Hatsune and Kaito Shion singing an original song composed by themselves named 'World is Mine'."
My head snapped up when I heard that. Time to shine!
"Bye Rinny! It's time to win this thing!" I sang and waved to my friend.
"Good luck Miku!" She yelled as I walked away.
Let the talent show begin.
Kaito's P.O.V
"Wow! Juggling... Hehehehe... Well next are Miku Hatsune and Kaito Shion singing an original song composed by themselves named 'World is Mine'."
I looked up to see Gakupo standing next to me.
"Give it your all." He said.
"Thanks, I will." I replied as I walked towards the stage where Miku was waiting. Though Gakupo can be weird at times, he is still a very good friend. He is actually the only one who knows about the complicated relationship Miku and I have.
Miku smiled at me as I reached her. I couldn't help but blush a little. She was wearing a short white dress with small black ruffles at the end and a pretty blouse-like top. It was a dress but it looked like a shirt and skirt put together. Miku also wore long black socks that reached mid-thigh and black shoes. The black ribbons in her teal pigtails made her look even more stunning. She is really beautiful...
"I want to be the number one princess in the world..."
"The most wonderful princess in the world...is my bride " I sang my part and opened my jacket to reveal my "I Heart Miku" shirt.
"Number one, why haven't you noticed that my hair is different from usual?" Miku sang.
"Did you cut your hair? I hope you don't mind if I touch it a bit?" I said and twirled a strand of teal hair between my fingers.
"Number two, I want you to always look at me from head to toe."
"You look nice in those heels."
"Number three, when I say something I expect three words in return." She said, while dancing around, looking absolutely like the number one princess in the world...
Because to me she is just that... My princess.
O-o-O
I had always liked her. I had known her since middle school. Okay, well more like a one sided knowing thing. I had watched her from afar since eighth grade. Miku had always seemed so pretty and fragile... Like a teal rose. Her hair fascinated me... It looked like the finest silk. I was sad when I left middle school and entered high school, leaving Miku behind. It was a rough year without seeing her face. When she entered freshman year at Crypton High, I felt my heart skip a beat the first time I saw her. As if fate wanted us to be together, most of my classes coincided with Miku's. During a lab in science we had to pick partners and I began to freak out. I didn't know, or rather didn't get along with, anybody in the class! It was so worrisome. Gakupo and Mikuo were my only friends. I was too busy having a nervous breakdown to notice pretty little Miku politely refusing offers from guys who wanted to work with her. To calm down I began to think about ice cream but was interrupted by a soft hand tapping my shoulder.
"Want to work together?" Miku asked with shining teal eyes.
I blushed from the surprise. Was she talking to me?
"U-Um... Yeah, sure." I stuttered. Smooth Kaito...
She smiled brightly and sat down next to me. "Hi, I'm Miku Hatsune and you are?"
"K-Kaito Shion..." I mumbled. I couldn't believe she was really talking to me.
"Nice to meet you Kaito! You seemed pretty lonely so I wanted to work with you. Umm... Do you want to start with number one?"
I nodded and soon discovered that besides being very beautiful she was also incredibly smart.
"And then you do this," Miku mumbled as she chewed the end of her pencil, "and you're done!"
"Wow... You made it seem so easy." I said as I studied the final product.
"Okay class! Back to your seats!" The teacher called.
"See ya Kaito! I'm glad I met you!" Miku said and went back to her seat. Heh, she made me like science.
I looked forward to seeing her every day. She always smiled and waved at me. My friends told me that I was becoming more bright and cheerful. Mikuo teased me about liking his sister on a daily basis.
But then... Len came along. Mikuo had introduced him to us. He was the same age as Miku and in some of our classes. He was cool and I started to think of him as one of our own. He just had this player problem that was kind of disturbing. I was actually fine with it though. As long as he didn't mess with Miku I was okay with his stupid game. Miku had a big heart and would easily allow anyone into it…Especially if he was a smart, rich, blonde boy with sparkling blue eyes. Seriously, like almost every girl had her eyes on him. Before it had been only the three of us, but now the attention was on Len. I didn't care about that part... As long as he didn't mess with Miku it was fine.
Then one day in science class Miku came up to me in a happy mood... More happy than usual.
"Kaiiiitooo~! I'm so happy!" She gushed.
"Hah... I see. And why are you so happy?" I asked, a smile slowly spreading itself across my face. When she was happy I was ecstatic. She was the new light in my life...
"I have a boyfriend!"
I felt my body tense and I involuntarily cringed. She had a what?
"Umm, that's great!" I lied and smiled to cover my breaking heart.
