Chapter 94 - Purple Coloured Poison

It would be inconvenient for them to move right now. So what is wrong with her taking advantage of this moment? Besides, "I am cold." Sumire mumbled. She has been laying down on the ground for the past few minutes already.

Yuhi chuckled. "Seriously you, what do I do with you?"

"Isn't that obvious, I just said it. Let me kiss you."

"Honestly, you need to stop messing with me. But I guess I could take you up on that offer." Yuhi brushed their lips together. "Sumire." He said gently.

Her eyes widened when she heard how gently he said her name. Oh no, she feels like she wants to cry again.

'I am not proud of it but in the past seventeen years of her life, she has not had any experience when it comes to acts of affection or intimacy. I even questioned why couples would do such a thing.'

But now..her gaze fell towards Yuhi. Now she wants everything about this person, she wants to posses him and make him hers and hers alone. Is that wrong of her to think that way? Yuhi started to kiss her then and Sumire allowed him to do whatever he wanted with her.

If it is this person then she could entrust everything to him.

Sumire does not know how long they spend kissing but she does know it was long enough for her to turn out of breath. Strange enough the so called poison had yet to affect either her or Yuhi. How strange, maybe it isn't poison? But then what else could it be?

Her thoughts broke off when Shin re-emerged wearing a protective mask over his face. She spotted two more under his arm.

Shin rolled his eyes when he got closer and tapped Yuhi's shoulder.

Yuhi who was still busy kissing her looked very annoyed but he parted their lips. "What?"

"Mask, wear it. The immunity should only last for a few more minutes."

Immunity? Sumire looked at Shin blankly. What on earth is he talking about? Before she could ask Yuhi sat her up and put the mask on her face. "Alright, is it okay?"

Sumire nodded.

"Then lets go." Yuhi slipped his on and they stood up.

'I don't think I need a mask though.'

If this poison would affect her, would it not have done so by now? But it seems like Yuhi knows a lot more about this than her, so she should stay put.

It seemed like the gas did not just affect the science prep room, the moment they left the room, she saw the purple coloured gas covered the entire hall. "The other people.."

"Most-likely knocked out. Those who were outside got lucky."

Sumire bit her lip when she heard those words. She did not want other people to get dragged into her mess. Those people want her right? Then she ought to go there and her sentence fell short when Yuhi suddenly bent down and kissed her fingertips.

What is he doing so suddenly?

"Sumire."

He only said her name but she felt the emotions behind those words.

Yuhi does not want her to leave his side.

If it were the past her she would have left him without hesitation, but everything is different now. She cannot bring herself to do that now. Can I trust him? That question, I already know the answer to. Not trusting Yuhi means not being able to trust another person ever again.

"So before we move." Shin trailed off. "Which direction do you think we should go?"

"Before that, Sumire." Yuhi turned to her. "What kind of poison do you think this is?"

Her eyes widened when she heard Yuhi's question. She is not shocked because she cannot answer but because she could. It seems like Yuhi-san has investigated not only her likes and dislikes, but other factors too. Normally something like that would upset her, but everything has changed now.

No, it would still upset her if any other person investigated her background. But because this is Terashima Yuhi, how could she possibly get mad at him? Besides he is not the type of person who would use her personal information for malicious reasons.

"A toxic gas, but this is strange." Sumire said. Out of all the toxic gasses out there, it should be closer to bromine but that is not used to target somebody directly. Or rather that gas focuses more on agricultural chemicals, dyes and environmental. It isnt bromine … she paused as she thought it through more. "Something similar to magic?" She mumbled.

She knew the two would give her odd looks, but this was the only explanation for it. To her surprise Yuhi and Shin seemed satisfied with her explanation.

"Well that makes sense." Shin nodded. "We have to go against those huh? Unfortunately I am a mere mortal."

Yuhi sighed. "Troublesome." He turned to her. "Well I guess I have a chance to show of today."

Sumire looked at him with wide eyes. What does he plan to do?

Yuhi bent down and whispered in her ear. "Stay still okay?"

She nodded and in the next second Yuhi covered himself in a black coat and top hat. She blinked when she saw this new appearance. What….?

In that moment she felt several menacing presences and frowned. These people were clearly blood thirsty, she could hear the scrapping of metallic knives on the ground. Distorted sounding voices saying malicious sounding words. Despite the purple fog, when the footsteps stopped. Sumire clearly saw the culprits, all of them wore a mask on their faces.

These people look ridiculous, is this supposed to be a disguise?
