Chapter 1105 Tokyo Illusion Part 43
YUHI
"Did my brother give you a token to the spirit realm?" Sumire suddenly asked.
"You knew that he was-"
Sumire nodded. "When my parents in this life adopted him, I really wanted to strangle him. I thought to myself he was insane for following me all the way out here."
"I thought you didn"t have your memories of your past lives until recently?"
"Truthfully I had some, but I couldn"t make much sense of it. When I saw brother Rayne, I knew immediately that he was my real brother. But, I didn"t understand why and he never explained it to me."
"I see." Yuhi see"s Sumire eyeing the token. "When we have settled our matters, we can take a trip there. I"d like to meet Lina."
Sumire"s gaze softened. "She"s not like Kyo-chan, she"s a noisy child. I think she inherited my wild side. She looks more like Lennon than me."
"I"m sure she inherited your pretty eyes."
Sumire laughed. "She did." Sumire paused. "I really want to see her again. I never got a proper chance to tell her how much I loved her. Actually she was sent to the spirit realm to learn to be more humble from Slyvia. She was a spoilt child, and she ended up in a dispute with some other children. The first few times it happened, I stood by her side. But then I saw how she treated the servants." She shakes her head. "If I knew what would happen, I would have treasured her more."
Yuhi debates about telling her but shakes his head. No more lies, no more secrets. So, he explains the conversation he had with Rayne.
At his words, Sumire"s face colour paled. "The last time she saw me, I was dead and covered in blood-" Sumire tried to s.n.a.t.c.h the token from him and Yuhi stopped her. "My dear-"
"You can"t, we already stayed here longer than we should have. Do you really want to put Hino in a difficult position?"
Sumire sighs deeply. "I know, it"s just, I want to see her." She places her hand on the water. "Lina was a spoilt and noisy child, but she liked boat rides like this. Whenever she was in one, she would surprisingly not speak much and just focus on the scenery. It"s during times like that, I saw her at ease, relaxed and happy." Seeing her tears, Yuhi stood up and walked to her side.
The boat rocked slightly, but he tossed his bag to his former seat to balance the boat. There was barely any s.p.a.ce beside Sumire so he picks her up and sits down, propping her on his lap.
Sumire wraps her arms around his neck. "My dear, I loved Lennon yes, and I want to see our child again. But, I love you more."
"It"s okay, I"m actually not jealous."
Sumire laughs. "I guess you don"t think he is compet.i.tion?"
Yuhi shakes his head. "That"s not it. You"re okay to love more than one person, Sumire. I remembered after speaking with Rayne, and all this talk about our past lives has made me think. When I first cut that soul bond, I made a decision. No matter what happens, I want you to find your happiness, even if it isn"t with me. I just wanted you to be happy."
"You"re so silly my dear, I love you."
"Me too."
He loves her so much, and that"s why. "I will do anything to keep her safe. First, I have to find a way to get in touch with Lennon. The real Lennon, not the one who has been corrupted and causing Aki to do dangerous things."

They didn"t return to the party, due to the extra days they spent in K. By the time they caught up, the party would have ended, that"s why they headed straight back to Tokyo. Unfortunately, only a day after they returned. Hino said Sumire had to do some scenes for a drama in another city. He knew Sumire had been taking on other work, but the timing was bad. He realized again how much of a fool he was to fight with her and waste the quality time they could have had together.
Yuhi disliked dealing with the leader of Hyou4. Unfortunately, with the Black alice organisation growing more vicious with their attacks. All the groups in the underworld, alliance or not have banded together.
"They"re not so great now without their equipment," Kawa commented.
The shorter one glowered at him. "If I had it, I would kick your a.s.s!"
Suddenly, a foot smashed into his face. It was Chitose.
Raizo looked angrily at Chitose. "There is no need for that, withdraw,"
"You"re not my King, and I don"t take orders from you!"
He proceeded to deal a hard blow to the other one who screamed in pain. Everyone looked on as Chitose beat the h.e.l.l out of the two men, n.o.body interfered.
Well he supposed it"s a good thing that Sumire isn"t here. Despite what she says, he knows how badly she reacts to the sight of blood.
"I guess I can"t rely on you to tell them to stop," Reis.h.i.+ commented to him, who was lazily smoking a cigarette.
Yuhi shrugged. "If you were in his position, what would you do?"
He sighed. "We do need the men alive for questioning,"
"When the ambulance arrives, I will tell him to stop," But for now this is alright. Because he understood how his subordinate felt. Had it been Sumire, she would have burned this entire place to a crisp by now.
Atus.h.i.+ who had gone to inspect the other rooms pulled out an emblem. "I believe this is Ibuki Suigetsu"s mark."
Yuhi sighs deeply. "Is it a coincidence this is happening, right after we returned from K region?"
Atus.h.i.+ shakes his head. "It"s definitely a warning, they know you met up with Sumire"s brother. If you two combined forces, Ibuki Suigetsu would be in trouble since the area he controls is nearby."
"It"s not exactly an alliance. Rayne offered to help if we needed it." Yuhi trails off. "Have we still not found Aki?"
