siting down on a chair she leaned forward a bit while she read the script. teal eyes peeked over at the scene from time to time, looking at a certain pinkette practicing. though she couldn't look for long cause then the younger girls would notice. they were right now squealing about how so called "handsome" she looked. Miku herself was a little exhausted.
when Luka left after she kissed her cheek, the fan girls were all over her saying that them as a couple was so cute and so on. some of them even told her good luck when it came to winning Luka's heart so she would dump Gakupo. they were more bold about it then she was.
"Miku-senpai?" she blinked and looked up to see one of the girls standing there. she had red hair and she seemed to be very young and was probably two or even three classes below her.
"What is it?" she tried to sound as kind as she could and the girl blushed a little before reaching out a paper and pen.
"C-Can I get your autograph Miku-senpai?" the tealette were a little surprised but didn't think it would do any harm so she took the paper and wrote what she asked. when she gave the paper back the girl looked very happy and even hugged the paper. "Thank you Miku-senpai."
"No problem, by the way, what's your name?" she blushed but nervously talked.
"M-Miki.."
"Nice name, well you're welcome Miki-chan." smiling Miku was going to look on the script again when she felt Miki tug her sleeve. "Hm? what is it?"
"Miku-senpai? can I watch you practice?" the tealette looked on her for a while before smiling once again and standing up.
"Alright, let's practice some heroic lines alright Miki-chan?" the girl called a yes and while Miku said some lines some of the other girls squealed because of how heroic she sounded. what they didn't know was that the scene with the commander was over so Luka was walking rather tired towards them. but she halted when the sight of Miku drawing a sword and pointing it in the air saying some line she didn't hear.
realizing she was staring Luka blushed and looked away. who was the girl standing next to Miku anyway? she looked rather young and seemed to enjoy the little play Miku was doing. wait was she seriously getting jealous on a little girl? and also did she seriously feel even more attractive to the tealette in that costume? she did look really cool in it. 'Luka, snap out of it!' she gave herself a mental slap before walking over.
hearing the "oh she's so perfect, she should really be with Miku it would be so awesome, she really looks like a princess." From the fan girls she automatically turned around to meet the pinkette. Miki looked on her and noticed the sudden change in the teal eyes, they were warmer and had a rather sinister shine about them when she was met with Luka.
"Are they giving you a hard time? Sorry for leaving you with all of them." But all Miku did was grin and wave it away.
"No worries, you were needed on stage. How'd it go?" Luka shrugged with a smile.
"it went fine, though listen.." They continued talking and Miki stood a little bit away, looking at them.
"Aren't they so cute together?" The girls was silently fan girling and the red head smiled. She really did adore the two girls. When they stood there, talking and laughing there was a sort of loving atmosphere around them. Even though they didn't see it themselves.
"Oi, Miki." She turned around and stared for a second.
"Wo- what are you doing here?" The person behind her smiled and shrugged.
"Nothing in peticular. Just came to get you. Can't your care taker take care of his little girl?" She blushed but sighed.
"R-right.. I asked you to come get me.. Right.." The boy smiled and looked over to the girls with blue eyes.
"Hm.. So that's the girls you've talked about I presume. Well they seem like a nice couple."
"be careful, you know someone who wouldn't be glad if you thought of perverted thoughts about someone else." He raised his hands in the air with a grin.
"wow, alright. Don't worry. They're a couple, I wouldn't dream of feeling something for one of them." Red eyes looked at him in confusion.
"They're no a couple, Luka-San have a-"
"Just wait and see Miki-chan, wait and see. I don't think those two will stay just friends. But anyway, come on. Time to go and get something for dinner. Something with tuna and leek I think." the red head stared at him now again. That was both of those girls favorite foods, how did he know that? But all the boy did was grin and start to walk off the stage.
"Wait a minute! Miku-senpai!" the tealette turned to Miki who smiled and waved goodbye. "Bye Miku-senpai! See you!" She then ran after the boy. "Hey! Wait up!" He grinned looked on Miku and gave her a bye sign before running away from Miki. "That's not fair come back!" the red head whined when the boy ran out of the theater laughing.
