Shiro walked around the town, bored that it had nothing interesting to offer. "Hm... Being a A.I. can be tiring. I wish I was singing instead of walking around..." She sat down and began singing one of the new things that had been uploaded to her when she had been walking around, by a band called Vocaloid. "Ichatasunda Alice-su no uta washiitsu, enchasoon, kasatasei, wasino-kasune." Shiro soon stopped singing when she saw a blond boy staring at her like she was weird. "Um... Hello." "Hi. Were you just imitating Meiku's voice?" "Hm? Oh. Yeah?" The boy stared at her a little blankly. "Are you an A.I.?" "Yes. Are you?" Shiro stared at him suspiciously. "Yes. I'm Len Kagamine." "Oh. Shiro Kurosaki." Len smiled at her. "Do you have anywhere to go as of now?" "No. Why?" Shiro stared up at him with curious eyes. "I have a whole bunch of family!" Len smiled again,and Shiro continued to stare. "You coming?" "Um... Yes!" Shiro smiled and stood up,and Len started walking. "You coming?" Len blinked while staring at her. "Um... You want me to follow?" "Yes. I want you to meet the rest of us." "All right.." Shiro slowly began walking behind him, and eventually got up to her full speed again. 'There... Are more of us?' Len sighed, knowing that Shiro must have been recently created, that's why she was so touchy and nervous. "So Shiro. When were you made, and who?" "I was made... 14 years ago. But I was awakened today by a boy walking through the ally I was being kept in, and nudged my arm." "Oh." "Yeah..."Len couldn't bare the silence, so he started humming silently. "Are you bored Len?" He looked back at Shiro."Hm? Oh... Just of the silence, that's all." "Yeah. I can understand that. Are we almost there?" "Mhm." Shiro stared forward and around. 'This is definitely different then I thought it would be in my data system.' Len sighed and clicked open a door. "Miku! Rin! I found another one!!" A girl looking exactly like Len popped up. "Another one? Another one what?" She stared at Shiro with curiosity in her eyes. "Are you a robot?" "Yes?" Len sighed and looked over at Miku. "She was awaken today. She's not sure of much." Rin sighed and shook her head slowly. "Hmf. We'll have to have Onii-chan hook her up." Len nodded and looked over at Shiro. "You'll be staying with us from now on!" She stared at them with a blank look. "As a helper around the house?" Len laughed and so did Rin as she stared at them. "No! Your part of the family now!" Shiro stared at them still. "I am... Family?" Miku sighed and tugged on her arm. "C'mon. Let's go get Onii-chan to plug you in a fix you up." "Onii... Chan?" Shiro followed after her and soon saw Onii-chan. "Onii-chan. We found another one." She smiled gently. "When has she been last plugged in?" "Never. She said she just woke up today. But she says she was created 14 years ago." "Hmf. That's a lot of updating needed... Give me a couple of hours..." Miku nodded and walked out respectably. "Now. What is your name?" "Umm... Shiro Kurosaki." "All right Shiro. I'm going to hook you up to the computer. Don't be afraid if you fall asleep. You might not have the same system of the others." Shiro nodded slowly and stood still looking at her. "All right. Come over here and stand on this platform and relax." She nodded slowly again and stepped on the plate and stood there. "Bye Shiro." Shiro relaxed, and soon was asleep. Onii-chan opened up the information on her. "Wow... She's really blank..." The only information she had input into her was a couple of songs, how to clean, her name, and everything she had learned that day. "Urg... This is gunna take a while..." Onii-chan started typing lots of information in for her to absorb. "She doesn't even have any memory of her creator... Should I... It'll be better for her." She input her name as the creator and pushed enter, starting the download process. "Oh! Wait!" Onii pushed backspace. "She should know her family." She put all of the names in and pushed enter again. "Welcome to our family, Shiro-chan..." She smiled, satisfied that she was now one of them.
Shiro slowly woke up and looked around the room. "Ack... So... Sleepy..." She stepped off and looked around again. "Onii-chan? Len-chan?" Shiro sighed and opened the door, stepping out. "Miku-chan? Rin-chan?" Rin looked up and smiled at her. "Hey Shiro! You feeling better?" "Definitely!" Shiro smiled and sat down. "Where is everyone else?" "They went out for ice cream and leeks." "Leeks? For Miku?" "Mhm!" Rin smiled again and looked back down to her book. "I'm going to..." "Change? Onii-chan left out some clothes for you to change into with your new system programming." "Oh.Thank you!" Shiro smiled again, and started to walk down the hall. "Second to the left-hand side." She nodded, opened the door, and walked inside. "Wow... Pretty!" Shiro beamed around the room as she explored. She eventually found the pair of clothes on the bed, which were completely black, and slipped them on. "These are nice!" Shiro smiled happily and walked out,greeted by Len. "Oh! Hi!" She smiled at him quaintly and Len raised an eyebrow. "Hello... I see you got your clothes..." "Mhm! Where is Miku?" He sweatdropped and pointed down the hall to the kitchen. "Thanks!" Shiro smiled at him again, and traveled down the hall, finding Miku munching on a leek. "Heya!" "Hi!" They smiled at each other, and Shiro sat down next to her. "Oh yeah! Onii-chan got you something that was from your creator that you liked!" Miku pulled out a bag and handed it to Shiro, smiling widely. "Carrots!" Shiro smiled with delight and pulled out one. "I haven't had one of these in forever!!!" They sat in a loud din of munching and crunching. "Hello Shiro!" "Heya Onii-chan!" She smiled at her and watched them munch for a while. "Such cute kids!" Shiro stared at her for a moment before munching again. "Thank you!" "Your welcome!" She walked out, and Shiro and Miku once again were sitting on the table and eating in a bonding silence. 'This is comfortable... The silence... It makes me feel at home...' Miku sat in thought and stared at the floor and Shiro stared at the wall.
