Eternal Melody

He did not reply right away since he felt very frustrated. Frustrated with her or himself?

Right at the moment, he felt angry towards her, even though he knew this was his fault too.

"You're an idiot." Yuhi said bluntly.

She is the biggest fool off all. How could she join him in a fight despite knowing the limits of her own health right now? How could she behave so foolishly.

Seeing her battered up like this and in such a weak condition. He already knew what she did. Suddenly he felt a light kiss on his neck and his eyes widened.

"As I thought...."As I thought...when it comes to you I can't pull away. Were always so far apart .. And it really does make me feel lonely. It was probably because of that reason that I couldn't close down the pathway to and the other worlds. I'm sorry...I really am a selfish girl aren't I Yuhi?"

If today was not yesterday, but tomorrow,

Yesterday would be today, and tomorrow, the day after.

I wonder where this boat is headed,

As the rudder steers toward the day after,

If today wasn't even today,

But that day instead… ahh, it'd be so nice!

I just think it would be so nice.

So that's what it was. When he heard the report from Kai when he was rushing over, Yuhu did think it was strange. Even with her powers in this stage something like that should have been an easy task. She really is something else.

"Stupid, it's supposed to be the guy who says that...." he gripped hold of one of her hands, " I also wanted to selfishly stay by your side like that."

"Aha...I see. So you did not lie to me."

"Why would I lie to you? I don't have a reason to do that at all." Yuhi paused when he recalled something. Now that he thought about it, she said something about disliking lies before, didn't she?

"Because you're stubborn."

[ - It's not something I can talk to anyone else about either]

What is she saying in a situation like this? " Your stubborn…and yet your so strong, your strong hands are always supporting the weak and fragile me. That's why, if there's something I can do…then…"

Yuhi didn't need the girl to finish her sentence, so that's how she ended up like this. Because …she noticed the condition he was in. She went ahead and did something like that.

[ So I'll try making a phone call to god and asking about it]

"I love you Yuhi."

With those words he watched as the girl closed her eyes. His hand immediately made its way to her pulse line, she is still breathing but barely. He really did take a lot out of her, she's in her weak state too so the pressure must have been too much.

She loves him huh?

[ If today were not tomorrow. But yesterday.

That would make tomorrow today, and yesterday..

…the day before yesterday..]

A person like him, who is tainted and has a colour that will only cause you harm. Yuhi turned his head slightly and plants a kiss on the girl's forehead, as he murmurs softly. "I love you too."

...…..

Two days later -

A quick discussion with Hino led to this current situation. His gaze fell on the girl in front of him who was busy making decorations for the upcoming festival. The two of them were the only ones in the classroom since everybody else was busy decorating outside. He wondered if she is truly okay now. Two days ago, she looked so pale and she couldnt move. It pained Yuhi whenever he thought how badly wounded she was.

Also, there is something that bothers him. According to his medic friend, there is another life force inside her. Despite those vague terms, Yuhi understood what that meant. Sumire is pregnant isnt she?

' However, I truly wish you a different fate: Makoto Soujiro, I hope one day when you meet the one that you truly want, she would break your heart into pieces and will continue to haunt you for the rest of your life!'

Those words to him were similar to a curse. And it's when he realised that, that he understand that perhaps Touko meant much more to him then he ever realised. If that were the case then he would deserve any punishment he were to receive and yet he still attempted to escape.

If he fell in love, his heart would break into pieces again and if that were to happen, could he pretend that nothing happened? Pretend that everything was alright and go about his life. No, not even someone as emotionless as him would be able to. Which is why rather than have that occur then he would ensure he wouldn't fall in love. That is how it was supposed to be. But when he met that girl, everything started to change.

"Yuhi-san, did you stay behind to slack or to stare at me?"

"Both."

Sumire sighed and pointed to one of the signs. "Paint that please."

"Yeah, yeah." Yuhi stood up and picked up one of the brushes. "Say, do you still feel sick in the morning?" Ever since that day, Yuhi noticed that she does not throw up as much in the morning. Then again only two days have gone by, so maybe it is too soon to tell.

"Sometimes." Sumire nodded. "Ah."

"What?"

"Your too far away now, this distance is rather unpleasant. So would you mind if I go over there?"

Yuhi almost dropped the paintbrush but Sumire swiftly caught it. The girl laughed and he looked away. "If you were bored with the decorations and wanted to work on the sign, you should have told me."

Sumire laughed. "So If I told you I just wanted to get closer, what would you think."

"I wouldn't answer and just kiss you."

Sumire covered her mouth with her sleeves and laughed again. "I see."
