I Love You, My Request Princess

Chapter 5

Flashback

Otosama smiled and walked around to the passenger side as I opened the driver's door and adjusted the seat. I buckled my seat belt, and pointed at my otosama."Buckle up" I said. My otosama hated wearing seat belts, and the only way Onichan and I had ever gotten him to wear one was by refusing to put ours on until he buckled up too.

"Come on,Miku~" Otosama said in his best persuasive voice. "We're in a hurry. Why don't we just go?"

"Fine," I said, unbuckling my own seat belt and turning the key in the ignition the ignition. "Let's go."

Otosama grumbled and pulled on his seat belt. "Happy now?" he asked.

"Very," I said, snapping my own back in. I looked into the rear-view mirror and began to back slowly down the driveway.


"I've knew about you being a novelist." Otosama said.

I didn't say anything. Otosama has always objected to me being a novelist.

I took my eyes off from the traffic-light and looked at him guilty.

"Green," my father said, pointing.

I returned my eyes to the road and stepped on the gas, going through the intersection, when I saw something out of the corner of my eye that wasn't right. It was a flash of red, coming toward me when there shouldn't have been anything coming toward me.


"Miku!"I heard my father say, before everything slowed down. It's a cliché but it was true. And I think it only happened when there was no point to having things slow down. I knew, somehow, that I wasn't going to be able to do anything about it. It was like I was just getting extra time to see what was coming.

And what was coming was a red SUV running the light, trying to get through the intersection that I was currently in the middle of.

There was more honking behind me, and then the other car slammed into us with such force I was thrown back against the seat, my teeth knocking together, and we were spinning around the intersection, and I kept my hands on the wheel the entire time, and I kept pressing my foot down on the brake, as though that would stop all of this from happening.

There was a horrible scraping sound, metal on metal, and I saw the pole about a second before we slammed into it, on my otosama side.

And that's when the car finally stopped.

But my father had stopped moving and my forehead felt like it was burning, and someone was screaming and it wouldn't stop.

And it wasn't until the ambulance came and a paramedic pulled me out of the car and shook my shoulders firmly, that I realized it had been me.

End of flashback


I kept quiet staring ahead at the dashboard.

After I'd finished telling Len what had happened, it had looked like he was about to say something, but I wasn't ready to hear it yet.

I'd just played with my charm bracelet.

I didn't know what was going to happen now.

But slowly, I was beginning to feel lighter, like I'd just put down something that I'd been carrying for so long, I hadn't realized how heavy it had grown.

"Miku, it wasn't your fault." Len broke the silence.

I shook my head. This was like saying that the sky wasn't blue. Saying something like that didn't make it true. "Of course it was," I said. "I was driving the car."

"That doesn't mean it was your fault," he said.

"You don't have to do this," I said.

"I'm serious," he said, in a voice that was free of all humour "If that blue van was to knock into us right now, is it my fault?" Len asked, pointing at the blue van.

"N…No," I said.

"It's not just the driving," I said. "I overheard two of the paramedics talking at the scene. They were saying that it was one of the very rare instances. But that if he hadn't had his seat belt on, he most likely would have been thrown into the backseat and suffered only minor bruising. But I made him put it on. And so he was trapped in his seat, and a streetlight pole crushed his skull."

I expected Len to flinch at this, but he didn't. "No," he said in the same serious tone. "That was just a speculation. Nobody knows. He might have not had it on, and been thrown forward through the windshield. Or he might have had it off and not gone into the backseat. There's no way of knowing. But it was an accident. It wasn't your fault."

I shook my head against these words, not wanting to let them in. This fact was what I had been living with for the whole of my life. I had ceased to believe in a world where it wasn't true.

"You can't think that way. It wasn't your fault," Len repeated, softly but distinctly. "It wasn't."

"You don't know that," I whispered.

"You don't know that it was," he said. "It was an accident," he said. "A terrible accident. There's nothing you could have done. You didn't do it. It wasn't your fault."

"It was," I said hoarsely, not wanting to believe in this reprieve that he was offering me. Because it seemed almost too much to begin to believe in, what he was telling me. And what if he was wrong?

"No," he said simply. "I don't lie. I promise you, it wasn't your fault."


He took of his seat belt and leaned in to hug me and he pulled back after a few minutes ended.

I did what my instinct told me then. I kissed him.

He kissed me back. For just a moment, but he kissed me back, as though it was an automatic response, as though we had been kissing for a long time. But then he pulled away and looked at me. "Miku," he said softly. He'd never said my name that way before, and even though he'd pulled back, it was the answer that I needed. He touched my face, tracing his hand down my cheek and cupping it under my chin. "I'm not sure –"

But I was. And I leaned over and kissed him again. And this time he really kissed me back, moving his hand from under my chin to my hair, and then down my back, and then under my chin again. And we were kissing like drowning people breathe, like suddenly we'd discovered something that has never been so sweet before that moment.

And as we slowed for just a breath, to a kiss that was sweeter and more lingering,

"Miku," he murmured into my hair when we broke away. It might have been ten minutes. It might have been an hour. I was past the point of being able to judge such things. He smoothed down my hair.

"That was request number 5." I said and smiled at him.

"Thank you." I said again.

