Okay, after long hiatus, I've returned to this project, cos I missed working on it helluva a lot T^T Besides, I felt maybe it was a time to test my angst skills...So, yeah, tried to make it sound as powerful and moving as KOF Zillion was to me TT (at least for NEST experiments and escaping lab part...). *sigh* Of course, when I read that one chapter I was broken down and cried as hard as reading Elfen Lied's (of course, manga version) ending or experiencing the same feeling as in certain events of Rockman X5 (yeah, you know how it feels when someone pierces your chest and pulls out your heart? Yeah, then makes you watch it still pumping blood, but then crushing in front of you...) AAAAAhhh, This unofficial manghwua nearly reached that, you know! But, boy, I do love being tortured by never ending tragedy, don't I?~ Plus, listening to vocal cover of another Daisuke Ishiwatari's masterpiece ''Weak Execiuter'' was so perfect for working on NEST Kyo's flashbacks. Yeah, I wanted to emulate that feeling and thus used first person POV. Not sure, if it is how you use it, but I'm proud how this turned out.
Anyhoo, I hope you would enjoy!

A new day has begun. So, far it was calm afternoon at Yagami’s house or at least until one redhead asked Kyo to see him in living room. Of course, this brunette knew that if Yagami asks something in serious yet calm tone, then it must be something really important. Because when this redhead acts like this either he was deeply pissed-off about something and could lose any time, either it is something that bad and he couldn’t handle by himself that forced this stubborn idiot to swallow his pride and act like this. Kyo just sighs and while having his hands inside pants’ pockets goes to living room. Besides, there were nothing better to do at the moment, or so thought this brunette.
After he reached living room, this brunette noticed that Iori was wearing glasses studying some kind of papers, probably he was working on new song. Either way, seeing this redhead being concentrated on something makes this brunette glad. Maybe because he was just simply relaxed for once in awhile, plus, at times like this, Kyo can use for surprise attacks. Besides, it was quiet amusing to tease him.
When this redhead heard the approaching steps, he lifted his head and noticed one certain Kusanagi. After he placed the papers on coffee table, his gaze followed this brunette, who recklessly joined him on couch. Kyo asked in relaxed tone ‘‘So, what did you wanted?’’. Yagani only sighs as he removes his glasses and places on coffee table, he looks at this brunette, he remains silent. Then Kyo asks in slight apologetic tone ‘‘Are you that mad that I slept in bedroom? I didn’t do that on purpose, I swear! I just went to get some water, but then without realizing, slept in your bed. Besides, I haven’t done anything wrong while I was asleep, have I?’’.
Right now this redhead speaks up in serious tone ‘‘About that…’’, his rival only stares at him like a cornered kitten, however, he addresses this brunette further ‘‘What a hell happened between you and future me? I swear, you can’t go without sticking your nose where you shouldn’t.’’. This Kusanagi frowns his eyes-brows and now replies ‘‘You are stubborn as usual! Like heck, I could stand watching you suffering from your blood curse alone or nearly dying each time!’’.
Yagami just grinds his teeth and now growls ‘‘Mind your goddamn business!…’’ yet Kyo fight-backs ‘‘Then why didn’t you did the same? But no, you can’t get enough of me and even chasing me down all world and…’’ now he felt like the word stuck inside his throat, but now he just lowered his gaze. However, this redhead now was curious and impatiently asked ‘‘Don’t tell me that your little feathers has been finally ruffled and burnt a bit and you can’t get over it…’’. This brunette sends unusual cold piercing gaze and replies in strict and deeper tone "You ain't really know about the clones and what happened in lab, do you?".
Surely, it was intimidating enough to make Iori scared for a second - there were no traces of recklessness or vitality inside this brunette and seeing him deadly serious wasn't very common for this redhead. It’s not the same anger, which Yagami witnessed before. Definitely, Iori has touched maybe too painful spot for this Kyo. However, as soon as this cold rage started - it dimmed. Now this brunette softens his gaze and sighs ‘‘It can’t be helped then, I guess. Do you really want to know really happened?’’, Kyo closes his eyes. After slowly opening his eyes, he stares with longing stare at nothing and continues ‘‘Fine, but don’t try anything funny after that, got it?’’.