Shiro woke up to a knocking on her door. "Whaaaat? I'm busy sleeping!" "Do you want to sing with us then?" "But I'm tired, but I still want to sing!!!" "Then get up! We'll leave without you!!" She lurched out of the bed and quickly got dressed. "GAH!!!Mada Utaitai!!" "All right!!!Hurry!!" Shiro swung open the door and ran right into Len, catching her before she fell over. "Jeez... Your clumsy in the mornings..." She stared up at him and turned a bright red from embarrassment. "S-sorry. I'll grab a carrot and we can go." Shiro scrambled into the kitchen, grabbed the carrot bag, stuffed it into her little black cat bag, then scrambled out the door. " Why are you in such a hurry?" "I am assuming by the urgency in your voice we shall be late." "No... I'm sorry I made you think that." Shiro stopped running and walked back. "It's okay! It happens!" Len looked at her weirdly as she pulled out a carrot and began eating. 'Such mood-swings can be troubling...' Shiro pulled up a song in her head and began listening to it. "How long ago were created Len?" "Nani? Oh. A couple of years ago..." She smiled again and looked around. "Are we almost there?" "We are here." Shiro sweatdropped and stared at the building. "Oh..." She swung open the door, and smacked into a revolving door. "Ack! Why are there two doors?!?" "Because they lock one, and go through the other." Shiro rolled her eyes and pushed through the revolving door. "That's so stupid!" "It works. You just have to get used to it." She looked around with a carrot sticking out of her mouth. Len sighed and pulled out the carrot, ignoring her whines as he stuck it in her hand. "Naaaaniiiiii?!?" "You look younger then you are when you do that..." "So does Miku!" Shiro stuck out her tongue and put her carrot in again. "Fine... Let's go." Len walked down a hall and Shiro followed. "You might not be able to record today, but we have a couple of people coming to see if one of us can act on a show." "What show?" "Some anime called Black Cat. Not such a major deal. But they do want us to act it out with people." Shiro's face dropped, knowing how hard acting out an anime with people would be. She had seen a couple of the episodes playing on the tv, but overall it looked really complicated to perform. Len clicked open a door and was greeted not just by Rin and Miku, but a bunch of other people. "Hey!" "Hi..." Shiro stared at them shyly and was standing behind Len. "Aww. Don't be shy! We'll love you the same!" A girl named Meiko came up and hugged her tightly. Shiro's eyes boggled slightly from being squeezed. "Um... Meiko, I think your smushing her..." Meiko smiled and released her, and Shiro took deep breathes. "I feel lke you tried to kill me..." She felt eyes on the back of her head, and turned to a pair of bright gold eyes. "GAH!" Shiro lept three feet in the air and clung onto a wall. "Well that's mean. I get greeted by a scream." "Hey Mr. Heartnet." Shiro glared at him as she slowly slid down the wall. "Great. Screams and glares. Feeling the love a lot!" He glared back and Shiro continued to glare as Len pried her off the wall. "Sorry Train. She's a little jumpy..." Shiro clung to Len and continued to glare. "You scared me..." "Haha,you remind me of Eve!" Meiko laughed a little and so did Rin, most likely thinking he was cute, or they wanted to be in the show. Shiro got her guts up and stood in front of him. "Maybe I wouldn't if there weren't unnatural guys sneaking up on me!" "Maybe if you weren't so pretty, I wouldn't be sneaking up on you!" "I'm not pretty, and your pretty creepy for calling a girl you don't know pretty!" They glared at each other, and their awkward silence was broken by Miku's munching. "Whatever..." Shiro walked over by Miku and stood next to her and Train stood awkwardly. "Al-righty then... Soo... Yabuki! Who's the pick?!?" He looked around weirdly and Shiro stared at him like he was an idiot. "Shiro!" Her eyes bugged out when she heard her name. "Wait, what?!? NANI?!?" Train stared at her. "No! Noooo! I am NOT working with her!!!" "NANI?!?!?" Len's eye twitched and he shoved his hand over her mouth. "Shush!" Shiro continued to glare at Train as he continued to flip out. "Yabuki!!! I didn't sign up for you to copy my life and decide who's in it!!!" "Tough stuff!!! Get on to the second adventure!! She's going with you along with.... Hatsune Miku!!" Miku dropped the leek out of her mouth and into her hand. "Why us?!?" "Because you two are spicy women!! Now go with Heartnet and go somewhere!!!!" Shiro growled at Train, grabbed Miku's wrist, quickly hugged Len, and stormed out the door. "No way in hell am I dealing with this weirdo s**t!" "Shi-chan!!" "Sorry! But do you really want to deal with this kind of crap? I mean, have you even seen how dangerous the damn show is!?!?" Miku stared at her with wet eyes. "I don't want to leave..." Shiro sighed and pulled her into a hug. "S-sorry... I'm just... Angry we have to go..." Miku nodded and looked around, then pulled away. "You hug like a guy." "Yeah... I bet I sound like one, too." Shiro sweatdropped and rubbed at the back of her head, waiting for their doom to come out. "This isn't gunna be fun..." "Yeah..." They stared at each other awkwardly in understanding before Train came out. "All right! We're going somewhere!" Shiro groaned loudly and Miku sweatdropped. "Hey.That's mean. You saying this isn't cool?" "No. It's not. I just awoke a couple of days ago, and now... I'm stuck with a world class killer!" "X-world class killer." Miku sweatdropped again. "Can you guys stop? Your beginning to annoy me, and I don't want to have to kill you guys before we even leave..." The two continued to bicker, and Miku slowly got irritated. "All right, both of you! You shall stop, as of now, before I HAVE TO KILL YOU!!!" They stopped right then and Miku smiled with satisfaction. "This is good." Shiro shot a glare, and was bopped over the head with a leek. "No glaring! That is how a fight starts!" Train laughed at her, and got hit also. "No laughing at the pain of others!" "Hey, now wait-!" "NO BACKSASS!!!"Train was again hit, and Shiro started laughing, then got hit. This resulted in an afternoon of hitting people over the head with a leek and correcting them.
