Undecided

Neru looked up from her phone and she was greeted with the bright lights of the city and the sound of busy people in the streets. Even though it was already late at night, many people were up and about attending to their business. Where should I go first? But before Neru could make up her mind, she happened to glance at a passing car in the street and she stopped in her tracks. Was that...... Zero in that van? What was he doing? That wasn't his master he was with. Could he? Did he? Could he have gotten sold? Neru clenched her fists and shook her head. She shouldn't be worrying about that jerk. He didn't deserve it. But it was no use. She felt like she had to help him somehow. "No! That's his problem not mine....." Neru turned the other way but stopped again before she could take another step. The blonde vocaloid growled and turned back towards where the van took off. "I'm gonna regret this later. I'm really wasting my time on him." Reaching into her bag she felt around and found what she was looking for. Neru's hand wrapped around the hilt of her retractable katana. The blade was specifically designed to be concealed. When she wanted it, all she had to do was flick it outward and the pieces of the blade unfolded and locked together to form a long double edged katana. It wasn't fancy or ornate, but it got the job done. She would use it if she needed to. Tying her hair up into a pony tail, she took off in the direction the van was headed. Her hair felt weird being in a normal pony tail instead of her side one, but it was easier to do and it kept her hair out of her eyes better. "This boy had better thank me for saving his ass later..."

SeeU smiled at SeeMi as he tied his muffler on her neck. "Gamsahabnida! I'll also make sure you're warm so none of us will be cold. SeeU doesn't like taking people's jacket away from them and make them freeze to death." She told him before she walked back to her room.
A few minutes later, SeeU came back out with a plain white tee, black leggings, a neon orange hoodie one size bigger than her that said,"Free Hugs!" in black bold print, and white, black, and orange high tops, along with SeeMi's scarf. She also had her long hair in a hight pony-tail. "Heheh, sorry if I make you look like you're walking with a moving traffic cone." She grabbed SeeMi's arm as she enjoyed the scent coming from the muffler, when she stopped in her tracks. "So... Which way is it?"

(*Gamsahabnida- Thank you in Korean)

SeeMi smiled and gave her a free hug as her hoodies asked for. "Well, I hope their won't be any car accidents around us. Most cars would stay away from a traffic cone but I'm not sure about the roadroller that just passed by. Oh.. It's this way." said SeeMi as he lead SeeU to the restaurant he had mentioned.

Soon, they were infront of the korean restaurent called "Jag En Shim Tou" (Meaning little rest place in korean). It a middle sized place not too fancy but not to small too. A man with white hat and an apron spotted him an came out. "Hey, SeeMi!! Long time no see!! How were you doing!!" he said. "Long time no see, Hyong (A expresstion for a yonger guy to adress a friend that is a little older then himself.). All ways lookinggood with your apron! Right.." SeeMi replied with a grin. "So,... This is "Her"... Isn' she" he whispered as he rapped a arm around SeeMi with a mischevious expression. "Hyong!!!" yelled SeeMi with reddened face worried that SeeU might have over heard. "Well, let's go in, shall we??" said the cheif with a smile on his face. Before SeeMi went in, he saw a van driving up to the restaurent and a blonde haired vocaloid running after it. SeeMi had learned sword play a little bit and he had his own swords that was two Doos (Korean expression for katana... SeeMi hates speaking in Japaness) that one of them went into the other one that was hollow, at home. From his experience, he knew the blonde girl's stance was the stance of who was about to pull out a sword.

(A link to the sword I was talking about: http://item.gmarket.co.kr/DetailView/It ... 9pOnNkhzMN )

The 'van' that Zero must of... Mistakenly thought of for a truck, had stopped only a few blocks from when Neru last saw it. Gloom as ever, VY2 stepped out and followed the producer inside the restaurant. As they loo around, a table in the near corner had to men talking. Zero, knew one of them, being that it was his so called old manager, the other, by default, is no doubt his new one. They walked over to the two, and greeted them. After introductions were over, the producer left the restaurant and Zero sat next to his old producer as the two talk on about the contract. The new manger, seem a bit older and up to no good with this. Zero was well aware that he could be falling into one of those darker companies that like to add horrible extras in with the vocaloids songs. Crap like Alice Sacrifice, Sun Set Suicide, and Witch Hunt were indeed dark songs. The problem is that with those song there are simple animations and not the real vocaloid be turned inside out. He, was a purely based vocaloid so if he was to act in anything he was his own stuntman. Though as his voice is what people care about (being that he was never given a image) this could leave him wondering on what work he was thrown into, and why he never had a choice if he wanted to or not.