"Huh.. he was.. odd.. feels like I've seen him somewhere.." Miku scratched the back of her head but quickly diminished the thought.
"Oi! Fan girl couple over there!" they both turned in sync and the girls squealed over how much they "moved" in the same way. they sighed but concentrated their attention on the upcoming people. Mika, Lily and Len came up to them.
"Where's Rin?" Lily nodded towards Teto, who was talking with the blond.
"Just talking. by the way good going Luka." Lily gave her a thumbs up but Mika grabbed her arm again.
"Lily.." she said, her voice stern and demanding. the blond smiled nervously and lowered her injured arm. the girls behind Miku and Luka looked on the two of them then suddenly they pulled Len into the group and they whispered something to him and he blinked and said something back. the four remaining girls looked very confused and after a while Len put on a rather mad expression.
"NO! Why the heck would she do that!?" he shouted out of nowhere and all looked shocked on him. it was silent for a moment then the girls smirked and one of them whispered something to him and he went beat red. "What the- Why the- argh! Miku! Luka! get these fan girls off me!" they all giggled and the two looked on each other.
"Ehm.. girls. I think you've harassed Len enough. ehm.." the girls didn't listen to them and all Luka did was sigh but walked up to Miku who looked questioning on her. "Sorry, just play along." she didn't quite know what she wanted from her but complied and took the pinkette's hand when she reached it out. thinking of doing something a prince would do, she kneeled down on one knee and closed her eyes as she kissed it lightly.
"I'm glad to have you back my princess." the tealette said a line out of the play and Luka blushed lightly. the girls turned to them and saw this. they shrieked and instantly left Len alone and stood a bit to the side of the two girls. Lily and Mika went to get Len up on his feet since he had been put down on the ground.
"What did you talk about? I don't think I've seen you so upset." the black knight said and Len blushed.
"Nothing. just some crazy fan girls talking." Lily looked on him then on the couple who was now trying to calm the fan girls down.
"Hey, I'll take care of him, go help your sister." Mika looked into Lily's eyes for a second then looked on the blond boy. if Len didn't know better he could have sworn that there was something warning about Mika's eyes. like she didn't want him to do anything with Lily. maybe just because of her arm. "Now, if my guess is right they asked about me and Mika did they not?" he stayed silent for a while before looking to the side.
"Yes.. they asked if you two were a couple. and if not, if Mika, the black knight's leader, liked you. and then they asked me if I liked her. though then after asking Luka and Miku to help me I heard them talking about maybe supporting you and Mika as a couple." Lily actually blushed at this but hid it with a grin.
"Really? hm.." Len instantly sprung up on his feet, blushing but took a hold of Lily's arm.
"D-Don't get any ideas. just because those fan girls says so doesn't mean-"
"Dude, I know, they're just some crazy fan girls of Miku and Luka. them saying stuff like that don't prove anything. it's Mika's opinion I want." Len stared.
"Wait.. so you're sure about your feelings for her now?" she shrugged with a smile.
"Yeah, three days ago I think. I was sure about them before but now I'm really sure."
"I see.. well I'm not losing to you."
"Heh, you're talking like she's some price. but fine, I won't lose either. whoever wins gets a hit by the other. just to let out frustration of losing." Len agreed easily and the two shook hands. what they didn't know was that blue eyes were watching them. she hadn't heard their conversation but for some reason she didn't like Len being close like that. even though she should be helping Miku and Luka she stared off into space, her thoughts lingering around that little feeling that Lily managed to pull out.
"Hey Mika?" her sisters call brought her back to reality and she looked over. "You're doing it again sis. looking somewhere towards Lily and spacing out again." Blushing lightly she just walked over and stood in front of her.
"That's enough!" Her demanding voice reached the fan girls who all shut up and looked up on her. taking a deep breath she crossed her arms and looked on them. "You guys want them to perform good right? Well they can't do that if you're stopping them from practicing by being all over them." they all looked on each other then back on Mika.
"Come on girls. let's say it like this." Lily came and placed a arm around the black knight's shoulders. "If you peacefully go to the seats, they'll practice a scene where Miku looks like a hero and Luka's by her side alright?" it instantly became quiet and in split a second the girls were sitting down. Mika sighed and looked on the blond.
