Chapter 320 - Not them

*UNEDITED*

Setsura understood that Yang was going through a difficult time.

She understood it really.

He's made sacrifices for her. Staying by her side is the same as sacrificing something. Because he stayed by her, he has to reveal his identity. According to what Katakura told her and what she learned while staying with him..Yang hid for so long, and nobody could catch him once.

For the next few days, it feels like they didn't really talk. But they didn't avoid one another, her gaze fell on the man fast asleep beneath her. Ah, he slept too. Setsura woke up to find that she remained on top, and Yang's arms wrapped firmly around her. He's so hopeless.

'Her body aches...' Setsura knew it was futile to try to move, so she simply remained in his arms. She moved forward slightly and kissed his lips. Yang, when did they become this way? Maybe it would be better if they didn't date. They got along very well as friends. Only Akito differed, they could never be friends.

Yang stired awake and in the next minute she found his tongue inside her mouth.

"Good morning," Yang mumbled.

"Yes..."

"You're still in pain?" he asked and Setsura nodded. He wrapped the duvet around her bare frame, "You'll catch a cold, although this is very s.e.xy."

"I'm angry at you and you know that."

For a moment she saw a flash of sadness in his eyes. It was only for a moment though, he ran his hands through her back and she flinched slightly. "Yang, what are you doing?"

"We can do it again."

Setsura glared at him, "I'll be late."

"Don't be so bitchy, you're my woman. Why can't I do what I want?"

These days, Yang says very unreasonable things. However, Setsura suspected that he actually didn't mean these words. Does Yang want her to hate him? She doesn't to do that. Setsura bent down and mumbled. "I'm all yours, Yang."

Yang switched their positions until he was on top of her, "Setsura, I won't let you return to them."

"Return to who?"

Who is he talking about?

....

Moonlight Academy

For her transferring to Moonlight academy had been relatively easy. But transferring mid way and scoring a high mark like that drew peoples attention on her right away. Setsura would have liked not to stand out, but such fate wasn't possible. That was fine at the start, she didn't transfer to make friends but to gather allies. However one by one she met all of them; and found herself being unable to leave them alone. Bit by bit, she made fond memories with everyone.

Setsura extended her hand out to help them first, but the end result? In the end, those people helped her.

Two people leaned against the other sides of the tree, on top of the huge hill. There is silence for a moment, before she spoke. "Hey Senpai..I want to hear your music."

"What right now?" the man beside her questioned. This person is her senior, Hiragi.

"Yeah."

"Your always going to get your way aren't you? " Hiragi said to her knowingly. She didn't have to respond to that and soon she hears the sweet melody of his saxophone. Such a soothing melody.

Back then she ran and ran. When she stopped, his music was always there. During her younger days she loved listening to her senpai's music. It was the only thing that could make her escape. She could escape, even just for an instant.

Her life back then was too painful to imagine. She hid it with a smile and later on at night, she would release those tears. Not even her friends knew, they weren't aware of the pain she felt inside. She didn't want to let them know either.

Setsura always felt she was hindrance and a burden to everyone. Useless and she couldn't do anything right. For causing them so much pain.

It's only been a few months. But in the spam of these few months. She has met so many wonderful people, she discovered so many talents within herself. Even though Setsura felt like something missing. For now,  for now she would treasure what was around her. No that's not right, she would treasure them always. The people who gave her words of advice and always made her smile. People who shared her pain.

Even though she still hadn't found it. That something she was searching for. That something she felt was missing in her life. Setsura knew things would be okay. After all, so many people care. While it was difficult and hard for her to accept another person's love.

After a few minutes, finally ended the tune. "How was it? "he asked.  Heh. "Like it has always been."

"Then I'm guessing it's perfect," he said in a teasing tone. "Hmm I wouldn't say that."

"What??  When did I make the mistake?"

She appears in front of him and chuckles. "I'm joking."

"I'm glad to see your smile again."

His words caught her off guard slightly but Setsura nodded. While she seldom smiled, it was even rarer in the Meiji era. The smiles she showed Akito were rare.

"Aw. What's this? your turning into a huge softie," Setsura trailed off and sighed when she saw Taiga peering from the corner. He didn't say a word since they came here.

"Did Yang tell you anything?"

Taiga shook his head but he turned bright red, "But uhh, you two better close the door..."

At that comment her cheeks grew hotter, but she replied calmly, "You're apartment simply has thin walls."

He scratched his head awkwardly, "Well, before I got a girlfriend I planned to move out to a better place. It isn't exactly a place for couples."

Indeed, not only is the area bad but the apartment is run down. Certainly not a couple environment. Still, "Go somewhere else," Setsura mumbled. "I mean, it's getting too crowded."

She didn't want to kick him out. However, not only was it too small. But Chauncey and Yang fight everyday, it's very stifling.

"Speaking of which, I must meet the other guy," Hiragi said mockingly.

Setsura glared at him, "You don't have to meet him."

"What if he's waiting for you over there?"

At that comment Setsura immediately got up. She wiped the traces of grass from her skirt. "Don't you dare follow me," Setsura warned. She didn't wait for a reply, and dashed down the hill.

Setsura knew what the two would discuss the moment she left.

It didn't take her long before she arrived at the gate of the park. Setsura had to pause for a moment. She had to pause and look. Chauncey already looked good in the western clothes of the Meiji era. But now he is dressed in clothes from the future. Setsura must admit he looked more handsome than before. It's the same style clothing, but something feels different.

Chauncey turned his head, "Ah, you're here."

"What are you doing? Quit following me," Setsura exclaimed. Chauncey looked at her confused and she quickly added. "I'm just meeting old friends, that's all."

She wouldn't know how to explain things to her other friends if they saw Chauncey Long. Setsura already has to explain about Yang, and that's complicated enough. What will they think? Will they call her a bitch? Setsura didn't want that. Those people, they are the only ones she won't be able to accept hating her. The rest of the world can hate her, but not those people.
