I'm losing viewers...whaaa? -cries-

At least it wasn't my reviewers. Even though I only have two of them. Ah well.

"You were the one who suggested it," SeeU said, her voice rising, and Miku was confused.

"But-"

"You obviously hate me!" SeeU nearly shouted.

"W-what...I don't hate you," Miku said nervously.

"Then why'd you break up with me?" SeeU yelled forcefully, convincing enough for Miku to flinch. There was silence for a moment, as they attracted everyone's astonished attention. Miku finally realized that SeeU was a really good actor, and tried to play her own part.

"You were just using me!" she replied, as angrily as she could manage. She had to admit it was actually kind of fun.

"How?" SeeU exclaimed, and Miku would have almost believed SeeU had no clue if it weren't for the fact that Len and Rin were giving her thumbs up.

"You just wanted me to tell you all about Len," Miku taunted, tilting her head in rhythm with her last few words.

Rin nudged Len with her elbow and leaned close to him. "Aren't you just the ladies' man today," she said quietly with a mischievous smile.

"Oh please, everyone knows Len is dating Rin," SeeU asserted. Rin's smile dropped. She looked at Len's expression, which was just as worried as hers.

"Say something, Miku," Rin whispered nervously with urgency in her voice. Miku looked pretty shocked too.

"No he's not," Miku said as if it were the dumbest suggestion in the world. She tried to ask SeeU what she was doing with her looks, but SeeU didn't show any sign of understanding what Miku was getting at.

"You're just ignoring my question," SeeU kept going. "Why'd you break up me?"

Miku decided she wasn't having fun any more. "I told you," she repeated, genuinely angry now. "You would have broken up with me eventually anyway for Len!"

Len shifted nervously as some stares moved to his direction.

"So you were just saving me some trouble? What proof do you even have of this?" SeeU said, demanding an answer with her fierce expression.

Miku hesitated for a moment. She really didn't know what she was supposed to say now, but she knew SeeU couldn't stop the act to help her out. "I-" she started, still trying to decide if it was a good idea. "I saw you! In Len's room! While Rin was gone!" Miku declared, avoiding the accusation she didn't want to force on SeeU.

SeeU's expression faltered for a moment as a few daring 'ooh's resounded through the hallway. She realized it was fairly obvious what Miku had just implied. She was tempted to glance behind her and see what Len's reaction was. Desperate thoughts ran through her mind in a matter of seconds as she tried to figure out the best way to end the fight.

"Fine!" she yelled. "We're done! And I'll just stay single, because he doesn't even want a relationship at all!" she finished, pointing behind herself without actually looking at Len. SeeU put on her best hurt look, and stomped away.

Miku walked in the opposite direction, clearing a path for herself by glaring straight ahead. Luckily, the direction she was headed was to her room, but she had no clue where SeeU would end up.

When she got to her room, Miku just collapsed on her bed, glazed eyes staring at the ceiling. The fight had felt real to her at least, and she hoped that had ended any rumors about SeeU and her, though she didn't know if Len would be as lucky.

After a while, she heard a knock on her door. She opened it cautiously before she realized it was Haku. Miku welcomed her inside and sat down at the table. Haku sat down across from her.

"Where's Kaito?" Miku asked.

"With SeeU, Rin, and Len," she answered plainly, her gaze somewhat accusing, and Miku realized that they had probably witnessed the whole scene in the hall.

"Oh," Miku answered quietly. "Are they all OK? I mean, what we said in our fight didn't hurt anybody, right?"

"Well you and Rin are the best ones off," Haku said, some of the normal kindess of her voice absent.

"So what are people saying about...Len and SeeU?" Miku asked nervously.

"Well for starters, a lot of people that saw you fight seem to think that SeeU is the kind of person that would force a relationship, and even more than that, based on what you said." The disappointed look in Haku's eyes made Miku feel extremely guilty.

"It was the only way I could think of answering SeeU's question," Miku weakly defended, even though she couldn't recall the question at the moment. "SeeU didn't tell me exactly what I was supposed to say, so I didn't know."

Haku sighed. "They also think that it was implied that Len rejected Rin and Haku because he wants to be in a relationship with you. They think maybe he told you lies so that you'd break up with SeeU."

"But that wasn't either of our faults, was it?" Miku asked desperately.

"Well, between the overall fight and the testimonies of some who apparently witnessed a 'thing' between Rin and Len this morning at your room, it was decided that could be a reasonable story."

Miku pressed her face into her hands. "That was such a bad idea," she mumbled.

"You probably don't want to hear the last rumor that started about Len then. Some people think he just doesn't want to have relationships...with girls."

Miku looked up at Haku, realizing the implications of that statement. "Are you serious?" she asked, somewhat skeptical. "That's stupid."

Haku shrugged. "Doesn't matter what you think, a lot of people believe it. I suggest you go make up with Len and SeeU."

Miku realized Haku was right, and started out the door, with Haku right behind her.

"So whose room are they in?" Miku asked as she started walking.

"Rin and Len's," Haku answered shortly.

They walked on in silence, mainly because Miku was afraid that Haku was actually angry for once. Miku had never seen Haku angry, but she figured this was as close as Haku had ever been.