Zero simply sat there listening bored, staring out the window, thinking of better days. What else could he do? His job was in music, he had no other choice but to go with the flow. He sighed, the two were closely getting to the end of their conversation and one was tempted to pull out the contract for the other to sign.

"What now?" he asked himself.

Neru sprinted after the truck with all she had. Relived that it had stopped at a intersection, Neru was thankful that the traffic was pretty heavy at this time of night. The truck turned a corner and Neru slowed to a stop as to not look to suspicious. Casually turning the corner herself, Neru saw that the car had parked right in front of a fancy looking restaurant. Zero and another man got out of the car and stepped inside. Neru stopped to think. She really didn't have any form of a plan. What was she going to do when she got inside? She couldn't just go in by force and take him. That would cause problems. She had to be more..... crafty. After a few minutes of thinking, a plan formed in her head. Neru smiled wickedly. It was perfect. Neru reached into her bag and pulled out a small glass vial. She had forgotten all about it until now. About a year ago, Neru decided to play a prank on her master on his birthday and brewed a lethal poison to give to him as a joke. All year she had been joking with him about how she was plotting his death. Before giving him his real present, Neru held out the vial to him and said, "Happy Birthday, no do us all a favor and die." Her master just grinned at her and said, "Sure Neru, but then who would go and sell your albums?" Her master unscrewed the cork and almost drank it, thinking that the poison was fake but at the very last second, Neru chuckled and told him it was the real thing. Her master's face went pale and he set the vial down cautiously. He never teased her again. They had their arguments but she would always win. It was amazing she still had the thing in her bag. Now she would finally be able to use it.

Neru strolled into the restaurant casually and went to the back. The staff was WAY to busy to notice her and Neru snatched one of the waitress uniforms off the rack. Sneaking off to the restroom, Neru undressed and put on the uniform and put her own clothes into her bag. As she exited the bathroom, one of the waitresses noticed her and waved for her to come. Putting on a fake smile, Neru walked up to her. "Hey, go take care of that table over there." The other girl eyed Neru. "Are you new? I haven't seen you here before." Neru nodded and headed to the table where Zero and the two other men were sitting. Not caring if Zero recognized her, Neru smiled brightly at the two men. "Good evening. Would you men care for something to drink?" So far so good.

Miku, Len, and Rin reached home and parked the roadroller in their parkinglot. "Len!! That was epic!!!" said Miku in her (>o<) face. They started to make their way toward home. At the enterence, Luka and Gumi was waiting for them. "Luka chan!! You won't believe how good the concert was!! You really had to be there!!" Miku said as she hugged Luka. Luka and Gumi had some new programing to do so they had to stay home during the concert. "Gumi chan!! You too!!!" said Miku as jumped up and down holding Gumi's shoulders.

"I'm sorry I wasn't able to go Miku-chan!" said Gumi as Miku let go of her. "So how was the concert?" Gumi asked as she started playing with Miku's hair.

"It was fabulous!!!!! The fans were excilerating!! And then, and then... Guess what, Zero talked to Neru!!!.' Miku said as she explained what had happen today at the concert. "So Neru ran off right before we got on the roadroller. Maybe, she ran to meat Zero!!! My, my, Gumi!! I think Neru's growing up!!!" said Miku as she made a jokeful crying expression. "Well, I better run off now. Master says that he has a new software for me!!" said Miku as she ran off.

SeeU blushed when SeeMi hugged her. She didn't have a clue why he did that until she remembered which orange hoodie she was wearing.
When they got the restaurant, SeeMi was greeted by a man that seemed to know him well as she respectfully bowed at him. The man wrapped his arm around SeeMi's shoulder as he whispered something in his ear. She couldn't hear but she was fine with that. She was starving anyways. She grabbed SeeMi's hand and started to pull him towards the entrance. "Oppa, let's go! I'm craving for some kimchi." She gave him a smile as she turned, still pulling his arm which turned out to be a failure since he still didn't move from his spot. Her eyes then grew with concern and hugged the arm she was pulling on. "Mianhae! Did SeeU pull SeeMi's arm too hard? You're not hurt right?"

