KAITO: SHADOW GARBAGE AU EDITION OPEN POST

[was_no_monster]

Because sometimes you love both the split personality and inner demons tropes way too much, and there's only one way to handle it.

THE AU IS RIDICULOUS, but all you really need to know is Kaito got humanity's malice dumped into his head along with ridiculous power, and his way of coping with both that and the trauma involved was to shove it all in with everything else he represses the heck out of and then completely dissociate himself from it. End result: what he thinks of as his inner monster has completely split off into a personality of its own, following the imagery and pattern left behind by the Shadow from that one time the Vocaloid Dressing Room had a Persona event.

(Please don't judge me.)

Feel free to pick a scenario, if you can't think of one just blank tag this sucker and I'll come up with something!

Warning! There will be a decently high probability of maiming in this post! If you're not okay with that, that's cool; just let me know in a comment header or something and I will have normal Kaito intervene. (Alternately, if you want to get mauled... well. All you have to do is ask :))

If you did that I'd just run the other way. Stuff like that happens pretty often down there.

[was_no_monster]

You're assuming I wouldn't have run you over. I'm faster than you like this.

[coaldhearted]

I could take it.

[was_no_monster]

[ snaps his jaws with another rush of air and leans forward to shove him again ]

But you shouldn't have to.

[coaldhearted]

[stumbles a little, surprised enough that it actually unbalances him.]

It's not about have to? If I messed up and got in your way that's on me.

[was_no_monster]

That doesn't mean it's not also on me for having run you over. I don't want to hurt you, I like you and you haven't even hurt me first.

[coaldhearted]

...

[DOESN'T... KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THAT??

what if just blurting out something horrible]

That's kind of just a matter of time, so I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.

[was_no_monster]

[ grumbles ]

So I'll do it then. Not sooner.

[ what was that about blurting out horrible things ]

[coaldhearted]

Fine.

[terrible things what terrible things.]

[was_no_monster]

It's not like I'm any better, anyway.

[ speaking of which. what if I try to knock you over and catch you on my back because a: I am honest enough to admit that we're an asshole and b: you're still too much down here for me to be happy with it ]

[coaldhearted]

[that.. works pretty well since he hadn't quite regained his balance yet, and he digs the fingers of his hand into Kaito's fur in spite of himself.]

Kaito!

[was_no_monster]

What? You agreed, so I'm kicking you out.

[ shoves him the rest of the way on there and trots for the exit ]

[coaldhearted]

[Long suffering sigh, just hanging on

It's literally too much effort to argue at this point.]

[was_no_monster]

[ being a stubborn jackass saves the day for me again.

getting to the stairs and flopping gracelessly down onto his stomach for an easy dismount ]

[coaldhearted]

[He slides off, keeping his hand on Kaito's back until he's truly balanced, then letting go and scowling at him.]

[was_no_monster]

[ shameless slow tailthumping. u mad bro ]

[coaldhearted]

There is no reason to be as smug as you are right now.

[was_no_monster]

We've been wanting to do that since the first time we met you down here. That's plenty of reason.

[coaldhearted]

We?

[was_no_monster]

... It's a long story.

[coaldhearted]

You don't feel possessed, so I guess it would be.

[was_no_monster]

[ snorts, resting his chin on his forepaws ]

"Possessed..." Well, that's not wrong, either, but that isn't where the "we" comes from.

I'm "Kaito"— I've always been Kaito. I'm just the parts that the rest of me kept locked up in the dark.

[coaldhearted]

[Slowly pats the fur of his back, mind more on the conversation than what his hand is doing.]

So the chains...?

[was_no_monster]

[ sighs, pleased ]

Left over from that. There used to be so many that I could barely move...

[coaldhearted]

So he's losing his grip on you.

Why would he lock you up in the first place?
