Missing Notes

[mugenginga]

Zero shrugged. No way out of this it seemed, "I was having a really bad day. You have no idea, trust me. Your blue haired friend there is lucky she's alive," Zero chuckled, "And be lucky that little incident improved my mood. All of you are programs. You're more susceptible to my powers than humans."

Gakupo stepped foward like the idiot he is and drew his katana, pointing it towards Zero, "I suggest you leave," he stated in a tone that was rather flat for Gakupo.

Zero stepped toward the blade, allowing the tip to gently press against his shirt roughly where his physical heart should be, "Run me through, see where it gets you," his eyes had a dangerous glint to them now, and he was sporting one of his infamous puppy killing smiles.

The whole sword drawing incident had caused the few onlookers to suddenly be "distracted" and the few people in the store were flitering out. It was actually a pretty calm reaction.

Luka stepped forward as well. "Rin, Len, Miku, step back. We'll handle this like adults." And of course, by handleing this like adults, she meant "we're gonna beat the everloving data out of this creep."

[tsifan]

This time Len grabbed Rin's arm to pull her toward the exit and had also grabbed Miku's arm as well. "Come on, let's get out of here." Len said as he pulled the two toward the exit.

[mugenginga]

Zero seemed completely unimpressed. Which to the two Vocaloids still ready to fight would mean he was either far stronger than he looked or extremely stupid. Gakupo, however, looked entirely unsure what to do with the situation. He managed to put his arm out in front of Luka, but his voice was far too shaky to make the situation. People weren't supposed to use their opponent's blade to kill themself. Was this guy out to avenge his honor or something?

"Luka, stay back. I don't want you getting hurt..."

The corners of Zero's lips curled up and he pushed himself a minute amount forward. Just enough for Kamui's blade to cut through his clothes, but not his skin, "You can't win like this,"

Gakupo narrowed his eyes, "I will kill you."

Zero looked completely psychotic by now, "Prove it."

[Firebreath Fishslap]

Luka stayed where she was.

"If you're that worried about me, then you should worry more about yourself," she said. "You forget who we are facing."

She turned to Zero. "And please, stop giving everyone that face. You're scaring the children." The children in this case being Miku, and Len/Rin.

"...Did she just call me a kid?" Miku asked, her face red.

[tsifan]

Rin didn't take that well either and then yelled out, "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A KID?" quite pissed as she got loose of Len's grip and grabbed his arm stamping toward the trio. "Whuh, whoa!" Len sorta yelled as he was dragged away letting go of Miku.

[mugenginga]

Gakupo seemed to be deep in thought, but suddenly lowered his katana, "If your goal is death, do it yourself," he looked over to Rin and Len and then up to Luka, "Let's leave him. He'll self destruct on his own eventually."

Zero narrowed his eyes and pulled a terribly cliche line, at least in terms of Japanese animation, "Don't you dare look down on me," he growled, walking forward and purposely bumping Luka on his way to clamp his hand on Gakupo's shoulder as the bishounen sheathed his sword.

At least his face had gotten less psychotic. Now he just looked angry and more than a bit annoyed.

(OOC: FF, please get where I'm trying to go with this for plot guidance. XD)

Luka's shoulder burned at Zero's touch, even going through the data in her clothing. But most of all, he had just pushed past her like she was some peasant on the street.

"I don't think there was any reason to do that," Luka said. "In fact, I'm inclined to say that was rather rude. Pushing me like that."

If this didn't rile Gakupo up, she didn't know what would.

[tsifan]

Rin was still sorta pissed, but regained enough calmness to let go of Len and walk back to Miku though walking on Len. Len just layed on the floor for a second there after being droped and was walked over like a doormat which didn't feel the best way as he got up a little frustrated by that.

[mugenginga]

Gakupo felt Zero's hand clamp onto his shoulder and felt his skin almost literally crawl. He jerked his shoulder away in a half circle turn towards Zero, wincing at the burning like sensation. Unlike Luka, Gakupo had quite a bit of skin exposed. And Zero had touched his shoulder. Zero raised an eyebrow at the rash like spot that had appeared on Gakupo's shoulder. It appeared the Vocaloids were a bit more fragile than he had realized. Back at the theater, he had been raging and not suppressing his powers. He had thought that's why Miku reacted the way she did. But a simple touch?

Gakupo looked over to Luka, who had a spot on her clothes that was finishing repairing itself. Her words and the way she was glaring at Zero made the situation clear. Zero had touched her as well. He turned back to Zero, remembering the way the white haired bishounen had stepped up to his katana. His mind thought and he suddenly came upon on something.

"You still want to fight?"

Zero smirked, "Don't tell me you're going to threaten me with that sword of yours again."

Gakupo narrowed his eyes, "No. I don't want to kill you. If you're after death, do it yourself."

"Then what? Fists?" Zero looked bored.

Gakupo pointed out of the store, towards the mall directory, "This place as an arcade. Are you familiar with Dance Dance Revolution?"

"Wait, what?" Zero's smug look spread to completely blank confusion.

(OOC: Pausing so the other characters can react. I think Luka might be in facepalm mode right now.)

[Firebreath Fishslap]

Miku's jaw dropped. Luka was in full facepalm mode now.

"Don't do it, Kamui-san!" Miku cried.

"Dear god, this is idiotic..." Luka said through her facepalm.

"He'll just cheat!"

"Please don't..."

"He can screw with the system! Make it so he can get perfect scores on EVERYTHING!"

"This is NOT the time to reinact your stupid music video..."

[tsifan]

Len just kind of stood there a little dumbfounded by the stupidity of this challenge but then Rin liked the idea and thus yelled out, "I call playing against the winner!" happily and energetically.

[mugenginga]

Gakupo looked a little hurt as he looked at Luka, "You know I agree with those lyrics..."

Zero looked between the members of the group and a laugh burst from his lips. He put his hands on a CD rack to support himself, but was surprised when he saw Gakupo suddenly in front of him. The violet haired bishounen was obviously avoiding physical contact, but he had moved awfully quickly.

Zero stood up, respecting Gakupo's attempt to avoid contact, "If you're serious, I'm fine with it," he turned towards Miku, "And I won't cheat. You're right, I could, but you're all programs and would be aware of it. Besides that, his suggestion seems to have attracted an audience," Zero gestured to the front of the store. Sure enough, a small crowd of people were forming.

[Firebreath Fishslap]

A small crowd of screaming, screeching bishonen fangirls. The kind of fangirls that fawn over any hot guy they see. The kind of fangirls who love CloudXSephiroph yaoi.
Yes, Midori was among them.

Luka facepalmed once again, shaking her head sadly. "This is insane."

Miku walked over to the crowd and materialized a megaphone. "Attention fangirls of hot men who kinda look like women! If you are ready to watch a DDR match of epic proportions, head to the El Pequeno Arcade now! Our competitors will be there in five minutes to have the most shakingly awesome DDR match of all time! And there will be shirtlessness!"

Cue screams from fangirls. Luka sighed.

"What have I gotten myself into... Gakupo, I swear to god, if you lose this match, I will get the fork," Luka said.

[tsifan]

"Yays! This will be sooo funnn! Right Len?" Rin kind of sqealed out turning to Len. "Uh, right..." Len replied sweatdroping a bit.