I knew this would happen. She was so pretty; who wouldn't ask her out? I just didn't have the guts to ask her out myself and now it was too late...
"He is really great! I have actually liked him for the longest of time but he finally asked me out!" She said excitedly.
"Oh really?" I asked, my voice void of emotion.
"Yes! I'll introduce him to you!"
"Ah yep... I would love to meet him." I said bitterly.
"Oh wait, here he comes!"
I didn't even bother to turn around and see who it was.
"Hey Miku, hey Kaito."
My eyes widened when I heard the voice.
"Hi Len!" Miku exclaimed and ran to the blonde. Her teal hair whipped around as she hugged Len.
"Hey..." I said sourly.
"'Sup Kaito... Geez, you look mad."
"Oh? It's just that this has been a really bad day for me."
Miku's eyes flashed worry. "Why, what happend Kaito?"
"Nothing..."
"Let's go Miku. See you Kaito." Len said in a reserved manner.
"Bye Kaito!" She said happily but I knew she was worried about me.
"Bye..." I let it drop.
If Miku is happy I am happy... Right?
That is what I tried to believe. Day by day I tried to bury my feelings for the teal beauty as I continuously saw her with Len...
It didn't work. Who knew heartache could be this painful? Well I didn't know... The way she smiled when she saw him... Just knowing that I could never make her smile like that broke my heart over and over again.
She would be easier to forget if I didn't have to constantly see her. Now having her in four of my classes had become a curse rather than a blessing. But if Len did something to her... I'd kill him.
Days passed and turned into weeks...months. I had seriously thought about transferring schools so I wouldn't have to see Miku's smiling face anymore.
But then...
It had been a month since Miku started dating Len. I was at my limit. I was walking towards the roof... I needed one last good look at the view before I left. I'll tell my mom to transfer me today. No more Miku. No more heartbreak.
Once I got there I sat down and looked at the sky. Cerulean skies with whisps of fluffy white clouds... Such a nice view. The breeze ruffled my blue hair and I closed my eyes to welcome the sun's rays which caressed my face.
Suddenly, I heard the sounds of soft crying and little sniffs in between.
I looked up and tried to locate where the crying was coming from.
Getting up from the cement floor, I looked for the person who was crying.
I looked around and tried my best to be silent so I wouldn't scare him or her, but from the sound of the voice it wasn't a male.
I crept up behind the stairs exit and found someone there. Someone who I knew all too well...
"Miku?" I asked cautiously. Why was she crying?
She looked up and stared at me with sad, tearful, teal eyes. "Kaito?"
"Miku why are you cry-"
She got up suddenly and embraced me tightly.
"Kaito..." She sobbed.
I stood there, not knowing what to do. Slowly, I wrapped my arms around her in a protective and comforting manner.
"What's wrong?" I asked softly, not wanting to pressure her into telling me.
"L-Len..." She sniffed.
"That bastard," I said through clenched teeth, "what did he do to you? Don't tell me he..."
"No! He didn't do THAT! He-he dumped me!"
I once again didn't know what to do, or rather feel. He dumped her. Okay, I'm supposed to be sad for her but come on... That means I, Kaito, once again have a chance to be with her. Crap... Should I be the good friend I'm supposed to be or totally throw that idea out the window and chase after her affection?
...
...
...
Kaito chooses option B. You may now proceed to the next level.
"Miku," I said as I stroked her hair, "everything will be alright."
"He dumped me for Miki! I actually loved him and he didn't give a damn about my feelings!"
"Calm down..."
"How can I calm down? You wouldn't understand! You've never felt heartbreak!"
Okay, okay so despite being the caring, serene, and gentleman I was, I got mad. I mean... Come on, how could she say I haven't suffered from heart break if SHE is the one who has been causing me a severe case of it for about a month now? How could she know what I had been feeling all these years?
"For your information, I HAVE experienced heart break! So yes, I do know what you are feeling Miku!" I exclaimed, many rushed emotions surfacing.
"Oh yeah? Last time I heard you have never had a girlfriend and you're 16!" She yelled, apparently not believing that I, too, had a heart.
"That is because the girl I have loved since years ago never and will never see me in that light because she is too busy chasing after some jerk who doesn't deserve her love!" I yelled back, too caught up in the moment to notice that I was very close to confessing a love that I had held a secret for many years.
"And who is that oblivious person? Eh? Your imaginary friend? Or is it also Miki?" She asked in a loud and annoyed manner.
"It's you!" I yelled out, not even bothering to regret saying it because the words had already slipped out of my mouth and there was nothing I could do about it.
Miku went silent. All the anger that had surfaced moments ago was gone.
