The first drabble... fem!Admiral x Hyuuga is kinda strong on this one with some Kongou related drama, welp. Yes, this is based on my failure on Fall Event 2014 E-3.

Anyways, the admiral's name, Kokonose Yuuhi, comes from my IGN 'Yuuhi' and Kokonose means 'Nine Streams' and I liked it though I took it from a KagePro character. Yeah. Oh right, maybe later on I'll make the Akatsuki class nicknames the admiral 'Koko-chan', but still a maybe.


1- "Failure...?"


"I'm...sorry... Hyuuga... I can't do this anymore... I'll give up. I can't see you guys being meaninglessly hurt anymore..."

The girl was not sure if she had the right to cry, but tears fell from her eyes. She- Yuuhi Kokonose, had been such an incompetent Admiral- she blamed herself for the failure they were brought up to. Especially that she had given up- she had seen her loved one hurt, badly, and she didn't want to repeat it anymore.

Everyone's hard work have become a vain, and it was her fault. It would be logical if she got yelled at.

But instead of yell and a slap, she can feel someone's warm hands on her head, patting her slowly.

"It's okay, Admiral.", Hyuuga muttered softly. "It'll be okay. I won't say you shouldn't cry, but... uh... You can cry here."

Hyuuga extended her arms with a blush, and the girl Admiral realized what she meant for.

"E-eh?! Do I even deserves such luxury?!"

"...What-"

The tiny admiral blushed as her sobbing stopped for a while. Waving her hands covered in long sleeves, she attempted to explain.

"N-No! I mean, Hyuuga's hug is REAAAALLY warm, and your chest is- aah, I mean- right now I'm just a failure and I don't think I deserve-"

All of sudden, she felt the said warmth she was talking about just some second ago. Her cheeks flushed in red, so is the taller shipgirl who hugged her. Feeling her beloved secretary's warmth, she started to sob again.

One, five, ten, Hyuuga didn't count how long the girl cried. But she thought it had been more than a half of an hour, or even one and a half, until she stopped sobbing. Hyuuga thought she'll be alright now, but she realized something.

"Admiral..."

Admiral Yuuhi's eyelids was closing and she looks dazed, she started mumbling nonsense, and Hyuuga realized she had been half-asleep after the crying stopped.

"Ah... Really now... Why are you so... cute."

Hyuuga let out a tiny smile, and the Admiral jolted awake, though only a slight.

"H-Huh?! Sorry, Hyuuga! Did you say something? A-after crying I felt so sleepy so-"

She woke up slightly, yawned. Her eyelids were still half-closed in a daze, and Hyuuga didn't feel like repeating her words yet. Instead...

"...It's nothing. I'll carry you to your bedroom if it's necessary- Oh. She's already asleep." Hyuuga sighs when she found out the girl in her arm fell asleep once again.

She carries the smaller girl in her arm, and walked towards the direction of Admiral's dorm room with a tiny smile in her face. When she arrived, she gently lies the small girl in bed and covered her with blanket.

"Oh well, let's get going before Kongou finds out and yell at me... If that happens, Admiral can't sleep soundly soon... Have a good rest."


"Hyuuga! Is the admiral okay?"

Speak of the devil, as Hyuuga stepped out of the room Kongou comes up to her, running.

"...She's fine now. She's asleep, though."

Hyuuga calmly explained, wishing that Kongou won't get angrily jealous and ruined the admiral's naptime. However, Hyuuga soon realized the look in Kongou's face was rather one of worry—something similar with the Admiral just before.

"It was my fault. I was supposed to be the center of the plan... I wanted to apologize."

Their plan was to keep Kongou, the strongest ship girl of the base, to deal the finishing blow- yet, in every failed attempt she was hurt before the blow and the plan failed. It seems like other bases took care of the matter later on.

"...The admiral's okay. She cried out, but she'll be okay if she take a rest now. You can apologize later."

"...But... I—"

"For your information, she blamed herself as much as you did."

"...But it was my-"

"The reason she gave up was because she don't want to see us getting meaninglessly hurt on that cold place anymore. It wasn't because she didn't believe in us—I can feel it when she cried. Kongou, she believed in you that in every attempt she didn't switch you out."

And there were silence.

"...Okay. I'll... just wait until she wake up." Said Kongou, forcing a smile. "T—tell her I want to speak later..."

Hyuuga can only watch as Kongou's figure runs through the hallway.

"Hyuuga... knew better of her compared to me, huh..."
