That wont change

TOH

It makes sense why Sumire would stay in a place like that. 

After shattering their minds, they simply become puppets to manipulate or targets for death. How many times has he stained his hands with blood or used psychological tactics to manipulate a broken soul? 

It didn't matter before, because he didn't have anything important to him. But now that he does, he wonders if he can truly shatter and manipulate another person. Since he met Sumire he hasn't been sent on such a job. However the details on that message, are the same ones he has received the past few years to break someone.

Can he truly do it?

He supposes he will find out. But, even if he does. He doesn't want Sumire to find out. She isn't the type of person to judge them for their past, after all she stayed with him despite knowing his terrorist past. She even said that hearing about it made her feel closer to him. 

Sumire is no saint. But there are certain things she won't tolerate and he knew what those things were.

His thoughts break off hearing the sound of the hair dryer. Sumire was standing by the door, drying her hair with the hairdryer. She had her phone on one hand.

"Tonight? Fine I'll go but you owe me. Mmmm. I'm not sick, I just had a minor wound."

Toh rolled his eyes at that comment. A minor wound? Honestly, he wants to advise against her going anywhere. But, he has never stopped her from doing whatever she wants. He isn't going to start either. Sumire already warned him about having to go on random missions, and their time together being cut short. After a few minutes, Sumire finishes her call. "Toh."

"Yeah. I heard. Should I come along?" Toh offered as he finished drying her hair.

He doesn't like the idea of her leaving his side in her current state. 'I have always acknowledged that she is strong. But, with Lucifer's movements being unpredictable. There is a high chance they will run into each other, I can't let that happen.'

However if they do end up meeting, perhaps it will confirm whether Arata's theory is correct. If Sumire is truly the woman, Lucifer is looking for- Toh shakes the thought out of his mind. It's impossible, it has to be impossible.

'I can't hand her over if she does end up being the one. After all, I have seen with my own eyes how lucifer treats his women. Just thinking of Sumire in the place all those women fills him with rage. 

"Really? That would be great." Sumire ran her fingers through his shirt buttons.

"What are you doing beautiful?"

"Something?"

His lips curve to a smile. "I do like this something."

But, even if she is bolder today. He moved her hands away and kissed her fingers. "You're too nervous."

Sumire sighed. "So much for making the first move to attack."

"Were you really trying too?"

"I thought it would be different if I made the first move."

"No need to rush beautiful."

"You really are sweet." Sumire kissed his cheek. "Can I go pick out a dress for tonight?"

"Sure, you can take whatever you want."

'She can take my soul away if she wants.'

Toh chuckled to himself. She really is driving him insane. He walked over to his wine cabinet and pulled out a few bottles. He looks at the three bottles before keeping the strongest one out, and placing the other two away.

After taking a few drinks, he takes his phone out and reads the details of the new mission. The target was a guy called Hanzo Tooru, age twenty sixteen. Toh paused seeing the age, he thought he was young. But, Sumire's age? This is going to be more difficult than he thought.

How can he destroy the mind of someone with the same age as her without feeling anything? 

What did this kid even do anyway? Is it really necessary to shatter his mind-

Toh paused when he read more details. 

'-not part of a group. But loyal to the demon Princess Ibuki Sumire-'

If this mission wasn't trouble before, it was now. The same age factor was difficult to work with. But now it is someone Sumire actually knows? He could try and give this mission to another mind user. He isn't the only one with mind related abilities in the organisation. There are others who can shatter minds.However, if he passes this job onto another person. Lucifer will find out.

'The consequences for disobeying his orders, I should know it very well.' Then again Lucifer has always toyed around with the idea of him disobeying him one day.

'It shall be amusing.' Toh sighed deeply. Instead of being punished, no doubt Lucifer will find it amusing. He won't shrug it off, but he can't see himself receiving the same punishment as all the others.

His thoughts break off hearing approaching footsteps. 

Toh almost dropped the wine in his hands when he saw her. He knew she would look good in any of the clothes he made. But, this was on another level. "Come here."

Sumire nodded and walked over. The minute she was in front of him. He brought his lips to her neck, kissing and sucking that soft skin over and over. He kept sucking on that spot, making sure the marks he left turned as red as the dress she currently wore.

"Toh? Are you impressed?" Sumire finally managed to say. 

He chuckled. "Very."

He didn't think she would look this good wearing this dress. Should he make some more in this style? Maybe some casual wear. Red looks very good on her. 

"Nnngh." Sumire moaned softly. "Is this an assault?"

Toh chuckled as he continued to kiss her neck. "It's a reward."

"Men." Sumire mumbled as she ran her fingers through his hair.

Should he tell her that he really likes it when she does that? Then again, he likes everything she does to him. These days he finds, even when she simply holds his hand or their fingers brush against one another. It sends his body into a heated frenzy.

He has remained respectful of her choices since before they even started dating. That won't change, even though his desires for her are going out of control.