(*Mianhae- Sorry in Korean)

Zero heard a smoothing voice in all this gloomy conversation of business and who gonna get the most out of this... He turned and look up at the waitress, surprised, then annoyed to see a girl similar... No wait, it was Neru. He had a double take reaction as his annoyed puzzled face turned to a small grin. He began to wonder if Neru truly worked here... No, no way, she was a vocaloid. Yet, he did see her walk off away from the group of vocaloids before he was told the bad news. He was tempted to laugh, so instead he simply chuckled. He waited till the two mangers answer her.

The first one, young and a bit cocky, "Ya just get me a water or whatever..."

The older one, smile slyly at her and said, "I'll have what ever my new star is having."

Zero expression turned to anger. It was almost like he was mocking him.

"Oh? What's the matter? Dear friend I simply can't by a vocaloid with no spirit for that price. Why don't you prick off a few thousand?" he said to the other manager.

The manager hissed in anger as he kick Zero's legs for making him lose money. Zero growled.

"Surprise me honey!" he blurted out at Neru, soon regretting it as the sly manger laughed at him.

"No, It's nothing. I think I'm a lot of vocaloids today. Maybe even too much. Three of them were going crazy on a roadroller and now I see on with a sword." SeeMi replied. It was not so deathly surprising to see three vocaloids outside of his job but too see all of them doing somthing crazy was unnatural. Also, the expression on the blonde vocaloid's face was something close to a death wish mixed with excitment. Well, he would protect SeeU and himself if anything happened. "Did you seriously think that you could hurt me? Well, in the physical section anyway." SeeMi said with a smerk as he thought of SeeU tring to hurt him in real cobat. He was pretty sure with his swordplay and Teguando (Like Korean Kung Fu) skills.

They went in and took the seats. Soon, a waitress came to take their orders. "May I take your orders and anything to drink while waiting?" she asked. "Um.... I'll have a bulgogi, with a bowl of rice and...SeeU? What would you like to have?" SeeMi asked.

The two managers were beginning to tick Neru off. They were treating Zero like he was just a piece of property or something. Even though they were androids and not human, they still had emotions and feelings. Neru clenched her fist tight and told herself to hold it together. Her master never treated he like an object. All the vocaloids were supposed to be like family.

"Surprise me honey!"

'Honey'? Ok then. Suprise him? Neru's mind spun. What drink would work well with her plan? She hoped Zero didn't mind alcohol.

"Alright! I'll be right back." With a nod and a sweet smile, Neru went back to the kitchen and set the order on the counter.

"One water and two martinis!"

The drinks came almost immediately. This place was really on top of things. Slipping the glass vial she had hidden in her pocket into her hand, Neru unscrewed the cork and poured out the liquid into one of the martinis. Making sure she remembered that Zero's was on the left, she set the drinks on a serving tray and headed back to the table. Now, all he would have to do was drink it. The only problem was that she needed for him to go to the bathroom. Then he would be hers.

"Here are your drinks. One water and two martinis. You told me to surprise you."

Neru set the drinks down and gave another fake smile. She hated how much she was talking. It made her uncomfortable. But she dragged herself into this and there was no tuning back now.

"I'll let you gentlemen look at the menu for a bit. It seems your discussing something quite important. Just give me a holler if your ready to order."

SeeMi was woken up from his mouth opening, stunned in surprise and awkwardness, dumfounded stare by a huge laugh from Jae Min (the owner of the restaurant) who had made his way to their table. "SeeMi, You'll have to work till your back aches to feed this girl! Hahahahaha" he laughed. "Um..... Jae Mini Hung... a little help......" SeeMi said to the owner with a pleading look. "Well, It's the first time my dongseng brought a girl to my store!!. Don't worry my boy, it's on the house today!! Yo, Waitress, serve everybody here a free Makgully (Korean Alchole) and bring this couple here a drink!!" said the Jae Min almost flipping out. "Um... thank you... I'll bring you a concert ticket of something if I can....." SeeMi said going a little red in the face from him thinking this was a date. Or, maybe... it was a date... "Store your money if you can, You'll need it for the future!!" he said as he went into the citchen to make the foods. He was the head cheif here too so they needed him. "Um.. SeeU, the Shikhey (A korean drink that is like suger water mixed with seriously little amount of alchole and rice floating inside) here is pretty good for derest..." SeeMi said with a awkward smile with his blushed face.

Gumi decided to go get a drink of water as she saw Miku run off. She suddenly had the urge to eat something with carrots in it. "Maybe I should bake a carrot cake." Gumi thought to herself.

