I've had some people ask me if I got this idea from the movie, "The Bucket List". The answer is no. I did not get this idea from the movie. After noticing the similarity, I was going to drop this story but I thought it was a waste so I went ahead and published this fanfic. But I'll be honest and tell you that one of the wishes from Miku's list of wishes is from the movie. It's the "kissing the most beautifulest person in the world" wish. Before this fanfiction got published, I needed one more wish for Miku and when I saw that list from Wikipedia, I decided to use it because I thought of an idea.

Let's start chapter 9! Go go go!

"Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything." – Muhammad Ali

Wish #9

I've always liked everything about you.

The way you move, talk, and the way you smile….

I loved it.

I'll be honest and admit I've even had a little crush on you.

I knew it sounded childish so I kept it hidden all these years. But now… I can't keep it bottled up anymore. I want to tell you what I learned from you.

"Uh..." I forced my hand to extend and grab her slim arm. Her curled hair tied up into a high ponytail slapped lightly against my nose as she turned around, startled, when she felt my hand make contact with her pale arms.

"Can I help you?" she asked, her light purple eyes eyeing my teal eyes.

When it comes to you, I get frustrated. I get frustrated because no matter how hard I try, I can't find you.

"Are you okay?" she asked in a child-like voice, starting to look slightly unsure what to do.

I nodded meekly and let go of her, ignoring a sudden pain in my legs. "I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else."

"Mee!" another child-like voice called from far away. The girl in front of me turned around to face the owner of the voice.

"Aw!" she waved, smiling a bright smile.

I watched like a third wheel as a look alike of the girl in front of me ran over to us, smiling the same smile as girl with pink hair. Without another word, they joined hands and skipped away to their destination leaving me alone. I watched them go as I stood in the middle of the crosswalk ignoring the time. I was so tired that I accidently let out a tiring sigh without me knowing and reached for the cell phone in my pocket to call Gumi.

I heard you were engaged to someone.

At first, I felt jealousy pouring inside me as I remember that day when I punched a wall out of frustration. I remember the broken skin peeling off my bruised knuckles as I sat on my bed feeling scared.

I wanted to beat the lucky man for taking you away from me.

Do you know why I chose not to? It's because I didn't want you to be sad.

I didn't want to turn your smile upside down.

And on that day, you left me.

"The bride is coming out."

I stood up from the Victorian chair as the lady dressed formally opened the curtain, revealing a girl wearing a long, white dress.

The girl in the white is Gumi. Today is the day she's getting married.

"Miku," she said, checking herself from a mirror nearby. "Do you think this dress makes me look fat?"

"Of course not." I snorted. "You look perfect."

I just surprised myself. I was being honest.

I've never seen her dressed like this. She's pretty the way she is but the wedding gown made her look beautiful.

Gumi sighed. "Mew, is there any other dresses around here? I…I don't feel right. My stomach area looks like it's about to explode."

"Miss," the woman with black hair answered politely. "I think you look marvelous."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Gumi sighed again but this time, it was filled with relief. She waved to the woman to leave us in the dressing room alone. When we were together, Gumi grabbed my hands and looked at me with a warm smile. I couldn't help but smile along with her.

"You look pretty." I said, brushing away a loose strand of her hair away from her clear face. "Do you want me to get your parents? Your mom would be happy to see you all dressed up."

"Thanks, and no." Gumi replied. She held my hands tighter and looked at me with pleading eyes. "Look," she said. "I know the whole marriage thing caught you by surprise and I want to apologize for that. I'm really—"

"What are you talking about?" I chuckled, cutting her off. "I'm happy! I'm glad I can see you on your big day."

"Miku, can you promise me something?" she asked me. Her words caught me by surprise and I saw her face turn serious as every second passed by.

"Of course. What is it?"

"I know you're not feeling well and I know you're still sad about…them. So promise me you'll go if you don't feel well."

"What are you talking about?" I scoffed, pretending to look offended. "You don't want to see me watching you and Gakupoop on your big day?"

"His name is Gakupo," she corrected with a scowl.

"Whatever."

"Are you sure you're alright?" she asked me again with more concern.

I waved at her and smiled. "Don't worry about me. I'm feeling fine."

"You look skinner. You're not on a diet or anything, are you?"

I viewed myself at a nearby mirror and forced myself to stay calm when I saw my reflection. My body seemed smaller in the dress I borrowed from Gumi. Is it supposed to be a good thing? No. That's not supposed to happen. I'm not on a diet or anything. We're the same size. I should fit perfectly in her clothes instead of looking like a girl wearing clothes too big for her.

