HINO

Normally that would be a guarantee to clear the girl from being suspicious. But, considering how a fan was the one who attacked Sumire. \'I should just generally be cautious to anyone who approaches her.\' 

"Still, we can\'t let her go easily." Yuhi mumbled.

Hino saw the dark gaze in Yuhi\'s eyes. "I\'ll handle Kurokawa."

If Yuhi talks to her, the girl will end up injured and that will cause so many issues. 

Kurokawa aside, he should check out her other fans. Her fanclub website may provide more clues then they may think. The site, and the list of fans who are members of the entertainment industry. 

"Who\'s the culprit?" Yuhi asked.

"The one who stabbed her was a fan, like you heard from the news report. But, the real culprit was a reporter..that had been following Sumire from star town. He fed information to one of Sumires die hard fans. Sumire let her guard down because not only was he a fan, it was someone who has been supporting her since the very start."

Yuhi\'s gaze darkened as he clutched Sumire\'s hand tightly.

"That bastard again. I knew I shouldn\'t have left him off. Do you remember that reporter I ended up lashing out on when Sumire first came to Tokyo?"

Hino frowned. "Was it the same guy?"

"After I hurt him, Sumire sent him to the hospital to get treated and even paid for his treatment." Yuhi sighed. "If I knew the bastard was going to cause trouble, I would have had him locked up in the Hyou4 cells."

His sweat fell. "I don\'t think they would accept non evolved humans."

"I\'ll assume Hyou4 has the fan now. What about the reporter?"

"In the Holy knights cells. Aki may not be around right now. But Tsueno has just as much authority. Those who didn\'t know he was alive thought he was a ghost though. It caused quite the fuss. Kain Ryuuji also gave the Tokyo branch instructions to follow Mamoru\'s lead regarding Sumire\'s incident."

Yuhi let\'s go of Sumire\'s hand and stands up. "I\'ll also leave for a bit. Can you stay here with her?"

"You don\'t have to ask. But you-"

A dark aura wrapped around Yuhi and Hino shuddered. 

"I\'m going to have a word with our little friend."

\'I doubt it will end up as a simple talk. But, it\'s better if he unleashes that rage now.\' 

"I\'ll protect her with my life. This time, nobody will get near her." Hino declared.

Yuhi nodded as he bent down and kissed Sumire\'s lips. Hino would like to say it was a gentle kiss, but with his tongue entering her mouth like that. Hino\'s cheeks reddened and he looked away.

"It would have been nice if that woke her up." Yuhi laughed weakly. "Brat, I\'ll have to think of different ways to kiss you, since your clearly not satisfied."

Hino could only watch Yuhi walk away, with such hazard looking eyes. He turned his attention to the girl on the bed. She looked so peaceful, almost like she was simply sleeping and not in a mini coma. 

\'I\'m really sorry Sumire. I should have been there, I have no excuse for not being around.\'I think you should take a look at

Especially after having that conversation with Nakara. It\'s not like he didn\'t have any information about those hostile to her behaving oddly. He could have easily prevented this situation.

Holy Knights, Tokyo Branch, Cells.

YUHI 

The Holy Knights Tokyo branch have always acted like the main branch of the Holy knights. Because of the members belonging to this branch\'s haughty behaviour, others think they are the main branch too. But if that were the case, then the leader should reside here. 

It didn\'t take long before he reached the entrance of the underground prison. He was still only at the entrance but he could already hear the screams echoing through the stone walls. Yuhi exhaled deeply as he stepped further inside. He has always hated how the Holy knights dealt with the people they captured. While the majority are heinous criminals that do not deserve to live. There are some people here who are simply labelled as dangerous because of the powers they have.

Sumire has done her best to make the condition for those people better. But, it seems that only applies to the captives in Star town. Here in the Tokyo branch, no prisoner is shown mercy. No matter how small their crime is.

There wasn\'t a single trace of light anywhere, not even a small lantern. Yuhi didn\'t need it, and so did most evolved humans. There were a few guards at the front, when they saw him they nodded.

"Cell furthest at the bottom, we wanted to separate him from the others. There are quite a few prisoners here who like Miss Sumire after all."

Right, because Sumire shows mercy on those who haven\'t shed that much blood. 

"I would bring you down there, but-" The guard trailed off. His gaze dimmed. "I had to take the shift at the entrance. If I stayed down there, I would have ripped him to shreds myself."

Yuhi patted his shoulder. "I\'ll be inflicting the pain, don\'t worry. I\'ll avenge her properly."

The guard and his companions nodded as they bowed.

The more he walked down, the more high pitched screams he heard. The further down he went, the smell of blood became more prominent and he could see several torture devices on the walls. A mixture of screams, agonized yells, death and pain. He briefly steals a glance at the cells and he almost threw up on the spot.

There was a person there, if he can even call them a person was leaning against the cell doors banging against the bars. He looked so malnutritioned, and he was screaming that he never committed a crime.

Yuhi checked the mark on his forehead, indeed to confirm that he was telling the truth. He is simply an evolved human with dangerous powers. 

\'I need to go quickly. But-\'

\'I want to give them a chance. They can\'t control what they are born with.\'

Tsk. Yuhi turned his attention to the man and bent down. He rumaged through his bag and grabbed a loaf of bread and a drink as he slipped it into the cell.

The man looked at him confused. 

"I\'ll be dropping by for a while so I will give you food. I\'ll see if I can move you elsewhere."

Getting him released won\'t be easy. But, if he can at least move him to Hyoyu4\'s cells. He will at least be given a better room, and actual food. He won\'t be beaten up unless he does something. He hates to admit it but Houjo Reishi is actually a fair man.
