*UNEDITED*The only way for them to stop this if they get "that". Sumire didn"t want to knock out her husband like that. But she knew he would never let her go otherwise. Among the old legends she often read about before. Sumire recalled a story about an ancient seed that will cure anything. She wants to obtain it to cure those people who drank the drug. If she can make a cure with that seed, then they can counter attack. The reason why they can"t do anything but hide now is because it would mean harming normal civilians.
...
When the brunette next woke up, she was no longer in the forest. A wincing pain in her head. Huh? Where is she? Sumire glanced at her surroundings. Right now she is in the bottom of the ocean. But how is she still breathing? And why is there a palace underwater?
"It looks like the sacred seed is in that palace." A voice from beside her said.
Sumire glanced up and spotted long black hair engulfed in a midnight black cloak, "Lucifer --! You how can you be here?"
"Following you here really gives me an idea where the seed is..."
Her eyes went wide horrified, what he is looking for it? "Why are you searching for it? Perhaps you..."
"You don"t need to know why I"m looking for it. All you need to do is help me find it."
A deep sigh crossed her lips. "This man is as stubborn as ever." Sumire weakly got up and brushed the dirt from her clothes. "Is he causing problems for you too? Usually you wouldn"t intervene."
Lucifer sighed. "That troublesome kid is making unreasonable demands of me."
"What does he intend to use the seed for?"
As they approached the door, Sumire saw the seal immediately and yet Lucifer extended his arm out almost signalling to leave it up to him. Red rose petals surrounded them.
"It must be here."
Although this place looks suspicious... but..with the current situation she has no choice but to go forward. As they made their way down the dark hallway, the brunette sighs deeply. What happened to this castle? Just now she heard sighs that did not belong to her from every corner of the castle. It"s not Lucifer"s either.
It sounds sad and mournful. Is it a ghost?
"Sumire."
When she saw the voice belonged to Lucifer she almost collapsed on to the ground due to the relief. It"s him, she almost had a heart attack.
"I told you that one day you would regret sparing my life."
Sumire sighed. "After everything your asking me this now?"
His lips curve to a smile. "We have not met in so long, can"t I ask?"
"Well," Sumire trailed off. "I don"t regret it."
"Is that so?"
"Yes."
"Do you remember back when you lived with me. You told me that no matter what happens you will no longer return to Teras.h.i.+ma Yuhi."
Sumire looked away. "What are you trying to say?"
"It seems that you have the mind set of a human after all."
"Are you trying to make me angry?"
Lucifer chuckled. "Not at all, what good will that do? Be careful, the steps ahead aren"t steady."
"I know."
"This man always makes me angry." She wonders though what he has been up to in the past year since she returned to Star Town. Sumire couldn"t forget how lonely he looked when she told him she would return to Yuhi. Was Lucifer serious about wanting to be with her? Didn"t he only like her because she was the same type as him?
"Is your husband treating you well?" Lucifer asked.
"Of course."
"So he let you come here?"
Sumire looked away. "I left without saying anything."
"It seems you still have a hard time trusting people."
"That"s not it--" her sentence fell short when he turned around. Once she saw the serious look in his eyes, she immediately backed away.
Her back hit the wall and Lucifer pinned her hands. Due to
"Do you still think I"m joking?"
"He...read what I was thinking." Sumire almost forgot about his abilities. "A year has pa.s.sed already Lucifer, please just forget it."
At that comment Lucifer"s gaze darkened. "Forget it?"
"Yes, please forget it."
Sumire knew her words angered him. But what else could she do? She does not harbour feelings for this man at all. Before Sumire could say anything, Lucifer lowered his face and covered his mouth with hers. Her eyes widened startled and she tried to push him away. But for some reason she could feel no strength in her arms. He must be using his power on me! This jerk.
His bold lips crushed against hers, hand and hungry, it almost hurt. She felt his hot tongue trace her bottom lip demanding entrance.
She squeezed her lips tighter shut when she felt this. But his demand grew stronger and more impatient, his grip on her shoulders tightened.
He practically cut off the circulation and pressed his entire body against hers. It was harder to breath with all this weight on her now.
She gasped for air and in that split second Lucifer tongue shot in and took advantage. His warm tongue explored every inch of her mouth and battled with hers, trying to get her to kiss him back.
She refused and closed her eyes she tried to fight the tears that threatened to escape She pushed on her hands and kicked violently, but it did her no good.
She dug her nails into his skin and he simply groaned. After a few minutes he finally pulled away from her. "This reminds me of something, doesn"t it?"
Sumire clenched her fists when she heard his words.
He brought his lips to her ear. "Relax darling, I will enjoy myself tonight. I advise you do the same."
In that moment a large beam of light separated the two of them. The light only pushed her back - but it harmed Lucifer.
"Ru!"
"Hey there Ki." His usual foolish smile appeared on his face. "Sir, don"t you think you need to stop chasing after somebody"s wife?" But his tone was deadly.
Lucifer sighed and pulled away from her. "I do not want to hear that from you."
Mamoru wrapped his cloak around her. "Yuhi sent me after you."
At that comment she looked away. "I guess, he woke up already."
"He told me to tell you that he wants to chase after you. But, he won"t leave the kids alone." Mamoru explained. "Apologize to him when you get back."
"..Ru, you look tired."
Mamoru laughed. "I"m alright. Your the one who shouldn"t push yourself. Alright, let"s get going."
Sumire glanced back over at Lucifer who was waiting for them at the end of the staircase. She nodded and proceeded to walk down when Mamoru grabbed her hand. "Eh?"
"Alright, now we can go."
"Ru, I"m fine."
"No can do. Your husband told me your very clumsy these days."
Her gaze softened when she hears those words. "Yuhi noticed, huh?" In order to keep the kids safe, she is using more power than she normally would.
.....
"Alright you two, stay here. I will check it out."
Sumire wanted to come with him but she saw the look on his face and knew he would not let her go. She watched as Mamoru disappeared down the tunnel and cautiously looked towards Lucifer. After that earlier stunt she was on her guard. Lucifer picked up a piece of wood and wrapped a cloth around it. He extended it towards her and Sumire flinched.
Lucifer sighed. "Light it up."
Ah…
Sumire nodded and a small flame emerged from her fingertips, she lit up the material and Lucifer held it up. "We cannot stay here and do nothing. We should at least look at the surroundings, we might find a clue of some kind."
She only nodded and quietly followed behind him.
What is this person thinking right now?
