Everyone was sleeping peacefully, except, Luka. She was having the weirdest dream, and yet how hard she tried to wake herself up. She just couldn't. She was seeing everything backwards, as if her life was in rewind. Someone just had instantly pressed the rewind button, and here was Luka literally watching her life fall...Well, in reverse. Even the love and heartbreak with Miku, she had to once again endure. But this didn't feel like a dream any longer. Somehow, this 'dream' felt real, very real. In fact, so real, that this was not even dream anymore.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Luka heard the school bell ring loudly, she woke from her whatever she was dreaming about. She stood, as she looked at Gumi who was just staring at her, "Gumi...Where is Miku?" Luka asked, as she now pointed to an empty desk chair, "And where is Rin, Len, Kaito, and Meiko?" She asked,
"Uh, Luka, did you hit your head before you fell asleep?" Gumi asked, "Rin, Len, Meiko, Kaito, and Miku are on tour." Gumi rolled her eyes,
"But they were enrolled to this school, remember?" Luka asked,
"Luka, they have private tutors for them, are you okay?" Gumi asked, as she looked towards Luka,
"But...I remember giving them a tour. And...I was called back for an Audition to become a Vocaloid. And.." Luka was cut off,
"Luka, you have to be dreaming. Kasane Teto is the new Vocaloid." Gumi stated, "Luka, you are acting weird." Gumi murmured,
"But...There was a girl named Kagome, and she had two sisters. Hitomi and Kamiko. And Kamiko was married to this girl named Akira. Hitomi was with Rin. And Kagome was with Meiko. And then there was this girl named Sayomi...And you were with her. Remember? Kagome, Hitomi, Kamiko, and Akira are vampires...Well, I will assume now, Sayomi is actually a vampire, but has the abilities as a werewolf does. And the sisters are soul collectors. Come on, Gumi, you have to remember this!" Luka exclaimed,
"Luka, you had to hit your head. Because Vampires and Werewolves do not exist. And me? With a vampiric werewolf...Come on, not even the best action or horror movie can pull that off. Luka, I think you may need to see..." Gumi was stopped, or almost frozen. The hallways became dark, and everyone had seemed to be stopped in time and space, all except for Luka,
"Luka Luka Luka." A soft female's voice lingered in the air, soon the surroundings changed, and Luka and the mystery woman were in the Orphanage that Luka and Kagome felt so connected too. "Darling, Luka. Why must you speak of lies?" The female asked,
"I AM NOT! I swear I never dreamt of that shit!" Luka stated, but soon the woman was right before her. This woman was gorgeous. Like Kamiko, Hitomi, and Kagome. But this woman could be claimed as the Goddess Of Beauty, "Wh...Who are you?" Luka asked, completely petrified.
"Why, I'm Akiko. The one..." Akiko shook her head, "Let me start here. I am the ruler over the Soul Collectors. I decided who lives, and who dies. After all, I am the Grim Reaper. And I'm the mother of; Kamiko, Kagome, and Hitomi." She smiled softly, "And the mother of you, of course." Akiko stated,
"Wait...I am related to the Takahashi sisters?" Luka asked,
"Why but of course, you are the younger sister of Kamiko and the older sister of Hitomi. And you are the identical twin of Kagome. You had to have seen the resemblance between you two. After all, Neoma, continued to call you Kagome, and called Kagome, well, you know." Akiko snickered, "Listen, Luka. I did what I had to do to protect you. And my other daughters as well. I mean, do you not find it sort of odd, that you put your neck on the line to save Kagome? Oh, that is right. You still believe that Meiko pulled the trigger to kill the bastard that was trying to kill my daughter. However, you were the one who pulled the trigger, not Meiko. Why no, Meiko got scared and held the gun. You took the gun, and shot that poor bastard. Or how about the day you were supposed to get the lobotomy, and Kagome took your place? Do you really think it was to keep Miku happy? Please. It was protect her sister, or in other words. You. She needed to make sure you were safe, even if she died. Kagome, Kamiko, and Hitomi know that you are their sister. However, I did ask for them to keep it a secret. That way, you could live a normal life. But would have guessed? All my daughters would get into music." She smiled softly, then leaned up against one of the bare walls,
"W..Why didn't you tell me this sooner?!" Luka asked, almost in an angered tone,
"I had to protect you, Luka. You were so damn weak. You couldn't handle your own, until you found your way. And how did you do this? By saving your sister. Kagome and you have a special bond, that can never broken." Akiko chuckled, "You two were like that when you two were born." Akiko shook her head, then went to say something but was cut off,
"If...I am their sister. How old am I really?" Luka asked,
"You are the same age as Kagome. So, that makes you really old." Akiko laughed, "Alright, alright, you are about two hundred and fifty years of age. Or are you older?" Akiki shrugged, "I don't keep up with years of my kids. I lost count after fifty. And thereafter I gave up on the age." Akiko laughed softly, then shook her head, "Luka, I am sorry I kept you in the dark all these years. But I did what I had to protect you." Akiko stated,
"Am..Am I one of them? A Soul Collector?" Luka asked,
"Yes." Akiko simply replied,
"I have so many questions." Luka murmured, "Was I always a Vampire?" Luka asked,
"Yes." Akiko replied,
"If you know all. I can ask you anything, right?" Luka asked, then saw her mother nod her head, "What really happened to my parents?" Luka asked,
