We Will Meet Again

Year 20XX

"Yang, did you know that before that .. wasn't the one I was in love with you. It was always --"

"The snow has lightened up a bit. Guess we can call for the bill now," Yang turned to leave.

Did he ignore her? "Yang, I --" Setsura took a few steps forward and extended her hand out. Her violet orbs went wide when he slapped her hand away.

"I'm sorry, please stay away from me right now. It seems like I've misunderstood."

"Misunderstood?" Setsura repeated.

"I mean the atmosphere just now was. .quite...Between you and I, it was quite like a confession," Yang muttered.

"If, if it wasn't a misunderstanding, then would you hate it? Do you hate me?" Setsura asked. Even though it was feelings from the past, there is still something there that's lingering. Since that guy gave her the opportunity, then she ought to properly confirm the situation, in order for her to properly take that step forward.

Yang turned around, and her eyes went wide, seeing his fl.u.s.tered cheeks, "It does bother me. Suddenly you look like a grown-up woman. I thought so earlier, but you shouldn't get so close to me like that."

He was actually blushing... Setsura felt her heart beating faster when she saw that.

"Oh wait, I'll confirm this with you now. What have you seen me as up until today?"

"Eh? Uh, well, like a little sister."

"I knew that." It really was like what she was thinking. No wonder he didn't notice her advances before.

.....

Present

Now that she thought about it. Yang resembles somebody she knew in the future, from her original time period. They even have the same name. Yang doesn't know this, but while she did take that medication. She also took another one. A medication that allows her to choose which memories to forget. When she first arrived in the Meiji era, she came without any memories.

That's why, when Setsura saw the medication. She immediately understood something was wrong with it. The reason she took it though was for several reasons. One for her own safety, if she forgets for a while, then the enemies won't see her as a threat. That was her original plan, but then she became attached to this person.

Setsura glanced over at Yang, who was getting some food for her in the stalls. How much longer can she keep this up? What's more, Katakura keeps following her around! If he keeps doing that, then she will get caught in no time. Yang thinks she forgot everything from the moment she came here till he saved her.

Initially, Setsura struggled to choose which memories to say, that's why it ended up that way. Yang from this time and that Yang from the future. Setsura already knew they were the same person. At first, she thought it was a coincidence. Anyone can have the same name and yet the same appearance. This behavior, surely it isn't a coincidence.

"So, can you tell me something?" Yang asked.

'He suddenly looks so serious.'

"Why, are you doing this?" he muttered. "You could live a peaceful life. One free from worries, but you don't."

Setsura knew what he was vaguely trying to hint at. Such a foolish person, doing everything so indirectly. But, she supposes she was the same type as him.

"The reason why I'm doing this, I don't actually have a particular reason."

Yang raised his eyebrows at this, but he didn't say anything.

"You see, I understand better than anybody that this world is a piece of trash. I understand that unlike what everybody thinks, there are many things that can't be solved. Some still see the world through a rose-colored glass, people who believe in peace. That is fine, that's what they chose. Choosing to turn a blind eye to pain isn't wrong. Humans are fragile creatures; they cannot handle things that will cause them grief and sorrow."

"Humans are foolish. I guess that explains why I'm a piece of trash," Yang muttered.

'She never once thought of him that way, though.' Setsura, however, kept these comments to herself.

She took a deep breath and continued, "I still love this world despite everything. Despite all the pain and suffering people go through. I have faith that humans will continue to evolve. It might not be fast, but I believe we will continue to improve.." Setsura trails of and smiles, "Even now I have those same feelings, no, they've probably grown a lot stronger. That's why I want to confirm it first. Until then, will you stay with me, Yang?" she muttered the last line so quietly.

It's so selfish for her to drag people into her mess. However, she understands one thing. She can't live without another person by her side.

"Of course," he lightly knocks her head with his hands and trails of, "Hey Setsura?"

"Yes?"

"I want to cling to your lips one last time tonight."

Suddenly he said something unexpected, until a moment ago they were talking about in-depth matters. But now he peered into her eyes, directing his alluring gaze her way.

Yang gently wiped away the tears that had collected from the corner of her eyes. "There's no need to reply is there?"

And their lips softly laid on each other. He kisses her hard, Setsura's back hit a wall. A pillar. But, she knew he had pinned her against something.

Yang's lips were kissing her so hard that she could feel her lips swell up. A massive tremor ran through her body, and a voice escaped her lips. "Ngh…"

She felt her body gradually grow hotter and hotter at his words.

"It's alright, Setsura, just a little bit more," he muttered.

Before she could reply, Yang's tongue invaded her mouth. His tongue searched for hers and tried to intertwine his tongue with hers. Embarrassed, Setsura tried to escape from him. But he wouldn't let her. There was absolutely no escape from his arms. "Aahh ngh," such strange sounds escaped from her mouth.

"Bring out your tongue. It'll feel better, I promise."

As her vision blurred, Yang's words further increased her shame. This really is embarrassing. They're making out in a public area… is anybody watching? Setsura was too afraid to find out, so she just focused on his kiss and his strange words.

He wasn't commanding her or trying to dominate her. His voice is very sweet and gentle. She shouldn't. If she does, it wouldn't be one-sided anymore, and yet she couldn't resist as he said some sweet words. Setsura suddenly brought out the tip of her tongue. It became quite clear when he began to lick the tip of her tongue. It made her voice come out louder, louder, and...Setsura panted heavily as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Damn, is this too much?" he murmurs in her ear as he slowly brought his tongue out.

Setsura was completely out of breathe. "Ahgh …idiot…why did you do that so suddenly ?"

Yang looked at her with a smirk, "Well, let's just say I'm a very possessive person."

Wait, is that why he did that? Is he crazy!