"I noticed you don't eat as much as you used to," she said. "Are you sure you're alright?"

"The wedding's going to start soon." I said, ignoring her question. "The bride can't be late. I'm going to be standing near the exit so you don't have to look for me." Without another word, I peeled myself away from her and went to the service room looking like a mess.

I've never been to a wedding in my life. The only weddings I've seen are the ones from T.V. or pictures I see in books and magazines. I made my way into the service room where the wedding was held. I found the whole Megpoid family already sitting in the front row patiently waiting for the wedding to start. Mrs. Megpoid was staring in awe at all the beautiful decorations around the room, Mr. Megpoid was getting the camera ready, ignoring Gumo telling him useless facts like always. I kept my word and stood next to the exit waiting for the event to start until I felt a masculine hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see a tall man in a black tux looking at me - looking a bit uneasy.

"Can I help you?" I asked him, digging into my memory to remember if I know him.

"Excuse me," he said. "Please forgive me if I am wrong. Are you by any chance, Miku?"

"Yes," I answered, eyeing him suspiciously. "Do I know you?"

He laughed and held out a hand. "Pleased to meet you. I am Gakupo Kamui. Gumi's fiancé."

I shook his hand and but didn't laugh along. "I heard you're a samurai?"

"Yes," he answered, tilting his head a little to show his long purple hair tied up into a ponytail. "I am."

I still have no idea how Gumi fell in love with him.

"I'm surprised you agreed to do a western style wedding." I admitted. "I thought you guys were going to do a traditional wedding since, well, you're a samurai."

Gakupoop—oops, I mean, Gakupo chuckled and gave me a sly grin. "This is what Gumi wanted. If it makes her happy, I'll gladly accept it."

I couldn't help but snort out a laugh when he said that. I half-expected him to say how disappointed he was in the beginning or blah blah blah. I guess he's not that bad at all.

"Gumi told me a lot about you," he said. "She is very attracted to you."

"Look," I said, giving him my most serious face I could muster up. "If you do anything—and I mean it—anything bad to Gumi, I'll kick your butt and make you pay."

He chuckled and winked at me. "Well, Miss. Miku, I give you my permission to kick my butt if I do any harm to my lovely soon-to-be wife."

I smiled as he excused himself to go do some final arrangements.

After a while, the piano started and everything changed like magic. A small flower girl started walking down the aisle throwing light-colored flower petals all around her. Soon, Gakupo and Gumi walked down the aisle as the guests started to clap politely. I noticed bright flashes filling the room and I knew what it was. Mr. Megpoid was using his camera to take lots of pictures. By lots, I mean a lot. The couple made their way to the front and faced the pastor standing behind his small desk. He grinned looking at the couple and started to say the vows they needed to repeat. Everything was perfect. It was so perfect that I didn't want anything to spoil the good mood. Gumi looked beautiful in her dress as she faced Gakupo and said her part of the vow. From time to time, I knew she was trying her best to get a glimpse of me to see if I was doing alright. The ring exchange came and I saw Mrs. Megpoid dabbing her eyes with a tissue, trying not to get her make-up ruined in the process. When Gumi reached out to let him put the gold band on her ring finger, I felt a knot form inside my body. It hurt a little but not a lot. For some strange reason, it suddenly grew so painful that I couldn't hold it in when it was Gakupo's turn to receive the ring. I reached for the door handle and left the room, silently crying to myself.

I could feel everything.

The vibration of the footsteps; the silent cries of objects wanting to be bought; the lights keeping the darkness away. I can feel everything.

Where am I?

The teddy bear store.

Why am I here?

I wanted to come here to finish another wish. It's not exactly a museum but it's almost the same. It's a store filled with stuffed bears.

I didn't feel ashamed ditching the wedding as I touched a furry bear on a random shelf. For me, the button eyes of every bear looked the same. They look like they want to be bought and taken to their new home to be loved. The pain in my body was crazy. It starts to hurt for a while then it cools down for a second, but it doesn't completely go away. It starts to hurt more and more. The cycle continues so the pain didn't go away.

"Miss," a saleswoman came near me, smiling. "Is there anything you are looking for?"

"No."

"You seem to be quite interested in that bear." She said, pointing to the plushy I was looking at.

"I'm fine." I replied and turned around to go look at another bear.

I've never seen a store filled with so many different varieties of stuffed bears. When I saw little children coming in with their guardian and buying a bear they want, I didn't show it but I felt embarrassed. I just realized I didn't bring any money with me. So…what do I do? Simple. Just leave the store.

