The Adventures of VOCALOID

Chapter 16

K so my goal for this chapter is at least 2000 words LETS SEE IF I CAN DO IT and im sorry for making short chapters I thought 1000 words would be long enough but I don't think it is.  (Btw I hate short chapters so I'm trying my best to write long ones I just don't have a lot of ideas) Make sure to leave suggestions!! And for this chapter listen to Life of the Party by Shawn Mendes. And also the girl up there is IA. K enjoy -Kay

Miku's POV:

"Why didn't you save me?!" Mikuo screams at the top of his lungs. "Was I not that important to you?! Is that it? ANSWER ME!!" he screams. "Mikuo I-" "No. I don't want to hear it. You're just a curse. Hear that, Miku? A FUCKING CURSE!" With that, he pushes me off the roof of the giant building, the wind making my hair spread out like tentactles in water.

Just as I am about to hit the ground and die, my eyes open, and I feel that my cheeks are wet. I was crying. Just like in my dream. My dream. It was all a dream.

But at the same time, it was real. Mikuo was dead. My brother. Dead. My doing. I shake my head and wipe the tears from my face, only for more to replace them.

I sigh and get up. I need fresh air. I need to be alone. I open the door and pad down the hallway, towards the stairs. I was carefull to skip the third step to the top, which creaks.

I poof into my Natural outfit, take off the glasses, and zip up my jacket. I shove my hands in the pockets and pull up the hood, opening the door and walking outside.

I run down the driveway and across the street, to the sidewalk. The cold air bites at my cheeks and nose, and the orange streetlights make the night beautiful. I don't know what it is, but I feel like streetlights are amazing. They make everything look like a dream. A dream. I feel tears coming again, but I push them to the back of my head and keep walking.

It is then that I notice a small figure hunched over on the sidewalk, her head between her knees. As I get closer I notice she's crying. I run over to her side and crouch beside her, putting my hand on her back. "Hey... It's okay. What's wrong?" I ask. She lifts her head, and points into the woods beside our house. A beautiful orange fire glows in the distance. I squint and lean forward a little bit, and notice it's coming from a house. Her house is burning down.

The girl bursts into tears and cries into my shirt. I rub her back and whisper encouraging words to her. "Did you call the fire department?" I ask, and she shakes her head. "It started in the kitchen, where our only phone was. My dad was drunk and trying to cook Pizza, and low and behold, my house is burning down. I was the only one that made it out alive. Other than my little friend here." she unbuttons her jacket, and a white kitten pops it's head out, mewing softly.

I stare in awe. "What's your name?" I ask the girl. "Ryouta Aikae. This is Stocking." She gestures towards the cat. Aikae squints at me, and then she notices who I am. "Miku Hatsune?!" I'm your biggest fan!" she exclaims. "That's what they all say." I mumble. "Come on. You're going to stay with me and everyone else until we can find someone to take care of you," I take Aikae's hand a pull her up, dragging her behind me as I walk to the mansion.

She finally catches up. "So," she starts. "Why were you out here?" "I had a nightmare," I state, looking at the ground and digging my hands into the jacket pockets. "Wanna talk about it?" Aikae asks. "I'm fine now. I'll tell you about it some day."

I spot the mansion and start running towards it. Hoping Aikae followed me, I carefully open the door. "Okay," I whisper, closing the door behind me once she comes inside. "Everyone is asleep, so you have to be quiet. You can sleep in my room, it's the first door on the right, and be sure to skip the third step to the top. It creaks." "Okay. Thanks but, where will you sleep?" Aikae replies.

"With KAITO. Now go to bed. You've had a long night." her expression seems to drop a little when I answer her question, but she does as I say as I walk down the hall.

When I open the door, only KAITO wakes up. (Gakupo and Len are heavy sleepers) "What's wrong?" he asks. I shake my head. "I'll tell you tomorrow," And with that, I poof into my pjs and climb into bed with him, his arms encircling my waist.

"So," Len says through a mouthful of cereal. "You rescued a girl who's house burned down, and she's going to be sleeping in your room until we can find somewhere else for her?" I nod, and eat my own cereal.

"Cool. Where is she?" he replies. I see a flash of brown in the corner of my eye, and point to see Aikae walking down the steps. Len follows my finger and sees her. He whistles, and Luka hits him on the head with a leek.

"Hey!" I exclaim, stealing the leek from her.

"Where did you get those clothes?" I ask Aikae, who was sliding into the seat next to Len. "Mayu made them for me." she blushes and looks at her lap. "Okay. Well, everyone, this is Ryouta Aikae. Aikae, this is Len, KAITO, Luka, Rin, and MEIKO. I think you know everyone else." I say, pointing to each person at the table as I say their name.

"Hi." she holds up her hand and waves it a little.

(Omg 10014 words omg -Kay)

"So, you like VOCALOID?" says Rin. "Oh, yes. I listened to you all the time. My favorite song was Rooter's Song." "Was?" KAITO repeats. "My parents took my computer away after they found out I had one. They abused me. That's why I'm not very sad about my house. I hope they're dead." "Oh god, Aikae. What did they do to you?" Luka asks.

I notice tears brimming Aikae's eyes. "Hit me with a belt, punched me, kicked me..." she trails off. I hug Aikae to my side. "Don't worry, Aikae-chan! We barely get in fights here! Well, exept with my sister Zatsune. She's the meanest of mean. Try not to talk to her." "Speak of the devil." mumbles Rin, and we all look into the doorway to see Zatsune staring at Aikae. She saunters over and puts her hand on the table, leans into it.

"A Newbie? What's the story this time?" Zatsu fakes a yawn. "She's not a VOCALOID. She's been through a lot. Just leave her alone, okay?" Len says.

"I won't leave until I know her name. What is it, darling?" "Ryouta Aikae." she whispers. "What was that?" Zatsune cups her hand around her ear and leans closer. "RYOUTA AIKAE!!" she yells, and Zatsune leans back and puts her hands on her hips. "Happy?" Aikae says. "Very." And Zatsune walks away.

Aikae sighs and her shoulders hunch. I rub her back.

(IM STARTING TO RUN OUT OF IDEAS HELP -Kay)

"Musicland!!!" Aikae finishes. We were in the basement again, and everyone insisted that Aikae sing something. She decided on Alice in Musicland, as you can tell.

Everyone claps. Aikae has a beautiful voice. It's so sad, what happened to her. "Aikae!" I call, she looks up. "Ever been swimming?" she perks up. "Only once. I know how to, at least." "Isn't it too cold for that?" says Big Al. "Oh yeah..." I start thinking again. "PIKO AND RION'S PARTY!!!" I suddenly scream. KAITO raises his eyebrow at me.

"We have to finish planning it! We completly forgot!" I exclaim. "Piko, Rion, go take Aikae-Chan shopping or something. Don't come back until we text you saying you can." They both sigh and walk up the steps to the living room. Aikae follows.

"Alright," I say. "Let's get this party planned."

Omg 1400 words EXACTLY. I was so close ;u; I didn't want to write them planning it so I would have to write the party and that would take a whole chapter and ain't nobody got time fo dat! Lmao I hoped you enjoyedddddd c; -Kay
