        "I tell ya...man! I can't believe I fell off....ahhh..." A brunnette woman, looking to be in her twenties, rocked back and forth on a wooden chair. Music blared in the building that was obviously a bar. The woman's eyes were wide and deep. The normal bright brown was now dull with alchohol. She was blabbering random gibberish to a girl who happened to be sitting next to her. This girl faked a smiled and kept a hand in front of her white bow to prevent the other from snatching it. "Len...Len are you almost done?!" She called for her brother nervously, a bead of sweat dripping down her skin. "My my Rinny-san, your hair is so blonde...are you stupid?" The woman swallowed another swig of her rum and choked on it harshly, slamming her fist on the dark wood of the table.

        "M...Meiko...." A man tapped the drunk on the shoulder. In his other hand, he held a mint ice cream cone that had long since melted. His hair whisked at his ears and was a bright blue, matching his scarf that touched the floor. He was trying not to be loud, unlike Meiko. She shot up and looked at him straight in the eyes. "Ow!" He squeaked when she grabbed his jaw, pressing it. The smell of the rum stuck to her skin like musk. The male coughed and sputtered, hating the stench. "Aww! Kaito-kun hates the smell!" Meiko sneered and smashed her lips on his, breathing into him. Kaito didn't refuse, he just pulled back and kissed her forehead lightly. Of course, the drunkenness of the brunette affected her choices and she tore at his scarf, digging for his neck.

        A waitress passed them by and pretended to retch. "Oh wow...get a room!" She shouted at the two. Her aqua hair almost touched the floor, long enough for Meiko to grab it and tug at it, letting her scream. "You drunk whore!" The girl spat, jumping away. The brunette choked on those words and spat back. "You self-obsessed bitch!" Meiko flung the girl to the floor, tugging her hair. Rin jumped from her seat and screamed. "Miku-nee!" Rin wanted to help but was too afraid. The bar had gone silent in shock. Meiko was often a kind person who was looked up to, now people feared her.
        

        Miku stood back up, unafraid. She used both hands to grab Meiko's collar. "You think you are all of that and that you can act like a smartass to me?! Bitch, I'm the queen...the one and only! You belong in the trash with your boy toy over there, forget you! You may have been the first but compared to me, you are bullshit!" Miku said those words in a robotic scream straight into Meiko's ear. The words struck the brunette in the heart like nails, her knees were weak and tears rolled down her cheeks. Before Miku could say more, Kaito ripped her off and shoved her into a table. "Don't you dare set a foot close to my Meiko again, or I'll rip those tails off your head and have me a new scarf!" He turned and let Meiko wrap her arms around his neck. He started humming in her ear and picked her up, carrying her to their car. "Are you okay?" He asked, a worried look on his face.

        Meiko couldn't move, her heart felt like lead, pulling itself into her stomach. She looked up at Kaito and tears and ugly sobs came from her. "A...am I r...r...really trash?" She asked with a drunken stammer. Kaito leaned close to her. "Never...never in my eyes...you are beautiful, amazing, and I love you....." With that, he came close to her face and started to kiss her. Forgetting the smell of her breath, although it stung his nostrils. The short moment felt like falling...they truly did love each other, it didn't even matter what others told them. Meiko was the one to pull back, letting her shoulders fall as she buckled herself into the car. The blue shut her door and sat inside the driver's side. He buckled himself in and shut the door. Meiko had already fallen asleep, breathing deeply, strained.

        Kaito turned on the radio and pulled out of the parking lot. "I can't believe..." He muttered to himself as he drove down the road. He started to curse himself in Japanese for a long time until he pulled into a gravel driveway. He turned the key off, stepping from the car. A small package was on the front stoop. He came over and picked it up, examining the label. "To: Kaito and Meiko From: Luka...." He read it out loud and opened a package. It was just a newspaper clipping from Japan, and a hand written note. He read the clipping first:

                                         NEW VOCAL SYNTHESIS SOFTWARE SWEEPS NATION!

          He read on and on, how amazing he and Meiko were then. He finished and read the note, writen in pink.

Dear Meiko,

             I noticed the fight in the bar, so I thought I would give you a little reminder that Miku is wrong.
                                                                                                                          

                                                                                                                                                   Love,                                                                                                                                                                                    Luka Meg.

        The note made him smile and he placed them back in the package. He made way to the woman in the car and unbuckled the seat belt, picking her up in a cradle and taking her inside the house...
