Chapter 317 - An excuse (2/2)
An hour later
”You've become a good cook, this is delicious,” Akito said taking a bite of the rice she and steak she cooked.
Honestly, other than meat dishes. She can't cook anything else properly. How very strange, this entire situation. Setsura never thought things would become this strained between Akito and her. While she knew she would eventually have to stop relying on him. Setsura didn't think that things would turn out this way. The only reason why everything became complicated is because they started dating. If they didn't start dating, then - it wouldn't be so awkward now. She needed an excuse to stay by his side. That's why, accepting his hand was better.
Her feelings for him were small at the start. She was confused about many things. Ever since this entire mission started, the only thing she could be sure of was Akito. The only thing she was positive would never change is Akito. Even though they broke up, Akito still wants to stay by her side. She is very lucky and blessed to have him love her so much. However, this love is heavy, it's suffocating and painful.
Setsura thoughts broke off when Akito reached across the table to hold her hand. ”What...”
”Setsura, you have me. You don't have to worry about anything, I'm by your side and I'll never leave you. Your not alone, you don't have to handle everything by yourself. It's scary isn't it? Scarier than when you had no memories at all. Remembering just small pieces - will confuse further. You can't make sense of anything, what's right and what's wrong. Who is your alley, and who is you're foe.”
”Akito...”
How come he knows everything? Why can he see right through her? She isn't that guilable is she? Is it because he is Akito? Is he the only one who can read her emotions clearly like this?
”Setsura, I will always be here. You can talk to me whenever you want, I'll listen.”

Present
Setsura didn't think Chauncey Long would attract so much attention. She tried to use streets with less people, but even then people turned and looked at him. Even over here, he radiates that aura of nobility. By the time they reached Taiga's place, the skies turned orange, signaling the day would end soon. Setsura thought she could sneak back inside but unfortunately both Yang and Taiga were waiting at the gate. Before Setsura could get a word in edge wise though, Yang's eyes turned deadly and she knew the source wasn't her. The source was the person beside her.
”Welcome back Setsu-chan. Where did you go, we were wo---” Taiga glanced over at Chauncey, ”You went to pick up handsome guys?”
'Idiot!' Setsura scolded in her head. Thankfully the other two didn't notice, in fact they were already fighting. Her eyes widened alarmed, when did Chauncey Long leave her side... Didn't Yang react too quickly? What's with their unbelievable reflexes.
”Chauncey, stop!” Setsura said.
At that comment, the blue haired man stopped in his tracks. 'It seems like calling him by his name works,' Setsura thought. 'What a simple guy.' She turned to Yang and frowned, ”I thought we spoke about this already?”
After that accidental meeting last time, Setsura made sure to speak to Yang about Chauncey Long. She knew the full story of why they hated each other. But even then, she didn't want to deal with this messy situation. So she threatened not to speak to him if he fought with Chauncey. It seemed so petty and stupid, but it clearly troubled Yang.
”We did,” Yang grunted. He reached over and pulled her into his arms, ”Come inside with me. I'll treat your injuries.”
”Alright.”
Setsura reluctantly followed Yang, the moment they arrived upstairs. Yang pulled her into his arms. She flinched uncomfortably, ”Yang...not..not now..”
Yang didn't hear her or did he? But he is attacking her neck with kisses in seconds. 'This moron.' She really doesn't want to right now, but if she refuses him - he will get hurt won't he?
Setsura allowed Yang to continue, and eventually he brought her over to the bed. The bed produced sounds of shaking. ”Setsura, when will you truly be mine?”
