Chapter 282 - Like a dream bubble

*UNEDITED*

Setsura debated about it for a few minutes, before she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Kiss me Yang."

He traced her lips with his thumbs, "Right now you belong to me and only me. I'll make you forget about Akito, Setsura. when I'm done with you, you won't even be able to say his name."

Setsura didn't say much to that. She simply ran her hands through his now exposed chest. When did he get his shirt of? She stopped paying attention at some point, and just let Yang do whatever he wanted. At some point she felt her legs curl up due to the intensity, and aggressiveness. She looked up at him, sweat coated their bodies.

"Yang," she called out.

Yang glanced up at her, "Yeah?"

"You're going too roughly," Setsura muttered. She didn't really know how to phrase this. For some strange reason, Yang seemed to be in a hurry. Yet, he also seemed to take his time. The way he cupped her b.r.e.a.s.ts, paused and kissed her thighs. He appeared to watch over every inch of her body. She flinched when he suddenly increased his pace inside her. "Yang--!"

"Rough is rough, and I like it that way. You'll get used to it."

Will she?

Setsura suddenly felt his hands on her cheeks, "Will it help you, if we kiss?"

"It may."

.....

Five hours later

"You know, I'm sure if you could move. You wouldn't even speak to me," Yang commented. Currently he was carrying her around on his back.

Setsura was genuinely frustrated with him. For their 'first time' to be something like that. She wasn't exactly happy about it. But then again, considering the mood and the situation. She was partly to blame. It felt so different then when she was with Akito. It even felt slightly wrong to her.

"You still can't walk properly."

Yes, she really couldn't. At first Setsura thought she was just over thinking things. But, she stumbled over every time she trued to take a step. What a frustrating situation this is. It really did feel different. She couldn't shake the feeling out of her head. Why was it so different?

"I'm curious about one thing, why can you walk and not me?" Setsura carried on the conversation. She didn't want him to suspect anything.

"Stamina."

Setsura rolled her eyes, "I have that. Remember, I was a police officer before."

"But, you haven't trained in awhile."

Damn, that's so frustrating. Setsura pinched his cheeks, "You need to learn from Akito. You don't know how to be romantic while doing it," it was only a joke. But, Setsura saw that brief darkness flash across his eyes. The comment regarding Akito clearly upset Yang.

Yang rolled his eyes, "Hey, I never said I was a romantic guy. If you want normal, go for an average man."

"Like an average guy would suit me. Well. Forget it. Am I disturbing your work using you as a chaperone?"

"Not at all, things are peaceful lately."

"They haven't caused you problems?"

"Not at all, maybe they like you too."

They both knew that wasn't the case. Setsura gently placed kisses down his neck, and Yang squeezed her hands. "Don't worry about it. My role in this era will end once Cynthia finds the original guys soul."

"But, if she can't?"

"Then, I'll be stuck here and eventually fall under the cycle. When that happens, I'll loose my memories of you."

"Yang.."

He placed her down on the desk, and pulled out the books from the side. "Here, this is what I found out regarding your case."

Setsura however continued to look at him with a worried expression. "Yang, do you really like me that much?" She vaguely heard an explanation why he came to this time frame. It was for her sake, for her to obtain her memories again.

Yang sighed, "Why are you asking me that now of all times?"

"Am I not allowed to ask."

"I just think, you should have realized by now."

Should she have? Setsura still had to get her head around the fact that Yang didn't leave town. After their dispute, Yang disappeared and stopped contacting her. Setsura was under the impression that he left town, because of their fight. Because he no longer wanted to do anything to do with her.

Yang ran his hands through his hair, "If you haven't realized by now. Then, I guess I will have to keep showing you. It's fine Setsura, you don't have to worry too much. Currently, your still in love with Akito. I will respect that decision. It's not like I haven't gone through this before, I will make you change your mind."

Why does he sound so sure of his words? Setsura didn't say anything, and picked up one of the books. She wanted to briefly distract herself, and change the topic. Yang didn't continue and pulled out a cigarette. He started to smoke and leaned against the window frame, while she continued reading. Occasionally, Setsura would steal glances at him.

One thing has bothered her this entire time. Touma and Yang, what sort of relationship do they have? After what happened that day, Setsura became curious. Yang teamed up with Touma to get her. So, why did they act that way when they met one another? Unless, that was their first time properly meeting? The reaction would make more sense then.

So, they were not aware of one another's identities? That's puzzling though. Surely, Touma knew who Yang was, otherwise his plan wouldn't work out. Setsura turned back to the book in her hands when something caught her attention.

...

-Town - Main Streets -

What she read in that book lead to her going to town. Naturally Yang came along, even though Setsura quote told him there was no need. Yang seemed to think if she went of by herself, she would go back to Akito. There is clearly no trust here. But, Setsura understood where he was coming from. The streets were busy and very crowded. If Yang didn't hold her hand, she knew she would end up getting separated from him. Still, it surprised her how casually he grabbed a hold of it. 'Almost like he is used to it.'

The progress to recovering her memory was a lot faster now because of Yang. Yang helped her fill in the bits and pieces she was missing this whole time. All the blurred memories became clearer and she recalled more. Setsura however had her doubts. Why can she remember something clearly when Yang tells her? It made little sense to her. It felt like there was a catch somewhere. But, Setsura knew she had to focus on current events.

Setsura knew she had grown complacent. It had been easy to forget the state of the world, cozied up in her home with Yang. Even though they both worked on the cases.

She didn't like reading the news unless it involved her companions, and she hadn't gone to town much. While Chauncey ensured for her that people won't chase after Yang anymore. It was still difficult for them to walk around the streets without drawing people's attention.

So she was rather sheltered about current events. She occasionally went outdoors, but the building had eventually become familiar to her. Staying with those strange people, until she barely noticed it anymore. It was almost as though they existed in their own little dream bubble. A reality far away from everybody else. She lived in seclusion with Akito too, but it was nothing like this.

Quite some time has passed since she came returned to town, and upon return, she was immediately greeted with thousands of work. Not the previous work like she would have liked; although there were plenty of those too, Setsura understood which one she had to focus on.
