Eternal Melody



SUMIRE

Now that she thought about, there was a time where Toh taught her to dance didn't he? A time where Toh taught her how to cook, to sew, to be brave. Toh has given her so much, but what has she given him? 

"You know, beautiful, I have to say. I didn't think this through."

Sumire blinked and realized how he was nervously holding onto her. The dance for this first song ensured that the pairs ended up dancing very closely. So, it makes sense that there are other couples on the dance floor right now.

She giggled. "I don't mind."

'I have always felt so safe in Toh's arms, from the very first day we met.'

Toh exhaled deeply. "I know you don't beautiful, but what about-" 

"It's not like your kissing me."

Toh's lips curve to a smirk. "I don't know about that beautiful. There is a part in this dance where I could kiss you."

Sumire tilted her head innocently. "Will you?"

"That does depend on the mood." Toh trailed off and squeezed her hand. "It's true I didn't think this through, because I judged the Lord's mood the moment I saw him."

"He does seem to be quite mad. Also, his pupils almost look black."

Toh blinked. "Is that-"

Sumire nodded. "It's usually a sign when his beast side takes over." She trailed off. "If he danced with me now, he would have probably drank my blood in front of all these people."

"Certainly, and revealing the existence of hanyou's in a place like this isn't a good idea."

"Revealing the existence huh?" Sumire mumbled.

"What's on your mind beautiful?"

She exhales deeply. She really does feel like a sinful woman. How can she fall in love with two people at the same time? Then again, it doesn't help that she was still in love with Yuhi-san when she started dating Toh. 

'Beautiful, what are you thinking?'

'About the date I should stay over. I have been busy, but I can make time you know?'

'What if I refuse you entry?'

'That doesn't work since I have the keys.'

'And if I change everything?'

Toh exhaled deeply and pulled her closer to him. "I'll kiss you right here if you keep misbehaving."

"Then kiss me, I'm not afraid."

Toh looked really troubled at her words and she knew she was making it hard for him. But, he has been withering away without her. She can't let this continue. Her thoughts break off when Toh suddenly leaned forward and she felt her heart beat increase.

If the others weren't paying attention to them, they were now. 

Sumire closed her eyes, waiting for the familiar sensation on her lips but it never happened. Even though she felt how close his lips were to hers, instead she felt something soft on her forehead.

She opened her eyes. "I have taken too much of your time already, the leading star of this event has other dances."

"I-"

"Thank you for the first dance."

Before she could say another word, Toh is already walking away. She felt tears well up in her eyes. It would be bad if she starts crying here, so many people are watching her every move. Everyone is- she has to stay strong. Her thoughts break off when someone wrapped their cloak around her head, shielding her. 

It was Hino.

"Yuhi's waiting for you. Go."

Sumire nodded gratefully as she exited the hall quickly. The moment she did she was pulled into a familiar pair of arms. She didn't need to look up to know who it was. The tears she had been holding back all came spilling.

Yuhi wrapped his arms around her waist and mumbled sweet words. But all she could think about was Toh's lonely back as he walked away.

Is there truly nothing she can do for him right now?