"You're impossible, and stop moving your arm already!" she grabbed her arm and then dragged her away from stage.
"Hey! Gakupo! let's do the catching up scene!" he looked over and saw Miku who just let go of Luka's hand which she just realized she had been holding on to.
"Sure.." he muttered and walked up on stage with Piko. "Where I fight my last fight but manage to hurt the prince right?" the tealette noticed the tone in his voice and mentally face palmed. he was going to enjoy this.
"Yep, exactly that one." he smiled and put a hand on the sword handle.
"Sure, be good practice. right Piko?" the silver haired boy nodded hesitantly and looked over at Rin who was waving and giving him a reassuring smile. he furrowed his eye brows and bit his lip.
"R-Right.." he looked on Miku who now stood in front of Luka preparing for the scene.
(ACT!)
"Stop Apher! you won't have a chance to get over the border." the prince stopped and held a arm in front of Luka.
"Up and running so soon? you must just be a demon." the commander chuckled.
"No, I'm no more demon then you are. leaving his princess like that. if you hadn't this wouldn't have happened right?" the tealette narrowed his eyes and drew his sword.
"Quiet, you have no right to lecture me. you're the one who kidnapped a princess who had nothing to do with this war. you did it to get to me and surrender my kingdom. but I swear, if you touch her again I'll kill you." (could hear fan girls screaming in the back round)
"Heh, let me give you a deal. if you manage to defeat me here and now I'll let you pass. but if I manage to defeat you, you surrender your life to me. a fight to the death." Apher shook his head.
"No, it's not going to be a fair fight, you're hurt." Gakupo snorted.
"Spare me your pity. if you do not accept this.. if you run, I'm not going to stop chasing you until the ones you love are dead. get it now.. Apher?" the tealette grit his teeth but knew he could not say no. turning to Luka and his best friend he could see they didn't want him to do this. but Shiro was hurt and Luka was tired.
"Fine commander. I'll accept this. but you keep your word." Gakupo took out his sword and put it against his chest.
"It's a commanders promise. if my men do not go with it they'll dishonor me." his soldiers all stood straight and put their swords and shields to their chests.
"We'll not dishonor your decision my lord." Piko said with a bow and stepped back.
"I'll let you have a moment, since this will undoubtedly be your last." Apher hated him, but he appreciated that Gakupo still stuck to the knights code. he was a honorable knight, someone the tealette thought to be a good knight who is wasted on the queen of evil. he turned to his two companions and Shiro looked desperate to change his lord's decision.
"You can't do this my lord, I mean think of your kingdom and Luka.. they need you." Apher smiled and patted his friend's shoulder.
"It's fine my friend. remember what I said at our journey's beginning?" the blue gaze fell but nodded.
"If I shall not make it back.. take care of Luka for me.." he repeated the sentence and the prince smiled and hugged his best friend.
"And I'll repeat what you've said to me. don't talk about my demise when I haven't even started." the blond smiled sadly but nodded and stepped aside so the princess could step forward. though her gaze was down towards the ground and the tealette smiled warmly and walked up to her. "Luka?"
"You told me you wouldn't leave me again.." he sighed but took her hand.
"And I intend to keep that promise. but promise me something now." she looked up on him and he could see the small tears that were at the brink of her beautiful eyes. "If this doesn't turn out with me surviving. please, I beg you.. follow Shiro and get over the border where my soldiers will protect you. after all if the king can't come back.. at least his queen must.." she stared at him and all he did was smile and peck her cheek. (fan girl scream)
"Apher, what do you-?"
"If we make it through this. Luka Megurine.. marry me?" her breath cut and she looked on him as he sent one of his most kind smiles yet. (and the fangirls screams like exciting children.)
"You better keep your promise." he took that as a yes and he felt a new fire inside him.
"I take that as a yes, and knowing that.." he kissed her on the lips with a smile. "How could I possibly lose? but take this kiss as a wedding kiss, you're already considered my queen." she blushed but he kissed her again a little longer this time then turned around and drew his sword. "Just so you know I have no intention of losing now. I have a wedding back home I need to tell my sicken father about." he flashed Luka a final smile then walked over ten meters away from Gakupo.
