iloveyugiohGX93: Put a period at the end of every quotation.

(P.S. I don't consider this spam)

Now this guy sent it not once…but twice. So to say to this guy. I am sorry for making you do this twice, but what is a 'period'? I Know two types of period: one that is related to timetables the second is one I don't want to talk about, I have a sister so I know. Would period refer to 'full stops'? I did 'Standard English' as one of subjects in Yr12 last year…please explain and I will do.

DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING, EXCEPT PLOT. SONGS/LYRICS GO TO THE RIGHTFUL CREATORS. VOCALOIDS GO TO WHATEVER COMPANY, YAMAHA? SEGA? AH CAN'T REMEMBER!

You have also noticed I am also using American songs, the last one was 'Stuck With Me' by Green Day from their 1995 album: Insomniac (guess why I used it).

Chapter 3: Kizuna (Part 1: Everyone Sing!)

-Miku's POV-

I was walking through the school halls, just after lunch and I smiled at everyone. I was happy to accept people but not people who FUCKING constantly confess to me. I have turned down Akaito like nine times, Rei about six and Oliver once. He was the more accepting of the boys. He confessed, I said no and he merely shrugged and said, "I knew I wasn't good enough but now I know the taste of rejection. Thank you Hatsune-san".

I gave him a pat on the head and fed James some bread. Oliver was overjoyed by my kindness and he became my friend and he strictly said to me, friends. What an accepting boy. Wish Akaito and Rei and other were like that. Christ if I hear one more confession from them I will tear their faces off. Jesus. *They are so damn persistent that it is almost…routine like…no! Redundant that was what this us, the more 'I love you's' I get from the pair, the more redundant they get.

I sigh as I think of more…joyful things. Len. I am going to confess to Len! I think. Maybe if he confessed to me…hmmmm. It has been a week since I was at the Kagamine apartment and he always left later or earlier than me now. He was avoiding me which was an obstacle in my plans…

"Hey you have Facebook Miku-chan?" Akaito asked breaking my train of thought.

"Len!" I suddenly said before realising where I was. I turned to Akaito, I thought I saw a flicker of anger before it disappeared with a smile.

"Do you have Facebook Miku-chan?" Akaito asked again. I stare at him.

"No" I replied. He nodded slowly.

"So what is your affiliation with Kagamine Len?" Akaito asked me with those creepy eyes.

"He is…" I stop. What I am to him?

"He is" Akaito said trying to make me finish the sentence.

"…just someone I know" I said shrugging, it was true. We weren't friends, we weren't even acquaintances. Just classmates.

"I see" Akaito said slowly. I feel a sense of dread tingle down my spine. Why was he so…curious about the boy?

Lunch time!

Freedom! I race up to the rooftop with my teal twintails streaming behind me like banners. I slammed open the door and shouted into the blue clear sky. I spin on one foot and then I heard the door close and I see Len running his nose, after the door I flew open…smacked him dead centre in the face.

"What are you screaming about?" he asked curiously. As he rubbed his nose.

"Nothing…what you working on?" I ask forgetting about my joyful screaming and sat next to him and peered into the page he was on.

Idea Page!

Themes for songs:

Love

Memories

Mainstream stuff

Connection

I smiled at the page. It wasn't messy but it was just the start of an organised chaos known as song writing. I always think the song writing is story telling. There were definitely parallels. Len continued to move his pen while I took out a leek and began chewing on it with pleasure.

Yummy yum yum! Leeks! Oh! Potato and Leek Soup tonight!

"How can you eat that?" Len suddenly asked raising one eyebrow as I chewed on my stick of white and green goodness.

"What? Don't all people eat leeks?" I ask and he looked at me with a 'are you fucking serious' face.

"No" he simply answered but he smiled still. He seemed…amused by my love of leeks.

"Then what do you like to eat?" I asked pouting.

"Bananas" Len replied and I noticed the peel beside him and I smiled, notcing one thing.

"You peel it from the bottom" I said and Len nodded.

"So does mean you peel it with your feet like a monkey?" I ask teasing him lightly. Thankfully, he got the message.

"Sometimes…when I am at the zoo visiting my relatives" Len replied. It was a feeble joke but we both laughed. It was a joke nevertheless.

"You write songs as well?" Len asked.

"No all the time" I replied narrowing my eyes, where was he getting at now.

"I see…" Len said slowly and we ate our lunches in relative silence after that. Not an awkward but more…an accepting things will turn out alright.

-Len's POV-

I walked into the classroom with many of my classmates who stared in awe at all the equipment at our disposal to play music and create songs. I saw a piano, a set of drums, multiple cases for string, wood and wind instruments in one of the storage rooms.

Music! My favourite subject, now I can focus on things I am good at! The class in the music room where our teacher walked in, he was a dark looking figure. He was actually cloaked and hooded and looked like a shinigami. Until he ripped off his clothing (ie the cloak and hood) and found it was a she.

"I'm Meiko-sensei! I am going to be ya music teacher this year!" Meiko exclaimed happily, fist pumping the air. Everyone sweatdropped at the brunette teacher wearing the red and white clothing. "Alright, I have a project already for you guys, and don't worry it is pretty simple"

Everyone in the room groaned except me and surprising Miku. I listened intently.

