It was a beautiful day, Eisuke was having a good day, a rare day of no stress. He wanted to go out, enjoy life for a while.
Who would have known that today would have changed both of your lives forever.
You and Eisuke were walking in a parking garage towards his car when you both were approached by a lone masked gunman.
Eisuke slowly raised his hands up and taking a step to shield you with his body. “We’re unarmed.” He called out.
“GET ON YOUR KNEES!!” the masked man screamed.
Eisuke frowned, “I’d rather not, this is a very expensive suit” he replied, if he could keep the focus on him you’d stay safe. Eisuke studied this man’s body, he was a mid-twenties Japanese man, he wore all black except for his ugly running shoes.
“I SAID GET ON YOUR KNEES!” the man screamed again, advancing towards you two. You gripped his suit, you had never had a gun pointed at you. You could feel your heart beating loudly, almost drowning out what the man was saying.
“Eisuke” you whispered, he ignored you, “Eisuke… maybe we should listen” you begged.
He reached back and gave your hand a squeeze, he was angry that he didn’t have Soryu around him, he had a job to do in China and wouldn’t be back for a week. “Now, my good sir, what can I help you with?” he asked.
“You! You ruined my life!” the man screamed, “Y-you sold my wife to some man!” he growled, removing his mask. You remembered that Eisuke had helped a girl escape her abusive husband, back when you still believed that Eisuke was a bad man. Back when you didn’t know he was trying to find his sister from his black market.
“She put herself up for auction.” Eisuke defended his actions, “She delivered the divorce papers the night before, if I’m not mistaken.”
He released the safety. Eisuke tensed, this was getting ugly and fast.
You could feel a spike in your heart rate, you could tell that there was no coming down from this. You struggled against Eisuke’s iron grip keeping you behind him.
“You stole everything from me!” the man growled, he was inches away, Eisuke stared the man down, he wasn’t going to bend to this man. He knew he did the right thing, one of the few right things in life that he had ever done. She had escaped the brute of a man and was bought by the man of her dreams, somebody who would love and care for her like she deserved.
Before either one of you could react the man pistol whipped Eisuke, sending both of you to the ground. You groaned as Eisuke fell on the floor beside you. He wiped his chin of blood that was pouring from the gash that was inflicted upon his person.
“Is that really the best you can do?” he asked, attempting to stand the man kicked Eisuke. Eisuke curled around you, not caring if he broke every bone in his body. His entire priority was to keep you safe.
“You damn filthy bastard!” the man screamed, kicking Eisuke again and again.
Eisuke nearly passed out from the pain. It was a wonderful respite when he stopped. “I would rather torture you even more.” He cocked the gun, “But, I have somewhere I have to be.”
You watched as if everything was in slow motion, the man pulled the trigger. Your body reacted before you had any conscious idea what happened.
“NOOOO!” you screamed out, a shrill ear piercing scream. You had covered Eisuke’s body with yours.
The sound of a gun going off had security running down towards the sound.
The man was glued to his spot for a second, he wasn’t going to shoot the girl, but now he didn’t have a chance to change things. Dropping the gun, he ran.
Eisuke had braced for the impact of the gun, so long as you were safe. When the bullet didn’t pierce his skin he opened his eyes. A strangled gasp was ripped from his throat when he saw your unresponsive body on top of his, bleeding… dying…. “Security!” he wheezed out. He gripped your body tight to his. He searched your face.
Gasping for breath you struggled to stay awake. The bullet pierced your lung and you were struggling to take in a breath. You saw Eisuke’s worried face, good… he wasn’t shot. He was fine.
You smiled at him, everything would be fine if he was alive. “E…. Eisuke… I love you” you were able to get those words out, you two didn’t nearly say them enough to each other.
“______!” he cried out, he saw the light leaving your eyes. No. no. no. no!
“Please… please don’t leave me!” he cried, cradling your body to his, he couldn’t lose you now.
You opened your eyes to a beautiful sunset on the beach. Huh? Weren’t you in a parking garage with Eisuke? EISUKE?! You scrambled from your lounging to look around. He was lying not but a few feet away, soaking up the sun.
“Eisuke!” you squeaked out, going to him you noticed that he was sleeping peacefully. “Oh… I shouldn’t wake him.” You whispered. You could vaguely remember something about a high stress and your chest vaguely hurt for some reason.
Shrugging you decided to go into the ocean, it was cool and inviting. A perfect way to end the day. But before you entered the ocean you checked your phone, it was making a rhythmic beeping sound.
*beep* *beep* *beep* *beep*
Yet you didn’t have any messages, you were surprised that none of the guys were around. Shrugging you threw the phone on top of your beach bag and entered the ocean. Its gentle waves seemed to be pulling you in.
The waves were mesmerizing, so cool, so rhythmic, so clean and clear. Looking back you saw Eisuke still asleep on the beach, poor guy he must be exhausted.
You were now waist deep in the ocean. For some reason you could still hear your phone. You must have had the speaker on.
Diving below you felt like you were slowly floating down.
Huh, there was something shiny down there, was it… gold?
*Beep*………….*Beep*…………………..*Beep*
Deeper and deeper you swam, yet going nowhere. Your muscles were feeling tired now, your lungs burning for air. Still, you persisted.
*Beep*…………………………….*Beep*………………….
Doctor, we’re losing her…..
Code Blue! I repeat Code Blue!
You were rapidly sinking now, faster and faster. The water was getting warm and your body began to relax, the bright light was inviting.
