Chapter 1096 Tokyo Illusion Part 34
YUHI
Mashima is right again, psychologist or not. Yuhi has to admit he is impressed.
'If you two acted like any normal couple and released your anger in small amounts. Your fights would be normal. But instead you bottle it away.'
Mashima warned him. He should have said something sooner, and maybe it wouldn't have led to this. But, even if he regrets it. There is no taking back what just happened. So Yuhi raised his face to face her.
"I know you're insecure regarding the other guys, no regarding Toh. I know what you want to talk to me about. But, don't you see? Even though I knew I didn't confront you about it, because I wanted to give you your space to think."
"I-"
"As for where I have been going every night, yes I have been drinking Toh's blood. But it's only after I exhausted myself during the day, making a gift for you."
A gift?
Sumire tossed a box in his direction.
"Your birthday passed, and we never celebrated it. It was the same last year too because I disappeared for three months. I suggested the cruise to Siena for our launch party, because I wanted to have some alone time with you."
His birthday? Yuhi blinked. That's right, the day-
Oh crap.
Before Yuhi could say anything, Sumire was already out of the doors.
Yuhi hesitantly picked up the box and inspected it, worried that it was damaged. But seeing a small glow around the box, Yuhi realized that even when she tossed it, she was trying to protect the contents. He slowly unwrapped it. It was a snow globe, a snow globe of their house from the seventh life.
There was Sumire when she was Nanaka holding two babies and he was on the side with another kid.
Yuhi froze. The image on the globe was too real to be made up. Moreover, that's definitely the house he designed for her before their wedding. These kids, is-is she saying she was-
'"I want you to find me, please. I still haven't given you anything. I haven't repaid the love, friendship and kindness you gave me. I wish we had more time.'
Still haven't given him anything? Oh, that foolish woman. She was pregnant. That's?why she looked pale and sickly, that's why she was concerned about the poison.
She must have made?this from scratch, with her bare hands. Of course she would be losing a lot of blood, she used her ability for some of the effects in the dome.
'I should have just asked Mashima earlier, why Sumire was so tired, why she needed that much blood. I could have asked, and Mashima wouldn't have lied.'
Even though he loves her so much, why does he keep doing stupid things to hurt her?

SUMIRE
'I always joked about fighting with Yuhi before, but I never thought that when it actually happened it would be like this.'
Atushi always said that one day karma would pay a visit to her even if these jokes are harmless. She really didn't mean to lash out like that. But, when she saw how strongly he was blocking her, she was upset. Doesn't he trust her anymore? Is it because of what happened with Lucifer? Even though Yuhi-san said he understood. Sumire felt very uneasy.
It was one of the main reason why she has been so responsive to his advances. She wanted to convey her emotions, to convey her love. She wants Yuhi to understand, that no matter who touches her, she will always belong to him. From the very start, she already gave him everything.
Her anger had less to do with the female Yuhi made friends with. Truthfully, she doesn't feel any jealousy towards females who like Yuhi or the ones he befriends with. She used to find her confidence towards Yuhi odd.
But after regaining all her memories, it makes sense. They have loved each other for three lifetimes. Still, there is something that doesn't odd up. She was in love with Lennon too, but they never had a soul bond. How come it went from Lex to Yuhi? Why did it skip over Lennon, when Lennon loved her just as much? What are the conditions to activate the soul bond?
"Beautiful, are you really going to sleep here?" Toh spoke up.
"I am." Sumire had just finished rearranging her bed sheets onto the couch.
"Stay in my room."
"I don't want Yuhi to misunderstand, even if we are fighting."
Toh sighed. "You can't stay out here alone. Too dangerous."
"I'll be fine--wahh-" Sumire exclaimed as she was suddenly lifted off the ground.
Toh picks her up. "You're staying with me."
"Toh put me down."
"No."
Sumire tried to break free but it was futile, subconsciously she finds herself relaxing in Toh's arms.
"Are you comfortable?" Toh asked.
Sumire pouted. "He really will get the wrong idea if I stay in your room."
'If he even notices. Knowing Yuhi-san, he would have probably found an isolated space and confined himself there. Knowing Yuhi-san, he won't come out for a few days and only eat and drink in small amounts. I can't let this fight continue that long, after a day. I will give him a day.'
"Tough. It's dangerous to be on your own. Either you go back to his room, or you stay with me."
Sumire sighed deeply knowing she wouldn't win this argument. So, she reluctantly agreed and Toh picked up her stuff and led her down the hall. The two of them walked in silence before they reached his room. Toh gently lays her on the bed, as she explains the fight in detail.
"I didn't mean to snap like that."
Toh raises his eyebrow. "You don't have to feel that bad about it, once in a while you can get angry at him."
Sumire sighed. "But right now Yuhi is-"
"His mental state is a lot worse than yours. It's surprising, I didn't think I would find another case as worse as yours. Though there is Nagawa too."
A complicated look flashed through her eyes as she eyed the door. She regretted it the moment she stormed out but she still wanted to give him a few hours to process everything.
'Seeing as how he didn't come to find me. I figured he needed some more time, so I decided to sleep out there in the longue.'
Toh tightened his hold on her. "No can do beautiful, you two are fighting. If you come crawling back so easily, he won't understand."
"But, I feel restless. I'm too worried about him to sleep."
How can she possibly fall asleep knowing that somewhere in this ship, Yuhi is most-likely punishing himself?