Miku finally reached the room and knocked on the door. Kaito opened it, and stepped aside so the two girls could go inside. Miku grew sad as she saw Len and SeeU, being consoled by Rin, who looked extremely unhappy.

Miku stood in the doorway, trying to figure out how to apologize. She knew she could apologize sincerely to Len, but she knew SeeU was the one who came up with the idea. Miku guessed it hadn't crossed SeeU's mind that even more rumors could spring up when she was just trying to get rid of one.

By now everybody in the room had noticed Miku, and she had to say something.

"Ah, I'm sorry," she said, addressing everybody, since it seemed like she had hurt everyone, even Haku and Kaito, who were very attached to Rin and Len. Miku looked at SeeU. "I'm sorry, SeeU, for saying something that was untrue about you during the breakup, because there were plenty of other things I could have said," she started.

Miku looked to Len, even though she felt like there should be more to say to SeeU. "I'm sorry, Len, for dragging you into something you really didn't need to be dragged into. You've only ever tried to help me, and what did I do in return? I hurt you, so I'm really, really sorry." Miku swallowed the guilt that she felt threatening to spill out as tears.

"I'm sorry, Rin, for dragging you in as well. One of the worst ways to hurt someone is to hurt someone they're really close to, and I did that to you, multiple times," Miku apologized, "I made you promise to sing a song you didn't want to, and I caused a bunch of lies about Len to form. I know you're trying your hardest to cheer up Len and SeeU, so thank you, but you don't have to do that. I should be doing that. You didn't do anything wrong."

Before Rin had time to say anything, Miku turned to Kaito and Haku, who both had small smiles on their faces. "I'm sorry that you guys even had to hear about this. It shouldn't have happened in the first place, and I really didn't mean to upset anybody," Miku said, as if she had been the one who suggested the fake argument. "But thank you, for helping us get back together,"' she finished quietly.

Miku bit her lip, waiting for someone to say something, to do something. Rin spoke up. "So...what are we going to do about the rumors that were started?" she asked, and Miku couldn't help but think she was probably avoiding saying 'by Miku.'

"Ignore them."

Miku was a little bit surprised. Sure, she could see Haku offering that solution, or maybe Kaito, but not Len. Len got the worst of it, and he could still suggest ignoring it? She looked hopefully at Len, who didn't look as downcast as before.

Len saw everyone staring at him, perhaps waiting for an explanation. "Well, what else is there to do?" he asked plainly. "We obviously can't try to get rid of them by pretending they're true, and I doubt those who want to believe them will easily be convinced they're not true, so can't we just pretend they don't exist?" he continued.

"But people will stare at us, or maybe do something weird based on the rumors," Miku objected, and then realized that was not a good thing to say, since there was hardly anything bad said about her, except maybe that she had broken up with SeeU and that was a bad thing.

"You were stared at," Len countered. "You were stared at when there was a rumor about you, and you didn't know there was one, so you didn't have any problem with it, did you? It wasn't until you knew there was one that you got upset."

Miku had to admit he was right. "OK, we'll ignore anything people say about us. I will not do anything to worsen those rumors," Miku announced.

"And I won't come up with any more bad ideas," SeeU spoke up. Miku had to laugh a little, even though SeeU was serious. She was kind of glad that SeeU had admitted to having a part in the problem.

"So we're all good now? No more problems or drama or anything girly like that?" Kaito asked, a joking smile on his face.

Everybody nodded, and Miku smiled. "OK then. I'm going back to my room," she said. "Not because I hate you or anything," she added quickly. "I'm just really tired. It is pretty late, after all."

SeeU nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I'd like to get some sleep too." She and Miku made their way out the door, and from the sound of the door opening and closing a moment later, they assumed Kaito and Haku were also leaving.

"Well, that was interesting," Miku remarked to SeeU.

"What? The apologies, or the whole day?" SeeU asked, glancing at Miku.

"The whole day," Miku answered. She rubbed her forehead. "I'm glad we've resolved the problems for us, but I'm a bit nervous about how the rest of the Vocaloids and Utauloids here are going to act now."

"They'll probably get bored of it after a while. I mean, think about it. If we don't really do anything that attracts attention, they won't have anything to do about the rumors."

Miku and SeeU got to their room. "I guess you're right," Miku said, before opening the door with SeeU. "I'll just relax from here until the concert, and then we can deal with whatever else happens."

SeeU smiled. "Good. Now go to sleep and stop being so restless."

Miku looked at SeeU indignantly. "I'm not restless. Not as restless as Rin and Len, at least."

"Sure, sure." SeeU dismissed Miku's statement with a wave of her hand. "Now go to sleep!" she almost yelled.

Miku dove into bed quickly and hid under the covers, but SeeU could hear her giggling. The two roommates both rolled their eyes and smiled at the same time.

So just for fun, I was looking up "breakup" and the result I got from Wikipedia was: "A relationship breakup, often referred to simply as a breakup, is the termination of a usually intimate relationship by any means other than death."

That's a relief. That would increase the death rate by a lot. Like, a LOT.

Reminder: there won't be anymore chapters for a month at most. However, I do have a short story I wrote about Cactus and Mirage that I can upload on Mondays and Thusdays to pass the time if you care to read it. If you haven't listened to/watched the story of Cactus and Mirage, you should. It's sung by Miku and it's just...really really sad.
