Eternal Melody



SUMIRE

Did Toh actually think something would happen between them? Sumire shook her head. It can't be, after all he isn't the type of person who would touch someone who is in a relationship. Toh is a good guy, he'd never force her to do anything. When she first laid down the ground rules, Toh even mentioned that he would never do anything she doesn't want. Sumire paused as she repeated the words he said. Her eyes widened horrified realizing. 

"L-let me make this clear now." Sumire breaks the silence between them. "I don't want you!"

Toh chuckled. "Your a pretty liar, Hanyou female or not, you wouldn't react that way with someone you didn't like."

He's right about that but-

"It will never happen." Sumire managed to say with as much confidence as she could handle.

Toh simply chuckled and neither of them said a word before they arrived in his bedroom. She suddenly felt self-conscious staying in this room with him. What if she does something else that makes him misunderstand? What if he breaks his own rules and touches her?

So much has changed since they dated. Sumire understood that Toh was no longer the same man that he was before. He may treat her with the same kindness, but she would more of a glimpse of his cruel side.

She felt Toh lower her onto the bed, and watched as he removed his shirt. It's not like she could have looked away, since he removed it so quickly. 

Stopping at his pants, Sumire immediately exclaimed. "Y-your keeping those on tonight!"

Toh rolled his eyes. "I doubt it will make much of a difference beautiful."

"Still keep them on!"

He sighed but nodded and slipped onto the bed beside her. At first he simply sat down, but eventually he cursed and just pulled her against his naked torso.

Toh was hugging her tightly, their legs curled together. "So beautiful, are you comfortable?"

"I--" Sumire forgot how to speak. This is strange, he is definitely acting strange tonight.

Oh, Huan please hurry up. Once her little boy is here. She won't be so distracted with Toh's attempts at seduction. 

He chuckled. "Take deep breaths, you're fine. You're in control."

"Toh." Sumire mumbled softly. "We shouldn't--"

"It's only a bit of cuddling. Besides your freezing."

With that explanation Sumire relaxed in his hold. But, she still felt tense. So, she brings up another guy.

"I know Yuhi asked you to keep San from me. But, you have to know that he--"

'He needs blood. Even if he overdoes it sometimes and takes too much, just because he wants to touch me. There is no doubt that his powers will go out of control without it.'

The minute she mentioned Sano, Toh's expression darkened. The seductive aura around him was replaced by gloom. Her sweat fell. Maybe she should have used somebody else as a shield. Toh usually treats everybody the same, even his enemies. He shows no emotion other than that fake smile on his face. However, it is different with Sano.

"I know, Narasaki sent me the video." Toh trailed off. "I am unaware of what Nagawa's actual ability is."

"It's not shadows." Sumire mumbled. "I thought it was, but that's because of the darkness."I think you should take a look at

"The only shadow ability user recorded in existence is Narasaki. Not to say there aren't anymore, there may be some and just haven't been found yet. But for now, it's only Narasaki. That power is very hard to control, and I think the only reason he controls his shadows so well is because of his mind ability too."

"It seems complicated." 

Toh chuckled. "Why don't I join you in the library next time? We can go over the information you learned together."

"That would help, sometimes it feels like I am absorbing the information but not really understanding what it means."

"Then it's a library date."

Sumire paused hearing the words 'date.' She wanted to refute him when Toh took out a small dagger and slashed his wrist. She looks at him alarmed when Toh reminds her she hasn't drunk blood in a while.

"I-I don't need to take it today." Sumire exclaimed.

"Don't be stubborn about this. Nagawa practically drains you dry every time you see each other. I know the next meeting is soon, you'll need my blood to keep you going."

Seeing his warning glare, Sumire knew she couldn't say anything. If-if it's just his wrist, maybe she won't react oddly.

'Hear that body of mine? Don't you dare act up.'

"Drink." Toh pushed his hand towards her mouth.

She takes a deep breath before her teeth grazed the blood. Toh gently pushed her head down and she bit him. The second she did that, a flood of memories, and his current thoughts flashed through her head. She had to control the burning sensation in her lower body, and her flushed face. He is doing this on purpose! Then again, this was why she didn't want to drink his blood tonight. Before things became awkward, she drunk his blood regularly every night before they went to bed. However, she put a stop to that after the poison incident. She felt like if they continued that way, Toh's self control would break.

It is already difficult to handle Sano. Moreover, Toh is different. Sano is easy to handle and reject. But Toh? It's not easy to push him away. 

She continues to drink despite the vivid details and images he sent to her head. After a few minutes Toh eventually tells her to stop.

"Good?"

Sumire nodded and Toh wiped the remains of his blood from her lips. She couldn't help but stare at the handkerchief in wonder. 'That's a waste. I'd like a bit more.'

"Did you want this?" Toh asked catching her gaze.

'What I want is you to let me drink from your neck-' Sumire shook her head. No, don't be crazy! Don't. Since Toh made her drink from his hand. Even he must see the odd sexual tension in the air between them. 

Toh's gaze met hers and a dangerous glint flashed through his eyes. "I think you need a bit more." His fingers clawed at his neck, and the minute she spotted blood. She completely loses it.

She is lunging for the handkerchief, him- most likely him again. She didn't bother with the remaining blood on his wrist, but focused her attention on his neck.

"That's it beautiful, drink as much as you want. Don't hold back."

She wanted to deny it, lie to herself that she had been craving for blood other than Yuhi's. Because it would be wrong.

It's wrong, but she can't stop herself.
