~~~Chapitre 13 - At The Cost Of A Life~~~
"I don't really mind having you around, just don't interfere my job."
Yuto smiled warmly as he walked closer to the edge of the building's rooftop.
"You worried too much, Zero." He snickered at the glare the older boy was giving him. "Don't worry. I knew the drill. I'm here so that we could monitor the whole situation well."
"Then shouldn't you stayed with Faith instead ?" Ryosuke raised an eyebrow.
"But I'm worried about you !" Yuto exclaimed childishly, which received a disbelieving look from Ryosuke, and another couple of eyes behind them. "But really, I'm worried about you. What if the same thing happened again ?"
Ryosuke looked away, and focusing on his rifle instead. "Valentine told me to stay away, right ? And beside, I'm stronger now."
"But that doesn't mean that the possibility is gone !" Yuto stated worriedly. "We almost lose you that night, Yama-chan. I don't want it to happen again." He added in a soft whisper.
Ryosuke stayed quiet and busied himself with setting up the rifle before turning over and face the younger, yet taller, boy.
"That would be the first time, and last time, for me to have failed that badly, Dash. Even without you around, I'm not gonna let that man touch me ever again."
With one last cold stare, he then left the boy and to the rest of his team.

"I think I can understand that Nakajima boy's worry."
Ryosuke turned his face toward Keito who is currently staring blankly toward the night sky. It's their third night of stalling, and it'd been past midnight already, and the 6 of them -both Ryosuke and Yuto's team- had decided to take turns for a guard. It's Keito's turn, originally, but Ryosuke just couldn't let his Vice alone. Yuto was awake too, but he decided to take a stroll and patrol the area, dragging the half-asleep Daiki with him, leaving the two boys by themselves while the rest of the team were sleeping.
"What do you mean ?" Ryosuke asked after a while.
Keito sighed, before lying down on the hard ground. "You might be the best member of this Organization, but that doesn't mean that you're flawless, Taichou."
"Your point is ?"
"It's hard to explain." Keito shrugged. "Let's just say that he cared about you deeply. Just like I do."
Ryosuke rolled his eyes, before standing on his feet and walking toward the edge. He looked down through the telescopic sight of one from the three rifles and looked around. He scanned through the area and found Snake leaning against one of the building face down about 2 km away from their place, with his team was nowhere to be found.
He first thought that it was an act of laziness, but he then frowned at the unusual scene before him. He searched once again through the telescope, but found nothing else. Giving up with the telescop, he then reached for the GPS system from his pocket. He tried locating the whereabout of Snake, and his team through the GPS, only to frowned when he found none. He was sure that he saw Snake through the telescopic sight, so he should've appeared on his GPS. It's either the man broke it somehow, which is almost impossible, since it's not Snake's GPS system only which was undetected, but his team's ones as well.
"Could it be possibly..."
Determined to find what's going on, Ryosuke put back his GPS and proceeded to grab two handguns and hide it behind his coat. Taking one rifle with him, he ran toward Keito who had been watching him in wonder.
"Keito, wake Luna up. You and Luna are to be on standby until I give you next instructions." He whispered carefully as he fixed his coat around him.
"Where are you going, Taichou ?" Keito asked him anxiously.
Ryosuke frowned. "Something's wrong with Snake. I couldn't find him on the GPS, but I surely saw him nearby. I need to check on him."
Keito suddenly grabbed Ryosuke's arm as he was about to leave.
"Let's wait for Nakajima, Taichou. This might be a trap. You can't go alone."
"Yes, I can. What if Snake is dead already ? We have to inform this immediatelly. I don't have to wait for Dash 'cause I'll be okay." He then released himself from Keito's grip. "You heard it, Phantom. Don't leave this post until I said so."
Before Keito could protest anymore, Ryosuke had already left their base and into the building. Biting his lower lip, the Vice-Captain thought that he could only follow Ryosuke's order for now. He then turned around and wake their third-seater up. Telling her anxiously to get ready.

"Where's Zero ?"
"He left, around 10 minutes ago."
Yuto frowned.
"Left ? Where ?"
He saw how the older boy turned around irritatedly and trudged toward his direction.
"Let's have a nice talk, Dash-kun."
Giving Yuto no time to answer, Keito had already dragged the tall boy over to one corner of the rooftop, out of the other's hearing.
"Listen to me, Nakajima. The only reason I held back was because Ryosuke was around. And I know that Ryosuke looked up to you a lot, so I was just trying to respect his feelings."
Keito said coldly as he slightly pushed Yuto away.
Yuto's brows furrowed in confusion. "What- ?"
"Shut up and just listen to me." The other boy spatted. "If Ryosuke didn't tell me so, I would be running behind him already by now. But he told me not to leave this place unless he said so, so you're my only choice."
"What are you talking about ?"
Yuto watched how Keito glared at him dangerously.
"It's a trap. Ryosuke went to look for that Snake guy because he couldn't find him through his GPS. But I smelled something fishy about it, and I'm worried that something might be happening to Ryosuke. I've called the base, and they're on it already." Keito stepped back and took a deep breath. "I know you care about Ryosuke just like I do, maybe even more. So can I trust you to protect him ?"
Now that Yuto knew what's going on, he didn't think twice as he nodded his head in determination.
"I'm not going to let anything happened to him." He said as he ran back to where he was just from.
"Even if it cost you your life ?" Keito half-yelled at Yuto's retreating figure.
Yuto halted and turning his face toward Keito, giving him a smile. "Even if it cost me my life."
