Eternal Melody

To her surprise after she said those words he slumped his head on her chest.

"You truly know what to say." Yuhi mumbled. "The truth was I left the organisation because I started to see this. The amount of people who wanted to put me in the same position as that guy appeared. I didn't want you to get dragged into that mess."

Now that she thought about it, there was a time where loads of strange people started to look for Yuhi at the base. Back then she made a joke that he was starting his own cult or something but to think it was this serious..

Sumire gently ran her fingers through his hair and spoke softly. "I wish you told me."

"Would you have dropped your cold beauty act then?"

"Quit trying to slip in compliments."

Despite how casually he said it Sumire noticed that beauty comment. Yuhi only laughed and she sighed. What is it with this person?

"What I told you just now, doesn't it remind you of me?"

"Sumire." Yuhi said sharply. "Please don't say-"

She shook her head. She cannot run away from this.

"I have been thinking about it for some time since I started to use Sano. From what he told me the enemy leader seems to be very fond of me. I thought long and hard what this guy wants with me, and then I recalled Akishima. That guy before he escaped he told me 'One day you will see things the way I do, no you already are starting to see them. We will cross paths again.' It seems unconsciously I am becoming more like the man you hate. I was willing to abandon everything and live a life of solitude."

But before she did that she wanted to meet with Yuhi one last time and confirm things. It was her original plan to leave after she confirmed everything. But she ended up staying this long.

'Now I do not want to leave.'

"If I did do that, then there is no doubt we would have crossed paths as enemies one day. What the Black alice organisation wants from me, what that man does is not something pleasant. They want to bring out the inner darkness in my heart, they want to see how much damage my abilities can cause. They want me to cause harm."

She thought long and hard about it. If she thought about their movements so far, the damage they have mainly inflicted is emotional and mental damage. Those people have not hurt her directly not even once.

Yuhi raised his face from her chest and grabbed hold of her shoulders. "Is that what you truly want?"

"I wonder myself. I told you already these days I am very happy being with you, you have given me enough happiness to last a lifetime. I could leave and be content with the memories we have made so far. But after I started to get serious about singing again I realized that I still have so many more things I want to achieve with you. No, I still have to fulfill that promise I made you when I met you as Ange. I want to sing together, no I want us to reach greater heights together."

If it is with this person then she can achieve something that she didn't before. Her thoughts broke off when Yuhi tugged on her hand and soon she was resting her face on his chest as they laid down on the couch. It was a fairly small couch, if Yuhi was not holding onto her she would surely fall off.

"I think we should go to the room."

"Mmm, I know you prefer the bed but this is good too."

Her eyes twitched annoyed at his words. This guy, his level of shamelessness increases as each day goes by. Although it was partly her fault, at the start of their relationship she allowed him to get away with a lot of things.

Still she watched Yuhi close his eyes. He must be exhausted, there is no doubt he pushed himself to stay awake when he should be resting. His wounds must still hurt.

Sumire extended her hand out and caressed his cheek. A content sigh passed his lips. "Sumire, keep doing that."

"Yes, I will."

After a few minutes she watched as Yuhi fell into a deep slumber. The moment he did, she drew back from his arms and sat up. She looked at him for a few extra seconds before she headed out of the room. The moment she arrived outside a cold gust of wind hit her face but she didn't mind it.

"Is he fast asleep now?"

Sumire sighed deeply. "You truly have a bad habit Eli."

A man with dark hair wearing his usual lab coat stepped out of his hiding spot. He wore his usual signature smile on his face.

"Did you tell him that you have been receiving death threats?"

"I intended to, but I didn't think something like that happened to him." Sumire trailed off. "There is no doubt that you knew."

"Of course."

Only this guy can say that with his casual smile and get away with it. If it was another person she would have hit them by now.

"One or two death threats would be fine, but-" Eli pulled out a black box. "You received another box full today."

"Is it the usual? A black card covered in blood?"

"I looked around all the shops in Tokyo and nobody makes cards like these. Of course it is custom made. At the very least this person is putting in some effort. Their hate for you must be quite strong." Eli beamed.

This guy is so weird, why does something like that make him happy?

"Other than the threats, has there been anything else?"

"Nothing noteworthy. Although I am starting to see more suspicious people in town, those people have not done anything." Eli trailed off. "But it seems they are keeping a close eye on your concert with Takahashi Yumi. I wonder what they are hoping to see?"

Her live concert huh? Are they going to pull the same stunt they did last time? Sumire shook her head. Those people aren't that stupid. The whole attack towards Yuhi was probably only to frighten her, they wouldn't have killed him.

But it still bothers her. Why are they trying to scare her now? Could it be they don't want her to have the concert? It was a far fetched theory but it seems to be the one that makes the most sense right now.
