Hey everybody

This is my first story on FanFiction, I have never written anything like this before, but after reading all the MikuxLuka stories on here I decided to write one of my own.

This hasn't been beta read or anything and I probably only do 2 or 3 chapter, maybe more if it gets some positive reviews, but seeing as it my first try, I'm not expecting many.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, including Vocaloids.

The sound of her alarm slowly coaxed the pink haired student out of her peaceful slumber; she quickly silenced the machine and groggily pulled herself out of bed and into the bathroom.

"What a mess." Luka mumbled to herself. She had glanced over to the mirror, only to see that her normally flowing pink hair was an absolute mess, like a crazy birds nest. She sighed and took off her pyjamas, and quickly slipped into the shower.

Luka stepped out of the shower and hurriedly wrapped a towel around her to cover her generously proportioned body; she did this because she was nervous about anyone caching a glimpse through the small window in her bathroom, but mainly because she was a very self conscious person. She knew that she was very attractive, but she just didn't feel attractive; this she attributed to Miku and her band of bullies at school. Every day they berated her and made her feel next to worthless, as a result she had very few friends and a cold, disconnected personality.

"Miku." Luka quietly seethed. "You are the source of all my problems." She whispered at a barely audible level.

Luka looked at the clock and released that she had spent ten minutes thinking about Miku, her hair was still wet, she hadn't made her bed, eaten or brushed her teeth and she needed to leave in fifteen minutes.

"Yet another problem caused by that god dammed Miku." Luka shouted, clearly frustrated at the situation

Luka had to dry her hair hastily with a towel instead of blow-drying it like she normally would, as a result her hair didn't look much better than when she had woken up, but at least it was no longer greasy. Luka fumbled with her uniform, completely oblivious that she had put odd socks on, grabbed her school bag and rushed downstairs, completely ignoring the messy bed and the fact that she hadn't brushed her teeth.

Luka was running at a furious pace, while trying to scarf down a poorly prepared slice of extremely dry toast.

"I can't be late, not again." Luka mumbled incoherently.

The combined actions of running, eating and talking caused her to choke on a large piece of toast, luckily Luka's best friend Miki showed up at just the right time.

"Umm, Luka, are you okay?" Miki asked innocently

"No, im chok." Luka managed to splutter out.

"Luka, I can't understand you." Miki replied, her ahoge forming the shape of a question mark.

"Toast…throat…choking." Luka coughed out while incoherently gesturing at her throat.

It took a few second for the pieces to fall into place in Miki's brain, she eventually realised what her friend had been trying to say, and quickly administered the Heimlich maneuver.

"Thanks Miki, I don't know what could have happened if you didn't show up." Luka said between deep breaths.

"Don't mention it, that's what best friends are for, right?" Miki asked.

"Well thanks again, but don't you think we should be getting to class, I don't want to be late?" Luka questioned.

"Yeah sure, let's go." Miki said playfully.

The duo quickly ran towards the school and arrived at the two large front doors where they were greeted by Miku, Gumi and Lily. This was Luka's nightmare.

"Well look who it is, Luka and Miki, why are you two so late?" asked Miku, her voice dripping with condescension and mischief.

"Umm" Miki said nervously as she stepped forward. "Luka was chocking, and I had to stop to help her and…"

"Shut up Miki, I wasn't asking you, I was asking Luka." Miku said bitterly. "Now run along to class, so me and Luka can have our own little discussion" she said with a false sweetness.

Miki ran past the three girls, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Hey, you shouldn't have done that to Miki, leave her out of this!" Luka shouted "Why do you torment her, I'm the one you want, not her." said Luka, in a slightly lower volume than before.

"Because you get so worked up about it, and I love to see you squirm." Miku said triumphantly.

"Well just leave her out of it from now on." Luka said, trying to sound forceful. "I won't have you…"

"That's enough Luka, it doesn't matter what you want, because I call the shots around here, and you don't!" Miku shouted triumphantly, silencing the older girl immediately. "Don't tell me I have to remind you, I would have thought that you knew this already." Miku said smugly.

"Yes Miku, sorry Miku." Luka said gloomily, with a crestfallen expression plastered on her face. "It won't happen again Miku."

"That's better, the Luka we all know and love, gloomy and depressed, the way it should be. Miku said with a smile creeping on to her face. "Oh, that reminds me, we haven't done our little ritual yet, have we?" Miku asked, now with a large smile across her face.

