Chapter 5

“The only thing constant is change.” –My algebra teacher in 10th grade

8:35 pm

Queen Anne ship, Ballroom

“What are you doing with Hatsune’s dad?” Luka asked rudely with her arms crossed.

“Well, I can explain that…” Aria thought of any valid excuses and she’s not a good liar in front of her daughter.

“Dad, what are you doing with Megurine’s mom?” Miku asked and stomped towards his father and ripped his mask off his face.

Luki was making a good excuse but he wasn’t exactly good with lying as much as Aria.

“Miku, Luka, I think Rin’s looking for you down stairs.” Rinto informed the girls and attempted to get them downstairs.

“We just met her earlier. She would have told us if she needs something from us.”  Both the girls said at the same time and this made Luki and Aria laugh.

“I told you they would have the same reply for us.” Aria said and laughed even more.

“You’re right.” Luki told her and both of them laughed hysterically like mad men.

“What exactly is happening?” Miku asked and she wasn’t happy.

“Mom?” Luka was curious as much as the tealette is.

“Well, shall we proceed to the deck? We’ll talk there with proper dinner.” Luki stood from his seat.

“Are you sure, Luki?” Rinto and Lenka asked, obviously concerned about the couple.

“Yes. About time they know this and besides, in a week, it’s their turn to be 18.” Luki replied to the blond couple and gave them a nervous smile. Aria stood up from her seat as well and held the hands of the girls.

“Shall we?” The lady pulled them out of the room and went to the deck.

“Dad, what are we exactly going to talk about?” Miku impatiently asked.

“You’ll see, dear.” Aria answered for her husband.

When they found a table by the deck, they sat down and called for a waiter and Luki did the rest. Miku and Luka sat next each other and both of them had cold hands and were confused to the core.

“Miku, Luka, it’s about time you knew the truth because obviously, the society know what you both are and you don’t even know what you both are.” Luki started.

That makes sense. The girls thought and sweat dropped.

“What did you hear in the ballroom earlier?” Aria asked the both of them.

“We heard people whisper that we are siblings, some called us twins. That has to be joke, right?” Luka answered and ended up breaking a nervous sweat.

“What you heard is true. Both of you are sibling and you are twins.” Luki and Aria bluntly said on the face of the girls.

“WHAT?!” Miku and Luka screamed on their faces with shock and banged the table with their hands.

“Why would we lie about it?” The couple chorused.

“You have to be kidding me.” –Luka with her hands covering her face

“Seriously?” –Miku with her eyes as wide as plates

“Please believe us, girls. Everything we are saying is true.” Luki said and a hushed tone.

“Why would we lie to you?” Aria added and held the hand of Luki over the table.

“No, duh? You hid it from me-us for 17 years.” Miku said with her arms and legs crossed and stared-glared at her father.

“We know and we’re sorry. We really are. Please forgive us but because of unexpected events this evening, we have to tell you earlier that we expected we would.” Aria told them and stood up and bowed in front of the girls.

“P-please raise your head, mother.” Luka said and dropped her head at the table’s hard surface. Aria took her seat and looked at her daughter with concern.

“Do you hate us for not telling you? We know you would but we have to tell you this early because both your birthdays are approaching fast.” Luki said and looked at the ocean.

“Tell us what? There are more than us being siblings?” Miku asked and looked at Luka for a moment.

“Yes, but we have to tell you next week, a day before your birthday.” Luki said and sighed.

“Why not now? Is it a bigger one?” Luka made a guess and stared at the man across her who claimed to be her father but left them both for so long.

“Yes and we have to show it to you tonight so keep your guard.” Aria said and took something from her mauve pouch. It’s a throwing knife.

“Woah! What are the knives for?” Miku almost fell at her seat when she was the blade at her ‘mother’s’ hand.

“Well,” She spread the blades at her hand and it looked like a fan of knives. “Let us demonstrate to you.”

Their father stood up and clapped his hands twice and Miku wondered what that was for because he only saw his father do that once when they were in Cairo during a summer vacation and after that she fell unconscious because she hit a light post that was not there.

“I wanna see this.” Luka said and placed her head over her intertwined hands which acted like a stand.

“Well, sit back. This will be quite a show.” Aria stood up and winked at the girls and stood next to Luki.

That was when men in black flooded the place. All of them had guns. And two pointed guns at the heads of Miku and Luka.

“Let’s start the dance, shall we?” Luki asked opened both of his palms and the next action made the girls’ jaws drop on the table. Flames engulfed both his hands

“Bring it on, Megurine.” A man in black, who look bigger than the skinny ones with the guns, challenged and took out two katanas and pointed it to the couple.

“Don’t die in us, mom, dad.” Miku and Luka said in a monotonous voice and just stared in wonder and they were uncertain on how they would actually react on the situation.

“We won’t. Go kick some butts too if you like. We know you both are 5th dan and black belters.” Aria said as she took out another fan of throwing knives from her shoes and it had ice forming on each one of them. She winked to her daughters and turned her head to their opponents.

“Uhm, yeah, we will.” Miku and Luka said after they used the condiments on the table to hit the men pointing guns on their heads and caused them to fall off the ship. Miku and Luka were annoyed with the heavy metal pushing their heads down so they can’t see what their parents were actually doing.

“No more games, Megurine. Hand over the Dragon Heart!” The bulky man shouted before he ran to the couple and started waving the swords around.

“Are you a kid, old man? Stop playing with those blades like they are sticks.” Aria said and laughed. Both of them did nothing but avoid the swords until someone gave a signal to the rest of his crew and started firing bullets at the girls.

“Oh, I at least expected this.” Luka and Miku said at exactly the same time. Before they could even glare at each other’s heads, they had to do summersaults to avoid the bullets.