"Dohenori..." Train and Shiro sat together on a bench with huge bumps on their heads as Miku hit Shiro again. "Negative attitude!" She stuck her tongue out at her and began to eat a carrot. Train sat with a bottle of milk in his hand and stared at the sky. "What're you staring at?" "The sky. Does there need to be anything up there for me to look up?" "No. I would suppose not..." Miku stared at them awkwardly as she continued to eat yet another leek. Shiro sighed. "All right mister adventure man, where are we going." Train looked at her with an eyebrow raised. "I dunno. I guess... Wherever we go then." She sighed and smacked her forehead. "I won't be surprised if you got shot in the a**..." "That has happened once. It hurt like hell." "I don't need to know that!!!" Shiro hit Train, and in turn, he hit her back, along with them both getting smacked with a leek. "Ow!" "Sorry!" She rubbed her head and sighed. "So where the hell are we going?" "Like I said, we're going to wherever we go." Miku watched them cautiously to make sure they wouldn't start in hitting each other again. "Miku... We aren't going to hit each other anymore." "I'm too sore." Shiro sighed and rubbed the huge bump on her head, avoiding smacking the bunny ears on her headband. "Why... Do you have bunny ears?" "Cause I wanted to." She shot Train a glare that told him that Miku had gotten them for her. Shiro pulled off the headband and stuffed it in her bag. "Let's go. If you won't decide, I will." Train glared at her and stood up, and Miku climbed onto Shiro's back. "What are you two doing?" "She always does this because I'm tall. Now shut up before I hit you with a leek." Train sighed and began walking in a random direction. "We're going to a sweepers bar." "Nani?! Why are we going there?!?" "To get information. Now come on!" Shiro took long strides with her legs as Miku sat on her back like a child and ate leek. Train motioned down an ally way and Shiro gave him a questioning look as she walked down. "Great. Dead end." "Nu." Train pointed to a little tent that looked like a home for a hobo. "What?!" "Go!" He pushed her through, and she stumbled out the other side. "License?" "Here." Train handed the man his license, and they walked on. "What was that dude doing?" "Protection. No one that doesn't have a license or isn't accompaned by a Sweeper can't get in." Shiro nodded, and Miku clung to her back tighter. "Miku... Calm down. Your hurting me." She slackened her grip on Shiro relaxed. "Sorry..." "It's fine." Shiro sat Miku down in a chair like she was a doll, and sat down in a chair next to her. "Milk." "Same." Train smiled and looked around again, and Miku fiddled with her skirt. "Hey. Boy. Since when have you come here?" "What?" Train looked up at the man who came out of nowhere. "No. Not you." The man gestured to Shiro. "Hmf. I came today. Got a problem?" "N-not at all... Sorry to bother you." He stepped away and Shiro stared at him. "Jeez. Act like you haven't seen a guyish looking girl..." Train sweatdropped and looked over Shiro completely for the first time. She was like a male looking cat. "Um... I can see why he mistaked you for a guy..." Shiro shot an evil looking glare at him, and he looked the other way while drinking milk. "Shiro. Knock it off." She looked over at Miku, surprised she had spoken. "Um... Okay..." The man looked back and smirked. "Aww... Little boy is listening to his girlfriend!" Shiro stood up simply, punched him in the jaw, and sat down. "Go suck on your non-existant girlfriend, little boy. By the by, you just got punched by a fourteen year old." The man stared at her. "Why you little..." He swung out his arm, and Shiro dodged. "I'm not little. I'm actually taller then you. And I suggest you don't start anything. I could get your license revoked." He stared at her, then looked at Train. "Black Cat. You've got a partner that has some major balls..." He walked away, and Train stared at her with a confused look on his face. "How... Did you know that?" "Easy. The stupid sign of reluctance was on his face." Shiro took a drink of her milk and stared around, ingulfed in stares from everyone else there. "Shiro... I think you pissed them off..." Shiro stared at them, and sweatdropped when she saw their look. "Um... Train.... We should get going..." Train nodded slowly and stood up. "Hey! Big boy! Let's fight. Outside!" "Alright. Your on. I'll make you cry." The men ooo-ed and ahhh-ed at her statement. "Fine." Train stared at her, thinking that she had gotten herself in some deep crap. Shiro walked outside, and faced the man, popping her knuckles. "Alright pain in my donkey, let's get to work. You first. You could use it...." The man pulled at her with brass knuckles, and Shiro jumped away easily. "Oohh. Was that supposed to hit me?" He started to swing repeatedly, and each time Shiro dodged and taunted him. "Damn it boy! Stand still!" "Should I give you a pity shot to make you feel better about yourself?" Train laughed at the comment, and noticed that Miku was clingning to his back. "You okay?" "Mhm...." They stared as the man went faster and faster, and Shiro's comments getting more and more nasty and fast with each punch, and finally, when she dodged, Shiro jumped out of the way and the man ran straight into the wall. "Sorry little boy. Looks like you just lost. To someone that doesn't even have a Sweeper license." She patted his back and shrugged simply as she walked over to Train, and felt the stares at her. "Train. Let's go." She took a hold of Miku, let her scurry up her back, and walked away with Train ahead of them. "Woot! That was awesome!!" "That boy has some talent!!" "Yeah! That