No matter how comfortable she gets, her bad habit waking up every two or three hours does not disappear. It was the same this time too. When she opened her eyes Sumire knew it was late into the night, but her gaze scanned a familiar back. Yuhi was sitting with guitar in hand and scribbling something down onto a notepad.
"Yuhi.." Sumire called out.
"Hmm? Go back to sleep, it's still late."
"Um, what about you?"
"I will soon."
Sumire buried her face in his back and Yuhi laughed.. "I thought you would be embarrassed."
"I am but."
'More than that I want to touch you and feel your warmth.'
She immediately shook her head. No, she definitely cannot get caught up in the flow like she did today. It was already bad enough that she agreed! She knew even without looking that Yuhi's wounds had reopened.
The saying exercise self restraint certainly applies to her right now. She has to control herself even more than he does.
Sumire reluctantly pulled away from him and buried her face underneath the thin sheets. Maybe she ought to go back to sleep. It is not like staying awake will help her.
But no matter how much she tried to sleep. It was hard for her to get rid of the image of what Yuhi and her just did. The only thing that remained on her mind was his smile, and how even in that messy situation he still shone so brightly in her eyes.
When did admiration turn into love?
How does one tell the difference? The reality is, it is very difficult. There are certain times where it felt like she merely admires and respects Yuhi. But then there are equally as many times where her heart would beat fast like a girl in love.
She pretends to fall asleep because she knew Yuhi would leave if she did. After a few minutes of pretending to sleep she hears him quietly leave the room.
'He doesn't smoke as much when he is around me. No, I seldom see it these days. It is nice that he is being so considerate.' But there is no point if he is just going to smoke double the amount later on.
Sumire took a deep breath before she managed to get up. It was a bit difficult considering how weak her legs felt but she didn't want to waste much time.
The moment she left the room and stepped out onto the hallway. She hears familiar voices. It was Sano, but right in front of him was a man with long straight pitch black hair. He wore a pitch black robe with fur on top and black garments underneath.
She felt her heart beat increase, and a splitting pain appeared in her head.
Sumire caught a glimpse of her eye colour flickering back and forth.
This presence, could it be that this person is who she thinks he is?
This man is he---her thoughts broke off when the man raised his hand and hit Sano across the cheek.
It was a mere slap but due to the amount of force he fell on the ground.
"You can't even please a client. Who told you to leave?"
"But sir she--"
"Do you think you're special just because I picked you to get closer to Ibuki Sumire? Don't make me laugh, I can always find somebody else. You should know now that I have another agent that is perfect for this role."
'Is he talking about Toh?'
A man with short grey hair and golden coloured eyes appears in her memory. It was one of the worse encounters in her life so she would rather not think about it. But if he is going to resort to threatening Sano with Toh, perhaps she ought to speak up-
Sumire shook her head. Right now she can barely stand, it would be bad if they caught her right now. Moreover, her gaze fell on Sano. He isn't that weak.
She didn't wait for his reply and simply walked in a different direction. The moment she rushed off, the rapid feeling in her heart slowed down. The pain in her head gradually vanished.
'A man with dark coloured hair and an overwhelming presence.' This is the only proper information Eli has managed to obtain about him, but it seems it was enough.
So that's Lucifer is it? Even his name screams evil. That was unexpected, she didn't think she would run into him so soon. No more importantly, how can Sano stay near that man? Just now she was on the verge of collapsing.
'Medicine.' That was the first thing that popped into her mind. Sano was feeding her that odd medication for a while wasn't he?
Is it that? He seemed so adamant that she took it. It seems he was preparing her just in case she crossed paths with him.
How dangerous, it was just a mere glimpse and they were standing so far apart. What if she was right in front of him?
It seems she is no match for him.
'Maybe I ought to consult with Yumi-senpai on this.'
Not maybe she ought to. The situation seems to be getting worse, on the surface it looks calm. But those people are getting bolder and bolder. She saw them on the streets earlier. If they can walk around openly now it must mean their plans are going well.
The moment Sumire entered the rooftop, she spotted Yuhi leaning against the railing. He was overlooking the city smoking, she spotted several cigarettes at his feet and sighed.
'He is way too fast.'
Yuhi immediately turned to her with a gentle gaze.
"Hey love, you joined me after all."
"How many?"
"A few packs."
"You weren't gone that long--"
"Hey give me a break, I have to stop myself from jymping on you again."
Sumire looked at him utterly speechless. Did he hit his head or something? What is with this level of honesty? She cannot get used to this. She didn't respond to this and her gaze fell on the city below.
Tokyo is truly an unusual place. She never thought she would get used to living here. It is far different from Star Town. Star town is not in the countryside, there is a large city too. But the vibe, no the colour, is different. Unlike the colours she sees in Star town that mesh together, the ones in Tokyo are separate.
Is it because there are more people here?
She did not have these thoughts for long since she noticed that Yuhi was gradually getting closer to her.
