Chapter 891 Thorn Part 20

HINO

Feeling the dark aura around Sumire. Hino shuddered. Right, there is a reason why she is called the demon Princess of the underworld and Aki's weapon. She can truly be frightening. Before she met Mas.h.i.+ma, it seemed like she was on the verge of completely losing her morals.

"For now, work on your recovery. You're not fully healed yet. You did get stabbed in a vital place. A normal person would be dead now." Hino pointed out.

"Mmmm, I understand. Oh, about what I discussed before the concert."

"You want to visit star town to see Kain Ryuuji. He actually contacted me a few days ago to pa.s.s on a message. 'Once she recovers, tell her to meet me in mount oso. There is something there that will be useful for her.'" Hino repeated.

"Mount oso, huh." Sumire turned to Toh. "In that case, can you come with me? Oh, also ask Eli to come."

Hino frowned. "Hold on, I don't think you should be going anywhere with Eli-"

"That's why Toh is coming too. You have to trust one of them Hino."

'I don't want to trust either of them. But between the two, Mas.h.i.+ma is more trust worthy.'

"You and Mas.h.i.+ma can travel on your own can't you?"

Sumire blinked. "Uh, is that such a good idea?"

"What do you mean-?" Hino said puzzled.

"I mean, uh-" At those words Mas.h.i.+ma clasped his hand over Sumire's mouth preventing her from speaking.

"It's nothing." Toh answered quickly.

Hino looked at the two of them back and forth with suspicion in his eyes. From what he has seen Mas.h.i.+ma has been nothing but a gentleman to Sumire. But, maybe he is just putting on a front? Hino shakes his head. If he starts doubting Mas.h.i.+ma again, they'll never get anywhere.

SUMIRE

It took much persuasion, but after a few days had pa.s.sed by. She managed to convince Hino to allow her to go to University. Hino told her 'with an accident on such a large scale like this, n.o.body will say anything if she takes a step back from work for awhile.' She is fine, she is recovering and wants to return to the stage as soon as possible. But, Sumire understood that it wasn't as simple as that.

She exhaled deeply. Since Hino dropped her off, all morning people have been ambus.h.i.+ng in the hallway asking if she was okay. There were even some who wanted to write their names on her bandages.

So many people from other cla.s.ses, who she never spoke to before were being very nice to her too. Of course there were some who were staring at her bitterly and making rude comments. However, those people were very few. Later on she learned the reason for this amazing transformation was due to Miya. Miya explained everything that happened, and even the words she said to the fans.

It was those words that lead to others changing their opinion regarding her. She is thankful for Miya's efforts, but she is exhausted.

'I am getting much better being around people but, I still feel overwhelmed being surrounded by such a huge crowd.' Thankfully Akatsuki-kun noticed her distress and managed to distract the crowds, long enough for her to sneak away.

Sumire stood in front of the door, the empty medical wing where she meets with Sano for him to drink her blood. The moment she decided she wanted to come back today. Sano rearranged his entire schedule so he could make it today. Thankfully, he has been kept busy all morning.

If she thought Toh's reaction to her waking up was a shock, Sano truly overdid it. It wasn't a surprise that Hino punched him. Since then a different doctor has been attending to her, and Sano had to stay away.

'If he does anything again Sumire, you have to push him away.'

Recalling Hino's strict instructions, she sighed again. She ought to be lucky that he didn't decide to follow her here.

Taking a deep breath, Sumire opened the door. She half expected Sano to run to her and kiss her like he normally does when she comes to these little sessions. However, what greeted her was the sight of Sano sitting down and Toh was there on the bench where she normally sat.

"What are you doing here?" Sumire said surprised.

"I'm supervising."

'I did pa.s.s on Yuhi-san's words to him, but I didn't think he would do this.' Hesitantly she crossed over to the room where Toh was, while keeping her eye out on Sano. What is his mood like today? Ever since she helped him that time, the situation between them has gotten better. But, Sano can't change that quickly.

Once she was close, Toh positioned her not on the s.p.a.ce beside him but on his lap. Sumire looked at him in disbelief.

"What are you-"

Though he does this a lot when they are at home, that's different. Sano is right here and Sumire peered over to see a dark aura wrapped around him. See, he is already mad!

"Toh?" Sumire said nervously.

"Drink from me while he drinks from you." Toh said like it was nothing at all.

Sumire's eyes widened at his suggestion if she could even call it that. She turned to Sano.

"Did you actually agree to that?" Sumire wondered.

She knew how Sano quote treasured these times they spend together. It's not like him to agree to this, then again between the two Toh is stronger so if Toh used violence to threaten Sano of course he would agree. Sumire tried to scan Sano's face for injuries, but she couldn't see any.

But just because she can't see any physical scars, doesn't mean there hasn't been any threats. Toh is a mind user after all, he could have easily used his ability to enter Sano's mind and manipulated him. Although it doesn't fit with the image of the Toh she knew, Sumire understood that Toh was only kind to her. With his enemies, he can be ruthless.

Toh sighed knowingly. "Now, now beautiful. Do you really think I would act like a brute?"

"Uh, yes I do."

Toh gave a low dark chuckle down her ear. "I am very hurt. I didn't know you had such a poor opinion of me, should I punish you beautiful?"

Sumire looked at Toh horrified. He isn't kidding! He will definitely try to 'punish' her later on.
