Chapter Text
"Miss, I don’t think that’s a valid reason for you to enter”, said the lady behind the desk harshly. She had long chestnut hair, wearing a white blazer and a light blue dress shirt. She was probably in her early to mid-thirties. Her brain did not recognize the girl in front of her, wearing a nurse outfit that kind of resembled what the other nurses in the hospital wore. Well, the girl’s outfit looked more like a dress that ended at her knees. She had knee-high boots that were pink to match the pink outfit. The dress had white buttons that ran down to the bottom. The girl had a nurse hat on top of her turquoise hair. Plus, the girl also had two long pigtails to top it all off.
“How is it not a valid reason?” Miku’s tone sounded genuinely confused.
“How is singing to the patients, charity work? If you are not donating anything to this establishment.” Miku just stood there in the hospital's waiting room, pondering about what her next response would be since she didn't think about her plan. The plan was to dress as a nurse and sing to patients. Her mind was completely blank until she got an epiphany.
“I am donating, I’m donating my singing voice so the patients can feel better, so they can stop thinking about all the negative outcomes that can happen,” Miku said while smiling. The lady just sat there and looked at her, unconvinced. She didn’t want to deal with anyone right now since she had a bad night and she was really in a mood. “ Yeah, but I think I have to ask you to leave if you are not here to visit anyone. Please and thank you." The lady gave a fake smile and put up a sign that said go to the next window. As soon as she did that, she got up and left. Miku pouted and turned discontented. As soon as she reached the exit, she stopped and stood there for a second. Miku turned and went back to the waiting room and decided to take a seat. Her eyes moved left to right and saw no one near. It took a couple of minutes before Miku got up and headed towards the door where people can visit the patients. The hallway looked pretty empty. Where were all the doctors and nurses she thought? Miku continued to wander around until she picked a room by random. She stopped beside the doorway and thought about how she should enter. Once she decided what she was going to do, she took a deep breath and walked in.
“Hello patient! I hope that you feel great!” she exclaimed. Miku had a big smile on her face. She looked overwhelmingly excited. The patient was a middle-aged man. He was just resting peacefully until he heard footsteps. He hated the idea of being disturbed during his rest. He groaned in annoyance when he saw Miku being all cheery. Ugh, he thought.
“That’s strange I didn’t press the button, and you’re not even my nurse, why are you here?” The guy questioned.
“I’m glad you asked, I’m here to make you feel better. By singing a song to you.”
The guy froze in confusion until he decided to reply. “How the hell is a song going to make me feel better, is it going to heal me so I can leave. Or is it going to make me so damn happy that I’m going to kill myself? What kind of nurse are you?"
He must not recognize me, Miku thought. She ignored the guy’s rude comment and started to do what she came here for.
“ I know times may be tough, but don’t you worry everything will get better, You just have to stay tough and fight for the better”.
“Jesus Christ, she's singing.”
Miku was doing her job until the real nurse of the patient walked in for a check-up. The nurse had long flowing auburn hair and wore a similar outfit as Miku, but her outfit was a two-piece instead of a one-piece. She was confused to see Miku standing right in front of the guy's bed and singing a song. She also didn't seem to recognize that the girl was the Hatsune Miku. She just assumed that she was new and probably got the wrong room.
“ Oh, Hello you must be new.” The nurse said while giving an awkward smile and confused expression. At that moment, Miku froze and stopped singing her beautiful song to the guy who looked like he would rather pull the cord than listen to Miku sing.
“Huh?”
“Here come, I’ll show you what your job is.” The nurse was motioning Miku to go follow her with her hand. Miku had no idea what to do, so she just decided to follow the nurse and did not mention the fact that she doesn’t work here.

“ Come on Len! Help me memorize this song for the next cover concert.” Rin pleaded in a whiny tone. Rin had just entered Len's room that was right next door to her room. Len had just got done watching a music video that mainly consisted of half-naked girls dancing around. Which did not relate to the song. Since the song was about how sick this one type of car was. Len had been laying down on his back when he saw Rin. He forgot that they had another cover concert coming up. A cover concert is when the group cover songs from other artists live in concert. Crypton started doing those concerts because the fans thought it would be cool to hear them sing songs from other artists. Like having Miku sing Dance Chimp in concert. These concerts became so popular with the fans, that Crypton wants them to do another.
“ Fine what’s the song called? “ Len sighed.