"They were your foster parents, in a way. I wanted you to live a normal life. Who would have thought, like your sisters, you would have a special gift. Luka, your parents gave you a normal life, that I could not give you. Seriously, how would I have been able to do that? I am one dark bitch. I take the condemned and the innocent away. Well, so does my 'helpers'." AKiko stated,
"Okay. Does Miku really love me?" Luka asked,
Akiko chuckled, "Yes." Akiko replied,
"Does Meiko truly love Kagome?" Luka asked,
"As much I wish I could say yes. I can't. I do believe she loves Kagome to a degree. But other than that, I can't see it." Akiko shrugged,
"Okay, did Akira tell us the truth about her and Kamiko's relationship?" Luka asked,
"Yes." Akiko replied,
"Was the story about Kagome and Chiharu true?" Luka asked,
"Look, deep down, Luka. And you'll know the answer." Akiko stated,
"Okay...Will Kagome find happiness?" Luka asked,
"Yes. There is a secret, that only one of your group knows. Or at least knows who holds this secret. I brought Kagome a gift. I resurrected Chiharu. Or well, she has been reincarnated. And she is with you. In fact, she is one of your group members." Akiko smiled warmly,
"Who is it?!" Luka asked,
"I can't tell you. Only one other person knows, well, besides Chiharu and I." Akiko grinned,
"Why wouldn't you tell Kagome?!" Luka asked almost in angered tone,
"Why?! Because I wanted Kagome to try and move on. But she couldn't. That heart belongs to Chiharu. And Chiharu is her one and only. I can't say the same for others." Akiko shrugged,
"Alright, answer me this...Do I have a happy ending?" Luka asked,
"Yes. In fact, I'll tell you. You and Miku get married and live a life of bliss. And so forth. Now, I must go. I'll see you soon, Luka. It'll be fun to see my other daughters." Akiko winked, and simply disappeared.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Luka felt like she was being forced to be moved back and forth, and she was. She slowly opened her eyes, and saw Gumi standing there, "Gu..Gumi." Luka murmured,
"About damn time. You were walking like you were drunk. Are you okay?" Gumi asked,
"No. I daydreamed that Miku and I were lovers..." Luka was cut off,
"Uh, Luka that isn't a daydream. You and Miku are engaged." Gumi chuckled,
Luka's eyes widened, "Then...Does that mean Kagome, Kamiko, and Hitomi exist?!" Luka asked,
"Yes. Remember...I fucked Kagome. I don't really think you would have wanted to daydream of that." Gumi laughed, "Luka..Are you..." Gumi watched Kagome, Kamiko, then Hitomi bolt out of their room. And immediately ran down the stairs. Gumi and Luka were right behind them, soon enough a woman was standing at the door. She beyond the description of 'hot'. Gumi's jaw dropped, at the female's beauty. Gumi tilted her head, then she heard Kagome's voice,
"What the hell are you doing here?" Kagome asked then snarled,
"Uh, who is this?" Len asked,
And in unison; Kagome, Kamiko, Hitomi, and Luka stated, "Our mother."
"Whoa...What the hell?! Can someone explain what is going on?!" Miku demanded,
"Miku...Luka is my twin sister." Kagome stated, "And..Akiko is our mother." Kagome stated then chuckled, "See, that was fast to explain." Kagome shrugged, then sighed, "Seriously, what are you doing here, mom?" Kagome asked,
"Well, for reasons, that you may or may not understand. I want to make sure you four are ready for that disgusting bitch returns." AKiko stated, then saw Meiko cling to Kagome, she then rolled her eyes then sighed. "You see, I had my daughters tell you that I was dead, to protect them. You are probably wondering why, its because I am the leader of the Soul Collectors." She chuckled, "After all, I am the Grim Reaper." Akiko smiled eerily, "Oh, Meiko, I am here for what I gave you. You were supposed to bring me souls. And you have failed. Now, this darling, won't do." Akiko stated and in a quick motion, the tattoo that was bestowed to Meiko was gone, "Oh, relax, you are still a Vampire." Akiko rolled her eyes, as she snapped at her luggage, and she watched her daughters rush to an empty room, and put her stuff there. Akiko's attention went back to the group, her eyes scanned through everyone, then stopped on Gumi, "Gumi, how are you doing?" She asked, with a sly smile.
"I'm..Fine." Gumi whispered,
"You and Sayomi doing fine?" Akiko asked,
"N..Not really. She...She can't be with me. I threw her away like..." Gumi was cut off,
"Because she isn't your soul mate." Akiko was going to say something else, until she heard her daughters return, she now stood. Her smile was quite beautiful yet, eerie. "Miki, come with me." Akiko snapped her fingers, and immediately Miki was right next to Akiko, "Did she tell you?" Akiko asked, as they walked away from the group,
"Yes." Miki replied, "Why can't Kagome know?" Miki asked,
"She is not ready to know. Soon, though. After all, she killed someone who wasn't supposed to die." Akiko stated,
"Who is that, master?" Miki asked,
"Kaito." Akiko replied, and walked away with Miki, her loyal servant from day one. That's right, that cherry lover is too a Soul Collector. Who would have guessed that little innocent kid would have such a big secret? And was holding onto a much bigger one. Love can cure and heal all wounds right? Not exactly. Not when, someone will be going down in a ship of 'love'. Sometimes life throws us lemons. And what do we do? We make lemonade! No, we squeeze that lemon back into life's eyes. At least that is what Kagome will want to do. And Luka, has an awesome family, and she carries the same thing that her sisters do. Being a Soul Collector and being a pure blooded Vampire. And what is this reincarnated stuff? Which one is the reincarnation version of Chiharu?
