Eternal Melody

Yuhi cursed. If she uses that against him, then he can\'t say no. "Make it quick."

Yuhi however, noticed that she did not take her phone camera out. "What are you doing?"

"I took a picture with my heart\'s lens, so it\'s okay now!"

Hearts lens.. What the heck is she? Is she human? He\'s pretty sure that there can be no human that\'s this cute in existence.

"Yuhi?"

He walks over to a nearby vendor and buys something before returning to her. "For me?" he nodded, and she smiles brightly, "Thankies, Yuhi. "

"You\'re easy to please, huh?"

"Since I\'m hungry, do you not want some Yuhi?" He doesn\'t respond and hears her continue to hum happily. Really, she knows how to mess up his rhythm.

"Oops, I got cream on my hand."

Yuhi reaches over and licks the cream of causing her cheeks to turn a rosy red, as he gently cups her cheek before pressing their lips against each other. He nibbled and sucked on her tongue, the flavor of the cream tasted sweeter than he thought.

"That was a nice feast," he mumbles once their lips parted from each other.

"Dummy... But I liked it so."

Yuhi scratched his hair awkwardly. Does she like kissing? He should make a note of that. He relaxed when he felt her rest her head on his shoulders. "You okay? You seem stressed recently." Yuhi muttered.

"Well, all of this stuff is quite overwhelming. I never saw humanity as normal, but even then, I did not think there were this many secrets in the shadows. Tell me, Yuhi-san, is what do you think their aim is?"

"Their aim?"

"Forcing humans to evolve and gain supernatural abilities?"

Yuhi blinked when he heard that simple explanation from her. She understood it right away? She only investigated recently. How come it is like this now?

"You know Yuhi. I don\'t think it is right to force people to do anything. But how many people think that way? Others always assume that their opinion is correct; they do not think to listen to others. When others make their mind up, it is difficult to change their minds. Even if there is evidence to support a claim that goes against their belief, they will not change their mind."

"Don\'t concern yourself over it too much, Sumire. I know it is difficult for you to watch this kind of thing, but--" His sentence fell short when she lifted her head from his shoulder and stood up.

She walked over to a nearby tree and placed her hand in the center. "You know whenever I see large trees like this. I wish I could communicate with nature."

"Communicate with nature?"

Sumire laughed. "Yes, it would be nice." She trailed off. I can hear the sound of the wind. Its a comforting and peaceful sound. Recently there\'s been so many natural sounds in this land. Maybe its because no new incidence has happened since last time. But the beauty of the land stands out recently. This place is completely different from Star Town, but I am growing to like it.

"Your right, it reminds me of home."

"A huh. It\'s really beautiful."

Yuhi wanted to tell her that she is beautiful too, but he saw the flash of pain in her eyes. He wonders if he can get rid of the pain in her eyes? Is it possible for him to make her happy?

The current Sumire is still in so much pain. She is holding back her feelings and going through so much inside.

Yuhi said nothing but grabbed hold of her hand. All he can do is hold her like this.

Thinking it through, perhaps he was the one who sought the warmth of another person. Back then, he spent endless days hunting down individuals with not a single care in the world. There was nothing for him to do and so the only thing he could do was hunt. Even long before he hq found him, he wandered endlessly by himself. Hunting and fighting - that stream of red endlessly staining his hands. But never once had it been his own.

He was similar to that of a monster, no matter how many times he hunted down individuals and fought, he would not get tired. When Aki had discovered his abilities, Yuhi hesitated to accept. He wasn\'t the kind of person who liked being bound by rules and a single leader, after all.

Whenever he was around her, he always felt a sense of ease. All the troubling thoughts he ha would dissolve in one go. They would often spend a lot of time with each other for a long time. Discussing music solely, but even so, he felt as though the connection he has with her was still stronger than the rest.

Yuhis\' gaze fell on the person in his arms and blinked. When did she get here? He paused when he saw the tears in her eyes. He brushed his fingers against her eyelids, wiping her tears, but she woke up.

"Yuhi?"

"Mm, what\'s wrong? Nightmare?"

Sumire buried her face in his arms, and he blinked. She is acting a bit weird today. No, it was the same thing yesterday too. After they got back, she did not talk much. Yuhi lifted her face up and kissed her forehead, nose, and eyelids. "Don\'t cry anymore, Sumire. I am here for you."

Even if the world abandons her, he will stay by her side no matter what.
