"Sumire." Yuhi said softly. In the next second, he is kissing her deeply. She was completely caught off guard. From his behavior she thought she scared him, but it was not like that at all.

So much time has passed since she last gave herself completely to another person like this. Sumire actually forgot when was the last time. It wasn't with Ru or Sano. Ah yes, it was with that man - the man named Kanagawa Ren. She only knew him for a short amount of time but he understood her far better than anybody else did.

Sumire felt Yuhi's hands on her stomach. It was cold and yet she didn't push him away. He deepens the kiss while touching her. Sumire almost let him do whatever he wanted but they hear the sound of a beeping from a truck.

"Damn." Yuhi pulled away from her. "This really isn't the best time to seduce."

She wasn't though, she only wanted a normal kiss. It was his fault for going overboard.

"We still have time, let's go to the next place." Yuhi suddenly said interrupting her trail of thought.

..

The next place was of course food.

It seemed like Yuhi skipped his meal to come and get her. While she was flattered by the thought. Sumire didn't like the idea of him skipping meals.

The place Yuhi brought her to was a small restaurant at the edge of town. It was in such a shady looking location though and looked shabby from the outside. It would bother her a lot more if Yuhi wasn't with her but he was so she simply stepped inside.

There were a few tables, a dead plant on the side, and paintings on the wall. The paintings looked so out of place in contrast with the bright orange walls.

A counter that looked like it belonged to a bar. A few drinks out on display, behind it was a tall man with long black hair. "Ah, so the challenger has arrived."

"Hey Rein, what's that about challenger?" Yuhi pulled up a seat for her and she immediately sat down.

"Word on the street is that your—" Rein paused in mid-sentence when he saw her. "—dating the Ibuki Sumire...Woah…"

Yuhi rolled his eyes and quickly explained to her. "You're famous in these parks, that's why I never brought you here before. The guys in this area are actually good people who worship you."

Sumire blinked at that piece of news. As a member of the entertainment industry people admiring her shouldn't be new. But Sumire felt something odd about this. "Could I ask why?"

Rein looked embarrassed. "Uh..that is.."

"Apparently," Yuhi interjected. "They saw you rescue someone from another gang. Since then the people here have idolized you as an idol fighter or something."

She wanted to avoid getting into a fight before her big day, but it was difficult for her to stay calm unless she fought. Sumire wandered around the dangerous looking parts, hoping to find a fight. But instead she ended up finding somebody getting bullied. All of them were members of the same gang, but they treated one individual differently.

Sumire understood of course. There is always one in every gang, a goffer. She just happened to stumble upon a bad situation where one was getting abused.

"I see."

Yuhi chuckled at her response. "Not very interested?"

"Well it was a long time ago. I was in a bad mood that day too so I wouldn't exactly call it heroic." Or rather she didn't hesitate to break some bones even when the bullying stopped.

Rein looked at her dumbfounded but nodded. He glanced over at Yuhi, "Uh you two are actually a couple?"

Sumire answered for Yuhi by pressing her lips against his. 

"The...the.."

"Yes, we're dating." 

Yuhi chuckled. "She has me wrapped around her little finger. As you can see, she likes me a lot."

"It isn't like Yuhi, its love." Sumire corrected him. It still felt strange for her to use the word love. But she understood that she could only use the words love to describe her feelings for Yuhi. Even if the world condemns them, this is the only word she can use to describe how fond she is.

"As the wife said, it's love."

"Go die Yuhi, quit showing off."

Yuhi laughed.

Sumire looked at the scene interested. This is the first time she has seen Yuhi banter with somebody other than Hino and the guys from the flower arrangement club. So it seems like Yuhi has friends after all. The people in school portray him as this god they cant get close to, so this was an unusual sight. 

"So what's on the menu?"

"Pie, all sorts." Rein said with a huge grin on his face.

"You cool with that?" Yuhi asked her.

Sumire nodded. She wasn't exactly hungry so a cup of coffee or tea would be fine. But it seemed like Yuhi wanted to eat with her. She glanced over at him. Now that she thought about it, she doesn't have much of an opportunity to stare at his side profile. 

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Sumire mumbled. She needs to calm down. This isn't the first time she has had a boyfriend. Yet these days she acts like a girl who is in love for the first time, she needs to get a grip on reality. What on earth is she doing behaving like this for? If those people learned of her current situation then they would certainly mock and scorn her. Sumire glanced over at Yuhi, she wondered what this man would think if he knew — she paused in mid-thought. Since this is Yuhi he should know already. 

The thing Touko mentioned was something everybody knew. But it still involved a little bit of digging. She said all that stuff about Yuhi knowing already but she was testing him. It seemed like her worries and fears were unnecessary. Yuhi he doesn't care - no it's because he cares for her, it doesn't make a difference to him. To think he cares that much for her.
