Chapter 3: Get along? Never!

Luka's POV

"Thank you," I said as I put on a new dress. "My name is Meiko," the brunette said. "My name is Megurine Luka, but you can call me Luka," I said smiling at her. "Aren't you Princess Meiko from the legend?" I asked. Meiko looked at me with an unreadable expression as she nodded her head. She was about to leave the room but I stopped her. "Meiko-san, can you stay here and talk to me for a while?" I asked in a childish way. She gave a soft-hearted laugh and sat beside me on the bed. "I was starting to think that you were not human since you didn't show any signs of being afraid," Meiko stated. I winced when she said that. "I- I'm not afraid," I said looking away from her.

All of a sudden, Meiko-san started to do this weird sparkly eyed thing and then she pinched my cheeks. "So very CUTE!" she said and then she hugged me. "Meiko-san, please stop," I said. "Sorry, it's very rare to find a tsundere around here," Meiko said. "T-tsundere?" I said in a question like voice. "Tsundere is a person who's rough on the outside but he or she is actually a really cute person," she pointed out. "I am not a tsundere. And I am so not cute!" I said with a pout. She giggled then her facial expression changed to a neutral expression.

"I'm sorry if Kaito-sama had been a jerk. He's actually a nice guy; he's never been a pervert. That I can assure you," Meiko-san said. I sighed, "Then why am I still here? Why are you all keeping me here? It's been four days now," I said. She looked at me with a pained expression and then she hugged me. "I have to go now," she said as she left the room.

I sighed as I lay down on my new bed. I keep on trying to get answers on why am I still here. Yes, I am starting to like Rin, Len and Meiko but I've got to get out of here. I'm the only friend Miku has, how if she's being bullied right now? And I can't stay here long, Luki needs me, too. Who would protect him from our drunkard father?

"I'm so stupid," I said in a low voice.

"At least you finally figured that out," a deep voice said. I turned to look at the door to see the so called "King". I gave him my scariest glare and told him to get lost. "Ungrateful bitch, I could've killed you on the first day, so at least be a little bit grateful that we are feeding you everyday to keep you alive," he said. As I passed through him, I hit him hard with my elbow. "I didn't ask for you to keep me alive," I said. He pulled me back, his deep blue eyes turning to the color red. I looked away, so he doesn't see the frightened look in my eyes.

I don't want to be those types of girls who need a price charming to keep them safe and assured. At the end of the day, the one who saves you is yourself. "Let me go," I said in a demanding way. He pushed me toward the wall with such a force that can make a grown man cry. It took me all my might to stop myself from saying, "Oof". He was about to punch me but he stopped as he looked at me. "Dinner's ready, that's why I called you," he said as he turned away.

Gumi rushed to my side with a worried expression. "You shouldn't mind Kaito-sama, he's just not fond of humans," she said. "Why do you even show him respect? He doesn't deserve to be called with honorifics!" I said. I went inside my room and locked my door. Gumi knocked on my door, "L-luka, you need to eat dinner!" "I don't need your king's food. Don't bother to try and keep me alive!" I screamed back.

I know that it was rude of me but I don't get what's their king's problem. He was the one who had harassed me and disrespected me. If they allowed me to leave the forest safely without any disturbance then there would be no problem. It was their stupid fault to grab me and drag me to this stupid house. "Why is life so unfair to me? Outside or inside this forest my life will still be a living hell," I mumbled as I started to cry silently.

I woke up when I heard some whispering inside my room. I stood up from my bed but I didn't see anything. I was about to go o sleep when my stomach grumbled and I heard a giggle. I stared at my closet and frowned upon seeing what was inside. "Rin, why are you inside my room?" I asked. "It's not only me, Meiko- chi and Gumi-chan is here, too!" Rin said with a pout.

"Rin-chan, how could you blow our cover?!" Meiko asked. The trio giggled as I gave them a not so scary glare. "What are you all doing here?" I asked. "That doesn't matter anymore, what matters is how to get you to make peace with Kaito-sama," Rin said gleefully. "To get the two of you to get along with each other!" Meiko said happily as Gumi nod in agreement.

"The two of us? Get along? Never!" I said as I try and push them out the door. "If he decides to become a nice monster then I would kiss.. I would kiss Gakupo! But that will never happen, so I won't be kissing anyone" I stated.

That's all for now ^^ don't worry Kaito-sama will soften up sooner than expected!
