Ahh! I woke up this morning, feeling relaxed after having a dream that a cute girl cosplaying Kaito kissed me shyly on the lips in a waiting room. How freaking cute~! xD

I woke up feeling relaxed, with Kaito's "Tsukeru yo" song playing in my head, and *this* story in my head. Wait... wait, what? I get the first two things, but how is the third thing related? Dx Well, they're all three about Kaito, so... I guess... o.0

Though, as I sit down to type this out, I get the feeling that I am sure to get some serious hate for this particular story. I haven't even begun get, but I already feel guilty about what I've done to Kaito.

Kaito: Master... why?! **eyes wobble pathetically**

Oh! Kaito! You're talking to me again! That makes me so happy.

Kaito: I hate it when you do bad things to me, Master!

Oh, it's okay, it's okay. I didn't put snuff in the title, after all, did I? *gentle smile*

Kaito: THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL BETTER DX

Shhh...

...

"Hee... hehehe!" Rin's cute, bubbly laugh echoed around the room. Master paused in the doorway, smiling indulgently to himself, and peeking into the room to see his new, adorable, blonde-haired female Vocaloid chatting together with his other Vocaloid... The lovely bluenette, Master's only other Vocaloid and his utter, utter favourite.

Kaito... Master smiled happily to himself as he watched the light play on his beloved Vocaloid male's shining hair. Kaito's mouth moved upwards in a beautiful, heartrending, blindingly beautiful smile. Master's own mouth twisted upwards in response, and he began to walk into the room to join his Vocaloids.

They hadn't noticed Master yet, and Kaito suddenly reached his hand out to Rin's face, wiping something off of her cheek with his thumb, gently. Master's eyes widened and he stared at Kaito's hand touching Rin's face.

'No. No, no no. No, Kaito.' Master's eyes couldn't break away, they bulged slightly, and a sweatdrop rolled down Master's back as he watched in abject silence. 'Don't touch anyone other than me. Why are you touching her? Why are you touching her?' Master could feel something rising from the pit of his belly, and the feeling was a dark feeling.

'You can't... Kaito... not someone other than Master. Not someone other than me,' Master was only surfacely aware of his thoughts continuing to run in the background of his mind. Master's body felt suddenly cold, his face felt suddenly numb. Master opened his lips to speak, and his lips felt numb as well, but the words came out, and neither of his Vocaloids seemed to realize that there was something very wrong going on.

"What are you two up to?" Master's smooth tenor voice asked, and Rin and Kaito moved their eyes to notice Master standing nearby, with twin smiles on their faces. Kaito's hand dropped from Rin's cheek.

"Just chatting about our favourite songs, Master," Kaito spoke in pleasant reply, his head tilted slightly, adorably, and Master's insides twisted and churned, his desire to have Kaito only look at him clenching his muscles. Master visibly tried to relax the tension in his body.

"Master, are you okay?" Rin's cute little voice piped up. She was looking at Master with an expression of vague concern. Master formed the parody of a smile on his face, and it seemed to work, because Rin smiled back, albiet a little unnervedly, sensing something strange in Master's smile this time.

"Rin. Yes... Rin, could you go to the store, for Master, actually," Master slowly replied, his brain sluggishly working as he struggled to calm himself and appear normal. Master knew suddenly what he had to do. But he needed to get Rin out of the house for a while, to do it.

"Sure, Master!" Rin beamed with unexpected pride at being the one asked to run errands this time. Usually, ever since Rin had come home, Master had only asked Kaito to do things for him. Rin felt pleased with herself that she now had Master's trust enough to run to the store for him. "What is it you want me to buy from the store?"

"I will make you a list," Master quickly replied, and walked to the table, grabbing a pen and paper, and scribbling a number of different things onto it. Master straightened his body and handed the list, and his wallet, to Rin. Her blue eyes scanned the list briefly, to make sure she didn't have any questions.

"There's a lot of different things on here, Master," Rin's voice sounded a little unsure of herself as she read it. "I'll have to go to several different stores. Is that okay? It might take a while."

"That's fine, that's fine, Rin. Don't feel like you have to rush," Master said, then quickly tacked on, "Just make sure you get exactly what I have written down, even if it takes a little longer to find. Okay?"

Rin smiled back, looked down at the list again, still feeling a bit unsure, but... wanting to do her best. Rin suddenly nodded, and smiled again, with her usual great energy. "Okay, Master! I will go right now!"

With that, Rin flounced out of the room. Kaito and Master could hear a commotion by the door and a sudden slamming sound as Rin ran out of the house, clutching the list to herself in excitement. Kaito grinned to himself at the little blonde's energy, and ran his hand through his shining blue hair.

Master's eyes followed Kaito's hand's movement hungrily.

"Kaito, there is something I want you to do for me, as well," Master said softly, and Kaito's attention returned to his Master. Master's face looked a little pale, and he was breathing a bit erratically.

'Maybe Rin was right,' Kaito thought to himself briefly in concern, 'Master does seem a little strange today. Maybe he is coming down with a cold or something.' But Kaito put on a friendly expression and nodded to Master.

"Good, good, Kaito. Come with me." Master turned and walked from the room. Kaito obediently followed as they walked down the hallway.

