I rubbed my eyes and sat up. Half-asleep, I turned to Gakupo to wake him up, "huh?" I blinked a few times trying to clear up my vision, "did you cut your hair?" I felt short and spiky hair.I squinted at the pink hedgehog-looking ball, "did you dye your hair too?"

I stared at the ball still half-asleep. Pink hair… short… hedgehog… Yuma… I smiled, finally finding out who it was. But… wasn't Gakupo here? I spun myself around only to find Gakupo on the other side of the bed hugging my waist like he always does. I smiled fakely, "eh?"

If I thought correctly… the two never liked each other, yet… Gakupo was on the side of the bed that was near the wall, and now Yuma is there… did he move for Yuma? I shook my head in denial, there is no way he would do that…

"Mph…" Gakupo hugged me tighter, burrowing his head onto my lap. I sighed and stroked his long hair. I looked at Yuma who was facing the wall. They were both fast asleep still. What should I do? I need to make breakfast for the others…

"Kaito…" Yuma mumbled. He rubbed his eyes tiredly, "mornin'…" Yuma sat up and yawned.

"G-good morning…" I smiled. Ah, one woke up… I glanced over at Gakupo. He was also waking up. He pushed his body up with his arms. I smiled at Gakupo, tilting my head to the side, "good morning."

Gakupo sat up pushing his bangs back sighing. Gakupo's hair was all tangled… did he roll around a lot when sleeping? I shuffled my way off the bed and grabbed a brush. I walked back over to Gakupo, "turn," I commanded.

"Yeah, yeah…" Gakupo scratched his head and turned his back towards me.

"Yuma, go ready yourself," I glanced at Yuma who had laid back on the bed, hugging a pillow.

"I dun' want to go ta school…" Yuma rolled around on the bed, still hugging the pillow.

I sighed, brushing Gakupo's hair, "if you don't listen to me, then I'm going to ask Kiyo-kun to tell you what to do."

Yuma sprung up, throwing the pillow into Gakupo's face, running out of my room "I know, I know! I'm going!"

Gakupo stared blankly at the wall, half-asleep, "Kaito…"

"Hmm?" I sang happily.

"Don't walk to school with them today…" Gakupo mumbled.

"Why? Are you ok?" I leaned over Gakupo.

Gakupo looked up at me. His eyes were filled with concern, "don't go…"

I stared at him. What should I do? I smiled, "are you worried about me? It's ok… I still want to go though…"

Gakupo face, from a blank expression, turned into a pained one. His eyes shot deep through me… I can't stand it… to see that expression of his.

I have to make him feel better… I smiled, "It's ok… if you're with me… anywhere I am, I will always feel at ease…"

"Kaito…" Gakupo raised his hand up and touched my face lightly, "I…"

"Gakupo?" I leaned over a little more so I could see his face better.

Gakupo turned my head towards him, pressing his lips against mine. My eyes widened. Gakupo stared at me. I couldn't move… or more like… I did not want to… I closed my eyes as Gakupo turned his body towards mine. He lightly held my head as he deeply kissed me.

Taking a breath I opened my eyes slowly, "G-Gakupo…"

Gakupo hugged me tightly with his head down, "Yuma… or I?"

I frowned hearing this question, "I- I don't know…"

Gakupo stayed silent for a bit, "is that so…" He soon got grabbing his hair band. He tied his hair up and headed out of my room, "that means you don't love me more than him…" Gakupo laughed softly, "so we're equal, huh?"

"Wait, Gakupo!" I quickly got up. Gakupo closed the door without looking back at me. I lowered my hand that I tried to reach out to Gakupo with slowly. I made him have that expression again… Gakupo or Yuma… I still can't choose… but I know if I don't choose… I will keep hurting them. I shook my head, I have to do my best…

.

"Kaito, I'm going to work," Gakupo walked out of his room.

"Oh, alright. Have a good day," I responded.

Gakupo opened the house door and looked back at me, "remember what I said ok? To not go out."

I nodded silently still bothered about what recently happened.

Gakupo sighed and walked towards me, "sorry," he patted my head, "I didn't mean to make you feel this way. I'm not angry, so relax."

I bit my bottom lip, "yeah…"

Gakupo smiled at me, "then, I'll be going."

I ran up to the door behind Gakupo, "have a nice day."

Gakupo waved back at me and headed off. I closed the door after I couldn't see Gakupo. What should I do… I touched the top of my head where Gakupo patted me. His hands were warm… I sighed and locked the door. Yuma must be worried too… I lightly pushed myself away from the door and walked into the living room. I don't feel like cleaning today… what can I do?

I hummed a tune and walked around the house thinking of something to do. I really want to go outside… but… I heard Gakupo's voice in my head telling me not to go. I shook my head, "mn…"

What should I do? I sighed, "how many times did I ask myself that?" I closed my eyes and went in deep thought, seeing the whole house in my head, "...flowers…" I stared at the colorful buds of growing flowers outside the house, "but that's outside."

