Chapter 358 - (2019: Case 02) Part 9 (1/2)

*UNEDITED*

From the very moment they met, Akito already saw her fragile side. He knew her weakness and fears better than anyone. He found out accidentally, but it doesn't matter how it started. What matters is that he can be a pillar of strength for her now.

”I can't be with you. Everyone's going to get hurt. Chauncey isn't going to be the only one. ..that's why.....”

Akito shook his head. From the start none of those things mattered to him. He already decided it then.

Back then he decided he would stand by her side no matter what happens. No matter how many times Setsura pushes him away, he would be there for her. Besides he is very concerned about this matter. He saw from that moving picture box what happened - that explosion. The affect it has on people's bodies, it looks similar to something that happened in the town. Back in his era, people's bodies turned purple after that explosion. 'Only some ended up affected, some came out with normal injuries.'

When Akito saw that, he realized that there is most-likely a connection. The reason why he could come here so easily despite the difficulties the first time is most likely related to this case.

Setsura gave him a blank look and proceeded to walk of again. However Akito didn't let her, he gently grabbed hold of her wrist and pushed

her towards the nearby wall and pinned her with his arms preventing her from escaping. ”You can't go anywhere. Someone, no several people just died. Why would you go of on your own now?” Akito exclaimed.

He heard the news, why? So many victims in such a short amount of time? Are human lives that fragile? Can it be discarded that easily? Akito didn't know what it was, but he got a bad feeling from all of this.

She really is silly and reckless. Even though she looked calm back there, Akito could tell from where he was standing that there was something much more to her expression. Even though he couldn't quite pin point exactly what that was.

”I see, your afraid,” Setsura commented.

His eyes widened, ”Shut up...”

Setsura reached over and placed her hand on his face, sending warmth all over his body. ” I'm not afraid Akito. Even with something like this going on. I've already decided what I have to do. Those people didn't deserve to die. This is my mess, which is why I'll handle the matter as I see fit.”

Indeed, one could easily argue that this only happened because of Setsura. But, Akito wouldn't blame her for this. It's not her fault that people are tar getting her.

”Let me help you.”

Setsura shook her head, ” I can't have that. You aren't supposed to cross this line. Akito, in the end the strongest will win. You don't have to worry about me,” she was about to push him away, but he tightens his grip. Akito didn't want to hurt her, but this girl was acting so very stubborn.

He brushed his lips against her ear.

No.

He didn't want that.

He didn't want her to go anywhere again. In the first place, in the first place it was because she saved him. Because he got wrapped in to a troublesome mess.

Akito leaned forward and kisses her.

Flashbacking to what he said to the caramel colour hair girl no more then a few days ago. ' I won't tell her.'
