Eternal Melody

1099 Tokyo Illusion Part 37

YUHI

'I want to treasure and love her like I did before. I don't want whatever this is.'

He sighs defeated and Sumire giggled. "Come over here my dear."

Yuhi looked at her cautiously. Last time they bathed together, they ended up fighting. Moreover, just a few seconds ago, the tone she used. His thoughts break off when Sumire suddenly stands up. His entire face reddened seeing her completely naked.

'What am I doing blushing like a school boy? But, I really can't help it. She is so beautiful. She has no idea what she does to me when she shows so much of herself.' Yuhi watched as she stood in front of him and tugged on his arm.

"Come join me, Yi?"

Hearing that name, Yuhi knew he wouldn't be able to win against her so he agreed to follow her into the tub. Sumire took one brief glance at his clothes before discarding them for him. Yuhi had to stop himself from jumping on her on the spot.

The moment they were inside the tub, Sumire wrapped her arms around his neck and mumbles. "I'm sorry my dear."

Why does she have to apologize? 

The one who should be apologizing is him.

Yuhi shook his head. "I'm the one to blame this time, don't blame yourself."

"But I will, because of my words you suffered."

"You were telling the truth. I needed to hear that-" Yuhi's sentence fell short when Sumire started to kiss his neck. "Sumire-"

"We can talk later, for now stay still and let me have you. I've missed you too much."

Yuhi didn't argue, because it was the same for him. He has missed this, missed being with her like this.

Yuhi decided to return the girl to their bedroom. Although he can cope sleeping in the attic, it's not good for her. There is a cold draft there, and there isn't a bed. The makeshift one he has been sleeping on the past few days. Making love in such a small bathroom, and then taking her again on the floor in the main room. 

He mentally ticked a list in his head. This girl will find a way to make all his fantasies come true. He was leaning against the wall outside with a cigarette and guitar in hand, deep in thought.

'I wonder what kind of conversation we will have when she wakes up. Hopefully, it's not something I will mess up again.'

His thoughts break off realizing someone was watching him. He turned to the source to see brown hair. It was Sumire. She was peeking through the door.

"Are you trying to seduce me with your music?" Sumire asked.

"If I am, it's a payback for earlier." Yuhi argued.

"You're so petty Yuhi."

"Come over here." Yuhi said as he put his guitar down.

Sumire rushed to his arms. Thankfully the girl was wearing some clothes. He seriously wouldn't know what to do if she embraced him naked again.

"You didn't stay."

"I wanted to give you some space. You know, just in case you regret it." Yuhi said as he stroked her hair.

"Hmmm..." Sumire traced his chest with her fingers.

"So you-" Yuhi's sentence fell short when Sumire kissed him.

Yuhi stared at her dumbfounded and Sumire sighed deeply. "I wouldn't have let you touch me if I was still mad."

Oh.

"My dear." Sumire mumbled softly. "After calming down. I realized it doesn't matter after all. Whether you're hiding anything from me. Those are your secrets to keep."

'Mashima must have spoken to her about forgiving him...'

"Can I kiss you?" Yuhi asked.

Sumire nodded. "Ready."

His lips curved to amused. "Just for kissing?"

She tilted her head innocently. "Permission for fondling too."

'Even after a few days apart, even after their first proper fight. Sumire's love and affection, and the desire she has for me hasn't changed.'

Of course it wouldn't. After seeing that globe, how could he possibly think that Sumire was going to throw him away?

"I see you two have made up." A voice suddenly said from behind them.

Sumire jumps back and laughs nervously. 

"Uh, huh."

"We're almost there."

Toh wrapped her poncho around her shoulders as he continued to speak and explain about the terrain.

Sumire laughs. "This is too much."

"It's cold here, beautiful. Unless you have other ways to warm up."

Sumire batted her eyelashes at him innocently but he sensed desire.

Not towards Mashima but towards him.

Yuhi gulped. This girl, what is she doing messing around? Didn't they just finish fooling around?

Mashima rolled his eyes knowingly. "Well, if you ever want an extra party, let me know."

Sumire's face coloured. "I-I won't do --something so horrid!!'

Toh laughed. "So you say."

Yuhi still felt disturbed watching the two. But his emotions felt strangely calmer than before. So, he confidently wrapped his arms around Sumire from the back and rested his head on hers.

He felt Sumire intertwined their hands together and a content sigh escaped his lips.

He truly doesn't know how he has managed to survive the last few days. 

"So, do we have a plan when we get there? K region hasn't exactly been accepting visitors since the burning of the Ibuki family manor." Yuhi wondered.

Did the two of them come up with anything while he was sulking? Initially the three of them were supposed to discuss it that day he and Sumire fought.

Sumire tilted her head. "I mean, they can act all protective if they want. But the deeds to those lands are all in my name. I have already turned eighteen too, they can't keep anything from me anymore."

Yuhi blinked. "So, are we just going to stroll in?"

Sumire winked. "Of course we do so in style."

 ___________________

Sumire's idea of doing something in style usually involved blowing something up. Yuhi already knew before she mentioned the plan, a few minutes away from her family manor. Using their flames, the two of them set the gate on fire and Mashima knocked the guards down. It didn't take long before they heard rushing footsteps and were surrounded by other guards pointing their spears at them.

Yuhi sighs deeply. Well, he knew this would happen. 'I thought Mashima would stop her from acting recklessly. But, now that I think about it, Atsuro mentioned before that Mashima often dragged Sumire into dangerous situations.'

"Don't fucking touch her." A voice bellowed across the courtyard.

Sumire tilted her head. "I wondered what condition I'd find you in, but aren't you fine? Brother Rayne."
