Disc Four
Alex is waving goodbye to his classmates as he headed off into his apartment. As he opened the door, he was greeted with a randomly thrown leek at his face. "I'm sorry Master! I didn't mea-" Miku explained before Alex put his hand up. "It's fine. I am use to it by now..."
He sat on the couch to rest his legs, asking "Where is Luka?" Rin replied with a pencil in hand "She said she was going out to buy food." Then it hit him. "What do you guys eat? Batteries?" asking without any knowledge. Miku and Rin looked at each other and one at a time, said "I like Mandarin Oranges! They are juicy and fun to eat!" Rin drooling for one. "And If you put leeks in anything, I would eat it." Miku's smile was bright and innocent, Alex still remembering that welcome to the face. Alex got up and thought about looking for Luka. Miku cried "Luka said she was going to a fish market!" as Alex ran out in the hall and down the stairs.
The closest place to a fish market was the Opened Store that sells pure Organic food. He spotted Luka's hair among the crowd and caught her at a fishermen's stall. "Luka, What did I say about leaving without telling me ahead?" Alex kept his tone down but was annoyed. Luka did not reply and simply pointed at the Big Tuna Fish before her. "I'm hungry." was all she said. Alex looked in his wallet then at the price... "Five Hundred dollars? I can't afford that!" He felt like nothing. Luka sighed and guided Alex passed the Meats and to the Fruits. "Well at least get Miku's and Rin's. I can eat whatever you have as a substitute while you get more money to by me tuna." Luka was hard to read. Was she angry? Alex tried to reason with her "If you want, I can buy the canned stuff." but Luka shook her head. "The canned Tuna tastes nasty. I need it fresh for some Nigirizushi." and Alex realized "Do you like Sushi?" wondering if she would eat away his earnings. "No. Just tuna. But it tastes better as Sushi." she replied already purchasing the food she took for the others. Alex looked at the price "Sixty Dollar? All for Leeks and Oranges?" and feeling very pressured. He was hoping to save enough money for a new instrument for his classes...but he payed anyways.
As they walked home, Luka was five paces away from Alex. "Did I do something wrong?" Alex was holding the bags, all of them. Luka did not look back but then stopped short. "I do not fully trust you yet...That is all." and she started walking again. They passed down the small shopping district, the clothing stores and food areas. Alex suddenly yelled out "Luka, hold on. I want to check something." and put down the bags. Luka tapped her foot to hurry up. He soon looked at his money. "Hmm...It's enough" was all he said, rushing in another direction. Luka followed him and tried to turn him around, but he stopped in front of a Sushi Bar. "Here. They have an all you can eat special on Tuesdays for just Ten Dollars a person." he looked at Luka, who's eyes were focused on the sign. She looked down and shook her head out of the mood. "Don't think I can trust you off the bat from this." and in she walked. Alex placed his bags down at a table, Luka already looking at the different sushi rolling by on the conveyor belt. Alex picked off a four piece Tuna roll. He placed it before Luka and said "Go ahead, eat as much as you want." giving a smile. Luka paid no attention to his smile and started to dig right in. After Twelve Rolls, Luka felt satisfied. She got up and looked at Alex, who was paying for the food.
As the headed home, Luka was still keeping distance from him. "What can I do to make you accept me?" he asked. Luka stopped and turned to him. "Just continue with life. That is all." before continuing up the road. Alex gave up. He could not deal with her anymore.
Dropping the bags on the ground in the kitchen, Rin dug fast to find the Oranges. "Hey! You can have two now. I need to put them away." Alex instructed her as if she was a child. Miku insisted on helping Alex with putting away the food. When everything was in order, Alex walked back over to his computer and now remembering a song he wanted to make for his class. All of his instruments were in the computer. His song had the beats but he was still working on the lyrics. Miku noticed his work and nearly lit up with joy. "You are making music?" she was so happy to see notes and pages of keys. "Yeah. I have to get a rough project-" Miku stopped Alex as she took a small cord from her Earphone. She stuck it in the computer and uploaded her program in no time flat. She sat on his lap to situate herself. Alex was feeling a bit uncomfortable with an Android shaped like a Female on his lap. "M-miku? Can I get you a chair?" he asked, his face blushing bright red as Rin was bringing a chair up to him. But the expression on Rin's face showed she was laughing inside.
