Due to me being the grammar perfectionist I'm turning into, this entire drabble series is going through reform at the moment. All spelling and grammar mistakes will be fixed. Some words may be added or dropped, but the drabbles remain virtually the exact same save for these revisions.

This little beauty is based upon Matsuwa, the version sung by Kaito and Gakupo. If you have heard it, you may know that it is played through twice, the second time making their voices incredibly high. I always thought maybe the girls were supposed to sing that part, so...

Kaito was the first one to collapse, his face turning a slight blue and sweat beginning to drip off his brow. His hand flew to his throat, trying to rub away at the soreness that hurt so much.
Beside him, Gakupo fell to his knees, coughing slightly. Surely this had to be a joke! Trying to sing so high had strained his vocal chords to the point where he could barely breathe now!
"M...Master...Perhaps we...We can take a break?" Gakupo gasped.
"You must get this song down." Their master remarked rather bluntly.
"We're trying our best! B-But...Singing that high is just impossible, Master!"
Standing up and wobbling slightly, Kaito felt a pang of dizziness spin around his head, and he collapsed back down on the floor.
Had they really become that drained simply from a bit of overworking?
He only watched from the floor as Gakupo stood and attempted yet again to sing, trying with all his might to hit those high notes.
"Watashi Mat-su-wa..."
With that, he too fell back onto the floor. Draped over one another, they could hear the exasperated sigh of Master from nearby.
Clearly, this was not what was expected of them.
"Both of you take a break then, if this is really so hard. But I expect you both back in here tomorrow to try again. Do you understand that?"
All that came in return was the whine of "Yes, Master..."
Singing the first part of the song was easy, oh yes. Perfect even. But that high part...
Why had the girls backed out on them? Was it on purpose? Did they think this funny?
They were men! And while many men can sing in high voices, this was just pure foolishness to attempt.
Because of this, when Master informed them the very next day that their poor voices would be spared with a little voice enhancement program here and there, together they made a pact to get back at the girls at one point or another. Oh, yes they would...
"Ne...Pass me that bag of throat drops..."