"Do we have to, I'm gonna be late for class, can we just do it at break time?" Luka pleaded

"NO! We're doing it now." Miku erupted.

"But Miku I'll be late, please" begged Luka.

"I DON'T CARE! Stop answering back and just get on with it, step one quickly." Said a furious Miku.

"Ok, sorry, Umm your hair looks nice, I like what you have done with it, it really suits you." Luka said with fake gusto, she was looking at the beautiful teal twintails, she slowly moved her eyes from the eyes and fixated on Miku's eyes. Miku quickly noticed this and became flustered.

Luka knew that she would be disciplined for doing this, but it was worth it, it was one of the only things that Luka could do to shake Miku, she loved turning the tables on the younger girl every now and again, it gave her hope and enough energy to get through the day, but she also did it for another reason, she wasn't really sure why, but Luka loved to look deep within the deep teal orbs, she felt like she was seeing the real Miku, not the front that Miku usually displayed. Luka liked the real Miku, and wished that she could get to know her, because the truth is, she loved Miku.

It was strange, she should have felt nothing but hate and anger towards her tormentor, but it was completely the opposite, ever since she transferred to Miku's school a few months ago, and saw Miku for the first time, she had felt these feelings. What upset Luka the most was not that she was bullied every day of her life by her or the fact that she was a nobody in this town due do Miku, it was the fact that she could never tell her true feelings to Miku because she knew they were never going to be reciprocated. The only respite to this was step 3 of Miku's ritual, step 3 kept her going and helped keep her feelings for Miku strong, and step 3 was one of the things that Luka looked forward to when she wakes up every morning.

Luka was dragged out of her thoughts by the shrill screams of Miku, scolding her for not obeying the rules of step 2.

"I told you never to do that again!" Miku screamed. "you know that is a violation of step two, and yet you continue to break it."

"Sorry Miku, I forgot." Lied Luka. "I won't do I again, I promise."

"Good, now look down at my feet and don't let me catch you doing that again." Miku said in a much calmer tone. "All that remains is step three, correct?" asked Miku.

"Yeah, I umm… I." Luka stuttered nervously.

"C'mon, spit it out we don't have all day you know." Said an impatient Miku.

"I love you Miku." Luka said quietly, but with a lot of soul behind her words.

"Umm, thank you Luka" Miku said gingerly, while blushing ever so slightly. "Now get out of here, before I change my mind about Gumi's request to maul you in the parking lot after school." Miku said before regaining her composure.

"Bye Miku, Gumi, Lily" she said hurriedly before running off to class.

Miku watched as the pink haired girl sped off and turned a corner, letting out a small sigh of relief. Miku never usually lost her composure during her morning ritual with Luka, but the double whammy of the deep stare and the meaningfulness of Luka's "I love you" really got to her. Luka knocked her guard down with the loving stare, and then punched her right in the exposed heart with the meaningful "I love you".

The truth was that Miku had developed a crush on her pink haired senpai, what started off as just bullying and degradation had evolved over the months that she knew Luka into a burning crush for her tormentee. Step three was originally designed to humiliate Luka, by making her seem like a lesbian in front of the whole school, but now it was a support mechanism for Miku, she longed to hear the three words come out of Lukas mouth from the moment she wakes up; she just wished that the meaning behind the world was true. She wished she could tell her feelings to Luka, but then she would become the laughing stock of the whole school. She knew she was in quite a pickle.

Miku was snapped out of her thoughts when her friend Lily asked her a seemingly innocent question.

"Why do you make Luka do that last step, it's a bit strange don't you think." Lily asked.

"It's not strange, it's necessary, we need to keep her spirits low, so we can stay popular!" shouted Miku. "If we let up on the torment for even a week, she will become self confident and eventually popular, it's a wonder she isn't popular already, she's so smart and talented, and not to mention beautiful…"

Miku quickly stopped because she realised what she had just said, her faced quickly turned as red as a tomato, and she stormed off to her classroom, leaving Gumi and Lily behind, both with confused looks on their faces.

"Weird" they said in unison. "I wonder what's bugging her." Lily remarked.

"Who knows?" Gumi said sharply. "I've gotta get to class, see ya."

"Oh right, see ya." Lily responded quickly.

With that they both walked off to their respective classrooms, wondering what had caused they normally cool as a cucumber Miku, to turn into a red faced tomato.
