Disclaimer: Do not own Vocaloid.

Notes: It's short. I know. Please review at the end though, because this story was voted by 4 people on my poll so I updated it. :/

Kagamine Rin ran through the streets barefoot, trying to outrun the two men chasing her. She held on to the two bags of bread for dear life, as if they were the only thing left precious to her.

Of course, her family was also important to her, which was why she had stolen the bread. After the UTAUloids had taken over, they basically kicked the Vocaloids onto the streets and made them into normal humans, which meant taking away the one thing that made them Vocaloids.

Their singing voices.

Rin panted, hiding in the shadows as the two men stopped, looking frantically around. They had lost the girl. They cursed to themselves and started to walk back. Rin dusted the dust off of her legs and began to sneakily make her way back to her 'home'.

"I'm home," Rin said in the new voice she had, which was too nasally and too high to her liking. Her arrival caused Megurine Luka to look up, smiling sadly at the blond.

"Welcome back," Luka murmured. Her luster of pink hair was now matted with tangles and dirt and lost it's beautiful shine. Her mature and calming voice was replaced with a voice that sounded very aged.

"How's...Yuki doing?" Rin asked hesitantly, placing the sacks on the floor.

"She could be better," Luka said honestly, slumping back to the ground. "I-I've tried everything...but she's just a child! I don't know how long she will last..."

Rin grit her teeth, clenching her fists at her sides. "Those damned UTAUs. We gave them a roof to live under. We never treated them so badly!"

"Hnn. They don't seem to think so," Utatane Piko commented dryly, in his squeaky and distorted voice.

"I know. They're just idiots," Rin spat, leaning against the wall. "Well, I brought home some bread. You should go call everyone else."

"They're watching over Yuki in the next room," Piko nodded his head over. "It'd be more convenient if you brought the bags over to them."

"Okay." Rin sighed.

"Let me do that, Rin-chan," Luka said, getting up from her position. Before Rin could protest, the adult had taken the bags from the ground and entered through the broken down drapes that led to the next 'room'.

"Everyone, Rin-chan brought home bread." Luka said. All the former Vocaloids, except for two, looked up from where they were slumped.

"Thanks Rin," SF-A2 managed a weak smile with her scratchy voice. "We appreciate it."

"Yeah..." Megpoid Gumi sighed in her airy and out-of-tune voice. "Really, we do. But Miku's the one who needs to eat, most of all."

Said girl twitched when she heard her name, in the corner of the room where she hid her head in her knees, next to Yuki. She shook her head, teal hair moving with her head.

"Come on Miku, you haven't ate since...you know..." VY1 Mizki said, trailing off and trying not to mention what happened. The girl still refused to answer, but they all knew she couldn't.

For out of all of them, Hatsune Miku was the one who got her voicebank ripped out completely, rendering her incapable of speech.
