I couldn't see anything. It was pitch black. Where am I? Ah… that's right… I remember. That man crushed my core… did I shut down? Is this what it is like when Vocaloids shutdown?

It's so quiet in here. I can't move, or it's just so dark that I can't see myself move… I heard that if a Vocaloid breaks, they make all the other Vocaloids forget that one so that it won't affect the quality of their singing… Does that mean, Yuma and Gakupo forgot me? But… I guess it's ok if they forget me, because then they won't want any revenge over me… then they won't get hurt…

.

I heard a water droplet. Where is this coming from? I looked around the room. I don't know if I can move… but, I have to try… I followed the sound through the darkness. The droplets of water soon added breathing. It sounded like someone was crying… Yuma? I ran towards the sound. I could see… I could see them! But, my body isn't moving. Yuma cried over me, and Gakupo stood staring at my unmoving body, blaming himself for what happened.

I ran towards the image. I see… this is my mind… I have to wake up! I have to tell them I'm ok! I could almost touch it. I could hear my small breaths, fighting to wake up. Hearing those small breaths, Yuma and Gakupo's eyes filled with hope. I can't let them down… I have to wake up!

I heard my breathing stop. Eh? Why? The picture got dimmer in my mind. No! I saw Yuma's tears come back and Gakupo sitting down on a stool like he couldn't hold in his anger on that man anymore. I tried as hard as I could to run faster, but soon, my mind fell silent again. It was pitch black… why?

"Who would you choose?" I heard my voice ask myself.

I shook my head not wanting to answer the question.

"Until you decide, you can not see either of them again," my voice stated.

My eyes widened, "I can't… see them?"

"That's right… pick one," they repeated.

I closed my eyes tightly. I couldn't possibly choose… I love them both so much! Not being able to see them again… leaving them all alone… I clenched my chest, tears forming in my eyes and running down my cheeks, "I can't just pick one… I… It feels like i'm bound to them… my head hurts…"

I wiped away the tears, rolling down my cheeks, "sorry… i'm so selfish… even though I have to choose only one… I refuse… and choose both…" I mumbled. I'm so sorry… for being so selfish…

"What are you saying?" Gakupo laughed.

Huh? That's Gakupo's voice isn't it? But… I didn't choose only him… why…

"Sempai," Yuma cried.

Yuma? I looked around my pitch black mind. There… I could see light… It grew brighter and brighter in seconds. I could see them… I could see Gakupo, and Yuma! I ran towards the light calling out their names, "Gakupo! Yuma-kun!"

My stiff body sprang up from the bed and hugged Yuma, who was in front of me. I could feel his warmth. I cried hugging Yuma tightly.

"S-Sempai!" Yuma stared at me wide-eyed.

"Kaito!" Gakupo, losing his balance, knelt onto the bed, reaching his hand out and touching my cheek. His hand was so warm.

Feeling their warmth, more tears squeezed out from my eyes. I couldn't believe it… I could see and feel them… I hugged Yuma tightly, tears flowing down my face.

.

"Do you feel alright, Kaito?" Master walked into the room smiling.

I looked up, "M-Master…" I bit my bottom lip, "I'm so sorry… I… hurt a human…"

"Yes you did, he lost his eye…" Master sighed.

I looked down in shame, "am I going to be shutdown?"

"Kaito!" Gakupo yelled at me, "don't say such things!"

Yuma nodded his head in agreement.

"But…" I began.

"Shutdown…" Master mumbled.

Everyone fell silent and looked at Master, who walked towards my bed.

"A word that replaced the word 'kill' for vocaloids…" Master stared at me, "do you think it would be better for you to 'shutdown?' Master questioned.

"Better?" I murmured, looking up at Master.

"Do you want to shutdown?"

"Master!" Gakupo snapped.

"Be quiet, Gakupo," Master ordered. Gakupo clenched his teeth, looking away. Master continued, "let me ask you this, why are you still here?"

My eyes widened, "why…"

"Sempai…" Yuma looked at me worried.

"Because…" I took a deep breath, "I didn't want to leave… I want to keep living…"

"Kaito," Gakupo looked at me, my head down.

I looked up at Master, "because I don't want to leave Gakupo and Yuma-kun!"

"Is that so?" Master smiled at me.

I nodded, wiping away the tears from my eyes.

