"Seto and Utsumi"

"That Terrifying kind of love"

One week later Yosho returned to Jurai. Misaki came to his room and told him to join her, with Utsumi and Seto, on the campus of the Jurai imperial academy. There was a ceremony for the departure of the student for their sail of practice. They attended to it as part of the family of Kamiki and Seto wanted him to come with them.

It was spring and the flowers were all blooming.

'I love to watch this view every year,' said Seto to Yosho as they passed the garden near the academy. She looked the view in pleasure but Utsumi was standing beside her and kept silent and didn't say anything. Yosho who was in between them looked at Utsumi who was in a bad mood and then asked Seto.

'Lady Seto, why have you asked me to join you today?'

But Seto ignored his question and faced her husband.

'My dear. I will finish my tour with Misaki and Yosho. Please go to the ceremony before us, we will join you later.'

'Why, yes. But I was planning to show Yosho around here. It's a nice chance, you know. It would also be good to be able introduce him to the other teachers,' replied Utsumi gravely.

Listening to this Seto looked at him and laughed. 'You can do it after the ceremony.'

'That Azusa.. er.. The Jurai King has been here before and many people are looking forward to seeing his son.' Utsumi seemed to care for something.

'Then shall I join lord Utsumi?'

Watching them, Yosho guessed there was something with this and it suggested to him. He didn't know why, but he thought it would be better for him to join Utsumi now. And with this Utsumi showed him a smile of relief.

'Ok then. Let's go. I'll show you a lot of nice places.'

'Thank you, Lord Utsumi.'

'Oh you are so sweet, Yosho,' said Seto. She of course knew what her husband was trying to do. 'But no. This must be finished before the ceremony.'

'Then we will go to the ceremony first. Yosho can go with Misaki,' said Utsumi.

'It is relevant for Mr. Yosho, too. My darling.'As if she was pluckin off the man's fingers one by one when he hanging off a cliff, Seto kept on attacking Utsumi.

'All right then, I will go with you all.'

When Utsumi said so, Misaki got around him and caught his arms while Seto grabbed Yosho by his shoulders.

'You see, My little Yoshyo. (sniff) I was molested by him here,' complained Seto to Yosho. (Of course this was a lie.)

'What, what the hell are you saying!!'

Utsumi cried out with a red face. He now didn't care about his well-being or anything. But no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get away from Misaki which was holding him from behind. Poor Utsumi, Misaki was stronger than him now. Following up, Seto began to tell Yosho the disatarios tale, her cheeks were blushing.

'Yes, that day the flowers were blooming like today. I was having a nap in the bushes and then suddenly something came over me.'

'Oh no! What are you telling the boy!'

Utsumi did not agree with this, but it seemed that this part was true.

'I tried to resist him as hard as I could. But what could a delicate woman do?' said Seto and then she wiped her tears with Yosho's sleeve.

'Delicate? Don't lie! You grimalikin!!'

No one will agree with you on that.

'And then to my breast his hand'

'Nooo! Seto was sleeping and I just hitched my foot on her. That's why I got over her! That's all!!' cried out Utsumi.

'But you've touched my breast.'

'It's was an accident. I couldn't help it when I fell on you! Before this, it was all because of you. You didn't appear at the entering ceremony and I was told to look for you! And.. and you were sleeping in the bushes comfortably. First of all, I was only 9 years old!!'

He didn't notice it, but he was now telling the tale to Yosho.

'By the way, Mother was 4,500 years old then,' said Misaki. And Seto popped her head.

'You shut up!'

'ouch.' Misaki looked back at her mother. But she was good at not to leting her father go, even in such cases.

'But I really was surprised. It had been a long time since I was touched,' said Seto face turned from a strict and scary one in to a gracile lady's face. She blushed her cheeks and leaned on Yosho. She was now a beauty, it was a sexy view, but seeing her strict face when she hit Misaki, no man would have feeling for her then.

'Of course not. No one would meddle with the "The terrifying princess of Jurai" if he cares about his life,' Utsumi blurted out and tried not to say it to Yosho.

'Oh, little Yoshyo, that furry bear is teasing me. He must have forgotten what he did to me. Boohoo,' wept Seto and hanged on tight to Yosho.

'Yo-You! I was only a boy that tripped over you, and just said, "I could not marry any more. So take responsibility for it." with a straighten face.'

'It was only a joke,' replied Seto.

'How could a 9 years old boy know that!! Did you know that I couldn't even eat for over a month cause fear?'

'And you had to go to the hospital because of denutrition,' laughed Misaki.

'Yes, yes that's right! After that, for 130 years I trained my self. And finally I was able to work up the courage to talk you face to face. So then I told you that I would take care of you, then you, then you said'

'What what did you say?'

To Yosho's question, Seto showed her tongue and said,

'I laughed. You see, he just suddenly proposed to me without saying any thing after 130 years'

'If I knew your better, it would have taken you 130 years more!'

Yosho remembered that most of the older people told him that Seto was really scary.

Being satisfied, Seto nodded and faced Yosho with a smile.

'So that was what he was worried about and that was why he wanted to take you with him. He thought I would tell you about this. Well he told you himself after all.'

'Er, I see,' answered Yosho as he glanced back at Utsumi. There he was, now finding out that he told all of his secrets to Yosho by himself and he was knocked out cause of it.

'So you told him all about it, now there's nothing for you to worry about, darling. Let's go, my Little Yosho.'

Seto pushed Yosho and he started to walk again. Few steps later he looked back and found poor Utsumi sinking in the ground. Now he understood many things in many ways; about why his father would tread walk on eggs when he dealt with Seto, and why the others that knew her well were afraid of her and why she was called as "the Terrifying Princess of Jurai".

"I didn't want to understand it this way, I must take care around her, too," thought Yosho from his soul.

After watching Utsumi, he couldn't help thinking so.


P.S. Just not to make any misunderstanding. Seto and Utsumi love each other very deeply. There are many places where Seto shows her love to him and she really cares about him.