My feet walked endlessly on its own for a while I tried to think of a way to control the pain. I saw people staring at me after looking at the expression of my face. A sharp sting in my back and the side of my stomach pained me and I knew I couldn't hold it in any longer. I screamed. It hurt so much that I screamed in the middle of the street.

I was tired of everything.

My knees made contact to the floor as I crouched down not caring if people started to panic around me as they stopped to stare at me. I screamed again, my hands on my stomach until I felt a big hand touch my arm.

"Stop!" I screamed, flailing my arms around me.

"Stay calm!" a sound of a musical voice ordered.

I froze for a second before looking up at the person. "Kaito?" For a second, I felt hope. I thought it was him, but it wasn't. It was a look alike of him. Part of me wanted to complain but I couldn't get the strength to say anything. The only thing I'm able to do is scream from the pain.

"Does it hurt?" he wanted to know.

"Does it look like it doesn't hurt?" I screamed.

"Let me help you." He murmured and picked me up in a bridal style. I let him carry me without a word thinking he was going to take me to a hospital, but boy, I was wrong. After running around, we arrived at an apartment and the man started knocking on the gate repeatedly. That was when my mind started to panic. Why did he bring me here? Where am I? Is he going to do something to me?

"W-wait!" I shouted. "I'm f-fine! Let me go!"

"But you're—"

"I said I'm fine!" I struggled to get myself free at the same time the gate opened to reveal a new face.

"Kuro, did you remember to buy the-" the man who opened the gate stopped and looked at me as I stood there frozen solid. He pulled his pink bangs out of his eyes to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. I never knew my life was filled with so much drama. The mess never seemed to stop.

"Miku?" he almost shouted when he saw me.

"Luki?" I couldn't help but shout back. I wanted to say more but I ended up screaming.

"Kuro," Luki turned to look at the guy who carried me here.

"She's hurt!" the man replied, starting to carry me again and drag me inside the small apartment. "Go get the ice from the freezer! Hurry!" Without another word, Luki nodded and went to do his errand. He left muttering something about twice a week as the guy—who I guess is Kuro—laid me down on a couch as I rolled around in pain. It felt like forever until Luki brought back a bag full of ice and placed it on my stomach.

"Keep it there for a while," he ordered. "Lay down for a while and the pain will stop."

"Luki," Kuro turned around.

"Luki!" a voice of a child called from another room. "I'm bored!" I saw a door in the hall slowly open as two little children, a girl and a boy, stepped out of the room holding hands with a tall person following behind. The tall man was…

"Kaito?" I shrieked, my face blanching.

The blue haired idiot turned at my direction and his mouth dropped open but he didn't look surprised like I was. "Oh, Shorty," he said. "It's you."

It's you?

Are you kidding me? Is that all he had to say? A simple, 'It's you?'

"Meiko, Lui," Kuro stepped aside to hug the kids when they reunited with him.

Meiko? Lui? What the heck is going on here?

"Luki," I turned to Luki for answers but he groaned and shook his head in frustration. He turned to Kuro and said, "You need to stop this. This is the second time since you came to Japan."

"But they're hurt." The black haired man responded, his eyes filled with emotion. "What else was I supposed to do?" he argued.

"Take them to the hospital!" Luki answered. "Our house isn't a place where people can just come and go!"

"But—"

"Think," Luki breathed.

"Luka would have wanted to help them."

I stopped breathing for a second. "Luki," I breathed, looking at Kuro's face. "Where's Luka?"

"Miku," Luki sighed. "You're tired. You should rest."

"Where is she?" I demanded to know. My hands curled up into tiny fists as I gritted my teeth together. "You," I pointed to Kuro. "You're her husband, right? Luka should be here! Where is she?"

"Miku—"

"Someone answer me!"

"She…" Kuro looked down at the floor, covering Meiko's ears with both hands as Kaito did the same to Lui. "She died."

"Miku." Luki reached to grab me but I pulled away.

"She died." Kuro said again, looking as if her death was his fault. "She died giving birth."

The day I wanted to tell you everything, you left.

You left to get married overseas.

When I thought I would finally reunite with you, I learned that you died.

I watched the two kids tug on Kuro's pants, demanding for attention. Shaking, I reached out to grab the boy and turned him around to face me. His hair and eyes are pure black like his dad. His baby smooth skin was shining as if he just finished taking a bath. He was a child version of Kuro. The boy smacked my hand away so I grabbed the girl who was still tugging on Kuro's pants. She let out a cute little gasp when I turned her around.

She scared me.

The girl was a miniature version of you. Her hair and eyes are black like Kuro's but her face looked like you.

The girl resembles you, a lot.

