Alive Inside- Luka x Miku

Eleven

Two Weeks later..

"Miss Hatsune?" The nurse said, taking my tray in her hands. "How are you feeling?"

"Better.." I mumbled.

"We thought you were in a coma. Perhaps it was a small one. It's just a miracle you woke up this morning." The nurse smiled. I shrugged and laid down. "Oh, Hatsune-San, your girlfriend and her father, and police will be visiting you on account of your mother and where you will stay."

"Okay..." I whispered. "I just want to sleep for now."

"You do that." The nurse said. I shut my eyes and hugged the pillow. It was a make-do Scruff.

"Hatsune....Wake up..." A voice whispered. I opened my eyes weakly, earning a familiar gasp.

"Miku!" Luka. She was here.

I sat up weakly, groaning with pain, and plumped up my pillows. I held my stomach in agony when I looked at Luka admiringly. She took my hands and stared before hugging me gently, crying into my shoulder. "I thought you were gonna die on me."

"I'm not leaving you." I whispered.

"I missed you so much." Luka wept.

"Me too Luka." I said. "Me too."

She looked into my eyes and I did the same. We didn't get to kiss as Luka's father instructed her to let me be. She stood beside him.

"Miss Hatsune Miku, correct?" The policewoman said. I nodded.

"Am I in trouble?" I asked.

"No, we need to discuss things on account of your mother." The policeman said. "I'm Baki, and she's Jimi."

"Hello." I said. I looked at Luka, and she nodded like it was okay.

"We're going to ask you a few questions." Jimi said. "First, was your mother an alcoholic?"

"Yes.." I whispered.

"Did she smoke, Hatsune-san?"

"Yes.."

"Did something traumatic happen in her and or your lives that caused her to do what she did?"

I blinked back tears. "My father died...Around 8 months ago. Ever since then...She abused me. Physically and verbally. She wanted something to take her anger out on, someone to blame...I was the only person left."

Luka started crying and buried her face in her dad's chest, like she couldn't bare to hear it. He comforted her and rested his chin on her head, and it made me well up.

"If you wouldn't mind me asking, how did she abuse you?"

"She..she would hit me, and kick me, and throw things at me, and scream at me, and neglect me. The room I was found in, the one Luka broke into...She'd throw me in there and...leave me. For sometimes hours, other times days. And as time went on she started making it unbearable and tortured me...Like forcing my hands up and putting weight on my shoulders so I wanted to bend my elbows but I couldn't, and making me stand on my toes because a nail would be underneath my heels."

I started sobbing. So did Luka. The police let her comfort me, and she sat on my bed and out her arms round me.

"Why didn't you tell anyone, Miss Hatsune?" The police asked.

"Because I.." I began. "My mother always told me she'd kill me if I did."

Luka rocked me gently.

"Now, We're aware that you were hurt badly by an incident at school?" Baki said. I nodded. He continued and looked at me. "Miss Megurine tells me that you tried killing yourself...Was this because of...The abuse, or the bullying?"

"Both." I wept. Jimi noticed something and took my wrist. I tried pulling back, but she saw and so did Luka. My self harming.

"M-Miku?!" Luka bawled. "No no! I..Please no."

I wrapped my arms round her neck and just cried.

."Miss...Do you feel like you need any psychological help?" Baki asked. "Or do you think you can handle it yourself?"

I looked at Luka. "If my friends can help me through it...Maybe I can."

"One final thing Miss Hatsune." Jimi said. "Since you have no family to take care of you, you have two options."

"Which are?"

"We can put you into foster care, have someone professional to help you find a family. Or you can stay with the Megurines, as they said they want to adopt you into the family."

"Not as a sister to me or anything, that'd be weird." Luka said. "Just as...my lover?"

"That sounds wonderful." I smiled. "If you really don't mind, I'd love to stay!"

"That's it Miss." Jimi said. "We'll be taking our leave now."

Both stood up. "We hope things get better for you, Miss Hatsune. Have a good day.."

"You too." I said, and they left.

"Shall I leave you two alone?" Mr Megurine asked. Luka shrugged.

"If you want.." She said. Mr Megurine nodded and walked.

"Mr Megurine?" I said before he left. He turned round. "Thank you, for letting me stay with you. You don't know what this means to me."

"Don't worry about it, you're a pleasure to have- and call me Luki." 'Luki' said, and walked out.

"Miku?" Luka said. I looked at her.

"Yes, Luka?" I smiled.

"Look being...being with you...it might have been limited, but I really really love you, you know that right?" Luka said. She took my hands in hers. "And I wanted to ask you...will you be my girlfriend?"

I smiled and kissed her on the lips. I muffled one word into the kiss.

"Yes."
