Chapter 346 - The feeling of complete loss

*UNEDITED*

"Setsura."

"Mmmm.." Setsura opened her eyes and realised there current position. Not only was she on top of him but her head was on his chest.

Uwaa ! Were so close together, or rather she's never realised how long his eye lashes are. His nose accentuates, his beautiful face. He's almost like a doll. 

Setsura backed away, with her cheeks completely flushed realizing he caught her staring.  "I---I'm sorry!" This is really embarrassing, or rather how did it end up this way. She attempted to separate them only to have the net tangle around them even more.

"Ouch, ouch."

What on earth is she doing? Setsura questioned her actions since earlier. Is this because of the fever? She must be going crazy. She could spot a chuckle escaping the blue haired man's face, "Stay still, I'll try and untangle it."

This position really is embarrassing.

Thump. Thump.

Their so close to each other, there's no way anyone can remain calm in such a situation. After what felt like forever but it was only a few minutes, "Are you feeling alright?"

Setsura found herself being able to move, she looked up at him. "Eh?" She can move freely now. Was he untangling from her hair first?

"Good you should be able to move now. Now untangle my hair," Chauncey requested.

"Okay," Setsura immediately saw him avert his gaze.

Ah, his reaction. Could it be that he saw what happened the other day. Between her and Yang. She has to explain it to him, but exactly what can she say? and…why does she have to explain it to him anyway? It's not like they are going out with each other.

"Setsura."

"Y--yes?" Setsura's words came out as a stutter due to the initial shock of things.

"Looks like the final door is over here, let's go."

She's the only one who's getting all panicked and worried about it. That's even more embarrassing, to her surprise though she spotted his hand extended out causing her gaze to soften. Setsura grabbed hold of it, and laughed.

"Your not going to do this again are you?"

"Aha."

"This is only because your clumsy, it's easy if we do it this way," Chauncey explained.

In other words, ' We won't be separated.' Her gaze softened at Chauncey's scolding. He isn't a bad guy at all. It seems like she completely misunderstood him. Still, there is one mystery she doesn't understand.

...

Another movie offer, who would have thought.

But then again she should have suspected something upon seeing that huge mansion. Still, her gaze landed on the three engaged in conversation. She really does get that sort of feeling. As long as Chauncey and the others are in the the theatre, then everything will be okay even with the lost of him and the others.

When her fiancee wakes up from his coma, he will certainly be in for a surprise. These guys are really working hard, you'll be surprised what kind of amazing show they can pull of. Indeed this little group isn't on par with the other three groups she's composed for but Setsura finds liked them a lot regardless.

'Chauncey will take long, perhaps she ought to walk around.' Setsura quickly made her mind up and got up. Strange enough, it felt like she came to this building before. It's very difficult going around with broken memories, it's hard to make sense of everything.

Setsura found herself heading outside. It was quite cold still, but the snow had yet to settle. Strangely enough there has not been any snow

Year 2017

"Care to explain where you're taking me?" Setsura questioned.

His smile widened. "It's a place I found a few days ago. You'll love it!"

Setsura tilted her head in confusion. She doesn't like the idea of going to a place she isn't familiar with this late at night. Then again, he is trustworthy. The person who stayed

"I don't want to wait and see! Tell me where you're taking me!" After she said that, he abruptly stopped causing her to bump into his back.

"We've arrived."

Setsura looked up, only to see a large tree - though there was something different about it. If she compared it with other trees anyway.

This one stood out due to the large size and the leaves seemed to glow brightly like stars.

"It's beautiful," Setsura agreed, "However,…"she looked at him with a puzzled expression. "...Why did you bring me here to see a tree?"

He smirked. "I knew you were going to say that"

Setsura nodded. "It would take more than a tree to impress me." Although she has to admit, there is something impressive about this. Setsura didn't think he would take her out of work for something like this. Rather, she sighed. "That case is important, yet you dragged me all the way here. What are you thinking?"

"I was thinking it's time I do something to impress you, since all I seem to do is cause you problems."

Present Year 2019

Setsura placed her hand on her forehead and sighed. What use are these memories if she can't remember his name or his face? She wanted to return to the hospital to confirm it. However, Setsura felt scared.

That persons death came so suddenly.

Although the signs had been evident for awhile now, now that it has actually happened. The death of her fiancée's sibling.

Despair, the feeling of complete loss of absence of hope.

Setsura felt despair many times in his long life -short, compared to others who surrounded him, but 19 years was still a long time.

Watching his comrades be tormented to death by that monster before it happened to her. Setsura recalled it very well, that person who caused so much problems for her fiancée.

She still found it strange that she came back here despite the blood shed she encountered in the Meiji era. Then again, it's not like this place is peaceful either. Setsura wrapped her arms around her body and shivered. Perhaps she ought to have brought Chauncey's coat. He offered it to her before heading to the meeting earlier. However, Setsura knew how cold those meeting rooms were so she refused.

Ah, she wonders if it was the same with him. When they first formed their partnership, he tried everything that he could do to get closer to her. Setsura recalled how she pushed him away. She wonders if he's also experienced this feeling. A feeling of wanting to get closer to the person who has become important to you and yet not being able to do so. That's right he's important to her.

He's become so important, like she told Chauncey Long. Akito is still in her heart. If Yang heard these thoughts, he would certainly get mad anymore. But, it would be wrong of her to deny those thoughts when she is alone too. It's not like anybody can hear what she is thinking.

Setsura took a deep breath and glanced up at the sky. 'How much longer does she have to stay here?' She wanted to go back and check on Akito.

Akito and her fiancée.

'Are they the same people?' It was a theory she played around with for awhile. But now she is in the future again. Setsura wanted to think it through again.

No matter how much time passed years she still couldn't figure her fiancee person out. There are still things about this person that she cannot figure out. Through the passing by of time, she wonders if it's possible to even learn more about him. No matter how close she gets to him, there always seems to be a wall that prevents her from truly getting close.

A wall huh? There was a wall between Akito and her too.
