Eternal Melody

Chapter 861 Glorious Sunshine Part 15



SUMIRE

After Hino left, she just couldn\'t focus. So, she exited the room, to get some fresh air.

That was weird.

Very weird.

Hino has praised her singing before, but this is the first time she is feeling this way because of it. Sumire shakes her head. It\'s true they have gotten a lot closer since Yuhi-san left. But, it\'s not like she loves him, at least not romantically. There is love there, but not romantic one.

Sumire walked over to the vending machines, and was about to slide some coins in. When someone reached over and inserted coins before her, and picked the drink she wanted. She turned to spot Masato.

She laughed softly. "I should have known that you would follow me."

"I\'ve been meaning to get in touch. But since we were coming here anyway, I figured it would wait."

"Are you upset I contacted Mikaze-kun first?" Sumire wondered seeing the complicated look on Masato\'s face.

Masato exhaled deeply. "It\'s not that. It\'s just, I\'ve been worrying about you this entire time and seeing you now. I am bit overwhelmed."

"I am alright. Coming to Tokyo was good for me. Here I have met people I can call family, and Yuhi-san has been treating me very well."

"You do look better than you did before." Masato agreed. "But, you\'re a bit skinny."

"Ah that\'s because-"

Masato finished her sentence for her. "Because Terashima hasn\'t been around?"

She slowly nodded her head. This entire time she has been denying it in front of Hino and the others. However, 

 "Yuhi-san is amazing you know? He has the ability to keep my nightmares at bay. Ah, maybe those arms of his have amazing healing powers."

"I don\'t think that\'s it. I think it\'s because you find comfort in the arms of the one you love."

Sumire looked at him with wide eyes. "It\'s surprising you would say that. I thought you\'d be jealous."

Masato sighed deeply. "You really can be insensitive."

"Am I wrong? Oh maybe you found another girl-"

At those words Masato shook his head rather aggressively and she laughed. "So, you still like me?"

"Your the only one I know who would act so casually with people who like her."

"Hmm, I think it\'s because we are good friends." Sumire trailed off. "Or maybe I\'m just becoming immune to guys confessing their love to me."

"Had it been any other person I would think they were being vain, but it\'s you. So, I know you genuinely mean that." Masato paused. "Have you really been receiving that many confessions? I mean, I have been reading the news. But news regarding you is never credible."

"Aha." Sumire laughed. "Hmm, it\'s not that I have been receiving confessions. Only Shin really confessed. San and, Toh have admitted to still liking me. But that\'s all."

"What about Narasaki?"

"If Hino ever directly confessed, it would be very awkward. Hino doesn\'t have to confess to me. His actions more than prove how fond of he is of me and well, him staying behind instead of following Yuhi? That action alone proves how deep his feelings are."

That\'s why, if he were ever to truly say those words. She wouldn\'t know how to act around him anymore.I think you should take a look at

Her thoughts break off when Masato reaches over and flicks her forehead.

"You always end up in such complicated situations. You really do attract danger."

Sumire pouted. "I\'m not even doing anything though."

"That\'s exactly what makes this scary." Masato paused. "Only you have the right to decide who you love."

"What brought this on?"

"I have been thinking about it since before the final concur. While I acknowledge that hiding our feelings wouldn\'t have done much good. I don\'t think me and the others should have confessed to you at least then. At the very least, we should have given you more time between confessions."

Sumire shakes her head. "It\'s alright. I understand. It\'s difficult being around the one you love, without showing your feelings. I went through it too you know? With Yuhi-san. There were so many days where I just wanted to confess."

"But you didn\'t?"

"Because I didn\'t think I was good enough for him. I had a lot of, no I still have a lot of self esteem issues. Even though I gave birth to his children, there are many days where I think that I\'m not good enough, where I am worried that he will get tired and leave me."

"Sumire that\'s-"

"I am truly glad that you and the others are here now. It felt like I was going crazy on my own. Toh\'s presence has made it better and Hino is always here for me. But, it just isn\'t the same."

Masato\'s gaze softened. "Don\'t worry, from now on. We will be by your side."

After chatting for a bit, Masato left. Right then she spotted two peoplefrom the corner. Ah, it\'s Toh. He did say he would drop by today. But who is he- Sumire paused in mid-thought.

There was a woman clinging to his arm.

A really pretty one. Sumire\'s gaze darkened seeing how the girl was not only clinging to him, but trying to touch him in other places too. Surprisingly Toh wasn\'t pushing the woman away instead he turned to the woman and whispered something in her ear causing her to laugh.

A sudden burst of anger rushed through her, and it was taking all her will power not to rush over and yank the woman away. She watched as the womans arms slid up and undo the buttons on his shirt.

If she wasn\'t furious before she was now. Recalling the conversation she had with Toh. Sumire couldn\'t help but wonder if this was the change he spoke about. Is he no longer loyal to just one woman anymore? Has he truly become a player?

Sumire scanned the woman up and down and she immediately felt something off about her. Is she a hanyou? Is she going to drink Toh\'s blood?

\'That\'s mine, that\'s mine. You can\'t have it.\'

Sumire could no longer take the sight and turned away furiously. She didn\'t understand why, but seeing Toh with another woman upset her greatly.

\'I really am going insane.\'

No sooner had she walked down the hallway, and exited the building through the back door did she hear a deep husky voice behind her.

"Sumire, what\'s wrong?" Toh said as he grabbed her wrist.

"Fuck off." Sumire snapped. She was currently having a battle with her emotions. 

It shouldn\'t matter to her if Toh is seeing another woman or what he does with that woman. But, just seeing them close made her so angry and she had no idea why.
