A/N: My amount of "kun" and "san" that was used in the last chapter was so annoying, so there's gonna be less of that. If you want me to go back to it just tell me ^^
Finally, the two boys reach the shared house of Kaito and Meiko. Len rings the doorbell and a mature voice yells through the door,
"Kaito, did you forget your key again?!"
Opening the door is Meiko. She's in her Whistle Module - a brown bikini with a red bow in the middle along with a pair of brown leggings. She has long, yellow socks on and an unzipped white jacket with orange stripes on it.

Len blushes a bit when she opens the door, quickly looking at the floor and holding Kaito's hand by pure reflex. Now he's blushing, too.
"Oh, heya Len!" Meiko waves. She's being oddly cute in an outfit like that.
"Hey uh... Meiko-san... we have a favor..." Len trails off.
"Yeah? What do ya' need?"
"I um... I lost my voice... and I can't module change..." Kaito sighs. He finally makes eye contact with her. She hugs him.
"I... how...?" Meiko whispers, continuing to hug him.
"I don't know... but I think my files are corrupted."
Len and Meiko both are shocked at this statement.
"You never told me that, Kaito!" Len yells.
"S-sorry!" Kaito flinches. "I just... we need to save my files... before they're lost. Broken. Non-fixable."
"What can I do to help?" Meiko asks. Her 'older sister' side is kicking in.
If you didn't know, they aren't related. Meiko simply looks at Kaito as a younger brother. They're only a few years apart, but she still takes care of him and looks out for him.
"Could you drive us? To Master's house?" Len asks.
"M-Master's house..." Meiko trails off. She looks away and sighs. "If it'll help Kaito... I can take y'all."
The two cheer. Meiko looks down at her feet.
"...But I do have plans tonight with Haku, Gakupo, and Luka..."
"What kind of plans?" Kaito asks.
"...It's... a party we're going to. So either you two are gonna have to come with us, or I'll drop you off nearby."
"Uh... well... we'll figure it out..."
Meiko blushes a bit and looks at them.
"Then let's go!" She cheers, jumping...
The two boys look at their feet again. "M-M-Meiko..." Kaito trails off.
"...C-could you zip up y-your jacket?" Len finishes.
