Miku jolted upward as she felt the vibration come from beneath her pillow. Miku saw the text from Kaito. He wanted to meet up, she knew what that meant. Either be humiliated by his words in public or be abused physical Miku never understood why she stayed in a relationship that seemed to become frail and was ready to fall apart. Though Miku was hurting within the relationship, she wanted to bite her tongue. She knew that her image was priority. Though she could care less now. She wanted to be happy, and how could one person just make her smile ever so much. Now, she was lost. who does she end up with? Does she stick with Kaito? Or try something new? Miku sighed heavily as she rubbed her eyes to read the texts better;
From Kaito [3:15am]:
"Hey. I want to take you out on date today. It'll be fun. And its been awhile. So, whaddya say?"
From Kaito [4:30am]:
"Look, I am sick of your shit ignoring me. Its pissing me the hell off. The Miku I knew stayed up late on Fridays. Now, you are going to bed early. What-the-fuck-ever!"
From Kaito [5:05am]:
"I am sorry. I guess I really wanted to talk too you. See you later. Love you."
Miku sighed heavily then sent back a text, that she would more or less regret later,
To Kaito:
"I am sorry. I did fall asleep early. I guess school is making me tired. So, I am sorry. Sure, we can go out on date later. Love you too."
Miku rolled over and went back to sleep. She just needed a couple more hours of sleep. Miku now remembered something very important, she was supposed to meet up with Luka today. Miku now jolted up. "Shit." She thought. Oh how this day was going to end badly.
Yuuma awoke as she rubbed her eyes with her middle knuckles. She tried to focus as she saw the bathroom light on, "L-Luka." She mumbled. She went to the bathroom and slowly opened up the door. What did she see? Luka frantically getting ready, "Lu-Luka its only like five in the morning. What are you doing?" Yumma asked,
"I am getting ready." Luka smiled. She saw Yuuma give her dumbfounded look. "Oh! I didn't tell you. I'm meeting up with Miku today. Miku's idea. I am really excited, yet, nervous." Luka giggled nervously,
"Okay. Still, its only five in the damn morning. What are you going to do, go to her place knock on the window, and ask her out right there and then?" Yuuma asked rubbing her eyes once again,
"Yu-Yuuma. I can't ask her out. She is dating Kaito. With that said, she is straight. Like I would have a chance." Luka almost spoke to discourage herself,
"Okay. Starters I wasn't talking about getting together intimately. And by the way. Miku may have a little thing going for ya." Yuuma smiled from ear to ear,
"Wh-What? Wh-why would you say that?" Luka asked, as she stopped,
"The way she looks at you. I mean, uh hello. She has been blushing like a fucking weirdo since you came to the school. I don't think that smile is for Kaito. Every time you walk in the room. Bayum! Blushing and smiling like some psycho." Yuuma stated with a warm and soft smile. "Just take it slow Luka. And can you keep it down? Some people like to sleep in on the weekends." Yuuma teased,
"I am sorry." She chuckled. "Get good rest, Yuuma." Luka knew that Yuuma was right. The pink hair female walked back to her bed. Maybe she needed to get a little more shut eye. Wouldn't that be a little better? Be well rested. Despite how many times she tried. Luka kept waking up, she then sighed. "I will just get some coffee." Luka thought then walked down the stairs, and saw the maid. She was doing the morning routine. Getting some coffee ready. Luka smiled as she was offered a cup of coffee, "Thank you." Luka smiled then took a sip. Best coffee in the world. Well, maybe all of Japan. Nonetheless, the coffee was amazing.
Miku took in a deep breath. She didn't want to blow off Luka, she couldn't. Yet, due to Kaito being her boyfriend. What else could she do? Miku looked at the time, she was meant to meet up with Luka at noon, unfortunately, what she was about to get. Would be the exact opposite of a happy moment. Miku had been ready for about two hours. During that time, Miku could've told Luka that she couldn't make the 'date' today. Possibly reschedule for tomorrow. No. Curtsy apparently was not in her vocabulary. Miku saw Kaito walking up to her, the time? 11:59am. She was trying to act happy. Acting and being are two different things. Miku knew she truly wasn't happy with Kaito. So why was she blowing off Luka for a guy that she was falling out of love with? Miku kissed his lips, to see in the reflection of the window, the pink hair female. Luka. Miku saw that she had gotten yellow roses. Immediately without hesitation within the reflection, Miku saw Luka running away, "Be right back." Miku stated, without giving Kaito a chance to reply. Miku was chasing Luka, "Luka!" She yelled at least three different times. To finally see her stop. Here came the ass chewing.
