Green Hornet FanFic- Ep. 21
Last off:
If only he never agreed to be the Green Hornet's sidekick…
If only…
He would still have her.
Kato woke up with a severe headache and nauseous feeling in the morning. He didn't even have the strength to sit up. He'd drained all four bottles of whiskey and two cans of beer. He picked up the nearest bottle to see if there were any last drops of its content. Just when he held up the bottle, he noticed a small piece of paper stuffed inside the bottle. Kato shook the paper out of the bottle and read it... despite his extreme dizziness, he was still able to make out the words on the note.
Awww…looks like someone got dumped.
Now your little ex-girlfriend knows your secret…
-CB
It took Kato a few minutes for him to process the information in his drunken head. He crumbled the piece of paper. He stared at the ceiling for what seemed like forever. Finally he decided to get up and stumble towards the bedroom. He didn't feel like going to work or answering any of Britt's annoying calls.
It has been nearly three days since the break up. When his name was mentioned or he called, Hebe always pretended that she wasn't into him anymore, but in truth she still felt a slight sting in her heart. Jen had been a really nice friend by treating her to a girl's night out. She was in her condo with Jen as they watched reruns of NCIS. Hebe had gone into the kitchen to get more popcorn when Jen heard a small pebble hit the window. Jen turned off the TV and headed for the window to see what's going on.
"Hey Bee, it's your ex-boyfriend, Kato, what do you want me to do? Throw a chair down there?"
Hebe paused. Before the breakup, her first instinct whenever she heard his name was to run into his arms and kiss him like there's no tomorrow. She put down the bowl of popcorn and sighed.
"Just…let him in…I want to talk to him."
A few moments later, Kato walked into her condo. Hebe greeted him without a smile and gestured him to sit down. Hebe turned to Jen "hey Jen, um…can we have a moment, in private?"
"Sure thing, but if he does anything to you, know that there are steak knives in the kitchen drawer to the left." She said as she walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.
There was an awkward silence between them until Hebe decided to speak up. "I wanna know what happened that night. I want to know everything." Her voice was stern.
Kato sighed, "It's a long story"
"I got time"
Kato took a deep breath and told her everything. From the time he and Britt decided to decapitate James Reid's statue head to what happened that night. He intentionally left out CB since it was still confidential. By the time he was done, Hebe was silent.
"So you and Britt are actually heroes working with villains?" somehow, she didn't feel that the story was convincing enough.
"in a way, yes. Hebe, you got to believe me." Kato tried to take her hand but she jerked it away as if she touched boiling water. Hebe took a few steps away from him.
"Hebe, please don't do this to me." Kato felt his heart being ripped apart.
Hebe stared at him with fear in her eyes, as though he was a different person.
"Hebe, I'm still the same guy you dated before that night. I still love you." Kato's voice started to crack.
"If you loved me, then why didn't you tell me? How can I trust you ever again?" Hebe's voice was serious.
"Because I was trying to protect you! You're the only person I've ever loved." Kato cried.
Hebe opened her mouth to say something but couldn't. She could see the disparity in his eyes.
Kato when on, "Listen, you were always the first person I think of when I get up in the morning and you're also the last person I think of before I go to sleep. I can never stop thinking about you! You know that I'll do anything for you, to keep you happy…to keep you safe. I'm sorry for what I did but please Hebe, you gotta believe me. "
Hebe look down at her feet, she couldn't bear to look him in the eyes. Deep inside, she wanted to forgive him…
"Hebe, I'll let you kick me, punch me, hurt me as badly as you want and I swear I won't dodge any blows, but will you please forgive me?"
Hebe looked up and walked towards him. "I'm not gonna hurt you…and yes, I forgive you and I also believe you"
Kato let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you. Oh I almost forgot." He takes out a small decorated box from Cartier and held it out in front of her. "I forgot to give this to you on our so- called date that night. I was saving up for parts to build a new ray gun but, you're more important."
Hebe opened the box carefully. She gasped to see the most beautiful pair of silver earrings she has ever seen. "y-you remembered our date?"
"Yeah, of course. How can I forget to go on a date with the prettiest girl in the world?" Kato smiled.
Hebe looked at the earrings again admiring the craftsmanship of it.
"Hey, can I ask you something?" Kato started.
Hebe looks up "what?"
Kato slightly fixed his hair and stood up straight "Hebe, will you be my girlfriend…again?"

A/N: AHHHHHHH! What will Hebe say? Review to find out! I kinda like making Kato have a soft side for a girl…hehe. (I know it's a bit off character) Thanks. I don't own the characters. I really want to hear from you, my readers so please review! (I know, I might sound annoying but PLEASE REVIEW! IT WARMS MY HEART! Lol)
Oh, in case you're wondering what Hebe looks like in person, I actually based her on a real famous person (I made up her personality tho. I just used her name). Her name is Hebe Tian and she is a Chinese singer from the Asian girl band SHE. She was also rumored to have dated Jay Chou before so that's why I used her name (don't know if it's true tho.). She actually guest starred in one of Jay's earlier music video, Retreat. It's a really great song. I chose her as Kato's love interest because I think the real Hebe and Jay Chou have really good chemistry together and they're great friends. (you can totally see it in the music video!) so if you're wondering what she looks like then look her up in the Retreat music video (youtube?) with Jay Chou!
OH OH OH! GREAT NEWS Jay Chou's 11th album is coming out! Can't wait? Don't worry, he has already released two new songs, Shadow and Exclamation Mark (the music video for Exclamation Mark is really kickass!) Check it out!
