Eternal Melody

"Why do you think so?" Yuhi looked at her seriously.

Did somebody put crazy thoughts in her mind again? He has closely monitored the media since that time, but he cannot be too sure.

"Because unlike me that girl has no flaws. She has no insecurities or anxiety. She will not drag you dow-" Yuhi stopped her from saying anymore as he kissed her.

He did not stop even when she punched and kicked him. It wasn't until she bit his lip did he pull away. This was the first time he kissed her without her permission. He does not like to force her to do anything with him, because he does not want to remind her of Nagawa. But, this time he had to do this.

Sumire sat up and turned around so she was not facing him. Yuhi sighed and wrapped his arms around her. "Don't sulk, you should I understand how I feel when you belittle yourself like that."

"I know Yuhi, but I truly think that way."

"Mm, I understand. But you know for me you are a precious treasure." Yuhi moved the stray hairs from her neck and placed light kisses there. "Sumire your so precious to me. Thank you for telling me what was on your mind, it wasn't easy but you did it."

At those words Sumire turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck as she mumbled. "It's because your so silly. I can tell Yuhi when your very worried about me. I don't want you to feel troubled regarding me for a long time."

"Even if you say that, you're always on my mind. I think about you twenty four seven."

"You fool, think about your work."

"No can do." Yuhi kissed her lightly. "Besides you are my work. I work hard to make you happy, and have you screaming at night."

Sumire's face colour turned red and he laughed. "Are you impressed?"

"Your a hooligan." Sumire mumbled. "But, thank you so much Yuhi."

She is so silly, she doesn't have to thank him this much.

Jupiter Records - Studio 1

The place he decided to visit after Sumire fell asleep again was Jupiter records. Normally entering a rival company isn't easy even if he is a huge star, but it seemed like Atsuro was expecting him and informed people. The receptionist gave him directions and it did not take long before he reached the room Atsuro was in.

He was hunched over and fiddling with his guitar, a few scores in front of him. Atsuro kept grumbling how it doesn't sound right.

This guy is excellent at composing songs, but his songs are always missing something. That something he is missing is most-likely Sumire.

"Atsuro."

"Finally you came to me on your own." Atsuro didn't seem surprised at his arrival.

Yuhi awkwardly shifted into the room. "I think she might be pregnant again, so I--"

"She is."

His eyes widened at the redhead's immediate reply.

"Geez you're still slow after seeing it before? The thing is due to her unusually strong powers as a evolved human. She won't get fat no matter how many weeks go by. Normal people shouldn't notice. But because of this she will experience slightly different symptoms."

Half of Atsuro's explanation went out of one ear to another. Yuhi could not believe what he just heard. Sumire, Sumire has his child?

"My child?"

"Yes idiot.

His and Sumire's? This entire time he has refrained from holding back his emotions regarding Sumire having Mamoru's child. It happened before they got together, so he has no right to comment on it, even if she claims he does.

Due to that child's unnatural situation, she cannot see the kid often. He would occasionally find her spacing out and mumbling the kids name. The kid is important to her, and if possible she would be with him always.

But everytime he saw her that way he felt very lonely and envious. Why? Why was it not his child? Why did she have Mamoru's child first? All of these worries and concerns were stupid.

No they were dangerous. Back then they still didn't know Mamoru was alive. So that child was a great consolidation for her.

He never dreamed that Sumire would have his child after almost a year of dating. He didn't want to get his hopes up when they got together, he knew how she felt towards doing intimate things. So he held himself back, because he did not want to hurt her.

"Wipe that supid smile off your face." Atsuro said irritated.

"R-right, b-but-" Yuhi felt nervous. "I can't believe this, I'm so happy."

Atsuro sighed. "You didn't even touch her that much, how did you do it?"

Yuhi immediately sensed how dangerous this conversation was.

"You know, it's not like I wanted to stay away from her. This past year I kept quiet, because that's what she wanted. However, that's going to change."

"I see."

At those words Atsuro sighed again. He looked troubled. "You convinced her to talk to me?"

"Just earlier."

But she works fast. Then again this person must have been waiting for her.

"You, better not treat me like what Mamoru did."

"Huh?"

"That guy was nice, but he underestimated all the guys who liked her."

"Mamoru isn't--"

"Whether he intend it to be malicious or not, you understand right? He convinced himself that Sumire would only ever like you, because of that he unintentionally underestimated those around him."

"Did you ever tell him that?" Yuhi didn't know how to respond to Atsuro's words.

'I can't refute it.' Unfortunately Atsuro is correct there.

"I told him, who would have thought he would end up in an accident shortly after."

Despite how casually Atsuro said those words, Yuhi sensed the pain in his tone.

'I worry about him.'

Sumire's words remained firm in his mind. So this is what she was talking about.

"So, I'll be making a move on Sumire again. Out of respect of our strange friendship, I won't be pushy like Nagawa and do anything weird."

"I get it." Yuhi trailed off and glanced at the scores. "Since she is willing to talk to you again, maybe you can get her to help you?"

At those words Atsuro looked troubled and he sighed. "I'd rather not, if she saw a score like this, I would receive a scolding." He trailed off. "It's a good thing that you came here." He tossed an envelope towards him.

Yuhi opened it to see several case files. "This?"

"It's a list of important officials that are connected with Sumire's external relatives. All of them were women, and found dead overseas."