"Oh really. well I would say congrats, but my intention isn't for you to reach that border alive." their battle began with Apher striking first. his blows were quick and Gakupo had a little hard time following but managed to block every blow. but all he was doing was blocking, he had to attack.
standing his ground he made the tealette's blade slide against his own so the prince came close up to him. he then hit their heads together making Apher stagger giving him a chance to draw his dagger and stab him in the shoulder. but Apher did not scream in pain, he swallowed it and hit Gakupo's hand away from the dagger and with a quick movement, managed to redirect his sword so it hit the commander in the leg.
falling over Gakupo looked up on the prince who raised his sword for the final hit. but he blocked once again and managed to slide Apher's sword aside and with his free hand struck the tealette in the stomach. the sudden loss of air made him collapse and cough horribly. raising his own sword Gakupo was about to slice down but then felt something pierce his stomach.
looking down Apher had pulled out the knife from his shoulder and stabbed him with it instead. dropping his sword he collapsed on the ground. the prince looked on his fallen enemy with sad eyes and the lilac eyes smiled.
"Stop looking so miserable. I told you, I don't need your pity. pity your enemies and it might back fire. and you can't afford a back fire like that, you have a queen to protect now. I myself have done what I can." the eyes then closed and the teal eyes saddened slightly. Shiro and Luka ran forward to help the prince and Piko lowered his head.
"Remember the commanders last wish. let them through." with help from his comrades they past the soldiers and into their own kingdom.
(STOP!)
"Alight guys, that was awesome! but Miku are you alright?" the tealette sat down on the floor breathing heavily. the hit to the stomach had been a bit over board on Gakupo's half. her shoulder also hurt. but at the same time she didn't care because the hits she had landed on him wasn't the easiest either.
"Yeah.. I'm.. I'm fine." she said between pants and laid down straight on the floor. her heart was beating and her face red. the two kisses with Luka had been so close and she felt herself that it had been very hard for her to resist really kissing her. covering her eyes with her arm she sighed. "I'm the worst... why did I say yes again?" she whispered so only she could hear. hearing some footsteps beside her she opened her eyes and removed her arm so she could see.
"Miku, are you sure you're fine? Gakupo you didn't have to hit so hard." the boy got up and looked on the pinkette.
"Sorry, I was in the heat of the moment. and so must you have been Miku. cause that almost hurt." he grinned and she only smirked.
"I guess I was. but we're even since I literally lost all my air for a moment." he didn't like her talking back to him but she didn't care at the given moment. Luka looked concerned and helped Miku sit up.
"So you're not okay?" the tealette smiled sheepishly and rubbed her aching shoulder.
"It's fine Luka. really, we were just both very into the moment and accidently hit each other a little harder then needed for the actual play. that's all." however she knew of course that that wasn't the case. they both meant to injure each other. Miku didn't really mean it but couldn't resist after him attacking her for real twice.
"Did you see them kiss! Miku was so heroic! they're gonna marry each other! It's just in the play.. yeah but come on, admit Miku was handsome and heroic and Luka was just so.. so.. I can't even speak!" the fan girls were squealing and screaming, the two girls looked on them then sighed in unison.
"You got some fan club." Lily said and walked up to them. they sighed again.
"Tell us about it." also saying that in sync made the girls squeal even more.
"They even talk in sync! is there anything they don't do!?" but hearing that the tealette smiled and giggled. Luka saw this and for some reason giggled as well. she was just trying to get her mind off what happened in the scene. sure it was a drama and she was just acting but getting proposed to from Miku felt weirdly pleasant. even though she knew that would probably never happen in real life.
And if that wasn't enough, the kissing was getting more dangerous. she had to really struggle with not kissing her this time around. and they were suppose to do that even more in the play. just thinking about made her blush and Miku noticed this with a smile. poking Luka's cheek she grinned teasingly.
