Revenge part 1

Revenge of the Silver Workaholic Part 1

It’s been almost a week now, since the Kenshin Dell incident ended. The rest of the Vocaloids have returned to their normal lives, except for one that spends his time in front of his laptop. It was Dell Honne, and as he continues his work in his room, his memories of the past week never left him, specially the fact that Neru Akita is actually the one orchestrated the whole event.
“That girl...how dare she make fun of me and my sister... My mind screams REVENGE but I don’t have enough time to spare for that. I have a workload to finish...” he thought as he continues to type his report. That evening, he went outside for a trip to a bar, as his sister quietly sleeps in her room. The night was a bit cold, with only subtle warmth coming from his lit cigarette. He entered the place and saw Mikuo, Akaito and Meito on a table. “Hmm...” A menacing grin forms on Dell’s face.  “Nice… nice… I could use this.” he evilly thought.  Approaching the three, he overheard them sharing their own plights.
“Man, I need to get a job right now, or else Miku-chan will bomb me. Upcoming songs are aplenty for the others but not a single one for us...” Mikuo laments as he downs his glass.
“Me too, seems that they enjoy Kaito singing girly songs these days... I tried, but FL-san told me it was too high pitched for me...” Akaito leaned his back to his chair. Meito on the other hand kept his silence as he downs his share.
“How about you Meito-san, any issues?”
“Meiko asked me to help her practice a song so no problems for me right now...”
“Our future looks bleak...” Akaito sighed.
“Maybe I can get you guys a helping hand, what do you say?” Dell butted in, as Mikuo ushered a seat for him, and called a waiter for him.
“Dell, it’s been a long time...how’s the job?” Meito asked.
“Tough as ever, I feel everyday my life slips slowly out of my body, but enough of that.  I want you three to work for me.”
“REALLY!? At last, work! We’re all ears Dell-san.” Mikuo replied.
Dell then placed a picture on the table. “She is our target. I want you to take care of her for me...”
The three looked and reacted. “...the f*%k!  That’s Neru Akita! What did she do to you Honne-san?” Mikuo asked trying to take the picture away from Akaito.
“What’s the deal with her Dell? Looks like we really missed something...” Meito replied as the two continued to struggle for the picture.
“You don’t need to know that.” Dell’s face changed as if remembering something unpleasant. “Let’s just say she did something to me and my sister that I can’t forgive. For that, I want revenge.” he emphasized revenge on his sentence.
“Hmm... Looks like you have a sneaky mouse under your nose, Dell? So what’s the plan?” Meito inquired, as Akaito tries to grab the picture of Neru, from Mikuo.
“Stop tearing the picture! I want to see it too Mikuo!’ Akaito wailed.
“Sure, you can have her!” Mikuo gave way and the red guy grabbed it and stared like a cat to a delicious fish on his paw.
“Ah, her glamorous aura, the cuteness of her angry eyes and her yellow hair that’s sooooo long and silky...the girl of my dreams...” he said lovingly as he hugged the picture.
“You’re a really weird guy Akaito; just like your brother... anyway, what do you want us to do  Dell-san?” Mikuo said.
Dell gave a smile as the waiter came in and served them another order. “I want you to abduct her and bring her to my warehouse not far from here. This is the map of the place...” he places a piece of paper on the table that outlines the location of his warehouse.
Meito grabbed the map and stared intently at it while Mikuo and Akaito happily chug down their drinks. “Are you planning to make us criminals Dell? This is illegal...” Meito inquired, as he returns the map on the table.
“Kidnapping someone is a crime. But it’s not like I’m going to kill her. I just want to teach her a lesson.  But if you don’t want to do it, I’ll go find someone else.” Dell said this while taking out his check book and a pen. “I was planning on paying each one of you this much.” Showing the check he just wrote on. “You guys need money right?” he says this sarcastically. The three other guys looked at each other and weighed the gravity of the situation.
“You don’t have to worry about anything.  I’ve got it all planned out. Nobody will be able to pin this on us. All you have to do is bring her to my warehouse. I want it done by tomorrow night, if not I’ll go look for someone else. Too bad I can’t stay long and elaborate; I have some things to take care of.” Dell stares at their eyes as he talked.
“Well then, if you’re game, give me a call at this number before noon tomorrow. No call from you means you’re not interested.” Dell left the bar leaving his contact number to them. As soon as he was out of sight, they paid for all the food and drinks they consumed and walked out of the bar. From there, they started talking to each other.
“I know it’s wrong… But he’s right, we need the money...” Akaito broke the silence as they walk along the way returning to their house.
“I also want to get back at Neru. But I don’t want our siblings to know about it. I’m going to grab that opportunity...” Mikuo said.
“I understand Mikuo. She really made a mess over everybody right when she arrived. I was also thinking of retaliating in Meiko’s behalf...” Meito replied.
The two then stopped walking and said in chorus “You’re going too Meito-san?!”
“Of course...” Meito replied as he continued to walk.
Back at his house, Dell carefully plans his revenge. “I’ll make you regret what you did to us Neru Akita...you’ll cry blood for this one... HAAAAAHAHAHAHA!” as he continued to work.
The next day, everything ran as normal. At their room in the Vocaloid residence, Miku and Mikuo were happily chatting with each other. “It’s good to have you back home Nii-chan! How was your vacation?” she asked as they playfully hit each other with leeks.
