Before washing himself and calling it a day, the younger brunette heads towards the redhead’s bedroom. Maybe Iori wouldn’t mind him borrowing some fresh clothes for tonight, would he?
‘Hopefully, he has more or less my size or decent clothes.’ Or so, Kyo naively hopes as he reaches the bedroom door.
That’s why, with no second thought, he opens the door.
As the Kusanagi enters inside, he widens his eyes in shock. What he sees in front of him instantly ruins his mood.
After he clenches his hands into fists, he whispers ‘‘What a hell is this?’’.
While approaching the bed, Kyo nearly growls ‘‘Who the fuck is this? Is that a fucking bastard?... That’s it. You’ve gone too far, pal.’’.
Meanwhile, the familiar-looking brunette who wears a blue pajama peacefully sleeps in Iori’s bed.
For sure, the younger Kusanagi’s heir cannot tolerate the audacity of his look-like anymore. When Kyo gets close to the bed, he carefully climbs onto the bed and corners his assaulter.
This is his chance to avenge what this maniac did to him. Even if the brunette’s hands tremble, he places them around this cheap replica’s neck.
Yet, the older brunette smiles while murmuring something during his sleep. Along with letting out purring-like noises, Kyo’s look-alike blissfully opens his eyes ‘‘What is it? Does someone have a nightmare, Ya-’’.
After the Kusanagi’s heir realizes who was on top of him, his eyes are wide open, and his smile instantly disappears.
‘‘Oi, how did you get there? Haven’t I warned you not to follow me, you cheapskate?’’ The older Kusanagi asks in a calm yet threatening tone.
Suddenly, he kicks his knee into his opponent’s stomach.
The younger Kusanagi falls next to his doppelgänger while groaning in pain.
Yet, it doesn’t affect the brunette in a blue pajama, nor does he show any mercy. He just harshly pushes the younger Kyo out of bed.
Meanwhile, Iori gets startled by the sudden loud noise. For sure, it sounded like something heavy fell in his bedroom.
‘Perhaps Kyo lost the balance and tripped over the thin-air.’ Or so, the redhead wonders.
‘‘It cannot be helped, then… That stupid brat cannot be left alone even for five minutes! What did he think of this time? That stupid trouble-maker...’’ Yagami complains while standing up and heading to his bedroom. Yet, he hopes that nothing serious happened to his rival.
Meanwhile, in Iori’s bedroom, the war has just begun.
The older Kusanagi leans to the edge of the bed and sees how the cheap clone is doing. Surely, he is satisfied seeing his look-alike curling into a ball, yet giving a hateful gaze at him.
‘‘Hehe~ Serves you right, you low-life! However, this time I won’t be kind.’’ Kyo, in blue pajama, mocks his enemy.
As soon as he notices the so-called clone’s left leg covered in a medical bandage, he indignantly remarks ‘‘What an actual fuck is this? Did that idiot take care of a pesky clone? Is he out of his goddamn mind?’’. After shaking his head, he continues in the same tone ‘‘He better have a good reason for this.’’.
However, as the wounded brunette tries to get up, he receives a punch into his face with a harsh comment ‘‘I’m not done yet!’’.
While older Kyo roughly breathes, he scolds the fallen Kusanagi ‘‘Who gave you a right to interrupt me?! You can do what you want when I’ll send you back to your creator!’’.
After the younger brunette spits the blood on the side and wipes his lips, he pitifully growls while grinding his teeth ‘‘Who the hell are you? And what do you want from me and Yagami? Do not think I’ll forgive you that easily, you sick bastard!’’.
Even so, the fallen Kusanagi’s eyes are burning with fury, making his opponent chuckle ‘‘You can’t be serious…’’
After swooshing his hair, the older Kyo explains ‘‘Are you a defected copy or something? I know that you all are brainless creatures, but I at least expect you to know on whom you are based.’’.
As he ignites his fist, he proudly announces ‘‘Fine! Listen, before I’ll roast you. I am the one and the only—Kusanagi Kyo!’’.
However, as quickly as the orange flame appears, the quicker it perishes, and he closes his eyes. As he opens his amber eyes, the brunette asks ‘‘Any last words, you filthy trash?’’.
When the older Kusanagi leans closer, he gets knocked by the opponent’s upper punch.
After the younger Kyo jumps on the bed and climbs on top of his doppelgänger, he grabs him by the pajama’s shirt and brings it close to his face ‘‘You talk too much, buddy. How about I’ll help you to cool down a bit?’’.
Suddenly, the brunette closes his eyes and smashes his forehead against the impostor.
For sure, after such a painful strike, they nearly black out. While the younger Kusanagi’s head is spinning, he addresses the fellow brunette with a smile on his face ‘‘That should do it… Teaching ye a lesson~ But it’s not over yet, man. We’re just starting. Yup, not only you are a back-stabber and a creep but also poorly imitate my flame.’’.
