Eternal Melody

YUHI

Her reaction, thinking of her lovely coloured cheeks Yuhi felt his body heat up. How can he get aroused in a situation like this? Truly, that girl is the only one who can get any type of emotion out of him right now. 

'After this short break I will definitely return to Tokyo, and hopefully by that time Sumire has returned to.'

Renna informed him that Lucifer intended to return Sumire. He was surprised but it made sense considering how he never intended to take her in the first place. Lucifer will return her, that's good. But, as much as he wants to see Sumire. Yuhi is afraid of the conversation they no doubt need to have.

'I know Lucifer touched you and-' Yuhi shakes his head. That's probably not the best topic to start with. No doubt it's high on the priority list. If he tells her that he didn't mind, Sumire would certainly think it's because he doesn't love her anymore.

It's not that he doesn't mind. He is burning with anger just thinking about it. Renna's brief description of the two kissing on an altar drove him mad. Yuhi lays down on the bed.

'I need to leave before the others return.' 

It would be harder to leave when Kou and the others return. Yuhi puts his earphones on and puts on some of Sumire's unreleased songs. That girl writes far too many songs. When he asked about this one, she winked at him and said 'a girl has to have some secrets.'

"Raining: we're under an umbrella during a rain shower on a summer afternoon

Kissing: I softly kiss your wet cheeks

I'm still longing for that season

Miss you: the sceneries pass by outside the window

Breezing: I saw a rainbow, but it seemed like it'd immediately disappear-

So I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow

With my mind somewhere else, I spend my days lost in thought

Nothing, but you're a part of me." 

Yuhi paused when he listened to the lyrics and he exhales deeply. Of course she doesn't want to release this song to the general public. It reveals too much of who she is. But, she is okay with him listening to it.

'I had already given you everything.' Recalling her words from the letter, his gaze softens and he sighs. Perhaps a part of him already understood how deep her feelings for him were.

SUMIRE

Sumire opens her eyes and the first thing she sees is a familiar tree in the center of the room. She exhales deeply. How did she end up here? 

Perhaps Lucifer sensed her hesitation during the ceremony, since he quickly took her away after the ceremony ended. The last thing she remembered was Lucifer kissing her, and a bright light in his palm.

'He said he would return my memories to me during the ceremony. But, he ended up doing it afterwards. Maybe he understood that if he returned them at that moment I would have backed down.'

She closed her eyes and laughed weakly. Even without Lucifer returning her memories. It seems in this place, she remembers everything. 

'You really are selfish aren't you Lucif-Lex.' In this place she has her memories back. The past two months as Lucifer's wife, has certainly been an interesting experience. She doesn't hate him for tricking her, she can't. Especially now that she knows who he truly is. However, even with no memories. It seems she will always find herself back to Yuhi-san.

Yuhi-san who she will be having words with. Renna, Kusabe Renna. Soujiro sent her a picture of the personal guard he was going to send over. For her to become her ladies maid, there is no doubt Yuhi was the one who sent her. 

That fool, how could he allow her to stay with Lucifer? But more importantly. How much pain has he been in the past two months knowing that she was in another man's arms? He must be hurt. She needs to talk to him as soon as possible. However, she needs to find out how she ended up here. 

Sumire half expected to see the guardian that guards the tree, however instead there was someone else standing by the tree.

A woman wearing a white coloured off shoulder dress with blue flower patterns. But, what stood out to her was the woman's eyes. The same shade of purple as hers.

Sumire makes her way over and the woman- her past self turned around. "Are you Norah?"

Norah laughs. "I thought I would be the one summoning you, but you're really bold."

"Well, Lucifer- I mean Lex was the one who knocked me out. So, I think he is the odd one."

Kissing her and then knocking her out? That guy is even worst than Yuhi-san when it comes to romance. Then again, if she thinks about the start of their courtship in this life. Lucifer's methods have certainly been unusual. How on earth was she supposed to get from his actions that he liked her?

Sumire saw tears in the girls eyes as she said Lucifer's name. 

"I-is he well? Is he healthy?" Norah asked.

She slowly nodded her head. "As healthy as someone who is cursed can be." Sumire didn't mean to be so blunt. But, Lucifer's curse has certainly gotten a lot worse.

Norah looked worried so Sumire added. "But, he has been drinking from me. So, I suppose the curse is contained for now."

At those words a relieved sigh escaped Norah's lips. "I'm glad he has been drinking. Even after he transferred some of the curse to me. He still treated me like I was still normal." Norah laughed. "I suppose that's another thing I love about him."

This person is her, 'I can see the similarities. They both make that type of face when it concerns the one they love.'

"Lex, he must be really handsome in this life too?" Norah asked with flushed cheeks. "I mean, it is him. Have you slept with him?"

Sumire slowly nodded and Norah clasped her hands. "You have to tell me. How large is he now?"

Sumire felt her cheeks colouring at those words immediately understanding what she was referring to. H-how can she be so shameless?
