Chapter 833 Their Axiom Of Choice Part 12

SUMIRE

(I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING

IT CAN'T BE STOPPED. THIS HEART IS RACING SO FAST)

'Your flames have always had the opposite power to mine. The power to heal and not destroy.' Recalling Yuhi's words, and their close proximity at the time. The fire inside her seemed to dance with happiness. To heal, and not to destroy.

Soon, Sano and her are engulfed in a white light. Her flames slowly turned from the usual fiery orange and red to just pure white. The darkness around Sano slowly started to vanish.

(PLEASE LET ME FALL, YES PLEASE LET ME FALL

AND LET ME GO)

'I can't say these words to you yet. But, San thank you for falling in love with me.'

One day, he will truly have to let her go. One day she will have to tell him properly. But until his heart has truly healed, she will show him kindness.

.....

Sano opened his eyes, truly opened them and Sumire sighed in relief. "You look better."

He stared at her blankly for a few minutes before grabbing hold of her face and looking her up and down.

Sano's fingers brushed against the cut the darkness made on her cheek. "Did I-Did I hurt you?"

Sumire didn't get a chance to reply since he cursed. "Of course I hurt you. All I do is hurt you

He is rambling, he does this when he is nervous. That's right, even during their break up. His words were faltering and he looked tense. But at the time she didn't pay attention to that, how could he when he said such hurtful words?

Sumire takes a deep breath before slamming her forehead against his and head b.u.t.ted him.

If Sano looked confused before he did now. "I-I guess I deserve that from hurting you. But that must have hurt you too. I have a salve somewhere, your forehead-"

"San." Sumire said softly. "I'm not hurt."

Sano clearly didn't believe her, and indeed she knew what he was looking at. The cut on her cheek, the marks he made from his drinking blood, and her tattered sleeves and cut down her right arm.

Physically she is hurt but she has had worst injuries.

"I don't-I'm sorry-I-"

She cuts him off by wrapping her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. "I was so worried about you. I wish you told me sooner, if you had-" Sumire shakes her head. "I should have noticed."

Despite his odd methods of showing his concern. Sano noticed when she was in pain. How she came to him during rainy days because those were the days she felt the most vulnerable and the most alone.

"Sumire, you-that's-"

Sumire laughed weakly as she lifted her face from his neck. "I really was foolish, and even when we met again. But you knew didn't you? Even though you didn't say it."

Sano slowly nodded.

"I won't mess around anymore." She grabbed hold of his hands. "From now, let's face each other properly."

'Until the time comes where I have to truly ask you to let me go.'

Lucifer interjected angrily. He clearly wasn't pleased with this.

"Nagawa, come with me."

Sumire frowned prepared to summon her blood ability or her fire again. But Sano must have known that she used up her energy, since he grabbed hold of her hand and shakes his head. Sano hesitantly brought her hand to his lips and kissed it gently.

"Thank you."

She could only nod, no words came out. Because for a brief moment she saw it. Something she hadn't seen in his eyes in a long time.

Sumire watched the two leave, she kept glaring at Lucifer. A warning glare that she could easily cut him down if he chose to hurt Sano again. It seemed Lucifer understood since he didn't even get near Sano.

She sat on the ground for a few seconds, and took deep breathes. 'Changing my flames into that white flame wasn't easy. I don't even know how I did it. I just thought of Yuhi-san-' Sumire paused and laughed softly. He truly is her source of strength. Everytime she feels weak and vulnerable, she just needs to think about him.

Now then, it will be hard to get back by herself. Sumire takes her phone out and Hino immediately answered.

"Are you f.u.c.king crazy Sumire?" Hino exclaimed.

"I told you what I was going to do."

Hino clicked his tongue annoyed. "I was in a meeting, and I couldn't leave easily without people questioning me. So I had to stay, I sent some messages out but has n.o.body found you yet?"

Ah, he must have contacted the guys in akagumi. If that's the case it won't be long before Yoru, Jae or Kawa found her. She simply needs to stay put.

"No, I'm in an alleyway beside-" Sumire was about to give Hino the adress when she hears screaming.

Sumire mustered whatever strength she had left in her body to follow the direction of the scream. It didn't take her long before she found two small children. A young girl around six and a boy that looked seven. He was s.h.i.+elding her from a huge black shadow creature.

Tsk, dammn Lucifer. This must have been the plan before Sano came and interrupted things. Taking a deep breath Sumire summoned her blood sword again. She had already used up a lot of energy. So it was difficult and yet she managed to throw the sword right at the creatures heart.

A large blood churling sound, followed by a thud as it fell to the ground. Sumire didn't get the chance to relax when she saw pieces of the building crumbling down. Seeing the large chunks head towards the children. She immediately rushed over, covered the two kids in a blood s.h.i.+eld and pushed them as far away as she could.

Using that last bit of strength to tell the kids to stay put, to lull them to sleep. Sumire collapsed on the ground.

'I won't die from this. But my injuries will be severe.' She bit her lip and closed her eyes. In the next second however she was being lifted off the ground, the surrounding objects were being pushed away with shadows.

It takes her a moment to realize who was carrying her, and she immediately felt safe. From the very moment they met, she understood something. This person may not have a very good att.i.tude, and he is easily irritated. But he cares, once he cares about someone. He will remain loyal forever.

"Sumire? Sumire, stay awake!"

It's Hino, she weakly lifted her finger and pointed at the direction of the blood s.h.i.+eld that was floating nearby. "Help them." and everything faded to black.
