8:00 am

Megurine Manor

Monday

“Get up or you’ll be late, sweetie.”  Aria called out to Luka sweetly but the pinkette snuggled herself to bed.

“Luka, dear, wake up. It’s already eight in the morning.” Aria said and slightly shook her daughter up and when Luka found out the time, she shot up from bed and looked at her mother.

“Crap. I am late.” She said and ran to the bathroom to wash her face, brush her sparkly white teeth and change to her uniform before she grabbed her bag and keys from a butler waiting at the elevator doors and hopped in her cherry red convertible Porsche and drove to school.

“Have a good day honey!~” Aria said by the doors of the manor while waving goodbye to her daughter.

After driving to school with her tousled long pink hair, she fixed her hair in a messed up bun and rushed to class.

Unfortunately, their first period in the morning was math and she was not really that good with math.

“Miss Megurine, Please take your seat.” Their instructor said and she promptly apologized to him before she did and pulled to her notes from her bag.

I am so off this morning. I never became so late like this. She sighed in her own desk and started taking down notes.

Miku as well came in class late.

“Sorry! I had a really hard time waking up because I had to answer so many calls last night from the agency.” She said and went to her seat.

“It’s fine, Miss Hatsune. It’s only once in a while that you come in class so late like this” Their history teacher told her and marked her in the attendance record.

Damn that! I couldn’t sleep yesterday… She thought and started writing down in her notebook.

That day at lunch, Miku and Luka met at a really unexpected place: at the school’s rooftop.

Miku was leaning at the fence when Luka entered the rooftop with a bag filled with sweets and her favorite drinks that she hoped to enjoy all to herself.

“Hey, Hatsune, why are you here? I heard you came in late this morning?” Luka said and joined her by the fence.

“Yeah, I did and I see that you did as well.” Miku sat down next to Luka and stole a bottle of iced tea at Luka’s bag of food.

“How did you know that? And can you please stop stealing my food when I go here?” Luka replied and tossed Miku a tuna sandwich.

“I know you wouldn’t give me so I steal it. Besides, I heard the thing around the class during free period.” Miku said and opened the bottled drink and took in a few gulps.

“You didn’t even try doing that before, did you? Besides, if you were nice enough to me, I would have given you a boxed lunch from the lunch room.” Luka made her point and opened her bag of chips and munched in a few before noticing how surprised Miku was.

“Really?” Miku asked with her eyes sparkling.

“Yeah.”

“O.M.F.G.” Miku mouthed. “I thought you were a cold, heartless girl.” Miku covered her mouth when she said that.

“Ouch. I’m also a human being. I soften up sometimes, ‘kay?” Luka said and continued eating her bag of chips.

“Did someone hit you with a wrecking ball this morning? I think you are becoming an angel. What happened?” Miku could not believe how nice the pinkette was treating her that afternoon.

“Well, I’m not really all bad like you think I am.” Luka said and teasingly punched the arm of the tealette.

“I think I’m going to die now.” Miku acted a fainting scene before she fell to the floor like a drama queen and sat right up again after a second or two.

“Just eat.” Luka said and removed her bun and let loose her still-messed-up-but-now-slightly-curled hair and it hit the floor.

“Wow. I didn’t know you style your hair like that.” Miku said and held back her laughter.

“I don’t. I didn’t have time to fix my hair in the morning.” Luka said and checked her pockets if she brought her comb with her but Miku bursted out laughing because the pinkette ended up finding nothing in her pockets.

“Oh, don’t worry, I’ll fix that for you.” Miku crawled to the back of Luka and started combing her hair from the bottom. “Just to warn you, I have hair fetishes.” She added.

“Eww. Get away from me.” Luka said monotonously and gathered her hair at one side. Miku chuckled.

“Just kidding, but sometimes I do.” Miku said and got Luka’s hair and started combing it from the bottom using her fingers.

After a moment of silence and combing hair, Miku started talking again.

“Say, do you really believe them that we’re siblings?” Miku asked Luka and started braiding her hair.

“Yeah. I checked out our record in our birth certificates and found out that we really are siblings. Is that why you didn’t sleep properly last night, Miku?” Luka replied and turned to the tealette.

“Yes. And it got worse when I remembered that you loved coffee and you influenced me to chuck down several cups of coffee every night instead of milk to help me sleep.” She said and smiled and finished tying the hair of Luka using her ribbon that held up one of her pigtails.

“Well, sorry for the love of coffee.” Luka turned to her hard-to-accept sibling and started furrowing her eye brows when she saw her hair.

“Yeah, anyway…” She said and took down her other pigtail and fixed her hair in a braid similar to the pinkette. “What time is it again?”

“About twelve thirty, why?” Luka replied and looked at Miku.

She’s really pretty with the braid. Luka perished the thought out of her mind and looked at Miku.

“Well, I want to show you something.” Miku took out a folded piece of paper from her pocket and gave it to Luka.

“I translated half of it but I don’t know the other half.” Miku said.

Luka unfolded the paper which was crispy and old to her touch.

“Th-this is old Latin! This should be easy for you since you have a Latin class, right?” Luka told her.

“That’s the thing. I don’t listen to it because I fall asleep half-way to the finish.” Miku told her and scratched her head.

Luka took a minute or two to read the whole thing but she finally translated the whole thing.

“It says here: ‘The four Dragon hearts are passed on to twins and can be fully activated upon the 18th celebration of their birth. Once the vessel hits this age, he or she will undergo drastic changes that will permanently change their fate. The hearts possess the strongest powers known to mankind since its existence: The four greatest elements, words, time, and imagination and thoughts. The possession of one can destroy the whole world.’” Luka paused and took a breather.

“That sounds worse that I thought they were. Do you think we have those?” Miku asked and looked at fearfully at her twin.

“We’ll find out soon enough.” Luka assured her and fixed up before the bell rang for the start of the afternoon classes.
