Eternal Melody

Sumire already heard the rumors regarding Terashima Yuhi, she heard every single one. Back when he was a member of the underworld organization, she saw how people treated him with respect. There were many people who disliked him and yet they still treated him well. The main reason for that? Terashima Yuhi is strong physically and even emotionally. He is the type of person who won't break down no matter what happens. Also his talent for solving crimes, he understands the criminals mindset and can solve cases quickly as a result.

Her eyes widened when she saw how quickly he moved from her, one of the men were in the ground in seconds. So fast…

'Say Ki, you've always seen me as the strongest person around. But you know there is somebody stronger than me. That person will protect you.'

She bit her lip when Rus' words echoed in her head.

He was talking about Yuhi, wasn't he?

When she finally snapped out of her trance and accepted that Ru died. She tried to investigate what happened, she thought something was wrong. But it only led to people misunderstanding and pitying her even more. Even if she tried to explain, nobody would listen. Sumire hoped that at least one person would listen to her but it was exhausting. It is amazing how draining it is to have expectations of people.

Thats why the current her does not expect anything from anybody. Others can think what they want and see things from their point of view. She will no longer bother trying to explain things.

Sumire thought this way since he died. But, her gaze fell on Yuhi who was fighting. If it is this person she does not want him to misunderstand. She does not want to keep any secrets from him, she wants him to know everything.

If he learns the truth about her, would he also end up hating her? Would he look at her the same way?

Change is frightening, but if she does not take the first step then she will remain stagnant.

I believe in you Ki.

Sumire struggled to keep her tears in check but she immediately rushed towards where Yuhi was.

"Hey, Hey.."

"I will fight with you." Sumire mumbled.

He raised his eyebrow and suddenly cupped her cheeks. "Can you fight when your crying?"

"Who is crying you jerk."

Yuhi bent down and kissed her eyelids. Her eyes widened at that gentle action of his.

"Well, I guess this is what it means to fight a battle with my wife."

Sumire stepped onto his foot. "Who are you calling your wife? Besides this isnt the first time we fought alongside each other." Or rather what is with him? How could he kiss her like that during this situation. He was even flirting with her earlier.

Yuhi chuckled. "There we go, that's better."

Indeed, this person is stupid. But, she probably never stopped loving him.

Whenever she looks up at the sky, Sumire would automatically search for the moon, almost as though there is a switch. In order for her to find it immediately, it has to continue shining brighter than any star.

'look look, Takahashi Yumi-san, she's really amazing. I want to be like her someday'

In one of the fondest memories of her mother, the brunette could clearly recall her answer. ' I know if it's you Sumire you'll be able to do it. You are my daughter after all'.

What started out as simple admiration, slowly changed. As a princess she was taught to always maintain her appearance and manners. Since she is part of the Ibuki household, that is something she understands all too well.

But she was never interested in any of the lessons they made her take.There were many many lessons, a variety of different lessons. Among them, she ought to have found something she liked. But it was not like that at all.

As a member of her household there was a lot she had to learn the second she was able to stand on her own two feet. She was being tutored and everyday seemed so endless for her. It was all so endless. She perfected everything that was taught at her, yet no matter how well she did. Her mother would never once look her way. And father? Although there were some small moments, he would always be busy and be away on business.

Ah what a solidarity life that was, though she often found comfort in the visits from Nao and Hijiri, those two could not always be around. As someone of her rank too she could associate herself with any regular individuals - well at least that's how it was supposed to be.

Yumi-san, did something about it.

The brunette knew all too well that her parents would not have been convinced for her to enter a normal school regardless of her efforts. But that person didn't hesitate to do something for her. Ah, that was something she noticed from the very start. That person really is so very very kind. It was because of Yumi-senpai, that she could attend that concert and meet Terashima Yuhi.

She has many things she is grateful for and yet has she ever repaid those people.

"By the way." Yuhi said as he sent one of the men flying with a kick. "I was wondering if you would like to grab a bite to eat with me after this."

Sumire rolled her eyes at that comment as she sent a similar attack towards another person. "Is this the right time to be asking me out on a date?"

"There is no time limit to flirting with my love. I can flirt with you constantly."

"Yuhi-san, do you know how creepy that sounds?" Sumire dodges one of the mens punches as she grabs hold of his arm and twists it.

"Creepy?" Yuhi trailed off. "Well if you're interested in that then I could try."

Wait when did she say she was interested in it? Why does this man like to twist her words so much?

"There are no words to capture your beauty love. If something happens to you, I shall join you in the heavens. Whenever we are apart I shall grow wings and fly to your side."

Sumire stared at him utterly speechless. He actually did it? She thought he was joking around. What on earth is wrong with this man? Is he truly smart, or is he actually an idiot. She glanced over at the enemy and noticed that some of them froze.

Amazing Yuhi… he said such cringey things that even the enemy had to stop. Sumire briely made eye contact with him and his lips curve to a smile. Ahh geez, what a helpless guy.

"I guess I could accept your offer. But, let's race."

Yuhi chuckled. "As competitive as ever I see. But I was also thinking the same. So depending on who beats more, the loser will have to do whatever the other person wants."

She rolled her eyes at that childish suggestion. But what is wrong with him acting like a child? They are still high school students. Just because the two of them were made to grow up faster than most people does not mean they have to act like an adult all the time. Though this is most likely not the best time to act childish.