"Gumi chan!! Lets go take a bath!!! You too Rin!!!" Miku said as she dragged Rin to the bathroom as she spoke to Gumi. "Master says it takes a little prep for the new software. So, we are taking a bath!! It's a little sad that Len can't join but still." she said as they entered their bathing room. It was a warm room with a pretty big bathtub (Well, those huge ones where about 4 people can swim in). "Let's dive in Rin!!" Miku said as she ran in deactivating her cloths.

"Miku-chan! The water's a little too warm, don't you think?" Gumi said as she also started deactivating her clothes. "So when's the next concert going to be, Miku-chan? I hope I'll be able to go this time."

A confused look was placed on SeeU's face. "Oh I'm sorry, Jae Min was it? But you got it all wrong. We're not a couple," she looked towards SeeMi, "right?" Suddenly, she put two and two together. Alone. Just the two of them. SeeU and SeeMi. In a restaurant. '... A date?' SeeU's face turned red at the thought as she cupped her cheeks. She looked up to the blonde Korean Vocaloid in front of her, "Oppa, d-do you...?" Blushing even harder, she looked away, flustered at what the employee had said. She let out a nervous laugh, "Heheh, sorry. I was jumping into conclusions. I thought this was just a friendly.. thing."

"Yah... Sorry about Jae Min... He's a good guy but he loves to be envolved in other's love affairs and he is famous around here for jumping conclutions... Also, he was a little worried about me not even having a girlfriend in my short 18 year life." SeeMi said with a awkward smile. Jae Min was a good guy who tried to help other people, especially in love. However, he wasn't smart and often just made things worse. The korean saying "A good idiot is the worst idiot" seemed to be made for that man.

"So, how's your song coming out?" SeeMi said tring to ease the awkwardness that was flogging up the atmosphere. One thing SeeU and he had in common was hating awkward moments and he knew that. "Since, you wrote a crumpled loveletter on the music for "I=fantasy" and shot it at my face, that things are going good? Why don't you try for "Ddrarira" next?" SeeMi said as he smiled as a weak effort to easy the mood.

Zero stayed in his sour mood as Neru returned with the drinks. He blinked as a martini was in his face. He looked up at her puzzled, but she smiled an left him with the two money makers. He sighed. If he was not in this position he would be most likely be cracking snobby jokes with Neru on why she works here. He kept it to himself, being that he already made her angry once today. Not a good idea to do that again. He sat there listening as the conversation went on.

"Okay then. So do we have a deal? No more changes to the contract right?" asked the cocky manager who then took a sip from his glass of water.

Zero, sighed, and thought might as well get a good drink in before he moved on, most likely never seeing his vocaloid friends again. He gulped down the drink, which was a bad idea for him. The manger grinned, having his martini half full from taking sips though the conversation. He popped out a pen and was about to sign his name...

"Um, I'll be right back." said Zero, suddenly not feeling the best.

The new manager laughed, "Whats that matter boy? Can't handle a martini?"

Zero, sighed and moved on to take a breather outside. By the time he got back the manager was gone. Zero looked at his old manager who was stressing out over the unsigned contract.

"Where did he go?" Zero asked sitting back down.

"The restroom." he replied.

Zero shrugged, then took a look at what the contract said. He tightened his grip once he was done reading only for it to be ripped out of his hands.

"Get pissy all you want but you knew this day would come. After all that's all you are, and I'm getting a hell of a lot more money than you ever brought in." sneered the ex-manager.

Zero was tempted to punch him, in fact he raised a fist.

"You little..." he stopped as his stomach felt a turning sensation.

He didn't feel good, maybe the alcohol, it's happen before. He sat back down and resisted the urge to complain about his sudden cramping feeling.

"Oh, it's fine, I guess. Jae Min seems to be pretty cool, but does he usually jump into conclu-" SeeU was interrupted when a waitress came by to serve them their food. She was practically eyeing the dishes in awe and hunger. She slightly coughed, crossing her legs with, hands placed on her lap, and back straightened to appear more lady like. She sweetly smiled at SeeMi, trying to look away from the food as much as possible. "As I was saying, why did he make such a big deal about... you know." She looked down, poking her fingers together, "... with the whole couple thing and stuff.. I mean, even if we were on a date, how come he got all excited over it?" She then looked dead straight at SeeMi waiting for a reply, tilting her head to the side in confusion.

