Twisted Fairytales: Mikurella

Chapter 8

"So, how was 'studying?'" Luki asked Luka the moment she stepped into their home. He was lying on the couch, reading.

"It was fine. Why do you ask?" "Well, you seemed happy when you left, like you were going for a date."

"I was not." Luka denied.

"Ehh? Really?" Luki pouted. "I don't believe you, you wouldn't be so happy just to be a mentor." He did not get a reply, so he dropped the subject and grabbed another book.

"Maybe I am happy being a mentor." 'Her mentor.' Luka replied. "Whatever floats your boat, sis. Say, who are you teaching?"

"None of your business."

"Ooh, pretty secretive. Are you in a cougar relationship?"

"It's only a difference of two years, and we're not in a relationship!"

"Two years, so she's in year two. Or is it a he?" Luki gasped in mock horror.

"It's a she, and we're just senior and junior. End of story."

"Just? Did you say 'just'? Could it be… that you want to be more than senior and junior?" Luki teased, and Luka flushed.

"Shut up!" she tossed a cushion at him and walked off to her room, a heavy blush tainting her cheeks.


Miku stepped into the house humming happily. Although it had been a lonely walk home, her head was filled with the time she had spent with Luka, making it more enjoyable.

"Welcome back, so, how was it?" Rin asked.

"Oh, it was great, I finished today's work already." Miku announced proudly.

"That's a first." Len said in disbelief, and Rin shook her head as well.

"It's true!" Miku produced the piece of paper with all her answers.

Rin grabbed it and studied it. "Amazing, it's like you found the answer sheet or something." Len snatched it from her and stared wide eyed, shocked at the answers, complete with complicated working.

"My tutor is really patient." Miku was still grinning.

"A tutor? Who would want to tutor you?" "A senior." "Apparently. Who is that tutor?"

"Megurine Luka." "Megurine? You mean, the twins?" Len asked. "The female twin?" Rin glanced at Miku, who nodded.

"The one Lily-nee sai was cold and distant? Why would she tutor you? Did you bribe her or something?" "No! she volunteered to tutor me, when sensei was collecting my late homework from yesterday!"

"Wait a minute, she volunteered?" "Incredible, she volunteered?" Rin and Len said.

"Yeah, I was surprised too." "Surprised? Please, she's cold, distant and doesn't talk to people, yet she offered to tutor you, with no strings attached? That's so suspicious." Rin voiced out.

"You're thinking too much, sis. I say, this is a fabulous opportunity for you, Miku. You can meet her brother, Luki! You like him, right? You can ask her to tutor you at her home or something!" Len literally hopped around in excitement.

"I don't like her brother, jeez! I don't even know how he looks like!" Miku scowled. 'Not again, first Mikuo, now Luki? Great.'

"But Lily-nee said that you like Luki." "I don't! I swear I don't, if I do, I won't eat another leek in my life!" Miku declared.

Rin shrugged. 'She's pretty serious to have put leeks on the line. But she definitely likes someone, unless Lily heard wrongly, speaking of which, I wonder how her date with Gumi is going…'


Meanwhile, at a café, a certain blonde and a certain green haired girl sneezed violently at the same time.


'Oh well, they're bound to be doing fine.' "So, why are you so happy?"

"I got my work done, why can't I be happy?" Miku said.

"Who gets so happy when they finish their homework?" Len grumbled, "You don't see me that happy everyday."

"Len's got a point. Spill it, who are you interested in?" "Fine, I'm happy that I made a new friend, okay?"

"A new friend?" "Yeah, Luka." "Wait, after one tutoring session, she allows you to call her Luka, not Megurine-san, and you guys are friends?" "Yeesss… why?" Miku raised an eyebrow, prepared for another prediction from Rin.

"That's so strange, someone so cold would never-"

Len gasped, cutting Rin off, who shot him a glare.

"I know, Luki's interested in you, and he told his sister to tutor his crush so that somehow they could get closer!"

"That's enough about that!" Miku yelled and threw a cushion at Len, who dodged it and ran up to his room, laughing loudly.

"Miku, can I stay for tutoring too?" Rin looked at Miku with a sickeningly sweet and innocent expression.

'Hell, I will pull out my last trick if I have too! Puppy eye power!' Rin thought

'NO! I want a private one to one tution with Luka!' "Well, I suppose so…" Miku gave in, despite her inner wants. "I'll ask her."

