We Will Meet Again - Chapter 388

Multiple gun shots from all sides was heard. Suddenly, Victor grabbed her and dove under the chair for cover. He covered her when the bullets came their way. Her eyes widened alarmed at this. “Victor!” Setsura exclaimed. “It’s alright, it didn’t hit me.” She examined his body quickly in a panicked frenzy, but he was unharmed, just as he said.  Setsura sighed in relief. Thank goodness. She wouldn’t know what to tell Akito  if anything happened to him. Although Victor is on Touma’s side. There is no doubt that Akito cares greatly for his childhood friend. ‘Also something is different.’ After all it’s not like him to apologise. For him to do so now must simply mean something’s changed. Akito was acting all jittery at the mention of his name the other day. “They’ve got so many people.. ” The fact that they managed to sneak in aside. How on earth did they sneak in so many people? Is there really a traitor in their midst? This building is her work place. Setsura came here because she wanted to fetch something. “We won’t get anywhere unless we kill them. . .” Victor trailed off. “I know you don’t want to, but this is the only one.” “Were facing criminals. I’m prepared to drop my thoughts. But how are we going to do this? There is far too many of them.” Setsura said. The warning about killing and stray remained in her mind. But, she glanced around. There are so many people here. If it happens, it happens. “This is a blind spot, so we’ll have to move slowly but quickly. Separate them, and pick them off in groups of two-three at max five. Don’t try to take on anymore in one go. If they do get surrounded by a group larger, try to find a place to hide and shoot from that range. ”  “Your trusting me to shoot?” Setsura said dumbfounded. Laughter escapes Victor’s lips. “I know  you’re capable. I’ve seen you at practice. But,” Victor extended his hand out. He brushed his fingers across the gash on her forehead. “Even capable people make mistakes. Besides, unlike me you’re better of.” What does he m– her eyes widened when she saw something. She took a closer look and saw a large patch of red on his jacket. “Victor —!” “Don’t worry about it. Just do everything I say okay?” Although she was still worried, Setsura knew she wouldn’t be able to convince him out of this. “Yes.” She carved his words into her memory, so she wouldn’t miss any of his orders. Her thoughts broke off when she heard multiple sets of footsteps approaching. Victor looked at her with an uneasy expression and she returned it with a bitter smile. ‘It can’t be helped.’ Setsura didn’t think her simple visit would end up like this.  “Please don’t look at me like that. I won’t sacrifice myself. Besides, I still have something to say to him.” Victor chuckled. “That’s true.” Lila nodded. “Alright then, let’s go.”  She followed Victor’s lead and drew her gun. “Northeast. 55 degrees. Three seconds. ”  Shoots. “Southwedt. 15 degrees. Two seconds. ”  Shoots. Victor gave a few simple commands which she quickly followed up. She also gave some instructions. With their team work, it didn’t take long before the large group of enemies numbers diminished.  Soon the large group vanished and only one person remained by Mito vanished. Victor pulled his trigger but in that moment a flash of white flashed past in the speed of light. Somebody deflected the bullet. There stood a man with a white cloak. White with a black crest. A familiar one.  ‘It can’t be, but she can’t make a mistake..’ Victor must have noticed too since he srood in front of her. “I can’t have you dying yet.” “Apologies, I did not mean to waste your men.” “No need to apologise. I was meant to dispose of them anyway.” he turned to her. “Greetings my Queen. It’s unfortunate that we have to part now, but we will meet again soon before long.” Her eyes widened when she heard that voice. Huh? She felt her body freeze when she heard it.  Sersura was about to extend her hand out but a dangerous wind suddenly blew. A random wind? But this area had no windows… ‘A special ability?’ She felt Victor wrap his arms around her, shielding her from the dangerous wind.  Victor extends his hand out, to the cut across her cheek.  “I can help you get rid of this one. But, you won’t be able to conceal the rest.” Setsura shook her head. “It’s fine. I don’t want to lie to Akito anymore.” …….. When they got out, the entire place was covered by police. For a moment Setsura is frightened that Touma found them. But she realized that the police that surrounded them were.. “The special division?” Could it be Akito? Just as she thought a man approached them. A man with dark red hair and midnight blue eyes. Ah, this person is — “Greetings, my name is Hagano Yuzuru. I’m a member of the special force.” “We spoke once.” Yuzuru nodded. “That we did.” He looked around and his gaze hardened when he saw Victor. “It seems like I shouldn’t have come here today. A member of the Long family is with you.” Setsura couldn’t miss the hostility in his tone when he said the Long family. A deep sigh crossed her lips when she saw Victor’s gaze cloud. “Hagano?” Why is she surrounded by men and their rivalry? It’s so stupid and so superficial. She felt her body weaken and she leaned on the railing. While the two glared at each other, nobody seemed to notice her current state. ‘If Akito were here, he would notice wouldn’t he?’ By now he would have rushed the medics to help her out. She supposes that is the difference between somebody who cares and someone who doesn’t.  Her gaze flickered towards Victor. How many more secrets does this person have? Does she even want to find out?