was umbelievable!" "So fun! I wanna see him fight someone else!" Shiro smiled and continued to walk with Miku, and Train was deeply impressed "Train. Train!" "What?" "I'm hungry and tired." "Fine. Got money?" "Enough to cover the food for a couple of days..." "Alright. Miku. Got money?" "Nope. Nothing." Shiro sighed. "That's alright. We'll split the pay." Train nodded and walked into a cheep hotel. "Wait here with Miku. I'll get the food." Shiro walked out the door to a paistry vender, and Train got a key card for the hotel. "Back." Her hands were full of bread and paistries, so Train walked up to the door and swiped the card. "Open." He swioed it again, but it still wouldn't open. "Damn. Door. Won't. Open!" Train continued to move that card frantically, changing his way once in a while. "Train...." Shiro moved a large stick of bread to her mouth carefully, swiped the card gently, then twisted the door handle. "Oh..." Shiro rolled her eyes at Train then walked in, dropping all the food on the two beds. "Welp. I've got a lot of food to last us a while." Train nodded and grabbed a roll, and Shiro tossed a little strawberry paistry to Miku. Shiro sighed and grabbed a cherry one. "We didn't get any information from that whole little fight." "Yeah... Hey! I forgot! Yabuki said that he was going to get the info from what you recorded today and send it to the show." Shiro smiled, remembering that info, then flicked on the TV, injoying the playback of the fight she had caused, then smiled when she saw Train struggling to get open the door, ending the show. She smiled even wider when she had seen the first ending song playing with new chibi characters. "Train. You look better a chibi." Train frowned and stuck out his tongue at her, and laughed when Miku danced across the screen trying to hit them with a leek. Miku was asleep on one of the beds, and Shiro groaned, remembering that she was a bed hog. "One of us is sleeping on the floor." Train was currently sitting on the side-stand. "You will." "Nuu! You are." Train rolled his eyes, stood up, and pinned her to the bed. "Stay." Shiro stared up at him. "This is concidered harrassment." "Your not recording." She blinked again. "Now I am." Train stared down at her. "You will sleep. In this bed. I will sleep on the floor." "No. I will not sleep here." Shiro stared at him and he stared at her with a strict look. "Yes." "No. I won't." Train continued to glare, and Shiro was recording everything. "I will keep you here all night if I have to make you." "Why are we fighting over a stupid bed?" "Because girls need their comfort." "I'm not an average girl. You saw that earlier." The glare continued to go as Miku rolled around on her bed, snoring gently. "Train. No. I say no." He sat there and stared at her. "Fine. I'll keep you here." "You can't fall asleep in that pose..." "Yes I can. I can fall asleep standing." Shiro stared up at him, no longer glaring. She blinked, turning the camera off. "I did that to do this." She raised her knee, and Train stared at her with a questioning look. "To raise your knee between my legs?" "No. To save you the embarassment." Shiro pulled up quickly, and Train rolled off in pain. "Ohh my goodd...." Train sat on the floor. "Haha, told ya." She smiled triumphantly and stared at him. "Get up." Shiro pulled Train up gently and pushed him on the bed. "There." He grinned, grabbed her leg, and pulled her down with him. "Ack..." She stared at him, having a glare. "This won't work. I will not sleep in your bed." "Yeah-huh. It's a compromise." Shiro sighed, then closed her eyes, thinking she would just ignore the fact he was there. "Night." She smelled milk, and resisted smelling it deeply. "Night..." Later in the night, she ended up cuddling to him, and woke up from him gently snoring. "Ack..." Shiro stared at him, and tried to pull away, but noticed Train had ended up clinging to her. She ignored that fact, and finally was able to take in the smell of milk as she fell asleep.
Train blinked once, then twice, and felt something in his arms. He blinked again, and saw Shiro. Woah... Okay. He let her go and sat up, greeted by Miku watching reruns Black Cat. "Hey. Morning Miku." She almost jumped sky-high when she heard her name. "Oh! Hi..." Train got up and grabbed a paistry, and began eating, watching himself on TV. "This is so weird..." Miku nodded. "It's like... Watching a different person who stalks you and looks like you..." Train nodded again in between munching on paistry, and soon was greeted by a smack on the head from Shiro. "Why were you clinging to me last night?!" "Sorry! I tend to cling!" "You could have said that before we slept!" Miku stared at the two, obviously confused. "You guys... Slept together? With me in the room?" "N-no! I mean, we got forced to sleep in the same bed... There was no clothing missing or anything!" Shiro waived her arms frantically as she talked, and Miku soon clung to her again. "Good. No one sleeps with my person." Train stared at Miku with the same look Shiro had. "Um... I'm gunna... Eat now...." Shiro picked up a roll and began eating quietly with the rest along with sounds from the TV. Soon, everyone was packed up and ready to go again, so they walked down stairs with Miku still clinging to Shiro's back. "Aww... Such a cute child!" "She's not a child. She's older then me." The owner gave her a look before taking the card key. "Hope you had a nice stay." Train nodded and walked outside, stretching. "Great. Well, let's go make some money." They started off walking, then Shiro saw the bounty. "Hey... That's the guy... That's the scary guy...!" Train smiled. "Alright. I gotta plan..."
