Chapter 324 - Time waits for no one (1/2)

*UNEDITED*

After what happened with Yang, Setsura decided today would be the day she would visit that place. Her mothers death wasn't the only tragic event that happened when she was a child.

In the end she ended up avoiding him, Setsura wanted to talk to him again on the way out. But, it was futile.

Setsura prays at the alter, and places some flowers there. A lot of people came, she scans the crowd and spotted teal. Oh, he came. She wonders if it's okay to talk to him. Recalling what he said the other night she drew her hand back. He's going to get mad at her, she doesn't want to get him worked up in front of all these people either. Maybe right now it's better if there's a distance between them, there's clearly a lot going on his mind right now.

She quickly left the main room and headed up stairs. Setsura took a deep breath before she entered the room. To think that it's already been seven years since then.

She had a sister who she cared for deeply, they weren't blood related. But the girl resembled her a lot, and Father cared for her too.

”This room, it hasn't changed at all.”

How much time did she spend here before she left them and moved out of the house. Setsura bends down and glances at the photo of her sister on the wall. ”Soah.”

Did she want to forget? Did she want to change?

She's already forgotten the reason why she left the house.

”My hair has gotten really long. Recently something strange happened to. I ended up in the Meiji era. In that place there are so many people that only I know,” she trails of, her voice quavering. ”It's things like that, that make me feel so lonely.”

She would like it better if they were together - then she wouldn't be so scared all the time. If Soah was alive, the girl would have handled the events in the Meiji era better. Lately, Setsura kept thinking about all the judgements she has made in that place. There is no truly right or wrong answer, but even then Setsura felt that she made a mistake.

What is it that she wants?

Tears continued to spill from her eyes at a rapid rate. It's a good thing the other guests were downstairs. So many people came, so she knew her presence wouldn't make a difference. Indeed, nobody noticed her. Or maybe they noticed and just forgot who she was? Either way, nobody found it suspicious.

”Sorry Soah, I'm so weird and there's this strange guy who's really making me confused,” Setsura laughed. Would Akito get offended if she called him strange? No he wouldn't, he isn't that type of person. Even now Setsura could feel the warmth of being held in his arms. She hasn't forgotten it for a single day since she came here.

Since that day, she's wandered aimlessly in this world. Wandered around aimlessly, searching around for a place to belong to. Even the place she calls home is not hers to begin with. The Meiji era or her fiancees place - none of those belong to her. A place that is truly hers, it's very difficult to find one it seems.

Soah was her half sister, but she wasn't blood related to her father. She was the daughter of her step mother from her previous marriage. That girl also had a brother.

”You're crying again,” a male voice said from behind her. Siena turned around and spotted red hair standing by the door way. He stood there with his usual trademark expression.

”You really do cry a lot.”

Siena could only stare at him completely dumbstruck.

”I knocked you know. But it's simply impossible to communicate with you when you cry.”

”It's not impossible. And I'm not crying! No that's not it - why are you here?!!” she exclaimed. Rather only one other person knows she came here today. Taiga is so dead! Then again, it's not like Setsura intended to hide it from him. But, considering how they disappeared after having that moment together. Setsura was afraid that she went overboard.

”Is this your room?”

”Well yeah but no -- really why are you?”

Even if Taiga did say it, why on earth is he here?