“ It’s called Jerk It Off.“
“So you’re memorizing it this time, not like the other time. When you had to sing What does the turtle do”.
***
The audience was screaming and yelling at the top of their lungs. Rin had just finished singing her song and was getting ready for the next one.
“Thank you! ”
“ Whoo!” the audience was still yelling.
“Okay, band! What’s the next song?”
The band started to play the tune for the next song that Rin didn't know the lyrics to. The audience then cheered and Rin started to feel nervous. The audience then began to sing the song while Rin just stood there on the stage being clueless with her face turning red as a tomato.
“ Birds eat worms, dogs fetch bones, cows eat grass.”
***
“Of course, that was so embarrassing.” Rin felt ashamed.
“Yeah that the fans knew all the words and you didn’t.”
“Well, it’s not my song.”
“So."
“LEN!”
“Okay, I’ll stop, so let’s start practicing.” Len giggled. Exactly one hour had passed, it mainly consisted of Len making fun of Rin. Which resulted in Rin getting angry with him. Then it leads to both of them arguing with each other. They were so caught up in the argument that both of the twins forgot what they were supposed to be doing. The fight ended when Rin glanced at the paper she had with the lyrics and remembered why she came to Len’s room in the first place. It took them a couple of minutes to get back on track.
“You know, let's stop for today. Plus I’m still tired from all the arguing." Rin gave a small sigh and sat on the chair near the corner of Len’s bed. While Len was laying on his back and his head was tilted up to face the ceiling.
“Okay, now what?”
“I don’t know, where's Miku?" Rin questioned.
“ Oh, she said that she was going to the hospital and sing to patients. Some shit like that.” After Len was done speaking, he quickly remembered Miku telling him that she was bored and she had come up with an idea. To dress up as a nurse and go do some “charity work” at the hospital. She then told him that she was going to sing to the patients. Len didn’t get how singing to random-ass people she didn’t even know was exactly charity work. He later then realized that wasn’t she already doing that, so were her concerts charity work since she sings to strangers all the time. Len was deep in thought about that logic that he didn’t even notice Rin getting up and sitting on the floor near him.
“ Oh, Why?” Rin asked in confusion. Len’s simple response was giving Rin a shoulder shrug. Then both of the Kagamine twins just sat there staring at each other until they both made a face that meant that they had the same idea.
“Let’s go!” They both exclaimed.
***
Meanwhile back at the hospital, Miku was working as a real nurse. None of the staff knew who she was. There were some patients who seemed to recognize her, but they just thought that she was a cosplayer and was just having fun at her job. Miku did all sorts of tasks, she gave people injections (even though she had zero experience), she helped people fill out forms, helped take physicals. Heck, she even got to witness a surgery taking place. Her next task was to check on this old man to see if he was alright. Well, she was told that the old man was sadly near to dying. The poor old man only had a few days left. Miku had finally reached the room, she looked inside and noticed that the man shared the room with another person. Since there was a curtain in the center. She checked the paper they had given her to see if she got the right room number. Once she confirmed that she was right, she skipped right in.
" Okay sir, I’m here to check to see how you're feeling."
"Well, I’m feeling better than before." The old man smiled when he glanced at her. It wasn't a creepy smile or anything like that, but it was rather a friendly grin. He was glad that she came to see him.
"I’m glad to hear that." Miku was about to leave when she heard someone call her name behind the curtain that divided the old man and the other patient.
" Miku? " There it was again. Miku did recognize the guy's voice. So she slowly crept over to the other side of the curtain. Her eyes opened wide. She was in complete shock to see the person in the bed. It took Miku a couple of seconds to finally speak.
“Kaito? What happened to you?” She sounded concerned.
Kaito closed his eyes and gave a small shy laugh. He was completely embarrassed to tell Miku how he got here. Lying was an option Kaito considered taking. He was going to tell her that he was walking down the street, minding his own business until a group of gang members started to attack him for no real reason. They were probably jealous of Kaito and that’s why they attacked him. Kaito tried fighting back, but he was outnumbered. He did somehow manage to beat up two of the gang members. As soon as he was planning to beat up the others, that’s when the leader hit Kaito’s foot with a baseball bat. The hit was so hard that it caused the bone to shatter. Yeah he thought, that’s what he was going to tell her. “Ha, I ran and slipped when I heard the ice cream truck.” Yeah, he chickened out since Miku knows Kaito too well. She wouldn’t have believed Kaito's story since he didn't how to fight.