"Alright it is an individual project. It is basically singing a cover version of one song. Any song within reason, as in songs with swearing is not allowed unless I look over the song. This is really just to see where people's talents stand; you may also use an instrument. Drums, guitar, piano, keyboard, etc. As before, just to see where you all stand and where you're interests lay, okay good luck! They are due next week Tuesday, so…a week"

Everyone split of, many into groups to discuss what they would do. I walked to a corner of the room, away from people and put my headphones in. I already had some candidates to what song I should sing and probably use an instrument in. After all, music is my passion. I grunt in disgust to see many of the boys crowding around Miku as if she was some sort of exotic animal. Wait, why do I care?

Anyways, my song choices A Project for A New American Century but that is really…inappropriate for this project, for a protest, yes but a project, no. Brain Stew a good slow calm song but I shook my head, the song had explicit language. Sign, no I wasn't quite familiar to the song yet. The Downfall of Us All, hmmmm…tempting, tempting but I feel it not quite in place for me. Kizuna? Yes, that is perfect, a nice calm song with good lyrics and a nice tone to it. I walk up to Meiko-sensei at the front of the room.

"Yes, Len-san" she said smiling brightly at me.

"I would like to do Kizuna by Orange Range please and I would like to use a piano" I said firmly. I liked Orange Range they had a good variety of songs and Kizuna was definitely a good choice.

"I know that song too!" Meiko-sensei exclaimed smiling happily.

"Really?" I ask.

"Yeah! Of course Len-san, you can go ahead and start practicing if you want!" Meiko-sensei exclaimed clapping her hands excitedly. Many of people of my class stared at me with envy. So far they were going for mainstream rap or YouTube favourites. Which would take forever to practice, but I have already learnt many songs on the piano primarily and know the lyrics to all of them.

"Meiko-sensei I also have chosen a song" Miku said beside me and people just clapped and cheers. Thinking this was a rivalry. This ain't no rivalry you morons!

"Yes what is your song choice?" Meiko-sensei asked.

"Redundant by Green Day" Miku answered and my eyebrows must have shot up. Because afterwards my forehead hurt, but Redundant? By Green Day! I was thinking maybe if it was anything from Green Day maybe Brutal Love, Are We Are the Waiting, She, Amy or Good Riddance (Time of Your Life). Redundant was from the 1997 album, Nimrod. Which also had Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) as the second last song. Redundant was the forth. But many of the songs in the album such as Reject, The Grouch, Take Back were angry songs others like Hitchin' a Ride, Walking Alone, Prosthetic Head, etc. were songs about drinking, forgotten love and stuff.

"Really? You seem more suited to songs like Bokura no Ashiato" Meiko muttered. But she shrugged. Maybe this girl had something up her sleeve.

"I'd also like to use a guitar" Miku added and Meiko nodded and wrote it down on her piece of paper.

"Okay, you two can go into the other room over there and start practicing" Meiko said pointing to one of the adjacent rooms. We both nodded and walked inside and shut the door. A moment of silence reigned over the room. I shrugged. I went to the piano opened the lid and started to play Kizuna.

Instead of singing, I hummed it instead, so I could get my fingering correct. I wanted to have my fingers naturally flow on the ivory white keys and pitch black sharp and flat keys. I got myself into a rhythm. Swaying my body as I did.

"Hehehe, you're like a metronome!" Miku giggled and I opened my eyes, I was midway through the song. I raised my eyebrow at the beaming and giggling girl.

"Thanks, I never noticed" I replied sarcastically.

"So why did you chose Kizuna?" Miku asked me with a curious and exciting gleam in her eye.

"I chose Kizuna because it means 'bonds' (Note Len uses English here). And the fact I think it reminds me of life could be like in the future maybe, even though the song is aboput the past" I said closing my eyes and I think I smiled. Then I had a question of my own, "Why chose Redundant?"

"That's easy to get the guys off my back" Miku answered smiling. Ah! So that was it. Redundant was (apparently but most likely) the composer's early life, Billie Joe Armstrong, and how he got into a fight with his wife (girlfriend?) and how saying 'I love you' didn't fix every problem the two faced when arguing. It was a slow and quite monotone song but it was good because of that, if it was flashy and erratic then the song loses meaning.

"I see but do you know how to play the song?" I asked curiously, I knew the song pretty well. I was a fan of Green Day after all. I have followed their albums from '1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours' to 'Demolious'. I frowned as Miku gave me a blank look.

"Nope" she admitted. I sighed and shook my head.

"Then why ask to use a guitar as well?" I asked rubbing my temples due to the painful illogical thought train I just heard. My eyes hurt just thinking.

"I need to get on the level" Miku answered.

"Please tell me you know how to play a guitar" I said through my hands. I don't why I wanted to help this girl, but I am going to anyways.

"I can" Miku answered truthfully. I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I can teach you how to play the song then, it isn't too difficult" I said smiling slightly.

"Thank you Len" Miku said bowing her head slightly. For some reason I blushed like an idiot. Like one of those idiots.

"Let's start with the lyrics" I said sighing. This was going to be a long week.

Author: Yay! Music! Yes, I am myself a massive Green Day fan and a Vocaloid fan. So yeah, this chapter was a little shitty in my POV. But I am glad I finished it.

Len is slowly growing to like Miku. As his recovery.

Miku is happy. Rin is MIA. Mikuo is MIA. So yeah!

Check out 'Singing Swords'. The first arc just finished (3 Chapters) and the second just started! I am really proud of my work, although it is a little…all over the place. But still I am pleased.

Also 'Ask Us!' is still awaiting questions, so please PM me or leave a question in the reviews.
