Eternal Melody

YUHI

He has been doing his best to avoid Cassie as much as possible. But, he will need her for this. After all he can't just randomly call Shizune Miya. If Shizune is the one that helped Sumire with that shield, then did Shizune know where Sumire was this entire time? No, that doesn't add up. Considering how it was her who threatened the head of HYOU4 about prioritising the search for Sumire's safety.

Even if Shizune didn't do that, Reishi would have prioritised Sumire's safety anyway. Shizune is certainly new to the underworld. But her stubbornness reminds him of Sumire, so she will probably do well. 

There are three mind users in their circle Hino, Mashima and Renna. Mind users are just as rare as shield ones, so to have three so close by means their side has an advantage. Now with the addition of Shizune Miya, their chances of surviving against the Black alice organisation has increased.

"Oh, they just exchanged vows."

Yuhi flinched. "You can be really brutal you know?"

"I'm just giving you a live report. Ah, that's quite the kiss. Look at the way their tongues are mixing together. Oh, the Lord is bold he is touching her breasts too and her hands are on her thighs. I wonder if they will end up doing it here."

Even without Renna tampering with his memories. It wasn't hard for him to picture the scene, and that disgusted him even more. 

"Enough." Yuhi snapped. "I get it, I'm being a huge fool. But, it's like what I said isn't it? It's a blood bound ceremony, not a wedding one."

Renna sighs. "Yes. Most people won't know the difference so everyone will see this as a wedding ceremony. But if they ever look back on it and watch the video tapes, they will realize Lucifer is simply sealing the blood bond since they have already consummated the bond."

Yuhi felt a sharp pain in his heart hearing the words consummate. It's not like he didn't know. Renna informed him from the moment it started happening. When he first learned the truth, the bond was screaming at him to claim Sumire back. To get his woman, his soulmate back. 

It took all his willpower to suppress that voice, and in the end he resorted to using a sedative to knock himself out. He repeated that procedure every night, in order to get any sleep, 

"I apologize for being so direct." Renna suddenly said. "I know this is harder for you than you let out."

Yuhi laughed weakly. "It's fine, I do get why you're being blunt with me. Makoto probably told you to lecture me whenever you could."

"The master cares about you in his own way and quote in his words. 'Terashima has spent this entire time focusing on helping Sumire get better, at the expense of his own mental health.'"

Yuhi sighs. "I have it under control despite what you all think. Besides, what is important right now is Sumire. Can you make sure your closeby when Lucifer returns Sumire's memories?"

"Very well, I must go now but Yuhi-san?"

"Yes?"

"When Sumire-san finally regains her memories. I think you two should sit down and have a long talk."

Renna quickly ended the call before he could say anymore. Yuhi sighs deeply. He knew Renna had more to say but the girl was being considerate. It's not like he doesn't understand her concern. Contrary to what he has been telling everyone, he isn't okay. He hasn't been for a long time.

But, when he saw how much Sumire was suffering. How could he possibly selfishly tell her his problems, insecurities and fears when hers were a lot worse? Sumire will definitely scold him when they eventually talk.

He can hear what she will say, after all in their past lives together. They had a similar conversation. By now, he has no doubt that Sumire has regained her memories regarding their past lives together. If that's the case, they ought to start with that conversation. 

Yuhi exits the balcony and makes his way to Takeyama's room. He needs a break from his activities. There is something he needs to look into, but with his busy schedule it is difficult to do so. 

When he arrives in front of Takeyama's room door. He hears the sounds of grunts, pants and slamming against a wall.

Yuhi exhaled deeply as he knocked on the door. He didn't wait for Takeyama to answer the door. When he stepped inside, he finds Takayama entangled in the arms of a woman with blonde hair. The woman immediately noticed him.

"Ooh is that Terashima Yuhi? Is he joining in after all?"

Takeyama frowns and moves towards the woman, as he playfully bites the woman's ear. "No, he's boring, besides, didn't you liked me better?"

 ...

It takes some time before Takeyama finally manages to persuade the woman to leave.

"You know, you don't have to do this for me. I can just push them away." Yuhi spoke up.

Yes, the reason that blonde haired woman was in Takeyama's arms in the first place was because of him.

Takeyama rolls his eyes. "They'd just keep coming back. Its better for one of us to distract them, and I'm the only guy around here not head over heels for a girl called Sumire."

Yuhi sighs. "Do you have to remind me that my teammates have feelings for my wife?"

"She isn't your wife yet."

'She really isn't and now that she has gone through that ceremony. It will be very difficult for them to hold a wedding ceremony. Sumire definitely wouldn't want to be bonded to two people.'

"Yet."

Takeyama sighs deeply. "You really are popular though. That's what, the eleventh woman this week who has come here for you?"

"Fourteen actually."

"Your keeping count?" Takeyama said surprised.

"Remembering their faces too, just in case they try to cause problems for Sumire."

"I don't think you need to worry. These women only want someone to warm their beds at night."

Yuhi sighs deeply. "It's not like I don't understand that." Because he did. When he slept with loads of women to forget about Sumire. He often chose the ones who are lonely. Had it been the past, he would have welcomed those women into his bed without hesitation.
