We Will Meet Again

*UNEDITED*

When Chauncey Long is concerned, Yang turns into a sinister person. Similarly when it involved Yang, Chauncey shows the same hostile feelings. A dark and sinister expression would appear on his face. However the difference? Chauncey does not throw a tantrum like a child would. Still, maybe she would prefer it that way. What's with his sudden awkward silence and awkward nodding?

He's acted this way since they passed by the buildings with Yang's poster. The news of Yang's return has the attention of everyone in town. Setsura didn't realize he was this popular before. Or rather, so that's what he was up to. She thought Yang was sneaking around and cheating on her. But it turns out he decided to return to his job. Still, Setsura wondered if it was okay for him to do that. They have to return soon, they can't stay here for long.

Her gaze fell on Chauncey whose gaze hardened when he looked at the poster. 'Does it bother him that much?' Setsura sighed quietly to herself, she doesn't understand this person very well. While they do get a long better these days, things are still awkward. She cannot expect anything from him. He only came here because of what Akito said. Right if Akito did not tell him to come here, would Chauncey even come here?

'The future may interest him,' Chauncey said that was one of the reasons he came here. But, would that interest be enough for him to come here?

"That man," Chauncey spoke up, and bitterly said. "..has such a career?"

"Well yes, he is popular in the entertainment industry," Setsura replied.

"I see."

He replied immediately, and yet from the look on his face he isn't happy. It seems like Chauncey understands how important the entertainment industry is here. She is slightly surprised, 'He knows a lot more than she thought.' Is he secretly studying when he isn't working?

Her gaze softened at the thought. It seems like it was a good thing for him to come here. At first it worried her greatly. Chauncey Long is a member of the mafia, he is used to a life of bloodshed. The future isn't peaceful, and many crimes occur here daily. However, Chauncey Long is a normal citizen here, he does not have to involve himself in such things.

Still, the only reason why Chauncey hasn't involved himself in such natters is... 'She doesn't give him a chance.' It was a coincidence that Taiga's theater group needed help, a coincidence that they needed help for an actual movie than a play. But, all of it worked out for the best.

It's difficult for her to investigate though. Since she has to accompany Chauncey to places. Yet, it's better than him causing problems. The moment Chauncey gets involved with the cases here, something may happen in the past. 'How many things have changed already because he is involved in the movie?' Setsura hesitated at first, and contacted Katakura. For some reason he didn't answer her, so she rang Oslo.

Oslo informed her that it was okay as long as she kept an eye out. He replied to that easily. When Setsura questioned when he would get here however, he didn't reply. Maybe she ought to discuss it with Yang? It's worrying her.

Setsura's thoughts broke off when she spotted a crowd gathering a car. 'That looks familiar..

' Just as she thought that, a certain red head man stepped out of the car with two other people. A girl with long ginger hair, the one she saw with him previously and Yang's manager. The crowd immediately surrounded them, and many people waved their signs enthusiastically in the air.

"Yang," she mumbled. He looks very busy.. She did want to see him for a not. But, they already saw each other earlier. Besides, Yang and her shared the same thoughts about maintaining a distance for awhile. Setsura turned on her heal to leave, however somebody stopped her.

"Chauncey?" Setsura mumbled confused. Chauncey didn't say a word, and grabbed a hold of her wrist. He suddenly dragged her over to the back of the large studio building. She glanced over at him confused and inquired what he was doing. But, Chauncey did not say anything.

A few minutes later though, she spotted somebody familiar approaching them from the corner. "Yang."

So, Chauncey brought her out back because of Yang? Yang must have signaled him. Strange enough, these two have good harmony with one another.

"Hey, I thought I saw you," he said with a grin on his face.

Setsura didn't know what it was but she felt like punching him. Why does he look so arrogant whenever he smiles? Ah, Yang keeps driving her crazy. Setsura wondered if this oblivious guy knew what kind of impact he has on her. Since it's him, he most-likely has no idea about it.

There seemed to be something different about him. It's the same Yang, but at the same time... Is it because of the clothes? Now he is wearing modern day clothing - no, that can't be it. The atmosphere around him is very dif- she paused in mid thought when Yang closed the distance between them.

"I missed you," Yang muttered. He was so close that she could feel his breath. The scent of alcohol again. Why is this guy always drinking?

Maybe because she was staring, Yang thought it was okay to do something. Before he could kiss her however, she immediately punched his stomach.

Yang backed away and winced in pain. "Damn woman, did you have to punch me?"

"Hmph."

"Today, I have a shooting with some female models," Yang said as he rubbed his store stomach.

For a moment she felt bad that she punched him so hard. But when she hears his words, she immediately froze. Her expression darkened.

"And?" Setsura said angrily. "What do you mean by saying such a thing?"

"Hey, I'm only informing you so you don't freak out later."

"You don't have to---" Setsura paused mid-sentence when she realized what he just said to her. "Who will freak out?"

"You but.."

Setsura's glare intensified. If looks could kill, she would have killed him with her gaze by now.

Her thoughts broke off when Yang pulled her into his arms. Warmth seeps through her body, and Setsura's hits him lightly. It's unfair, why does she feel so comfortable? To think this man can evoke such emotions in her.

"Comfortable?" Yang asked.

"I'm not, you're still a jerk."

But they both knew she was no longer angry.

"You know, despite what I said earlier. I can't risk not speaking to you when I see you. Besides, I have a gift for you," Yang placed something on her wrist. A gorgeous beaded glass bracelet.

It's beautiful, since she was younger Setsura liked glass items like this. It seems like Yang remembers that about her.

Setsura tried to pretend that she didn't like it as much, "What a simple gift this is. Do you think I'm this easy to bribe?"

"No," Yang replied, "I do have another gift for you."

"Dinner?" she guessed.

"Yeah, there's that restaurant I never brought you to before. I heard they renovated it."

He even did his research. Maybe he isn't a bad guy after all. This would be their first proper outing as a couple too.
