Vocalising Desires: AMPLIFIED (Vocaloid)

Chapter 8: Brutal Love (Part 1)

-Miku's POV-

Argh! All these idiots don't get it yet do they? I groan as I decline yet another hopeful partner who wanted to go to the Gion Matsuri, the July festival heard in the Gion district of Kyoto. I sigh as I walk to my classroom. Lunchtime had been a lonely and annoying one. Boys with hopeful faces asking me to go to the festival and Len was at home, sick. I sighed, the split single (my first) was out in stores and were selling quite well actually. Online and in stores. Ryo decided to organise that one, a final action of his before going off on his next project. Len and I had a private meal with him two nights ago and that would possibly explain Len's illness.

Anyways, the boys. All I can do is say, 'no' before they ask who 'the lucky guy' was. Hmph, bastards. Why? So they could beat whoever is going with me up? Dickheads.

The Gion Matsuri is a month long festival and I wanted to go the 15th and go around the nightly attractions, I had heard whispers of there being fireworks this year! Maybe on the 16th but maybe over it was a tri-nightly thing over the 14th, 15th and 16th. I don't know but I am excited for Len to see me in my yukata (summer kimono). I can already see the scene. Him there in his yukata or whatever he'll wear, he'll still be cute! And me walking up to him with my wooden geta clunking on the pavement, the nightly sky sparkling with stars as I greet him and embrace him. We'll go see the attractions, eat food, drink and maybe, kiss!

Wahhh! It's like any romantic manga!

"Hey Miku-chan, you have anyone to go with to the Gion Matsuri?" a familiar voice asked from beside me and now I feel depressed, no matter what who I want talking to me, it isn't. I turn to see Akaito with his blood red eyes and hair with his arms in casts signed by many people by many colours.

"Yeah" I reply sighing, being straight with this guy might make this day quicker. I see him frown.

"I didn't hear 'bout this, who is the boy you are going with?" Akaito asked curiously and I see the burning envy in his eyes.

"Just...someone I know" I reply and Akaito nodded once and grunted before walking away. Rin sure had done a number on him with his plastered arms and all that. Maybe if she had snapped his neck...

-Len's POV-

Two days later...

I sigh as Rin fusses about like a dog with fleas. She had put on her pale yellow yukata on and her geta and I was tying a creamy white obi around her waist. On the table I see her black foldable fan.

Well, actually my description is pretty lazily done but I am just excited to go with Miku to the...wait a second, why am I excited? Geez , I need to see a psychologist. Well in reality, Rin's yukata was pale yellow but was decorated with gentle yet bold floral patterns, beautifully designed and matched her personality. Bold on the outside yet she hid that gentle warm flame that could slowly boil water.

"Let's go Len!" Rin whinged and I sighed.

"I have to get dressed too!" I replied slightly pissed. Rin pouted but I grunted and walked up to my room and sighed. I had my clothing laid out on my bed. I put on my yukata which was a deep blue with thin white strips that crossed horizontally. I place on my kasa, which was made of straw and a ring that made an umbrella like shape. I didn't want people to recognise me with Miku and this was only temporary, until I find something more...disguise-like. I walk down again and see Rin tapping her foot. I put on my geta and tie around a thinner obi and grab my fasa and shot out of the door, remembering that I had money in my wallet as well. I hear Rin gently shut the door and I sighed in relief. Time to meet Miku.
