Vocaloid School Stories –Chapter 4: Surprises
Miku P.O.V.
-9am in the morning, Saturday.
I could hear our alarm clock ringing. I turned to the right side of the bedroom and saw that Rin was still sleeping; for some reason, Rin is not affected by the alarm's annoying beep. I am so jealous of her because of that. Len had told us he would meet us at 10am in the city center. I threw my favourite stuffed animal to her head.
"Hey, Rin, wake up!"
"Huh? Oh, it's bright already." Rin got out from her bed, she went towards the bathroom slowly, still yawning; I was surprised by how quickly she got up to her feet.
I grabbed some clothes and hurried to the bathroom before Rin went in. I closed the door, took off my clothes and took a shower.
Rin P.O.V.
Today was the day I had feared for a whole week. Why did I even accept to go with him? What could I have been thinking in that moment?
I sighed and lied again on my bed. The stuffed animal that she had thrown me fell to the floor. What was really bothering me was that Miku seemed so happy about going out with Len. For a moment, I thought about staying and leaving them go alone; if Miku liked Len, then why not let her be? Why was I even telling her to get away from him? I was deep in my thoughts when I noticed Miku had finished her shower.
"That was quick."
"That's because I want you to take one too, and it's already late!" Miku turned to see the clock.
"Did you just call me dirty?" I snatched her stuffed animal up off the floor and threw it into her stomach.
"Aw, come on, don't take it too seriously! Just hurry up and take your shower, okay?" she said as she combed her hair.
"Okay, okay, but don't expect me to finish quickly," I said, taking the plainest clothes I could see from my closet. Len didn't deserve to see me wearing my finest clothes.
After showering, we headed to the bus station and took the one to the centralcity. It was already 10:20am; I couldn't wait to see Len's desperate face as we had arrived so late, heh. By the way, Miku seemed angry with me...
Miku P.O.V.
I couldn't believe she had done this to me; she had taken a 40-minute shower! Anyways, we got out from the bus when we arrived at the city center.
"He said we would meet in front of the fountain, right?" I asked Rin, who was looking around.
"Yep, there is the fountain." She pointed to a big, golden fountain.
She looked around a bit more, I also did, but we didn't seem to find him. I turned to see Rin who was totally red, probably because she was angry.
I sighed and took a seat on a bench next to the fountain; Rin headed for the drink machine and got my favourite juice.
"Here you are," she said, handing the drink to me, she sat next to me, she opened her juice can. "If that idiot doesn't arrive in 5 minutes, we will just leave without him!"
I smiled nervously at her; what else could I do? I knew she hadn't wanted to come, and I knew she only came because she didn't want me to stay alone with Len. I opened the juice can and started drinking.
"Hello Miku, Rin." I heard Len's voice from behind as he touched our shoulders—Rin spat out her orange juice in shock.
"Geez, Rin, what are you doing?" he asked, making fun of her.
"It's your fault, coming from behind and touching us without even warning!" Rin stood up, giving him the most evil glare I had ever seen in my whole life.
"Oh, I see, I didn't know you were such a chicken," he chuckled at her.
"Shut up, you idiotic brother!"
"Don't be like that, you are scaring Miku." He turned to see me, smiling gently. I blushed.
"Whatever, let's just go to wherever we're going, so I can return to my room as soon as possible."
"If you want to return as soon as possible, then why don't you just leave?" He looked angrily at her. This was getting serious—I didn't know what to say, I felt useless.
"Then I will just leave!" Rin said, storming off for the bus station.
"Please stay, Rin!" I shouted. She turned to see me, and walked back to my side.
"I-if you tell me to stay, then I will..." she whispered to me. I noticed she was blushing a bit.
Len smiled. He took our arms, and we began strolling around the city, everyone looking at us; we looked like a trio and Len seemed proud that people thought we were. I smiled embarrassedly at the people who were looking at us.
"What a jerk," Rin muttered.
Len P.O.V.
Miku's hand was so soft, so warm, and she looked so cute today! On the other hand, literally, Rin's hand was so cold and she was dressing as plain as a white sheet of paper. Rin's presence was bothering me, and although I wanted to keep my jolly personality, it was difficult with her glaringat me every second. I took them to a restaurant and promised I would pay for anything they ordered.
"Really?" Rin gave one of her evil smiles; I had a bad feeling in my wallet.
"Thank you, Len, but you don't have to do it, really." Miku smiled at me, as if she wanted me to insist on paying her bill.
"Okay, I won't" I said easily, looking at the menu they had just brought us. She looked a bit shocked, but if she had wanted me to pay, then why oppose in the first place? Rin looked extremely angry with me, like I could care.
"Ah, but you will still pay mine, right?" Rin asked.
"What a spoiled child you have become." I sighed. "Yes, I will."
"Rin..." Miku gave a sad look at my stupid sister.
"We have to go to the bathroom, right, Miku?" She took Miku's arm and headed to the bathroom.
"Don't forget to wash your hands," I shouted, wanting to bug them.
Miku P.O.V.
"That idiot, I'm going to kill him!" Rin stomped her feet to the bathroom's floor. "Don't worry Miku, I'll order what you want and give it to you, then the idiot will pay, just forget about him being a good guy!"
