Protecting Hinami

A few weeks after the date, Hinami and I took a stroll around the park for a bit and saw some kids playing around in the playground area and Hinami blushed as she watched them. I noticed her gaze at the kids and smiled. She was serious about having kids one day, I could tell from the look in her eyes.

"I want to have a girl when we have our own child." Hinami looked at me and smiled.

"Oh? What's the reason?" I looked at her.

"Well I wanna teach her how to be lady like you know. The world is constantly changing, but for the better. It wouldn't hurt teaching her how to be a lady." She giggled.

"I guess so, with that logic." I smiled and interlocked our fingers together.

We continued our walk and soon made it home. We walked in the house and I closed and locked the door. We went to sit down on the couch and Hinami laid her head on my shoulder. She closed her eyes but didn't fall asleep.

"Darling..let's just stay home for the weekend. You've been doing a lot for me recently.. I'm happy you have, but you should take some time for yourself." She said.

"You sure? Don't you wanna see other places in America?" I looked at her.

"I'm sure.." she looked up at me and rubbed my cheek and smiled.

"Alright then..we can stay home for the weekend." I smiled back at her.

I put on a movie for us to watch and got up to make dinner. Hinami sat on the couch and watched the movie. She loved horror movies, I mean LOVES horror movies. I don't care too much for them but I watch them from time to time. Hinami never flinched at the movies at all. She always watched them with full attention. I nearly spent the entire movie cooking, but it was fine. I walked to her with her plate of food in hand. She happily took the plate.

"Arigato gozaimas, Darling." Hinami smiled and blushed.

"Doitashimashite." I ruffled her hair and walked back in the kitchen and turned the stove off then fixed my plate and went back to the couch and sat beside her and ate my food.

"It's really good as always darling!" She held her cheek and spoke with her mouth full.

"You really shouldn't talk with your mouth full, Hina." I smiled.

"Mmm!" She swallowed her food. "You haven't called me Hina since 10th grade."

"I feel like saying Hinami is too proper, we have been dating for 2 years now." I chuckled and continued to eat.

Hinami looked at me and nodded then smiled happily. She continued to eat and after a few minutes we were done. I took our plates and walked to the kitchen to wash dishes and put the food away.

"I'll be in the shower darling. I'll try to wait for you." She winked and skipped off.

"Yeah.." I blushed and washed the dishes.

I walked to our room after cleaning the kitchen and sat on the bed and looked at my phone. Hinami walked in the room with only a towel on and smirked. She walked to me and sat on my lap facing me. I looked at her and rose an eyebrow.

"No." I said.

"H-Huh? I haven't even said anything yet!" She puffed her cheeks.

"I know you enough to know what you're thinking." I poked her cheek and laughed softly. "Didn't you have enough last week?"

Hinami blushed madly and held her cheeks. "W-W-What are you talking about?! I don't remember such a t-t-thing!"

"Oh really? Waking up in the middle of the night saying-" I was about to continue, but Hinami covered my mouth.

"Mmm..It isn't like I'm embarrassed..but that night..it was more passionate than normal...It got me wanting more and more...Makes me more in love with you..madly in love...I don't know how to explain it but.." she looked at me and blushed.

I removed her hand from my mouth and smiled. "I understand what you mean Hina. Trust me, I've become madly in love with you even more also."

"Really?" She looked at me.

"Really." I responded.

"Really really?" Her eyes sparkled more.

"Really really." I chuckled.

"Really really really? Truly really?" Hinami asked.

"You've said it so much it's started to not sound like an actual word.." I laughed a bit.

"Sorry.." She blushed.

"I'm gonna take my shower now. Just get in bed and I'll be out in a few minutes." I sat Hinami on the bed.

Hinami nodded and went to her side of the bed and crawled in. I went to go take my shower and change in my night clothes then walked into the room and crawled in bed also. Hinami turned her body to me and wrapped her arms around my waist then placed a leg over my body and smiled. I held her close and smiled as well then closed my eyes. She closed her eyes as well and we slowly drifted to sleep.

