*Of course, I don't own Vocaloid. To NagamiKai: :D and I love cliffhangers *laughs sadistically* *shot* I actually did that twist with Luka last minute. ^^ I feel sorry for her too. To I My Me Mine: *gasps*you do? *cheers happily* yay! And yeah…I think I made Kaito as bit too much of a creeper (I've already thought of another person paired with Miku if I end up making him more whacko than he is now!) and made what happened to Luka a bit TOO screwed up…..heh….:D and thanks for the pointer! I'll go edit that now~*

A teal haired young woman glared at a blue haired man.

"Leave please, I can deal with him."

"Miku, I would usually let you go ahead and do what you want, but did you see what the creep did to Luka?" Gakupo yelled, he personally wanted to kill the man right then, but, it was better to have information that's utter falsehood than no information at all.

"And I know full well this guy is going to keep on hurting her if you don't leave! The only way he's going to talk to me is if I'm alone! And I will risk anything to keep people I care about safe, got it?" Miku snapped at the purple haired man angrily, but she was still glaring at Shion Kaito.

Rin and Len followed her request, but Miku didn't know that they were close by, and Kaito didn't either. Gakupo left as well, but he hid in another spot near Luka.

After they left, the whole hospital was silent. The two in the broken woman's hospital room.

"Now, can you tell me what the hell you want?" Miku spat at the man in front of her.

"I have a message, you see?"

"From who dammit? I don't have time to play games right now, not with people like you!"

"From your brother."

The three hidden could already tell Miku was angry, but the broken woman knew best.

"…..what the hell is that supposed to mean? My brother is dead! Oh, I forgot! You're so delusional, you probably didn't even know! So unless you've got some real information, I recommend you leave." If the way she snapped at Gakupo seemed harsh, then this was basically the equal amount to a slap on the face.

"I'm dead serious Hatsune Miku."

"Fine, tell me whatever this message is." Miku's voice dripped with sarcasm.

"He said, that he was coming for you the 31st of August, at the "tree we always went to"."

And before Miku could ask him another thing, the madman Shion Kaito disappeared, only leaving a letter behind.

I'm coming for you, the 31st of August, the cherry tree we used to play at.

OF COURSE!

At that moment, Miku couldn't deny that it was her brother writing that.

But when did he write it? And was he really alive?

That was what she had to figure out, and she knew just where to find what she needed.

Miku picked up a brown lock off the floor.

"Sakine Meiko, I'm coming for you."

Luka's POV~ a few weeks later~

"Luka-nee, are you alright?"

"Should I get something for you?"

"Luka, are you sure?"

I smiled softly, "Don't worry about me, I know brail already. Plus, I want to follow Miku. I have a feeling she's doing something she shouldn't. Sakine Meiko had a dangerous vibe before, what about now, when we know more about her? I don't care if I'm still injured. Because my friend's life is more important to me than a few more weeks at the hospital."

"Oh really? How selfless of you Megurine!"

Oh, I recognized that voice all too well, my body was shaking because of it. I was sweating like a pig, and my eyes were filled with terror.

"Shion Kaito. What are you doing here?"

He ignored me, and the hostile looks he got from the others in the house.

"Remember when I told you about what would happen if Hatsune Miku got near any of our people? If she tried to "solve" the case?"

I gasped, and a few memories flowed through my mind, but I kept a straight face. I had to, because right then, everyone's lives were in my hands.

"How could you expect me to? With everything you did, I forgot a lot of things. Who would want to remember such horrible memories?"

He took no regard in my words, or the fact in them, at all.

"Oh yes! I told you that I would kill someone precious every time she nosed in!"

I tried to keep the terror out of my voice, "But wouldn't that mean she wouldn't want to negotiate with you? What if whoever is behind this doesn't tell you much? What if they punish you, hm? You don't know much about anything, don't you?"

At the word "punish", the man flinched, trauma seemed to be coming back to him. I smirked faintly, feeling triumphant. This is what I needed. Something that made him lose his own balance. Weakness, trauma, lack of information. Those were his weak points.

I continued when he stayed silent, "So, if the ringleader of the cruel thing here is really Hatsune Mikuo, then I really don't think you should kill any of us here. Sakine Meiko had a niece and a nephew, who are here in this room. If Mikuo is truly alive as you say he is, you would be severely punished for hurting, or killing, Gakupo and I. Don't you see? I'm not the one who's cornered here."

"You are!" Rin grinned sadistically, holding an axe at his knees.

"So blind, so blind, aren't you?" Len smiled, a crazed glint in his eyes. He was holding an axe at the man's chest.

"Do you really think I would let anyone hurt Luka here?" I blushed slightly (although it really was not the right time) at my fiancée's words. He was holding a rifle at the masked man's head.

"Now, I best think you leave, and don't come back. I can blow up this whole building if you wish." I smiled as well. This bluff was dangerous, but if it pulled through, we would have some peace, at least for a while.

I could tell Miku was smirking right now, knowing that her information, our precious things, and the chance of a lifetime, were all in her hands.

Good luck Miku, because wherever you are, I know you're going to need it.

*ARGH! I WAS DOING STUFF WITH MMD AND DIDN'T UPDATE! THE SURPIRSE IS POSPONED TO TODAY! I'M SO SORRY! D:! …..whew. Now that I go that out of my system…..hope you liked the chapter!* He wa