Shiro growled, not thinking this would be a part of the plan. She squeezed Train's hand tightly, and he made a sorry face. "Oh honey! Isn't this a wonderful place?" Train winced at the sugary voice she was making. "Mhm! We should come here every year!" "As long as we don't have any problems, I don't see why not." The bounty stared at them warily. "My! What an adorible child! May I see her?" Shiro looked at Train, he nodded slowly, so Shiro handed over Miku. "What a cute kid. Maybe she'll make a very good kid for me to eat!" Train pulled out his gun instantly, and Shiro was in front of the man. "I don't think so. I mean, what child would want a man, who's been kneed?" "Huh?" She brought her leg up and caught Miku before she hit the ground, slinging her to her back. "Sorry buddy." The man groaned in pain as Train pulled him up. "Gotta admit Shiro. You did a pretty good job pulling off a sweet girl!" "Next time, you'll be wearing a dress." Train frowned and Shiro laughed. "One question..." She looked down at the man. "Whatta you want?" "How the hell did you pass for a girl?" "Cause I am one, stupid." He looked at her surprised, and Train laughed as Miku stared down at him. "How pathetic." Miku giggled at her own comment as they dragged the man to the police.
Shiro watched, amazed at how much Train was eating. "Damn... You act like you haven't eaten anything in days!" Train laughed and sat back, satisfied. "Oooo my god... We just killed off a thousand bucks on your eating!!" Miku stared at him, mortified that someone could eat that much. "That's discusting... I think we should be going before he explodes from overfeeding..." Shiro nodded and pulled him up. "Let's go."
Shiro slowly woke up and looked around the room. "Ack... So... Sleepy..." She stepped off and looked around again. "Onii-chan? Len-chan?" Shiro sighed and opened the door, stepping out. "Miku-chan? Rin-chan?" Rin looked up and smiled at her. "Hey Shiro! You feeling better?" "Definitely!" Shiro smiled and sat down. "Where is everyone else?" "They went out for ice cream and leeks." "Leeks? For Miku?" "Mhm!" Rin smiled again and looked back down to her book. "I'm going to..." "Change? Onii-chan left out some clothes for you to change into with your new system programming." "Oh.Thank you!" Shiro smiled again, and started to walk down the hall. "Second to the left-hand side." She nodded, opened the door, and walked inside. "Wow... Pretty!" Shiro beamed around the room as she explored. She eventually found the pair of clothes on the bed, which were completely black, and slipped them on. "These are nice!" Shiro smiled happily and walked out,greeted by Len. "Oh! Hi!" She smiled at him quaintly and Len raised an eyebrow. "Hello... I see you got your clothes..." "Mhm! Where is Miku?" He sweatdropped and pointed down the hall to the kitchen. "Thanks!" Shiro smiled at him again, and traveled down the hall, finding Miku munching on a leek. "Heya!" "Hi!" They smiled at each other, and Shiro sat down next to her. "Oh yeah! Onii-chan got you something that was from your creator that you liked!" Miku pulled out a bag and handed it to Shiro, smiling widely. "Carrots!" Shiro smiled with delight and pulled out one. "I haven't had one of these in forever!!!" They sat in a loud din of munching and crunching. "Hello Shiro!" "Heya Onii-chan!" She smiled at her and watched them munch for a while. "Such cute kids!" Shiro stared at her for a moment before munching again. "Thank you!" "Your welcome!" She walked out, and Shiro and Miku once again were sitting on the table and eating in a bonding silence. 'This is comfortable... The silence... It makes me feel at home...' Miku sat in thought and stared at the floor and Shiro stared at the wall.
Shiro woke up to a knocking on her door. "Whaaaat? I'm busy sleeping!" "Do you want to sing with us then?" "But I'm tired, but I still want to sing!!!" "Then get up! We'll leave without you!!" She lurched out of the bed and quickly got dressed. "GAH!!!Mada Utaitai!!" "All right!!!Hurry!!" Shiro swung open the door and ran right into Len, catching her before she fell over. "Jeez... Your clumsy in the mornings..." She stared up at him and turned a bright red from embarrassment. "S-sorry. I'll grab a carrot and we can go." Shiro scrambled into the kitchen, grabbed the carrot bag, stuffed it into her little black cat bag, then scrambled out the door. " Why are you in such a hurry?" "I am assuming by the urgency in your voice we shall be late." "No... I'm sorry I made you think that." Shiro stopped running and walked back. "It's okay! It happens!" Len looked at her weirdly as she pulled out a carrot and began eating. 'Such mood-swings can be troubling...' Shiro pulled up a song in her head and began listening to it. "How long ago were created Len?" "Nani? Oh. A couple of years ago..." She smiled again and looked around. "Are we almost there?" "We are here." Shiro sweatdropped and stared at the building. "Oh..." She swung open the door, and smacked into a revolving door. "Ack! Why are there two doors?!?" "Because they lock one, and go through the other."