“ Ugh, Kaito, Kaito, ( Miku shook her head). “Why didn’t you call me? Does anyone else know about this?
“No... My phone died. Luckily, someone saw me and called the ambulance.” Kaito finally took note that Miku was dressed as a nurse. He also came to question why she was here. Kaito was completely confused.
“Why are you dressed as a nurse? “ Kaito finally asked.
“It's complicated.” Miku sighed. “Well, I have to go back to work now. I will be right back.”
“Okay... wait, what.” Before Kaito could ask any more questions, Miku had already left the room.
***
Rin and Len had already entered the hospital and were looking for Miku. (They somehow managed to enter) Rin was quickly scanning the rooms with her blue eyes to see if she could find her. Len, on the other hand, completely entered the rooms and searched all over. Len got a lot of startled expressions from the people in the room. Did he care? The answer was no. After a while, Len entered a room and saw an old man sleeping and there was a curtain as a divider. He headed towards the curtain and he raised his hand and pulled the curtain aside. Right in front of him was Kaito who was sitting there eating ice cream. Len completely scared Kaito that he jumped a little. Len stormed off and went back to the hallway. Rin was just outside waiting to see if Len found Miku. She then felt someone grab her wrist and then dragged her inside. Right before she could protest, she noticed that it was Len. She wondered why he grabbed her so suddenly. Rin was about to ask until she saw Kaito.
“What happened? “ Both of them questioned.
“Long story, the point is that I broke my foot. What are you two doing here?”
“Miku said she’ll be here to sing to patients,” Len simply answered.
“Why is she dressed as a nurse?”
“She’s dressed as a nurse?” Rin was just as confused as Kaito.
“Yeah, plus she said that she was working, can’t you go to jail if you fake to be a nurse?”
“ Shit man, I don’t know, I just know you can go to jail if you pretend to be a doctor,” Len replied.
While Kaito and Len were discussing, Rin decided to grab her phone so she can call Miku to see where she's hiding. Rin had brought a small dark orange purse with her. She reached for the phone and noticed that her phone was unfortunately dead. Luckily she had brought her charger since Rin was always prepared. People could consider Rin to be like one of those people who have a shelter and a food supply of tuna and water for the zombie apocalypse.
“Hey Len, could you charge my phone? Please and thank you.” Rin grinned.
Len grabbed her phone and charger and walked around the room. He couldn’t seem to find an outlet. Until he reached the area where the old man was, he saw that there was an outlet right next to the man. It contained his cords that were still keeping him alive. Len saw one cable that was for the lamp. So he walked quietly and tried not to disturb the man ( Since the man was still sleeping). He disconnected the cable and plugged in the charger to charge the phone. Once he plugged it in, a beeping sound turned on. It was the beeping sound that determined someone passed. Rin and Kaito also heard it on the other side of the room. Len slowly stood up and just simply stared at the man and at the monitor.
“Len what did you do!?” Rin went to go see what had just happened. She froze with her jaw-dropping to the floor. The man was dead since his body had not been moving.
“OH MY GOD LEN, YOU JUST KILLED THAT INNOCENT MAN! ALL I ASKED FOR YOU TO DO WAS TO CHARGE MY PHONE AND THIS HAPPENS!” Rin was freaking out.
“Well, I must have disconnected the wrong cable, plus how did you know that the man was innocent. He could have been a murder, a robber, a rapist, a furry... The possibilities are endless, Hell he was going to die always, I just sped things up, I basically did him a favor." Len turned to face the man who was a corpse by now and whispered: “ You can thank me later.”
“ Wow you’re 14 and you’re already going to jail.”
“Psst, I’m not going to jail..not if I get caught.”
Right after Len said that they both heard footsteps coming close outside in the hallway. Rin and Len got startled and started freaking out. Len quickly disconnected Rin’s phone and charger, and both of them noticed that there was another door. They sprinted towards it and saw that the door leads to another patient’s room. Kaito saw them run and started to feel nervous, he quickly finished his ice cream, laid back, and closed his eyes to give the illusion that he was sleeping. The blonde nurse stepped right in and was in shock. She headed towards the man and noticed that his cord had been unplugged. Her body was trembling at the thought, so she searched the room and didn’t find anything except Kaito.