The next day, I got ready for my daily jogs and Hinami did her everyday activities. As always I locked the door before I left. Hinami turned on the news and heard about a series of home invasions around the neighborhood. She went to go grab a knife and kept it on her person at all times. She wasn't worried, she just didn't want me to come home hurt.

"Home invasions... I couldn't imagine doing that..I do sound like a hypocrite..but I will keep him safe!" Hinami said.

A few hours past and Hinami was sleeping on the couch. She was awoken by the noise of the doorknob. She sat up and looked at the door. She eyed her knife on the table and the door. The person at the door then kicked the door down.

"Get on the ground now!" The man said, holding a gun.

'Gotta get the knife!' Himami thought then was shot at and froze.

"Ain't none of that shit there!" He said and pointed a gun to Hinami's head. "Where's all your valuables at?!"

I stopped at the convenience store to buy some water and decided to call Hinami. I was out for a while so I thought I'd call her just in case she was okay, like I always do when I'm out for a long time. The call went to voicemail. I thought it was weird because whenever I called she'd even answer in her sleep, like it was a sixth sense. I knew something was wrong, so I called again..Same result. I called a third time and got an answer.

"Hello?" The man answered. I froze with shock and anger.

"Who..the hell are you..?" I responded.

"Me? I'm your girlfriend's side piece." He chuckled. "I have her here now..wanna talk to her?"

I ran out the store at full speed and ran home. I didn't think about anything else. Hinami was in danger and I didn't care about anything else but to save her.

"Oh? No answer..must've lost reception." The man looked at Hinami and smirked. "Well since you won't talk I'll take the second most valuable thing.."

"Bastard." Hinami spit in his face. "If I wasn't tied up..I would have killed you in a heartbeat..tortured you until you begged for your life..and even if you begged I'd kill you anyway..just for fun." She glared.

"Sassy woman huh..?" The man wiped the spit off his face and punched Hinami. "Tell me where all the valuable shit is, bitch!"

"Look for it..my boyfriend would be home any second.. you don't have enough time to search..at the rate he's running.. he'll be home in under 3 minutes.." Hinami said.

"Yeah yeah.." He said and searched the drawers.

"Hinami!" I yelled and ran into the house. I looked on the table and grabbed the knife. "I knew it..a break in.." I ran to the room and saw the man and Hinami.

The man looked over and smiled then grabbed Hinami and held the gun to her head. "Now I wouldn't make any sudden moves..take one step closer and I'll blow her brains out."

"You cowardly scumbag!" Hinami struggled and grunted.

"The valuables are up stairs..if that's what you're looking for." I dropped the knife. "You can take them..just leave her alone.." I stepped back.

"Darling..those are your heirlooms.." Hinami said as the man dropped her.

"See how well this plays?" The man walked past me. "You're smart.."

I watched him then tackled him down and the gun shot. Hinami squeaked a bit and covered her ears. I raised the man's head over his head, avoiding being shot.

"You must want to die!" The man said and kicked me off.

My hair shadowed over my eyes and my heart raced. I ran at the man again and grabbed his wrist and pushed him against the wall. The man put the barrel of the gun on my head and pinned me against the wall. His weight overpowered mine, but I didn't care. I have to protect the woman I love. I panted and only saw red at this point.

"Leave us alone!" I grabbed the man's neck and kicked him to the ground, strangling him. I grabbed the knife I dropped and was about to stab him then Hinami stopped me.

"Please..that's enough.." She gently took the knife out my hand. "The police are on their way." She smiled softly.

I let go of the man's neck and looked at him gasping for air. I growled and punched him in his face, leaving him with a bloody nose. I was going to kill him if Hinami hadn't stopped me. I was going to do whatever it took to protect her.

A few minutes later the man came and arrested the man. I watched as the police questioned Hinami. She told them everything she knew and saw then they left. Himami closed the door and looked at the broken lock.

"It's bro-" Hinami was interrupted by a hug from me.

"I'm so sorry..." I quietly sobbed. "I'm so sorry.."

Hinami teared up at my touch and words and hugged back. She had never heard me cry before and by me crying she was heartbroken. I swore on that day to never leave her side, no matter where I have to go..I was taking her with me.
