Chapter 6: Interlude 1
(A/n: following chapters have little or no significance to the main plot thus it is named interlude, you'll get to know why Yuuri doesn't drink in my fiction in this chapter)
Yuuri finds himself in a preparation room dressing up as he checks his urban fatigue uniform, wearing an eye patch over his left eye in his hand was a jungle green beret. In front of him was a large wooden door, the door was old, the color of the door was dark brown, showing how old the door is. The door opens revealing Raven dressed up in the same uniform peeking out the door
"Its time" Raven calls him and Yuuri nods as he puts his beret and steps through the door. As soon as he steps through the door he hears music.
The national anthem of the Soviet Union
Yuuri finds himself bombarded with flashes of light from camera's taking his picture. Yuuri takes of his beret with his left hand
Raven was next to him and he glances at the cameras before looking back at Yuuri and smiling with his arms wide open
"Come into my arms" Raven says and Yuuri obeys and Raven hugs Yuuri and then gives him kisses on his cheeks before turning back to the camera's still taking pictures, Raven leans in and whispers to Yuuri
"Put your beret back on, You'll look more heroic" Raven points out and Yuuri puts his beret back on. They were soon bombarded again but this time by questions and chants
"This way! Comrade Reaper!"
"I love this little fellow!" Raven states
"Reaper! Is it true that you volunteered for our agency?"
"Reaper! How old are you Reaper?"
"Reaper!"
"Do you know what you mean to our agency Reaper?"
Raven smiles as he glanced at Yuuri while holding him arm and arm, Raven leads Yuuri to the end of the hall where there was a throne and someone sitting in it, the person could not be seen directly because of the curtains covering the throne, the person on the throne stands up and Raven says to Yuuri while looking at the person at the throne
"Look at him with pride, because he's looking at you. The whole world is looking at you…"
Yuuri found himself clad in black a black uniform, wearing black balaclava, helmet, and the tactical body armor. He looked around and found himself back on the third floor of a building surrounded by some shady looking men as he found himself pinned to a wall. He sees one of the men in front of him holding a person; he squinted and saw Dr. Rodriguez. The figure holding Dr. Rodriguez smiled at him
He tried to move but he couldn't. He turned to see why and he saw that he was being held by a man wearing the same clothes as him.
"Give up" The man holding Dr. Rodriguez says
The person holding Yuuri smirks and then some gas tanks fade in behind the group of men and Raven takes out his full-automatic pistol and aims for the gas tanks
Boom
The gas tanks explode and the men including Dr. Rodriguez fall; cut down by shrapnel from the tanks. A stray piece of shrapnel speeds towards Yuuri and hits him I the left eye
Yuuri then finds himself dressed in full tactical gear including gas masks and bio/chem. suits with a group of men wearing the same thing on the hot desert-like place and a pile of empty bottles of assorted alcoholic drinks piled up together with his head buzzing and has dreamy looks on his eyes while everyone else was shouting and laughing and…
………Question? What happens when you get………
1. Group of Soldiers dressed in full tactical gear (Imagine how hot it is wearing that much gear)
2. A pile of empty bottles of booze
3. A hot summer day
Yuuri smirks before shouting…
"Fiiieeeeeelllllllllllddddddd Fuuuuuuuuucccccccckkkkkk!"
Raven was currently talking to a reporter and a cameraman and was in a middle of a sentence
"it's just…good old………shhhhhiiiiieeeett" He turns and sees…His men taking off their clothes
…all of their clothes
His head was going to explode
On of them had their underwear already off and was bending over while someone else was seemingly…impaling him with a…long………
Someone else was break dancing
"Wooooooo!" one of the men starts howling, Raven walks over to them with the reporter right behind him
"Stop it! Stop it you assholes! Stop it! Put you clothes on!" Raven orders but it seems that the men were too drunk to notice
"You gonna put on your clothes and quit acting like monkeys?! You stupid mother fuckers!"
The reporter and cameraman were seemingly enjoying this…Raven diverts them and takes the reporters away
Yuuri sits up in bed. Gasping, panting and coughing a bit, sweat drenching his blue pajamas as he catches his breath. He sits himself on the side of his bed facing Wolfram's bed seeing the figure in it still sleeping. He places his left hand on his left eye and sighed then got off the bed and opened his duffel bag and looks for some clothes. But the first thing he sees was the small bag given to him by Raven inside and he pauses for a moment and gets the small bag, he opens the small bag and sees a cell phone and a bottle of pills marked "take one when needed"
The phone starts to ring and Yuuri is startled for a moment and then presses the answer button and then checks to see if Wolfram was woken up by this, fortunately for him Wolfram appeared to be a heavy sleeper. He places the phone next to his left ear and hears
"Go somewhere private before talking" The voice which sounded familiar coming from the cell phone commanded. Yuuri looked around and saw the small room inside the bedroom. He goes to it and sees that it is a small bathroom. He places the phone nest to his left ear once more, but then a thought came to him.
What if Wolfram wakes up and goes here?
