Well I got this done faster than I thought, I'm in a typing mood lol! XD As always please read and comment! ^.^v

The rays of the sun had fallen to night and the lights of the city took over, illuminating the darkness of Tokyo. Meiko stood at the entrance of the large shopping complex known as south square mall, dressed in her favorite red skirt and top, with her purse on her shoulder. She peered at the passing cars in the parking lot, wondering if any of them were Miku. She didn't know if she had a car or could even drive, maybe she was walking. Meiko had drove.

As she scratched at her head, she glanced over to see the her coming in the automatic doors. Her closes were more simply. Dirty jeans and a long sleeve top with sneakers, with a messenger bag thrown over her shoulder something Meiko might have possible been tempted to call poor peoples clothes compared to hers. Though she had made herself promise to be kind to Miku, so she wouldn't speak of it. "You're late you know?"

Bitchy comment much? That's only because I had to pick up something for you.

Miku sighed, "I know. My hair didn't dry in time, and I could find my wallet at first, plus the walk over he took a while."

So she had walked, well that explained a lot. Ignoring that fact Meiko shrugged, "It's fine. So do you wanna get started shopping? KawaiiGirl has the best clothes in my opinion."

Miku had heard of that place before, Rin had said something about it actually. Though she had never been there, in fact she had only been in the mall a couple of times. She didn't shop a lot, she liked buying her things offline from other parts of Japan or the world. It was more interesting in her opinion and the styles were so different. As she glanced over Meiko's body, she could imagine her in a orange dress that sparkled in the light at the dance, with some kind of a pumpkin charm in her hair or around her neck possible. Then she could see her dancing with Kaito while she stood by the wall. Of course he would give her a dance or two, but it wouldn't be the same. "Sure let's go shopping there, I've never been to that store."

Instantly Meiko gave her a look that said, 'Are you serious?' Then slowly her expression returned to normal when she realized that she had. "It's cool, there's a first time for everything, right?" She laughed as she took Miku's hand and pulled her along, playing a perfect act of kindness like normal friends would have done in public. Miku went along with it of course, she had to for now.

When they went shopping, Miku suggested a black dress and an orange dress, Meiko picked the orange as she had thought she would, with a red ribbon around the waist of it. After shopping, Miku only buying a hair clip at the accessories counter, they got smoothies and talked for a little while, then Meiko offered to drive her home. She took her offer of course and showed her where she lived, inviting her in for a snake or drink if she wishes. Meiko must have been having a nice time, because she accepted the offer, but stated only for a little while since she had to be home soon. Unfortunately, that was the last night anyone would see Meiko for a while.

When the bell for the last class rang, everyone who was helping with the dance fled from their classes and headed to the gym. Miku waited behind a little while longer for the twins, who were double checking to make sure they had everything they needed before they left the classroom. As soon as they were done, the two held hands and followed after Miku to the gym. She hadn't see Kaito all day, even though they didn't have classes together she normally saw him a little when he came to her class at lunch. She wondered how he was doing.

When Miku opened the doors to the gymnasium, she found a few more people that hadn't been their yesterday, helping with the decorations and the stage set background. Then she spotted Kaito over by the bleachers with Gakupo and Nero, he didn't look to good for some reason.

"Kaito! Kaito!" Miku called out to him as she skipped his way.

Kaito gave her a small smile and said, "Hey Miku." His tone was grim and his eyes were red like he had been crying before hand.

"What's wrong?"

Let me guess...

"Meiko never came home last night, her parents reported her missing this morning." Gakupo answered for him.

Miku blinked, "Oh... I'm so sorry."

He gave her another small grin that showed he would be alright for now. It was no surprise to her that he was sad, but the good thing was that she could help him get over it in time. Then he would finally be hers.

"I'm sorry to Kaito." Rin said, as she suddenly dropped into his lap and gave him a hug. Rin and Len were two years younger then their group and in one grade lower than they were, so of course they were more childish but still good friends. Though things were about to change. The second Miku saw Rin hugging Kaito, her eyes widened like a fish. A sudden wave of heat and anger came over her, as she backed away a few steps. She was about to have what she called, an episode. Kaito caught sight of her and stepped up toward her, "Miku are you OK? You look like you saw a ghost?"

"I-I..." Miku stuttered quickly, as she tried to find the words that fit in place, "I... I... Think I'm going to be sick!" She shouted, dropping her backpack as she bolted for the gym doors, causing a small scene. Kaito started to go after her, but Rin stopped him. "Don't worry, I'll check on her." She said jumping up to follow Miku.

"Man, I wonder what's wrong with her." Nero commented, as he looked to Kaito.

He sighed, "Her stomach was bothering her yesterday too. She might be sick, but I hope she is OK. Rin will bring her back in a bit I'm sure."

Len nodded as he watched his sister vanish behind the gymnasium doors. He glanced down at the floor to Miku's back, then slowly picked it up and started walking. He was sure Miku was fine but normally he never left his sister alone, so bringing her bag gave him a reason to follow after Rin.

When Miku reached the first stall in the girls restroom, she slammed the door shut and locked it. Her face covered in sweat, her chest filled with pain, and her breathing uneven as she began to hyperventilate. Head nails scratched her head as she grasped her hair, slowly sliding down against the door to the floor and sitting. Staring blankly at the wall before her. The dim gray and tan tiles never did look good to her, but that didn't matter at all right now. As soon as she had seen Rin hug him, she lost it.

"T-This can't be happening... Rin can't like Kaito as well, he's mine! I thought she wasn't a threat, but now... She must be removed..." Miku whispered to herself, as she continued to stare at the wall. As her mind started to slowly wonder to the possible thought of Kaito and Rin as a couple, her eyes followed the strange tiles pattern along the wall and rested on the large vent cover bolted above. Just as she spotted it, she heard the door to the bathroom open, and Rin's sweet small voice calling her name out in panic, asking if she was alright.

No... It's not me you need to worry about, it's you...
