We Will Meet Again

*UNEDITED*

Main Streets Year 1896 Meiji - Two hours later -

He doesn't understand how it went to that to a shopping trip. She needed to buy some things that he understood. But why did he have to be the one to come with her.

'Katakura says I can't go out alone and Yang was called for work. So...' Using that sort of logic wouldn't work against him yet when she ended up saying, ' It's been awhile since we last went anywhere together.' he caves in. Still, they had such an intimate moment two hours back. Why did it end up this way?

"Oi, Setsura," Yang called out.

The girl looked at him as she casually sipped on her drink. Yang's eyes twitched in annoyance. When did she get that? She should have at least bought him some. Here he is carrying bags for her, he looked at her with an annoyed expression.

"We better not go into any more shops, my hands are full! It's a pain," he complained. Even if he is strong, this is a bit too much.

Setsura chuckled, "This is your role as my man."

While he liked the girl referring to him as her man. It didn't make things any better for him.

"Actually I was thinking we could go to a cafe."

"And then we can go home?" Yang said impatiently.

Although spending time with her is something he has been wanting to do for a long time. If it involves shopping like this then he would rather be at home. It's rare he has a day of after all, he would rather use it to catch up on all the sleep he has been lacking.

"Yes."

Yang agreed, the brunette lead him to a little cafe, it was busy but they managed to get a window table. He sets the bags on the ground near the window so that they would see easily if someone tried to snatch some or all of them. A waiter came and took their orders.

Setsura ordered a strawberry cream cake with vanilla milkshake. He didn't order anything, the waiter then took off.

"Yang are you really not having anything?" the girl looked at him, her eyes seemed to bore deeply into his soul.

"Don't feel like having anything right now," he replied. Or rather he just wanted to go home.

Yang noticed her strange reaction but didn't say anything. Mostly because he couldn't think of anything. The waiter then came back and placed Setsura's order in front of her on the table before going back.

"It looks yummy!" Setsura smiled as she ate a piece of her cake "It's delicious!"

"Is that so?"

Setsura nodded.

"Would you like to try some?" she offered.

Yang looked down at the cake, thinking on the offer. There's a reason why he's never been fond of sweets after all. But, still she does make everything look appetising.

"Please? Just eat a bit?"

Yang looked at her expression, if He can never go against those eyes of hers; and yet letting her get her easily like this doesn't sit well at all with him.

"Alright...but you have to feed me."

"Eh?!" Setsura's cheeks turned red. The girl completely lost her composure. His lips curved in to a slight smirk. It really has been a long time since he had last seen this scene, her getting nervous because of him.

"But-"

'No 'buts." Yang opened his mouth, and waited. He anticipated this moment for a very long time. Now that it was actually happening, Yang felt very overwhelmed with emotion.

Setsura hesitantly lifted up the fork towards his mouth and pushed it forward.

Yang then put the fork in his mouth and retreated back in a second, leaving the fork clean. He quickly swallowed the food and murmured vaguely, "Your right."

Setsura smiled, happy with his answer. She's really a fool. He watches the brunette eat the rest of the cake. Her cheeks flushed a rosy red colour, "Yummy."

"Doing this with me, are you happy?" Yang suddenly questioned. Right now she is smiling so very brightly. But, he can't get rid of the image from earlier away from his head. Yang doesn't understand why he is so bothered by it. Even if Setsura loves Akito, she doesn't dislike him. The one she is in a relationship with is him and not Akito.

"Eh?"

He averts his gaze," I mean, spending your free time like this," Yang noticed how confused Setsura became and quickly clarified. "Wouldn't you rather be with Akito?"

Yang could still clearly remember the expression the girl had when the ' shopping trip' plan ended up as a date with the black hair boy. The two rarely see each other before and now their both members of the special unit, their schedules will be even more packed than before.

Setsura laughs, "Although that's nice and all. We don't have to spend every single minute together you know? I said it to Victor too, that I felt like I've been neglecting you guys too much. That's why, I really do want to catch up. After all the reason why I went on this journey was to be with all of you. It doesn't seem right that I hardly see you around. Although I'm probably just being selfish when I say I want to stay together with everyone."

No. She is not being selfish, because even now. He's sure that's exactly what they are thinking. He lifts the menu in his hands, causing her to blink, "Yang?" Setsura said puzzled.

"Cake. The same one as you, I don't mind that taste."

The girl's brightened, " Yes."

...

"Aah that was fun. It's been a long time since I last went out to play so that really was refreshing," Setsura stretched her arms.

It was already late, the skies turned orange. Although be had complained about many of the things they did and said that it didn't suit his character. In the end he went through with all of them. On more than one occasion fans spotted them and asked for autographs; which the brunette ended up giving. She's really amazing. This person right now is attracting so much attention world and yet even now he can see reflected in his eyes. Her weak self, the one she does not show anyone.

When he saw her get ambushed by fans again he sighs, she really should have work a disguise. But he supposed even if she did, then she would still find some way to draw attention to herself.

She's really cheerful and yet it has always been easy to hide a unbearable sadness under a mass of happiness.

"Come with me, " he said, once the girl finished. He noticed how many people were sparing him glances though. Yang knew that their relationship was hot topic. While he can to a certain extent roam around the streets now. His status as a fugitive hasn't changed at all.

He didn't give her a chance to respond and leads her into an alleyway. If it's a place like this then nobody should be around. It should be alright to get close, even if it's just a little bit.

Yang backed her against the wall.

"Yang what is --?"

Her weak self, she's so fragile and easily breakable. Just a single touch and she would crumble. Even if she really is happy with him now. Even if she does want to remain with them. It doesn't change the fact that she is lonely. Lonely because that person is not here, lonely that she cannot return to Akito's side.

Setsura loves Akito even now - and he is the one standing in the way of their relationship.

His thoughts broke when he felt the warmth across his face again, "I see. So you have also been worried about me," Setsura immediately understood.

"So I'm not the first." he murmurs.

"It was Victor. But you already knew that."

Yeah of course he would. After all the two of them were originally the ones who noticed it and discussed it.

He won't do anything to her because she isn't his and yet, even if it's just for a little while. He brushes his lips against the nape of the girls neck. It was smooth, like it had always been.

It seems like Akito didn't do anything. While the main reason for his anger was the poison. It still surprised Yang that nothing happened between the two. He has clearly been really careful with her, Yang chuckles in amus.e.m.e.nt. Akito is a gentleman? Then, that makes him a beast doesn't it?

"Setsura, are you lonely?"he asked again.

Setsura shuts her eyes, "I am lonely."

He doesn't know whether it was because of those words or maybe because he had been holding back for a long time.

Yang licked her skin first before biting it, m.o.a.ning at the sweet taste. He sucked for a good minute before pulling back, he wiped the salvia from his mouth and looked at Setsura.

"Your thinking of him," Yang muttered. He pulled away so fast when he realized why her body burned up. It's because she is thinking of another man, she isn't thinking of him at all.

"Who?"

Yang knows his response will clearly have an impact. "Unlike before it's a lot clearer. Don't pull that face anymore, the one you are thinking about the most is definitely Akito." Indeed just now when he touched her he could clearly tell.

"I see I'm glad..."

"And yet? Why aren't you happy?" Yang muttered. What will it take for Setsura to smile again? To genuinely smile in front of him? How come she can smile and laugh so naturally in front of Akito? Akito is a stranger, she only met him a few months back. They don't even belong to the same time frame. Yet Setsura is so smitten with Akito.