"I never thought you..." She muttered.
"What? You never thought that Kaito, the ice-cream dork, could have feelings? You never thought that he could actually fall in love?" I said through gritted teeth.
"No... I didn't mean what I said earlie-"
"Save it. I just wanted to let you know that Len isn't worth your love. See ya, I gotta go get the transfer papers from the office."
"What?" She said in disbelief, "You're leaving?"
I smiled, "Can't let myself die of heartbreak, now can I?"
"But Kaito..."
"Bye forever, Miku!" I said and turned around to leave.
I walked away, ignoring the searing pain that ripped through my heart. I wanted to run back and ask her out but I had made a decision... No going back now...
"Kaito!"
I was stopped midway by Miku throwing her arms around my waist and hugging me tightly from behind. I could feel my back become wet from her tears and I wanted to comfort her but I stayed frozen in place.
"Don't leave me..." She said softly.
"What's the use of me staying? You're still in love with some fool who doesn't deserve it! I'm not going to stay around and get into trouble for beating up Len." I said and got free from her grasp.
"But he dumped me! He doesn't love me!"
"But you love him! Or else you wouldn't be crying over him!" I yelled, getting irritated that she didn't comprehend that if I stayed I would turn into an emotionless wreck.
She once again remained silent. She lowered her head and I really, really, wanted to go give her a hug. I wanted to once again have her between my arms in a friendly way. I wish I'd never had feelings for her.
"So this is goodbye." I said and half-heartedly smiled.
"No..."
I once again resumed walking away, heading towards the exit, ignoring the tears that stung my eyes. Geez, not even dropping TWO -yes, not one but two- ice-cream scoops hurt this much.
"Won't you stay? Not even if I grew to love you?"
My eyes widened and I froze in my tracks. Even if she grew to love me?...
Could I really... Could it really happen?
"L-len was a jerk... You've always treated me like I was some sort of princess... You... You've been so nice to me..."
"Guess that happens when your in love, huh?" I asked sarcastically.
"Can we at least just try it? I-I know I could love you.. Your actually very handsome. Now that I know you love me... I-"
"How can we have a relationship without the feeling being mutual?" I asked in a confused manner.
"I'm sure it could work out!"
"Stop being so needy!" I yelled, "Just because Len dumped you doesn't mean you should be so desperate to find another boyfriend!"
"Fine! If you don't want to go out with me just say so!" Miku yelled back.
"It's not that I don't want to- I- augh!" I sat down on the floor with a thump and clutched my head between my hands.
I could go out with Miku... But she wouldn't love me back. At least not from the beginning... But maybe, just maybe... I could get her to love me. Sure, it would be one sided at first but hey, I'm desperate. This is a dangerous game I am about to play... If this fails my heart will turn to dust and then the ashes will be carried away by the wind. Yep, that's how bad it will be.
Miku had also sat down and had silently begun to cry again. Oh crap, was I too hard on her? Stupid Kaito! Don't let love confuse you! Go on ahead with the plan...
I got up and moved the blue hair out of my eyes. Then, I walked right up to where Miku was curled up and stood there, slowly extending my hand towards her.
Slowly raising her head, her teal eyes blinked rapidly and she stared at me in a questioning manner.
I smiled, "Will you go out with me?"
She slowly extended her hand and grabbed mine. I helped her onto her feet and without warning she hugged me tightly.
"Of course I will Kaito!" She exclaimed.
I stroked her hair and whispered softly into her ear, "I'll make you fall in love with me."
O-o-O
Yep, that's how it all began. After that, I began to get along with Len again after I made him apologize to Miku. I knew he had never really meant anything serious with her but I wouldn't say that out loud. It took me long enough to mend Miku's broken heart.
That is why when he said Miku went out with me because HE turned her down I got really mad and bet him that he couldn't make Rin fall in love with him. Rin and Len were similar in so many ways that I knew they would be good together. If I didn't agree with Len's player ways then I should do something to stop him right? When I made the bet with him it wasn't only to prove that Miku was better with me but also for him to get to know love. My friend had probably never felt love in his life and that is why I wanted to help him do so... Just as I wanted to help Miku...
Slowly, over time, Miku began to grow more affectionate with me... She began to give me kisses on the cheek and was really protective of me whenever other girls besides her friends got near me. Jealousy is a sign of love right? But since she had actually written the lyrics for this song then that meant... She did love me, right? Why am I saying "did"... She DOES love me... Or at least I hope she does because I sure do. Though she hasn't openly admitted it... There is something that flutters in my heart when she smiles at me... Something that tells me she truly loves me. I'll be patient... I'll wait for the day when she is ready to say she loves me if she does.
