Hello! This story is inspired by the manga superior and kubera. I totally recommend the webtoon kubera! It is absolutely addicting!
Oh and please do read and review. This is my first LenxMiku fanfic, I hope that you enjoy it. Oh and do please give me advise on how to improve it, etc... or a simple comment may do. anyways! XD Enjoy!
The early sun rose form its slumber. Birds chirped their daily morning song. The white clouds drifted with the gentle wind, creating a beautiful blue sky.
Miku grabbed onto a low branch, panting like as if she had just run a hundred kilometres. The dirt path grew wider and the trees parted, allowing her to see further into the distance. Then, she glowed with joy as she saw the glorious city walls.
She had finally arrived at Mahard City.
Mahard city is the world's most famous place where powerful avengers gather. Avengers are humans who destroy demons and complete missions to earn money. Many young avengers come here in hope to join a guild or create one. This is why Miku travelled half way around the world for.
A shrub's leaves rustled nearby. Her instincts instantly kicked in and she jerked her head towards the sound. A small demon that looked like it was at level 1 hopped out. It looked up and shrieked in fear. Miku narrowed her teal eyes. It was a ball of white fluff with one round eye, probably an air type.
Demons… they are categorised into different groups, each belonging into the four main elements – water, earth, fire and air. They also have this developing system. Level 1 demons are merely babies while level 5 is when they are fully adults. As they advance higher into the levels, they become more and more dangerous. Some humans say that at a certain level, they develop this ability to transform into a human.
Miku shuddered in disgust. Having demons living with humans? That was absolutely revolting. Humans hated them and they feel the same back. She despised them so much. But when she was small, she wasn't always like this. It was all because she was foolish enough to befriend one. When it levelled up, it betrayed her – by crushing her entire village. Her mother, her father, they were all destroyed by 'that' demon.
One day, she will definitely get revenge and make it pay back ten folds. One day, she shall make it regret that it ever lived. But first, she had to become stronger.
Miku pulled out her sword. "Repent, demon." She pointed it at it.
It whimpered, its whole body trembling. She drew the weapon over her head, ready to slay the evil. But then, hesitation overwhelmed her. The way it appeared… it reminded her so much of 'that' demon when they first met. Even though 'that' demon killed her family, she could not help but remember all the fun times they spent together. 'That' was her first friend.
Miku gritted her teeth. No, she thought, do not let it live. When it grows up, it will slaughter many innocent people.
She gripped tighter on the hilt. But…
She grunted and sheathed the sword. The demon stopped shivering, gazing at her with puzzlement.
"Do not misunderstand, demon…" She glared "… leave before I change my mind."
Hearing that, it scurried out of her line of vision. She sighed, slapping her forehead.
"Miku, Miku…" she muttered. "You have grown soft."

The city was protected by a tall brick wall. A large river surrounded it. Miku walked on the bridge, ignoring the snapping of the crocodiles. A grand entranced awaited her, the city crest cleverly designed on it. It was of a white unicorn, hampering its hooves on a cow-like demon's chest.
A guard appeared in front of her, his face sheltered in darkness by the helmet. Metal armour weighed him down and he held a spear in his hand.
"Name yourself, those who have chosen the path of danger." His deep voice boomed through the air.
Miku winced, slightly shocked by the hostility. "Miku Hatsune, sword bearer and people of the waterfall village."
"Show me your ID identification card," he held out a hand, "In case you are a demon in disguise."
She ruffled through the pouch that was strapped around her waist. She took out a small notebook and handed it to him. He rustled through the pages, squinting at the papers and then glancing back to her. A spell was chanted under his breath, activating a scanner in the paper. A ray of blue light flashed out. It gleamed on her from head to toe. Then, a women's voice rang out from it.
"Identity confirmed. Matching eyes and figure." The light instantly vanished when it finished its announcement.
After a bit more scrutinizing, he finally returned it. "Very well, Hatsune, you may enter."
He tapped the end of the spear on the ground. A ripple shook the earth and the metal door slowly creaked open, revealing the future of her revenge. She grasped onto the hilt of her sword.
"Thank you, Mister."
"May your journey be a safe one, young sword bearer. May God be with you as you fight against evil." With that, he turned around and faced ahead.
Miku entered the city and the door creaked behind. She gasped, stupefied by the magnificent view of the area.
Magicians in their pointy hats banged on the tiny bells, yelling out good bargains on healing potions. Strong, proud fighters roamed the streets, chattering about their adventures and close-to-death experiences. Many buildings that surrounded the place were all two-story and designed like the ones in the 18th centuries. The floors were made out of bricks and were extremely even. Miku glanced up, a smile curving up on her lips. Witches on their broomsticks whizzed in the air, throwing waves occasionally at men who fell in their admiration spell.
MIku jumped up in excitement. This was it, she screamed in her head, I have just taken another step in my revenge.
She strode around, familiarising herself with the place. There were shops that sold delicious food, weapons and items. Some people performed their talents in the middle of the streets, spewing fire out of their mouths.
She grinned as a small child clapped her hands enthusiastically, beaming like it was the happiest day of her life. Seeing her pop a silver coin in the hat, the fire-spewer bowed.
Miku came across a group of shaggy men. They leaned on one side of the wall, flirting with young women. They nuzzled each other – totally not understanding the term of indecent contact in public.
A pang of jealousy twinged inside of her. She watched as the girls flaunted off their beauty and clothes. She compared it with her own. Her shirt and pants were baggy and brown, screaming out the words 'country-side'. She didn't have any armour on and a red belt wrapped around her waist to secure her sword in place. Her sword belonged to deceased mother. It was named 'Megami'.
Sometimes… she wished she could be like other girls who can care about their appearance and focused on love. Sometimes… she wished she had an ordinary life where it was not full of revenge…
She continued her exploration, pushing back the envy tugging in her.