"Well, I sould get going if I am going to finish the upgarde and have a little bit of sleep till tomarrow." Miku said as she got out of the tub. It has been about 20 minutes in the tub. "I think my leakrush is over. I might have to have another one if I am to finish the upgrade." she added with a tired expresstion.

After a while, she was the the computer room with her master. "Master, what am I upgrading today???" she asked. She was feeling somewhat better after the leak she found in the refrigerator. "Well, what we are upgrading today is called a Black Rock Shooter. I thought it might help." the master said with a mysterious smile. "Well, OK!!!" Miku said cheerfully. Nothing really went wrong when the master said so.

Miku was in her incubator with the cords to the computer attached. "Vocaloid 01 Miku, connected. Getting access from computer. Downloading program Black Rock Shooter. Installing....." Miku said in a more machenical voice then usual. She was installing the new program into her system. Suddenly, the water in her incubator turned black. Then, with a strange mechenical sound, the watter started to the incubator open. "Project Black Rock, 1st Shooter, Vocaloid -01 Mato, Installed. Starting activation." came a calm and cool voice. It was Miku... or know, Mato Vocaloid -01. She was the operator for Black Rock Shooter and the second personality for Vocaloid 01 Miku. She still had Miku's twin ponytail but it was black and one end was a little shorter then the other. "Activating Barior Jacket." she said as a short pants, string top bikini, black boots, and a long boack jacket with a hoodie started to cover her body. "Vocaloid -01 Mato, meating master. Hello, master." said Mato. "Yes, hellow Mato.... Nice to meet you...." said the master. He looked like a man who just got and lost everything he wanted and owned. "Nice... to... see you." he repeated.

(Sorry for going crazy but I really wanted to do that. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha)

"I wonder what's taking Miku-chan so long... She's been gone for a while." Gumi said as she started to get her clothes back on. She started worrying about Miku for a little while until her hunger finally caught up to her. "Oh! I should go bake a carrot cake!" She started her way to the kitchen and pulled out the ingredients. After she had finished the preparations, she waited the 25 minutes to bake the cake. I wonder if Miku-chan and the others would want some cake? Gumi thought to herself. The bell ticked and scared Gumi out of her carrot cake thoughts and got it out of the oven. Thinking that the cake looked bland, she decided to put a little frosting picture on the cake with all the vocaloids. "There, that should do it." Gumi said with a little smile.

Mato was going into the citchin for a drink of water when she saw Gumi with a carrot cake. "Oh... Hello, Gumi. My name is Mato, the operator of black rock shooter and in other words Miku's second personality. Do not worry about Miku because she is just asleep and will awake tomarrow morning. Night, is the time I am allowed so please donot worry. " she said in a cool and uninterested voice. "It seems that you have a very good taste for making cake Gumi. May I have a peice if it won't bother anything?" she added.

(Double Post!!!!!!!)

SeeMi almost laughed at SeeU who was tring with all her might to ignore the food and act like a lady. "Oh... Well, let's say that I have a history of saving this shop in the finantial department. Jae Min once had this problem with money when he first started this store so I kind of helped him there." he explained. Jae Min and he went pretty far back and when he couldn't pay his debt to the man who he barrowed money from, he had saved him once. So, since then (well, actually even before that) he was generous when it came to SeeMi.

"Well, we better dig in before the food cools or before somebody eats the table!" SeeMi said with a smile on his face. It was funny to see SeeU tring to act as a lady but he didn't want to push her too far and risk makeing her eat the table. "Jal Mug Get Sem Ni Da!!!! (Thanks for the meal!! in korean)" he said.

(SORRY!!!!! I didn't see your post Jayu!!!!!!!!! Sorry!!!!!!!!!!)

Gumi looked at Mato with surprise and happiness. "Oh, you are Mato-chan? Sure, you can have some cake. It's freshly baked, and I made it with lots of carrots and love! (^_^)" Gumi gave a generous slice of cake to Mato. "I'll get you some milk with that cake if you like." Gumi got the milk out of the refrigerator and poured two glasses for her and Mato. "Ahhh, this milk is so refreshing. If you like, you can have some more cake. I think I need to buy more carrots. I'm thinking of cooking carrot soup tonight. (^_^)" Gumi put the milk back and started to clean up her little mess. "So what exactly is, ummm, Black Rock Shooter, Mato-chan?"