Until that day comes, I will wait...
Miku's P.O.V
"I know that the things you do are just to make you look tough" he sang.
"I just want you to think from your heart that I'm cute."
"The loveliest princess in the world
What is your request?"
"Remember that, okay, okay? Keeping me waiting is out of the question! Just who do you think I am?" I sang.
This song is so fun to sing! Especially when you can act like a spoiled brat and everyone will still love you! Hahahaha... Kaito is such a nice person for letting me sing this with him. Part of me can't help but think that these lyrics are true to my life in one way or another. I mean... I really did, from the bottom of my heart, want him to look at me and only me.
"I feel like having something sweet."
"Got it. I'm on my way, so please don't feel lonely without who do you think I am?
I'm your knight in shining armor!
Say no more! If you'd like some pudding, it's in the fridge"
"Right now, alright!"
I did a couple more dance moves before turning to face Kaito.
"Check one, two..." We both said in unison.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" I yelled. No, nothing scared me... It's part of the song. Like, seriously.
"There's no point in grumbling or 's all she ever does."
"My faults? Let's call it a cute mistake!
Complaints are not allowed!"
"Hm, now which was that dress she wanted...?Wh-What? A white horse? If you insist...Take my hand and we'll ride the 'll have to be satisfied with this for now, my Princess."
"Come and take me away..."
I giggled at that part. On our first date, Kaito had done just that... Taken me to a carnival and we had ridden the merry-go-round. That was a very memorable day.
"I'm not really saying anything selfish.
But you know, it's alright to scold me a little?"
"I know that the things you do are just your way of acting tough
Oh? If you keep saying that, I'll have to bop you a couple times."
I sighed. Bop? Seriously, Kaito? BOP?
"My very own prince in the world
Realize that, look, look
Our hands are empty!
Reticent and blunt prince
Come one, why! Just notice it soon!"
This is one of the parts where I am serious and really mean what I am singing. Kaito is nice and all but he hasn't realized it... That I love him. I try to give him hints that he fulfilled his promise and I now love him but he is oblivious to everything I do. Is it because he thinks... I'm still using him?
"I'm your prince, and yours alone
It's a little out-of-character for me
But it's not all that bad
You really are loved
I do believe that someday you'll realize this."
You really are loved? Someday you'll realize this? I know that I am loved... I know that he has been loving me for the longest of times... But doesn't he see that I love him too?
If only I would've never used him.
O-o-O
"Hey Miku, let's talk."
I looked up from my notebook to find my boyfriend Len standing there, looking very serious.
"S-sure..." I stuttered, the tone in Len's voice making me nervous.
He took my hand and led me towards a lonely hallway.
"So what did you want to tell me?" I asked slowly, dreading what I thought was to come.
"Look Miku, your awesome and all but... I don't think this is going to work out. I-I think I want some space."
My eyes widened and I felt my heart stop.
"W-what do you mean?" I asked softly.
Len rolled his blue eyes, "Miku don't act stupid. You know what I'm saying. We're breaking up."
I felt my world come crashing down with a last beat from my heart.
"W-what? Why?" I asked him, pleading for an answer.
Was I not good enough for him? Did I do something wrong? What did I do to deserve this pain?
"Miku... Let's get this straight. I have never dated a girl for more than two weeks. I was actually enjoying your company so I extended the time. But enough is enough. Time to move on." He said nonchalantly.
"Why did you do this to me?" I asked softly, tears welling up in my teal eyes.
"Miku, Miku... You didn't really think I loved you, did you?" He asked, his icy cerulean eyes giving me a questioning look.
"W-well..."
"Geez... Toughen up. I gotta go, Miki is waiting for me." He said and smirked as he left.
I couldn't think anymore. He... He toyed with me. How could he...
How could he break my heart?
Without another thought I ran away. I ran away, teal hair flying wildly and tears mixing with the wind. I stumbled up the stairs and opened the door leading to the rooftop. I somehow made it to a corner and that is when I lost all willpower. My legs crumpled and I fell to my knees. Then I fell backwards, leaving me with my face resting between my legs.
I cried without caring what happened around me. School was over... No one would come up here at this hour.
"Miku?"
I looked up to see my blue haired friend standing over me.
"Kaito?"
"Miku why are you cry-" he started but he didn't have time to finish for I jumped up and tackled him into a hug.
"Kaito!" I sobbed into his shoulder.
He stood there, his body tense, but then he hugged me back. I cried into his shoulder... Letting him absorb my sorrow. I don't know why I had suddenly hugged him. I guess I needed someone to let in on my misery so I wouldn't drown in tears. Heh, the icecream lover has now become a huge blue sponge. Ahhh I hope he doesn't mind me wetting his shirt.
