Hey there, So yeah, chapter 3's up. With any luck I may be able to finish this story before my Christmas vacation ends. Thanks for taking the time to read and drop a review when you have the time. Enjoy Reading ^w^.

(-In an abandoned building...-)

A boy, probably no older than 17 ran through the streets with a camera in his hand. He made a dash for a small building hidden by several apartment complexes. He dashed in and made a break for the middle of the building.

"Boss Al!" He yelled.
"What is it?"

A man, seated in the middle of the room behind a desk looked at him. He has a muscular build and his hair is sleeked back against his head, revealing his forehead with stitches from one side of his head to the other, making him look like Frankenstein's monster. The boy handed over his camera and he scrolled through the pictures, all of which were of a teal haired girl in twin-tails.

"Who is this?"
"I saw her walking out of a school with her" The man grinned.

"Get everyone together, and hurry."

(-Down Town-)

After their little event played out in front of the school, Miku ended up joining the twins, Meiko and Kaito to a cafe'. Nobody really has the energy to talk, or eat for that matter, the food they ordered hadn't been touched since the waitress placed them on the table. Rin and Len sat across from Meiko, Miku and Kaito. Luka really doesn't know who they are. Heck, because of her frequent skipping the two seniors didn't even know she attended the same school that they did.

"...Since when has Luka been coming to our school?" Meiko asked Miku who didn't look at her.
"...She transferred here last year, on her first year of high school" Miku answered, staring at the cafe table.

"Has... she always been.. like that?" Len asked.
"Yeah..." Miku proceeded to tell them about her little encounter with Luka a year ago.

Miku was so happy when her homeroom teacher introduced Luka as a transfer student. She wasn't wearing the proper uniform and her hair is a little ruffled, but she gave off a playful aura that made everyone like her in an instant. The teacher pointed her to the empty desk right next to Miku, her heart went mad. When the pinkette made eye contact with Miku and smiled at her, she though that she'd be like the Luka that she knew in her past, the playful and mischievous little demon that always got in trouble. She was right about her being a trouble maker, she gets suspended a lot, but Luka acted as though she had no idea who Miku was. One day when she caught her alone, Miku decided to confront her.

Miku walked through the halls making her way back to her classroom after a bathroom break. Since it's the middle of the day and everyone is in class, she didn't expect Luka to be standing by the window talking with someone on her phone.

"I'm coming right now whether you like it or not!"

She flipped her cell to a close and started to run,

"Wait!" but Miku stopped her. She looked back with an annoyed look on her face but then it disappeared when she saw it was Miku.

"Oh, hey there, I'm kind of in a hurry right now, what is it?"
"You... you're skipping class again?"
"Yeah, pretty much"

Miku didn't reply and she just stared at Luka. For a second she thought that a teacher was behind her or she had something on her face. When Miku didn't say anything she started to leave again.

"Look, if you have nothing to say I really have to go-"
"Wait! Don't you- don't you know who I am?" Miku asked, her voice almost cracking.
"Yeah, of course I do," Miku felt a glimmer of hope "Hatsune Miku right? The class rep." Miku's heart dropped a thousand feet. The expression on her face was so crestfallen that just looking at her gave Luka a sinking feeling in her chest.

"Uhm... I think you have me confused with someone else... sorry, but I really have to go!"

Luka ran off. Miku stood there as Luka's back got smaller and smaller until she completely disappeared.

Nobody said anything for a while, as Miku told her story they also started eating. Rin sluppered up her orange juice and sighed.

"This sucks..." she said.
"I know right?" Meiko added.

They sighed altogether. Kaito stuck a spoon in his mouth and asked the air in front of him

"How are you coping with it, Miku?" Miku looked at him
"What do you mean...?" she asked him back.
"You liked Luka-nee didn't you?" Len said.
"Awawawa-what on earth are you talking about?!" She exclaimed, backing up against the glass window.

They all laughed out loud as the blood crept its way up Miku's face. She sunk down in her seat, bowing down to hide her face. Yes, Miku has had crush on Luka for more than seven years, even now she still likes her.

"Haha! It's amazing that you still like her after all this time Miku-chan" Meiko said, still giggling a bit.
"Shut up!" Miku's voice came out muffled because of the table under her face.

"Yeah, I can't even imagine the love of my life completely forgetting my entire existence and having to spend each and every single day with them in class without them knowing who I really am, haha"

Kaito said with a smile on his face. They all stared at him as he happily ate his ice cream, not really caring about the things that he just said. Miku smacked him on the shoulder, her face still red. He's still as dense as he was back then.

"Well, I don't exactly spend every single day with her, she skips class a lot" Miku said, sounding a little dejected
"Oh, well that's even worse isn't it?" Kaito said "going to class hoping that one day she just might walk in through those doors with no luck whatsoever" Meiko smacked him this time.

"Hey I know! If Luka-nee doesn't remember us how about we just be friends with her now?" Rin asked.
"She may not remember us from before, but what's stopping us from making friends with her?" Len added.

"What do you think Miku?" Meiko asked the younger girl.
"I... I don't know..." Miku began "her amnesia could be temporary... and if she hangs out with us she could remember everything and she'll end up hurt and she'll-" Kaito placed his hand on her head, smiling at her.
"First off... how did Luka forget us in the first place?" Meiko asked.

The topic lightened up the atmosphere surrounding them a bit and soon they started talking like normal, even Miku joined in. But it had to come to an end, it was getting too dark and they had to go home. As Miku waved goodbye to them at the train station, she proceeded the lonely walk home, in the dark evening streets.

"Where are you going kid?"

