*UNEDITED*

Once Yuhi finished showing the girl, he noticed that she seemed to have a spaced out look on her face again. Since he watched her a lot, Yuhi understood that she got like this whenever she thought of Mamoru. Whenever they seem to have a moment together, Sumire would end up this way.

"Say Yuhi, I heard some strange rumors about you when I was at the company this morning."

Strange rumors? What are those guys trying to pull now? Ever since everybody learned of Sumires existence, the bad rumors regarding him started. Normally nobody would have the nerve to say anything about him since he had the Presidents backing.

The president did not tell him to stop pursuing Sumire but he did not put the idea aside. Yuhi understood that everybody was simply concerned, but he found their concern stifling and annoying. He has liked Sumire for so long, ever since he was younger.

"They told me a girl got into an accident and has not been able to walk since then. That girl was one of your disciples."

Yuhi's eyes widened when he heard those words. He did not expect Sumire to say that of all things.

"Actually I already heard a bit of this story back then. Quite some time ago, I ended up drawing a picture of you for one of my exhibition pieces. My classmates recognized you and said is that not the singer who ruined somebody's life?" Sumire trailed off. "People normally have nothing but praise for you Yuhi-san, so I had to ask."

The girls middle school was moonlight academy in the end right? To think that the news spread that far, he could still remember clearly the events that had happened that day. It wasn't a accident, it was a suicide attempt what's more it was right in front of him. Just thinking about it now made him sick, causing the colour in his face to drain away.

His breathing became unsteady and he panted heavily. He hears a ringing sound in his head. Yuhi quickly clasped his hands covering his ears, when he felt the brunettes dainty arms around him pulling him forward into a hug.

"It's okay Yuhi. Everything is fine, there is no need for you to suffer anymore."

Such soothing words..anyone could have said them. Anyone could have said them, and yet because it was Sumire. Because it was the girl he had fallen in love with, it was something normal to him. No it was something that had so much more meaning.

...

In the end the two of them ended up returning to the library. They sat on the couch, their hands still laced together. Even though he had stopped shivering, the brunette still hadn't let him go. ' Your Princess is waiting for you' huh? This would be the perfect moment to just go right out and confess. However now that she knows.. correction now that he knows she knows. She probably doesn't expect a confession or anything from him. Come to think of it earlier she said...

"Which of your pieces did you draw a picture of me?" Yuhi was very interested. He did not think the girl even thought of him when she went out with Mamoru. But now he has learned this, he would not let the subject go.

"It's classified Information, but--" She trailed off and rested her head on his shoulder. "If you have other questions, I could answer them for you."

Other questions huh?

"If you knew about that incident, then why are you still here?"

Sumire laughed. "You're going to ask that?"

"I understand how you feel… You told me that before. I thought it was only empty words. How could you understand how I feel? But, it seems like you do understand."

"That girl was naive and young, what happened to her was my fault." Yuhis gaze dimmed. "She told me she wanted to learn from me not as her senpai in the entertainment world but martial arts, she wanted to learn to fight."

Sumire blinked when she heard those words. "Fight?"

"It seems she wanted to take revenge on the people who killed her family. I only taught her how to protect herself. But because we spent a lot of time together, people misunderstood our relationship. Some guys who lost their jobs because of me and ended up becoming a delinquent heard the news." He paused and clenched his fist when he recalled the message from that day.

The sound of that maniac laughter, her cries and the sound of her legs being broken.

He did not make it on time.

When he reached the scene, it was terrible. Her legs were so badly crushed that he could not recognize it anymore. The same went for her arms and yet they left her face in tac. It was almost like they were trying to send him a message. This girl still has some use or idols only need to be beautiful. He did not train her anything regarding music but Yuhi saw how

much she loved music.

She was clumsy at playing the piano but there was something beautiful whenever she played it. The same went for the guitar too.

But she could no longer use her hands.

"She was a dance expert and yet.."

Her legs were so badly broken that the doctor said there was no chance of recovery. When he spoke to the doctor, she just happened to enter the room on her wheelchair. Yuhi could not forget the pained expression on her face when she heard those words.

Yuhi apologized to her so many times and yet she always laughed and told him. It wasn't your fault but mine.

The girl never directly blamed him.

But by saying those words she indirectly blamed him.

For the past few minutes Sumire did not say a word and Yuhi thought she was angry this time. But instead she suddenly clapped her hands. "I got it, then let me see this girl."

Huh? Wait, what?