"What's wrong?" He asked softly, probably sensing my woe.
"L-Len..." I muttered through tears.
His body trembled and without another thought he held me at arms' length. His royal blue eyes burned with an emotion I would've never thought he had within himself: hate.
"That bastard! What did he do to you? Don't tell me he..."
"No!" I yelled out, "No he didn't do THAT! H-he dumped me!"
No matter how much I tried to hate Len for dumping me, there was a a part of me that knew he would've never been capable of doing THAT to me. No matter what a jerk he was for dumping girls he wouldn't hurt them physically... Just emotionally.
"Miku, it will be alright." He said as he stroked my hair.
I couldn't help but feel irritated. How dare he say it is alright if he isn't in my shoes?
"He dumped me for Miki! I actually loved him and he didn't give a damn about my feelings!" I yelled at him.
I didn't mean to yell. I seriously didn't... But I couldn't stand anyone even slightly putting down my feelings for Len. My heart had just been crushed and he has the nerve to say "It'll be alright?" To hell with that utter lie!
"Calm down..."
There he goes again. Can he not see what I am going through? Why must he keep on saying these stupid things?
"How can I calm down? You wouldn't understand! You've never felt heartbreak!" I exclaimed, my patience meter reaching its limit.
I didn't want to say that. I had no right to say it. How did I know what he had and hadn't felt? I felt remorse kick in after it was too late to take back what I had just said. I'm so stupid! How could I have said that to Kaito? Come on, the guy has always been so nice to m-
"For your information, I HAVE experienced heart break! So yes, I do know what you are feeling Miku!" He yelled, his dark blue eyes igniting with a flame of hate... Towards me.
"Oh yeah? Last time I heard you have never had a girlfriend and you're 16!" I retorted, shooting the hate back at him.
I didn't want to say that... But when you're caught up in the moment you don't think straight. I knew that I would regret what was coming out of my mouth. Kaito didn't deserve this...
"That is because the girl I have loved for years never and will never see me in that light because she is too busy chasing after some jerk who doesn't deserve her love!" Kaito yelled, a distraught look of pain crossed his handsome features.
He... He likes someone? What am I saying... He LOVES someone? Who couldn't love Kaito? Who was this girl? Who did she love? All the questions in my head momentarily drowned out my anger. But it quickly resurfaced. You see, I don't like being yelled at. My temper/ego gets the better of me and I smart talk back even if I don't have the right to.
"And who is that oblivious person? Eh? Your imaginary friend? Or is it also Miki?" I asked loudly, once again fired up in the argument.
Miki... Yeah, of course it would be her! Since she is after, well more like WITH, Len... Miki always gets everyone after her! But since she is with Len now, then Kaito has been heartbroken! Hah! It all makes sense now! Stupid Miki is a-
"It's you!"
...
...
...
My eyes widened and my mind went blank as my brain slowly processed what Kaito had said. He... He... He loves ME? ...Well THAT wasn't expected... At all. Crap, what do I say?
Despite my face being damp from the tears, I blushed.
"I never thought you..." I mumbled but my voice cracked and nothing else would come out.
He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "What? You never thought that Kaito, the ice-cream dork, could have feelings? You never thought that he could actually fall in love?"
That's when it dawned on me that this whole time I had practically called him heartless. The look of hurt that streaked his face was very evident and it hurt me to think that I had caused it.
"No... I didn't mean what I said earlie-"
"Save it. I just wanted to let you know that Len isn't worth your love. See ya, I gotta go get the transfer papers from the office."
My world once again came crashing down upon me, nailing me to the floor.
"What?" I asked in disbelief, "You're leaving?"
No, no, no... This can't be happening... First Len and now Kaito too?
He smiled sadly, "Can't let myself die of heartbreak, now can I?"
The pieces that were left of my heart broke into even smaller pieces at the sight of his smile. It was a smile void of emotion other than sadness and hopelessness. Why did he have to love me? I mean... Gah! He can't leave me!
"Kaito..." I tried.
"Bye forever, Miku!" He said and turned around to leave.
My teal eyes darted everywhere frantically, trying to think of a way to stop him.
I scampered to my knees and got up. Just like in an anime, time slowed down as I lunged towards my blue haired friend.
"Kaito!"
Suddenly, time resumed its course and I was now hugging Kaito, his back facing me.
"Don't leave me..." I whispered into his back.
"What's the use of me staying? You're still in love with some fool who doesn't deserve it! I'm not going to stay around to watch you mope and get into trouble for beating up Len!" He screamed out with all his might and pushed me away.
