"Reimi?"

"Is she going to be okay?"

"Reimi! Please, wake up!"


I slowly opened my eyes. The room was bright, and it looked like I was in a hospital. I saw some figures standing above me. When my eyes start to adjust, I noticed some doctors looking down at me.

"She's awake!" One of the doctors called out. I heard footsteps rushing over to my side. It was Iishiro.

"Reimi. I'm glad your okay." He says, giving me that gentle smile that I loved. I weakly smiled back.

"Iishiro.." I softly said.

"How is she?" Iishiro asked as he looked up at the doctors. The doctor looked up from his clipboard.

"She's going to be fine. We managed to remove the bullet that was located in her shoulder. She'll make a full recovery. Good thing you guys came in when you did, if you haven't, she might have been killed." The doctor says. My heart sank as I listened to what the doctor said. If Iishiro didn't made it on time like he did, I would of died?

I felt my breathing become faster. My heart was beating like crazy, and my blood was running. I felt myself shaking. Why was I feeling like this? I felt tears in my eyes as I began to breathe more heavier.

"Reimi? Are you okay?" Iishiro asked me. The tears wouldn't stop coming. I began to cry as I curled up into a ball on the hospital bed.

"She's having a panic attack!" One of the doctors said. Iishiro went to my side and held me in his arms. I sobbed as I buried my face into his chest. I desperately wrapped my arms around him. I felt him rubbing my back, trying to calm me down.

"Shh, just breath." He calmly says. I sniffed as I began to calm down. I started to breathe in and out.

"I suggest that she takes a few weeks off from work. She will need to time to recover from the trauma that recently impacted her. She'll need emotional support." The doctor says to him.

"I'll take care of her. She feels more safe when she's with me." Iishiro tells him. The doctor nodded.

"Very well. I'll give her some medication that will help the pain from her shoulder. It may hurt for a couple of days." He says.

"Alright." I felt Iishiro's soft hand stroke my hair gently. I stopped crying as I calmly relaxed in his arms.


I sat in the backseat in Iishiro's police car as he drives me to his house. Iishiro says he would take days off so he could take care of me. I smiled as I looked out of the window. He saved my life. He was my hero. I blushed as I watched the passing cars pass by.

It felt like hours before we finally got there. He helped me out of his car, and we headed to front door of his house. He took the keys out of his pocket and unlocked the door. We both entered the house. It was a normal house, but it was different from my apartment. It was more bigger and had more space.

"You have a really nice house." I told him.

"Oh um, t-thanks." He stuttered. He began to show me around the house, including the living room, kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms.

"Doesn't your brothers live with you too?" I asked him. He nodded as he glanced over at me.

"Yeah. But they are all on duty right now, so we both have the house to ourselves for right now." He replies. I blushed at the thought of us alone together in the house. He began to lead me to my room.

"This is your room." He tells me. It was a spare guestroom that he had. The walls were painted blue, and there was a nice queen sized bed in the middle, with a flat screen TV. I walked inside of the room and placed my bags down.

"If you ever need me at night, I'll be in my room." He says pointing to the door across the guestroom.

"Thank you, Iishiro. For everything." I tell him, giving him a warm smile. He blushed as he looked away. He cleared his throat.

"Anyways, it's almost evening, so, would you like anything to eat?" He asks me.

"Maybe some soup?" I asked. He smiled as he nodded and headed towards the kitchen. I walked over to the couch in the living room and sat down. I found a blanket and wrapped myself around it, since I was feeling cold.

Fifth teen minutes later, Iishiro came out with a bowl of soup. He handed to me.

"Careful, it's hot." He tells me. I nodded as I held the bowl of soup in my hands. He went back into the kitchen to clean up. I carefully held the bowl over my mouth and blew on it softly. I then carefully began to take a sip of the soup from the bowl. It was still a little hot, but it was really delicious.

"So good!" I say to myself. Iishiro walks back in the living room and sat down besides me.

"How is it?" He asks me.

"Really good! I didn't know you were a good cook!" I tell him as I continued to sip the soup with my spoon.

"T-Thank you." He stammered as he looked away, trying to hide his blush.


It began to turn night quickly, and I began to yawn as I glanced at Iishiro.

"You should be getting some sleep now. I'll escort you to your room." He tells me. I nodded as I follow him to the guestroom where I'll be staying. When we got to the door, he opens it for me, like a gentlemen. I smiled as I walked in the room and slide under the covers in the bed.

"Goodnight." He tells me.

"Night." I replied. He slowly closes the door, leaving me alone in the room. I began to close my eyes, before drifting off to sleep.

While I was asleep, I began to have horrible dreams. Dreams, that remind me of the incident that happened the other day.

"No one's gonna save you now, bitch." The voice of the same man from the other day says. I was tied up and I was lying on the cold hard ground. I could hear the screams of other employees in the background.

The man pointed the gun at my head. I felt tears in my eyes I shut my eyes tightly. Then the gun went off.

I gasped as I woke up from that nightmare. Tears fell from my face as I sobbed into my pillow. My body started to shake rapidly, and I couldn't control it. My breathing started to get faster again. I was starting to get a panic attack. I slowly got out of the bed, standing up with my legs that felt like jelly.

I shakily opened the door and slowly walked down the hallway to Iishiro's room. I stood in front of the door and slowly opening it, making it creak a little. I walked into the room and walked to the side where he slept at.

I gave him a little nudge on the shoulder. Thankfully, he wasn't a heavy sleeper, as he wakes up immediately and gets up. He looked up at me, confused and concern.

"Reimi? What's wrong?" He asks while rubbing his eyes. I sniffed as I wiped the tears from my eyes.

"I-I had a nightmare about the incident yesterday. I started to have a panic attack after I woke up from it." I stuttered, my body still shaking. I gasped as I felt a pair of arms embracing me. I calmed down as I hugged him back.

"Shh, it's okay." He says, while rubbing my back. I sniffed as I looked up at him. His beautiful black eyes looking into my brown ones.

"You want to sleep with me tonight?" He asks me, looking directly into my eyes. I slowly nodded as he quickly scooted over, making room for me. I slide under the covers with him and snuggled closely into his chest.

I felt more calm when I was with him. My anxiety started to go away and my breathing started to get normal again.

"Goodnight, Reimi." He softly says to me.

"Goodnight." I replied. I began to close my eyes and drift off to sleep once again. While I was asleep, I could of sworn I felt a pair of lips pressing against my forehead.
