Songs Across The Seas (A Hatsune Miku Story)

Seven

Another morning in Colorado Springs. This time around, Miku was up a little earlier than usual. For some odd reason, she had decided to get up herself and get her breakfast from the breakfast room herself. It didn't make her happy to do it, but she still did, and now she had finished her breakfast on her bed. With little interest in what was on the TV, she was bored. That is, until her door opened and Kathy came in.

"Hello Hatsune." She greeted. "Hey Kathy. What are you doing here?" "Well, Alex is at a show and Hiru went with him, so I figured you and I could spend a day. Get to know the area better." Kathy proposed. "I don't have much else to do, so I guess we could go do something." Miku said, getting up. "You have anything in mind?" She asked Kathy. "I was thinking we could go up to Garden of the Gods for a walk." "Garden of the Gods? I think I've heard of that place. Hiru probably mentioned it." "It's a beautiful place. I think you'll like it." Kathy said with a smile.

After some freshening up, Miku and Kathy got in Kathy's car and she began to drive to up Garden of the Gods, with Miku in the passenger seat. Miku laid back in her seat, listening to her music through one earbud. Her phone buzzed. She looked down. It was a message from Kaito. Miku rolled her eyes and read it.

"Hello Miku."

"Hello Kaito."

"I was speaking with your production team earlier, looking to see how I could help with your recent decrease in interest. And then they told me you were in America. Haha. What are you doing there?"

"I have an American partner that I'm working with to increase interest in my music. Problem?"

"An American partner?? Hiru really pulled some strings didn't he? Whose the partner?"

"Prince Alex."

"Oh. How horrific."

"What are you talking about?"

"That name. It's a desperate cry for attention."

"Kaito. Shut up. That's very rude."

"Feisty. And so defensive. Is there something I should know about you and this prince?"

"There's nothing. But you're being very rude to my partner and I cannot accept that."

"Haha okay then. I'm glad you say that. I was worried you had forgotten about us being a couple in the future."

"As if that's gonna happen.""Whose to say it won't? The media wants it, I want it, your fans want, your team wants it, and somewhere deep down, I think you do too."

"I told you what I thought of being with you. I would NEVER be even slightly interested in you. I don't care who the hell wants otherwise, because it will not happen. I'd sooner go with Alex than you, and I just met him. That's sad, isn't it?"

"You keep on working Miku, and I'll keep your secret safe for now. Take it as a kind gesture. But I wouldn't be so sure you'll never come around. Who knows? Maybe something will change your mind."

"Tch. I doubt it."

At this point, the car had reached Garden of the Gods. Kathy parked the car, and the two got out. Miku irritably shoved her phone in her pocket, trying to forget the conversation as quickly as possible. She grumbled to herself as they started walking down the sidewalk, and Kathy quickly took notice.

"You okay, Miku?" "Just some roach I haven't been able to get rid of." Miku said with a sigh. "Mhmm?" Kathy hummed questioningly. "It's a long story." Miku said with a quick wave of her hand. "Well, you don't have to tell if you don't want to, but I'm listening if you do." Kathy reassured as they entered Garden of the Gods. Miku sighed, then decided to go ahead and tell Kathy. She seemed trustworthy.
