After having been pushed by her lovely escort, she soon found herself in front of the famous taste of Italy, one of the best places in town. Hesitantly she took Setsuko's hand and followed him to a table where it was nice and dry. Despite having been kept safe from the rain, she was worried about him getting a cold and handed him her jacket once they were sitting."I don't want to hear you sneezing or complaining later. So take it.."

Oh? She's worried. Hahah.. She's worried! That means she still cares for him, right? Hmmmm... If he played his cards right then maybe he would be able to have her trust again. Sitting right beside her, he would then take her hand, give it a little squeeze as he shake his head gently with a smile on his face. "Keep it. You being here by my side would keep me warmed up." He said winking playfully at her then asked the waiter for their menu. Taking her hand down to her side, he made sure that it was hidden from others before he laced his fingers into hers as he opened the menu. "What would you like to eat?" He asked as he leaned closer to her keeping a small distance in between them close enough for her to be aware of his presence but far enough to keep her from getting wet. He's still drenched from the rain.

Ichigo found herself blushing when she felt Setsuko's hand on hers, especially after he sat right next to her. Ignoring her concern for his health she rolled her eyes in a dismissive manner, cheeks a burning red. Despite their fall out there was no doubt about it that she still loved him and he knew just how to wind her up."You're such a siren...you know that..? And I'll have lasagna..."

Feigning innocence, "What ever do you mean?" Keeping their hands intertwined he leaned back a little, closing the menu, handing it over to their waiter. "You heard the lady, we'll have both of those with two glasses of your finest wine. Thank you." Once their order was down he lifted her hand turning it over so that the back of her hand would be facing him. "Now if you'd excuse me, I just need to have myself dried up." Kissing her knuckles gently he let go of her hand and stood up his eyes still focused on hers. "Don't want you worrying too much about me now." Giving her another wink he turned his heel and went off elsewhere. The bathroom maybe? Who knows? But he'd be gone for a good amount of time, enough to worry the little damsel in her seat and fidget in place. The food had been served but Setsuko will still be nowhere in sight. The only thing that would be more obvious than his sudden disappearance was the change of music that was being played within the restaurant.

Ichigo looked around, her heart suddenly skipping a beat. Her chest tightening again. Was he leaving her again like he did earlier to see Red? He wouldn't. Would he? Panic began to overwhelm the brunette's body as she tried to remain calm. She would give him a few minutes and if he didn't return, she would be the one to leave. Yes. Tapping her fingers nervously on the table in attempt to distract herself, she would notice a sudden change in the music.

Stealthily Setsuko placed his chin over her shoulder, turning his face to her ear whispering, "What do you think?" Sitting back to his seat he smiled sweetly taking her hand in his again, giving it another kiss. "I was listening to your song when you ran off and have you in mind while making this song. You inspire me Ichi. I don't want to loose you. I'm sorry. Forgive me?" Using his puppy dog eyes he kneeled right before her as if he was to propose, but no... not yet.

Ichigo felt a sense or relief when she saw Setsuko return and take his place beside her. But even more when he took his hand in hers and looked into her eyes as he spoke what she could feel was in his heart. As much as she wanted to reciprocate those feelings, she was afraid to."Setsuko....I know you mean well...but one romantic dinner and song isn't going to get me running back into your arms if that's what you're expecting....I need to see it...one doesn't just prove their love overnight...it's not that simple....but as much as I hate to say this...I do admit that...I couldn't stand seeing you with anyone else...that wasn't me..."

Setsuko smiled weakly at his beloved. Of course she's not satisfied with this. Normally his advances would sweep them off their feet but not her. If the romantic dinner and a song dedicated to her was not enough then what else does he need to do? "The feelings mutual. I thought I have been replaced there at the beach but I was really happy that I wasn't. I can't bare to see you with someone else Ichi not with anyone else, just me. Tell me what else I need to do. Please I beg you. I'll do anything."

Just as their food arrived, she thought about what to say. He was determined to win her back, whatever it took. Letting out a sigh, she took a sip of he wine then looked back at him."Setsuko....things like this can't be rushed...that's one of the lessons of love and forming a bond with someone. Especially someone you love. Another, is not keeping any secrets from said person; if you don't have anything to hide then there isn't any reason to keep secrets or hidden. Keep secrets then there is no trust. No trust leads to fights and fights lead to break ups. If you really love me, then don't lie to me or keep secrets from me."

