Eternal Melody

‘Let me be selfish’ huh? She’s heard those words before.

“Whether or not it’s you, and the others you’re all like this aren’t you.” Sumire sighs. “Ah, really I do wonder if you all practice for this or something.”

 Even now they’re all still the same. 

“I don’t know about the others. But I know for certain that my selfishness only shows when I’m around you.”

At that comment her cheeks coloured. Really what’s with them? Even now, even now they are able to say such lines. It really isn’t fair for her. 

‘Ru, you really did leave me behind with such impossible guys to deal with. It’s impossible to reject or be cold to them. That’s really not fair.’

Sumire felt a sudden dizziness and placed her hand on her mouth, feeling the familiar sensation from before. This isn’t good. This really isn’t. Her violet orbs could clearly see it, the fresh colour of blood.

That colour was — her thoughts broke of when she saw Yuhi staring down at her, he quickly realised it.fr

This pain, it really did make her feel horrible. It was the first time she could feel it clearly. The feeling that there was something wrong with her organs. 

Yuhi moves his hand down the front area of her dress and carefully removes it. He brushed his lips there. “Hold on a second.” He is sucking away at that spot for a few minutes and she struggled to control her voice. 

He was sucking her blood, sucking away all the bad toxins. But it made her feel strange. Once he had done so, her body began to feel lighter as if the pain wasn’t there to begin with. Yuhi pulled away and fixed her clothes.

“Are you alright?”

“I think so.” She suddenly turned shy realizing what he just did. Even if he was helping her get better, didn’t he take her clothes off way too easily?

Yuhi awkwardly scratched his face. “Look, you know it was the only way. I’m not Atsuro, I can’t give you medical treatment. But since we are both hanyous, I can reduce your pain by drinking your blood.”

“It still isn’t very clear to me.” Sumire mumbled.

It is hard for her to make sense of such a thing. Humans with evolved genetics have supernatural powers aside. Why are there humans that have half demon and human blood? 

“Do you dislike it then?”

Uh why is he asking her this type of question? Sumire was about to make a cold remark when she saw the serious gaze on his face again. Ah she admits defeat. She buried her face in his arms and Yuhi wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer.

“I was very happy, dancing with you.”

“I think I stepped on your foot a few times.”

Yuhi laughed. “You did but I found it cute.”

“I need to learn to waltz properly.”

She is an idol and she can do all sorts of dances, but why is it so hard to waltz? Maybe because it is a dance that involves two people. Not just for Yuhi’s sake but for Soujiro too. She hasn’t heard from the latter for awhile now, but knowing him he is most-likely working hard on something to do with her. 

He is very subtle about his emotions, but the way she is now she understands people a lot better. That person is most-likely the same as the others. 

….

A few hours later Yuhis apartment.

Sumire’s gaze fell on Yuhi who was on top of her. He was looking at her with the eyes of a predator that just caught it’s prey. But ever since they got him all he has done is kiss her. It seems he is being very careful since she doesn’t feel very well.

‘I never thought I would meet a man that would treat me as well as he treats me. I didn’t think it was possible for me to be so happy.’ 

But this happiness will come with great sacrifice. She cant relax too much. 

Still for now she has to focus on uh this situation that she ended up in. She knew how much that job would take a toll on her mentally which is why she cleared the rest of her schedule afterwards. It seems Hino also had the same idea as her, so she headed home. But it never occurred to her that Yuhi would do the same. It was awkward walking back together. Neither of them said a word, when they finally got inside. Yuhi started to kiss her and before she knew it he lifted her in his arms and brought her to the room.

“Sumire, what do you want me to do?”

Uh why is it her decision? He is the one who started this so shouldn’t he finish this off? Her cheeks coloured at those words. What crazy things is she thinking off?

Yuhi must have taken her confirmation as a yes since he kissed her lips again. It was a very passionate kiss and she felt sweat falling from her face. 

“Um Yuhi-san, wait a minute.”

He seemed bothered that he had to stop but Sumire knew she had to get these words out. Moreover it is not like he had stopped entirely, one of his hands was on her breasts. ‘When did he manage this? He works way too fast.’ Then again she recalled the rumors she heard regarding him being a womaniser. When she first came here she heard that a lot, but as time went by it slowly went away.

Naturally it would, everybody saw how Yuhi-san treated her differently. Those affectionate eyes whenever he looks at her and all the spoiling. 

Before they dated however she heard very awful things. It didn’t sound like the Yuhi she knew. Then again her gaze fell on the dragon like tattoo on his chest.

Whenever they do this, she never comments on it. But today the atmosphere seemed a bit strange. 

“You know before you say something, I think I should let you know that I have actually been holding back with you.”

Her sweat fell when she heard those words. Well even she figured that much out. The current Yuhi, there was a fire in his eyes she had never seen before. This is weird, why is he looking at her like this? There is desire but there is also something else, something more.

She ran her fingers through his chest. “Why would you?”

“Indeed, why would I? I think you heard the rumors regarding me Sumire. I won’t deny what I did in the past. You always say you are a bad person, but I should be the one saying those words. The truly evil one is me.”

‘Is that why he would occasionally get that sad look on his face?’ Whenever they are together she is very happy and it seems to be the same for Yuhi. However, he has these moments. During those times she starts to doubt whether she had the right to stay by his side.

He continued to kiss her passionately, without giving her a chance to breathe as though he was trying to prove a point. But despite these hungry kisses, it did not phase her.

Yuhi didn’t seem surprised either. “But even if I show you this evil side of me, you will still accept everything about me.”

“You would do the same for me.”

“Is that the only reason why?”

“No.” Sumire trailed off. “I won’t say it doesn’t matter since it does. There is no use white washing the situation. You did plenty of bad things, without caring about other people’s feelings.”