"Yay! Thanks, Miku!" 'Yes, thanks for the wonderful chance to meet Megurine Luka, and see what your relationship with her is!'

"You're welcome, I guess, but it's not like your grades are terrible." "Eheh, really? I think I do need tuition." Rin smiled, proud of her successful persuasion.


"Hey Miku, and this is?" The pinkette entered the classroom, seeing her favourite tealette and another girl in the class.

"She's my sister, Kagamine Rin!"

'Sister? Why so they have different family names? Is she adopted?'

"Nice to meet you, I'm Kagamine Rin, Miku's sister!"

"Ah, nice to meet you, I'm Megurine Luka."

"Luka, Rin needs tuition too, so she's joining us… if that's okay with you." Luka blinked as Miku shot her a pleading look.

'That's unfair, how can I resist that look!' "It's fine, so Kaga.. Rin is joining us from today?"

"Yep, thank you so much," Rin smirked secretly ' Someone's whipped.' , "Luka-san!"

Luka twitched slightly, uncomfortable with someone other than Miku and Luki addressing her so casually. 'Well, this girl seems nice, but she's robbing me of precious time with my Miku.' Luka mentally slapped herself for her unheard comment. 'My? Did I really think that?'

'Eh, something's off. I felt so happy yesterday, what is this now? Is it because Rin's here?' Miku shook her head, missing the smile that graced Luka's face as she did so.

"So, shall we start?"


It was slightly suffocating for Rin. Throughout the whole tuition, she felt like she wasn't supposed to be there. Luka and Miku were fidgeting around, both of them seemed really tense and uncomfortable.

'How strange. The whole scenario feels like I'm intruding on a date or something. Could it be that Miku is secretly seeing Luka after school? Nah, that's impossible, they started tuition yesterday. Or, did something happen? Anyway, this is so interesting, although I have a feeling I should not join them on their sessions any more. Good job Rin, yet another mystery solved!' Rin mentally patted herself on her back, and smiled slightly.


"Let's go home now, shall we?" Luka said, looking up at the clock. It was four in the afternoon, and they had spent two hours in school already.

Miku picked up her back and just nodded. 'Somehow, today felt disappointing.'

Rin picked up her bag and smiled. 'Today is such a great day.'

Luka said a quick 'bye' and went off first, leaving Rin and Miku to talk.

"So, that was Megurine Luka." "Yeah, what do you think of her?"

'Miku sounds like she's asking me to appraise her girlfriend.' "She's …" 'very suitable for you, and she's totally whipped, under your spell. Go get her.'

"She's nice." Rin smiled. "Say, Lily's out today again. Sooner or later Papa and Mama will realize she's seeing someone."

"You mean!" "She asked Gumi out yesterday. I have no idea how she asked, she refused to spill the details. But they are together, which explains why Lily seemed disappointed when you insisted that Gumi sat beside you instead."

"So they're official?" "Not really, it will take some time for them to step out of the closet. But it won't be a surprise, they're already so close. Lily's so scary that no one would dare to offend her or Gumi anyways."

"If it was someone else?" "Someone else? What do you mean, Miku?"

"I mean, if another girl dated another girl openly, would they be insulted or well, something?"

"Who are you talking about?" "I mean, hypothetically."

"Well, it would depend on the reputation either of them hold." Rin smirked, an idea getting to her. "For example, if someone who is well known for being cheerful and nice, like you, is openly gay," Rin glanced at Miku to see her reaction. The tealette was looking at Rin, eager for her to continue.

"Then, it depends." Rin hummed and ignored Miku's 'EH?'

"I mean, Lily would beat them up if they dare to say anything bad about you, why so sensitive anyway? Are you a lesbian?" Rin asked.

"OF COURSE NOT!" Miku almost shouted, laughing nervously after that. "I mean, I have nothing against it, but I'm definitely not! No way! Yup."

"Hmmm, anyways, if it is someone like … Luka, who's mysterious and cold, people might also be too scared to do anything much. Rumours will definitely spread, but I think that's it. After all, our school is pretty open. "

Miku pondered about what Rin said, even after they reached home. She fell asleep thinking off all the possibilities.

Author: Urgh crappy ending to this chapter. I'm feeling terrible about my results, especially when my friend from the other class complains about her 3.4 G.P.A. I've been down for some time and I couldn't possibly write with that mood. It would turn this story to tragedy or angst.

Anyways, an update. FINALLY. I tried. T^T

Reviews keep me going. *hint hint*