I don't know what happened to me after that. Without me knowing, I ran outside.

"Miku!"

Hey, do you think I'm a coward?

The place I ended up coming was the beach. My lungs started to hurt so I had no choice but to sit down on the sand. I sat for a long time without a sound until I heard footsteps approaching and the sound of someone sitting behind me on the sand.

"Mind if I join?" the voice asked. It was a voice I knew very well. Kaito. It's Kaito.

Why would he bother asking if he already joined?

"You know that guy?" Kaito said to me.

"Who? Luki or Kuro?" I breathed. "Why do you want to know?"

I didn't need to turn around to see what Kaito was doing. I've been with him for a long time to know the answer without having to see. He was thinking about it and shrugged, changing the topic. "Do you like the names I gave the kids?"

"You mean Meiko and Lui?"

"They only had American names. Kuro wanted to give them Japanese names so I offered some and he thought they were good."

"You named them after people."

"Dead people. But they're nice names. Don't you think I did well?"

Instead of answering like a good girl, I growled and questioned him, shivering from anger. "What were you doing in their house? I was worried sick about you when I came to your room and saw you disappeared!"

"…I woke up. I needed to move around a bit so I went outside and then…Kuro found me."

I turned around to look at him and shouted, "If you woke up, you should have tried to find me!"

"I tried."

"Never mind. You're sick. You should be in the hospital getting treated and—"

"How was the concert?" Kaito interrupted.

"Huh?"

"In my dream," he shifted. "I was…everywhere. One time, I heard your voice. You were telling me stuff. I heard the sound of pianos and you were…singing."

"You heard me?"

"Yeah."

"You know," I said, wiping away a tear before it got a chance to leave my eye. I didn't want to talk about the concert. "You're right." I continued. "Maybe doing the wishes were stupid and a waste of time."

"No, it's not. It's not a waste of time at all. It was…fun."

I rolled my eyes.

"Who is she?" he asked, curious. "That Luka girl."

"Her full name's Luka Megurine. If you didn't already know, she's Luki's sister. Luka..."

I first met you when I was three.

I don't know how we met but I remember you were by my side all the time. When I was with you, everything was perfect. You were by my side to aid me when I was parentless. When you left for America, everything started coming apart.

I was mad.

I was mad at you for not telling me you were leaving. I was mad because I didn't get a chance to say goodbye.

"…I wanted to find her when I heard she came back. I…I wanted to see her again and say hello."

Kaito sat next to me listening to my story without a single complaint. When I couldn't talk any longer, he said, "You're a lucky girl."

"Huh?"

"Didn't you ever think about how she felt? She taught you to not be alone and made you loved. She taught you how good it is to have friends. I think what she would've wanted you to do is live without worrying about her. She must've not wanted to hear you crying. She wanted you to be happy."

I stayed silent the whole time he talked. Maybe he's right. Maybe she does want me to be happy.

For a second, I wanted to forgive you.

I thought about it for a moment and then breathed out a loud sigh. Standing up, I smiled and announced, "Let's go back."

Kaito shook his head.

My smile turned upside down when he did that. "Why..." I stopped when I my eyes caught sight of something. Next to Kaito, blood was everywhere. It was trailing behind him.

Blood.

"You need to go to the hospital!" I shouted, tugging on the sleeve of his clothes. "No, wait here," I let go of him for a second but his hand grabbed mine and held me back.

"No," he whispered.

"Don't be so stubborn!" I shouted. "You'll die like this if we don't do anything!"

"It's time," he said. "I want to stay like this."

"But then you'll..."

"My disease," he said, his hand holding onto mine even tighter, "isn't curable."

"No way!"

"I wouldn't have made this journey without you." He began, looking past me. "I was always reading books or talking to whoever passed by. I never went anywhere. The truth is, I can't walk."

"What do you mean you can't walk?" I wailed. "You walked all the way here!"

"Do you remember a time when I walked right next to you?"

I thought for a moment trying to regain the lost memories. Now that I think about it, Kaito never walked besides me. He was always…

"I was always behind. I didn't walk next to you because I didn't want to be a burden. The whole time, I was forcing myself to move." He started laughing. "I didn't want us to stop. Aren't I a burden?"

Kaito looked like he's slowly getting spereated from me. What's weird is that we're not moving at all.