You looked up to see Eisuke swimming frantically towards you, his eyes wide in panic. What? What was wrong? He was trying to swim towards you, his hands stretched out as he desperately tried to grab you.
Everything was fine though, the ocean was pulling you away from him, doing all the hard work.
You didn’t want to swim any more, your legs and especially your chest was aching. Eisuke looked scared, you saw blood leaking from his cheek… when… when did he get hurt? It all felt vaguely familiar.
“_______!” he called again, which should be impossible in the ocean but somehow he was able to call out to you.
You felt a pain in your chest. You cried out in agony, curling into a ball in the ocean. Eisuke was no more closer to you than a second ago.
Another excruciating pain ripped through your body.
Soon you felt arms wrapped around your body
………….*Beep*……………….*Beep*……………..*Beep*
Opening your eyes you looked at Eisuke, he had the most serene look on his face. “______” he cooed, “C’mon…. lets go home” he said.
You looked back and forth between him and the shiny floor, the floor looked so inviting, you didn’t want to swim, you wanted to sleep.
“Why, Eisuke… why don’t we rest?” you asked.
“Because sweetheart, we won’t be able to return.” He replied, tugging on your hand, “You can’t give up now.”
“Eisuke… I don’t think I can swim anymore.”
“C’mon babe… you can do it” he encouraged, his smile encouraged you to swim with him, “That’s my girl, c’mon, we can sleep when we’re on the beach.”
It seemed like forever for your head to breach the surface of the ocean. By now your body was completely exhausted, Eisuke dragged you to the beach, “C’mon you can nap once you’re on the beach.”
You crawled upon the beach, breathe heavily. Collapsing you rolled over the face Eisuke.
“You did good sweetheart” he praised, “Okay, rest now,” he brushed some of your wet hair from your face to behind your ear, “I’ll be here when you wake up.”
“____?” a voice asked, you knew this voice. You attempted to open your eyes but they felt so heavy, you felt your hand being picked up and being squeezed. “Sweetheart?”
You knew that voice, trying to find your voice you attempted to mumble but it came out as a gurgle of sounds.
“SHE’S AWAKE!” you could feel people crowd around you, “Don’t crowd, give her some air.”
With much effort you opened your eyes, Eisuke’s face was the first one you saw, he looked tired, with the bags under his eyes he looked to have aged.
Beside Eisuke was Soryu and Baba. Your eyes drifted to the side and you saw Mamo and Ota. You looked back to Eisuke and reached up to cup his cheek. Tears brimmed at both of your eyes. Eisuke pressed his cheek into your hand.
“C’mon guys, lets give them some room.” Baba said, helping usher everybody out. Ota didn’t want to leave but Baba was able to usher them out.
Eisuke sat on your bed, kissing your wrist. “_____” he whisper your name, “I was so worried.” He admitted.
You struggled to talk, he brought a glass of water to your lips and you greedily took in the nourishing liquid, finally feeling like you could talk.
“Eisuke, what….what happened?” you asked, your voice didn’t sound like yours at all.
“Oh sweetheart, you were shot.” He rubbed your knuckles watching you with sorrowful eyes. “You died _____” he admitted.
You gasped, remembering that you were swimming towards something shiny…. Was that the afterlife that you were swimming to? Eisuke sighed, “I wasn’t sure that’d you pull through.” He got into your bed and laid beside you, his hand on your stomach, “I am so glad you did…. I wouldn’t know if I could live without you.” He kissed you gently.
“Eisuke….” You whispered, your arms still felt like led but you managed to rub his face, “you saved me… you pulled me back.” Of course Eisuke didn’t know what you were talking about, and that was fine. You closed your eyes and sighed, you didn’t catch the look of pure panic cross his features.
“____” he implored, “Open your eyes sweetheart, I haven’t seen your eyes in a week” he said. You opened your eyes and looked at him, all you wanted to do was sleep, and you felt so exhausted. He was afraid you would slip from his fingers if you closed your eyes again.
“Eisuke, I’m not going anywhere, but I’m tired” you said, “I promise I’ll wake up, I have you waiting for me.”
It was two weeks before you were checked out, within those weeks you learned that Eisuke was suffering from two fractured ribs from the masked gunman, you also learned that Soryu and his men had taken care of this man and his family.
You were sitting next to Baba taking a sip of wine when he started talking, “You know he insisted that he sleep next to you every day. He didn’t leave your side.”
You looked dubiously at Baba, “Really?” you asked, looking over to Eisuke who was talking with Soryu. “I didn’t know, all I know is that I have an escort whenever you left the hotel, Eisuke wasn’t going to let something happen to you again.
Eisuke could feel eyes on him, turning he saw your shocked face, he smirked and walked towards you kissing you on your lips, “What is wrong my love?” he asked.
“Baba here was telling me that you didn’t leave my side when I was in that coma.” You said, patting Baba’s leg.
A dust of pink graced Eisuke’s face, he grabbed your hand and pulled you to your feet, “Baba should have kept his nose out of our business.” He pulled you to your room, during your recovery Eisuke never once tried to have any sexual relationship with you, treating you like glass.
He guided you to the bed, he peppered your face with kisses, making you giggle. “Eisuke! What are you doing?” you asked.
“Kissing you, what does it look like?” he asked, he pulled the cover up close and snuggled into your body heat.
“Eisuke, I have a request of you.” You asked, between kisses and snuggling.
“Say it, and it is yours” he promised.
“Kiss me and never, never, never, let me go.”