And thus, this Kusanagi starts telling his unfortunate tale ‘‘You see for nearly whole year I was kidnapped and kept as prisoner by some weird creeps. Hell, do you know how testing animals feel in one of these testing labs? ‘Cos I do. I was like one. Living like in cage and only being outside your cell just for another session of who knows what these freaks prepared for you - let it be restrained on examination table and being observed by countless faceless surgeons, being cut, using your own blood or flesh or whatever they want…It was only for their mess up research.’’.
This brunette tries to hide growing fear and pain on his face, but stiffening shoulders and his voice betrays him. The more he tells, the more he gets stiff and even shiver ‘‘That’s right, if you are the test subject, you are not allowed to feel anything, right? You are just a tool, and even if you will break, they wouldn’t let rest you in peace and torment your corpse until their petite wishes satisfied…Each day and night was like a new punishment and trial, you couldn’t predict what they would want from you. Being drugged or receiving electrocuting waves to make you less resistant - it hurts, it seemed that there was no end for it. And then being dragged into some kind capsule filled with who knows what kind of liquid…At least then I was able to rest for a bit, cos then it seems that one of scientists were just taking some kind of data.’’
Of course, seeing how Kyo suffering from opening his wounds didn’t left Iori being indifferent. Somehow, it even was clenching so hard this redhead’s heart that he just wanted to embrace this brunette and shut him up. However, Iori just corners his rival and now scolds with such a frustration ‘‘ How the fuck did you let this happen? Why didn’t you do anything?!’’.
This Kusanagi freezes for awhile and lowers his head. He didn’t looked at Yagami, but he back-fires shaking voice ‘‘Easy for you to judge…After sealing Orochi we been sent by the blast to different directions. You seem to be still unconscious and I was too exhausted to even lift my hand, I could just watch you resting. Then these guys in hazmat suits shows up and started to drag me. Heck, I was too weak even too fight-back and then one of them smacked me. All I remember is waking up and being tied up on examination table. So, hell, I would have roasted them so hard, if I could then, you know!’’.
However, Kyo yanks his head and forces himself to crack a fake smile and chuckle ‘‘It’s funny that even when I was sealed in that capsule, I could hear you calling me…So, you sure like obsessed with me, Yagami. I swear, sometimes I wonder that you might even have a softer spot for me. Maybe that’s why you keep me alive. If you wanted, I would have died from your hands like several times, you know. But here I am, still alive. So, what is your real reason then? Even Yagami I know, tries to dodge this question, but he gives only vague reason..’’, this brunette just patiently observes this redhead, waiting for his reaction. Maybe this redhead would be more honest, or so he hoped by testing like this.
Yet it seems that Iori stopped cornering Kyo and after sitting back, briefly replies ‘‘You keep poking your nose where you shouldn’t. Did you heard a saying that curiosity has killed a cat?’’, however, this brunette boldly leans closer to him ‘‘And satisfaction revived it. So, whatever it is, it’s better than you keeping it all alone and harming yourself. If it is that awful, now you would have stronger reason to defeat me.’’.
This redhead doubtfully looks at his rival and after short pause, he begins to confess with determination in his voice ‘‘ Then why do you think it might be different? But if you are that naive and foolish, I’ll make sure it will burn into your memory. Don’t blame me if you have any problems with it. I won’t repeat it twice - so, you better remember! ’’, this brunette listens without interruptions ‘‘ If I finally defeat you, I’ll make your ashes burn brighter than any flame. It’s not because of what my cursed blood says so. Like hell, I’ll let someone to tell me or control what to do!’’, Kyo could notice how the ring on his rival’s finger shines for brief moment thanks to sunlight.
‘‘I will defeat you by my own strength and will. So, you better give all yourself on our next match, got it? I won’t show mercy who would snatch this pleasure from me either.’’, however, now Iori high-lights the last part ‘‘Because you’re the one who can satisfy me, Kyo! ’’. Surely, this brunette briefly opens his eyes, yet now he was glad to hear this once again. Now Kyo adds his part of oath ‘‘Then I’ll return to your senses no matter how many times it need or until my voice reaches you. You are not alone and when your inner demons strikes again and again, I’ll beat shit out ‘em, you idiot. Just don’t make me use my flames on you ever again to revive you. I won’t forgive you if you die this time for real…’’.
