Hiriji

After sending Lucifer off. Hiriji decided to check on Sumire. It didn't take long before he found her alongside Mashima Toh. Seeing Sumire laugh, Hiriji sighed in relief. It seems Lucifer is correct about Mashima Toh's influence on Sumire. If she can smile like this even without her loved one by her side, then he doesn't have to worry.

"How long do you intend to follow me Mamoru-san?"

Mamoru laughed. "You were always a sharp one."

"..."

"I just thought we could chat, we are on the same side are we not?"

Hiriji sighed. "Lucifer isn't stupid. He knows you have a hidden agenda."

"Yet he allows me into his ranks regardless. It says a lot about how twisted he is."

"Did you come here just to say that?"

"No, but I do want to know what your thinking."

He sighed again and continued walking. He knew Mamoru-san wouldn't give up. But, if he has to answer this question. He wants it to be in his own terms. Preferably in a place where there is no chance of Sumire overhearing him.

"Your acting like a villain, but you kept your word. You betrayed the others, after Ki was already in Tokyo."

"..I do not resent her Mamoru-san. This is just simply something that has to be done, for the sake of the evolution of evolved humans."

'and for her protection.' Hiriji however kept that to himself. Mamoru-san can't learn about it, because if he does. Eventually it will reach Sumire's ears.

????????????????????????????????.????????????

Mamoru frowned. "Do you really think whatever deal you made with Lucifer will work out?"

"I understand what type of person he is. However, sometimes it is necessary to side with evil in order to make changes."

"The changes your hoping for. Ki also wishes the same. You know before she lost her memory regarding her powers, she was working on a way for evolved humans, for hanyous to co-exist with humans."

"I am aware."

"Then if your goals are the same, why are you standing on the opposite side?"

Hirijj didn't say anything and looked up at the sky.

"Ki doesn't hate you either." Mamoru started.

"I know."

How can he not know? There was no hatred in her eyes. Just pain.

'I thought she would resent me. After all I attacked the school, and all our friends. But, she doesn't hold even an inch of resentment for me.'

"Did she already know?" Hiriji mumbled. 

Mamoru nodded. "Yeah. When we reunited in the facility, it was one of the first few things she mentioned. She said to me she has known for a long time now. I think it was a year and a half after the incident?"

Hiriji froze. But that would mean Sumire allowed him to stay by her side all these years. Was she hoping deep down that he would change his mind?

It could have happened, during those years he experienced peace and happiness he never thought was possible. But then Lucifer started to attack Star town, and even appeared before her. The reason Lucifer did that, was probably to remind him of their agreement. It was a warning. 

His thoughts break off when Mamoru started coughing.

Hiriji immediately bent down. His face colour turned pale seeing the blood on the ground. "I thought you were healed."He shakes his head. "He promised that once you got your powers back, your illness would-be--"

Mamoru laughed weakly. "I wondered why it was so easy to walk into the facility. It was you?"

"Mamoru, you have to-"

This is bad, if he continues coughing like this his life will be in danger. Before he could do anything, a flash of brown rushed past him and crouched down to help Mamoru.

It was Sumire.

She looked between him and Mamoru and exhaled deeply. She takes out a dagger from her bag and lightly cuts her neck, causing fresh blood to fall.I think you should take a look at

"Ru, drink my blood."

Mamoru shakes his head.

"Please, you know I can't lose you again."

At those words Mamoru lunged for her neck, and Sumire caressed his back as she whispered how much of a fool he was.

'Her blood is special.'

Hiriji closed his eyes and a lilac coloured barrier wrapped around them.

"Lucifer is still around." Mashima stepped forward with a frown. "I told you before not to draw blood with him nearby."

Sumire laughed softly. "Don't worry, I know you'll protect me."

"Your too careless beautiful."

"I know." Sumire turned to Mamoru. "But, I noticed it too. When he gave blood to Huan. Ru's become a hanyou too, the reason the experiment with san succeeded was because they used the results from Ru's experiment. If so, then only my blood can help him."

At those words Mashima Toh shook his head. "Don't make this a habit. You already have to provide for Nagawa."

"If you're in your hanyou state and let them drink from you then, it should reduce the damage." Hiriji spoke up.

Sumire turned to him and Hiriji felt his heart beat increase.

"Sorry, I shouldn't-"

"How am I supposed to do that?"

Hiriji blinked at her question. Could it be, this entire time she hasn't activated her hanyou mode but has been using her powers, drinking and giving blood? She really hasn't changed, she is still the same careless and reckless person.

He quickly explained and Sumire paused. "Is there a book or anything, I could learn more about this?"

"There is one. It's called Mephisto."

"Hm, I got it."

This is awkward, once Mamoru-san has drunk enough blood. He ought to leave. Still, sitting beside her like this is very odd. Her hair has gotten so long. She has always kept her hair short so it's odd seeing her like this. It suits her.

"Ru." Sumire whispered. "You really should have told me. I know you've always sacrificed yourself to protect me. But this is too much. Don't you owe me for everything? You already left me to suffer once, if you do it again I really will get angry at you. If you leave again, I'll burn this world to ashes."

Mamoru looked up briefly and laughed. "Gee Ki, your threatening me now?"

"Only I can threaten you fool. Are you fine? I think you should drink a bit more."

Mamoru shook his head and pulled away as he stretched his arm. "I feel fine already." He trailed off and patted his shoulder. "Let's head back together."

Sumire quickly stands up with Mashima's help. "Ru, are you coming to my concert?"

"I wouldn't miss it for the world." Mamoru slung his arms around his shoulders. "Alright, let's go back to the evil boss."

Hiriji could only nod, as he briefly glanced back at Sumire who bowed at him. He quickly turned away not wanting to see the look on her face. After walking for a few minutes Hiriji noted how Mamoru-san's movements were sluggish and he sighed.

"You should have drunk some more."

Mamoru laughed. "It's fine, I have managed to keep the blood lust at bay."

"But now that you've drunk from her once, you'll definitely crave more." Hiriji trailed off. "I heard that Sumire had an opportunity to go to the US with M5, but she rejected it because she wanted to stay here for you. You should allow her to help you."

"Ki talked about how much I sacrificed for her just now, but the same goes vice versa. That girl has already sacrificed a lot for me. All I want from her now is for her to be happy with the person she loves, that is enough for me."

If only that was possible, he would also wish the same thing for her. But Lucifer will not let her go.
