Hi! I'm happy to have updated sooner than usual, haha.
Summer is here early, and I have bad allergies so I've been sick a lot, but I hope you guys enjoy the new chapter and I'll update soon! =)

Miku sighed heavily as she glanced between two different kinds of chips, trying to decide which bag was honestly bigger and tastier from the logo. On the outside she wore a serious look, on the inside without a mask of emotions, she was irritated beyond belief. Kaito and Luka had decided leave the shopping for today after all the work they'd done, but when Luka called Miku to ask how she was and report that Kaito was busy, she had to fill his place.

Five O'clock Monday and I'm in a grocery store for Luka... She should be dead.

Though she knew there was plenty of time for sulking over that fact, she tried her best to avoid it and finish what she was doing. The bag in her left hand was yellow. Which reminded her of sunny days, sunflowers, and salty happiness in chip land. The one in her right was red, which reminded her at a glance of a bloody scene, scars, and exciting moments in the past. Of course either way it was still the same salty chip flavored snack with different companies marked on the bag, but she had to give it a little imagination. It made it more fun.

"I like the red ones best." Luka commented walking up. A basket of various sodas and other party related snacks tucked by her side. "But if you like the other ones then get them, it's really no big deal. Just remember we need at least eight bags, any left overs we can take home I'm sure."

"Right." She glanced back at the two then started grabbing up the red label bags.

If Kaito had came along to help then it would have lightened her mood a little, but he said he would stay behind at the school and work on ticket pricing and last minute details. Whatever that meant. She was starting to wonder about certain things regarding their relationship, like how many more women would be coming after him in the school. Could she kill them all if need be or frighten them enough to stay away? After everything she had went through she would try.

Within the year she'd gotten to know Kaito, Meiko hadn't always dated him. It was close to four months after he had stopped her from jumping off the school roof that Meiko asked him out. Miku had kidnapped her after shopping, and so that took care of that problem. Of course why exactly she kept her alive was still a question that came to mind constantly. As if her subconscious was planning something unknown.

Even with her out of the way, then Rin showed interest. At least it seemed that way to Miku. She showed concern for him and that could have easily blossomed into a crush. Rin, cute and funny, everyone loved her. But since her and her brother were so close, she also had to kill him. It was sad in a way, since he hadn't actually done anything remotely close to loving Kaito. A shame.

And now of all people, who had guys of various types flock to her, Luka revealed that she liked Kaito. What annoyed Miku the most was that this hadn't happened till after Meiko was out of the way. Before that she hadn't seemed to show interest in him, or at least she hide it well. In her opinion, that was a backstabbing move to pull of a friend. Then again she didn't really believe in true friends, they were just simple acquaintances that helped pass the time.

After I get rid of Luka there will be no one else close enough to him that would fall for him. I can't help wonder now, when will Rin and Len be found? They should start to smell soon... Damn.

"Miku? Hey Miku, are you alright?" Luka's voice aroused her from deep thought as she lightly tapped her shoulder. "You've been staring at those for a while, do you want some?"

"Um..." She blinked at a loss for words. Somehow during her small recap in mind she'd made her way from the chip aisle to a completely different one. Standing before a shelf of sweet tooth satisfying snacks, from candy bars to cookies.

Without waiting for a reply Luka picked a box of pocky from the shelf and smiled. "We can share it. It's been a while since I've had something tasty like this."

Miku nodded and returned her smile as the two headed toward the check out together.

Miku had to admit, sharing pocky with Luka on the train wasn't so bad. She faked the smiles and laughed at the jokes as they talked from boys to the films they'd both saw a few days ago. The movie Luka had seen sounded a lot better than a horror flick. Even if she liked the sight of a blood shed or could stand to cause one, there was nothing she loved more than romance and true love. She was mushy deep down inside.

As she sat the bags of party supplies down in the kitchen, she hurried into her room to check on Meiko. Even if she was just a pawn in a chess game, she came in handy for Miku to vent her anger and feeling to in times of need. Besides, if she couldn't talk to anyone else yet about how crazy she possibly was and Meiko was going to die anyways, why not hide nothing? She wouldn't slip up like in a movie and let her escape, that was for sure.

"You'll never guess who I went shopping with today." She said while helping Meiko from the closet.

"Gee, was it Luka?" Miku shot her a fake look that demanded to know how she knew so well.

"I'm actually paying attention to the things you say. You've looped me into your madness."

With a smirk Miku help a finger up to her as she walked form the room shutting the door behind her. It wasn't for several minutes that she finally returned, a plate in hand with a sandwich that looked cheap bought from a convenient store, but still good enough to eat.

To Meiko's surprise she grabbed a pair of scissors off her desk and cut her ropes free. "Um... thanks." She took the plate. It was to strange, compared to the rage filled fit Miku had been in last night, and almost killing her in the process. She seemed harmless now.

"Don't get use to it, I'm just in a good mood."

