Chapter 15: Starry Skies

I punched the policed right on his jaw then I kicked his gun right off his hand after kicking his guts.

"Hanma Let's go!" I yell, he finished his opponent in one last blow after running towards me, nodding as we ran kicking some of the police who were before us.

They had guns but they weren't shooting. I clenched my jaw as I sprinted towards the man who was holding his gun pointing towards us. *Bang*

I dodged then I jumped as I kicked his chest then I performed a backflip as I landed on the ground gracefully.

"Hanma-k-" I turned to see Hanma-kun coughing blood as he looked at me.

"Hanma-kun!" I rushed to his side as I opened his jacket to see he was shot on the side.

Their target was Hanma-kun. I pulled Hanma-kun inside a dark alley making him sit down.

"Dead or Alive" Was what Kaito reported to me. I gritted my teeth as I took my jacket off then I took a knife out of my holster after cutting the jacket.

"Bite this" I commanded stuffing the jacket on his mouth then I looked at his wound that still had the bullet stuck on it.

I held my breath as I grabbed his hand putting it on my shoulders. Then  I quickly pinched the bullet as he squeezed my shoulders, He screamed in agony as he bit the jacket.

I clenched my jaw as I slowly pulled the bullet my hand was tainted with blood.

"ARGH!!" He screamed, squeezing my shoulders even more.

"Just a little more" I mumbled through the pain, as I pulled the bullet out of his wound.

He panted after I took the bullet then I threw it to the side. I took the ripped jacket wrapping it around his wound that was oozing out with blood.

I pulled him up, putting his arms over my shoulders as we walked out of the alleyway.

"We're almost there." I said. I looked at his face that was full of sweats. Just a little Hanma-kun we'll finally be free.

"I can walk by my own" He mumbled whilst panting as he took his arm out of my shoulders.

"Let's.. go" He said as he turned to me with his cocky smirk. I smiled as we began to run.

How could I forget. Hanma was one of the strongest delinquent before and now.

"WE FOUND THEM!!" I looked behind me and saw the cops with my father on the lead. I clenched my jaw pulling Hanma as we turned to the corner.

Tsk! I didn't expect them to arrive this early.

We took a turn then we ran and ran until we were on a cliff. I panted as I looked at the cliff and under it was the deep sea.

"Stop right there!" We turned to face them then I turned to Hanma who was visibly clenching his jaw.

"You can't escape anymore so surrender Hanma Shuji and (Y/n) Tachibana!" Father said as he pointed a gun at us.

I smiled as I looked at Hanma-kun. "Hanma-kun, I'm sorry"

He turned to me with a confused gaze. I took my necklace off my neck putting it on his palm then I quickly went in front of him as I pushed him off the cliff.

"Wha-" He looked at (Y/n) who was smiling at him as he reached his hand out then *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

"(Y/n)-chan!" He yell as he looked up at the woman who mouthed

"I love you"

"(Y/N)!!" He reached his hand out but it was already too late. His back hitting the cold and salty water.

Meanwhile, "Wh-What did you do to my daughter?!" Yelled Masato to the man who was beside him.

"(Y/n)-chan!" He called as he rushed towards his daughter who was bathing on her own blood.

He put her on his arms as he cupped her cheeks.

"(Y/n)-chan! Why w-" He couldn't continue his words as he cried. "Call the ambulance!" He commanded at the other officers who quickly dialed an ambulance.

Hanma-kun. He must've been inside the boat by now.

I smiled as I looked at the vast and dark starry sky.

"(Y/n)" He called, I hummed in response then suddenly I felt a soft pair of lips on my forehead. I held my breath until he lifted his lips off my forehead.

I looked up at him then he smiled as he spoke. "Let's get married when all of this is done"

"Married?" I asked, my heart started to beat loudly in my chest as I removed my head on his shoulders, turning to the side.

"I-I mean if you want to marry me that is" He mumbled.

"I'd love to!" I replied, raising my tone due to happiness then he quickly turned to me.

"Marrying you and having a little Hanma isn't bad" I smiled, tilting my head to the side.

Right, Marrying Hanma and having a little one isn't bad. I want that future with him but I can't. I want to protect him too. I want him to live.

I slowly closed my eyes, feeling my father's warm touch and his voice was starting to muffle.

Hanma sat on the boat with (Y/n)'s necklace in his hand. He couldn't believe it.

He looked at the necklace that the woman left, tears starting to form as he put it in his chest feeling that the woman was with him.

"I love you too Idiot" He lowly mumbled as he hugged his knees.

"Let's go?" The man asked.

He looked at the cliff one last time then he looked down as he closed his eyes.

"Let's go" He replied as he clenched his fist.

"Kaito, Are you sure you don't know anything about Tachibana-san helping a fugitive?" A man asked Kaito who was sitting on the seat with his legs crossed, holding a magazine, reading it.

His eyes lifted from the magazine as he looked at the man briefly then he looked back down the magazine.

"I don't" He shortly answered.
