Chapter 1106 Tokyo Illusion Part 44

YUHI
"Unfortunately not. He was hard to find before, but if he is possessed like you said, then it will be impossible to find him."
He only relayed the information regarding Aki's possession to a limited group. If others knew that Aki was going renegade, the balance of the Holy Knights would crumble.
"I'm sure our Princess can find him."
Yuhi frowned. "I don't want her to go near him until I understand what state he is in."
"According to what Mashima told us, Lennon was the one who attacked Lucifer and Lucifer lost. If he is that dangerous, I don't think you should be going near him either."
"But someone has to see exactly what we are dealing with. For now we can keep this a secret, but if Aki starts appearing in front of more of our people?"
It will be a huge uproar.
"By default Kain Ryuuji is leading the Holy Knights since he is the third in command. But when Sumire returns to Star town? She will have to shoulder everything. She is already taking care of too much."
Atushi shakes his head. "You do realize she has been searching for Aki whenever she has free time? Face it Yuhi, you can't keep her from doing this."
"I know, and I didn't intend to stop her from searching. I just wanted to find him first, and determine whether it's safe or not to approach."
"I'm sure we already know the answer to that. Mashima described what Lucifer's wounds were like in detail, he even shared the memory with us, remember?"
Yuhi sighs deeply. "I know I'm being stubborn but I just want to be careful. I can't have anything happen to her again."
Atushi nodded and patted his shoulder. "We will keep her safe, it won't happen again." He trailed off. "I came back from star town not too long ago, and checked on Iwa-san."
"Is he alright?"
"He woke up, and should be discharged in two days."
In two days huh? That's when Sumire returns, the timing is perfect. Yuhi knew Sumire had questions for Ran.
"-and Momoi?" Yuhi recalled.
"Futaba-san was really shaken up by this incident. She didn't even react when she saw me." Atushi shakes his head. "The black alice organisation needs to be stopped. I thought the chaos they have been causing here is bad, but in star town?"
Yuhi frowned. "Maybe it's better to stay in Tokyo after all."
"I hate to point this out to you again, but you have a very stubborn wife."
Yuhi sighs. "You should talk to her, I know she listens to you."
Atushi shakes his head. "I value my life, thank you very much." He trails off. "I know you're worried, but Sumire can't escape her responsibility. She defeated Aki, from the very start she was supposed to shoulder the burden of being the leader of the Holy knights."
"It's just not a good time with her career picking up."
"The decision is up to her, you said it yourself."
Yuhi closed his eyes, that's right, the choice is hers. Even if he isn't happy about it.
_______________________
Recently the kids have found their own hobbies, so he has been returning to an empty house. They are only a few months old, but they are already as ambitious as their mother. Yuhi exhales deeply as he heads upstairs. He finds himself heading not to his and Sumire's room but Sumire's room. Though she uses it as an extra storage space for her books and cds rather than a room now. He flops down on the bed, and closes his eyes. But after a few minutes he realized it was futile to get to sleep. Even though he didn't contribute to the fighting today. The smell of blood still clung to him.
So, he picks up his guitar and tries to finish composing the new song. It was hard to focus, since all he could think about was the scene from earlier. Earlier at the warehouse, they went over to save Chitose's sister.
Although it wasn't Sumire he knew that right now she was in a safe place. 'I can't help but feel uneasy, what if it was her? What if she was the one strapped to that chair with those devices that looked like bombs?' Because the girl was a relative, he allowed Chitose to do what he wanted. However he didn't say to Raizo knowing how uptight that guy is about following the rules.
Composing with his thoughts like this is impossible, so he puts the guitar down and buried his face in one of Sumire's pillows. Catching her scent, he blinks.
He spots a little note on the edge on the headboard.
'To the pervert, who is sniffling my pillows. I'll have you know I deliberately left my scent on here on purpose.'
Yuhi chuckled. Sumire really is an interesting one. No matter how much time he spends with her, he finds many different sides of her. Amongst those many different sides, recently he is starting to notice her fragile sides more.
'I am afraid that if I let her go, she will fall apart again.'
His thoughts broke when he saw something on the bedside table. Lyrics?
M5 - TOKYO Illusion
This world, stained by lies
is now covered in snow.
Even our absolute zero kiss
burns with a fiery heat as
this is our reality.
Tokyo One Night Illusion
Floating in a platinum darkness.
Running up skyscrapers
as we rewrite our tragic futures.
If the sun melts our dreams
we'll return to that sinful city but
our love continues to rain down.
She hasn't finished it yet but he could feel his lips curve into a smile. It's only at this stage, but Yuhi had no doubt that it would be an amazing song. She really does never fail to amaze him, he picked up the purple coloured notepad that was alongside the sheet of paper. Only to flick through and see several words on each page.
Key -
"Lies" ( bitter, sweet)
"Snow". " Kiss"
'( Colour)
/
/
" Reality " " Stain"?( Paint)
" Pain" --( Memory )
Ah, that's right. Even if she is an amazing person, she is just like any other person out there. She makes mistakes, has to think about things properly, get hurt, feel sadness. He fingers the words the brunette wrote on each page. A part of him already knew, no matter how strong she is, she has her weak moments.
She hasn't changed much from the first life, maybe that's why he could always find her.