"Maybe I can just go in the front yard…" I mumbled. The thugs, if they they still were looking for me, don't know where we live… Should I call Gakupo and ask? I shook my head, no, no… he's busy at work…

"I'm sure… it'll be fine…" I walked towards the house door driven by boredom. I opened the door and scanned the area, looking if the thugs were there, "no one is here… as expected from this place of Vocaloids…" Barely any non-Vocaloid people would come here. Usually the only one who visits is Master… Other than that, no one else. I walked out the house, closing the door behind me, "not like we can go outside this area…"

I walked towards the shed by our house, mumbling what I needed, "first, a hose… and some fertilizer?" I pulled out a dusty box from the shelf labeled 'gardening' and opened it. I dug around the box, pulling seed packets, and shovels out, "ah… the dust is getting on me…" I pouted, seeing my blue top have patches of grey.

I sighed, "I'm looking through this small box… for a hose…" I might be stupid… I shook my head, "ah~ I can't think that." I pointed my finger up at the ceiling, "I'm not stupid, I'm just very tired… Go, Kaito!"

"Here's a hose," a familiar voice stated. I heard this voice somewhere… but it's not someone I know well…

"W-who are you?" I asked without looking.

"You should know me," the voice laughed. A hand was placed on my shoulder, "Little Miss…"

My eyes widened. I hit away the hand on my shoulder, grabbing a shovel from the box. I held the shovel in front of me, "d-don't touch me… or I…"

"What can a weak person like you do?" The boss laughed and grabbed the shovel from out of my hand, "least-liked vocaloid?"

I froze hearing what came out of his mouth.

"To shocked to move? It's true…" The man whispered into my ear, "you were one of the first… and the worst."

"Shut up!" I grabbed the hand rake from the box and swung it at the man's face. I heard a crack. It hit. I looked up at the man slowly.

"Ah, you've done it," the man smiled at me. Blood ran down from his forehead and his right eye. I had hit his eye…

"I-I warned you…" I pointed the hand rake at him. My eyes widened, "ah…" I dropped the hand rake, seeing blood stained on my shirt and dripping from my hand. My whole body shook in terror, "no… no…"

"Payback for what you have done to me," The man laughed and pulled up my head by my hair forcefully.

"No!" I cried out in pain.

The man held me up higher, "you're so damn noisy… I like it…" the man grabbed some tape that had rolled out of the gardening box and taped my mouth close, "but Mr. Pink Hedgehog might come home and ruin my fun," the man closed the shed door.

"Mn," I felt tears forming in my eyes. I don't want this… someone! Someone come! The man smiled, his wry expression sent shivers down my spine. He pushed me against the boxes, undressing me. No… I pushed him away from me.

"What? You don't want to feel good?" The man bit my neck, drawing blood. The pain pushed out the tears that stuck in my eyes. The man bit me everywhere leaving marks and cuts all over my body.

I heard Gakupo and Yuma calling my name. It was faint, but I heard them. I had to tell them i'm here… but how? No one barely comes to the shed because we already have people to clean our area… I shook my body as hard as I could, trying to escape the man's grasp.

"Looks like people are looking for you Little Miss…" The man dug his nails into my body, "does that give you hope?"

The pain was too much, "mn!" It hurts… so much. Yuma… Gakupo…

"But there is absolutely no hope for you ya know? Because you hurt a human…" The man ran his hand down my body, leaving streaks of blood like a painting. He's right… Vocaloids are not supposed to hurt any humans. It would be rare for Master to let this slide… after all… I looked at the light that slipped passed the door of the shed from the tiny cracks in the door… after all… I'm just a machine made for the pleasure of humans…

I closed my eyes. No, I can't give up. People are waiting for me. They are waiting for my voice, my existence… is not nothing… My family… is waiting. I opened my eyes slowly. I have to get out alive… I quickly grabbed the blood stained hand rake. I chucked it at the door, opening it with a loud noise.

"You!" The man exclaimed in anger, "you couldn't just be quiet?" The man grabbed a shovel and held it above his head, "you're going to die even if I just leave… so I'll help you!" The man stabbed the shovel right into my core. He ran out the shed leaving me laying in the shed alone. I could hear my core zapping and beeping in the loss of connection from my wires. Ah… it hurts…

"Kaito!" Gakupo and Yuma appeared at the shed. Their eyes widened in shock.

"Sempai!" Yuma ran to me pulling out the shovel and removing the tape from my mouth, "Sempai! Sempai!"

My vision was dimming, "Y-Yuma… Gakupo…"

"Kaito…" Gakupo stood behind Yuma gritting his teeth. He turned around, "I'll go kill that man…"

"No…" I tried to sit up, "don't…"

"Why?" Gakupo exclaimed, "he hurt you so badly!"

"If a Vocaloid hurts a human, then it's pretty much done…" Yuma mumbled, "I'm sure Sempai doesn't want you to also be accused."

Gakupo clenched his fists, "damn it!"

"It's ok… you guys came to help me…" I mumbled. I couldn't see much… my sight became static, "Yuma-kun and Gakupo are here… so… I feel at… ease…" I slowly lost consciousness. I could hear the faint voices of Yuma-kun and Gakupo calling my name over and over again. Am I really dying? But… I don't want to… I still haven't decided… who I would choose...

A/N: SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING!

And sorry for making Kaito get hurt... BUT, I will tell you this, the ending... is not this chapter... although it would make a good ending if this was a tragedy, which it was, but whatever...

So, like always, I hope you enjoyed reading this (painfully terrible, mind-killing) chapter and if you spot any mistakes, please tell me, other than that, I hope you stay with me and wait for the next chapter!