"What you blushing for? you okay?" she just nodded in response but the tealette didn't buy it. "Really? you sure?" she didn't get a answer. the tealette stayed quiet for a while before she decided to try something out. "Come on, tell me what's wrong~" she partly whined cutely and partly pleaded. of course she was faking it as she also faked a pout.
"I-I-I ehm..." Luka stuttered, finding it very hard not to just embrace the girl and give her a kiss to stop her from looking like that. though the thought of Miku then hate her made her restrain herself and just look into the teal pouting eyes. she looked like a freaking puppy begging, it was totally overloading Luka's cuteness level and it was just overheating. proof of that being the huge blush on her cheeks.
"Wow, Luka you look like a tomato. kind of makes me wonder what you-" but she cut herself off when she realized what she was about to say. there would be no way in hell Luka would think like that, mostly because she was with Gakupo, and she's not like that. even though part of Miku wished she was.
"I-I-I was just thinking.. A-About something..." Luka mumbled beneath her breath as she looked away. the teal eyes blinked a few times before grinning and poked her friend's temple.
"You were were you? wonder what that could be since it gave you such a huge blush. hm, I wonder if it was about tuna or Gak-" though Luka cut her off by getting behind her and started tickling her stomach. Miku yelped from the sudden attack and it turned to laughing. "Hey! That's not fair! Stop!" she tried to keep the pinkette's hands away but to no avail.
Luka had stopped her cause she didn't want anyone to think, less Miku to think that she had been thinking of the lilac haired boy. she giggled though as the tealette lay down on the floor to try and breathe easier as the tickle attack was still underway. of course it looked rather weird in others opinion cause of the costumes they were wearing but didn't say anything as the two girls were having their fun.
"L-Luka! S-Stop!" she managed to get out between her laughing but the pinkette just grinned.
"Nope, that's for teasing me." the tealette were panting for air by this point. but finally she grabbed Luka's left wrist and the right and pushed herself up as she spread them apart. the blue eyes widened when she saw Miku's face so close to her and closing in even more. though just as their lips were barely apart, she averted and placed her chin on her shoulder with a smile. she was almost panting into Luka's ear and she blushed once again as her heart sped up.
"I always knew you had fight in you princess." the teal eyes closed in amusement as she had repeated the movements, just made minor changes since they were in the wrong position, and said the words from a scene in the play. Luka realized this as her hands were let down and the hands that had been holding her wrapped around her stomach.
"Miku?"
"Sorry, I just felt like a hug would be appropriate after a make up. I teased you, you got to tickle me so I almost couldn't breathe. sure in my book that's unfair but as long as it makes us even I guess it'll do." Luka stayed silent for a while but then softly giggled and hugged the tealette back. the fan girls were silent, not even they wanted to brake it up.
But eventually Miku pulled away and got up. she helped Luka up and lowered her eyes. she hated this. Luka was so close to her but she couldn't do anything or even try to think about confessing. she was with Gakupo and straight for that matter so Miku didn't have a chance did she?
"But that's a wrap! next time we meet it's time for the play. so rest up and practise your lines so you can them by heart and I'll see you again later." Teto announced and everyone complied as they went to change. quickly changing Miku made her way to the door and walked out. after a few minutes of walking she reached one of the trees on the school ground that she sat down underneath witha sigh.
this was literally killing her. she couldn't see Luka with that hot headed boy anymore.
"Yo." she jumped at the sudden voice and looked up to see Lily leaning up against the tree. "Did I scare you?" she asked with a chuckle. sitting down beside the tealette she looked up at the tree.
"L-Lily, what are you doing here?"
"Funny, that's what I was gonna ask you. shouldn't you be with tuna lover?" Miku couldn't help but giggle slightly at the blonds remark. "It's hard isn't it?" she stopped giggling and looked on Lily who was now reaching over to a blue flower sitting in the grass.
"Huh? what are you talking about?" turning the flower between her fingers the usually happy eyes looked a bit sad.
"Seeing someone you love being with someone else. and don't try to deny it, I think anyone have seen the way you look at Luka." Miku blushed lightly but looked away onto the grass.
"Maybe.. but how do you know? Mika isn't together with Len." the blond chuckled and put the flower behind her ear.