“Stop copying me every time, Miku!”

“Stop copying me every time, Luka!”

“Girls-“ Luki was holding a blade down his his fire-infested hands when he noticed the girls arguing. While they were arguing, they didn’t even know that they were hitting some of the gunmen and throwing them off board.

“Nevermind.” Luki whispered to himself and concentrated on his own thing.

“Why do you want the Dragon Heart so much?” Aria asked while she was stopping a sword before it sliced her face.

“It will give me power much more than yours, Megurine Aria.” He said and placed more force on pushing the blades down on the couple.

“Shut it!” The twins shouted at each other’s face in a chorused manner and threw the men they were holding at the beefy guy who was trying to slice their parents which made him hit his face on the floor.

Miku and Luka blinked twice and their parents followed.

“Sorry.” They said at the same time with the same apologetic look.

“Stop mimicking what I say!” The girls started fighting again and this time, they were using the gunmen they could pick up and threw it at each other but the other would kick it out of her face and hit the rest behind them.

Luki and Aria was gawking at them with their mouths opened wide.

“We made monsters and not daughters.” They whispered at the same time.

“T-the…D-Dragon…” Someone groaned behind them which made the couple jump but before they could even turn around to see the guy, two gunmen were threw at him and made him unconscious and the twins were at fault.

“You always copy what I say!” –Chorused

“Just stop doing that!” –chorused

“Uhm…”Their parents were impressed but horrified at the same time. “Girls…”

“WHAT?!” Miku and Luka shouted at them which made their parents jump and when the two of them recognized that it was their parents, they apologetically smiled and bowed at Aria and Luki, might I add that they hit a pair of gunmen in front of them using their foreheads and made the gunmen lose their consciousness immediately. “Sorry.” They apologized.

“It’s fine.” Luki said and sweat dropped.

Every move they make they knock out an opponent.

When the girls stood up properly they hit another pair of gunmen at their back and made them fall hard at their bums.

Creepy…

“Dad, who he heck are these guys?” Miku asked when she judo flipped a man like he was a pillow.

“Oh, they are at fault on why we had to separate both of you. They were chasing us because of something we are keeping for almost 17 years.” Aria replied and threw her knives at the whole row of gunmen running toward Luki and her.

“You mean us?” Luka asked and heel dropped a man in front of her before placing her hands over her hips like some diva.

“Well, I can’t really say.” Aria told her and used a chair to whack a pair of gunmen approaching her.

“We have to hurry for the clean-up. Dinner will be served soon.” Luki informed the ladies and they all nodded.

“Well, girls, I’ll leave you there with the rest. I have to touch up my make up.” Aria said and froze a gunman behind Luki before she went to the ladies’ room.

“I can’t believe we have to live like this with our parents. And I still won’t believe that you are my sister though.” Miku said and removed her heels and set it on her chair at the table before she backed up Luka who was having a hard time kicking a man off board.

“Oh, you don’t have to live like my sister. I’m not forcing you and I seriously don’t want you as my sister.” Luka snorted and stepped aside for Miku.

Why do I even know I have to step away when she removes her shoes? I mean, I don’t even know a single thing about her…Oh well, I guess that’s just an instinct.

Luka shrugged off the thought and observed how Miku moved.

“I don’t know why but I think I can finish them off in one blow.” Miku told Luka and Luki, who by the way was sitting comfortably at their table and observing the girls.

“Go on, I won’t encourage you not to.” Luka said and urged her to do so.

Miku closed her eyes and started moving like a dancer with grace (even though she doesn’t know how to dance properly).

Her hair swayed to the ocean’s evening breeze as it blew towards her. Her toes touched and slid over the wooden floor and each step she took left a glowing butterfly like a footprint on the sand. Miku can hear the music in the ball room and this placed her in a more blissful state than she is in.

Little did she know that she was dancing the song to its original ballet steps and she was also chocking the gunmen left on board wherever they were and when Aria saw this she was amazed on how beautiful her daughter looked but terrified for the fact that she can kill men while doing it.

“Just die already.” She whispered and the deck was placed in a bloody mess whit the men’s head bursting literally like a bubble.

When Miku opened her eyes, she was next to Luka’s kneeling body with her eyes filled with tears.

“Seriously? Why are you crying, Megurine? It’s not like I’m dead.” She said and sat up and a massive headache followed.

“You were! You really were dead! For five minutes! I almost thought I made a wrong choice on letting you do that dance!” Luka replied and gave her a hug. Both of them didn’t know why.

“Seriously? Wow. I-what did I do again?” Miku said and pulled Luka away from her.

“You dance the rest of the ‘Swan Lake’ song like you were training for it for your whole life, sweetie.” Aria said and wiped off the tears on her cheeks.

“I can say, thanks to Aria, you woke up after an hour.” Luki told her and gave the girl a warm hug.

“Miku, I’m so sorry I made you dance like that. I really knew something bad would happen to you if you did that but I didn’t stop you. I’m a horrible person.” Luka said and started crying again.

“Megurine, I thought you hate me? Why call me by my first name?” Miku asked and chucked and flicked the forehead of the pinkette. “Anyway, don’t sweat it. Just warn me next time if I’m about to do something stupid, ‘kay?” Miku said and stood up and pulled Luka with her and went to the dining table.

“It’s about time. We had to clean up the mess you did.” The Kagamine twins said and rushed to hug the tealette.

“Sorry for that. Anyway, I’m starving! Where’s the food?” Miku said and made the lot of them have a good laugh.

Woot!~~ There’s a big revelation…

Anyway, there’s more to it on the next chapter soooo please, pretty please, read the whole lot!~

Lots of love!~