A young blonde boy that looked no older than 13 years old strolled in the streets. His piercing blue eyes scanned everywhere as he touched the brown hood he was wearing. He never liked crowded places—especially if it was filled with humans.
He studied the ground and his black boots. It felt hard, nothing like the soft soil that comforted his feet back his teacher's home. He groaned.
I have had enough, he muttered in his mind, I don't care about the spy-on-humans job that teacher told me to do...even though he spent a lot of vigor in creating a fake ID for me to enter here. I shall take my leave.
As he headed towards the exit, he passed a group of men with youthful girls swooning over them. One of the bristly beard man boasted out, "I killed many demons in my life. They all trembled when they hear my footsteps."
A skinny one rolled his eyes. "Oh please, I destroyed one that was at level 4. They could not even scratch me."
The first guy who spoke frowned. "Well, I slaughtered 10 level 3s in less than a minute."
"That cannot match me," the second one came retorted. "I came across a level 5 before."
All the girls gasped. "What? That is the highest level demons can ever go up to. It must have been very strong!"
"What, really?" The skinny man tossed his head. "It died in one blow."
The girls sighed in admiration and clung to them like a snail. The blonde boy narrowed his blue eyes as he heard their conversations. They were all lies, not doubt. A human like that could not even be able to defeat a level 3, let alone a level 5. Lies… they were all liars.
And to see our lives as some sort of trophy to show off, he clenched his fist, how could they?
Noticing the boy's stare, the bristly beard man raised an eyebrow. "What are you looking at, kiddo? Go home to your mummy already."
His eyes twitched, but he did not budge at all. The skinny man flared his nostrils and loomed over him. "What? Listen to adults when they talk to you. Don't you know any manners?"
Control… his sharp inhuman teeth dug into his lip. Do not waste precious time on them.
The boy smiled and bobbed his head apologetically. He started to retreat, away from them. There was no point picking a fight with useless humans like them. It would only cause a racket and attract unnecessary notice. Plus, humans had never on his favourite menu list.
The group burst out laughing at the boy's display of cowardice. The hairy man sneered at him. "Oh… I think I hear some clinking. I think this kid is loaded with coins."
The bony guy's eyes twinkled with interest. He snatched at the blonde boy's pale arm with his grubby hands and breathed on him. It was a smell of smoke and sweat. "Kiddo, if you do not want to get hurt, hand us your money." A glare was directed straight at his face.
The boy's eyebrows narrowed down into a frown. He stared at the disgusting hands on him, his patients gradually burning off. Seeing that the kid did not answer, the man spat in his face. "Hand us all your money now! I don't care if you're a kid, I won't hesitate to hurt you."
Foolish human, the boy snapped his head up. I showed you mercy, yet you chose not value your life. He matched the skinny guy's glare. I'll gnaw you thoroughly and spit you out.
He drew out a bottle of water from his pouch and splashed it all over the skinny man. The others all gasped, the drenched one's face reddened with fury.
"You little scandal…" He seethed out. "I'll murder you!"
He tried to slap the kid. The blonde boy effortless stopped him by grabbing his swinging arm. The person's moves were so slow, so easy to dodge. He tightened his grip –just a bit—and the skinny man cried out in agony. A sickening crunch filled the air – beautiful and pleasing to him. He then let go, allowing the guy to topple onto the floor and writher in pain like a little pathetic bug.
He was definitely bluffing. A level 3 would have killed this petty person straight away. He shook his head in displeasure.
The bearded man jerked back. "You…you… I'll teach you a lesson, kid!" He revealed two daggers from his sleeves and slashed them recklessly at the boy.
He avoided it easily; the attacker's moves were easy to anticipate. The man roared in frustration, adding kicking to his attacks. Of course, all his attempts were futile. He had so many openings that he could have died a thousand deaths if the blonde boy wanted him to.
A crowd of people began to gather around them. The boy didn't want that. His teacher told him to lie low in the human cities.
I'll just finish this in one blow, he decided. I need to get out of here before powerful magicians come and notice me.
Just before he raised his arm to attack, another dagger sliced through the air. He jumped back, snapping his head to the direction being thrown.
A teal-haired girl stepped out of the crowd. She seemed to be around the age of 17 for a human.
"Stop right there," she pointed a sword at the bearded man, "Is not attacking a 13 year old boy just shameless?"
The man spat on the ground. "Shut up girl, who do you think you are?"
She took a step forward. "I am Miku Hatsune," she grinned, "and I am here to bring justice."

And this was how the two—the two that were bound to have a painful future— had their fateful meeting that changed the world forever.