"H-How could you do that to me?" Luka began with the soft voice. "How could you make me believe that you actually wanted to get to know me better? How?" Luka lowered her head, to hide what she called shame. Or as someone else would call them, tears. "I really was looking forward to getting to know you. I was actually finding a reason to give someone a chance, outside of my family. I wanted to trust you. I wanted to be able to say that 'Hatsune Miku is this amazing person, that I've read about'. But I can't." Luka took a deep breath, before she could let her voice break. "You are just as heartless as the rest of them. You are a lying and conniving bitch!" Luka whispered with just as much as heartbreak one could. "Don't talk to me ever again. As of now, you are deleted from my phone." Luka rose her phone upward, and pressed 'Delete Contact'. Once asked; 'Are you sure, you wish to delete this person from your contacts'? Luka immediately hit yes. "Goodbye, Miku." Luka turned on her heel and walked away.
Miku was left there, with no words that she could've said. Luka was completely right. She had literally blown her chance of getting to know Luka more. When looking down, Miku knelt down slowly to pick up the roses. She saw a card that read; 'Yellow means friendship. A friendship that I know in my heart that'll never fade away. A friendship that will stay strong for the rest of our days-Luka'. Miku tried to hide the tears that began to smear her make-up. Miku slowly walked back to Kaito,
"Baby, are you okay?" Kaito asked,
Within a shaky voice that was so soft, Kaito barely heard the simple word; 'Yes'. When asked; 'What was her problem'? Miku didn't know how to respond, she just shrugged her shoulders. Miku had her date with Kaito. Instead of seeing Kaito, all Miku saw was the teary eyed female. The female that she would've rather spent her day with. Now, here she sat with a boyfriend that continued to ramble on and on. Miku didn't speak, and she nearly blocked every word out. Until he said, 'I love you'. Miku snapped too, "I love you too." Miku whispered. Slowly standing she felt Kaito's hand take her own. She didn't lace her fingers with his, instead she fought to stay away from the togetherness that their fingers were to be if they were had to be intertwined. Miku walked with Kaito, with no longer a smile. Just a fake mask, that made him believe that she was 'happy'. When she was the exact opposite.
At the same time, Yuuma was hanging out with Gakupo and his boyfriend, Gumiya. "So I said to he-" Yuuma was immediately cut off. She saw Luka literally look as if she was running away, "Be right back, guys." Yuuma stood and ran after her sister. She was concerned. Yuuma had thought that Luka and Miku were to go out and get to know one another. Yet, she saw Luka breathless as she had stopped running, "L-Luka?" Yuuma reached out to touch her shoulder,
Luka immediately swatted Yuuma's hand away, "Why?" Luka asked,
"Why what?" Yuuma asked,
"Why was I so blind to see that someone like Miku would even want to give me a chance? Or why did I believe that she even wanted to get to know me better? I was stupid, Yuuma." Luka whispered, with no tears rolling down her features,
"Whoa. What happened?" Yuuma asked,
"On the day, that her and I were to supposed to hang out. She chose to choose it with Kaito instead. When she promised me." Luka paused to put the tips of her fingers to her chest. "That she wanted to spend time with me to get to know me. I want to go home, Yuuma." Luka mumbled,
"Alright. But I need to make a stop to see Hashimoto. He is the big cheese of Crypton. I need to talk too him about the tour." Yuuma smiled briefly. "Luka, are you going to be okay?" Yuuma asked,
"Maybe one day. Just not today." Luka whispered. She walked with Yuuma to the car that she was not supposed to be driving. Yet, Yuuma was going to rebel. Once entering the vehicle, she immediately buckled up. She witnessed Yuuma do the exact same thing. Soon the car did a fast jolt as the car began to move. Luka had remained silent the entire way to Crypton. She had nothing to say.
