"Torinoko City" -(Miku Hatsune)
"Hey Gumi, it's 4 already." Gumo said, grabbing his luggage bags. "Okay, I'll be there." She said grabbing her luggage bags and running by Gumo. "Let's go." Gumo opened the door and Gumi came out. He turned off the light and closed the door behind him. "Wait, I think Aoki is still in her room." Gumi said, putting down her bags and knocking on Aoki's door.
Aoki woke up and heard a knock. "It's open." She said, stretching. Gumi walked in and saw that Aoki had just gotten up from a nap. "Gumo, go to Rin's. I'll be right there. It's 4 already. " Gumi said. Gumo walked to Rin's and Aoki looked at her phone. "Oh Yeah.." She said getting up. She reached for her bags and looked around. "I hope I'm not missing anything." She said to herself, then looked at Gumi. "Come on, Let's go. They're waiting for us. Take your phone charger." Gumi pointed at Aoki's charger.
"Right." Aoki took the charger, putting it in her pocket then grabbed all the luggage bags with a hand. Gumi stepped out of the room and Aoki turned off the lights and closed her door. "Ready." She smiled. "Let's go to Rin's" Gumi said leading the way. Gumi walked in to Rin's room, followed by Aoki. Everyone else were already there.
"Nobody is missing right?" Rin said. "Nope." They all answered. "Okay, to the taxi!" Rin yelled, walking by her door. Everyone began leaving outside and Rin left last to turn off the lights and close her door.
They all for on and placed They're luggage in the trunk. They all got on and soon they were on the station to get on the shinkansen (bullet train) to Kyoto.
"Everyone take your ticket. We are on the green car. If you notice, you are all sitting by your partners. Get on as soon as I give you your ticket." Rin said handing everyone their ticket. Len got on first then Aoki followed. "You sit here." Len said, pointing to a seat next to his. up his luggage and helped pit Aoki's as well. They both sat down and quietly waited. "It's been a while since I was able to talk to you" Aoki broke the silence. "Yeah I guess." He said with a smile.
"How's everything?" She asked. "Good I guess." He said. "Is something wrong? You didn't seem so sure of yourself." She said looking at him. "Oh no. Everything is fine." He smiled then looked at the window.
Aoki looked to the side without knowing what to say. 'If only it wasn't so quiet...' She thought a bit nervous. Len looked at the small window and sighed. He really did want to talk to Aoki but he wasn't so sure. He didn't want to fall for Aoki who probably liked Kaito and he also didn't want to hurt SeeU if there was any chance that he might end up liking her.
"Being here makes me feel sleepy." Aoki said, then put her head on Len's shoulder and closed her eyes. Len felt his heart beat faster and felt himself become a bit red. He smiled and pet her head with his other hand. Soon Aoki had fallen asleep.
"Gumi.. Please don't tell him." Aoki mumbled in her sleep. Len looked at her and saw a tear come out of her eyes. "I don't want him... to hate me." She mumbled again. Len tried to figure out what she was dreaming but could not think of what she meant. "I like him... Len." She said very quietly.
'She didn't say Len. she did not.' He thought over and over becoming really nervous. 'Was she dreaming that she was talking to me? That has to be it. I'm probably imagining things..' He thought struggling to understand. He saw another tear come down her cheek and he felt like he had to do something.
"Aoki?" He said, lightly shaking her body. She woke up, sat straight and felt that there was tears on her cheeks. Len cleaned them with his hands. "You were crying in your sleep." He said. "I'm sorry." She said with a smile.
Len felt himself turn a bit red and simply smiled. "How much longer?" She said, looking at the window, which was in his side. "About.. half an hour" He said, looking at his phone. Aoki took out her phone and looked at the time. They would arrive at around 6. "Let me see your phone." Len said.
Aoki gave him her phone and he types something in there, then typed something on his own. "Here it is." He said, giving it back. Aoki looked and saw he had added himself onto her contacts. Suddenly she received a message from him. 'Hey Aoki c:' it said. Aoki giggled then looked up at him. "I'm right next to you! you don't need to text me right now." She said giggling. "Well, I am bored." He said.
"Wait, I brought something." Aoki reached into her tiny purse and took out a banana. "Here" She gave it to him. Suddenly his eyes lit up and took it gladly. "Thank You!" He said, giving her a hug. "No problem." She smiled.
"Aoki, your a really sweet person." Len said peeling the banana. "Thank You." was all she could think of.
"Len, describe me." Aoki said. He took a bite and thought about it. "Well.. your sweet.. nice... your cute... your a good friend... " Then he stopped. He couldn't get over the idea that she liked Kaito. 'He's like a brother to me..' He thought. It just didn't fit. Whatever happened next, it would all end up a tragedy.
He turned over to look at Aoki and saw her a bit pink, looking down. "Is something wrong?" He asked. "Oh no! Everything is fine!" She said very fast. "It doesn't seem like it." He said. "I... don't... feel comfortable talking about it." She said a bit nervous. "Here, take some." He said, putting a piece of the banana into her mouth. At first she was startled, but she giggled when she ate it. 'It's like there is so much in her, yet so little..' He thought.
