Chapter 389 - Akito and Victor Part 1 (1/2)

”So, all of that was an act, huh? You two have a lot of guts; it seems even though you promised me, Setsura, before we left. If you saw someone you knew you would tell me right away.”

'Well, it was a coincidence!' Setsura wanted to yell out. But she knew her words were futile. Ever since they returned, a dark and scary aura emitted around Akito.

”Victor, dare you not report this immediately. You were supposed to tell me everything happening with Setsura. As her guard, you shouldn't let anybody outside our circle approach her. I wonder what punishment I should give you two.”

Victor looked absolutely terrified, but she wasn't like him.

”If you wanted to keep me cooped up at home, then you wouldn't have allowed me to come with you.” She knew Akito had the means to keep her locked away if he wanted it.

”So, you don't mind being locked up.”

”Uh, that's not what I meant..”

”Both of you kneal.”

”Huh?”

Victor grabbed her arm and she sighed. 'It can't be helped.'

After thirty minutes, Setsura regretted agreeing.

Setsura knew this wouldn't go unpunished. But she didn't think she would have to kneel like this… Her legs are starting to go numb. But her gaze fell on Akito. He has the right to be mad. What can she do to appease him?

”Victor leave us alone for a bit.”

At that comment Victor stood up. ”Alright.”

Gahh-- traitor! How could he leave her alone like this? How unfair of him!! The doors closed leaving her alone with Akito. For a moment nobody spoke and the air felt tense. She shifted comfortably.

Akito walked over to her, his heavy strides across the room made her feel even more nervous. But when he extended his arm out and pulled her into his arms, her eyes.

Her emotions are overflowing. This vivid sense of reality is bubbling up inside her. It can't comfort her that much. It's slightly different than the fluttering feeling inside her heart. But something is melting.

Something extremely hardened inside her can easily melt away. She understood it very well, Akito may be a kind person but he can also be a bad person. She knows that he's done many bad things, many unforgivable things. However, no one else can hold her with such tenderness, or understand her the way he does.

She may have said all that and confined in him but she never wanted a response. He knew that instantly. In his arms she can sleep like a baby.

”You must be tired, go to sleep Setsura.”

Go to sleep? Akito laid down on the ground and brought her to his arms. ”Sleep.”

”You should at least bring me upstairs.”

”It's fine, you can sleep in my arms can't you?”

…

Sometimes there are moments which we can't talk to anyone about, because we are embarrassed or simply because they wouldn't understand, you can write those feelings in this diary. It will keep you company, be with you forever, through the happier times where your words will dance on the pages, and the sadder times where your words will smear the pages with your tears.

Etch your memories and fears, your deepest secrets in it – because nobody can afford to be alone. Not even the lone list individuals can be alone.
