Chapter 853 Glorious Sunshine Part 7

SUMIRE

Initially she assumed whatever attraction or interest there was between them would fade. But, the more time they spent together. The more she realized how wrong she was. Her thoughts became a mess, and she started to feel guilty. Guilty knowing that if she were to see Yuhi again, or if Yuhi ever came for her. She would have left Toh without hesitation.

Sumire picked a random one from that side of the shelf, and placed it in the video player before walking back to the couch. She made herself comfortable when Toh brings a trolley of food over, and sits beside her.

"Tired, beautiful?" Toh asked.

"A little."

"I'm sure your extra exhaustion is looking up your name several times before you go to sleep."

Gah of course he noticed that.

"I'm just checking, what colorful rumors have popped up since the last time."

Toh sighed. "I understand your concerned beautiful. But, just remember they are the petty ones resorting to slander on the net."

"It's not like everything is a lie. For example, some people have picked on my dress habits. Like wearing male clothes to my practices just sends the wrong message. Even if those clothes belong to my partner. Or there was an article how I ignored a newbie asking me for help when I was too absorbed in practice."

"Sumire." Toh said softly. "What those people think about you shouldn't matter. What's important is how you see yourself.'

"But, what if I agree with them?" Sumire argued.

Toh placed his hand on top of her thigh. "You'll get punished."

Sumire looked at him horrified. "That's cheating!!!"

Toh chuckled. "I told you before beautiful. I'll do anything to make sure your smiling."

She sighed deeply. "Well, it's not like it bothers me as much as it used to."

"Oh?"

"After everything that has happened. I am honestly too tired to care what others think of me. No matter what I do, I can't change people's opinions about me now. They'll continue to believe what they want to, even with all the evidence in front of them. It's tiring having to explain myself to people who refuse to listen." Sumire mumbled.

It's exhausting, she no longer wants to explain. What good will it do? She will always be the villain in their stories, their words and actions have hurt her so deeply that she has truly become the monster they say she is.

Her thoughts break off when she feels Toh's and return to the inside of her thigh and start trailing towards the center. Sumire looked at him confused, and then startled when she felt his fingers there.

Just a single stroke, and she felt her body heat up. Ahhh her stupid hormones again! Sumire cursed. According to her research on hanyous, it wasn't just the pleasure given from bites that would set her off. But simple touches. The more she learned about hanyous, the more she is starting to think that they all have hormone issues.

"S-stop!" Sumire exclaimed. "That's too much."

Toh chuckled. "Terashima doesn't have to know about this. It can be our little secret."

Sumire paused. "You won't tell him?"

It's strange, normally won't guys boast about their achievements seducing a woman? She knows Sano fully intends to rub it in Yuhi's face when he returns. Of course if he does that, it will end up in a huge fight. Sano isn't stupid enough to provoke Yuhi, at least before he became a hanyou himself. Is he that confident in his strength?

Toh nodded. "Unlike Nagawa, I am not a petty man and can be very accommodating. I don't need to boast about touching you beautiful. The reactions you only make for me? I am more interested in that."

She felt Toh curl his fingers and she bit her lip suppressing a moan. There has to be something in those stupid books she has been reading everyday, to stop her body from betraying her like this!

Her thoughts break off when somebody grabs her arm and pulled her away from Toh.

Sumire blinked when she saw platinum blonde hair. It was Soujiro, he looked between the two of them and her flushed face before sighing. He flicked her forehead and she felt a small breeze or a tap of power surround her. The arousal she felt when Toh touched her immediately vanished.

"I thought you were a decent person Mashima. Or are you like that barbarian after all?"

Toh shakes his head and runs his hands through his hair. "Sorry about that." Toh apologized to her. "I am having a hard time lately, are you alright beautiful?"

Sumire slowly nodded her head, not understanding what just happened. Toh barely did anything but he truly looks regretful for what just happened. Did he know his touch could do that to her? Is it just him, or can others do that too? This isn't the first time she has felt something like this happen. When he cuddles with her at night, something similar happens.

She can inquire about this later. She made eye contact with Toh who nodded and said he would step out for a bit. Sumire turned her attention back to Soujiro.

"Soujiro? Is there a reason you dropped by?"

"I thought I'd stop by before I leave the country."

On the day she first learned that Toh was her roommate,

she told Soujiro first. Although he has been very busy, and hasn't had much time to meet. He messages her often.

"Ah, are you going to-"

Soujiro nodded. "I'm going to help Terashima."

Sumire sighed in relief. "Thank you so much. I'll be more reassured if you're there to keep him in line."

At those words Soujiro exhaled deeply. "Both of you are very careless. How many times have I told you both to stop provoking the enemy?"

"But they are annoying."

Soujiro shakes his head. "No matter how annoying they are my dear, you cannot provoke an enemy who is already hostile towards you."

"Did Yuhi provoke someone?" Sumire asked.

Unfortunately she didn't get the chance to discuss anything underworld related with him. The next time they meet, they should go over details together. Yuhi-san is investigating Lucifer's strongholds abroad, and she is taking care of everything happening in Asia.

A troubled look flashed through Soujiro's eyes as he gives her a summary of Yuhi's activities the past few weeks. Sumire whistled impressed. Here she thought she was going crazy, but her dearest is causing so much chaos and not giving a fuck about it.

As expected of Yuhi-san, there is still so much she has to learn from him.
