Chapter 266: 265 If you are lonely I will hold you tightly

"I did a few minutes ago." He turned to the screen of his laptop. "There was a blackout in the imperial hospital and everybody was brutally murdered. The culprit has still not been found. The search team is still searching for any survivors."

"This was not released on the news but large amounts of blood from the blood bank also went missing that same night."

"Blood?"

Could it be the culprit is one of their kind? This is dangerous. 

"I take it you're familiar with this attack pattern?"

Yuhi sighed deeply. "Most likely but I won't be too sure unless I see with my own eyes. We will return in two days, so.."

"I understand, I shall make arrangements for you. I am also involved in this case since that was the hospital where the elder was staying. His body was not found amongst the dead but it is a horrific sight. I do not think there are any more survivors."

Yuhi clenched his fist when he heard those words. After a few more words with Makoto, he ended the call. If there are still people missing but they can't find the bodies it's obvious what happened to them. 

This is a bad situation. If the police investigate the wounds on the dead properly then they will notice the human-made bite marks. They would conclude that it is the work of vampires or something but that is if somebody ordinary investigates. 

In the forensics department in this town, there is a troublesome person there. If he looked into it then he will notice right away. Humans with evolved genetics surpassing that of the human race. Humans with blood cravings like vampires but still regain their humanity. Powers that should not exist in this day and age. 

He turned his attention to his laptop and continued reading the news. Due to the scale of the incident the reports were rather detailed, they even attached these gruesome images. Normally such reports are censored by the government but not this time. It is strange that nobody in the underworld society tried to cover this up. Normally if the government does not act those people will.

Those people did not make a move. Why? Not even the organization that Sumire is in did anything. A deep sigh escaped his lips. Despite the detailed report it was difficult to get any information. It was killing him not to use his ability to go there and investigate. But his gaze fell away from the laptop and back on Sumire again.

She was still sleeping peacefully. From the looks of it, it does not seem like she will wake up anytime soon. 

..

It was around ten at night when Sumire finally woke up. He spent the last few hours carefully reading over the reports and planning his next move when he felt her stir awake. He quickly placed the documents down and turned to her.

"Nnn ….Yuhi?"

"Hey, there sleeping beauty."

"The ti---" Sumire immediately sat up. "Sorry---I…"

At that comment, Sumire stood up from the bed. She opened the large windows and stepped out onto the deck. Right at that moment, they see bright bursts of different color hues illuminate the sky. He watched as her eyes sparkled like a child.

The vibrant colors of the fireworks stretched across the night sky, those small bursts slowly turned to words.

"Your new song lyrics?" Sumire said, bewildered.

"Mmmm like it?"         

Sumire laughed softly. "It is romantic. But if I look away for a moment I will miss the words."       

"Well, any parts you miss I will sing it for you. Rather." He placed her down on the decking chair. "While I planned to do this over a nice candlelight dinner this will do as a substitute."

Yuhi picked up his guitar from the side. "Now then I shall sing for this lovely lady in front of me."

"Yuhi-uh--"

Yuhi leaned forward and kissed her forehead. "I want to give you everything and so much more."

He wants to give her the world and wants her to smile more. 

He sang the first few phrases but then saw that clouded look in her eyes and stopped.

"You really are a genius Yuhi-san," Sumire mumbled. "Your songs are so beautiful. I don't understand how you can create music like this." She trailed off and weak laughter escaped her lips. "My songs are too dark, gloomy, and depressing. I can't write anything bright like this."

His eyes widened when he heard those words. To think she still had thoughts like this. From the very day they met during that snowy night, no even long before then he already understood. This girl there is something special about her. She is like him and yet different.

Yuhi continued to sing the rest of the song.

"....I'm drowned by your presence

But I come out ashore

I can't let the darkness return

I breathe a sigh for love's sentiment

I believe in a miracle, for the changes in you

Like the strong and gentle wind that always embraces you

If I can be by your side

then I will disappear into the sky

No matter what, I want to fly to you

If you are lonely, I will hold you tightly, protecting you…" Yuhi sang.

Such gentle lyrics and singing in a tone he has never done so before. "This song is only possible because of you." He mumbled as he caressed her red-stained cheeks.

"Yuhi…"

"The day is almost over, what do you want to do?"

Sumire sighed. "Yuhi-san this is what makes you dull, I would like it if you're more assertive."

'She has to get the last word in huh?' But this is one of the many things he likes about her. If only they could continue to spend their days peacefully like this. However the moment they return she will once again have to fight. 

This girl who dislikes violence more than anything and yet can't stay away from it. No matter what happens he will embrace her tightly.
