We Will Meet Again

"Natasha-san, mm. I bought some groceries, are you hungry?"

"Akito made me some soup earlier. But I guess I could trouble you for dinner."

Akito made her soup? Then again he does know how to cook. But ever since this situation started

"I appreciate that, your letting us stay," Natasha said.

Victor shook his head. "It wouldn't be right for me to leave you out on the streets. I checked on your house for you. But I could not find anybody. It seems like they evacuated to another place."

"I see." Natashas expression dropped. "I could guess where they went but it would be too much for me to go."

"Your Chauncey's fiance, do you have the badge of the Long organization? That should get you out safely."

"I do but.." Natasha sighed. "Well even if I am his fiance, Im on Akito's side. It would feel strange to use it. Besides…" She looked over at Akito. "I don't think we should leave him be."

"Your right about that. I was thinking we could try to get in contact with the special investigation unit."

"The special investigation unit?"

Victor nodded. "I am sure they are looking for Akito too. Despite what those guys say about him, he is their leader."

But unfortunately, he isn't familiar with the special investigation unit. Would Natasha know?

"I agree there. I guess the best person to look for first is his vice command. Have you seen another man with red hair around, dark eyes. Ponytail?"

Victor blinked when he heard that description. 

Huh? Is it just his imagination but it feels like he has seen somebody-- Victor recalled the person who bumped into him in the market earlier. Ah, that guy.

"Is he close with Akito?" Victor asked. Otherwise why would she ask him to search for that guy first?

"I suppose so but he has a bit of a difficult personality.." Natasha trailed off. "I think Setsura has spoken to him more than I have."

At that comment, Victor sighed. Of course, Setsura has done that. That woman tends to get involved with everybody. Still, "Do you think it's worth getting in contact with him?"

"I find it strange that he hasn't contacted Akito yet…"

Right before Victor could say anything, he spotted Akito get up from the couch. Victor noticed how frantic he was. 

"What's wrong Akito?"

"Setsura."

Huh? Setsura-chan? What about her… Natasha's eyes widened and she suddenly headed to the door. The girl opened it before Akito could.

Victor looked at the door and saw a woman wearing a cloak. The cloak covered her clothes and half her face. But when she pulled the hood down, her gorgeous hair fell pass her shoulders. He blinked.. 'Setsura-chan?'

.....

Victor placed a cup of tea in front of Setsura. "Thank you, it's cold here huh? The change of weather is a bit surprising."

"...Why did you…"

Why did she come back?

Her gaze fell towards Akito. "I came back because I was worried about Akito."

Worried about Akito? Now of all times? So much time has passed since the incident started.. Why is she suddenly.. Victor froze when he saw the girl glance over at him. It was a brief look but Victor understood. A deep sigh crossed his lips. It seems like Chauncey finally said something. Victor understood that this would eventually happen but a part of him did not want he to know. 

Victor saw first hand how Setsura treated Chauncey when she learned of their conflict.

To his surprise Akito suddenly ot up and grabbed his coat. "Natasha come with me, lets find that guy."

"Huh? Wait.."

"Hurry up, bring your emblem too."

With those words said he watched as Akito quickly left the shop with Natasha. Victor sighed once the two left. His gaze dimmed. "Did you come here to criticize me?"

Since she already saw through the nice guy act, Victor no longer saw the need to pretend.

"No. I came here to harm you."

In the next second Setsura was no longer on the couch. She was right in front of him with a blade at his throat. Victor's eyes widened for a moment. But the shock didn't last long since he had his gun at her back.

"As expected."

"Setsura-chan, you know?"

"Mmm." Setsura suddenly moved her blade away and sighed. "Well, I wanted to test my theory a bit."

Victor sighed. "Don't do that again, it's dangerous."

"I was going to provoke you and say something bad about your family. But I feel like that would be far too petty of me."

This girl knows no bounds. If she actually said something like that, then he would have done something drastic. "Chauncey spilled?"

"Well even if he didn't I suspected something before." Setsura turned to him. "So the rumors about the most brutal person in the Long group were about you and not Chauncey. I guess because you have an innocent face, nobody thought to suspect you." She sighed. "How superficial.."

Victor sweat fell when he heard the girl's tone. His gaze fell on the short blade in her hands. "A butterfly knife?"

"So you even know about these…"

This is a unique knife that comprises two handles that can rotate in such a way which enables them to hide the blade of the knife.

It makes it the perfect concealed carry knife. Victor sighed. "You're scarier than I thought. Initially, once I got close and you let your guard down, I would intimidate you."

Setsura laughed. "Do you think that would work on me?"

"Well no, you survived so long by Yang's side and his group. So isn't it clear that intimidation won't work on you?"

"I see but you could have tried it."

"Did you really come here for Akito?" Victor questioned.

Judging from her behavior just now, it felt like she came here for him and not Akito. If she came here for Akito she would have left with him instead of stay here. So the only possibly conclusion is she came here for him.