However, this Kusanagi was getting into that gloomy mood again, so, Yagami asks ‘‘What do mean by that?’’ now Kyo swallows saliva and serious tone explains ‘‘That day when some kind of lab incident happened, the seal of capsule was broken and I could finally torn apart those wires from a tube and escape. Of course, even at time like this I wanted to keep at least some dignity and looked for anything to cover up. Nothing was close around. Fortunately, the door of room where I’ve been were open. Of course, I used this chance! However, it seems that the corridor was now in blinking red color light and there were couple of dead scientists - either they were shot or cutted by someone. Hell, call me a dirty thief, I don’t fucking care! I took one their medical coat, plus it even got id card, which made things easier for me. So, after trying my luck with using this id card on any of locked doors, I found a room in which there were a lot of capsules which inside were asleep people, who were me!’’
Kyo just shakes his head and looks more stiff ‘‘You can call me crazy as much as you want, but I saw what I saw. Heck, it’s so surreal seeing yourself from aside. However, as I went further in corridor, I heard someone screaming. I thought maybe it was a hallucination, but it sounded like you…Of course, I ran towards that voice! Hell, I was scared, but I kept running.’’, this brunette closes his eyes and hugs himself, after opening his eyes, he continues in shaky voice ‘‘Along hearing these sirens and constant robotic announcer’s voice, I was getting closer, but then along that battle-cry, I heard sound of ripped flesh…and then in the middle of corridor…’’.
This Kusanagi more tightly squeezes his arms and looks more scared, now he was reliving these memories by himself and nothing else seem to be existing. He just continues ‘‘There were a lot of my look-alikes scattered on ground and being horribly scratched like it was done by a rabid beast or terribly burned, some of them shown even fear on their faces. Do you fucking know how does it feel seeing yourself twitching in agony or being dead?!’’, Kyo pauses for good couple minutes yet he was left alone with this unanswered question. Probably, he already reached his limits, this thought this redhead. Without realizing he reached his hand towards this brunette - a single touch and this Kusanagi leans forward and covers his face. He didn’t wanted to see him broken down. Yagami admits, he sure felt bad for his rival yet the best thing he could do is placing his hand on Kyo’s back and rubs it. This Kusanagi finally speaks up, but it was only a pitiful whim ‘‘…Don’t.’’.
Despite that Kyo tries to finish ‘‘You were surrounded by these corpses, but you weren’t under the riot of blood, that’s for sure! Yet you were hardly breathing and fixating your pure rage at your current opponent…Why the hell, you still lit your flame, if it is so painful for you? It still didn’t affected that guy! Why…you knew that you can’t defeat him... yet you still charge at him with full force!…’’, words keep stucking in throat and he shakes his head while covering his face, even now Iori could notice how singly small droplets were landing on Kyo’s knees, through his whims, this brunette forces himself to continue ‘‘Hell, you took too high voltage strike! th-there were smoke co-coming out...out of...y-you! I thought you died!.."
Of course, it felt shocking, so distant and unreal to this redhead. One thing for sure, it wasn’t just an acting, if so, then it was putted too much effort for it. Hell, this Kusanagi pressed his head against his knees and hugs. Why he cares so much about this redhead, even more than himself? However, instead of these thoughts, Yagami pulls Kyo close to him. Of course, this brunette tries to fight-back, but at the moment, he was too weak. And thus, this Kusanagi was in embrace of Iori.
This redhead could feel how his shirt started to get soaked from never stopping Kyo’s tears and how he trembles. However, eventually this brunette could hear the heartbeat of Iori, somehow it helped him gradually relax and relieved. Lastly when all that tension slowly was disappearing, there were no words spoken or needed at this moment. Yagami was alive and safe - that was really mattered.