"No, you're not." I started. I was thinking about trying to convince him that he wouldn't die until I thought of something else. "Wait right here." I ordered. When he gave me a confused look, I grinned and ran over to a nearby drinking stall. I crouched to the ground and peeked under the machine as I reached my hand inside. Just by luck, I felt something round and grabbed it and pulled it out. It was enough to purchase a mini bottle of water. The coin slipped into the machine and I pressed the button for my order. Once it came down, I grabbed it and practically ran back to where Kaito was lying down. "Get up," I ordered, opening the bottle. "Here," I said, pouring little drops of liquid into the cap. "Drink it."

He gave me a confused look.

I held up the cap full of water at him and continued grinning. "It's the most expensive sake in the world."

Kaito looked at me with the same look but a second later, he got it. He started laughing when he realized what I was talking about and grabbed for the cap and drank it.

"How is it?" I asked teasingly.

"Tastes like water," he replied.

We laughed until it got quiet again.

"Hey, Kaito?" I spoke first. "Was your wishes for Meiko?"

Kaito didn't reply right away. He stayed silent for a long time before nodding. "It was originally hers. She never got a chance to finish it."

"How did you meet her?"

He shrugged. "At the hospital. She's the same as you. Loud, spoiled, and crazy."

"Hey!" I said sternly.

"Meiko," he began, "was the same as you. She had the same idea of doing the list, but at that time, I didn't want to do anything. She called me lazy and said I should do something while I still could. She knew I couldn't walk but she still told me to do it. After she died, I felt guilty," he whispered. "You know, she died too soon."

"Oh…"

"Thank you," he whispered. I sat there surprised, wondering for a second if this was the Kaito I knew from before. When I looked at his eyes, I knew it was him and not someone else. We both didn't say anything and watched the ocean move back and forth for a while. Without me knowing, I took out his crumpled paper from his pocket and slowly opened it to see the rest of his wishes. When I did, I frowned, but it soon turned back into a smile and I started to laugh. Kaito was never a person who follows the rules. He chose to do things how he wanted without a care in the world. Kaito didn't write anything in number six through nine, but his last wish made me smile. I finally knew why he thanked me.

I grinned and whispered in his ear, "You're welcome."

On the very bottom of the paper, he wrote:

- Go on a crazy adventure

I watched him smile and leaned next to him to kiss his forehead. He grunted while I laughed at his expression and we looked at the sky for a long time. Then it hit me, I started to wonder how Luka was doing up there, but if you think about it for a second, I think she's doing fine. She's up there looking at us and probably smiling at me. I wanted to say something to Kaito so I turned to tell him, but before I knew it, Kaito joined her too.

WISH #10: Find her. - Don't need to. She's watching me the whole time.

Ta-da! I finished! Aren't you proud of me?

Before you start bashing on me about not doing some of the wishes, let me fill you in on everything the past few days. Most of you must be wondering what happened after Kaito died, right? Well, I'll answer that question for you. We ended up attending Kaito's funeral and all those other death-related stuff. You remember my ninth wish, right? Probably not. It's the one where I wanted to wear a wedding dress. Believe it or not, I actually got to wear one. Kuro saved Luka's wedding dress and let me try it on. The dress would've fitted perfectly if I was taller and if the chest area was a bit smaller, but I didn't care. I looked beautiful in it. As a result, I finished my list of wishes.

By the way, aren't you curious how I'm living these days?

Well…one thing for sure is I'm still alive.

I'm still living as a strong girl.

As a reward, Luki decided to take us all to the beach and have a picnic there with everyone. Of course, Gumi and Gakupo joined us. I'm still trying to get used to having Gakupo around but hey, I'm trying. He's actually not that bad once you get to know him.

We ate, talked, played games and so on. Before we all knew, it turned dark and Kuro took the kids home to tuck them to sleep. Gumi joined him because she was attached to the kids and Gakupo joined her because…well…he's married to her. Duh.

"Hey, Miku." Luki called as he placed a pair of chopsticks inside his picnic basket. "What are you thinking about?"

I stared at him and grinned as the sky continued to turn darker and the winds were starting to blow pretty hard. "Nothing~"

"…I worry when you smile."

I stuck my tongue at him.

"Seriously," he said. "What were you thinking about?"

I grinned again as I stood up from the sand. "I was just thinking about how much I want to sleep."

"That's nice."

"Hey, Luki?"

"Hm?"

"I decided what I'm going to dream about tonight. Want to know?"

He rolled his eyes but answered anyway. "Dream about what?"

I grinned. "I'm going to think of a happy dream with everyone in it. It's going to be a wonderful dream."

And… that's the end!

I wanted that guy from the PV of "Just Be Friends" and Luka to have a happy ending so I made them get married. I named him Kuro because his hair is black and "kuro" means black in Japanese.

I hope everyone enjoyed reading this! Thank you for finishing my story! :)
