SUMIRE

It never occurred to her that Toh would be upset about her memory loss. After all, she recognized him immediately and still has memories of their time together. Some of the details, like their break up, was a blur to her. However she simply assumed they broke up on mutual terms and he agreed with her returning to Lucifer. Toh's reaction however makes her think there is something she is missing.

She wants to ask him more. But, it would be a betrayal to Lucifer. 'I told Lucifer that I was okay with not having my memories, that I wanted to choose him. However, when I see Toh like this and when I visit Hino in the dungeons. When I listen to the songs on the music player, I start to desire it. The memories I shouldn't want.'

Sumire opened her mouth to speak to Toh when she hears a familiar voice in her mind.

'My heart?'

'Ye-yes? I'm here.'

'Thank goodness. I heard about the miasama, are you in the bedroom?'

'Ah yes, I made it on time. Err, I-'

'Is Jacks with you? Or even your lady in waiting?'

'Um no, but I'm not alone. Actually um, Toh is here-'

She hears Lucifer sigh in relief causing her to blink startled.

'When I informed him abruptly that I had to leave, he cursed saying I should have told him sooner. It seems it took him a few extra days to wrap up his other work.'

So, the reason Toh is so tired has nothing to do with his work with Lucifer. She wonders what kind of other job he has to make him this tired. 'My heart? Are you alright?'

'Yes. I wish you told me about this though, if Toh didn't come. I would have been sat in this room frightened alone.'

'I do apologize, but I wouldn't have left you alone. Jacks would have been with you.'

Right, Jacks is an exception to the security rule. It still feels weird that he would have easily entrusted her to another man. Then again she has noticed that Lucifer's jealousy is limited to certain people.

'Do not be afraid. It shall pass, nothing will harm you.'

Sumire paused sensing something unusual about his tone.

'Is something wrong? It sounds like you are out of breath?'

'Do not worry, I am just in the middle of exterminating the cause of the border trouble.'

She felt her heart beat increase at those words. 'Why are you talking to me when your in the middle of a fight? Are you crazy? Focus.'

She hears Lucifer chuckle and she tried to block him out but she felt the familiar sensation of his shadows on her again.

'S-stop that!'

'I like listening to you talk wife. Your voice is so beautiful.'

Now he is flirting with her, he really is crazy.

'I know your strong. But even strong people have their weakness/ Lucifer, be careful. You have to return to me.'

'I understand my heart. This shouldn't take more than a few days. I may not be able to talk to you during the duration but when I finish, you will hear from me again.'

'How many days?'

'Four days max, I doubt I will be gone longer. But if there is a chance, remember what we discussed before I left. With Toh around it should be easier.'

'I-I understand, but please return soon.'

She doesn't understand it very well, but she is getting a feeling that something bad will happen. Lucifer is very strong, and he hasn't even shown her the full extent of his abilities before. 'I love you.'

Sumire blinked startled but when she tried to reply, she could no longer hear Lucifer's voice. In fact there was something blocking her from his mind. He must have put a shield up. She supposes it would be difficult for him to focus. Still, this must be the first time he has shielded his thoughts from her. She turns her attention to Toh who had been silent this entire time. "Beautiful, you smell like cigarettes."

Sumire's cheeks flushed realizing that Toh was burying his face in her neck. "W-what are you doing?" She exclaimed.

"I just wanted to make sure. I thought so the last time I saw you, but the scent was faint. It's very strong now." Toh glances around and picks up a packet of cigarettes and a lighter which she left on the night stand earlier.

If Lucifer was around, she would have hidden it in her secret compartment. But, because of his absence. She decided to keep it somewhere within sight. She wasn't worried about others finding it either, since only her ladies in waiting and Jacks could enter this place.

"These-"

"Err, I-I can explain. I'm not actually smoking." Sumire stammered.

"But the smell is sticking to you?"

Her already red stained cheeks turned redder at those words. "I just light them up, long enough for the scent to stick."

Oh no, Toh is going to think she is weird. Although he probably thinks that anyway.

Toh was looking at her with a curious gaze which he follows with a sigh. "I suppose if your doing things like this, then you will regain your memories sooner."

Sumire looks at him startled. "Oh."

She wasn't expecting that. Her gaze fell on the cigarettes. Did she used to do something like this?

Toh nodded in agreement almost like he could understand what was going on in her mind.

"When we met again after our break up, I would catch the scent of cigarettes on you. But I knew you didn't smoke. So I watched you one day, and found you lighting up cigarettes when you thought nobody was looking. It seems even without memories you'd

Thump.

Thum.

But this scent reminds her of Sora, that's why she started to do it. She already suspected it before but this is confirmation. She must have met Sora in this life time.

'There is a new thread of fate connecting us. Threads of fates don't disappear. If so, from now on our lives will be connected.'

If she knew Sora in this life time, they must have been in a relationship. There is no way either of them would be able to deny their connection with each other.
