She's been kissed before.

She and Shinji haven't done 'that' yet, so all they've really done since they went out is kissing. Okay, so it isn't just kissing, they've seen each other naked before and have taken baths and showers together. But their relationship has always been the pure kind, even kissing gets them both embarrassed. But unlike those sweet kisses she shared with Shinji, this one made her body feel dirty. It felt like bugs were crawling on her skin, and Setsura kept trembling all over. The more fear she showed, the more Shun seemed to deepen his kiss. He easily pried her mouth open and put his tongue inside, even if she struggled, it didn't take long before he was exploring her whole mouth.

Setsura felt his hands on her clothing, tugging away the thin material of her blouse and shredding it slightly. She shuddered when she felt his hands on her skin. Setsura didn't want to open her eyes; she was afraid to see that maniac look in his eyes.

'Disgusting, disgusting,' this is disgusting. It suddenly dawned on her that reporters may be nearby. Otherwise why else would Shun pull this kind of stunt on her? 'Be careful, of Shun. These days he's becoming bolder, he will do anything to get you. Even if he drags you down with him,' her eyes widened when she recalled that warning. If the press sees this, then she will look like a complete slut.

Realizing that, she summoned whatever strength she could and shoved him away, in the process, she harshly bit his lip — a trail of blood formed on the bottom.

"Oh? You figured it out, did you?"

"Scum," Setsura snarled.

"Now dear sister, it will be all over the papers tomorrow, anyway. Miss Setsura kissing her half brother when her fiance is in hospital," Shun's lips curve to a smile.

"Screw you."

"Setsura, don't be stubborn anymore. If you come home and drop this foolish idea of a trip, I won't release the pictures."

Setsura really wanted to laugh, is this man insane? Would he really go this far just to keep her shackled up? What love? Don't give her that nonsense. How can a man like this who harms her claim to love her? It's so stupid. She turned to walk away and didn't even say a single word as she dragged her luggage along with her.

..

She is very grateful that the bathrooms were empty. Setsura didn't need anybody recognizing her or questioning her current state. On the way here she was already getting stares; after all, it looked like she got molested or something. With messy hair and messed up clothes, Setsura reached out for her handbag and proceeded to fix her appearance up.

Her body was still trembling in fear due to the events that took place. Setsura knew about Shun's so-called feelings for her for a long time now. But she never thought he would be so sick and twisted. As Setsura reached out for her lipstick and hairbrush, she felt the ground shake. Her eyes widened.

"Emergency, there is a level earthquake. I repeat," the woman's voice from the announcement is cut off when the ground trembled more.

Setsura has lived in Tokyo her whole life now, so she is not unaccustomed to it.

However, there was something different about this one. It felt like something was gradually pulling her to the ground. The earth is shaking, so naturally, the floor beneath her feet can't be stable. But Setsura didn't think it would be like this. This is bad, Setsura managed to open up the pocket of her luggage and took out the small pouch with the shard and other things inside, as she hugged it to her body. No matter what, keep this safe. It isn't just the shard in here.

"Setsura?!!"

Somebody shouts her name, but she doesn't get a chance to see who it is. She doesn't get a chance to see clearly, but she sees a white butterfly lingering in the air. 'Ah, it must be that person, get away quickly, do not follow her,'

XXX - Cave

In another dimension, a cave decorated in gorgeous colored crystals - that looked like ice dangled across the walls, and even the furniture like the chairs made by the crystals. Two people sat beside a beautiful lake, that was changing color every second. Different pastel shades, in the lake, there was an image of a girl with light hair and fair skin.

"Big brother, what are you doing?" somebody said from behind him.

A man with long hair smiled, "It seems like we managed to find her, we can grant that mans wish at last."

"Oh?" his sister peers into the large white sphere, "She's pretty! She looks like a doll!" she exclaimed happily.

"Now Cynthia, that's rude."

"It's the truth. Big brother, you say, wish. But he's completely forgotten about it. Why go so far?" Sara questioned.

"That's something I shall answer another time," he turned and smiled once he heard approaching footsteps, "Welcome back, Master. How was your trip?"

