Chapter 1095 Tokyo Illusion Part 33
YUHI
Sumire always talks about how she isn't a good person. But how can that be? The world has been terrible to her, but instead of taking revenge, she continues to help people. She continues trying to understand them even though she doesn't have to. There are some people who are beyond understanding after all. People who hate others for no reason.
"When we met in the sixth life, you were frantically searching for Lucifer. You even cried when you realized the bond between you two was broken, those tears weren't a lie." Yuhi pointed out.
Her tears and attachment to Lucifer were too real. When she was explaining the story with him and Mashima the other day. Yuhi already knew that she fell for Lennon. If so, her reaction in the sixth and seventh life doesn't make sense.
"I think the sword Alex used to stab me contained a spell for me to lose my memories. So, in the sixth life. He was expecting me to return to the Norah he knew, before my feelings changed. The bond between us was very weak, and I think Alex stabbing me lead to it being in that terrible state."
Yuhi nodded. "You can't physically harm your soul bonded partner. If you do, it's usually with grave consequences."
That's why there aren't too many tales of soul bond partners separating. However there are a few frightening stories of soul bond partners using other means?to harm their loved ones.
"Each time he harmed you, the bond was slowly breaking." Yuhi explained.
Sumire closed her eyes. "I felt it, the bond slowly slipping away and even though I noticed. I didn't stop it, because I also wanted to break free." She laughs weakly. "I really am cruel, I was the reason Alex ended up in that state, and instead of sticking with him to the very end, I strayed?so easily."
Yuhi shakes his head. "I don't think what you did was wrong." He trailed off. "Feelings are like that, they can be fickle and change. No matter how many times you convince yourself that you want to be with that person forever. Circumstances can change things."
He can't blame Sumire's feelings for changing, especially since Lucifer started to behave the way he did.
Triplets huh? Is it a coincidence?
Sumire tilted her head and looked at him. "Hmm, my dear. Are you saying you don't want to be with me forever?"
"Silly girl, that's possible."
Sumire nodded in agreement. "I know, it's because I'm so cute and adorable. Of course you won't find anyone better than me."
This girl, she usually has no confidence in herself. But when it comes to his feelings for her, she is brimming with confidence. Though she isn't immune to feeling insecure, Yuhi recalled what Mashima said regarding her reaction to Satsuki.
"When I was abroad, I met-"
Sumire interrupts him by biting his neck again. Is she hungry? Didn't she feed from Mashima last night? Or maybe they were doing something else? Yuhi tries to shake those thoughts out of his mind and focuses on blocking those emotions. He can't let her misunderstand. He can't allow her to see how much of a mess he has become.
If possible he wants to always look good in front of the woman he loves.
His thoughts break off when Sumire suddenly pulls away and exits the tub.
Yuhi stared at her blankly. "Is the water too cold? I'll warm it up."
Sumire bit her bottom lip and she was clenching her fists. "My dear, what's wrong?"
"What are you talking about?"
"I dismissed it earlier, but you're really blocking me strongly. What are you hiding?"
At those words Yuhi froze and cursed. Damn, he should have controlled himself. It's not uncommon for soul bond partners?to block each other out, they are entitled to have their own space after all. But, since his bond with her in their sixth life. Yuhi has never blocked her out. Now that she has her memories back, she must be in for a huge shock.
"Sumire, it's not like that."
"Just now you were going to tell me something, is it related to that?"
Yuhi blinked surprised, sensing her tone he felt that she knew already and that's why she stopped him from speaking.
"It's not related, but I wanted to discuss it with you since it seemed like you misunderstood about me and Satsuki."
"I know you want to explain, I've been waiting for you to do so. You've had plenty of an opportunity the past few days since speaking to Toh about it."
"Huh? How did you-"
"Toh told me."
Of course Mashima did. Mashima wasn't kidding when he said he never hides anything from Sumire. If he wasn't uneasy before, he was definitely uneasy now. Mashima is too good. Mashima is everything Sumire needs. Everything he wanted to become for her. Mashima doesn't even have to put in the effort since he is like that with everyone.
"If he told you, you should know that me and Satsuki are just friends and I only met her a few times. The amount of times I met her, I can count with my fingers."
"I understand not telling me when you got back right away, but it doesn't make sense. Or are you saying that woman is your dirty little secret?"
"That's going too far, she isn't that sort of person-"
Sumire rolled her eyes. "Defending her like that really isn't helping you."
"If we are talking about dirty little secrets, then please enlighten me where you go after you leave our bed every night."
The words had escaped his lips before he even understood what was happening. Yuhi's face colour turns pale realizing how that sounded but it was too late, since Sumire was looking at him like a stranger.
Yuhi too didn't think such words were possible for him. He has never said anything harsh to her. It's true he hasn't been able to control his emotions recently but this?
"Sumire--"
Sumire raised her hand and slapped him, hard.
Yuhi lifted his hand to his now sore cheek. He couldn't understand what just happened. 'She's really angry. I have never seen her act like this with me before.' Mashima is right, they really are a weird couple. How is it possible that they have never fought before?
'One day, those emotions you have both bolted up will explode and you'll end up severely hurting each other.'