Len sighed and pulled out the carrot, ignoring her whines as he stuck it in her hand. "Naaaaniiiiii?!?" "You look younger then you are when you do that..." "So does Miku!" Shiro stuck out her tongue and put her carrot in again. "Fine... Let's go." Len walked down a hall and Shiro followed. "You might not be able to record today, but we have a couple of people coming to see if one of us can act on a show." "What show?" "Some anime called Black Cat. Not such a major deal. But they do want us to act it out with people." Shiro's face dropped, knowing how hard acting out an anime with people would be.

Len clicked open a door and was greeted not just by Rin and Miku, but a bunch of other people. "Hey!" "Hi..." Shiro stared at them shyly and was standing behind Len. "Aww. Don't be shy!

Meiko smiled and released her, and Shiro took deep breathes. "I feel lke you tried to kill me..." She felt eyes on the back of her head, and turned to a pair of bright gold eyes. "GAH!" Shiro lept three feet in the air and clung onto a wall. "Well that's mean. I get greeted by a scream." "Hey Mr. Heartnet." Shiro glared at him as she slowly slid down the wall. "Great. Screams and glares. Feeling the love a lot!" He glared back and Shiro continued to glare as Len pried her off the wall. "Sorry Train. She's a little jumpy..." Shiro clung to Len and continued to glare. "You scared me..." "Haha,you remind me of Eve!" Meiko laughed a little and so did Rin, most likely thinking he was cute, or they wanted to be in the show. Shiro got her guts up and stood in front of him. "Maybe I wouldn't if there weren't unnatural guys sneaking up on me!" "Maybe if you weren't so pretty, I wouldn't be sneaking up on you!" "I'm not pretty, and your pretty creepy for calling a girl you don't know pretty!" They glared at each other, and their awkward silence was broken by Miku's munching. "Whatever..." Shiro walked over by Miku and stood next to her and Train stood awkwardly. "Al-righty then... Soo... Yabuki! Who's the pick?!?" He looked around weirdly and Shiro stared at him like he was an idiot. "Shiro!" Her eyes bugged out when she heard her name. "Wait, what?!? NANI?!?" Train stared at her. "No! Noooo! I am NOT working with her!!!" "NANI?!?!?" Len's eye twitched and he shoved his hand over her mouth. "Shush!" Shiro continued to glare at Train as he continued to flip out. "Yabuki!!! I didn't sign up for you to copy my life and decide who's in it!!!" "Tough stuff!!! Get on to the second adventure!! She's going with you along with.... Hatsune Miku!!" Miku dropped the leek out of her mouth and into her hand. "Why us?!?" "Because you two are spicy women!! Now go with Heartnet and go somewhere!!!!" Shiro growled at Train, grabbed Miku's wrist, quickly hugged Len, and stormed out the door. "No way in hell am I dealing with this weirdo s**t!" "Shi-chan!!" "Sorry! But do you really want to deal with this kind of crap? I mean, have you even seen how dangerous the damn show is!?!?" Miku stared at her with wet eyes. "I don't want to leave..." Shiro sighed and pulled her into a hug. "S-sorry... I'm just... Angry we have to go..." Miku nodded and looked around, then pulled away. "You hug like a guy." "Yeah... I bet I sound like one, too." Shiro sweatdropped and rubbed at the back of her head, waiting for their doom to come out. "This isn't gunna be fun..." "Yeah..." They stared at each other awkwardly in understanding before Train came out. "All right! We're going somewhere!" Shiro groaned loudly and Miku sweatdropped. "Hey.That's mean. You saying this isn't cool?" "No. It's not. I just awoke a couple of days ago, and now... I'm stuck with a world class killer!" "X-world class killer." Miku sweatdropped again. "Can you guys stop? Your beginning to annoy me, and I don't want to have to kill you guys before we even leave..." The two continued to bicker, and Miku slowly got irritated. "All right, both of you! You shall stop, as of now, before I HAVE TO KILL YOU!!!" They stopped right then and Miku smiled with satisfaction. "This is good." Shiro shot a glare, and was bopped over the head with a leek. "No glaring! That is how a fight starts!" Train laughed at her, and got hit also. "No laughing at the pain of others!" "Hey, now wait-!" "NO BACKSASS!!!"Train was again hit, and Shiro started laughing, then got hit. This resulted in an afternoon of hitting people over the head with a leek and correcting them.
