Eternal Melody

How much longer can he hold himself back? If she thinks what they did during Christmas was bad, she still hasn't seen what he can truly do.

"How are the urges recently? You haven't asked for much blood in a while."

"Because of Sano's medicine. I truly wonder what that stuff is."

That's right, Nagawa's medicine. Atsuro told him to swap it out and obtain a sample. But it's not as easy as he thought he would. Sumire keeps it close with her at all times.

His thoughts broke off when Sumire caressed his cheeks. "What about your urges Yuhi-san? You never drink from me. I wonder how you can manage the pain?" She trailed off. "Or, do you have another woman?"

Huh? What is she talking about- before he could say anything, Sumire had him pinned onto the bed.

"Yuhi-san, your mine; you can only belong to me."

Yuhi felt a familiar prick sensation on his neck and realized that Sumire was drinking his blood. The rumors about him and Cas should have disappeared by now. He has not met her since that time in the cafe.

'I almost forgot that she was even around.' It seemed the girl's manager had been giving her low-key jobs, so he hadn't even seen her on TV.

He flinched when Sumire bit him harsher. "It was just a passing thought."

Sumire responded with another harsh bite. This girl is truly the reincarnation of a devil. But since she is so cute, it's hard for him to dislike anything she does. Right now, he can clearly see what he couldn't before.

How much this girl loves him and how much she desires him. 'When I first found out how much she liked me, I was surprised.'

At those words, Sumire lifted her head. "Why were you surprised?"

"Mm. I didn't think it was possible."

"Your so weird, Yuhi-san. I gave you such obvious signs. Sure, I treated you coldly initially, but I was always checking you out."

"By the way, that diary of yours was interesting."

At those words, Sumire's face turned red. "W-well, if you read it, then you should know how oblivious you were being."

It's not like he didn't notice, especially when she picked him up at the mini gym in the headquarters. She would always stand in the doorway for a few minutes staring at his body.

Yuhi felt the girl play with his shirt buttons. "Your too needy."

"Since we are talking about my diary entries, you should know Yuhi-san. This is normal. I have a lot of pent-up feelings."

"If you do, you can unleash it right now."

"It's okay for me to attack you, but you can't attack me?"

"Well, it's different when you do the attacking." Yuhi ran his hands through her back. "Do you want to drink more? You should still consume blood regularly even if you take that medicine."

"Ah." Sumire suddenly seemed shy. "It's just when I drink I can hear your thoughts, Yuhi-san, and your always thinking of me."

Oh, that's right, he didn't consider that. He does have some strange thoughts about her. Yuhi quickly changed their positions, so he was the one on top of her.

Her red-stained cheeks look so lovely.

"Isn't it the same when I drink from you? Hey, what are you thinking?" Yuhi mumbled as he brought his lips to her neck. "Let me see."

Despite her embarrassment, Sumire nodded, and Yuhi didn't hesitate. Quite some time has passed since he last drank her blood like this; it tastes so good.

'If I truly wanted to be serious, I would have taken her blood viciously while we did it.'

Sumire still doesn't understand it the true nature of hanyous. He doesn't know much about vampires. But, the desires hanyous have towards the person they love is twisted and ugly. If he wanted to break her, he could do so easily. Such twisted feelings exist inside him.

How would it feel if he drank from her non-stop? Would he drain all the blood in that petite body?

If she stopped breathing, would it end the madness inside him?

His thoughts broke off, feeling Sumire tighten his hold on his back. Does she not think he is a monster? Why does she respond this way? Can he delude himself into thinking that she doesn't mind him drinking from her until she breaks?

Sumire panted heavily. "Y-Yuhi-san, don't drink too much. The children-"

"I know, but just a bit more," Yuhi mumbled.

He wants to see everything. He wants to know everything about her.

......

Sumire's emotional state isn't stable. It's something he thought he understood already. But when he returned to the room and realized that she wasn't there, he panicked.

Thankfully that panic didn't last long when he received a message from Asuka.

It's amazing, though; how did she manage to move after he drank that much blood from her? That girl truly does inhumane stuff sometimes.

Her emotions, after drinking so much, he saw everything. Did she feel guilty? It's not like she did anything wrong. But she must feel bad that he noticed how much space Mamoru occupies in her heart.

When Asuka re-enters the room, his thoughts break off, and he stands up. "How's Sumire?"

"Sleeping, she has a slight fever. I was worried when you called me to go get her since I was closer. I thought something serious had happened. We spoke for a bit, and she got a lot of things out of her chest; all she needs now is sleep." Asuka said.

"I see."

Asuka sighed deeply. "I could use a grown-up drink."

When you hear the words 'grown-up drink,' usually you'd think of some sort of alcohol. But no, what Asuka offered him was high-class coffee.

"Wow, so fancy."

Asuka smiles as she puts more sugar cubes inside hers.

"Cafe royale, a grown-up drink, right?"

Yuhi takes a sip of the drink.

"Like it?"

"Yeah, it's good," Yuhi admitted taking another sip immediately.

Since he's always surrounded by guys who like alcohol, the few female associates that he has are those type of girls.

His bad reputation, huh? It will be high time before those people take action to destroy the trust he has built so far. Some have yet to truly forgive him for what he did back then, and are only tolerating him to a certain extent now.
