"You see, people like us tend to drink the blood of somebody they treasure. This is why we could live in hiding this entire time since we do not necessarily have to drink a random person's blood. If we take the blood of somebody we treasure, that is enough to satisfy our blood lust, so we can live like a normal person without getting any cravings. But if we drink from somebody, we treasure it also means we can read their thoughts."

At some point in Yuhi's explanation, Sumire became very embarrassed; her cheeks turned red. Wait--wait a minute, does that mean he can see what she is thinking? Oh no, no that-- her thoughts broke off when Yuhi grabbed her arm.

"That is why even if you don't tell me, I can tell you are fond of me. That is why I can tolerate everything."

What--what is that supposed to be? If he says stuff like that, then how is she supposed to? She felt a familiar feeling on her lips and froze on the spot.

"It seems I won't be able to let you go again." Yuhi brushed his lips against her ear.

"I think that is a problem."

..

It was not easy for her to escape Yuhi for a bit, and even then, why did she feel that he knew what she was doing? Her gaze fell on the man in front of her. This guy is the information broker Kuga she previously saw that time Sano first followed her. When Yuhi was about to kiss her again, she saw him from the corner.

She sighed deeply. She made up some random excuse on the spot, but it most likely won't last for long.

Moreover, did they have to go to a place like this? The area Kuga brought her to was something similar to the red light district from ancient times. The moment they entered the streets, she saw women on the side lines. They are wearing so much makeup, is that necessary?

"It's been so long. Won't you play with us?" All the girls giggled.

"Sorry ladies, not tonight," Kuga apologized as he pulled her closer to him.

Sumire rolled her eyes. If he didn't have important information, she would have stepped on his fo- actually, she could do that, no?

"This one is enough."

Sumire stepped on his foot, and Kuga yelped, causing the girls to look puzzled. "My dear is getting jealous."

"Aw, we don't want you to get in trouble." The girls hurriedly left with the same bright smiles on their faces.

Despite the overdone makeup and odd clothing. "They're so beautiful."

"Well, so are most girls in the Yakuza world," he joked.

She rolls her eyes at that comment. Making a joke about the Yakuza, only he can get away with something like that. Once they got a table, Sumire noted that it was in a rather enclosed space once they got a table than the rest.

When girls get led away to a private room like this, of course, it's a clear trap; anyone knows that.

Sumire knew she didn't need to worry. Despite that display earlier, she knew that the violet-haired boy had no interest in her that way. Even if he was thinking about doing something like that, he wouldn't because of those two. She didn't know what the reason was, but Kuga seems to follow their orders.

"Why did you come here? Is the matter that private?" she asked once the waiter had given them their orders.

"Yeah. I didn't mention this earlier when I was speaking with Momoi. But I think she more or less got the message."

"You were with Futaba?"

Momoi Futaba was a famous model and also her best friend.

"The situation has escalated, and Aki is in trouble. But even then, they can't kick him out since only Aki can solve that matter. I mentioned previously that there are many people obsessed with Aki, right?"

"Mmm."

"But I'm sure had Aki not interfered in the matters of the Yakuza, then none of this would have had to happen. Do you know the reason why she interfered?"

The reason, huh? Come with me. Even now, she could remember it clearly, the man who saved her when she wandered through the forest.

"He rescued somebody." She admitted rather vaguely. Sumire still wasn't too sure whether or not she could trust this person after all. It would be bad if he double-crossed them.

Kuga fiddles with his drink. "Hmm, I see. I'm guessing it was a girl."

Gah, did she make it that obvious? But she barely gave out any details.

"Cause if you think about it, if it were just a normal person, he would have left them be."

Sumire didn't say anything. Indeed Aki is that type of person. It surprised her when he saved her. She already heard the rumors regarding him. Although she is not the type of person to believe in rumors, she took them with a grain of salt. There are some truths mixed with lies.

But if he puts it that way, then that means Aki-san got into trouble because of.

"Anyhow, you should take this."

Kuga slid a bag in front of her. Sumire looked at him puzzled, yet he ushered her to open it. She did so only to find a metallic piece of object.

"A real gun?"

Kuga nodded, causing her to immediately let go.

"Why are you giving this to me?"

"Kiragi Asuka reacted negatively after the others one's death, that one did something quite reckless after hearing you were involved. They've already gone after her once, and she barely survived."

Sumire blinked. Ah, she wonders why Asuka came here. She has yet to meet up with her friend, but she did find her appearance here in Tokyo strange.

"But more than that, Momoi Futaba. She will die."

Sumire clenched her fist. "You can't know that for sure."

"I can, and the ginger head that stayed behind here to become a teacher's assistant? She, too, I can guarantee, will fall under some danger. After all, Tachibana Masaru is also someone that guy dislikes."

Kuga is making it sound like the inevitable has happened already. People will die, huh?

Sumire closes her eyes and picks up the gun once more. "Will it come down to this?"

"If you've fought his men before, then you'll know."

Indeed she saw the weapons each time; she made sure to carefully dodge the bullets. After all, a single strike can be painful.

"Now, now I wonder since when did I approve that you can use toys like this?" A familiar voice said.

Sumire looked at the source and found a tall young man with short dark brown colored hair and grey colored eyes, and he wore a white lab coat and a dark black suit.

She sighed when she recalled the message she received not too long ago. She thought it was strange that he knew.

It seems like it is about to begin Yuhi, that cruel and twisted game.