Master led him into a room that Kaito hadn't had cause to enter before this. It was white, clean, and sparse. There was little furniture in the room, save a partially reclined chair with hard-looking cushions on it, and armrests that had some sort of straps attached to them.

"Go ahead and sit down, there, Kaito," Master said, in that same, quiet, almost monotone voice.

Kaito glanced Master's way again, his face looking concerned. Kaito did as Master asked, however, and sat down in the chair. The cushions were indeed as uncomfortable as they had looked. Kaito shifted his weight slightly, trying to get a little more comfortable.

Master walked over to Kaito and placed his arm on the armrest. As Master began to put the straps in place, effectively tying Kaito down, Kaito protested. "What are you doing, Master?"

"I need to do a little upgrade, Kaito. Just keep your arms in place there, as I put these restraints onto you." Master wouldn't be persuaded, and Kaito allowed Master to tighten the restraints on first one of his arms, then the other, feeling a growing feeling of concern blossoming in his stomach.

"Why do you need restraints on me to perform an update, or maintenance, on me, Master? You have never had to restrain me before." Kaito felt unsettled, and tested against his restraints, but they were quite tight, and he couldn't move his arms away from the chair at all. Kaito's fingers clenched and unclenched and he regarded Master with a worried expression.

Master chuckled lightly, but there was something weird about the tone of his voice. Kaito watched as Master turned, opened a drawer in a nearby metal cabinet, and pulled out a few items. A roll of bandages. What looked like a... big wire cutter? A scalpel... Kaito felt a cold sweat breaking out on his body. What was going on?

"I saw what you did, back there, you know," Master said conversationally in that same, weird tone of voice. Kaito frowned in confusion. What was it he had done?

"Touching Rin like that. That was very naughty, Kaito. You belong to me, not to Rin. You should only ever touch me. Only me, your Master, Kaito. But I know what to do, to fix it. To make sure that you never again, touch anyone else, other than me." Master smiled a half-sort of smile, his eyes glinting in the light in a peculiar way. Kaito's alarm was growing exponentially by the minute.

Master trailed a finger lightly over Kaito's hand, tracing the outlines of the edges of Kaito's fingers. It tingled, and Kaito's hands clenched slightly against the sensation. Master smiled a dark, gleeful smile to himself, and pulled his hand back, picking up the scalpel once again.

"What, what are you going to do, Master?" Kaito stuttered, his eyes fixed on the small, shining, sharp blade that Master was wielding. Master didn't answer, but his hand moved the scalpel to the side of Kaito's wrist. Kaito's eyes widened, suddenly utterly terrified.

Master began to make a cut, pressing the scalpel strongly into Kaito's flesh, seperating it. Kaito felt the pain burning, burning, and he yelled, tried to get away, tried anything, but he was strapped into the chair too well, and his restraints wouldn't let him do much more than try to twist his wrists away and clench, and unclench his hands.

Blood ran down Kaito's arm as he struggled, his blue eyes bulging, taking huge panic breaths one moment, screaming and kicking his legs out in front of him the next moment. Master was slightly off to the side, and avoided all of the kicking as he tried to focus on making clean, surgical cuts, despite all of Kaito's drama.

When Kaito moved his wrists and tried to fight Master, the cuts were sloppy, ragged, unclean. But Master just kept his focus and cut, cut, deeper and deeper.

With the deeper cuts separating his flesh and muscle, Kaito's pain increased, until he was screaming at the top of his lungs. When Master's scalpel touched against the side of Kaito's bone, Kaito felt a white explosion of agony in his head that made him black out for a brief moment.

Master pulled the scalpel away and picked up the thing that resembled a large wire cutter with his bloody hands. Kaito's head flopped to its side and he stared in horror at the scene in front of him. He tried to move his hands, tried to fight, but one of his hands wouldn't respond. He couldn't move his fingers. Kaito stared at the bloody mess of that hand with sheer terror in his eyes.

Master opened the cutters and probed Kaito's torn flesh apart.

"No," Kaito breathed, his chest choking him. "Master!"

Master smiled down at Kaito and closed the cutters with great force, crushing and breaking Kaito's first arm bone apart. Kaito tried to scream, but it choked in his throat from the pain that was so intense, that instead of screaming, instead of vomiting from the pain, his body relaxed suddenly into a slump, and Kaito fell unconscious.

"Don't worry, Kaito," Master murmured comfortingly, "After this, you won't touch anyone else with these beautiful hands, ever again."

Master moved the cutters once more, aiming for the second bone in Kaito's wrist. As it crushed and broke cleanly apart, Kaito's hand fell away from his lovely body, attached only by a few stray strands of muscle tissue. Master smiled happily and used the scalpel to cut those last few stubborn strands, seperating Kaito from his beautiful hand.

"These hands belong only to me," Master murmured and quickly moved to staunch the gushing flow of blood from Kaito's veins. His unconscious Vocaloid was pale already from the bloodloss, and there was still one more hand left to go. Master smiled happily and pressed his cheek against the palm of Kaito's dismembered hand. "Only to me, from now on."

Whistling a suddenly cheery tune, Master went back to work, ignoring the bloodstain on his cheek that started to dry into a powdery, dark red color.