"You're not going to get shutdown… I was just playing with you~"

"Eh?" I looked at Master, confused, "why? Didn't I hurt a human?"

"That human, walking into you Vocaloids territory, required punishment already. Adding to his crimes, he raped you," Master explained, "and on the other hand, you did not start it."

"So…" Yuma broke into laughter, "yataa! Sempai~ I love you!"

"Y-Yuma-kun?" I stuttered.

"You bastard!" Gakupo snapped.

"Sempai isn't going to leave us!" Yuma exclaimed, wiping away his tears and hugging me.

Gakupo tried peeling Yuma off of me, scolding him. I whined as they shook me back and forth, but I was happy… Master smiled and waved to us good-bye, telling us that I can leave the hospital today.

.

"Ah~ It's good to be home…" I sprawled out onto my bed. Even though I remembered that I got all those cuts, my body felt as if nothing happened… I stared at the palm of the hand I used to protect myself with the hand rake. Is it really ok?

I shook my head, Master said it's ok… so it's ok.

"Kaito," Gakupo walked into my room, "how are you feeling?"

I sat up, "I'm fine…"

"Is that so?" Gakupo brought my laundry in to my room and began to fold them.

"Ah, I can do that myself," I insisted.

"No," Gakupo glanced at me, "you just got out of the hospital. Rest."

"But-" I started.

Gakupo glared at me, "Kaito."

I hugged my legs close to me and sulked, "it's ganna make me feel like I did nothing to help…"

Gakupo sighed, turning his head away, going back to doing my laundry, "Everyone…" Gakupo finished the last of the folding and got up to put them in my closet, "everyone is so glad that you are safe…"

"Gakupo…" I peeked up at Gakupo.

"You have done mostly everything for us…" Gakupo turned to me, "at least let us do this…"

I buried my head back into my arms, "Gakupo…"

"What is it?" Gakupo finished placing my laundry into my closet.

I stayed silent.

Gakupo sighed and patted my head, "you can tell me later if you want to…" Gakupo took my hand.

I looked up at Gakupo.

Gakupo smiled at me, "let's go eat."

I tightly gripped Gakupo's hand and nodded. Gakupo lead me out of my room. Gakupo pulled a cloth out from his pants pocket, turning to me.

"Put this on."

"Wha- why?"

"No questions~" Gakupo sang.

I pouted, "fine…" I took the black cloth from Gakupo's hand. He seems happy today… I wonder why… I tied the black cloth over my eyes, "done."

"Alright," Gakupo led me with his hand. I heard a door open and felt a cold breeze blow against my face, "are we going outside?"

"... I don't know," Gakupo replied sounding like I was a stupid person for asking.

"Mmm…" I pouted as if I was going to cry.

Just like a light being turned on, Gakupo quickly responded, "ah… sorry. I didn't mean to say it that way…" Gakupo panicked, "look, we're almost there."

I puffed up my cheeks, "how am I supposed ta see, stupid…"

I heard Gakupo sighed, "well… you can see now."

The black cloth slipped off my eyes, reveling beautiful lights hung from lines, a large table with alot of delicious food, and all the vocaloids smiling at me.

Yuma stood in front of everyone, his arms out, "welcome back, Sempai!"

I felt tears forming in my eyes, "everyone…"

"This is all for you~" The girls threw confetti over me.

"I-I don't know what I should say…" I wiped away my tears, "thank you… thank you."

"You don't have to thank us," Rin leaned down to look at my face.

"That's right, we are all family afterall," Luka smiled at me.

Everyone was so worried about me… I looked up at everyone, wiping away my tears, "thank you, everyone."
"Ah~" Meiko complained, "we just told ya not to thank us!"

I laughed, "sorry, sorry."

Meiko scratched her head, "don't apologize either!"

"Ah… sor-" I smiled, closing my mouth. I almost said sorry again…

"Let's eat, eat~" Len pushed me from behind towards the table of food.

"Ah, Len-kun, i'm going to trip if you push that hard~"

"Double strength!" Piko joined Len and pushed me.

"Piko-kun!" I looked back at the two who were pushing me. Everyone was laughing and having so much fun. I'm so happy that I wasn't shut down. I smiled with everyone. I laughed with everyone.

I would do anything… to be with them. The reason i'm here… is not only to sing songs for the humans, but to also be here for all of the Vocaloids… my family.
