Chapter 7: Fast
The warm sensation of the sun touched upon the women's skin, reaching their face and into the smaller woman's eyes. The small red head was still in her lovers arms, she couldn't help but smile after waking up. Her cold assassin looked so harmless and delicate, pale soft white skin like that of a snowflake and dark blue hair. Last night had been more than just special for them. The small woman had asked her partner playingly for marriage and the answer had been yes, there was nothing more she wanted. Being by her protectors side , seeing her like this was a gift only bestowed upon her and now they were even engaged. The woman smiled and caressed her lovers hair then kissed her forehead, nuzzling herself closer to her guardian, closing her eyes and allowing the mind to wonder, falling asleep to the tune of their hearts.
The smaller woman was sound asleep when her partner awoke. Her hands were intertwined with her own and her arms where around her lovers waist. The assassin couldn't help but roll her eyes before gently taking a nip from her lovers shoulder. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, taking in her lovers scent. Soft, tender, sweet, and warm, an amazing fragrance. The red heads body shivered with the sensation, she turned her body to face the attacker and smiled. "Good morning Tokaku. How did you sleep?" She asked playfully while using this as an opportunity to kiss her lovers lips. The assassin blushed after the embrace and answered. A gentle silence lingered in the air. "Hey Tokaku. You're a terrible kisser but we can work on it." The smaller woman teased. "Tch, let's go make breakfast." Responded the protector while sitting up, allowing her bare body to be exposed. The red head stared for a seconded then turned her head but was suddenly pulled out of the bed with one swift movement. Their bodies were pressed against each other. The sensation of their skin against each other was explicit. The smaller woman's heart suddenly started pounding against her chest, her body was becoming tense. "Haru, look me in the eyes. Tell me that last night was real and that you love me." The assassin somewhat pleaded with worried eyes. The red head wrapped her arms around her lovers slender figure and rested her head on her shoulder. "Of course it was real, last night we gave each other our all. I love you and I need you to stay by my side forever. You're not allowed to ever leave my side remember." The woman responded lovingly. "Good. Now let's go take a quick shower and eat breakfast, we can go ring shopping today." Responded the assassin, showing a small tender smile. The two females proceeded to the bathroom together.
The water was warm, it felt nice as it cleaned their bodies. They scrubbed each other's backs and gently laid kisses on one another with the excuse that they could. The assassin washed her Queens hair first then looked over her wound but it looked like it had closed for good, a new scar had made its home on the small woman's body. Her abdomen on the other hand had a dark purple, almost black bruise from the hit she had taken. The smaller woman touched it then asked if it hurt after seeing no reaction from her guardian. "Pain is for the weak, only the weak show that they're in pain. I learned this from my grandmother." Responded the assassin, the smaller woman hugged her lover. "We're clean enough, let's go eat breakfast." Said the smaller woman. They exited the bathroom and ate breakfast then made their way downstairs to the parking garage. "I saw some jewelry shops in the center of town, let's try there first." The assassin suggested and handed her Queen a helmet and a black leather jacket. They exited the apartment complex on the motorcycle. Haru was holding on to her guardian's waist tightly with sheer excitement.
They made their way to the first jewelry shop. Ichinose was looking carefully at each ring, it needed to be perfect and nothing less. Soon 4 jewelry stores later and three hours had gone by but then she found it. The description read: Round Diamond Halo Engagement Ring setting Blue Sapphire Accents in 24K White Gold. The blue sapphires had reminded the woman of her lovers hair and overall it was just simply beautiful. "Tokaku I want this one!" The smaller woman excitedly said. "But what about you? You need a ring too, do you know which one you want?" The smaller woman asked curiously. "I'll get this one, it has the blue rock color too so it'll match yours." She said as she pointed to a band with two blue sapphire stripes running through the width of it. "We'll take these two." The assassin told the clerk. "How long will it take." The smaller woman asked. The man tapped on his chin, "Well actually we have every size stocked at the moment so if you pay today, you can have them. I'll give you guys a discount too so the total will be $4,000.00" he responded. The assassin reached down at her boots and pulled out a credit card. The smaller woman seemed somewhat confused as her lover paid. The assassin rolled her eyes "I'm part of the Azuma Clan, do you really think they would leave me without money?" She made clear. The red head understood now and let her prince gently glide the ring onto her finger and did the same for her. She couldn't help but smile. "Hey Tokaku, since we're going to get married, does that mean that I'll be Azuma Haru or will you be Ichinose Tokaku?" the smaller woman asked curiously. "I think you would be safer with my last name, No one goes after the Azuma Clan after all." The assassin responded. The red head kissed her lover and thanked her as they walked out.
They stopped at a little café on their way back, it had gotten a little late so they decided to have dinner there. They had just finished ordering when two shots were fired. The assassin quickly turned the table and used it as a shield while making her way to the counter with her lover. She quickly took a glance to make sure that her Queen hadn't been hit then ordered her to call Director Yuri and tell her of the situation and to stay calm but the smaller woman was already in a deep shock as flashbacks of her family dying in front of her were playing in her mind.. The assassin had been hit on her shoulder but dew to the adrenalin, she still hadn't noticed. The assassin yelled at the small woman and finally snapped her out of it then took her phone out of her pocket and made the call while the assassin returned fire.
Three, there were three different people directing gun fire at them. Azuma quickly took the guy closest to them out then moved her attention to the next. One of them went under cover to reload and during that short amount of time, there was only him left. He started strategically firing but the assassin was able to get him on the shoulder and the next time he shot was the last but that last shot had just barely hit the assassin upper arm. Azuma was angry after noticing her injuries then picked herself up. "Stay here, Don't move until I tell you to. Got it." The assassin commanded while making her way towards the targets she had hit. She had had two head shots but the other guy still looked alive so she shot him then made her way back to her Queen then collapsed. Is this how it ends? I feel the chemicals burning. All the voices in my mind calling out across the line, is this how it ends? Is it alright if I leave a broken heart as long as that heart survives? The woman thought to herself right before everything turned dark, as her eyes closed she saw her lover yelling in tears.
The smaller woman was in chaos, tears were running down her face as she applied pressure to the wound on her guardians shoulder, the assassin had lost a lot of blood. Then the Police arrived first but a few seconds later, Nio and a few men that worked for Yuri too. Nio grinned after seeing three dead men then walked to the back of the counter to find a surprise. "Nio help" the small woman pleaded. The blond motioned a man to come get the assassin quickly, they rushed the injured woman to that same hospital where Haru had been taken.
Ichinose broke down, she was sobbing and holding on to her lovers hand on the way to the hospital. She was scared, she didn't want to lose the person who was the most precious to her, only bad thoughts were running threw her mind.
They arrived, a team was already waiting for them outside to take care of the injured. Ichinose had to be held back as they took the assassin away. She and Nio were left alone in the waiting room but the red head just wasn't calming down. The blond wasn't going to get any information like this do she pinched a nerve on the red heads shoulder and she went down. The blonde called a nurse and asked for the red head to be properly sedated and be placed in the same room as the assassin after she got out of surgery. These two were always such a pain in the ass.
