Chapter 302 - Reincarnation investigation

*UNEDITED*

Her thoughts in the next few minutes still lingered on Akito. But after finishing gathering all her information, the air around her became serious. If you take everything into consideration that happened until now; this sort of line up makes the most sense. For a long time Setsura wondered how she could transition into this time.

Kaname Setsura.

Hikari------> Leah -- Aoi -----> Yua ----> Setsura

( 500y) (400) (300). (100) ( Present)

Fujisaki Hikari ----> Wind

Fujisaki Leah ----> Lightning

Kouno Aoi. ----> Ice

Kouno Yua ----> Earth

Kaname Setsura ----> Fire

However the records of Fujisaki 'Fuuka' are quite small. Most of the pages with her history are cut and there's still the whole everyone forgetting Princess Yua. Everyone except Chen Yi and Akito. If Chen Yi knows then Akito surely does. But she can't exactly talk to Akito; they broke up rather abruptly. No it wasn't abrupt. From the very beginning she felt like there was something off about the two of them dating; and yet at the time her heart couldn't take being alone. How laughable, it was the same back then too. All she could do was run away, in the end she couldn't protect the people she loves the most.

Reincarnation itself is an interesting concept.

It would never have crossed her mind before. But, it didn't make sense to her. Coming here so easily. The power of the guardians, their whole organization - these missions. Setsura didn't understand it very well. What do they gain from all of this? Sure they are helping so many people achieve their dreams. They are granting

She doesn't care at this rate who she was, as long as she will be able to have the power to protect those who are important to her. If she can do that then perhaps she can keep the promise she made that person.

The person she loved, out of all the pieces of her memory that she got back after that person unsealed Pandora's box; the only details she could not remember was, who she actually was and the person she fell in love with. In all 5 lifetimes, she fell in love with the same person. Although she cannot remember who, the warmth of that hand is something she cannot forget; and that's exactly why, the most likely candidate is that person.

The warmth of Akito's hand is the same person as the one from her memories, at least that's what she's sensing. Ah, she wonders what she would do if it belonged to someone else? Would she grow to love that person? Probably not.

In the first place love for her was already a foreign subject. She didn't understand what it was; her and Akito may have dated then. But it was only because she felt like she really got along with him. They got along with each other well and she was comfortable being beside him. It seemed somewhat unusual thinking that, there was something of about it. After that incidence where he stopped talking to her.

Setsura couldn't help but think that she lost a very important friend. When she fell in love with that person, she understood the reason why, she only considered Akito as a friend despite the fact that they were dating.

Ah, the reason why she felt something strange was solely because she did not get such feelings. Heart beating, wanting to be with them always, jealousy, happiness, those ugly and yet beautiful feelings. Even though there was as certain degree of those feelings when she was with Akito; in the end she understands fully well that it was only...minor.

The person she's in love with is probably still her fiancee. However if that really is the case that's even more so the reason why she has to find out the missing piece in her memory. So that she can confirm it with the others, find that person and end things. Because she's certain that person has also been looking for her. Although her memories are blurry, she hears the conversations so very clearly.

'I love you. '

'Remember this, no matter how far away we are from each other. I will always love you. Even in our next lives I shall find you. '

'No. No. Don't do this idiot.'

'Survive. Please survive for me.'

More than trying to confirm her identity though, her top priority is understanding that person; if she understands that man, perhaps she will truly be able to help Akito. Still, did she really have to date Yang to understand him? He is the same Yang that she got to know. But, at the same time - Setsura tapped her pen against the desk. Something is different now, she can't quite put her mind to it right now. However, something is surely different.

These days Yang goes out often.

"I see you are being difficult again my dear." Yang laughed, "You are the only one who seems to still hold suspicions of me. The others know that I have mended my ways."

Setsura hated how he casually admitted to the bad things he did here. She only speculated it before, and casually brought it up. However, Setsura didn't think that he would speak about the matter casually. To think he got a woman pregnant and didn't take responsibility.

"But, why do you have to accompany her to the meeting?" Setsura questioned.

"It can't be helped. Both parents are needed and she's already explained the situation over there."

At that comment she increased her hold on him, 'parents' huh? Parents. . she doesn't want him to go. It's not like they are married. Marriage. .

"Yang, when will you be back?"

She wants to talk to him about it properly. But won't he get the wrong idea? No rather than the wrong idea, won't he leave her? It was a thought that she had been avoiding but now that he's right here beside her, he cannot help but think about it.

"Hm? Missing me before I even leave huh."

"That's.. . "

"You are not looking well," Yang said, stroking her hair. "What could be the problem?" he gazed affectionately at her. "If I can guess your more worried about her than that person. It's true that she touched me. However I pushed her away and haven't spoken to her since. You don't need to be jealous Setsura."

"Then, kiss me."

"What a cute jealousy this is. But, if your not well maybe we ou-- " She initiated the kiss rather suddenly and he responds immediately.She was on the bed again before she could so much take a deep breath. "I don't know what the problem is. But I'll hardly refuse you if you come on to me so strongly. My Setsura."

"Then do so, you idiot."

...

Present

Setsura glanced over at the small rear view mirror, and placed her hand on the marks. They didn't get a chance to talk properly there. Whether it's Akito or Yang, she still can't confide in both of them properly. Those two have done so much for her since she came here, even Yang. Yang didn't even know who she was at the start, and yet he helped her out.