After Kyo calms down, he continues "I don’t know why, but at that moment I was so desperate and my body acted on it’s own. Hell, I was still like ‘Stop pretending that you’re asleep’. ‘wake up already’. So, call me insane or whatever, but you know these electric shock in ambulance, right? I used my flame as that too. It was just a mere luck that after sending my flame through your breathless body really helped. You were alive, but the first thing what your stubborn head did is still wanting to attack your opponent. Hell, you’re about get smashed, so you better be thankful that I drag you by collar, you stupid idiot! Like heck, I want you to die two times in the row!’’.
When this brunette takes a deep breath, he continues ‘‘Of course some idiot thought that being killed is more important than escaping alive…You know, you weren’t that light, plus, you were struggling! Heck, it took you long enough to come to your senses until you started walk on your own. Yet what you did was uncalled and unnecessarily, you know…’’, surely, this Kusanagi sounded too concerned but now this redhead noticed how Kyo’s turned his gaze for awhile.
After returning his gaze, this brunette further tells with growing concern in his voice ‘‘Hell, this place was also crumbling and it seems that one of clones was hardly wounded and tripped-over and that moment when he was in the middle of closing gate...Why did you pressed me against you like hugging? Damn…What were you thinking?! Yeah, believe or not, but of all possible people, you pressed my ear against your chest and with same hand covered my eyes and ear while holding me close to you with next arm…What a hell, of all possible times, that kind of moment? ’’ of course, Kyo looked away for a moment and now even he could feel how his cheeks and ears started to burn from embarrassment. However, such a reaction was still like a surprise this redhead yet now he was sure that this Kusanagi won’t have any breakdown any time soon.
Nevertheless, Kyo continued without looking at his rival ‘‘Anyway, despite your poor navigation skills, which leads to dead-end each time, we finally escaped NEST lab…So, is this what you wanted hear? ’’. Of course, Yagami sighs while shaking his head after hearing such a twisted tale. Now he just sit back and in his usual manner crosses his legs and spreads his arms on top of couch. Surely, it would been too much effort for this brunette to put this as mere show yet it now it explains what happened previous night, or so thought this redhead.
Even so, he said in slight irritated tone ‘‘I’m still surprised how you can keep acting too arrogant and bold like nothing happened in first place.’’ yet this brunette now rolls toward his rival and fights-back in serious tone ‘‘You know, I may still wake up in cold sweat in the middle of the night, but what happened is happened and I ain’t gonna hold into this or ask to pity me. I ain’t that weak! Besides, as long as I alive, then I know that I can knock you out from getting controlled by your instincts…until your stubborn head will finally realize that you are not alone!’’.
This honest answer left Yagami speechless, now he face-palms and fixes his hair ‘‘You sure can surprise when least expected…yet you’re not quiet answered my question, Kyo.’’. Of course, this brunette’s guard was off and now he was confused. After cracking a smile, he asked ‘‘What do you mean by that? Didn’t I told you everything you wanted to know…’’ after Kyo sighs, he continues ‘‘Besides what happened between you and me in my timeline, it doesn’t mean that it will happen here.’’. This Kusanagi gently smiles and now addresses this redhead in deeper tone ‘‘However, I can show it you. Maybe that will shut you up.’’
Kyo leans closer to Yagami and now was on top of him. It seems Iori didn’t minded this gesture and remains pretty chill. However, this brunette now corners this redhead with one arm and with another one grabs Iori’s shirt. After leaning his face closer, Kyo continues in same tone ‘‘It’s nothing different from what you did, you know. Call this as paying back for what you did to me…’’. However, just when this brunette was about to do something reckless, a familiar voice releases this redhead from this Kusanagi’s spell.

''<...> God, I ask you,
Which is man? Which is phantom?
There’s no justice. There’s no glory in such a fight.
God, tell me now,
Who is mad? Who is conscious now?<...>''
So, surely, the lyrics of this song hits so hard, but this exact part perfectly also matches NEST Kyo emotional state seeing Yagami at that one moment...Well, anyway, rn working on other chapter, cos decided to cut it into half (you know, it would taken longer with 6k. chapter) So, now it's like part 1 out of 2. So, as usual - See you next time!~