***
Miku was in the break room with the other nurses relaxing. Today was a day of firsts. Miku did things she had never done in her life. Well her plan failed. She only got to sing to one patient and that was it. Miku sighed and looked at the door when a nurse with blonde hair came rushing in.
“ Oh my god, guys the patient in room A17 died... He still had a couple of days left.” her voice was shaky Miku noted.
“ Maybe it was his time.” a male brunet nurse responded.
“ But, I did notice that the cord was disconnected since the last time I entered.”
“ Do you think someone unplugged it?”
“ Ha, no it was probably the ghost of the future. The nurse said with sarcasm. "Of course, somebody unplugged it. What kind of question is that.” The nurse was still shaking until she calmed herself down a little.
A17, that’s the room that Kaito is in, Miku recalled. "That’s awful, who would do that?"
" Well, there are some sick people out there who kill just for fun. You know like The Joker." The male brunet talked like if he was giving a word of wisdom or a tip of advice.
" Should I call the police, there was a murder that had taken place." The blonde nurse said.
Police, the word that made Miku start to sweat out of guilt. What if the police found out who she was and see that she wasn't a real nurse. Miku can't serve sentences in prison. What would that say about her, she can't be like Justin Bieber. "The cops! Is that really necessary" Miku sounded worried.
“ I do think is necessary, we don’t know who the killer is.”
At that very second, Miku shifted her eyes at the clock that was right on top of the threshold. “Well, look at the time, my break is over.” Miku got up so suddenly that she knocked over the coffee the male brunet had. She then bolted out of the room and the other nurses gave startled looks. I have to go to talk to Kaito, Miku thought while her legs were pacing so fast. Finally, she reached the room where Kaito was. “Today was surely something, “ Miku talked so that only she could hear.
“ Kaito... Kaito.”
Kaito still had his eyes shut and reopened him when he heard Miku’s soft tender voice call out for him. He made a soft smile when he was Miku standing near him.
“ Hey, do you happen to know who killed the guy next to you?”
Since Kaito didn’t murder the guy, he wasn’t going to make up a story about the same gang members who broke his foot, were the ones who killed him. He just decided to tell sweet Miku the truth. “Oh, it was Len, he accidentally unplugged the wrong cable so he could charge Rin’s phone.” His face read “ what are we going to do”.
Miku took a great deep breath and exhaled.” Just great, today is going perfect.” she mumbled. “Now the cops are coming.”
“The cops are coming!”
Miku tsked in frustration and gave a huge big old sigh. “Kaito can we just go home?”
“We’re in luck since the doctor said I can leave now. Since the injury wasn’t that severe.”
“Good I’ll call Rin and Len.”
Miku grabbed her phone from her pocket and called Rin. She didn’t pick up, ugh great, she thought. She gave Rin one more shot and nothing. Why wasn’t she answering Miku gave up and decided to call Len. Unlike Rin (Well her phone was still dead) Len answered on the second ring.
“ Doorbell sound, who’s there, Well it’s the one and only Len fucking Kagamine!”
“Where are you?”
“We're just wandering around the hallway.”
“Okay just come to Kaito’s room so we can go home.”
It took the Kagamine twins exactly twenty-three minutes to arrive at the room. Before their arrival, Miku was pacing back and forth. She felt that her heart would rip out of her chest. She just couldn’t be patient. Miku felt that Rin and Len were taking forever to get to the room. Once Rin and Len finally got there, they helped Kaito to get ready to leave. The doctor made Kaito use crutches and told him that he will have them for about six weeks. Kaito already hated the idea of using crutches. The four of them barely made it to the exit (which leads to the waiting room) until they heard someone behind yell.
“ Hey, You, singing chick! I just found out that you don’t work here and that you aren’t even a nurse!” It was the first nurse Miku encountered. The one that had long flowy auburn hair.
“Ummm,” Miku replied nervously.
“ Police!” The nurse turns around and runs away, shouting at the top of her lungs. As soon as she said that, the four of them heard police sirens from a distance. They all looked at each other with scared expressions. Len made a gesture that meant that they should just run and hide from the police. They all agreed and ran while Kaito struggled to move fast on his crutches.

“ Hey, Rin and Len, how did you two get in? If they rejected me?”
“ Oh, We just waited until she left, and we snuck in.” Len nodded and smirked as if he was a genius.
