Eternal Melody

Chapter 1068 Tokyo Illusion Part 6

YUHI

"I understand. But, first a bath."

"Do I stink?"

Yuhi laughed. "No, you smell like flowers. But, I want to take a bath with you."

Sumire laughed. "Then, okay."

He kissed her lips lightly again before carrying her to the bathroom. Before she came he already planned on taking a bath, so the water was already warm. He settled her onto the ground and Sumire pouted.

"Yuhi, you're not following the script."

"What script?"

"The one where you aggressively dump me in the tub, and tear my clothes off."

Yuhi exhaled deeply. "Alright you, you've been out of control recently." He trailed off seeing her innocent looking eyes. "I'm not destroying your clothes, you look good in them."

Sumire blinked before laughing. "Then, help me take it off?"

Yuhi nodded and slowly helped Sumire remove her clothing. He took his time, to appreciate each layer of skin he was seeing after the removal of her clothes. Once she only had her underwear on, Yuhi paused to really look at her.

Unlike two months ago, there was colour in her cheeks and muscle through her legs.

He noticed it when she was hugging him tightly. But, she lost a lot of weight. Later on, Yuhi pressed Hino for answers. How could she have gotten into such a state with Hino there?

'I tried Yuhi, to have meals with her when I could and she did eat. But, she would throw up the contents later at night. So, it didn't do much good. She missed you so much.'

Yuhi frowned at the memory and scanned her up and down properly. She looks fine now. He made sure she has been eating properly, and rested well in his arms. Still, he can't help but worry.

Is she just faking that smile on her face? What about those nightmares she keeps having? 'I ought to speak with Mashima in private, he ought to have more of an insight on the situation.'

Sumire covered her face with her hands and Yuhi blinked before laughing. That's what she is hiding?

Yuhi slowly begins to remove his own clothes, and he sees Sumire peeking through her fingers.

He knew Sumire liked what she was seeing, since she even gave a small nod of approval. The way she looked at him like she would devour him just with her eyes alone.

"Say my name." Yuhi growled.

"Yuhi, Yuhi."

Gods, what is she? Why does hearing her say his name stir him up? Why? Sometimes he finds it hard to believe that Sumire is here, with him. Not only with him, but doing this - having her not only in his arms. But doing such inappropriate things.

Sumire ran her fingers through his hair. "Mm, I like it when you're passionate."

She does huh?

"Yuhi." Sumire said softly. "I really, really love you."

This is another thing that has changed. Sumire often says the words 'love' before whenever she said it, she would look visibly uncomfortable. But now, seeing her say she loves him with those bright eyes.

He slumped his face on her neck and mumbled. "Stop seducing me."

"I'm not even doing anything."

"You are, with your words and your eyes."

Sumire rolled her eyes. "I do think you are too easily seduced."

"It's because you're seducing."

"You're so helpless. How did you survive without me?"

"Well." Yuhi chuckled. "I used my imagination a lot. I had very dirty dreams."

"Can I see them?"

Yuhi blinked and then a knowing ah escaped his lips. "You learned about images, and memories being sent down when you drink blood?"

Sumire nodded and blushed. "Uh, Toh-when I was drinking his blood. He often sent some images down."

He frowned seeing her reaction. "What kind of images?"

"A-about when we-were together."

Yuhi didn't need any more details than that.

He is conflicted.

'I owe Mashima for keeping her fed and safe. But, it still bothers me.' It bothers him knowing that she reacts like this with another guy.
