I wanted to just keep holding her like that I was worried about her. I tried to make a move but fear stopped me. I held her closer and my hand around her waist tightened. I knew she was the one for me but I couldn't even tell her that. She had lost her memories, but the feelings remained the same.
I took off my mask which gave me the courage to confess. "Hinoiri is the name, I gave you." I started and something came over me. I just said what I felt like saying but I was really scared. So scared that tears started rolling down my eyes.
She whisked away the tears from my cheeks and said, "Don't cry, that's because a handsome and wonderful man like you should always be happy." And I knew I couldn't hold on longer. This moment was never coming for me again. If I miss a chance now, its a chance of a lifetime missed forever. I love her and she needs to know that.
"Do you mind?" I asked looking straight into her eyes and tilting my head a little so she would understand.
"Mind what?" She asked innocently.
"This" I replied, and I did it.
I held on to her tighter near her perfectly shaped waist and closed the distance between us. I shut my eyes and touched her lips to mine. My first kiss. I didn't know exactly what to do but I really wasn't thinking at this point of time. My hand just held her face, and felt her silky hair over it. I just knew what to do.
Our tongues twisted and turned and intertwined with one another. She put her hands around my neck and one tugged to my collar. She pulled me further into it. I couldn't be happier. I could feel the electricity in my entire body. I kissed her harder but made sure she was a part of it too. I never wanted to stop but I realized I needed to breathe.
Our lips parted with each other and she put her hand on my chest. I realized my heart speeding like a Thunder Train.
"I think we should head home now" I said looking at her. She had a pink glow on her face as she blushed from the kiss that I have her. I just wanted to keep looking at her and never look away. She looked at me at regular intervals, blushed and looked back down. She looked even more beautiful in the moonlight. We just looked at each other and sat down.
She asked me not to look at her. 'Is my unmasked face scary? Are you scared? Are you embarrassed? Are you hiding something? Is there something I did?' I thought and asked her about it.
"Shino-san," she said in her dreamy voice which I loved hearing, "I really-really don't know" she began and my heart skipped a bit.
'Have I hurt her? Did I push her into it when she didn't want to?' I immediately thought and asked her about it.
I didn't really understand what had gotten into her but she started thanking me for trusting her and then she said something I will never forget. "Shino-san, I got my name, my home, my life and my love. Everything from you. Even if I lose my memories, I will never forget you. I will never forget this feeling." And I didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, she turned scarlet red, burried her face in her hands, got up and started running with a smile on her face.
I still didn't understand what was going on but I followed closely. She was fast and my heart was already speeding so I couldn't keep up with her. I lost her and I sent a few bugs looking for her.
By the time I found her a bunch of three thugs had surrounded her. I couldn't get a good look but she wasn't happy at all. Her skirt was torn off, her sleeve hanging just by a thread, her lip looked purplish and she was crying and scared.
I couldn't help but feel so much anger swell up inside me. I pulled one of the guys back using my bugs and paralysed him on the ground. I stood in front of her and warned the thugs. When I knew they weren't going to listen like that I paralysed them and called the police.
It was hideous, doing this to a woman. I noticed a guy with his penis hanging out and immediately knew what they were up to. I knew Hinoiri must've been terrified of all this. I put my jacket over her because she was shivering of the cold and trembling with fear.
I made her stand up and just hugged her. She just hugged me and cried and cried and cried on until she couldn't anymore occasionally muttering, "I was so scared." She clung on to my shirt and didn't want to let go. She didn't feel safe enough and how would she.
The police arrived and took the thugs and took them away in their police car.
I bought her home safely and made her drink some warm soup. I tried to put her to sleep, but she has experienced too much pain. She would just start hyperventilating and wake up with a shock. I was very painful to see her like that. While she was asleep, I phoned into the academy and got us a few days off. She needed it.
I wanted to be there for her every time she woke up. She woke up once more and didn't see me there. She was s seed and as soon as I came back from the phone call, she almost jumped on to me and hugged me tightly. I took a chair and sat beside her. She held my hand and fell asleep. Looking at her sleeping so peacefully, I was happy. But she woke up again.
"I'm so scared Shino-san." She repeated and her hold on my hand tightened often. She woke up and said, "Shino-san, I'm so scared. Please sleep with me tonight" I obliged. I had to. She needed me.
I got into the bed, beside her, and gently out my arm under her head. I was trying to be slow and soft so as to not scare her any further. She immediately hugged me, clung to my shirt and tried to fall asleep. I slowly whispered to her, "Its okay now. I'm here to protect you for life." And she was put at ease and slept off.
Looking at her finally sleeping, I was relieved too. 'We has such a beautiful moment, but life can turn around anytime. I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you before any of this happened to you. I'm so sorry I was late.' I teared up a little. 'I won't make such a mistake again. I promise you. I will protect you no matter what, even if it costs me my life. I will always be here with you, for you.' and I slept off as well.
