Chapter 1119 Give me a sign



Chapter 1119 Give me a sign

SUMIRE

More importantly, she has a secret weapon. Her dearest. No matter how deep she drowns, he can easily pull her up. 

God, please allow her to find the light again. 'And give me a sign, that those kids, that their souls passed on peacefully.'

Her thoughts break off hearing a clattering sound. She turned to look on her left to find a mountain dog leaving from the shed beside the wooden shrine. Seeing the door open, she couldn't help but take a peek inside. Nobody's here right?

When she entered though she noted that there were large amounts of trash bags, bottles, food scraps. Books, a flash light beside a large sleeping bag. 

Is someone living here?

Sumire picked up the book closest to the sleeping bag. 

The Legend of Shishupal.

Kamui.

An image of black hair dawned in a green and black striped kimono appeared in her head. Aki-san, so he really must have come here. She glanced around, it seems he was hiding here for a while. What exactly was he up to?

No way, he would never read these types of books. He's never been the type. 

'I wish I was normal. Despite what it seems like I really do crave that lifestyle. But for a monster like me, this is the only path possible. '

It can't be his, and yet his scent is all over this place. Sumire knew Aki followed her to Tokyo, she knew that when she returned to star town, all the attacks in Tokyo stopped. So she knew he followed.

He never liked staying in the main headquarters and now that he has been possessed? He would stay away even more, stay away but also remain near. This is also the type of place he would stay in too.

She scanned the room further to look for more hints but unfortunately aside from the fact that it was messy, there didn't seem to be anything else valuable. He's always been like that, gone one second. Always riding the wind and dancing to his own pace.

Sumire traces the book with her hands. 'We need you, I need you,'

'You liar, you said as long as you lived, you'd stay by my side. You'd never let me suffer even if I never returned your affections. Liar, liar.'

Thinking of Aki's words back then, Sumire crouched down and sobbed. It wasn't Aki speaking then, it was Lennon. Now that she thought about it, she saw the shift in his eyes. Her thoughts break off hearing another sound. Did the dog return? Sumire stood up and at the entrance of the cabin was someone she hadn't seen in six months. 

"Lex?!!!"

The one standing there was none other than Lucifer. She hasn't seen him in half a year. No matter how many times she tried calling him through the bond, he wouldn't reply.

Sumire stared at him cautiously. 'I haven't seen him in half a year and in that time I have heard terrible reports of him going on a rampage.'

She reached for her blade just in case but found herself staring at his face.

Oh...his eyes are normal.

"It's me." He mumbled.

She immediately relaxed and walked over. The moment she got close, Lucifer pulled her into his arms. At first he didn't say anything and simply buried his face in her neck.

"I have missed you, I need you so much." Lucifer mumbled.

"Then you can drink."

She had so much she wanted to talk to him about. 'I need to ask him about the fifth life, but if I do, what if I trigger him and he gets angry?'

Lucifer pins her down and his hungry lips are on her neck and she shudders at the sensation. 

"I have been recalling terrible memories since I last saw you." Lucifer said as he briefly stopped.

"Memories?"

"Of me killing children and you screaming."

Sumire froze hearing those words. Is it because she has been having those nightmares more frequently? Even if Yuhi is her soul bond partner, it seems she still has some type of connection with Lucifer. The blood bond, is that the reason Lex can talk to her through her mind?

"Are these related to your nightmares?" Lucifer muttered.

Sumire nodded and Lucifer stopped drinking and he sat her on the wooden counter, and placed his cloak around her shoulders. 

"Explain it to me, while I am still like this."

Sumire didn't know where to start, but as she looked into his eyes. She knew that he wanted the truth rather than a lie. Taking a deep breath she tells him.

Lucifer's gaze dimmed and when she got to the part about him killing her kids, he visibly went pale and cringed.

She tugged on his arm. "Will you tell me why you did it? Do you-"

Lucifer frowned. "I shall be honest with you. My memories after the third life are rather hazy."

Sumire froze. So, he doesn't remember killing her kids? 'I want to get angry! I wanted to demand an explanation the next time I saw him, but seeing him like this, I know he isn't lying.'

"I recall you falling for the foreign prince, and you going to live with the mercenary gang. But, other than those details? I do not recall much. I don't even know how the fourth and fifth life ended."

Now that he mentioned it, she doesn't recall how the fourth one ended too. She probably wouldn't have remembered the fifth either, if he didn't kill her with his own hands.

"Your saying, what I have been seeing in my dreams is correct? I harmed your kids?"

"Yes." Sumire said with a trembling voice, because she knew what he was going to ask next.

"Your kids, but not ours?"

Sumire clenched her fist and nodded. "Lennon's children."

She half expected him to get angry but he didn't, there was nothing but pain in his eyes.

"Five children, those were all Lennon's?"

"Lex-"

"In the six months apart from you, I have realized many things. I must have committed some grave sin to not have a physical body in the sixth and seventh life."