He gets out of the bathroom and goes out and approaches the door of the bedroom, he opens the door and then goes through then gently closes the door making sure not to make a sound. Once outside he places the phone back on his ear once more
"Okay, it's safe" Yuuri replied
"Good Sergeant" Yuuri finally recognizes the voice but then thinks about what was just said to him
"Sergeant?" Yuuri asks, the voice chuckles
"I told you, I filed all the necessary papers for you already, and would you believe that upon registration they promoted you to Staff sergeant? A lot of people here miss you, you know…" Yuuri frowns, he opens his mouth and was about to reply when he was cut off
"Or…do you like a desk job?" The voice starts to chuckle and Yuuri gasps as he has a flashback
Flashback
Yuuri was sitting down wearing a visor and was inside a cubicle surrounded by others who were like him; he was holding a pencil in his hand scribbling something down on a notebook. He sighs as he starts singing
I spend my life accounting
With figures and such
To what is my life amounting?
It figures, not much
I have secret desire,
Hiding deep in my soul
It sets my heart afire
To see me in this role
Yuuri continues scribbling as he starts daydreaming
End of flashback
Yuuri starts to shudder
"Now that I think you get your alternative….I got a job for you"
"Huh?"
Over on the other side of the line, in a apartment building in a town nearby; The one talking to Yuuri on the other side of the line was Raven and he was sitting down in a small chair in front of a small table located at a balcony on the sixth floor with two tea cups; one having a spoon and was being stirred by someone else sitting on the other side of the table. The person was completely wearing black with a black cloak and a black balaclava, hiding his face
But not his eyes…
Yellow eyes…so sharp that they could pierce flesh
"I'm looking forward to hearing from you" Raven states
Back over at Yuuri's side of the line, Yuuri paused as he thought of an answer. Yuuri replies with his answer and then ends the call, back at the apartment where Raven was, his companion sips his tea and then puts the teacup on the table
"Do you really think he'll do it?" asked his companion
"I have my doubts…" Raven answers as he was currently on the balcony gazing over the city, he turns and faces the table where his companion was sitting "…what will you do to him….if he refuses?" His companion cups his chin and thinks
"Mmm…I don't know, but since he just joined us again….I'll let this pass, what's important now is he's back with us" He starts to think about Yuuri and his importance to their agency
Flashback
A line of soldiers, standing at attention
A man walking back and forth holding a logbook scrutinizing them, He stops then clears his throat and speaks
"My name…" He starts walking again "Is Major…General….Arah" He pauses a step at each word and stops at the last word as he glances left to right "I've come to take things in hand here" He takes up his logbook and opens it "Now, according to these statistics, one out of ten of our men come back from a mission….alive" He forcefully closes the logbook, the sound of the logbook closing echoes and it startles some of the men
"Do you want to know why?" He asks, silence is his only answer, he starts walking again
"Our training is good, we prepared them for everything, they have good body armor, tactical weapons training, bomb defusal training, hand-to-hand combat training, but the one main problem is…." He stops
"Morale…." He answers "Our agency has existed for a very long time, and it has slipped through history unnoticed….as if we don't exist but…"
"Today our agency is facing the problem of not only losing too many men in the field, but also some deserters….If the agency ceases to exist….the entire world will collapse. Now…I want our boys, to raise their heads….I want them to act like they have…" He stops in front of one man "…BALLS!" He shouts at the man, startling him and then he starts walking again and continues ranting "I want them to st-op shit-ting their pants! That's your job" He points to one of the men "You…what's your suggestion?"
"S-shoot all officers who have deserted…and their men too" He turns to the next man
"M-m-make s-some examples….threaten the families of the d-d-d-eserters" He sighs and turns
"Ughh…we're all doome-' Just as he was about to turn someone shouted
"Give them hope" He turns to the direction where the voice originated, he finds the man who shouted the suggestion
"You…you're the intelligence officer assigned to Captain Raven"
"Here the men's choice is between enemy bullets or ours, but there's another way, a way of courage, a way of love of the agency. We must publish the army newspaper again, we must tell magnificent stories, and stories that excel sacrifice… bravery. We must make them believe in the cause. We must give them hope, pride, a desire to fight. Yes….we need to make examples, but examples to follow" He looks directly at the general "We need…are heroes" The general turns a glance to the side before turning back to the officer
"Do you know any heroes around here?"
"Yes comrade…I know one"
End of flashback
"Morale has been really low since he's gone" Raven's companion states as he props himself up on one hand, gazing at Raven. Raven stares at him for a moment before looking out the balcony window, watching cars, commuters, people, and trucks go by.
A few minutes later Yuuri goes back inside the bedroom to see Wolfram still sleeping. He goes to his bed and gets one of his duffel bags and takes it to the small bathroom and changes clothes
Wolfram's POV
I was awake, yet I was lying in bed with my eyes closed. I dreamed about….I don't actually remember what I was dreaming about…but I was sure…it had something to do with…
Knock, knock knock!
