----------------

Meanwhile, in the Headquarters of the Resistance Force.
Surely, only sitting and doing nothing while waiting in his room already bores one certain redhead to tears that his hands are itching for any action.
Besides, there might be any news from Kyo, even if that is unusual for him to contact the Headquarters during his missions unless anything serious happens.
Yet, Iori has nothing better to do, anyway. So, it is still worth checking if there are any new updates on Kyo’s mission.
And with that, Iori gets up and heads towards the command room.
Thus, upon the sound of the automatic gates opening, he enters the command room.
But for now, Yagami is greeted by the same usual view.
Apparently, a couple of female operators are busy working on holographic screens - one from the left side and another from the right.
Perhaps they are handling tons of constantly incoming data again. Strangely, the commander is missing. However, it seems that he is on another operation or raid.
Either way, it’s not that he cares about the commander. More so, the less his day will be ruined. Or so Iori decides.
Meanwhile, his presence remains unnoticed by the other soldiers, who are only minding their business.
That’s why Iori approaches and leans against the wall that supports the platform above, on which there is a balcony, where are located the desk and holographic screen.
But he stays here for longer unless anyone asks him to leave. Besides, he can always leave if he gets bored without problems.
However, not even a single minute has passed, and the brief beeping disturbs the silence, making the redhead lift his head for a moment.
A sound transmission at such a time? Despite that, he hasn’t much high expectations.
After the short-haired brunette operator checks on the holographic screen, she states. “It’s… It’s from Kyo!”
Kyo? But it is unusual for him to call first. Despite that, Yagami listens carefully.
When the younger operator taps the screen, she answers. “This is Headquarters-”
However, she suddenly gets startled by whims and soft moaning through the speakers. “... ngh ... nyaah.”
Of course, it concerns both operators, yet one of them maintains a formal tone. “This is Headquarters. Can you hear us?”
Yet, there is no answer from the other end. But this time, these moans and cries become louder and more pathetic.
Certainly, his long-time mission would never call out of the blue and joke around. Just what the hell is going on? The redhead tries to convince himself while he becomes more anxious and tense.
Yes. Kyo might not take most of his tasks seriously or get into trouble if he doesn’t pay attention. However, even if he wants to annoy anyone, he would never act like this, and Yagami knows him well enough to understand that.
Meanwhile, the operator repeats her question. “This is Headquarters. What happened? Please, answer us.”
However, the moaning continues, and now with some words in between. “....naa ...aah~ ...plea~ ...no ...nyaaah~ ...get ...geeet away...”
That’s it! When Iori has, finally, enough of it. Thus, he rushes to the operator’s deck and pushes away the younger operator. “Move!”
As the poor gal harshly falls to the ground, the long-haired blonde operator instantly moves away and observes the entire situation. At the moment, it’s better to comply with this unpredictable man’s wishes without questioning him.
When Yagami puts on the headphones with the microphone and slams his palm on the table, he speaks up without hiding his frustration. “What the hell is happening? Answer me!”
Unfortunately, there is no reply, as if the redhead’s words do not reach him.
Yet, he doesn’t give up. “Hey!-”
In the end, the cracking noise cuts the sound transmission.
No response, no nothing - Yagami is left in uncertainty while being dumbfounded and shocked.
He couldn’t do anything when his help was needed the most, and that feeling of being completely useless utterly crushed him.
But for now, Iori only punches the panel and silently growls. “… Shit.”
A second later, he lowers his head and keeps it hung.
‘How could I let this to happen?’ he thinks while grinding his teeth.
Suddenly, he looks towards the fallen operator. “What are you staring at?! Do something! Dial him again or something!”
Meanwhile, the poor operator widens her eyes and is about to burst into tears while fearing for her life.
Fortunately for her, the further menace of Yagami is stopped by the scolding feminine voice from below. “What is the meaning of this, Yagami?”
‘Oh no. Of all times that annoying woman has to show up…’ the redhead wonders as he rolls his eyes.
A dark-haired woman wearing black stockings, a dark green color skirt below her knees, and a matching color jacket and under it, a black tank top, and a long white medical coat - it’s one of the medical team members, Chizuru Kagura.
But for now, as she climbs the stairs, the clacking sound of her high heels accompanies her.
After she approaches Iori, she only silently stares at him with a calm yet judging eyes.
It’s the least person whom Yagami wants to see, and he asks without hiding irritation. “Great… Just what the hell do you, Kagura? Are you asking for some trouble as well?”
However, he is instantly silenced by Chizuru’s strict tone. “Remember on whom you are raising your voice.”
A second later, she checks on the poor, scared operator and another one who comforts and hugs her. But for now, she glances at them with a gentle gaze.
After the ebony-haired woman lifts her eyes and turns her head towards Yagami, she keeps a serious look and adds. “More importantly, you have no right to vent all your rage on innocent people.”
As Iori only frowns and grinds his teeth, he shakes his head.
After he tosses the headset on the desk, he walks past Chizuru and declares. “Fuck this! I’m taking the shuttle and getting out of this place.”
Yet, he stops and widens his eyes when the back of his jacket collar is grabbed and hears another command. “Wait. You cannot let your emotions to control you, no matter what happened. Calm down. Or do you want to be dismissed by the commander again?”
When Iori turns his head, he whines. “Screw the commander! If that asshole was smart enough to send an inexperienced rookie with any other soldier, then, loosing another one should be no problem for him!”
After Chizuru closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, she softens her gaze and asks. “What happened, then?”
That’s right, the redhead has barely any interest in other members of the Resistance’s well-being. However, there can be only one person who receives this kind of privilege and favor.
The ebony-haired woman has known Iori for too long. After all, she was the one who noticed him being terribly wounded and another victim of the Imperial Army.
When Yagami got better, she offered him to join the Resistance Force. Yet, she was surprised that he agreed.
As time passed, during his first mission with Kyo, something changed.
Yes. In the beginning, most of the couple’s injuries were not caused by the enemy. It was from their constant fights or arguments, and they didn’t want to give up while honestly showing even the slightest disagreement.
However, mission after mission and the time spent with Kyo, both got used to each other’s company and did not mind it.
More importantly, Iori is more calm and perhaps secretly happy to find a trustworthy partner.
As if the Kusanagi had a hidden curing effect on him without realizing it...
Meanwhile, Chizuru was glad that not only she would have less work treating their wounds but also that these two matured enough not to cause a ruckus over most petite details.
But for now, Yagami answers in a nervous tone. “Kyo is… Damn! For the fuck’s sake! As we speak, he might be dead already or captured by the enemy!”
Lastly, he lowers his head and bites his lower lip.
After the dark-haired woman places her hand on his shoulder, she explains while trying to reassure him. “Even so, you cannot go blindly and die in vain. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do at the moment. However, do you think Kusanagi gave up so easily? Just believe in him for a bit longer. I’m pretty sure that he’ll return safely.”
In the end, Yagami doesn’t want to listen to anyone. He just had enough of everything.
On the other hand, Kagura helped him to cool him down a bit. Maybe there is a small part of truth in this woman’s words. Iori wonders as he silently passes Chizuru’s side with his hung head and leaves the command room.
At that moment, he doesn’t care if anyone will laugh at him. He cannot find peace of mind and is tormented by his regrets.
All the redhead desires so badly is to embrace Kyo and never let him go while protecting him from pain or suffering.
But for now, he is too tired to question such an unexpected urge or why he seeks the brunette’s comfort.
Thus, without even noticing it, after Iori reaches his room, he crashes into his bed and slowly closes his eyes. However, all he can do is wait for the commander’s return.
