Anyway, I enjoyed my break, I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving and my next break will be the week of Christmas. Please enjoy this new life update.

Shido sat on the roof and stared up at the night sky with narrowed eyes. Inhaling slowly, Shido shook his head and looked back, "I know you're there. You can't sneak up on me," the door opened and the nine teen Spirits stepped out onto the roof, "What are you doing? Shouldn't you be sleeping?"

"We can ask you the same, buddy boy," Kaguya scuffed, crossing her arms.

Shido sighed as he looked back up at the night sky, "I am nocturnal, diurnal and crepuscular. While I can sleep whenever I choose...I...I choose not to...not tonight anyway,"

"This wouldn't happen to be because my mother hugged you earlier and you freaked out, claiming it to be a trap, would it?" Tohka questioned as she stepped closer to the changeling, "Why would you assume that they were-"

"Excuse me, but I've never been hugged before, I don't know how to act with any type of physical contact. The animals in me told me that they were trying to hurt me...I just...acted how anyone else would," Shido's eyes widened as he sniffed the air and looked around and looked at Miku.

He frowned as Kotori sighed and shook her head, "Look, we know you had it rough while you were living with your family, but you can relax now. You're with good people now,"

"I know...can um...can everyone give me and Miku a moment?" Miku looked at him with wide eyes as everyone nodded in confusion and walked away.

The two watched as the door closed before Miku looked at Shido and crossed her arms, "Well? What do you want? Are you going to-"

"You're upset about something...you can put on a mask all you want, but your emotions smell of sadness...what's wrong?" Miku moaned as she looked away with narrowed eyes, "I can't help you if you don't talk to me, Miku...I want to try to help you...all of you, but in order to do that, you have to let me...I remember you saying something that humans are...what? What were you going to say?"

Miku looked back at Shido and Shido stepped closer to her, "What happened? Why do you hate humans? I gave my explanation on why I hate humans and Spirits, and I'd like to know why-"

"All I wanted to do was to sing for the world, to have my voice be heard," Miku frowned and shook her head, "And I was a great idol...one day, my manager introduced me to a producer to give me my own show...and my manager told me to be extra nice to him,"

"Extra nice...hold on, you don't mean that-"

"Yes...I'm afraid it means what you think...I turned him down, of course. I didn't want my own show, I wanted to sing, but that didn't stop a scandal from starting. Somehow, a story about me and the producer made it magazines and none of my fans were there for me, not even my manager...the only ones who believed me were the others and our parents,"

Shido frowned as Miku shook her head and continued, "I was under stress and I ended up losing my voice and that's when I met her...the one who gave me my powers...I have a lot of fans now, but I don't see them as that, more like slaves to do my bidden. The only true fans I have are my friends and our families," Shido narrowed his eyes as he stepped closer to the Spirit Idol, "I don't care if you believe me or not, I know I'm-" feeling Shido pat the top of her head, she looked up with wide eyes.

"I can tell when people are lying, Miku. Their voice will strain, their heartrate will increase and their breathing will become forced and I heard none of that from you while you were telling me what had happened and why you hate humans," he pulled her into a hug, surprising her, "So...this is what it's like to give someone a hug...it...it feels...nice,"

Miku frowned as she slowly wrapped her arms around him and hugged him back, "Those humans who did that to you, they all deserve a good foot up their asses. They shouldn't believe stories like that without hearing both sides. If you want, that producer can run into a little accident involving a mountain lion,"

"No...thank you for the offer, Shi...darling," Shido's eyes widened as he separated from the hug and looked at Miku, "You've been...kind to all of us and even though it started off rough with us kidnapping you...you have your reasons to hate humans and Spirits, you're still trying to deal with them for us and this bond that we share," Shido sighed and nodded, "Darling?" Shido hummed and arched a brow, "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course...what's on your mind, Miku?"

"Well...if I lose my voice again, and the world turns its back on me...I know I can count on the girls and our parents to continue to listen to me, but...would you listen to me?"

Shido inhaled slowly as he reached up and patted the top of her head again, "Of course I will, Miku. I would listen to you sing if you want," Miku smiled before she hugged Shido again and Shido hugged her back.

Small backstory with Miku and an explanation as to why Shido thought it was a trap...enjoy and also there might be a new one-shot series requested by NeoGamer...depends on how it goes.