"What's your favorite food?" Len asked. "Cookie." She said with a smile. She reached into her purse and took out a cookie as well. Len laughed at how happy she looked biting that cookie. "Wh-at?" she said, munching on the cookie. Len pointed at his cheek. Aoki cleaned her cheek with her hand. "There?" She asked.
Len reached over and cleaned a crumb from her cheek, then put it in his mouth. "Awee~!" She complained. "What, you want it?" He said sticking out his tongue. Aoki saw that the crumb was at the tip of his tongue and looked at him then at through tongue again. "No?" He said with a laugh. "Meanie.." She said, rolling up into a little ball.
"Did you really want it?" He said looking more serious. She put her head down on her knees. She kinda did.. but it would be awkward. He took a piece of her cookie and ate it. She looked at him with her mouth wide open. "If you really wanted it, you would of said so." He laughed again. "Meanie..! " She said putting her head back on her knees. Len pet her head.
Aoki put her head up and giggled. "What would you of done if I did want it?" She said giggling. He felt his heart beat faster and slightly blush. He hadn't thought that far. What if.. she did? 'She wouldn't.' He thought.
Aoki saw his serious expression and remembered what Gumi said.
"You don't have to say anything. It could make things awkward between you two if he doesn't accept your feelings" Gumi had said, not very long ago. 'He will never accept my feelings..' Aoki thought. "I'm just kidding! ~" Aoki said giggling.
Len smiled and pretended that he didn't think about that. "Hey, were here!" Len said, noticing that they had stopped. Everyone got up and Aoki began putting down her luggage. "I'll take yours too." Len said smiling. "But.. " Aoki said. "It's okay. I just feel like doing so." He said taking it. "Well.. if you insist." She said, following him out of the shinkansen. "The hotel is really close to here. We can walk our way there." Rin said, once they were all out. Gumi walked close to Aoki and poked her.
"Gumi!~" Aoki said smiling. "Do you remember if you've been here before?" Gumi asked Aoki. "I don't know? I don't think I have." Aoki responded. 'What does she mean by been here before?' Len thought. SeeU walked up to Len. "You brought lots of things!" She said smiling. "Oh no! I'm taking Aoki's things." He said laughing. "I'll help if you want to." She said."It's okay. I was the one who said I wanted to take her things anyways." He said with a smile. "Aww, how sweet of you. Take my stuff then." She said joking around. "Lazy..!"He said pushing her away. "You couldn't just say I already have too much at least!" She said. "Um..Nah" He said with a smirk.
"We're staying at this hotel." Rin ran into the hotel.
"It's so big!~" Aoki looked around. "You've never been to a hotel?" SeeU asked. "No.. It's my first time! I didn't even know these existed." Aoki said. SeeU looked at her with an odd expression. 'Never.. heard of one?' She thought. Impossible!
"There's four rooms with two beds in each. Stick with your partners." Rin said to all of them. "I get it Rin." Len laughed as he thought how she purposely choose to be with Kaito. "Shut up or I'll kick you out." She said. "Haha! Okay." He laughed, covering his mouth. "Here are your cards." Rin said handing one to Kaito, Gumo, SeeU and Len. "The number is on there." Rin said pointing at their cards. "We'll be leaving in 5 days. Do as you like, but be ready on January 2nd 12pm." Rin said, then left to her room with Kaito. Yuki looked at SeeU with a smile, then ran to her room, along with SeeU.
"Let's go to a karaoke in an hour. You in?" Gumo told Len. "Yeah!" He said. "Okay, see you then." Gumo said walking to his room with Gumi. "Let's go." Len said walking to his room. Aoki followed Len to the room. "And this is what a hotel room looks like." Len said opening the room. Rin had reserved high class rooms for everyone of them.
"It's so pretty!" She said, running into the room and throwing herself onto the bed. The room was large, and had a beautiful design. It included a flat screen tv and a laptop. A large leather couch was included as well. In the bathroom was a hot tub and a shower. It was the most luxurious room Aoki had seen.
"I would of never seen this if I couldn't sing." Len said throwing himself on his bed. "You never know." Aoki said. "You have no idea where I lived before." Len said. "What was it like?" Aoki asked, turning to look at him.
"Let's see... I'd wake up every morning and see a small crack on my ceiling. We all shared one bathroom. I couldn't take long because Rin would yell at me. My bed was very small and I didn't have that many blankets. We weren't rich. Rinto and Lenka said they would change it by going to Korea to parents were hardly ever home. They wanted to give us the most they could. At home it was mostly always just me and Rin and we had to cook everything ourselves. We went to a public school were Rin was once bullied. Everything was so different. " He remembered everything that had happened.
"Then what happened?" Aoki asked. "Life changed. We met Miku and found out we could sing. That was the start to everything." Len said.