All this hurt and hate within him...Was because of me.
"But he dumped me! He doesn't love me!" I said with balled fists. Why does he keep on bringing Len into this if he cut off all ties with me?
"But you love him! Or else you wouldn't be crying over him!" He cried, his eyes glazing over with brimming tears.
I lowered my head, knowing in my heart that it was true. As much as I tried to deny it, I still loved Len. I had so much hope that something special would happen to us that I forgot that he never took girls seriously. Through my bangs I could see Kaito begin to blink back tears.
Oh please... I know that this is my entire fault but please... Don't let him cry... The only guys who had a place in my heart were Len, Kaito, and my brother Mikuo... If Kaito began crying I would have a mental break down.
"So this is goodbye." Kaito said as he smiled sadly.
"No..." I whispered feebly.
This is it... Len dumped me and Kaito is leaving... My world is officially shattering to a million pieces. My legs turned to jelly and I once again fell to the floor.
My world is ending.
Suddenly I had a drastic idea to make my friend stay. I knew I would hate myself for this later though, but it was the only way...
"Won't you stay? Not even if I grew to love you?" I cried out desperately.
I saw him tense and his eyes locked on the floor. Though his face was as serious as ever, I knew that his brain was whirring in his head, determining the possibilities of my newly proposed idea.
"L-Len was a jerk... You've always treated me like I was some sort of princess... You... You've been so nice to me..." I said softly, slowly realizing that I was saying the plain truth.
"Guess that happens when you're in love, huh?" Kaito asked, but the cold sarcasm was evident in his tone.
My heart stopped beating. He sounded so...Heartbroken. It was all my stupid fault... And I was going to harm him even more.
"Can we at least just try it? I-I know I could love you.. Your actually very handsome. Now that I know you love me... I-"
"How can we have a relationship without the feeling being mutual?" Kaito asked, his brow furrowing in confusion.
"I'm sure it could work out!"
"Stop being so needy!" He yelled with a hint of anger, "Just because Len dumped you doesn't mean you should be so desperate to find another boyfriend!"
My eyes widened. I was doing this because I didn't want him to leave, right? My rational thinking was kicked out the window by my pride. Why was he avoiding the matter? Was I really that pitiful that he wouldn't want to go out with me?
"Fine! If you don't want to go out with me just say so!" I yelled back.
I saw him visibly twitch and he blushed lightly, "It's not that I don't want to- I- augh!"
He sighed in frustration and slumped to the floor. Oh, I knew I should've never mentioned it! Now he's mad at me and he made me get mad at him too.
Tears began to slowly slide down my cheeks again. Why am I crying so much? People will think I am a weakling who doesn't know how to do anything except cry. I need to get a hold of myself! If Kaito wants to leave then fine! Let him leave! I don't need him or Len! From the corner of my eye I saw Kaito stand up.
I burrowed my head further into my knees. I closed my eyes tightly and used all of my willpower not to look up.
... Goodbye Kaito.
I tried my best to hear his footsteps get farther away but instead his steady footing got... Closer?
Not being able to resist anymore I raised my head to see where Kaito had gone.
I blinked rapidly, not believing what I was seeing. Kaito was standing before me, hand outstretched and smiling tenderly.
"Will you go out with me?"
My eyes widened and I blushed deeply. Slowly, I reached out and took his hand. Kaito helped me stand and I didn't hesitate in wrapping my arms around him.
"Of course I will Kaito!" I exclaimed.
He wrapped his arms around me and I felt his warm breath on my neck as he whispered in my ear, "I'll make you fall in love with me."
I tensed. He really does love me... But here I am tricking him... I didn't want to do this... But maybe if Len sees that I'm with Kaito then he will realize that I'm the one for him.
Sorry Kaito...
O-o-O
I was walking down the hallway towards my locker when I saw Len with Miki... Together.
I breathed in sharply and tried to turn around and walk away. It had only been a week since Len dumped me so seeing him with Miki reopened a fresh wound that was slowly being woven shut. Kaito was always there for me, treating me like a princess. I won't lie. I enjoy every minute that I am with him but I don't love him. Sure, he attracts me a little but I don't LOVE him. I still love Len.
... Okay so the only reason that I told Kaito that we could go out was so I could make Len jealous. It hurt even more to know he didn't give a damn about me going out with someone else. As the days passed remorse and guilt started weighing me down everytime I saw Kaito.
"Miku!"
I cringed as I heard his voice call me. Not Kaito's but Len's... I fought the urge to run away and never look back. Slowly, I forced myself to turn around and I gave him a sickly smile.