"Dohenori..." Train and Shiro sat together on a bench with huge bumps on their heads as Miku hit Shiro again. "Negative attitude!" She stuck her tongue out at her and began to eat a carrot. Train sat with a bottle of milk in his hand and stared at the sky. "What're you staring at?" "The sky. Does there need to be anything up there for me to look up?" "No. I would suppose not..." Miku stared at them awkwardly as she continued to eat yet another leek. Shiro sighed. "All right mister adventure man, where are we going." Train looked at her with an eyebrow raised. "I dunno. I guess... Wherever we go then." She sighed and smacked her forehead. "I won't be surprised if you got shot in the a**..." "That has happened once. It hurt like hell." "I don't need to know that!!!" Shiro hit Train, and in turn, he hit her back, along with them both getting smacked with a leek. "Ow!" "Sorry!" She rubbed her head and sighed. "So where the hell are we going?" "Like I said, we're going to wherever we go." Miku watched them cautiously to make sure they wouldn't start in hitting each other again. "Miku... We aren't going to hit each other anymore." "I'm too sore." Shiro sighed and rubbed the huge bump on her head, avoiding smacking the bunny ears on her headband. "Why... Do you have bunny ears?" "Cause I wanted to." She shot Train a glare that told him that Miku had gotten them for her. Shiro pulled off the headband and stuffed it in her bag. "Let's go. If you won't decide, I will." Train glared at her and stood up, and Miku climbed onto Shiro's back. "What are you two doing?" "She always does this because I'm tall. Now shut up before I hit you with a leek." Train sighed and began walking in a random direction. "We're going to a sweepers bar." "Nani?! Why are we going there?!?" "To get information. Now come on!" Shiro took long strides with her legs as Miku sat on her back like a child and ate leek. Train motioned down an ally way and Shiro gave him a questioning look as she walked down. "Great. Dead end." "Nu." Train pointed to a little tent that looked like a home for a hobo. "What?!" "Go!" He pushed her through, and she stumbled out the other side. "License?" "Here." Train handed the man his license, and they walked on. "What was that dude doing?" "Protection. No one that doesn't have a license or isn't accompaned by a Sweeper can't get in." Shiro nodded, and Miku clung to her back tighter. "Miku... Calm down. Your hurting me." She slackened her grip on Shiro relaxed. "Sorry..." "It's fine." Shiro sat Miku down in a chair like she was a doll, and sat down in a chair next to her. "Milk." "Same." Train smiled and looked around again, and Miku fiddled with her skirt. "Hey. Boy. Since when have you come here?" "What?" Train looked up at the man who came out of nowhere. "No. Not you." The man gestured to Shiro. "Hmf. I came today. Got a problem?" "N-not at all... Sorry to bother you." He stepped away and Shiro stared at him. "Jeez. Act like you haven't seen a guyish looking girl..." Train sweatdropped and looked over Shiro completely for the first time. She was like a male looking cat. "Um... I can see why he mistaked you for a guy..." Shiro shot an evil looking glare at him, and he looked the other way while drinking milk. "Shiro. Knock it off." She looked over at Miku, surprised she had spoken. "Um... Okay..." The man looked back and smirked. "Aww... Little boy is listening to his girlfriend!" Shiro stood up simply, punched him in the jaw, and sat down. "Go suck on your non-existant girlfriend, little boy. By the by, you just got punched by a fourteen year old." The man stared at her. "Why you little..." He swung out his arm, and Shiro dodged. "I'm not little. I'm actually taller then you. And I suggest you don't start anything. I could get your license revoked." He stared at her, then looked at Train. "Black Cat. You've got a partner that has some major balls..." He walked away, and Train stared at her with a confused look on his face. "How... Did you know that?" "Easy. The stupid sign of reluctance was on his face." Shiro took a drink of her milk and stared around, ingulfed in stares from everyone else there. "Shiro... I think you pissed them off..." Shiro stared at them, and sweatdropped when she saw their look. "Um... Train.... We should get going..." Train nodded slowly and stood up. "Hey! Big boy! Let's fight. Outside!" "Alright. Your on. I'll make you cry." The men ooo-ed and ahhh-ed at her statement. "Fine." Train stared at her, thinking that she had gotten herself in some deep crap. Shiro walked outside, and faced the man, popping her knuckles. "Alright pain in my donkey, let's get to work. You first. You could use it...." The man pulled at her with brass knuckles, and Shiro jumped away easily. "Oohh. Was that supposed to hit me?" He started to swing repeatedly, and each time Shiro dodged and taunted him. "Damn it boy! Stand still!" "Should I give you a pity shot to make you feel better about yourself?" Train laughed at the comment, and noticed that Miku was clingning to his back. "You okay?" "Mhm...." They stared as the man went faster and faster, and Shiro's comments getting more and more nasty and fast with each punch, and finally, when she dodged, Shiro jumped out of the way and the man ran straight into the wall. "Sorry little boy. Looks like you just lost. To someone that doesn't even have a Sweeper license." She patted his back and shrugged simply as she walked over to Train, and felt the stares at her. "Train. Let's go." She took a hold of Miku, let her scurry up her back, and walked away with Train ahead of them. "Woot! That was awesome!!" "That boy has some talent!!" "Yeah! That was umbelievable!" "So fun! I wanna see him fight someone else!" Shiro smiled and continued to walk with Miku, and Train was deeply impressed "Train. Train!" "What?" "I'm hungry and tired." "Fine. Got money?" "Enough to cover the food for a couple of days..." "Alright. Miku. Got money?" "Nope. Nothing." Shiro sighed. "That's alright. We'll split the pay." Train nodded and walked into a cheep hotel. "Wait here with Miku. I'll get the food." Shiro walked out the door to a paistry vender, and Train got a key card for the hotel. "Back." Her hands were full of bread and paistries, so Train walked up to the door and swiped the card. "Open." He swioed it again, but it still wouldn't open. "Damn. Door. Won't. Open!" Train continued to move that card frantically, changing his way once in a while. "Train...." Shiro moved a large stick of bread