Pulling up to building of Crypton. Yuuma looked towards her sister. She wanted to make her happy. In one way or another. Which there was a good way in doing so. Yuuma had heard her sister numerous of times singing. So, maybe what Luka needed was a career in Music. Yuuma smiled and brought Luka out of the car. She didn't tell her the entire truth of why they were there. This wasn't a visit to talk too Hashimoto upon her own accord. No. She was here to help Luka get started, in becoming happy again. Yuuma walked to the elevator and pressed the number ten button. "Are you okay?" Yuuma asked,
"Not really." Luka murmured,
"Eh. Things will get better, Luka. Just keep your chin up." Yuuma mustered. Once upon the tenth floor, Yuuma walked Luka to Hashimoto's office. "Hello, Mr. Hashimoto. This is my sister, Luka. The one I was telling you about. Okay, bye." Yuuma bolted out the door and shut the door behind her.
Now standing, Hashimoto walked towards the female, "So, Yuuma told me that you can sing. Is that correct?" He asked. His smile was softly. Though he did have a five o'clock shadow. His black hair was slicked back. He wore a regular grey suit with a white button shirt beneath the jacket,
"Ye-Yes, sir." Luka replied,
"No, need for the sir. You can call me, Mr. Hashimoto." He stated with a warm smile. "Tell me a little about yourself." Hashimoto motioned to Luka that she could sit.
"Well, I was recently adopted in to the Megurine family." Luka began, before taking a seat. "I absolutely love music. Music is my life, I couldn't live without music." Luka continued on. "Since I was a child, I wanted to be a singer. Whether it be in a band or going solo. Then when I first heard Mik-" Luka paused then looked down.
"Miku?" Hashimoto asked,
"Yes." Luka whispered then nodded,
"Well, I want to hear you sing. That'll tell me what do with you next." He stated,
"What do you mean?" Luka asked,
"Whether or not you become a Vocaloid. Follow me." Hashimoto stood then took Luka into the sound booth. "Alright, I want you to give it all you got." Hashimoto stated, "And don't hole back." Hashimoto was excited to hear Luka, after all Yuuma did rant and rave a how good she sounded.
Luka was to nervous. To sing was so hard to do right now. Yet, she knew that this was one of those moments. With a deep breath. Luka began to sing, 'World Is Mine'. Her eyes were closed, she now pretended that she was alone. To her nohow, Yuuma had entered the room with Meiko. Luka continued to sing, she didn't care right now. She was going to sing her heart. And oh did she. Not one moment did she ever go off key. She was singing the song perfect. Unknown to her, Hashimoto was not only stunned. No. He admitted to Yuuma and Meiko right there and then. That Luka sang the song a whole lot better than Miku. Once the song came to an end. Luka stopped. She tried to catch her breath, she was that nervous after singing the song. "Ho-How was that?" Luka asked,
"My office." Hashimoto stated, "Make sure you get everything ready." He said. He walked out of the room and went to his office. "After hearing you sing. It comes with heavy heart." Hashimoto smiled. "That I can't have you work for anyone else. Congratulations, Luka. You are officially a Vocaloid. Sign here. This will make it, you know, official." Hashimoto slid the contract towards Luka. He watched her sign the important document. "On behalf of the Crypton Family. I would like to say. Welcome to Crypton." He smiled, then immediately had to plug his ears from the squeal he heard. "Ready to make a single?" Hashimoto asked,
"A sin-gle?" Luka asked,
"Yeah. You know, a song that gets your name out there." Hashimoto stated,
"Yes!" Luka exclaimed. Walking back into the sound booth. She was handed a piece of paper. She only took five minutes. Once she was done, she literally had wrote her own lyrics. Luka didn't want another's work. She began to hear the beat. Luka was now singing for herself. The pink hair diva, was taking off. Her first hit, was to be; Luka Luka Night Fever. Luka didn't know that Yuuma, Meiko, and Hashimoto were fist pumping to the air. They too, were getting into the song. Luka was truly happy. Why shouldn't she be? She was the new Vocaloid. Luka was now on the fast track of being famous. Just how famous? Right now, no one knew. For Luka, fame was one thing, but being able to be on stage to sing her own songs was another. Luka couldn't stop smiling as she continued to record the song. Unaware to her, Miku had went into the other room. Even if Luka couldn't see, Miku was finally smiling again. Lets who exactly would turn out to be on top. For now, let the new diva sing her heart out. After all, she had came so far. She deserved this.