The program looked simple enough to Alex. He played with most of the tones, mostly finding the right pitch to match his instrument only tune. But Miku decided to do it herself. The certain Lines being filled with Pitches and slight lyrics. Her voice coming out as mostly sound but it made the instruments even better. Around the One Minute mark and forty second area she started to pick up the pace and her timing near perfect. Alex was shocked. He knew she could sing but not...like THAT. Alex was impressed as she finished the small melody. Rin clapped with joy even though Luka was lounging around the couch. "Miku! I always enjoyed you sing so fast!" Rin hopped up and down. Miku disconnected herself from the Computer and bowing in a slight manner. She turned to Alex "How was it master?" who looked as if he found the meaning of life. "Miku. I thought you were just an Idol?" he remembered the song she sung at the Karaoke bar. which was already known. She giggled "Even if I was made for performances, I am still a program. Master, if you make more music, just ask us for a voice."
The time was now seven. Alex finished editing his song with Miku's help and felt sure he would get a good grade on it. Rin was watching Television with Luka next to her. Miku was getting the sheets for the bed ready as well as cleaning the kitchen up. Luka noticed her actions "Why do you even help him so much? He will just abandon us all like the last jerk." she reminded Miku of the old owner. "I know our new master is different. He has friends. He has a career to look forward too. And he has taken us in, regardless of our singing." Miku denied the past event while trying to change Luka's judgment.
Luka was not taking it. "So he made one song with you and has helped us out. Big Freaking whoop. He will probably use us again till he has had enough." her voice starting to rise. Unknown to the three, Alex was hearing from his bedroom. Miku was frustrated "I know he is different! He is not like the old master by a long shot! Just open your eyes Luka!" and near yelling. Luka had enough "He will abandon us anyways. He will grow tired of us. And soon, we will be sold once more to someone who could be even worse!" She stood up, nearly throwing her headset to the television. "At least I was not forced to be a sex slave!" Miku spat out before gasping at what she just uttered. Luka felt an arrow pierced her heart. Alex hear that word and wanted to come out, but Luka ran out the door and down the halls till she was outside. Miku was about to follow but Alex instructed her to watch the house. "I will come back once I can bring Luka with me." was what he said before going after her.
Luka was already resting at a light post, out of breath from running nearly a block and a half. "Stupid Miku...Why do I even stay with her?" she asked herself, moving her pink hair out of her face. She was a mess. She slammed her fist into the light post, starting to tear up. Her sobbing was quiet.
Alex found her after taking ten minutes. "Luka! Please come back." he asked out, hiding something behind his back. Luka looked pissed. She yelled "Leave me! I am not going back! I rather be in the trash bin right now!" Her tears were falling now. Alex carefully walked up and pulled out a brown wrapped item. He showed her the package and unwrapped it. It was a side of Salmon. "I only had enough to buy a small side of it. I wanted to buy myself a guitar. Then I remembered that my friends are more important than my career. I do not want you to trust me or like me...but please stay with your friends. They care a lot about you." Alex tried his best, watching Luka wiping her tears as she took the slab and bent her knees to hide her face. "Alex. What do you really want?" Luka asked while sniffling. He put a light hand on her shoulder and looked into her eyes. "Luka. All I want is for you to be happy. Miku and Rin like me and they want to make you happy in their new home." he moved from her vision, Luka looking up at him from her knelt pose. Alex held a hand out. "Come on Luka. At least come back. I promise you that I will never think about touching you in erotic ways." His eyes showing much worry for her. Luka smiled as she took his hand, standing up. "Now how about I let you sleep in my bed while I take out a spare? It's the least I can do to show you to trust me." they were walking home, Luka feeling a bit better now.
That night, Alex set out a spare bed for himself near his computer. Miku and Rin slept on the pullout and Luka took her rest on Alex's bed. That night, she sniffed his pillow lightly. She liked it. In her sleep, she whispered "Master..." on complete accident. Was she falling for him?