"Hi Len."
He smirked and wrapped an arm around Miki, "Miss me?"
My left eye twitched. This jerk...
"No I didn't. Why did you?" I asked, sugar coating my voice with sweet venom.
"Nope, not really. You see, Miki has been very good company."
"Oh really?" I said, eyeing the red-head, "Well I feel sorry for her."
"You feel sorry for me? Hah! Don't make me laugh! Isn't it the other way around?" Miki asked in a mocking tone.
"Yes. You have no idea what a jerk Len can be. I give you at most a month. And for your information, I have a boyfriend who is so much better than Len." I said, placing my hands on my hips and cherishing the look of surprise on Len's face.
"You mean Kaito?"
I nodded, keeping my head held high.
"I bet that you're just using him to make me jealous. There is no way you could love him."
"I-..."
"Back off Len."
"Well, well...If it isn't the blue haired ice-cream lover himself."
I quickly turned around. Kaito stood behind me and placed a strong, reassuring hand on my shoulder.
"Miku, it's okay. I can handle him." He said and gave me a smile.
"Miku..." Len said as he eyed us, "You haven't answered my question. You are toying with Kaito to make me jealous, aren't you?"
Kaito looked at me, interested in my answer.
Len sighed and pointed to Miki, "Let me make this simpler. If I dumped her, and asked you out again, would you accept?"
I looked at him and then at Kaito. My heart was being pulled by two sides. I still loved Len, but Kaito had slowly mended my heart and I had begun to feel something towards him as well. Len taught me what heartbreak was. Kaito taught me to stand tall and not back down when faced with a tough predicament. Though part of me might disagree, I knew the answer. Looking into Kaito's royal blue eyes, I was only reassured of my choice.
"No."
Len's smug smirk was wiped clean off of his face.
"What?"
"No... I wouldn't go out with you. Do you think all girls are like dogs and when you throw the stick they will always fetch it back? Well, not me. Kaito has taught me to look at life differently. He taught me that I should stand up for myself and be proud of who I am. Just because a jerk dumped me doesn't mean I should go to my emo corner and mope around for the rest of my life. I have moved on. You should too. I still care for you as a friend though. You should stop breaking hearts and focus on finding true love. It can happen, even to you."
Len stood there speechless. He blinked rapidly and then turned around and left swiftly without another word. I was very surprised. I think I caught a glimpse of him blushing.
Miki freaked when he left her behind and tried to find him.
"Miku, that was awesome. I'm proud of you."
I looked to see Kaito grinning broadly.
"But I-"
"Yeah, I know. You don't love me. I was impressed by what you told Len because I know you love HIM."
"So you're not mad that I used you?" I squeaked.
"Nah, I should've known. Plus, I said that I would make you fall in love with me. That will take time." He said with another smile.
"You're the best!" I yelled and got on my tippy toes to kiss his cheek.
I felt his face's temperature increase rapidly. I stepped back and waved to a dazed looking Kaito.
"Bye Kaito! See you tomorrow!"
He waved with a weak arm and tried to stop himself from falling.
I giggled and skipped away. I knew then and there that everything would be alright. With the help of Kaito, I would learn what love really was.
O-o-O
"Miku, can we talk?"
The voice jolted me awake. I looked up from the mathbook I was sleeping on. The library is a nice nap room okay?
"Did I wake you up?" He asked, nervously.
"Me? Oh, no! I was just... Learning... Er- Algebra 2 though mental math!"
"I see..." Len said while avoiding my gaze.
"What do you want?" I asked him.
"Look Miku, I..." He tried, "you see..."
I raised a teal eyebrow. What is he trying to say?
"I'm sorry."
My head snapped up. Eh?
"Huh?" I asked in the most intelligent manner.
"Geez, do I have to repeat it? I'm sorry! I should've never toyed with you! After what you told me yesterday, I began to think differently. I-I'll try to change... I'll get along better with my friends and apologize to Kaito as well." He said and blushed while looking at the floor.
Did The Len Kagamine just apologize? I looked out the window to make sure I saw no flying eggplants...
...
Nope, okay so it's just Len.
"I'll try to find true love even if I don't believe in it." He said, trying to look cool.
I smiled. He still might be a little arrogant and stuff but at least he is trying to change.
His blue eyes strayed from the floor and landed on someone. I followed his gaze and saw Rin Kagamine, the new girl. She was struggling with about ten books and I was surprised at how closely she resembled Len.
"Who is she?"
"Oh, you mean she isn't your twin?"
He gave me the "not funny" face.
"Just kidding. She is Rin Kagamine, the new transfer student."