"Fine, no secrets. From now on I'm an open book. I may not be able to tell you everything but feel free to ask me, I promise I'll answer you truthfully." Now sat back on his chair, Setsuko held the glass on his hand sipping a small amount of it looking at her. Just to be sure she does not misunderstand things in the future he felt that he needed to say this. "Please don't be jump to any conclusions just yet of what I'm about to say, okay?" He paused for a few seconds and would wait for her answer before continuing. "Aside from Red there's something else that I think that would be essential for you to know. You do know that I compose songs, right? Well most of my talents are... well... females." That would be a bad thing to say right now but if it's the truth she wants then its the truth she gets. She was right if he was to regain her trust then he should start with telling her what to expect. He knew himself well enough. Once he hears something he likes he would probably act like a weirdo stalker again until he gets what he wanted. It's like a sickness for the young siren since he has no voice of his own. Better let her know of this before it turns into another fight again.

Ichigo stared at her glass of wine for a good while, wondering if this was the kind of thing her mother had gone through with her dad during his days starting out as a musician while she had been dating him. How difficult it was to be dating an artist, perhaps now she understood her mother a bit better."It can be very lonely, being with an aspiring artist, musician,'what have you. Because, they're never satisfied. That's one of their biggest flaws. And I think that's what led to my parents separating. I know you love me...somewhere deep down....but...I won't end up like my mother. My father had to choose between his love for his music and love for his wife, he couldn't have both. You'll never be satisfied Setsuko. Not with my voice, not with another, you'll always crave more. It's like a sickness. I know where my heart is. You must find out for yourself where yours lies. Because I'm sure when you're out there doing your work, the only thing on your mind is capturing that perfect sound. That voice that you long for. You get lost in the moment and anything can happen, feelings of awe, passion, confusion, all these are what you put yourseld at risk for. A good example was when we were back at your studio recording and we got lost in the moment. It's stuff like that I worry about."

As sudden slap from reality just hit the poor siren. Music had always been his dear friend. Asking him to choose between it and her would be the hardest decision he could ever make. Closing his eyes for a moment, he thought tried to choose between them. It was no use. He can't. Not right now. This was just too sudden for him. "I'm sorry for letting you recall the things that happened between your parents. I know it can be tough but as you said, a relationship needs to be build up with trust. I know that I was to gain yours still but... Ichigo. You do understand that I am a siren. For such creature to be deprived of his voice music had always been my life. I can't just throw it away. Meeting you, hearing your voice gave me strength to move on. You are my voice please don't take that away from me. If you do love me then you must understand that I am this kind of man. If you take away my music then what's left of me would be an empty shell. Would you even rather be with a man like that?" This is what he has been afraid of from the start. He loves her, yes. But taking away his music would mean that he would have to give up what he truly was.

Ichigo looked up from her glass and looked at Setsuko in the eyes, her gaze serious and caring at the same time. But also holding a sense of mystery in them."You won't have to because I won't make you. All I'm asking is to not put me aside as a part of your collection or treasures meanwhile you search on for more. There is more to me than just my voice. I love music yes, but I love you more. There was one mistake my father made I hate to admit and that was putting his music first. That I have yet to forgive him for. It was selfish to abandon his family in pursuit of his happiness. I thought I was enough but obviously I was wrong. I don't plan on going through that again. Ever."Ichigo then stood, having only eaten a little as she gathered her things and pushed her chair in. Seeing that the rain had died down and knew Setsuko was itching to get to work and didn't want to keep him any longer."You do what you have to do and as long as you're happy, I'm happy Setsuko. I think I'm going to take a small break from the music business for a while. And just focus on finding myself because I'm still not at peace inside and that's preventing me from moving on. It's time I stop following a ghost and realize that my dad is never coming back. It's time to face the music how they say in business.."

Setsuko shook his head gently and reached out for her hand. "Thank you" Relieved that he only misunderstood what she meant. Hopefully the would not come a day that she will ask him that though for he cannot. Right now they were on equal ground. Nothing surpasses the other and... "Don't you even dare try to see yourself as a part of my collection because you are not. You are more than that." As she stood up he let go of her hand and followed her out leaving their payment on the table for the waiters to get. Sadness had filled him once more when he heard her speech again. "Don't say that. It's like your already saying goodbye." NO, he could not have that. He would not like that. "I'll call you later, okay?"

walked up to Setsuko and smiled as she planted a soft kiss on his lips, one that was enough to put him in a trance. After a minute she moved her lips to his forehead and kissed him affectionately, holding him close in a tight embrace."I love you Setsuko, don't ever forget that. And someday I hope to be the mother of your children. That's how serious I am about you. Until that day comes, I'll be waiting patiently at your side and supporting you in the best way I can. Just don't break what trust is left, that's all I ask in return."
