We Will Meet Again

*UNEDITED*

Tokyo 2019 - Following morning, 8:00am -

With Akito's appearance, Yang felt very afraid. He already knew what would happen. But even then he chose to ignore it. It will be fine, nothing will change. No matter how much he tried to convince himself. Yang already knew that things were changing rapidly. He can no longer ignore what is happening with Setsura.

It took several hours more before the police did anything about it. Yang suspected that there was some internal conflict going on in the force. However, he already has other things to worry about.

It didn't take long for Yang to realize that he shouldn't watch Setsura sing while he was trying to play. One or two nasty stumbles on his guitar earned him enough dirty looks from the rest of his group that he burned the lesson into his mind. He was already the weakest member in terms of technique and experience. It didn't help how he only joined the entertainment industry for a very shallow reason.

Because Setsura was definitely distracting at the best of times, and when she sang she was downright enchanting. She reminded him of a Goddess.

During practice sessions in the well-lit studio, there was something almost ethereal about her. So when she performs on stage, Yang can't keep his eyes of her.

When he returned home to see a note scribbled on his desk, his lips unknowingly curve to a smile. The note started off her with her usual arrogant tone.

' I haven't forgiven you for touching me yet.

But, if you write something nice to go along with this song that's a product of everyone then perhaps we can talk again.

My emails changed by the way.

You'll get it as a reward, if I think it's nice.

Setsura. '

'Exactly that. We may grow up, change appearance wise. Our hairstyles, body build everything changes. Were taller, become more wise due to the knowledge we've increasingly learn in schools. Yet that knowledge is something that can be used as a double edged sword. Those who want to use it for good, it usually ends up having the opposite effect. For those who want to use it for bad end up using it for good. In that sense ' Knowledge' can help change people for the better or worst. But even if they do change, there will always be some traits that remain the same. '

The traits that remain the same for that girl would be her bright and beautiful smile. Even in the harshest of moments, that smile saves everyone. Just thinking of her is enough to save someone from despair. Please continue to show everyone the darkness in the light, the light in the darkness. Show everyone how despite the complicated feelings in love how beautiful it is.

Yang walked over to the couch, and picked up a bottle of alcohol he left on the table. His coping methods are equally bad. Whenever something goes wrong, he ends up drowning himself in alcohol like a fool would. But what else can he do? He loves Setsura so much, but the reality is? Setsura's feelings for him are very fickle and fragile.

But he already knew what he was getting himself into. From the very start, he understood it better than anyone. He has no right to complain. Yang picked up the remote and switched the TV on. Sure enough the news report was about the case from the other day.

"The defense force held a large scale drill recently, aimed at protecting the most remote islands. The ministry of defence made a statement recently at the conference. This included new tanks equipped with a system to facilitate intelligence sharing, as well as command and control measures.. ."

Eating alone. Quite some time has passed since that's happened, recently it feels like too many people surround him daily. Indeed since he got back he hasn't been alone for a single second, nor has he actually had enough rest. That may be why he hasn't had any time to drown in his own thoughts. The short period he avoided Setsura already seemed like a completely distant memory to him.

He glanced down at his phone, and flickered through the messages labelled 'girlfriend.'

From: Girlfriend

Subject: Tomorrow

_____________________________

Looking forward to out date tomorrow.

If you stand me up again.

I'll never forgive you.

What is he doing staring at this message now after all these years? Is it because of the dream of middle school he recently had or that warning, 'Akito is also one of the key characters to all of this you know? I'd be more wary and cautious if I were you.'

The person who said that warning to him was surprisingly that guy, huh? Indeed, Yang figured as much. Because even though Victor was his it well. Yang about his slight delinquent like actions then. Even now he could remember the priceless looking expression his companion had on his face when he caught him in a bar. ' My uncle owns one that's why I want to hurry up and study more about it. So I'll be perfectly qualified to take over.' Who would have thought that the bar he was talking about then was the base.

Say Setsura, he wonders exactly how much weight a single promise can carry? At that time the two of us hid their involvement with each other because of Shinji. Because it wouldn't be right since the three of them finally started getting along with each other. However, even after it was over, she didn't tell anyone about it. Tell anyone that the two of them had been dating.

He wonders no, exactly to what extent she had feelings for him then. They were only kids, middle school to be exact. The grown-ups around them would always talk about having several encounters first. How even if you fall in love now there will be plenty more opportunities for encounters so you cannot easily decide it.

However, for him, no for the three of them was it not already decided then and there? Middle school, ' She was dating me up until high school first year. ' Yang clenched his fists; so she had a boyfriend. He already knew that and yet when they started getting closer to each other he didn't push her away.

'I was seriously in love with you.'

It was after a few minutes when Yang felt another presence in the room. He said nothing but raised his hand. Soon he hears dainty footsteps approaching the couch. Yang extended his hand out and brought her into his arms.

Setsura, however, didn't return his affectionate gesture, the girl seemed frozen. Yang sighed and pulled back.

"Do you remember Yang? That time.."

'Such vague words,' but Yang understood what she was referring too.

"Not only did you strongly reject me before I could say those words, you also rejected my help completely. You wouldn't let me get involved. The latter I know wasn't out of spite, your words are confusing but your actions have always made sense."

"My actions, huh? Then, when I kissed and slept with you a few months afterwards. Did you understand what I was doing?" Setsura questioned.

Yang paused to catch a glimpse of her expression. However, like usual he couldn't tell what she was thinking. "I understood. It was frustrating and annoying. Even though we were close enough then for me to be one of your partners, our actual relationship didn't change. You tried to give me a chance, I failed. That's it."

"You don't think of me as a fickle woman? "
