Hypnosis Microphone: Red Division Unfolded Story

XII: Await

Tooru stands in the middle of the large office room with grand designs and decoration. From the interior design, his gazed stuck to a figure in front of him. Kadenokouji Ichijiku, the advisor of Prime Minister, is sitting on her chair, staring at him with her stern face.

"Kurusu Ivan Tooru...I got a report there was a fuss, the illegal rap battle happened in the Kurusu Medical Center just now...mind to explain?" said Ichijiku with serious deep voices. Her gazed pierce into Tooru's soul.

"Aww, you're being too serious Kadenokouji-chan, C'mon, don't frown~ you wrinkles soon, you know?" pouts Tooru with his high pitch voices.

"Shut your trap up! You are a pain in my eyes and your voices are annoying like a cicada in the summer!" loud Ichijiku, strict in her tones. "You think, you're wearing in the female dress I can turn the blind eyes?" Tooru sighs.

"I can't believe I heard that from someone who held the high position, you think I'm wearing woman's dress to get recognition?" reply Tooru, with his normal voices instead.

Ichijiku smirks, "Hoo? So, you are telling me, you just a mere pervert that wearing woman outfit to satisfy their own wild fetish? How gross." Tooru glared at Ichijiku. But the woman doesn't even flinch by his glare.

"Stop beating around the bush, you were on the scene, isn't? The quarrels between Kurusu Reiko, your daughter and Yamada Ichiro" Ichijiku rest her hand on the armrest.

"I am, and I'm the one who allows them, although Kurokawa-kun was there to stop them" admitted Tooru. "Well, I know we're in Chuoku district, but we're in Kurusu Medical Center, the private estate of Kurusu Group, why do you bother with some incident in our own private land?" Ichijiku glared at Tooru with uninterested expression.

"All Kurusu family members are acting like a monkey, too comfortable with your privileges and position makes you act like a hooligan. You just do whatever do you want"

Tooru sneers, "Oho, so you dare to lay your hand on Kurusu Group? Bring it on! If only you want your government fell as the previous government did..." Ichijiku just stares into Tooru eyes.

"That is the reason why I hate riches people" mutters Ichijiku. "Hmph! I'll let you go this time, but better watch your attitude next time" warned Ichijiku.

"Okayy~~" replied Tooru with his rascal attitude. Ichijiku clicks her tongue. "Now leave, you just hurt my eyes", in same times, the room's door opened, as Tooru walk out from the room.

As soon as he walks out from the office and makes his way into his car, Tooru sigh in relieve. "That was tense" pouts him.

"Oh, anyway~" he took out his phone. "I wonder how's her condition?"

.•*¨*•.¸¸♬

"Yes, sir,...understand..." Eiji calls off his phone as he walks at the corner of the hospital hallway. He makes his way to the intensive care room in the Emergency Department. The sign still lights on, telling them that the patients still under critical conditions.

His gaze moved to the teens that sit across the ICU's door room, Jiro is leaning his back at the wall behind him, while Saburo's body forward rests both his elbows on his knees, while his hand held his chin. Both of them stare at empty space.

Eiji walk towards them, "Why do you guys sit here? Isn't you should be resting in your room?" asked Eiji, concerned with the boys' conditions. Both Jiro and Saburo look at him, "We feel anxious if stay in the room" confess Saburo. Eiji smiles as he sighs.

"But, waiting here also no much different, right?" said him, took a seat next to Saburo.

"Mr....um..."

"Kurokawa, my name is Kurokawa Eiji. Feel free to call my 'Eiji'" he introduced himself to the brothers as he is aware Jiro trouble to address him.

"Uhmm, Eiji-san...thanks"

"Huh? Why are you thanked me?" Puzzled Eiji.

"For try to stop nee-chan just now..." Eiji speechless. "Yeah, and thanks for use that thing to cancel her waves" add Saburo.

In Eiji's opinion, his action just now is a mere of his selfish side... but to think these boys went up to gratitude to him. He smiles.

"She is so lucky to have a caring brother like you guys" Jiro and Saburo tilted their head. "I meant, Reiko...she's lucky"

Jiro and Saburo look at each other. "We still lose some of the puzzles in our memory" Eiji glance at Saburo.

"But, we able to feel that, she had been looking after us since we're a kid..." add Saburo.

"Yeah, there must be the reason for the decision choice she'd make..." support Jiro.

"Whatever it is...she still our sister" add Jiro. Eiji speechless to heard that from Jiro and Saburo. Then, he smiles. "Yeah, you were right"

"Oyy, Jiroo, Saburooo" they turn their head when heard their name called by a very familiar voice.

"Nii-chan!!" "Ichi-nii!!" they respond, stand up.

"What the hell, you guys were here, I really worried when didn't see you guys in the room, you know?" pants Ichiro.

"Oh, sorry Nii-chan, we didn't tell just now" apologized Jiro.

"How do you know we're here?" ask Saburo.

"Dr Aijima told me, she asked the nurse just now," said Ichiro, while pointing at the doctor that treats him just now. She smiles to look at her patients doing fine. Then, her violet eyes stuck to a figure that sits along with her patients.

"Ah, Eiji, you're here as well?" greet her, when saw the person. Eiji nodded, "Um, uh...yes" replied him, hesitant.

Ichiro puzzle, "You know each other? An acquaintance?" the doctor chuckles, "More than acquaintance..."

"Eiji is my little brother," said the doctor. The Yamada drops silent, as their eyes exchanges glance between Dr Aijima and Eiji. "Aijima is Akane-nee's husband surname, her maiden surname is Kurokawa" explain Eiji.

"O-oh, I-I'm sorry"

"Don't mind, don't mind" smiles Dr Aijima. Both of them totally looks different, while Eiji looks intense and fierce with his thick eyebrows, Dr Aijima looks so gentle and feminine.

"Nii-chan, are you alright?" ask Jiro.

"Yeah, I'm fine! I'm fine!" said Ichiro. Suddenly, he felt a heavy aura from his back, Dr Aijima stares at him with a doomed expression.

"You just mere lucky because Reiko-chan is an amateur, so her hypwaves not as dangerous as others." Ichiro just grinned awkwardly. "Y-yes, sorry" mumbles Ichiro.

She sighs, "Good grief, I've told you to take a rest for weeks and avoid to involved in hypmic waves for at least a month, and it's not even 24 hours yet" nag her.

I think I'll take back her 'gentle and feminine' line just now. Monologue Ichiro.

Dr Aijima look at the ICU room in front of them, "Oh my, is there where Reiko was admitted?" ask her. Eiji replied as yes.

"Hopefully, she'll be alright" looking how concerned her expression is, makes the other worries as well.
