Chapter 243 - Fall apart

*UNEDITED*

It seems like he's done some dangerous things before. Setsura would ask him, but she recalled the files back at Akito's place. Everything is most likely contained there, all she has to do is read it.

As Setsura admired the crystals, Setsura didn't notice Yang's changed expression.

"Someone out there may be happy and are surrounded by lovely people. But inside there still hurt. Inside there still shattering," Yang suddenly spoke up. 

Her eyes widened when she heard his words. Ah.

He's... As always obviously he already knows. He's always been that way. "Your amazing you know," Setsura complimented.

"Eh?"

"Say if that person was also confused, and afraid that her choices would hurt others. What would you say," she asked.

"To fall apart.."

"What?" Setsura asked just to make sure. 

"To fall apart, "he repeated. "They should just fall apart, people like that. Then they have to be able to be strong enough to pick up there pieces of shattered glass. They have to be able to break and be able to get fixed again," Yang answered fully.

Fall apart huh. She gave him a small yet weak smile. "Then Yang, please let me fall apart," Setsira said and suddenly hugged him. Let her fall apart, let her show another person that she is human. She is alive and with emotions.

"Setsura."

Crystal tears fell from her eyes and she shouted out everything. Almost everything she was worried about, and he listened to her. He actually listened to her. He actually allowed her to cry. Someone who allowed her to cry, finally she could break apart. Just this once. Even for a single moment. She wanted to cry.

It was mortifying. What was she thinking crying in front of somebody she only just met five days ago? However, Yang didn't 

"Now… I think it's time for your reward." 

Reward?

Setsura raised her eyebrows at this comment. What reward? What is he on about? She didn't get a chance to comment, when he suddenly leaned forward and kissed her. Another unexpected kiss. But, this time he was not using any excuse like feeding her water. This time around was different. He was kissing her with so much passion, and she could feel how much he desired her. How much he wanted her, Setsura never thought a kiss could feel so stifling for her. What is this feeling?

Recently things haven't been working out well for her. At first she thought it was because Akito wasn't beside her, but then again her resolve had already begun to waver for awhile now.

She painted against Yang's lips as he ran his hands through her hair. Setsura never thought she would end up in a situation like this, a situation where another man could get so close. Why is it that anyone associated with Akito could get close to her? 

It feels so suffocating, and so wrong. But, this person.. Her thoughts broke off when she saw the look in Yang's eyes. Her eyes widened, and she felt her heartbeat speed up. Why does he look like that? What's with that maniac, that crazy look in his eyes? For the first time Setsura felt danger around Yang. No, this is wrong.

She struggled in his arms when he increased his grip around her. It took awhile, but she did break free. 

..

Setsura didn't mean to slap him. But, he simply went too far. She didn't know how she arrived back in the room, but when she opened her eyes she was back there. Yang was on the phone to somebody, "Yeah, I understand. Don't nag, she's alright."

Yang walked over and brushed his hands across her forehead. In contrast to how he almost assaulted her in the cave, his touch was gentle.

"I'm being as careful as I can, really. But, you know it's hard for me. Earlier it was a close call, but I scared her. So come get her as soon as possible."

What is he talking about?

"I'll drink the medicine, I should be okay then."

After a few minutes Yang puts the phone down and turned to her. He wore a troubled look on his face, "I really am sorry," he mumbled. "For scaring you..."

He did more than just scare her. What was with that maniac look in her eyes? It felt like she had seen such a scene before.

"I know your awake Setsura, I'm very sorry. Please look at me."

It pained her when she heard his tone. He seems so sad, and so frightened. But, Setsura couldn't forget what happened in the cave earlier. It scared her so much, even if she wants to forgive him. She knew she wouldn't be able to do so right away. 

...

It was difficult trying to get some sleep after what happened. Setsura was afraid that she would have terrible nightmares. However, she was able to sleep peacefully. Setsura realized why when she woke up. Yang's personal assistant, explains to her, "The boss has been taking care of you non stop. He hasn't slept a wink."

It turned out that she slept for two extra days after what happened. Setsura knew she was traumatized by the incident, but she didn't think she would sleep so long.

Akito still hasn't come for her either. What is taking that fool so long? Is the weather still that bad? Something like that shouldn't stop him from coming here.

"Where's Yang right now?"

"Boss is inspecting the new construction."

"Will he be gone long? Can you tell him I'm awake?" Setsura asked. It isn't like him to walk of and leave her. Or maybe what happened the two days back.

"Uh, you see..."

Why does he look so troubled for? Before Setsura could inquire, she sensed Yang's presence in the room. Sure enough he emerged from the door at the back. Yang strolled across the room, "You can leave."

"Yes sir."

Yang quickly turned to her, he placed her hand on her forehead. "The last few days, I kept giving you morphine because you were in a lot of pain. Does your arm hurt?"

Setsura glanced down and sure enough saw her arms covered in shots. How many times did he give it to her? No wonder her body feels sluggish.

"I'm fine, is Akito not .."

"Yeah, it seems like it will take some time before he can get you. The weather is clearing up these days, we can go for a walk outside when your better."

Sensing the vague description at the start. Setsura understood that something was wrong. However, with the current situation. Setsura knew she couldn't say anything. "I'm hungry."

Yang smiled, "You always have quite the appetite. What do you feel like having?"

"Then..."

The food Setsura requested were some high quality western dishes. At fist she thought it wasn't possible. But, it didn't take long before trays of food were brought into the room. For the first time, she's starting to understand the meaning of power. Then again Akito isn't the type to flaunt his wealth like this. Ah, forget the details. Food is food, and she's very hungry. 

"Yang?"

"About two days ago, I.."

Setsura sighed and shook her head. "You don't have to explain," she trailed off. When she thought about it carefully, it reminded her of something.
