Vocaloid Agents

Chapter 37- Mixed Feelings

IA POV

Miku sipped her coffee. "Okay, so," she set her coffee down. "How exactly did that agency find Gumi and Zatsune without finding us?"

"I heard a loud sound downstairs in the room next to this one. Luckily, they didn't get in here or they would've known that there was more people. Anyway, Zatsune and I went downstairs to check out the noise, and we figured since we live in a mansion, we could've gotten robbed. So when we get downstairs, these four people attack us and tie us up and they tried to get us to talk. Zatsune and I made sure to stay quiet," Gumi explained.

"Yup," Zatsune said. "Luckily that guy Yuma hid you guys so you weren't found."

"Yeah, and holy crap he must've been quick," Gumi added.

ONE smiled. "He is. My Yuma is amazing! I love him so much."

"Speaking of Yuma, how long will it take for him to get back?" I asked.

ONE thought for a second. "Hmmm... Well. It took me like half an hour to pack my things. And escaping wasn't all that hard. He's quick, he should get here in about an hour-"

There was a knock at the door.

ONE squealed with delight. "That must be him!" Her and I ran to the door and opened it. Yuma stood there with a large gray duffel bag and he looked exhausted.

"I... did it," he said, out of breath.

"Huh? Why so out of breath, Yuma???" ONE asked.

"I almost got caught."

I grabbed his hand and pulled him in. "Well, come in, you must be exhausted," I said. "Also, we will have Meiko hide your car so they don't find it."

Meiko stood up. "Yup, I'll hide it in the garage," she took his keys and went outside.

Miku and Kaito stood up. "We'll show him to his new room," Kaito said, gesturing Yuma upstairs.

ONE smiled. "Goodness, I am so happy!!"

Rin finished her orange juice. "Well, I'm gonna take a dang nap. I'm freaking tired!" As she headed upstairs, Len trailed behind her.

Meiko slammed her mug down angrily. "This coffee did me no justice. I'm gonna go back to sleep."

Luka stood up. "I'm gonna make more coffee."

ONE stood up. "IA, I don't think you have properly met Yuma. Let's go upstairs!"

I grabbed my coffee and followed ONE upstairs. We heard talking in the empty room between my room and ONE's.

"I hope you like your room, Yuma," Kaito said and walked past us.

"If you fuck up again, I will kick you out of this agency," Miku angrily stated, following Kaito out of the room.

"Hey, ONE. Hi IA," the way Yuma said my name made my stomach feel..  weird.

"Hey, Yuma!!" She wrapped her arms around him. "What was Miku talking about??"

Yuma sighed and ruffled his fingers through his hair. "Oh, It's just about how I kinda failed my first mission ever..."

"Oh yeah... You briefly mentioned it. You should tell us more about it," ONE suggested.

Yuma then began explaining how he had joined this agency a while ago and how he was assigned a mission, a very important in that matter. Suddenly, I realized... This was the mission that had ONE and my mother killed. ONE didn't know our mom was dead, so it was best not to say anything. What if she hates Yuma for that? I can't let that happen.

ONE smiled sadly. "It's fine. It was a mistake, not all missions can be successful, Yuma. Anyways! Have you and my sister IA properly met???"

I suddenly remembered the first encounter I had with him, where he held a gun to my back and... kissed me. The look he gave me indicated he remembered that, too.

"I'm going to take that as you guys haven't properly met," ONE said. "This is Yuma, him and I go way back. When I was alone, IA, I was so troubled. But then I met him. We went on missions together, we got to know each other. He's my very best friend."

I smiled at Yuma. "Thank you for keeping my sister company all these years."

He smiled back. "My pleasure. ONE means a lot to me."

ONE stood up, yawning. "Holy crap I am tired!!! That stupid agency came so early in the morning," ONE looked at the time on her phone. "It's 8 in the morning! Well I'm gonna go sleep."

ONE left the room before I could get up and leave as well. Crap, she is quick! I didn't want to be left alone with Yuma. I quickly got up, but Yuma said, "Wait, IA."

"Uh, yeah??" I turned to him.

"The kiss... did it mean anything to you? I mean I know it was a while ago, but yeah..."

I stared into his jade green eyes for a while. "Well... Yes. I liked it... But, ONE seems to like you."

"I don't like ONE like that," he said, tilting his head slightly, which caused a small piece of his cotton candy colored hair to fall over his beautiful eyes. "She's my best friend."

"I understand.. Anyways, why did you kiss me that day? I don't understand..." I asked.

"Well that day, I thought I was going to die. I was assigned a mission to that agency, but something came up and I had to go alone. I got caught and I had to hide... I thought I was going to die. So I saw you... I thought you were probably the most beautiful girl I've seen, so I just said screw it. And I did it.. I'm sorry," he explained, taking off his beanie and raffling his fingers through his pink hair.

I blushed. "Well, I did enjoy it... But let's just remain friends for now, okay?" He had a hurt look on his face. It also hurt me to see his face like that but I stood up to leave the room.

As a opened the door, he said, "IA," I turned to him. "We'll be more than friends one day~" he winked at me. I blushed and rushed out of the room.

Damn, what was with that suddenly personality change!? I rolled my eyes and went into my room. Well crap, his room was next to mine. Awkward. Anyways, I was also pretty tired. Well, might as well go to sleep.
