Chapter 314 - Why? (1/2)

*UNEDITED*

”It looks like many mercenaries have joined his side. This wasn't done overnight, he's planned it for the past few years. I'm afraid that there's a high chance he will win. Now tell me exactly, why do you need something like this?” Taiga demanded.

”Just a little something.”

Taiga sighed, ”Aren't you dating Setsu-chan now? Don't do anything that will cause her problems.”

”Were dating in the past, not the future.”

'Although, it makes no difference whatsoever to him.' ”Besides, this isn't the time to be talking about such things.”

Yang didn't plan to return to the future at all. However, since he is here - he might as well check on Shinji and the Kaname family. What the latter are up to. Cynthia already briefed him on a few things before he left.

”What do you actually plan to do about Setsura? Are you serious?” Taiga questioned. ”If you are, please don't fool around.”

”While you have no right to lecture me. I will tell you straight. I'm serious about her.”

”Well, you've always liked her.”

Huh? Yang looked at him with wide eyes, how come he knows about that?

Taiga laughed, ”You made it way too obvious. You've always liked her.”

So, everybody knew? Is that why they backed away? Huh, so they knew about it.

Sure the one who she will seek 'comfort and warmth' from will most likely be Akito Even if he tells her not to, it will be something that she can't prevent. Besides as much as he hates the idea of her falling asleep in anyone's arms other than him. He doesn't want her to fall asleep all alone. He doesn't want her to fall asleep crying without anyone. When he leaves, she will cry, she will cry a lot. No matter how resolved she is now; and that's why Yang won't do anything about Akiyl now. The others are looking ahead towards another future, so they can move forward. A future even without Setsura huh?

One of the reasons why he followed Setsura to the future is because he understands. Her heart is plagued with worries and darkness. If there is something he could do to ease that pain than he shall do it without hesitation.

Setsura, the extent of her pain and suffering is truly unimaginable. Why does a woman like her have to go through all of this? If there is truly a god out there, then he wants answers. Why does it have to be her?

She shall still suffer even more from now onwards. No doubt, from now on things will become more difficult for her.

But, now that she has accepted his hand. He shall doing everything in his power to make sure you are not consumed in the darkness; like back then. He will ensure that you do not end up becoming the devil.

She may not be pure and innocent but that smile and aura of her's that radiate the sun and the moon; and her voice that soothes peoples hearts will remain like a Angel -- Yang paused. 'What sort of crazy things is he thinking?'

Yang knew his feelings for Setsura kept growing. However, he didn't think it would end up like this.

”You've always liked me?” a familiar voice said at the door way.

At that comment Yang turned to the source, ”Oi, go back to sleep.”

”I'm hungry,” Setsura walked over and tugged on his hand. It was a first for him, seeing her act this docile. ”Make me some food.”