"No problem for my girlfriend." He grinned at me and patted my head.

"I'll be going now." I said.

Len pulled me into another hug again but this time, it was different, it was really warm and I felt safe in his hug.

"I'll see you tomorrow then." He said.

I nodded and got off the car.


"Welcome, My Lady!" A cheerful voice said as I entered the Vocaloid café.

"Umm… I was told there was a spot for a job?" I asked the red haired girl.

"I'm Teto, but you can call me Boss! No, you must call me boss!" Teto said.

"Oh, hi. I'm Hatsune Miku." I said.

"Oh my, you must get changed, Miku san!" Teto said.

"But, wait! Don't you need an interview before you hire me?"

"Nope~ You just need to smile, be polite and work hard!" She took me into a room.

"This is the room for you to change your outfit!" Teto said.

"Arigatou." I said.

I put on the maid-outfit, the hem was frilly and it was Teal and Black in colour, behind it was a big ribbon.

"Oh and two more thing," Teto came in to the changing room.

"The man is called master, the women is called My Lady, got it?" Teto asked.

I nodded and gave her the okay sign.

"And you would be known as Utau." Teto said.


"Welcome, Mast-" I said before realizing the person I greeted.

"LEN?" I said and covered myself.

"Oh, it's Mik-" I threw my teddy bear in his face.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Master." I walked over and stepped on his stomach.

"Please. Leave." I whispered.

"Why would I? I'm a customer too~" Len said. I glared at him and showed his seat.


"Order please~" Len waved his hand.

"What would you like, Master?" I forced a smile at him.

"One Parfait please!" Len pointed to the picture on the menu.

"Okay!" I dropped the order on the counter and waited for the Parfait.


I took the bottle of chilli sauce on the counter and put it in the Parfait after it arrived.

"Please enjoy, Master." I said.

"Thank you, Miku!" He said.

"I'm known as Utau here."

He nodded and said, "Itadekimasu."

"Eww, it tastes weird…" Len said.

"I'll shall take my leave now." I said, trying to stifle the laughter that was escaping thorough my mouth.


"Mik- I'm mean Utau, please serve table 7!" Teto said.

"What would you like, Master?" I asked the customer, he was quite chubby and his eyes were covered by the thick glasses he wore.

"I heard about the promotion here, he pointed to the board.

"Order the omelette set and your maid will sing a song for you!" It read.

"Okay, who do you want to sing for you?" I asked.

"Y…You…" The guy said.

I walked over to the piano and decided on a familiar song, when I noticed the guy following me on the piano.

"You're…Very pretty." He said, grabbing my hand and caressing it.

"W…what do you think you are doing!" I said trying to remove my hand but his grip was hard.

"She's mine." I heard a voice said near me and the owner of the voice wrapped his hands around my body, pulling me away from the guy.

"L…Len?" I looked up to see his face looking irritated but his face was tainted red.

"We can sing a song together, right, boss?" He asked looking over at Teto.

Teto smiled and gave a thumbs-up sign.

"Y…You know "World is Mine" Right?" I asked Len.

"I'm not that stupid, Baka." He said.


LenxMiku duet

World is Mine; Lyrics in italics.

First off

You should know when my hair got cut right down to the inch

Second off

You should know when I wear a brand new pair of shoes, get it?

Third off

For every word I speak to you, I expect three words in reply

If you understand

My right hand feels rather empty so hold it!

Nothing said

That could be really all that selfish I'm sure

I only want you to think that I'm super-cute..

Truely and genuinely

The number one princess in the whole world

Remember that hey~ hey~

You're not allowed to keep me waiting

Just who do you think that I am?

Now I want to go

And eat some sweets, where?

Of course I mean now.

Check 1, 2..

Aaa!

My fault?

You know by now that I won't complain about such things

Right? Can you hear me? Fine, I'll repeat it...

Oh, and also this

Get a white horse like in a book, and take me away

If you understand

Kneel down and call me a princess

Nothing said

That could be really all that selfish I'm sure

Though it is alright to go and scold me

Just a little bit

My only Prince in the whole world

You should know that hey~ hey~

Both our hands are empty

Our words have been a little sad recently

Why, why is that?

Come on notice it faster

You absolutely don't understand it, understand it ever!

Fruit topped strawberry shortcake

Pudding made with only the best of the best

I will.. I will try to hold back

Don't go thinking that I'm greedy

I can act proper as well

You'll regret your words!

Naturally! Because I am..

The number one princess in the whole world

I'll wander off if you don't always watch me

I'm being grabbed tightly, save me!

"Be more careful." And you turned away

..But I think that you're more dangerous

Aaa!

End of lyrics.


"And you're horrible, putting chilli in my favourite ice-cream!" Len said. "If I have known that you had done that I wouldn't have saved you!" He pouted when we were on the way to my house.

"Please don't whine. It's irritating me." I said, obviously in a bad mood.

"I reached." I pointed to my house.

"Bye," Len kissed my forehead.

"W…What was that for!" I blushed.

"It's a gift for my girlfriend," He winked at me and walked away.

"B…Baka Len!" I said, and smiled at his back that was walking away from.

Then I felt the cool metallic pole hitting on my skull before everything turned black.