However, just before he claims his victory over the young man in the blue, he gets startled by the confused voice behind him ‘‘The hell I’m witnessing?...’’.
Kyo widens his eyes in terror and slowly turns his head toward that sound. Even his grasp loosens on the older brunette’s shirt hits, and he could barely speak ‘‘Yagami?’’.
It is the last drop of the redhead’s sanity. Only observing the surreal fighting scene in disbelief made him question whether he was going insane.
Finally, Iori falls on his knee like a rag doll while his eyes are still wide open in denial.
Suddenly, he cracks a wide smile. While his eye twitches, the redhead silently chuckles. Yet, as soon as Yagami places his hand on his face, he laughs like a madman.
After the older brunette pushes away his opponent, he rushes towards the redhead’s side. When Kyo places his hands on Iori’s shoulders and shakes him, he addresses him in a concerned tone ‘‘Oi, Yagami… Get a hold of yourself!’’. Even gently slapping his cheek while begging Yagami to snap out is not effective.
Meanwhile, the younger Kusanagi carefully approaches the redhead as well. However, all he could do was sit next to the young man in blue pajamas without having no clue what was happening to Yagami.
It is also the last drop of the older Kyo. As he shakily clenches his palm into a fist, he yells at his doppelgänger ‘‘Look what you have done, you disgusting mistake of god! I won’t forgive you!’’.
After the Kusanagi pushes down his opponent, he chokes him ‘‘I’ll make sure that this time all cheap copies will rot in hell!’’.
Fortunately, the sound of the younger brunette gasping and choking returns to Iori’s senses.
When he separates two ferocious Kusanagi, Yagami shouts at them ‘‘Cut it out before I’ll kill you on the same spot!’’.
As Iori roughly breathes, the younger brunette pushes himself up by his elbows and speaks up ‘‘Don’t just stand here, you idiot! I found this psycho sleeping in your bed. So, he is the one who cowardly assaulted me!’’.
However, the Kusanagi in blue pajama counter-attacks ‘‘What are you saying, you fake!? Oi, Yagami, do not listen to this clone. I’m the real one!’’. After lowering his gaze, he stares at Iori with big eyes ‘‘Why did you let this filth inside your house and even treat his wounds? What were you thinking, you stupid moron?’’.
‘‘Who the hell you call a clone, you third-rate cosplayer? You are nothing more than a creep!’’ The younger Kyo indignantly backfires.
Once again, these two mad cats are ready to shred each other into tiny pieces just by their gaze alone, ignoring Iori’s presence.
However, before the redhead’s bedroom becomes a destroyed battlefield, he deeply exhales and acts on time. While these two are busy ferociously staring at each other, Iori smacks their heads ‘‘Will you just stop already!’’.
Finally, he got the attention of the twins. As he roughly breathes, he points his finger at the older brunette ‘‘You!... You’re going with me.’’.
A second later, he addresses the younger Kyo in the same strict tone ‘‘And you… You, change your clothes and join us in the living room.’’.
Lastly, he speaks to both of them ‘‘Do you understand? Because I won’t repeat it twice. Move!’’.
For once, the twins agree on something, and they decide it is wiser to do as Yagami asks them to behave.
Some time passes. Finally, the younger Kyo, who wears a brown silk pajama, joins Iori and the impostor on the couch.
While the older Kusanagi leans close to Iori, he asks him ‘‘What are you planning this time? Why haven’t you finished this clone? Don’t tell me he brain-washed you… Whatever he told you is a fucking lie!’’.
However, the redhead only facepalms and shakes his head. After he sighs, he addresses the twins ‘‘I’m not sure how this happened, but neither of you can’t leave. Not until I’ll figure out what is going on. So, in the meantime, I’ll let you two live for free, but under one condition. You need to take care of my apartment. I don’t care how you will divide the house choirs! It’s none of my business, got it?’’.
Suddenly, the younger Kyo objects ‘‘You must be joking, right? There is no way that I’ll live together with that freak! Besides, I can’t skip school because that maniac showed up…’’.
Unfortunately, that innocent gaze doesn’t work on Iori. The redhead replies in an indifferent tone ‘‘I haven’t fully forbidden you to leave. Just make sure that you two won’t be seen together.’’.
After the brief pause, the redhead explains ‘‘One more thing—you two will sleep on the couch. Do you have more questions before I’ll go to sleep?’’.
‘‘Are you out of your mind, Yagami? What if that crazy pyromaniac will kill me during my sleep?’’ The younger Kusanagi objects.
Yagami only rolls his eyes and casually answers ‘‘Ah, good for you. Just make sure that you two clean up after yourself when you’re done.’’. In the end, Iori wishes them a good night and leaves alone, hoping tonight he’ll get some rest.