to her mouth carefully, swiped the card gently, then twisted the door handle. "Oh..." Shiro rolled her eyes at Train then walked in, dropping all the food on the two beds. "Welp. I've got a lot of food to last us a while." Train nodded and grabbed a roll, and Shiro tossed a little strawberry paistry to Miku. Shiro sighed and grabbed a cherry one. "We didn't get any information from that whole little fight." "Yeah... Hey! I forgot! Yabuki said that he was going to get the info from what you recorded today and send it to the show." Shiro smiled, remembering that info, then flicked on the TV, injoying the playback of the fight she had caused, then smiled when she saw Train struggling to get open the door, ending the show. She smiled even wider when she had seen the first ending song playing with new chibi characters. "Train. You look better a chibi." Train frowned and stuck out his tongue at her, and laughed when Miku danced across the screen trying to hit them with a leek. Miku was asleep on one of the beds, and Shiro groaned, remembering that she was a bed hog. "One of us is sleeping on the floor." Train was currently sitting on the side-stand. "You will." "Nuu! You are." Train rolled his eyes, stood up, and pinned her to the bed. "Stay." Shiro stared up at him. "This is concidered harrassment." "Your not recording." She blinked again. "Now I am." Train stared down at her. "You will sleep. In this bed. I will sleep on the floor." "No. I will not sleep here." Shiro stared at him and he stared at her with a strict look. "Yes." "No. I won't." Train continued to glare, and Shiro was recording everything. "I will keep you here all night if I have to make you." "Why are we fighting over a stupid bed?" "Because girls need their comfort." "I'm not an average girl. You saw that earlier." The glare continued to go as Miku rolled around on her bed, snoring gently. "Train. No. I say no." He sat there and stared at her. "Fine. I'll keep you here." "You can't fall asleep in that pose..." "Yes I can. I can fall asleep standing." Shiro stared up at him, no longer glaring. She blinked, turning the camera off. "I did that to do this." She raised her knee, and Train stared at her with a questioning look. "To raise your knee between my legs?" "No. To save you the embarassment." Shiro pulled up quickly, and Train rolled off in pain. "Ohh my goodd...." Train sat on the floor. "Haha, told ya." She smiled triumphantly and stared at him. "Get up." Shiro pulled Train up gently and pushed him on the bed. "There." He grinned, grabbed her leg, and pulled her down with him. "Ack..." She stared at him, having a glare. "This won't work. I will not sleep in your bed." "Yeah-huh. It's a compromise." Shiro sighed, then closed her eyes, thinking she would just ignore the fact he was there. "Night." She smelled milk, and resisted smelling it deeply. "Night..." Later in the night, she ended up cuddling to him, and woke up from him gently snoring. "Ack..." Shiro stared at him, and tried to pull away, but noticed Train had ended up clinging to her. She ignored that fact, and finally was able to take in the smell of milk as she fell asleep.
Train blinked once, then twice, and felt something in his arms. He blinked again, and saw Shiro. Woah... Okay. He let her go and sat up, greeted by Miku watching reruns Black Cat. "Hey. Morning Miku." She almost jumped sky-high when she heard her name. "Oh! Hi..." Train got up and grabbed a paistry, and began eating, watching himself on TV. "This is so weird..." Miku nodded. "It's like... Watching a different person who stalks you and looks like you..." Train nodded again in between munching on paistry, and soon was greeted by a smack on the head from Shiro. "Why were you clinging to me last night?!" "Sorry! I tend to cling!" "You could have said that before we slept!" Miku stared at the two, obviously confused. "You guys... Slept together? With me in the room?" "N-no! I mean, we got forced to sleep in the same bed... There was no clothing missing or anything!" Shiro waived her arms frantically as she talked, and Miku soon clung to her again. "Good. No one sleeps with my person." Train stared at Miku with the same look Shiro had. "Um... I'm gunna... Eat now...." Shiro picked up a roll and began eating quietly with the rest along with sounds from the TV. Soon, everyone was packed up and ready to go again, so they walked down stairs with Miku still clinging to Shiro's back. "Aww... Such a cute child!" "She's not a child. She's older then me." The owner gave her a look before taking the card key. "Hope you had a nice stay." Train nodded and walked outside, stretching. "Great. Well, let's go make some money." They started off walking, then Shiro saw the bounty. "Hey... That's the guy... That's the scary guy...!" Train smiled. "Alright. I gotta plan..."
Shiro growled, not thinking this would be a part of the plan. She squeezed Train's hand tightly, and he made a sorry face. "Oh honey! Isn't this a wonderful place?" Train winced at the sugary voice she was making. "Mhm! We should come here every year!" "As long as we don't have any problems, I don't see why not." The bounty stared at them warily. "My! What an adorible child! May I see her?" Shiro looked at Train, he nodded slowly, so Shiro handed over Miku. "What a cute kid. Maybe she'll make a very good kid for me to eat!" Train pulled out his gun instantly, and Shiro was in front of the man. "I don't think so. I mean, what child would want a man, who's been kneed?" "Huh?" She brought her leg up and caught Miku before she hit the ground, slinging her to her back. "Sorry buddy." The man groaned in pain as Train pulled him up. "Gotta admit Shiro. You did a pretty good job pulling off a sweet girl!" "Next time, you'll be wearing a dress." Train frowned and Shiro laughed. "One question..." She looked down at the man. "Whatta you want?" "How the hell did you pass for a girl?" "Cause I am one, stupid." He looked at her surprised, and Train laughed as Miku stared down at him. "How pathetic." Miku giggled at her own comment as they dragged the man to the police.
Shiro watched, amazed at how much Train was eating. "Damn... You act like you haven't eaten anything in days!" Train laughed and sat back, satisfied. "Oooo my god... We just killed off a thousand bucks on your eating!!" Miku stared at him, mortified that someone could eat that much. "That's discusting... I think we should be going before he explodes from overfeeding..." Shiro nodded and pulled him up. "Let's go."
