Eternal Melody

Why would such a thing cross her mind? Sumire never thought of love before. To be accurate, she didn't believe in it. Look at her parents; they got married due to an arranged marriage. They got married due to convenience. It's not like they married each other because of their feelings. Even if feelings did blossom along the way, it still started strangely. After her kidnapping incident, the relationship between the two seemed strange.

"Yes, I think so." A familiar voice said, lifting her to her feet.

The owner of the voice was none other than her boyfriend, Terashima Yuhi. Sumire rolled her eyes. "No touching."

Yuhi whined and kissed her neck. "We should just show."

Sumire knew what he meant. Just show the other students. She may be brave and bolder now. But doing something like that is still out of her league.

"Yuhi." She laughed softly when she realized what he was doing. "Okay, quit it."

"Mm no, smell nice."

Shin coughed. "You two--"

"Oh, you were still here, Shin?" This time it came from her and not Yuhi.

"Seriously, you quit teasing," Yuhi mumbled as he nuzzled his face against her forehead.

"I found the location of one of the other hideouts," Shin said.

She glanced over then. "Did you report it to your boss yet?"

By boss, she meant the SF leader. Sumire has yet to meet him, but she already got terrible vibes. She doesn't understand exactly what it is, but the man seemed even more ruthless than her from what Shin told her so far.

"No."

"Hm okay."

Shin raised his eyebrow. "You don't seem interested today."

"Uh how can I? Dont you see my current predicament?" Yuhi had his hands all over her, and he kept kissing her cheek and neck. He was acting like a huge lion who caught its prey.

"Well, I guess as your teacher, I should stop him but as your mutual friend. I will walk away."

Shouldn't it be the other way around? But she didn't get a chance to say that since he walked off, leaving her with the huge lion.

Yuhi turned her around and kissed her deeply.

"Pretty, your beautiful Sumire."

"Alright, alright, I get that but you—" She stopped when she realized something. "Stupid, not here." His hands were touching her in places he shouldn't. The strange thing was that she liked it.

"When?"

"Tonight but just a bit." She knew what he wanted; of course, she did. After all, she wanted it too.

Yuhi nodded and pulled away. He picked up the documents Shin left on the table and unsealed the envelope.

"Huh, so there was something weird about that place."

"Weird?" Sumire quickly made her way over. When she saw the photos Yuhi was holding up, she blinked.

"Isn't this club—"

"The one where I met you again? Yeah." Yuhi nodded.

So that place was actually one of the hideouts? A coincidence? No, it cant be. She strolled into a random bar, so she found it hard to believe that it was planned. But what were the chances of Yuhi being there too? How did he know she was there? There is something wrong here.

"By the way, Yuhi, how did you get into that place?"

"I have ID."

She almost forgot that he was older than her, so he does not need a fake ID. Whenever they are together, and they end up talking about their mutual hobbies, she thinks they are the same age.

"Yours was fake, right?"

Sumire nodded and noticed an odd expression on his face. "What's wrong?"

"The security check for that place is good. So I find it strange that you could enter that place so easily." He trailed off and looked her up and down. "Maybe that ID check was just for show, and they use something else to verify."

Something else? Sumire thought for a moment, and then it came to her. The strange thing at the entrance. It looked like a scanner at the door.

Yuhi kept frowning. "I see." He mumbled. "No wonder."

"Yuhi?"

Is he thinking the same thing like her?

"The Queen will never stop running." Yuhi balled his fists. "So it was planned?"

".."

"That night, they were supposed to trap you, and you would end up saving everyone. They wanted you to demonstrate your power. But I took you away before that happened."

"So, they will cause several incidents to drag me out until I use my ability?"

Yuhi nodded.

"The thing is Yuhi. I know I have something, but I haven't been able to use it for a while." Sumire glanced down at her stomach. "I think it was actually around the time I got pregnant."

She felt something blocking her power.

Yuhi sighed. "Go see Atsuro."

"But—"

"Sumire," Yuhi said sharply. "Right now isn't the time to be stubborn. If you don't go and see him, I will drag you there."

"Why do I have to?"

"You know the answer to that. Atsuro is a doctor, he may be an underground doctor, but at least he knows your condition well."

"There is another doctor that knows about my powers."

Yuhi slammed his hand against the wall startling her. "You want to rely on Sano than Atsuro?"

"I really don't want to see him." She mumbled. She would rather suck it up and ask Sano a favor than go to Atsuro.

Sensing his anger, she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Yuhi." She said softly. "Please, you know I can't meet him."

Sumire does not trust herself. What if she says something hurtful again? What if this time he doesn't forgive her? To her surprise, Yuhi wrapped his arms around her waist and caressed her hair. She could still feel his anger, and yet he was trying to console her.

"Yuhi." She mumbled against his neck. "You can do something else to me. Just please don't let me go to Atsuro."

At that comment, she heard him sigh deeply. Yuhi placed her down on the couch.

"Do you think I am that cruel?"

Sumire shook her head. "I know you will listen to me."

"The reason why I want Atsuro to have a look despite what happened between you two is I don't trust Sano. I don't think he is innocent."

Sumire understood that mindset very well. It is not surprising for him to think like that. She also thinks the same as him. But Sumire recalled the words he said in the hospital that day. He seemed desperate about her choosing him. Why is that? There must be something wrong.