"Why?"

"Luka and I are going shopping for our costumes tomorrow and I've already planned how I'm going to kill her."

Meiko paused from eating as memories of the past night surfaced. She'd offered to let her pick the knife that would end her life, but she had been praying she wouldn't really do it. Stealing her boyfriend or not, it wasn't worth killing Luka. "You'll... stab her?"

Miku laughed. "No not at all I have something completely different in mind, and unlike Rin and Len this will be a complete accident. Mostly."

At that moment her cellphone rang in the other room. She lifted from the bed and took off quickly leaving Meiko alone, who somewhat considered making a break for it, but saw it would most likely end up being a mistake. She attempted to choke down the rest of the food so she wouldn't feel starved during the night like other times. Within that small cramped closet it took what felt like forever to fall asleep sitting up. But what worried her the most now was what Miku had said. What had she done to or with Rin and Len?

Miku grabbed her phone, and unknown number requesting her to answer. "Hello?"
"Hi, this is Detective Yamakura, I'm looking for a miss Hatsune Miku."
"Speaking." A bad feeling formed in her gut at the word detective.
"I'm sorry to bother you, but a little while ago two students were found dead in the girls restroom of your school. It's important that we ask all those close to them and there during the day of the crime to come to school early tomorrow for interviews. We want to figure out who could have done this."
She bit her lip. "Of course I understand. May I ask who the students are?"
"Kagamine Len and Rin. Both sibling were found dead together, it's a horrible sight. You were close to them right?"
"Well actually I was closer to Rin, I only knew of Len a little but we never hung out."
"That's fine, I'll have a few questions to ask you tomorrow then. Make sure you're here and I appreciate your cooperation miss Hatsune."
"Of course." Miku hung of the phone the moment the detective had. They didn't suspect her it seemed, of course they did a little if they wanted to talk to her. Then again she was somewhat a friend to Rin, at least to others it seemed that way. It was alright, there was no way they would think it was her once she put on the shy-quiet-girl act.

Meiko could over hear Miku talking but couldn't completely make out what she was saying. When she heard footsteps approaching, Meiko sat the plate down and turn toward the bedroom door. Miku walked in with a different look on her face than before. She had had somewhat of a smile, but now it seemed like someone had just stolen something precious away from her. She looked slightly worried but at the same time annoyed.

"Who called?"

Miku glanced in her direction as if she'd forgotten she was even sitting there. "No one important, just a nosey cop. I'm feeling tired and I have a lot of shopping to do tomorrow for me and you."

Meiko got the point right away, she was planning to lock her up for the night, but of course she was planning to at least try to figure out something about what had happened.

"Why would you get me anything if you're going costume shopping?"

"The dance idiot, don't tell me you forgot? I find it impossible."

Her eyes widened with shock. "You mean you're taking me to the dance with you?"

"Now Meiko," Miku worked her way across the room and grabbed a fresh set of rope in one hand and the flashy sharp scissors in the other. It wasn't hard for her to figure out what she planned to do, so she held her wrists together out in front of her. "You think I'd let you miss the dance? After all that's the last and most important night of your life. I wouldn't be so selfish."

Those words left her chilled to the bone. It was obvious that Miku was planning something big on that special night, related to Kaito somehow, but Meiko hoped that if she would be able to leave the house she'd have a better chance of escaping. Considering how many people would be there it seemed like the odds might tip in her favor. Without warning Miku pulled her to her feet and started her in the direction of the closet.

"Miku wait, I have to ask you one last thing... What did you do to Rin and Len?"

In a silent stare between the two her lips formed into a grin that was almost ear to ear as she replied, "You can't guess? I killed them."

And your turn is coming soon... Very soon.

...Meanwhile...

Detective Yamakura couldn't help but get a sour feeling in his stomach as he scanned over the bodies of Kagamine Rin & Len with his flashlight. Whoever had done this had planned it out well, though not to well if they wanted the bodies to be found, which was obvious from the location they were in. He'd seen plenty of school victims usually bullied to the point of suicide or killing others, but this was one for the books.
"One was strangled to death, you can tell form the marks on her neck. The other died of suffocation from the bag over his head." His partner Iramura commented.
"That's one horrific way to go. What kinda sick freak would do something like this?" The sight of the twins, hands clasped together, almost seemed like a poetic message yet also a tragic scene. "Who found them?"
Iramura flipped a small notebook out and opened it. "Janitor did a few hours after the school was cleared out. Said he was cleaning up and smelled something funny, upon looking in with a light he saw feet and called the police. All the possible friends and students who knew them have been contacted to come in as you know."
"Yeah, but I still can't imagine a high school student doing this, it seems to sadistic. More of a top ranking killer. The detail put into making the male twin suffer, whoever they were wanted them to feel fear as their last gasping breaths for air faded. Whoever did this, knew exactly what they were doing, they've had experience."
