Holiday Rampage

Miku waited and waited; All the other vocaloids beside her sat in a neat, comfortable line of chairs beside the hospital room. The chairs were on the side of the walls in the hallway, which was lighted poorly that afternoon. The lights flickered on and off, while soft, creaking noises downstairs made them shudder. Miku turned to the window, she tried to take her mind off the the noises downstairs. She looked through the hospital window: "Beautiful view, isn't it guys?" The hospital window showed the entire view of Tokyo city. Lights were beginning to flash on as the sun began to set across the city. A small park next to the hospital parking lot was also seen through the window, the park had a few benches and autumn colored trees in the background. Neru text on her phone some more; here and there, she checked on Miku. Miku seemed a bit sad and worried since the moment they came to the hospital. Of course, they've been waiting for half a day already, but that might not be the reason, even if Miku wasn't a night person: The reason Miku and the other vocaloids were at the hospital was because Yuki had brought them here by van to visit Luka. Luka, a few months earlier, was sent here after she was abducted by a few North Koreans. The North Koreans tried to take samples of her blood and then smuggle her across the DMZ. Why they wanted to do that, no one knows. Maybe the Koreans were interested in repopulating their country. Neru, like the others, were the first human vocaloids; But they were more than just that: The vocaloids and Neru were an experiment used to repopulate the country. What baffled Neru was how they got a hold of Luka to begin with. Miku and Kaito were with Luka the whole time. There was no way that she could be abducted unless they let her get taken away. Miku turned around and waved to Neru: "Is something wrong?" She said with a soft smile. Neru shrugged, "Nothing, I was just wondering what's on your mind?" Miku sighed, "I want to see Luka again." "We all do," Neru replied, "We all do." "Geez. I wonder what's taking so long in there," Kaito peeked through the hospital room door. The entire room was so brightly lit and the machine beeped Luka's pulse so much, that Kaito couldn't hear a thing or see what was happening in the room. The machine drowned out the voices inside and the lights blinded Kaito, preventing him from seeing Luka, Yuki, or the doctors inside. "I can't see anything," Kaito went back to his seat. Miku felt anxious, she really wanted to see Luka, but she was also afraid that Luka might remember what happened in Korea. Luckily, Haku, SeeU, Yuki kept a secret, but what about Yuki? Would she keep a secret? Miku hoped, if she didn't, then everyone would find out about the awful thing she did; They wouldn't speak to her and she would be alone forever. She would be ignored and hated, which would be very difficult: Miku did most of the work for her songs, Yuki had chosen her to be the lead singer in most of the performances they had, they were extremely hard; But Miku did the best she could. If the others hated her, there wouldn't be anyone to support her. Miku scraped the hospital window; Kaito held her hand: "Is something the matter?" Just then, Yuki opened the hospital room doors and waved for the vocaloids to come in. Everyone went in while Miku waited. When the last vocaloid entered, Miku followed. Yuki blocked her way and leaned over to whisper in one her ears: "She might not forgive you easily, keep that in mind," Yuki tapped her on the shoulder and let her in, "Good luck." Miku nodded, she would need all the luck she could to get Luka to forgive her. She stepped inside the room. Miku tried to make her way past the vocaloids that were gathering around her. She finally made her way to Luka; She sat comfortably in her bed and had a book on ninjas in her hands. Luka flipped through it while the others expressed how great it was to see her again. Luka put down her book: "It's great to see you too," she made eye contact with all the vocaloids. Eventually, her eyes ran across Miku and her smile faded away. "It's good to see you again too, Miku." Luka turned away, Neru noticed her turning away. Maybe Miku really did do something in Korea. It was clear, but what wasn't clear was what she did. Neru still needed to figure that out. "Okay guys," Yuki walked through the vocaloids and waved to Luka. "Ready to go home?" "Yeah," Luka nodded. The vocaloids gave her space to get off the bed. Once she got off, they all walked with her out of the eerie hospital. Miku tried to stay as far away from Luka as possible. She didn't want to upset her or bother her at all. The vocaloids and Yuki walked downstairs, after failing to cram everyone in the elevator. They reached the first floor and stepped out into the small park near the parking lot. SeeU, Nelson, and Haruka waited for them there. Nelson and Haruka both wore coats, Haruka's eyes were bright brown and she seemed to be wearing long sleeves to fight off the cold. Nelson didn't seem to mind the cold but he did put on a cap to keep his head warm. "Welcome back guys," Nelson ran up to each of the vocaloids and shook their hands. Rin poked Yuki:"Waht's with Nelson and Haruka?" "Scott will be staying with us for a while. You wn't mind won't you?" Yuki rubbed Rin's chin. Rin slapped Yuki's hand off of her cheek. "I'm not a kid!" "Oh, right, you're an older girl now, aren't you?" "Well..," she rubbed her fingers. "I guess they could stay for a while. But please don't let them watch over me.. I can handle myself." Yuki laughed, "Of course." They started to walk home in a wide, single file line. They followed the small road in the park back home. A few trees leaves began to fall off. Gakupo swiped a leaf in mid-air. "Autumn is coming." "Yes," SeeU smiled. "When it ends winter will come." "Can't wait," Kaito stopped to admire the trees. "Say, when will winter come?" Yuki stopped, she then pointed to a tree in front of Kaito, its leaves were almost ready to fall off. "When the last leaf falls on that tree." Yuki then continued walking. "Sweet, I know just what I want for winter!" Kaito ran, trying to catch up with Yuki. He accidentally tripped on a tree bark and crashed into the tree Yuki pointed at earlier; A mountain of leaves collapsed on him. Kaito punched out of the leaves and cheered. "It's Christmas! I want ice-cream for breakfast!" Rin joined in, "A giant tank!" "That's kind of expensiv-" "Oooh, ooh," Teto shouted, "Can I have french garlic bread?" "I think I cou-" "A brand new sword," Gakupo grinned. "Isn't that dangero-" "I want a pet octoupus," Luka made hugging motions. Yuki stuck her tongue out, "Um..why?" The other vocaloids joined in and blurted out what they wanted for Christmas. "Great...," Yuki sulked on the dirt. "What did we do?" Haku moaned. Nelson shrugged,"Don't worry about it. Anyway, we only need to walk a few more miles until we reach our home." "Right. I'm freezing out here," Miku shivered. She really needed to go home, she wanted to leave the hospital and forget about what happened here and in Korea. The vocaloids followed the road again until they reached their house. It stood on top of a tall, roadway-paved mountain. When they got closer, the gate doors opened for them. "Let's get out of this cold," Luka opened the front door and walked inside. The house was empty since everyone left to get Luka. A stairway led up to the bedrooms and the kitchen was dark, all the seats in the kitchen were empty and vegetables lay on the table, untouched. They all gathered in the living room and kept each other warm. Yuki gave them clothes to keep warm and set up a fire; Haruka made hot tea for everyone. Miku took a cup of tea and sat down. "Thanks for the tea," Rin and Len took two cups and sat down next to Luka and began talking to her. The twins mostly talked about all the activities they would do together, nothing too important to Miku. Kaito sat next to her, sipping his cup of tea. Miku gave him a small smile and tried to take her mind off Luka. "Is something bothering you Miku?" "No," she shook her head. "I'm