"Did you cause this?!!" The man in front of him is his Master, the 'Lord,' of this realm. Lord Oslo looked furious. Naturally, he would, Katakura did just cause the earthquake.

Laughter passed his lips, "Come on now; it's better than the initial plan," Katakura said. The initial plan was the girl getting run over, "You know an accident has to happen before we can do the transition. She was going to get hurt either way."

His Master sighed and rubbed the temple of his forehead, "I didn't get a chance to tell her some things. But I can't leave the realm again for a long time. You must go in my place, go to the Meiji era, Katakura."

His eyes lit up, to think he's finally being sent out on a job. "Yes, Master Oslo."

"But remember, if you mess up there will be a price to pay."

Katakura shuddered, 'Scary,' even though Master Oslo is always smiling. He even smiles when he is angry. Katakura nodded, "I understand Master."

Oslo nodded, but his expression seemed to get grimmer and grimmer.

"Master?"

"I shall retire to my chambers and rest, traveling to the mortal realm drains a lot of energy. You two, do not stay near the lake for too long," with those words said Katakura watched as the man quickly left.

He lets out a sigh of relief that he had been holding back, "Isn't Master Oslo scarier than usual today? What do you think is wrong with him?"

"Don't be stupid brother, he's been like that since that person went away," she trailed off, "And then he suddenly gets into an accident. Master Oslo said the damage done to that person's body was very bad."

Katakura deeply sighed, "Whether it's master or that person, I never truly understood what they are thinking."

"Maybe you'll get clues when you shadow this girl."

He looked back at the lake that showed the woman named 'Setsura,' she was still in the middle of the space between worlds. Katakura frowned, "She's taking her time getting there, normally it takes effect right away."

"Isn't it because she's too attached to something in the mortal world? Cut of the source."

"We can't do that, her source of attachment is her lover," Katakura deeply sighed, "Damn, I'll just go in and give her a bit of a push. Don't fool around Cynthia."

"Yes, yes, dear brother."

Katakura turned to leave, 'Ah, should I tell Master Oslo that while I intended to cause the earthquake, the damage he only meant the damage to be around that girl,' it surprised Katakura when it affected the whole of Tokyo. It's not like he has no control of his powers, so for this to happen is very peculiar.

Did somebody interfere here too? He frowned, well if it's Master Oslo he will figure it out, anyway. Time to save the girl.

----

It felt like she was drowning.

She was falling and falling at an increasing speed, and yet it felt slow to her. It felt like something was trying to pull her back to the surface.

The darkness around her did not help.

Even though her eyelids were heavy and she couldn't open them properly, right now Setsura knew she was in a dark and cold place.

No, it's not cold. She knew what cold was, she knew what misery was - but this feeling it reminded her of back then. Yes, back when she was ten years old. She got this kind of feeling once before, this mysterious and cold feeling. A few hours before that incidence happened, something was pulling her away from reality.

'This place is familiar,' Setsura thought. Where is she? Has she come here before? But when? And why? What is this place? Why is she here? Setsura couldn't tell whether she was in a pitch of darkness, or water. Wherever she was, she was floating in mid-air - sinking, deeper and deeper.

Her thoughts broke off when she felt a familiar sensation grab her wrist. A person, it was a person? Somebody else was here, and it felt like they were dragging her up, "Aargh geez, somebody really is interfering. Hey? Hey you? Still awake?"

".."

Setsura pretends not to respond, or rather she isn't even sure whether it was okay for her to open her mouth.

The guy deeply sighed, "This is so annoying, right then," he pulled her into his arms, "Excuse me miss, I'll just do this the quick way."

Eh? What is he going to do? Before she knew it, she felt a pair of lips on hers. Instinctively her body jerked, but the gut only kissed her briefly. She didn't get a chance to react to it at all. It felt like something entered her body, and Setsura opened her eyelids slowly. She saw it, a yellow light wrapped around her, and her body started to move towards a different direction. She was still going down, but unlike before, there was something different.

She searched for the person who just 'kissed her,' but her eyes were having a hard time adjusting to the darkness.

"Miss, I'll see you there. So don't open your eyes now."

Those were the last words she hears before she felt a powerful force pull her down. The bright light around her grew even stronger.