“It was great! I miss singing though, the problem is that FL-chan doesn’t have any songs for us right now...I was thinking that you’ll bomb me for being a bum here...” the guy replied.
“I would never do that to my Nii-chan!” she happily replied.
Meanwhile, Akaito and Kaito were on the top floor. “You still like to eat “Häagen-Dazs” ice cream. I heard that’s too expensive for your means. I wonder how Meiko manages to tolerate your expenses…”
“Mind your own business Akaito. I hear that you’ve been flirting with a girl while you’re away.” Kaito replied as he eats.
“At least I’m with a girl, not like you that likes young boys. I heard that Len nearly avoided you because you gave him too much attention. I’m now hinting you’re planning with Gakupo-san too!” Akaito giggled, causing a minor tussle with the latter.
“Now you’re having it!” Kaito grabs Akaito’s head in an armlock and noogies him.
At Meiko’s room, Meito and Meiko were practicing when the girl noticed his silence. “Problems, Meito?” she asked as she placed her song copy on the table.
“I-it’s nothing Meiko...I’m just thinking of something...” he replied still thinking his about decision last night.
“It’s not normal for you to think too much about something. You can share it with me...” she said as she leaned beside him.
Meito closed his eyes and said, “I’m going to do something big tonight with some friends. I might not come back until tomorrow morning... I’m telling this so you won’t be worried...”
“I’m guessing it’s a big gig. You really don’t change Meito. it’s all right... i’ll always wait for you. So enough of this and let’s continue practice!” she replied.
After their activities, Mikuo, Akaito and Meito gathered at the rooftop of the Vocaloid residence, as they made sure that they are the only ones in the premises.
“So, Mikuo, are you going to play along?” Akaito asked.
“I’ve decided. I’m going.” Mikuo replied.
“You, Meito?” Akaito asked him next.
“For the money, I guess. Let’s do it.” Meito said, albeit a little hesitant.
Akaito placed a call on Dell’s cellphone, to accept his offer.
“Yes?” Dell replied from the other end.
“Dell-san? Akaito here, we have decided.”
“Ah yes, from last night. So, what’s it gonna be?”
“Give us the game plan.”
“Excellent.” Dell’s grin reached from ear to ear. “You won’t regret it, I assure you. Meet me outside the bar by 3pm for briefing.”
Later at 3pm, Dell was there, ready to meet the three. He had a large plastic bag at hand.
“I’m glad you’ve decided to take up the offer.” Dell said. “Now come with me.”
Dell led them to an empty alley. Afterwards, he dug from the plastic bag and produced a little medicine tablet wrapped in a clear plastic sachet. “This is the pill you’ll need to take her down.” He explained. Then, from his pocket, he gave them the map. “And this is where you’ll take her.”
Night came and in the same bar where Honne met the three, Haku was drinking alone at the bartender’s area when she spotted Akita on one of the tables. “Hmm, isn’t she underage to try out drinks...? Hmm… maybe she’s waiting for somebody...” she said to herself as the shakes her glass. After half an hour Mikuo, Akaito and Meito found Neru sipping her drink on the table with her almost trademark-like snob look.
“There she is...” Meito started.
“Alright. Mikuo, you spike her drink while I distract her. Meito, you’re the look out. The moment she collapses, we'll say she got wasted and we’re taking her home”. Akaito ordered and hands Mikuo the tiny package from awhile ago.
“Sounds good...” Meito replied.
“All right, let's do it.” Mikuo said.
Neru immediately notices the three approaching, and becomes more of a snob, glancing away from them. “What do you three stooges want?” she started as Akaito took the lead and sat on the chair near her,
“A proposition for you. We're in need of a sassy and snob girl for the video we're making.”
Neru then gave them a disdaining look, “Oh no. I'm not doing any of those sorts of thing. You know me; I only go for things I like.”
Akaito tried to convince her with his eyes and smile. “Oh come on.” He leans closer, perhaps a little more uncomfortably closer to her. “You got fans too, you know. And they're not the big fat slobs that you hate.”
As the talk progresses she did not notice Mikuo already slid something in her drink.
Quite irritated, she replied, “The answer is NO and that's final.” as she sips her drink.
Akaito shook his head, “Are you sure about that? It'ld be a shame though, the role fits you pretty well.”
“Do I have to make myself cle--- aughh... shit... I think I had too much cocktail... ughh....” she moaned as she clutches her head. She felt dizzy.
“He..hey, you okay Akita?” Meito reacted and tried to support her.
Neru waved her hand,”Do... do I look like... augh... arggghh....” she sluggishly replied and collapsed on the table.
“Neru? You ok?” Meito feigned concern and shook her shoulders, but she has lost consciousness.
“I told her that concoction was strong for her.” The bartender commented.
“Whoa! Hey guys, let’s get Neru home. Oh, we should buy some hangover medicine on the way.” Akaito loudly spoke and nods to Meito and Mikuo, signaling their secret sign. Because of their sleek and fast action, a commotion never took place.
Haku looked on and shook her head. “I knew it. She’s just too young for that.”
The people politely gave way as Akaito led the way, with Meito carrying Neru in a bridal carry.  
The guard of the bar helped them up to the parking lot. “The nearest pharmacy here is about a kilometer or so. Well, I'm not sure if it's still open at this time. Good luck, and hurry!” he said to the four.
“Got it...” Akaito replied. However, unbeknownst to them all, The 3 had other plans for Neru and it isn't anything like medical attention...
