Eternal Melody

Chapter 537 - Soujiro And Yuhi Part 2



It is precisely because she came back. That he began to suspect his brother in the first place. Although he had been reluctant to take action about it at first. A part of him already knew.

His eldest brother Althos connection to the Black alice organisation, and his frequent meetings with the lady of the Nagawa family. It was the main reason why he started to investigate them.

"I see, and what you spoke about with her that time surely isn\'t a lie is it?"

"Do you really not mind it ?"Soujiro asked. "Because even I find myself troubled about this situation. I understand that right now she is choosing to remain with you and the other people whom she deems important. She has made that choice, so nobody has the right to intervene and say she is wrong. However that does not make that okay. Since you were there that time surely you understand what I\'m saying."

Sumire has made this decision to continue with her activities in the delinquent world, to continue involving herself in danger.

"For someone like her who has never had any one to love before. And just when she was about to experience love that accident happened. If those reports are true then she can never have a peaceful life with the man she loves."

It was something he discovered when the head of Hyou4 reached out to him and explained Sumire\'s situation. His family being a long standing traditional family, it was only normal for them to hold records that modern day libraries do not have. It was among those records where he discovered that Sumire\'s ancestors, to be exact she is the reincarnation of somebody from the past.

\'It all sounded like a fairytale when I heard it. But after researching for several months I concluded why.\'

Sumire\'s blood is special, and that is why that man has taken an unusual interest in her.

"She cannot be together with the man she loves without sacrificing a lot. Such a burden for a young girl like herself, we cannot allow her to shoulder it by herself."

That\'s right, he understood it a long time ago. That even if it wasn\'t Terashima, someone would come and sweep the girl away right under his nose.

Soujiro continues. "The two of you are together now and I understand it better than anyone, how much she cares about you and that\'s why I am worried. When the time comes….it will break her in more ways then one when she has to truly make a choice."

By that time, this charade would be over and he would be no more than a bystander. However, just for a little while longer. If it is for awhile longer please allow him to play a key role in her life.

"I can\'t say it doesn\'t bother me because it really does. Even now when she\'s singing and shining so brightly on stage, I understand that it\'s because of Mamoru and not me. That bothers me, yes it does. But more than anything it\'s best if she\'s happy."

\'A part of me can sympathise with Terashima, no I can relate to that. Those are the same thoughts I have towards the relationship Sumire has with him.\'

"As an idol she holds herself back quite a bit and I believe it\'s because she knows that it will show. Her feelings for Mamoru if she gets serious. However I don\'t want her holding herself back anymore because she has already been suppressing herself for such a long time. Even if I cannot completely have her heart."

Perhaps he has changed a little.

"Terashima, when did you start falling in love with Sumire?"

At that comment the black hair boy began to choke on the cigarette.

"You know what I mean by that -- Terashima are you alright? I see the look of death appearing on your face."

Soujiro passed him a drink and Terashima calmed down.

"That was close, on the other side my old man and Jae had been beckoning to me with a nice big smile."

"My apologies, I didn\'t think it would upset you that much."

"Why did you ask all of a sudden? Unless you\'re falling for someone who isn\'t Sumire?"

Soujiro could not miss Terashima\'s hopeful tone. \'He will not get rid of me that easily. Although I do not intend to compete for her love, he does not want Terashima to underestimate him.\'

"No it\'s different. It\'s just that I\'ve noticed that there is someone who is always struggling with love. She is always seeking happiness more then others, and has a lot of experience too. But her luck with men has never been good to begin with and her relationships with them don\'t last long. It\'s unfair, right? Even though I feel unpleasant that a young man who is in love with a young lady is on the verge of getting arrested."

Yuhi\'s eyes twitch in annoyance. "Oi who are you referring to there?"

Soujiro ignores that comment and continues. "Right now her partner is not good either. He\'s like the kind of guy who lies and neglects her. Perhaps there\'s a reason for it."

"Somehow I have been taking it lightly. But I have a bad feeling about this guy. Sometimes it irritates me too. even though she\'s not a bad girl. Somehow it\'s frustrating. Just a man that understands that girl and takes better care of her would be enough. Although it would be ideal if she chooses a man that can give her real happiness."

Suddenly the black hair boy tosses a disk in his hands. "Take this. She told me not to show you but since you\'ve become kind enough to understand others then i\'m sure it\'s alright now."

"You are one to talk."

"Haha really?" Soujiro watched Terashima light another cigarette. "You can go ahead and do something about it. Though you may think it\'s awkward due to your past relationship, I can see you two being good friends now. But you ought to do something since I know I can\'t. Anyway I\'ve already got my hands full, being devoted to a young girl for quite a while now."

He watches as a gentle expression crawls onto Terashima\'s face.

"I wonder when I started to fall for that girl.…Yuhi trails off as though he was thinking about it. "It was when I let my guard down for a moment. Since then I can\'t even resist well enough. I have let myself fall completely for her and she has played with my emotions. Because of that I can\'t help but feel happy. Maybe I was already too late. If I\'m separated from her I won\'t be able to live.. It\'s like an addiction."
