Chapter 4

"A bird's poem"

"Oyasumi~" Aoki sang out to the birds from her window, which were already sound asleep. She layed in bed and looked up towards the ceiling. She closed her eyes and soon she was asleep too.

Outside Len had been doodling and saw Aoki look to window. "Oyasumi~" He heard. He stood up and realized she hadn't said it to him. He looked at the time and saw it was getting late. He walked into his home and layed on the couch.

"Theres a concert tomorrow.." He thought and closed his eyes.

"Aoki~chan!" Miku yelled. "who are you...?" Aoki said waking up. "Hatsune Miku-chan! Anyway, are you ready for today's concert?" Miku said waving a leek in front of Lapis's face.

"Concert?..."

"Yea! I hope you have your song ready!" Miku said and pulled her by the arm to Luka's room.

"Luka-sama! Prepare her!" Miku let go of Aoki and ran away.

"So.. Lapis. Take your costume." Luka handed her a blue dress that combined with Aoki's Blue-purple hair.

"Do I have to put it on?" She said as she saw the short length of the dress.

"Yes! Hurry or you'll be late." Luka shoved Aoki into the bathroom and locked her.

Aoki looked at the dress once more and sighed. She felt odd at the thought of putting on the dress, but she did it anyway.

Aoki opened the door and Rin appeared with a load of makeup. "EHH?..!" Lapis yelled.

"Let's see how you look with make-up!" Rin began putting her makeup and as she finished she looked closely at Aoki.

"Nuhuh." Miku said walking into the room. "Might as well take her like that" Luka said.

"We present to you a new vocaloid! " Miku screamed to the large crowd at the concert.

The crowd yelled in happiness and Miku looked down with an evil face. "Let's see if this one is one of those too." Miku thought to herself.

Aoki came to the front and looked towards the crowd. Miku went backstage and listened closely. "I'm.. Aoki Lapis."

"I would like to thank everyone for coming. This song.. was insprired by a story I read before. I hope you enjoy my first song."

Behind stage Miku began to laugh in a very evil way. Kaito Looked at Miku and backed off just in case. Rin walked near Miku and smirked, also listening closely.

"Let's see if she can really sing." Luka told Len. "She can.. but I'm not sure how good she is at composing."

Aoki began to sing. "It's a love note that I found in my heart, I'm looking for something, I hope that you will find.
My heart is looking for that one~ who can figure who I am.
I wish that you would come~ If it's you, why don't you say it?
If your here, why can't I see you Tell me ~ Will you respond to this love note?…"

"No way." Len said and walked closer to listen better. "I bet she can't sing." Luka said.

"I really don't know of this feeling of love, But I feel very fond of this person who's not here. I am looking for you, I'm not sure if you exist but.. I hope this note gets to you."

"Dang it." Miku said angrily. "I guess she got lucky this time" Rin responded.

Len listened to the lyrics, which sounded what he had once written on his notepad. "That's.. impossible.. " He said and his eyes got teary. "What, your girlfriend can suddenly sing?" Luka said teasing him. "No.. it's something else." He said as he kept listening.

"Hey bro, you okay?" Kaito told Len. "Yeah." He said with a blank expression.

"Thank you all for coming!" Miku concluded at the end of the concert.

"You guys were great!" Gakupo said to the group.

"Especially the newcomer! What a sweet voice!" Said Lily.

"I think Rin and Miku sing better" Aoki said.

"I love you!" Rin said hugging Lapis.
Aoki froze in silence and then giggled.

"Let's all go for Ice cream!" Kaito yelled.

"Okay!" Rin said running to Kaito.

"I need to do something at home. I'll catch up to you guys if I can." Aoki said.

"Okay, see you then!" Military said waving goodbye.

Lapis walked home alone and walked into her room. She walked up to her window and looked at the birds as they sang a song. "How are you doing?" She spoke to the birds. "I really don't have any friends.. but I'm hoping you guys will listen. is than okay?" She said to the birds once more.

A bird chirped and flew to her window. It stood quietly listening.

"Well.. today I was told to sing to a big crowd and I wasn't very good. The song came from the note you gave me.. but I feel that I shouldn't have been the one to sing it. Your way better than I am at singing!" Aoki smiled and looked at the bird. It was small, fluffy and the same color of Aoki.

"It was from a paper I saw a boy drop a couple of weeks ago. I think you probably know him." The bird said in response.

"Kaito..? Gakupo..? Len..? I don't know many people." Aoki felt bad that she didn't know many people.

"I don't know. But he seemed pretty friendly. Unfortunately, he doesn't understand what I say like you do."

"I thought everyone could understand. Don't people ever talk to you?"

"Somme will speak to me but they don't understand what I say. Your the only person who can talk tome and understand."

Aoki giggled and pet the bird. "Well I guess it's my pleasure to do so. Im Lapis Aoki. What's your name?"