"I haven't told you.. but Mika wasn't the first one I loved you know. besides you, I actually was together with a boy in another school. but then it came out that he was cheating on me with another girl. then he dumped me by showing me the girl he really loved and said he hated me and kissed her right in front of me." the teal eyes widened in shock, something like that happened to her?
"I of course loved him still and seeing him with another broke me apart. I cried and stayed home for who knows how long and finally my parents made me change schools so I didn't have to see him again. I was actually suppose to come here a week before I actually did. I was home because I wanted to steel myself and then continue being the happy cheery girl I've always been."
"Lily.." but she shook her head.
"Let me finish. I managed, and then I came here, met you and everyone else. I am sorry for what I did back then, and I know your sister hates me for it. but honestly, even though she's pushing me away now and then, I'm determent not to give up like I did back then. I guess what I'm trying to say is.." the blue eyes looked straight into Miku's with a sad smile.
"Don't give up on her just yet. sure she's with that nut case but even I know she's holding something for you. so don't go and cry and do what I did, don't give up." even though she said that even Miku could see the tears on the brink of the normal happy eyes. but Lily hugged her knees and buried her face behind her knees. she didn't want anybody to see her cry.
"That's also a reason why you're an idiot." another voice said and Miku looked up to see her sister now standing there. Lily didn't look up though.
"H-How long have you been standing there?" Mika shrugged.
"So long as I needed to." she answered and walked up to Lily. "Baka, I admit I'm not so much for feelings myself but this is just.." she trailed off when she saw the blond tremble slightly for holding back tears. Miku was about to comfort her friend before Mika shook her head and kneeled down beside Lily. she sighed and hesitant at first but eventually put her arms around the blond's shoulders.
"I guess I'll have to repay you for helping me.." she muttered but Lily hardly heard her as she then released her knees and wrapped her arms around Mika's torso and buried her face into her shoulder. still trying to hide the fact that she was crying. though the very quiet sobs escaping her lips revealed the truth. the black knight actually looked sadly on her. she didn't know something like that happened to her, she hadn't been there for the beginning of the conversation but she had blushed lightly at the not giving up part. it sounded like Lily meant something different then Mika thought it was.
Miku looked on them, it was obvious that, even though she felt a little sorry for Len, her sister had already chosen Lily even though she denied it to the public. she sighed and rubbed circles around her friend's back. she so badly wished that she could tell Luka how she felt. but how could she?
"I hope you're not thinking of giving up on her." Mika said out of nowhere and unconsciously started to stroke Lily's hair in a attempt to calm her. Miku sighed and looked up on the tree once again. feeling a soft wind blow past the teal eyes looked to the side to have them widen when she saw one of the most beautiful things on earth.
Luka was walking towards them, her hand on the side of her head to stop her hair from blowing in her face. Miku blushed at the sight and thought that she looked really pretty.
"Nope.. not yet.." she whispered so only her sister could hear and the black knight just sighed. she wondered when the two of them would actually say something. the only ones who didn't know how they felt for each other must only be themselves.
"Sometimes you both are just some idiots.." she mumbled but returned to looking on the blond who had stopped sobbing. and then a thought crossed her own mind. she wondered when she herself should admit her own feelings.
Me: and there's where I'm gonna cut it :3
Miku: well.. It's good. a lot of drama scenes here.
Me: well yeah, I wanted a drama chapter and here you got one. but mainly because there was so many MikuXLuka moments here X3
Miku: *blush* alright.. anyway.. Wolf's sorry for being late but it's near summer vacation so school hasn't been easy. so cut her some slack.
Me: and I have grammar problems and spelling problems I know but don't say nothing about it, cause many of you already have -.-
Luka: Hope you liked this chapter. review with opinions and ideas it helps out a lot when it comes to giving Wolf the power to write. and if you excuse me. *picks up Miku in bridal carry* I'm gonna go and have some fun.
Miku: Luka! wait, AH! Wolf!
Me: lolz, bye Miku, there's a bedroom to your right Luka-chan!
Luka: thanks! Goodbye everyone, see you later :3
