We Will Meet Again

*UNEDITED*

"Akito, you're definitely messing with me!

"I would never", he brushes his fingers against the girls ears trailing down to her neck. And he could hear it quite clearly, how loudly her heart was pounding.

"Let go of me already!"

The girl clearly reached her limit. " It's okay, it's okay. You smell so good."

"Complimenting me will get you nowhere!"

Yuhi merely responds with a light laughter. Truly it's only when he's with her is he able to relax. Since she left for Korea, it felt as though he had been purposely taking on more work to fill in the girls absence.

He catches the girls amethyst orbs looking at him, her cheeks turning scarlet by the minute. She really does get embarrassed easily, even though she's always says such bold sounding lines. As he meets the girls gaze however, he notices a graze above the girls eyes. As he brushes his hand against her brunette locks so he could get a clear view, "Your eyelid…"

"Huh?"

"It's swollen,"he trails of and catches a glimpse of the girls leg, to see a bandage wrapped around it, "And you're leg is injured. You've lost a lot of weight too and you're a lot paler now."

It pained Akito seeing her this way. Setsura must have understood since she reached over and brushed her hands across his cheeks. "Everything happens for a reason Akito."

"Don't use that logic now. How can that justify you getting hurt?"

"Because I'm human."

At that comment Akito knew he could not say a word to her. Setsura can be very stubborn when she wants to be. Still, no matter how stubborn she gets. Akito knew how to make the girl become honest.

He didn't say those words so she would go ahead and do something reckless. Feeling the girls hand brush against his, his eyes went wide, " What's wrong?"

"I really do…want to be closer to you Akito."

Hey hey, she is the one who made this completely difficult in the first place. Why break up with somebody you harbor feelings form

"What do you want me to do?"

"Hold me tight please and don't let me go".

He pulled the girl back into his arms causing her to tumble on the ground, as he buries his head in her neck, " Close enough?"

"Not yet, closer."

It was already dangerous with this distance. Akito knew if he got any closer, things would turn out badly. But, so what if they did? Akito didn't want to turn Setsura into a cheater. But, how can he resist this girl in his arms?

"Selfish girl,"he murmurs in her ears.

So selfish.

And yet, this entire time he thought the same. It didn't matter to him what people thought. From the very start, this girl belonged to him, and him alone. Akito brought his lips to hers and noticed the tears in her eyes. He brushed his fingers across, "Sssh, Setsura. Don't cry, your not a bad person. It's me, it's because of me."

The reason why she pushed herself this far..

..

When he saw the girl doze off, he carefully wrapped his jacket around her. 'So much for doing something.' What stopped him from doing anything more than kissing? It made little sense to him, this was the perfect opportunity to do something. To do anything, to her. Yet he didn't, why? Akito didn't understand it very well.

Akito lights his cigarette and picked the scattered books on the ground. Only to spot a light blue novel with clouds as the design.

Soaring Through the Sky, S.

That author doesn't ring a bell and it's weird how there is a single initials. Akito hesitantly picked up the book. Now that he thought about it carefully, this was among her belongings wasn't it?

[I want to be like a cloud.

Tora is just like a bird.

I love you. I really really love you.]

Huh? What is this feeling? This is the first time he has felt like this. Akito has read many books, he even has his own library of books he's collected throughout the years. It's completely different than all the other stories he encountered before. ' I love you' huh? This guys pretty good, this story is written beautifully with not only a creative mind set. But he is able to convey his words to the person he has feelings for. For a pretty good book though, this is the first time he's ever heard of it. This publishing company too isn't familiar ..

Feeling the brunette stir, he turned to her. Akito noted however that her eyelids remained shut.

"Shi, if your a bird then I'll be a cloud. Floating freely in the sky always changing ...and yet always remaining close."

At that his eyes went wide as he turned to the book in his hands to see the words printed on the page. S, for Shi? So this is the book her fiancee wrote. Akito heard about it but he didn't think that he actually went through with it. Who would have thought eh? That person despite being a fool truly was a genius, despite not having any interest towards literature he is able to write beautifully like this. Then this story is about him and Setsura, heh how ironic. Who would have thought that their love story would touch his heart like this?

Akito felt very frustrated. It would be better for him, if his rival was a good for nothing. But, it turns out that even now he cannot compete against that man. Is it because he and Setsura belong to different worlds? Is that the gap between them? Akito didn't understand it very well. Does it actually make that much of a difference.

It really is frustrating, however he brushes his fingers on the corner tip of the girls eyes wiping the tear away. However, that does not mean he will allow her to go. Because she really is special to him.