"Oh, okay," I said, a bit scared by her stomping.
"Let's make him suffer!" She smiled bravely at me, showing me her little trademark fang. I smiled back at her.
We got out from the bathroom just in time to see Len flirting with one of the waitresses.
"You idiot, just get back to the table!" Rin shouted, pulling him by his ear and walking him to the table.
"What's up with you?" he asked, annoyed and rubbing his sore ear once she finally let go of it.
"You shouldn't be flirting in front of us" Rin roared and crossed her arms.
"Miku, did you get jealous?" he turned to see me and asked confidently.
I looked down, since I didn't want him to see that I blushed. The whole date continued on just like this: Len constantly flirting on random girls, Rin freaking out and punching him and I could only watch them fight. I wanted them to get along but this wasn't going very well...it wasn't as if I was putting much effort into it, though. We noticed it was already dusk, so we decided to go back to the school. We walked through the empty, dark alleys of the city. It felt very creepy, but being with Len somehow made me feel safer. Rin was attached to my arm, making it difficult to walk.
As we passed through the school's big gates we saw two guys fighting; a purple-haired one and the other one had blue hair.
"You idiot, don't you dare talk to her ever again!" the purple-haired boy shouted, attacking the blue-haired one with a sharp katana.
"You are the one who shouldn't talk to her! Stop stalking her, you sexual harasser!" The blue-haired guy was completely unarmed so he was just trying to avoid attacks, but the purple-haired individual was very fast, so his efforts to evade were useless, his shoulder and chest were brutally slashed, while blood
We both hid behind Len, who was watching the fight with an amused face. He started walking towards them.
"No, wait, Len!" I shouted to him, but he ignored me and continued walking to them. The purple-haired guy turned to see him.
"Who are you?" He towered over Len in an intimidating way. "Stay out from this fight or I'll cut you in two!" The purple-haired one shouted, threatening him with his katana with fierce eyes.
"L-Len!" the blue-haired one said weakly as he was lying on the school's wet grass with many wounds.
"Len? Kagamine Len?" The purple haired guy looked at him as if he was scared. Len just nodded, smiling brightly. The purple-haired individual suddenly raced towards the dorms.
"Len, what are you doing here?" the blue haired guy asked, as if he was in the border of death.
"Now, now, don't force yourself to talk, Kaito-kun," Len said. He carried him and started walking.
"I don't get any of this!" Rin shouted as we walked to the infirmary.
'"Who was the girl you were talking about?" I asked the Kaito guy. He didn't respond—he looked far too weak to answer me, I realised.
"There's no need to ask him. I bet Megurine Luka was the one they were fighting for," Len said as I opened the school's door for him.
"Huh? Luka-chan?" Rin asked, surprised. She walked in front of him and stopped us.
"Luka-chan is being stalked by that guy?" she asked, after realizing what Len had just said. I looked at Kaito and then at Len.
"Many things happen in just one year. Megurine-san is one year older than you, right?" He continued walking through the school's hallways, supporting Kaito as he seemed to be passing out.
Rin started thinking, but she didn't really seem to understand very well what Len had said.
"Anyways, why did he run after seeing you?" I asked him. He ignored me and continued walking, we finally arrived to the infirmary, he laid Kaito's wounded body carefully on one of the white beds.
"What has happened to him?" the nurse asked, watching Kaito's body full of cuts.
"Ah, he got in a fight." Len kept on smiling even though the nurse seemed worried.
"Was he attacked with a knife? Did you see how it happened?" the nurse kept on inquiring us.
"He was attacked with a katana," I told her.
"A katana? Don't tell me it was Gakupo again!" she said angrily, almost shouting.
"Yep, it was him, again," Len said.
The nurse looked down, and started to work on Kaito's injuries. We left the school building and went to the school's garden, as we had done our part, but something wasn't right at all. I wanted to ask Len about who exactly this guy Gakupo was and what relation he had with Luka, and why he attacked Kaito. But, knowing Len, he surely wouldn't tell us—I guess asking Luka was the best way to know, but asking him was worth a try.
"Hey Len?"
"Yes, Miku-chan?"
"Who is Gakupo, exactly?" I asked him shyly.
"Ah, him? He is just a crazy sempai from class 2-B who is obsessed with your pink-haired friend." He sat on one of the school's benches and Rin and I sat on either side of him
"So he is Luka's stalker?" Rin asked him, puzzled; she looked pretty interested.
"It's weird that you have never seen him; his appearance is difficult not to notice!" He chuckled at us.
"Whatever." Rin looked angrily to another side, crossing her arms.
"I bet he is a short-fused person," I noted.
"Either way, just don't get close to him," he said as he stood up and stuffed his hands into his pockets. "I hope we can hang out another day like this, Miku!" he shouted happily.
"Um, okay," I looked down, blushing.
"Hey, don't forget about me!" Rin looked angrily at him.
"How can I forget my dear and annoying sister?"
He got closer to us and kissed me on the cheek, then he left for the boy's dorms.
"What's up with him? Kissing you like that! I'll kill him in class on Monday!" Rin seemed annoyed at me. The only thing I could do was blush, but I felt really happy that he had kissed me. We headed for the dorms, and even though it was just 8:16pm, we went to sleep; today had been a really tiring day.
