XI/ Trust

"Listen, Setsuna"

"Once you leave this place later, I want you to look for a one man" Setsuna tilted her head. A man?

"Yes, his name is Aohitsugi Samatoki, he can protect you" convince Chiaki, while holding Setsuna's shoulders. "No, he will protect you!"

.•*¨*•.¸¸♬

Setsuna sit at the dining table while holding the green amulet in her hand. On her right side, Samatoki, the person that her brother asked her to look for is sitting, while smoke his cigarette. While on left...

"Here, I cook a chicken soup" Riou come out from the kitchen, brings the pot to the dining table. He also cook the rice for them.

"Uhm, thanks, Busujima-san, sorry for troubling you" said Setsuna. Riou flashes a smiles to the young woman.

"No worry, I'm sure you're hungry after the incidents...and you skipped your lunch, aren't you? So, here dig in!" invited Riou, preparing the meal for her.

Again, Setsuna thanks to Riou, before she tastes the food. Her facial turned delight when sips the soups, "This is delicious!"

"Really? I'm glad" he turn his head, look at Samatoki that sit opposite to him. "Samatoki, do you want to eat?"

"N-no, thanks... I'm still full" rejected Samatoki. Albeit, he just eat large amounts of seaweed just now. Samatoki knows Riou using an edible ingredients from Jyuto's kitchen, but, he just cannot bring himself to eat any Riou's cooking...especially he still can taste the rat and bat meats in his mouth, and realized their taste does not different much with chicken's...

Urgh, maybe I should avoid eat chicken for a time being, monologue Samatoki, rest his chin on his right hand. His ruby eyes stuck at Setsuna faces.

"Now, what are you going to do?" asked Samatoki, out of blue. Setsuna looks at Samatoki as she blinks her eyes. Their contrast eye colours reflected into each others.

"You've lost your brother, and now you are all alone...why you didn't go to Chuoku District? I think, they'll allow you to enter" suggest Samatoki. Although, honestly, he doesn't really fonds of Chuoku District's idea, but, well at least, some women like Setsuna need those place for safety.

Setsuna gaze drop to the chicken soup in front of her, "You're right...I can just go to Chuoku and hiding inside the wall..." Samatoki sighs, the issue would be immediately settle then. His left hand tap the cigarette at the ashtrays on the table.

"...but..." Samatoki glances at Setsuna.

"For the last time, I want to trust the man that my brother really trust with to look after me" Samatoki noticed Setsuna is looking at him.

"It's you...Aohitsugi Samatoki"

The silver-haired man drop silent when heard that from Setsuna's mouth. For someone...neither he nor her ever meet up and she want to put a trust on him?

Samatoki burst into a laughs, which makes both Setsuna and Riou puzzles.

"Oh god damnit, why both of you and your brother is so amusing?" said Samatoki, in between of his laughs. Setsuna's cheeks turn red as she frowns. She not sure either that is a mockery or compliments.

"I, I haven't finish my line!" Setsuna tries to stop Samatoki from continue his laughs. The man stop laughs, as he look at her.

"A-Although I said that I want to trust you, but, I still can't trust you! The yakuza that promised to protect us did betrayed to us...so, how do you want me to trust you?" Samatoki widen his eyes when heard that from Setsuna. Apparently, she is not blindly to trust him like Chiaki's did.

He chuckles, "Well, do you want to know why your brother trust me?", he slide his hand inside his back pocket of his trouser and bring out an amulet. "Because of this..." He present it to Setsuna.

She blinks her eyes, "...an amulet...?" and it's doesn't seems the one that bought from the shrine.

"A person who kept a handmade amulet can't possibly a bad guy" she glances at Samatoki, as a smiles carved on his handsome face.

"That's what Chiaki told me..." He look at the amulet, "...after I told him I got this from my younger sister as well..."

Setsuna look at the green amulet in her hand. This amulet are among stuff that her brother packed for her in the bag before they separate, including the hypnosis microphone.

She remembered the day she gave it to her brother. It was from their first new year since moved to Yokohama and they visit the shrine together. At the time, Chiaki is struggling to look for a job, so she went to buy an amulet for a better luck. Usually people would changes it for new one every year, but somehow, he still has the same amulet that she gave him last time.

"Do you ever check the inside?" Setsuna looks at Samatoki, she shakes her head. "You should check it," suggest Samatoki. At first she hesitant, but eventually, open it up.

"...a memory card and ...picture?" puzzle Setsuna. She open the folded picture. It's their family portrait. Her eyes swell up and deep heart overwhelming by the nostalgic feeling. She wipes away her tears that trailing down to her cheeks.

"This memory card..."

"Should we check the inside?" ask Samatoki while discarded the cigarette buds. He get up from seat and went into one of Jyuto's room. A second later, he bring out laptop to the dining table. Setsuna actually curious about Samatoki and Jyuto relationship as he is yakuza while Jyuto is a police officer and ...Samatoki seems comfortable and used to be in Jyuto's apartment.

He switch on the laptop, as Setsuna give the memory card to Samatoki check the contains. After the card succeed to be read, it's show all the contains is mp3 audio. Samatoki frowns when he read one of the file's name. It's in English.

"A-Ave Maria Remix?" Setsuna jolted when heard the name, her face immediately changes into red, blushing. "W-wait what?!" Samatoki clicks the file and the song played.

It is Ave Maria, but without the vocal and additional remix and arranging a bit different, no, a lot of different! She blushes when heard the song. "T-this is my song"

Samatoki and Riou looks at Setsuna in clueless face, "Y-your song?" She nodded, "I make this arrangement for nii-chan when he said he works part-time as DJ and...loves Hip-Hop..."

"You can arrange a song?" ask Riou. She nodded, "Y-yes, I used to be the composer in my music club in high school" admit Setsuna. Samatoki tilted his head. So, that's what Chiaki means when he said his sister is better with musical skills?

"Tell me, Setsuna" she look at Samatoki. "When you learned that Chiaki works for yakuza...don't you mad at him?"

Setsuna speechless to heard the question, then she answered, "Of course...I feel mad and disappointed when know he works for them..." I guess so

"...but, nii-chan won't do something without any reason..." Samatoki widen his eyes. "I trust him for whatever reason makes him stuck with Shimoda"

Samatoki chuckles as he smiles, "Is that so?"

In the same time, Jyuto enter the apartment after done making a call and walk to the living room only to find they all sitting at the dining table.

"Now, Setsuna, since you're hunted by whatsoever organization and Shimoda. It is better if you were under someone with authority and strong to take care of you..." Jyuto and Riou raises their brows.

"...I'll take care of you" All of them speechless. Huh?