Someone was at the door, I sat up in bed wondering who could it be? I rubbed my eyes; there was no one in the castle except m-
Then I remembered part my dream and then it occurred to me that I was dreaming about…
The doors creek open
Speak of the devil…
I turn my head to the direction of the door; my vision was still a bit…blurry but I saw something that will haunt me for the rest of my life. There, standing in front of the door, holding a tray with both hands, Wearing a…
Wearing a…
Wearing a black maid outfit! With cat ears!
"What the--Oh my GOD!" I feel a tingle down my spine; he was wearing something so frilly! More frilly than my nightgown! he blinks at me a few times before tilting his head a bit to the right closes his eyes and smiling and…oh God! Is he sparkling?!
"Gooooooood mooooornniiinng! Oversleeping Wolfram!" He announces, my left eye starts twitching
Dong… The sound of a church bell ringing in my head
I reached a conclusion….
This guy really is like a girl!
Yuuri's POV
I close the door and enter the room, I smile at him trying to hide the pain in my face caused by the call I just received, I walk towards his bed and set the tray on his bed
Flashback
"…I got a job for you"
"Huh?"
"No…No Way in hell!" Yuuri shout into the cell phone for the fifth time, Yuuri takes a few deep breaths to calm himself
"You remember THAT mission before?"
Flashback inside flashback
Yuuri was in a study room alone in a mansion with a doctor that goes by the name of James who had long blonde hair tied into a ponytail blue eyes, wearing spectacles, stoic face, about 40 years old and had no wife; was suspected of manufacturing chemical/biological weapons; He was tasked with the objective of distracting the good doctor while a group of men scouted the rest of the mansion and planted hidden cameras and listening devices to monitor the doctor's actions
They found some men's magazines scattered around the mansion with some of them having some white, sticky substance
So that's why he doesn't have a wife…
And Yuuri got the "short straw"
"Okay, Heart sounds good" The doctor says as he puts down his stethoscope and gets a pair of latex gloves "Alright Mr. Shibuya I'm just gonna need you to drop your pants and we'll check your prostate"
Prostate? I wonder what that is…
"Uhh……What?"
"Drop your pants, Turn around, and lean forward"
"Uhm….okay?" Yuuri unbuckles his pants, turns around and leans forward
Slap! The sound of the latex gloves being put on, the doctor positions himself behind Yuuri and his spectacles flash
"So…uh how does this work? do you just feel my pulse or--AaaaaaaAH..Aaaaah!! Ahhh!!"
Crash!
"Huff….Hufff….Huf…Hufff…What the hell was that?!" Yuuri demands
"Mr. Shibuya that was a prostate exa-"
"Shut up! You had your finger in my ass!"
"That's how a prostate exam is performed, now if you'll just let me-"
"Get away from me!"
Bang!
Yuuri runs out the door crying all the way
"I refuse to get 'close' with my target!"
"There will come a time where you must do something above and beyond the call of duty. That thing is called sacrifice" Raven states
"No disrespect intended sir but….Shove it up your ass!"
Beep….
Yuuri turns off the cell phone
End of flashback
"Breakfast is served!" I announced, He looks back and forth at the food and me
"Uh…Thanks?" He says, I noticed something wrong with his eye as it was twitching a bit…I lean over next to his face
"Is there something wrong?" I ask him, I think I startled him because he suddenly jumped back a bit, I pull back
"N-nothings wrong!" He waves his hands at me It's just…uhmm….you found the kitchen by yourself?" He asks
"Meh…it took me a while, but I found it. I must say, what a very nice kitchen you got here…I think I'll like it here" I confessed
"What are you wearing?" He asks
"It's a maid outfit"
"I can see that"
He clears his throat
"Ermmmm…Y-you cook? Mr. Shibuya?" I smile at him
"It's Yuuri and Yes…and I apparently bake as well" I point out, I start narrating the menu
"Enjoy…This sweet and sour pork, Fresh juice that I just made here, strawberry short cakes, some lasagna, and this salad with mayonnaise dressing, chicken legs and wings marinated in barbeque sauce, and last but not least…..have some of my mother's curry!"
Wind blows through the room as silence ensues
"Uh…let me get this straight, you wear a maid's outfit?"
"Yes" I answer
"And you cook?"
"Yes" I answer again
"And you're a guy?"
"Yes" I answer once more; I was beginning to wonder if this was a Game of 30 questions
"Is there a problem with that?" I ask him, his eye starts twitching madly
"O…O…O-" I quirked my eyebrow
"O…?"
"Okama?"
'Grins evilly' I really wish I was a doctor! XD

I wonder…what was Yuuri scribbling?
Did the "Job" Raven has given to Yuuri involve what he is doing now?
Words will always retain their power
Words offer the means to meaning and for those who will listen…the annunciation of truth
And the truth is…there is something terribly wrong with world I put Yuuri in, isn't there?
I have made this fiction in a way that makes people become confused with the lack of certain information and mismatches of certain parts of my plot
If in this fiction, you see nothing
If the conspiracy remains unknown to you…then, I would suggest you would allow this fiction pass unmarked
But if you see what I see
If you feel as I feel
And if you would seek as I seek…Yuuram
Then I ask you to simply continue reading my fiction
