Sano noticed it when he mentioned Sumire's name but people gave him an odd look. When he touched her cheek their surroundings became hectic and others who were silently watching approached them which led to this situation.

Currently he had Sumire backed against the wall, her face flushed due to the amount of alcohol she drank. The sight looked very alluring. It did not help that their lips were practically touching and the distance between their bodies was so small. Wow....

"If you take advantage of me, I'll kill you."

Sano stepped back and looked away. "I won't do anything." He still felt uncomfortable after what happened earlier.

'I could have gone home but for some reason I thought it was bad to leave her here alone.'

When she didn't answer her messages he panicked even more. What if those people did something to her? She only learned about her powers recently so he assumed that she did not have control of them. But when he saw the faces of those looking at her, he could see the fear in their eyes.

Exactly what did she do to get them so scared? He did not see any signs of a fight.

Sumire chuckled and entered the room. "So you at least value your life?"

"...so this is why you didn't stop me."

"It's troublesome to ask Razel. That guy has a poker face, moreover he doesn't see me as a woman but a monster."

"..."

So she knows he sees her as a woman and yet he watched as she slumped down on the bed. 'Way too defenceless.' Then again it was like that in the past too. When he first asked her to come over she went with him right away. It was the first night they met too.

Back then he thought she was an easy and foolish woman. That innocent act of hers he would tear it down and shape her into his ideal woman. However at some point he stopped thinking such things and enjoyed her company. When did it start?

When did he stop thinking of using her for his own gain? When did he stop having such thoughts and genuinely desire to be with her? Sano recalled the words from the guys in Quatro light and sighed. Lately it is difficult to get near her because of them. Unlike Terashima, those people do not leave any openings.

"So how long are we staying here?"

"That depends. When you have sex how many rounds do you have?"

Wait what did she just ask? 'Such careless behaviour.' Sano reluctantly gave her an estimate and she remained unphased.

"Then we will stay as long as then."

How could she ask him something like that so casually? Is it because she no longer has feelings for him?

The reason why she can act so indifferent is because he no longer means anything. He already figured that was the case before but when she openly shows this behaviour he does not know what to do.

"Why are you so confident? That I will not do anything?"

"You value your life."

'Is she serious about the killing thing?' No, there is no need to ask such a foolish question. Didn't he see it when he looked into her eyes that time? She was serious, she would do so without hesitation.

"Also, maybe I do trust you."

"Maybe?"

"Sano you-" Sumire paused. "-are still lying to me."

"About?"

"That time you told me to meet your friends, you set me up. For the first time in my life I felt fear that I didn't before. I felt powerless."

"Sumire I----"

"Saying sorry? But you know it's too late for that.

"Then what can I do?"

What does he do to change her mind?

"You sound so desperate. I know your serious Sano. But you have to understand something too. Just dating Yuhi is complicated for me."

"Why is it complicated when you like him?"

"Ahaa, I never thought you of all people would say that."

"I really like you, what am I supposed to do?"

"I can't answer that."

She isn't making this easy for him at all. But maybe her heart is still disturbed after what happened with Tsueno Mamoru.

When he learned that the organisation had something to do with that man's death. He conducted his own investigation but all the files from that time were gone. Somebody erased all the records. They did not bother to replace it, they simply got rid of everything with a trace.

He was about to say something when he noticed how pale her complexion was. Her entire face seemed to have lost its colour. Sano recalled the drink she took from the tray of the waitress. Initially that drink was for him but she took it.

"Shit," Sano cursed, realizing as he took out his phone..

The only thing he could do now is to try and get rid of the poison. He remembered the effects of the poison clearly since those people explained everything.

The victim will gradually lose strength in his/her body and slowly their organs would shut down.

"Didnt Hamano tell you?" Sano heard from his boss that Hamano Atushi learned of the poison so it would not be easy for them to use it.

"I knew, but if you drank it you would be in a bad position right?"

Why is she even considering what happens to him? This girl is still as foolish and naive as ever. She always does these foolish things that make him worry.

Sano deeply sighed. 'It can't be helped now.' He slowly removed his shirt before he turned to the girl. She will most likely kill him for this when she wakes up but he has no choice. He tore the girl's clothes from her body and searched for the mark.

He located it easily a small red mark in the center of her chest slowly turning black. He lowered his face and brought his lips to the mark and started to suck on it.

"Yuhi…"

Sano released the flesh from the hold his mouth had on it and spat the blood and poison out onto his now discarded shirt.

He cupped her cheeks. "Terashima is at the hospital, remember? Razel is there, he can take care of things."

Actually with Terashima's personality, that man probably left the hospital already.

"No you're lying."

His gaze darkened when he heard those words from her. She said them so easily and with such conviction too. 'How irritating, she hates him this much?'

"When did I lie to you?"

Even when he saw other girls when they dated he told her right away. He didn't bother making an excuse. Soft moans escaped her lips and his lips curved into a grin satisfied.

'She is making such cute sounds right now.'

His mouth was filled with the poison, and yet he knew it would have no affect on him. Those people already gave him the antidote to the poison, he drinks it every two and three days.

After a few minutes he felt sweat drench his entire body. 'This is bad.'

He almost sucked all the poison out, he should be able to stop soon.

"San...why are you doing this?"

"Poison." It was just one word but he knew she understood from the way she slowly nodded her head.

Sano raised his mouth and it landed on her lips again. "San?"

"I'm taking advantage of this." Why would he waste this opportunity? This is the closest he will be able to get with her.

After a few hours however Sano stopped when he got most of the poison out.

He scooped her up in his arms and walked over to the bathroom. Sano opened the doors and a relieved sigh passed his lips. 'At least they warmed the water beforehand.'

"I'll wait outside." Sano trailed off. "Can you move?"

She shook her head and Sano placed her on the tub. "Tell me if you need anything."

'I need to get away from her quickly, this is driving me crazy.' She slowly nodded and Sano rushed out of the room.

What on earth is this situation? That girl making that kind of face for somebody like him.
