No Such Thing as Romance (Byakuya Togami x Reader Fanfiction)

Chapter 18

  After the distressing call from Makoto, you joined Byakuya in a large helicopter as a squadron of the aircrafts took off. You hustled into a large helicopter with Byakuya and three other pilots. Byakuya barked commands into a headset and directed pilots where to head. You sat helplessly amongst the chaos, listening to the bustle around you. 

  The massive headquarters came into view a few minutes later, seemingly dead due to lack of activity or electricity.

  "Take it down! Immediately!" Byakuya's yelling caught your attention. A helicopter was spotted, but you didn't recognize it as one of Future Foundation's helicopters. That, and it was also firing at some person on the ground without  permission. 

  A large door on the side of the helicopter flew open as one of the pilots opened it, carrying some military missile launcher. You stood up with Byakuya and held on to designated handles as the wind fought to vacuum you out. 

  "Quickly!" Byakuya called. 

  The pilot aimed and fired at the helicopter, the loud rumble of the launcher shaking you.

  Damn, why don't I get a weapon like that?

  The helicopter went crashing down, plowing into the shore. 

  "Byakuya!" The figure on the ground called. You recognized the brunette afro as Yasuhiro. 

  "Have some respect!" Byakuya yelled to him. You couldn't help but notice the small smile on his face.

  The helicopter landed; Byakuya immediately left to help Yasuhiro. You followed soon after.

  Several minutes later, you finished a conversation with a group of agents and went to check on Byakuya's status.

  "What's going on?" You joined Byakuya as he supervised working agents.

  "We're using explosives." Byakuya replied.

  "Explosives?" You were startled.

  "Correct. It seems the most effective way to get inside."

You considered pointing out the many arguments against the idea, but gave up and chose not to.

  Several minutes later, immense heat surged through the area as the dynamite activated. Yasuhiro ducked from flying rubble as the side of the building was demolished.

  "You probably killed someone." You approached the settling dust.

  "Unlikely." Byakuya followed you.

  Agents scoured the area. The room you opened up was massive, with something resembling a secretary's  desk near the center. The area was a wreck, with deep cracks snaking through the walls and piles of what used to be the ceiling scattered on the floor. Any functioning device was now inactive. Currently, there was no signs of life in the area.

  You stepped over piles of rubble as you entered the building. Byakuya followed, telling Yasuhiro to stay at the entrance. 

  "Byakuya, there's someone here." An agent called. You looked to see who the agent was referencing. 

  An unmoving, anonymous woman laid at the desk, the life completely drained out of her. Apparently, the agent didn't realize such a thing, and decided to attempt to help the clearly deceased woman. 

  "Excuse me, miss. Are you alright?" He reached a hand towards the corpse. 

  "No, wait! Don't get near that!" Byakuya attempted to stop the agent, but his underling had already touched the body. The ground rumbled, knocking you and the other agents off balance.