Miku turned, only to be greeted with a smack to the back of her head. Her body collapsed to the ground and she blacked out.

(-By the riverbank-)

The battlefield for tonight is the riverbank near the bridge connecting down town to the residential area. Gakupo and his group are all ready to beat the hell out of the other for defending the city as their territory. Only they've been waiting for over two hours and no one has showed. They lazed around the bank, chatting as they waited for the people who would probably never come.

"What the heck boss?" Luka asked the man toying with a wooden sword, he normally has a real sword with him.
"I guess they're not showing." He said, wiping the sword in his hands.
"Agh! To think I was really looking forward to this those annoying little-!"

"Sorry to keep you waiting!" A deep, loud voice echoed. Everyone scrambled to their feet and turned their heads left and right, up and down for the source of the voice.

"Over there!" Someone yelled, just above the bridge stood the figures of several men just as big as Gakupo's group.
"So, you finally showed!" Mikuo yelled from below.

"I apologize for our tardiness," The boss, Big Al, said in a voice loud enough for anyone to hear "I brought one of your friends with me as well!"
"What?" Gakupo looked up, a hostage? He knows that all of his men- and one girl is with him, who could he have as a hostage?
"Miku!" He slung her body over his shoulder for everyone to see, Luka made a break for the bridge but Mikuo stopped her, along with several other members.

"Let me go! She's in trouble! They'll-"
"What do you want in exchange for the girl?" Gakupo asked.

"Oh I think you know very well what I want," Big Al said, "Give me the city and the girl is yours"

"Alrigh-"
"No! Boss!" Luka yelled in objection.
"Don't be stubborn! We can get our territory back anytime, that girl could get hurt if we don't hand the place over now."

"B-but..." Luka didn't want to hand their territory over without a fight, but she didn't want Miku to get hurt either. She shot a look at the big man standing on top of the bridge, holding Miku's unconscious body over his shoulders. Coward. That was the only thing that came to mind when she looked at him. Luka gave up struggling away from her holders and Gakupo looked at all his members. Everybody seemed okay with the idea, except Luka with a bit of hostility that is.

"Alright, the city is yours" he said. A big grin plastered itself on Big Al's face.
"Alright! The girl is yours!" He dropped Miku's body over the bridge.
"BASTARD!" Luka made a mad dash to break Miku's fall, falling from that height could give her a major head injury.

Luka barely made it, she caught Miku in her arms and crashed against the ground pretty hard. She looked at Miku and she doesn't look like she has any injuries, Gakupo and Mikuo ran up to them checking to see if both of them are okay.

"Is she okay?" Gakupo asked.
"Yeah..."
"Take her home kiddo, we'll take care of things here" Mikuo said.
"Right" Luka got up and carried Miku away, princess style.

(-The Park-)

Miku slowly came to her senses, but she didn't open her eyes. The last thing she remembers is going home, then someone smacking her at the back of her head. Which means she was knocked unconscious, which means its night time, which means she could be on the cold unforgiving road right about now. But her head is resting on something soft, and her body doesn't feel like it's lying down on the ground, moreover there is something resting on top of her hand... her eyes slowly opened. The first thing she sees; Luka's sleeping face, and her hand on top hers.

"Awawawa-!" Miku sat up and backed away.

They're in the park,

she was using Luka's lap as a pillow,
like a real couple.

She couldn't stop the blood from flowing to her cheeks at thought of what they might have looked like. L-Luka... Luka was... Luka was was- Pheeww~! She could feel the steam pop from her head, she could feel her heart pounding in her chest. The sight of Luka's sleeping face did not help to calm her down. Her skin so fair and smooth, her hair as soft as silk, her eyelashes long and her pink lips slightly open- her lips. For a second Miku thought of what they would feel like... if they were pressed against her own... She didn't realize that she'd been zooming in on Luka's face until their lips were only an inch from each other.

"Ngghh..." Luka stirred, Miku backed away from her and sat straight on the bench, "Oh... morning princess," she said.
Miku nodded her head, again with no eye contact. Luka mentally sighed and looked at her watch, 8 pm, she fell asleep for an hour. She stood up and stretched.
"Come on, you better get going, your parents could be looking for you" Luka said.
"Oh..." She brought her phone out and saw that her inbox has been flooded, by her parents. "Oh dear..." She made a quick message telling them she's going home.

She looked to her side and Luka was already walking away with her arms behind her head, without even saying goodbye.

"W-Wait!"
"Hm?"

The pinkette looked back at her, but Miku didn't say anything. She stood there looking at her, she looks as though she wants to say something but her mouth isn't opening. Luka sighed and scratched the back of her head.

"Look, I'm sorry" she started "I'm not who you think I am, whoever that person is," Miku could feel her heart sinking as Luka kept talking.

"I've never met you before high school,"

We have met before...

"We've never been friends,"

We were the best of friends...

"I don't know anything about you,"

You know everything about me!

"and you don't know me,"

I do know you!

"The point is; we've never met,"

Stop it Luka...

"So, you better just stop this before you end up hurting yourself,"

It hurts...

"I'll just... go now, good bye."

Don't say that... please don't say that...

Luka left without looking back.
Miku stood there in the middle of the park, unable to talk, unable to move. Every word that came out of Luka's mouth hit her like a dagger to the heart. She didn't know what she was saying... it's just the amnesia... but she said everything while looking her in the eyes, with a straight face, not a hint of doubt in her words. She didn't hold back the tears anymore, no one was around anyway. They cascaded down her cheeks accompanied with a request that no one could fulfill,

Please... bring her back to me...
