Chapter 887 Thorn Part 16

HINO

At the airport.

There was quite a crowd due to Yuhi's hands. But with the guys in Akagumi around. It seemed like the crazy fans were being well behaved. Then again, the guys in Akagumi do look dangerous.

"Da-Da! Waaaa," Kyoko sobbed. "Don't want to go. Da stay with Kyoko."

Hino sweat fell. "The kids aren't going to let you go so easily now." He pointed to Satomi who was biting Yuhi's sleeve, clearly in an attempt to make him stay.

Yuhi laughed. "I didn't think they'd get so attached. Especially this little troublemaker who everytime joined my call with Sumire tried to make me jealous."

"Ma-ma, mine." Satomi spoke up.

"Brat." Yuhi grinned and flicked Satomi's forehead lightly causing Satomi to pout. "You can hog your mother for now. But when I get back, she will be all over me."

Hino rolled his eyes. "Are you seriously trying to compete with a kid?"

"This one is no child, he knows exactly what he is doing." Yuhi hugged Satomi and Kyoko together. "I'll get to know them properly when I return."

"Are you almost finished?"

Yuhi nodded. "I just have a few loose ends to deal with and then I'll come back."

Despite Yuhi's casual words, Hino knew there was something more to it. Something more than Takeyama's 'excuse' to drag Yuhi back to the US. Sumire told him before that Yuhi was working on taking down Lucifer's forces abroad and how Lucifers people have taken notice of that.

'He is being careless without me. So, be prepared anytime to get a phone call about how he has landed himself in hospital yet again.'

Hino watched as Tsueno Huan stepped forward, with his head down. Hino noticed that ever since Yuhi came, the young boy was doing a good job of hiding from Yuhi.

"You know what the doctor said kittle fellah?"

"What?"

"He said because you used your powers, the knife just missed her vital organs. Because of you, she lives."

'I heard about that too.' Sano called it a miracle. He said that the knife did hit her abdomen. But, because of the young boy. It only sc.r.a.ped her vital organs.

"But mom still got hurt." Huan protested.

"Yes, your mom wanted to protect you. She loves you. Don't make her efforts go to waste. She wouldn't want you to blame yourself."

"I-I will do better. Next time. I will protect mom properly." Huan said determined.

"Good boy." Yuhi nodded. "Protect your siblings for me until I return. You'll be the man of the house."

Huan sobbed and ran into Yuhi's arms. For someone who a year ago claimed that he doesn't know the first thing about children. He sure is doing a good job at it.

'I will do better huh?' The same goes for him. He needs to do better, not just for Sumire's sake but his gaze fell on Yuhi who was looking over at him. The past few days neither of them have exchanged much words. They both need s.p.a.ce and time to think.

In the time Yuhi is gone, he will think about it properly. Everything that has happened and when Yuhi returns, they can discuss it properly.

The day after Yuhi had left, Sumire woke up. He was in complete disbelief knowing that Yuhi just landed in the airport in the US and was in the middle of his ride back to his apartment. Hino had to stretch her cheeks to make sure she was really awake. That earned him a huge bruise on his forehead.

'For someone who has been sleeping for so long, what's with that strength of hers?' Hino was rubbing the sore spot on his forehead as Yuhi answered his call. Sumire has only been awake for a good fifteen minutes, but instead of asking him to get Sano or another doctor. Her first

"You're telling me she is awake? Now?" Yuhi said in disbelief.

"Fate loves to mess with you two. Yes, the violent one is awake."

Sumire hits his arms with her hands at those words. "It's definitely your wife, only she has such violent strength."

"Pa.s.s me the phone. I want to talk to my dearest."

Yuhi must have heard her speak. "Give it to her."

"Yeah, I'll pa.s.s the phone on to her now." Hino quickly pa.s.sed his phone to Sumire.

"Mmm, my dearest. I'm fine, Hino told me you were here?" Sumire laughed.

"No wonder the sheets smell like you. Oh, I didn't start sniffing at it or anything before Hino walked in the room."

'No, no that's exactly what she did.'

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Sumire catches him staring and winked. Geez, if it wasn't for her pale complexion, he wouldn;t

"Mm! Don't worry I'll rest, have my meals and drink medicine

It's too bad I wasn't awake Yuhi-san. It would have been a good opportunity to try those things you wanted to do to me."

Hino almost spat out his drink.

"Hm? What things am I talking about? You know, you said we ought to take our relations.h.i.+p to the next level and that you would touch me seriously. You asked me to think long and hard about the places you wanted me to touch, and I think I have quite the list already. I am healthy and curious young woman after all,"

'Curious?' Hino shakes his head. This girl will regret being so bold when Yuhi returns and attacks her non stop.

After a few more words Sumire hung up and pa.s.sed him his phone.

"I know what you want to say but if I didn't tease him, he would have continued to worry. He sounded so tired."

"He did stay by your side the last seven days. He only left to do the press conference. Even then he made sure it was close to the hospital. When it ended he quickly went back to you, hugged you and then head to the airport afterwards."

Sumire pointed to her neck. "I don't think he simply hugged me."

"I know you're not complaining."

Sumire laughed. "He's so silly, he didn't have to come here. I'm sure whatever work he abandoned in the US, ended up causing problems for the other guys too."

"Takeyama had a hard time stopping the other four from coming. Kira was so sly, he already booked tickets."

Sumire giggled. Her gaze softened. "I'm truly sorry for worrying everyone. But I am okay."

Hino sighed deeply. It's just like her to blame herself. It's not her fault this happened. He takes a deep breath before sitting on the bed.

Sumire's cheeks coloured and she laughed awkwardly. "Err, what are you doing?"

"Checking your temperature." Hino placed his hand on her forehead and frowned. "Your unusually warm."

"R-right, I guess I do have a fever." Sumire looked away but he cupped her cheeks. "H-Hino? Don't you think your too close?"

"You really have gotten thin. You'll need to eat a lot during your recovery."

'I suppose Yuhi feeding her blood wasn't enough since she wasn't getting any nutrients.'