He looked at her and then thought of something. "Hah! I'll have her at my feet in no time!"
I sweat-dropped. Wasn't he with Miki...? Ugh, nevermind. So much for changing...
"Len-" I started to say, ready to scold him but I was interrupted.
"Just be friends?" He asked and extended his hand.
It took me a while to realize what he was saying.
I smiled and shook his hand, "Yup, let's just be friends."
O-o-O
And that's how it happened. Though at the time I wasn't sure, I am now 100% sure that I love Kaito.
I looked at him while he was singing. He had a deeper voice than Len, but it sounded so sweet and refined. I could seriously melt when he looked me in the eye and said "...my princess."
I couldn't help but internally sigh. He still doesn't get it. He must think I'm still using him. He is a very sincere and caring guy but he isn't stupid. He knew right from the start that I was using him as bait to lure Len in. In the end, I didn't lose Len. He became my close friend and I have to thank Kaito for that.
I knew I would regret using him and now I am paying the consequences. I just wished he could notice...
Okay, so if he can't notice I'll just have to tell him! That's right, I'll confess after this is over!
"A shortcake with a strawberry on top
And delectable pudding made from premium eggs" We sang together.
"I put them in the fridge while you were asleep"
"I want them! I want them all, but I'm holding back."
"This is sending me a sign..."
"I can really do it if I try! You'd be surprised when I do!"
"I suppose it's natural, because you are...You're my princess, and mine alone
I'm looking right at you, so don't you go anywhere!"
"You grabbed me suddenly and held me tightly, what are you doing?" I said as Kaito mimicked the actions and pulled me into a hug.
"Be careful or you'll get hurt." He said and then turned around, letting me go.
"You said that and then turned around, but I think you are even more dangerous."
I did a couple more dance moves, the song being over, "Ahhhh!"
Suddenly, Kaito took my hand and spun me around, causing me to fall back into his arms with him leaning over me.
His royal blue eyes looked right through me. I could feel his even breathing, our faces just centimeters away. I couldn't help but blush at the close distance between him and I. Maybe, if I tried hard enough, I could hear his heart beat too...
"You love me." He said, breathing on my face, making me even more red.
Then, without warning, he closed the distance between our faces and gently placed his lips atop mine.
My eyes widened at the sensation of his lips against mine. I had never kissed him on the lips before!
Feeling that is was the right thing to do, I kissed him back, in the process wrapping my arms around his neck. It was a slow, sweet kiss, not some vulgar kiss full of passion... Our first kiss. I ignored my pre-recorded scream in the background. This moment was perfect.
He slowly pulled away and looked me in the eye. His cheeks flushed pink and he let me go. I cleared my throat and tried to look away, but I was star-struck. My stomach was filled with fluttering butterflies and I couldn't be more happier.
It was then my turn to do the unexpected for I ran up to him and held him tightly, "I do love you... With all my heart."
His blue eyes widened at my confession, but his mouth didn't waste any time and it broke into a broad grin.
"I knew it would work out," Kaito said as he hugged me tightly, "I'm really happy right now."
I couldn't help but let tears start to roll down my cheeks, "I'm sorry for lying to you."
"Don't worry...My love." He said and stroked my cheek tenderly.
That's when we remembered we were in front of an audience. We both turned around to see everyone staring at us with confused faces. Some were snickering, other's had looks of awe, and others had no idea about what was going on. I couldn't care less...
It was one of those rare moments in my life in which something tragic could happen and I wouldn't care...Because he was by my side...
This moment was perfect... Like a dream come true. The love of my life stood next to me, smiling like an idiot, probably thinking the same thing. People say you won't find true love until your grown up, but I think I'm one of those exceptions. I couldn't imagine a life without Kaito anymore...
"U-um, well that was Miku Hatsune and Kaito Shion singing their duet 'World is Mine'. Give them a hand!"
The crowd clapped for us and we took a bow. Hand in hand, we walked back to our spot backstage.
"Next up are Luka Megurine and Gakupo Kamui also singing an original duet named 'Go Google It'!"
Hah! I wonder what that's about….
I kept that thought in mind and quickly stepped outside to breathe fresh air. Suddenly I heard footsteps and my head snapped towards the direction of the sound.
A guy approached me wearing multiple layers of clothing, all covered by his raincoat. That wasn't the shocking part… he had different colored eyes. One was blue and another green.
"Who are you?" I asked, not recognizing his face.
"Say, is this where the talent show is being held?" he asked, not answering my question.
"I asked who you are. What do you want?"
"I'm Piko Utatane and what I want isn't something I can have."
