Green Hornet FanFic- Ep. 25

Last off:

Kato worked until about 8 o'clock that night. Exhausted, he shut down the garage and was ready to go home. On his way home, all he could think about was Hebe. He missed knowing every aspect of her daily life. He noticed that she's been somewhat closed off from him. Sure, they'd had fun together fixing up cars and stuff, but Hebe seemed to be a little more distant than she used to be.

Kato tightened his grip on the motorcycle handles if only that night didn't happen…she wouldn't be going out with some other guy…

As he approached the curb with his motorcycle, he noticed a small figure sitting on the curb near his apartment. It was already dark except for the street light so he couldn't tell who it was. He cautiously walked over to find that the figure was a girl. It was a girl who looked a lot like Hebe, wait, it was Hebe. What the hell was she doing here?

Hebe finished the last drop of whiskey and dropped the bottle. She moaned and reached for a new one. All around her were empty bottles and cans of alcohol. She was dead drunk and she didn't even know it.

Kato approached her with nothing to say. He knew that Hebe almost never drank but when she did, she could drink as much as Britt.

"Cheers…to the …freakin' weekenddddd…" Hebe had already begun to slur her words. She laughed and chugged the bottle, half of the contents dripped down her chin. She wiped her mouth and laughed again.

Kato sat quietly beside her "what happened to you" he asked calmly.

Hebe shook her head weakly "n-nothing, j-just wanted a drinkkkk" she groaned and plopped herself on the curb. She reached for another bottle and popped it open, she started to drink but Kato quickly took it away from her.

"I think you had enough, Hebe"

Hebe whined "nooooooo give it backkkk…give m-me…" she pouted and tried to stand up but she toppled over.

Kato quickly caught her and help her back on the curb. Usually when Hebe was this drunk, he knew that something wasn't right and he was concerned.

"I got …it…I-I'm fineee" her voice rose. She felt around the floor to see if there was any more beer left. "It's not… like I'm….drunk…or anythingggg" she slurred.

"No, you're not fine" Kato replied quietly.

Hebe laughed for a while and shook her head "haha…you're right…I-I'm not fineee, not fine at all" she stopped. "I got into a fight with…m-my boyfriend" she burst into giggles that turned into sobs "HE'S A NO- GOOD SON OF A BITCH!" she screamed aloud and continued sobbing.

Kato couldn't bear to see Hebe like this, girlfriend or not. "What did he do to you?" his eyes were full of concern.

Hebe's tears continued to flow as she gasped for breath to speak. "He dumped m-meee, and then he slapped me."

Kato felt his anger rise up [how dare he slap her…I am going to murder that bastard even if it is the last thing I do] Kato was seething in anger but softened when he saw how miserable Hebe looked. Avenging her boyfriend was the least of his concern right now.

"He doesn't deserve you" Kato comforted her.

Hebe wiped her tears and shook her head. "I hate myself"

Kato waited for her to continue.

"I let the m-most amazing guy s-slip through my hands" Hebe hiccupped. "h-he not mine anymore" her tears start to appear again. "I-I miss my Kato" she blurted out

Kato froze. Wait, what did she say? Kato? Obviously she was too drunk to know that he was sitting right next to her.

"K-Kato" she smiled a little when she said his name. "My n-ninja…" suddenly her tears stopped. "He's my favorite"

Kato smiled, although he didn't say anything.

"H-he's the sweetest, b-bestest boyfriend eveer" she frowned "but h-he wasn't who I thought he w-was"

"I know" Kato whispered

"He was always so nice…to me…made me f-feel like I was a princess" she slurring voice trailed off.

She leaned over and rested her head against Kato's shoulder. It's been a while since she did that. She tucked her arms around his so she had a better grip on him. "Will you d-do Hebe a favor?" she asked.

Kato turned his head towards her to let her know that he was listening. "W-hen you see my Kato, can y-you give him this?" She titled her head up and gently pressed her lips against Kato's. Kato was shocked. He could taste the alcohol on her lips. It felt like forever since he felt Hebe's kiss; that familiar, warm, and spontaneous feeling was still there…

Hebe broke away and mumbled something to herself and slowly fell asleep against Kato's arm.

Kato lightly brushed the last tears from her face. He smiled to himself about how Hebe could look so beautiful even if she was drunk out of her mind. It was already too late to send her back to her condo. He gently prided Hebe's hands off of him and gave her a piggy- back ride up to his apartment.

He quietly walked up the stair and unlocked his door carefully so that he didn't wake her. He gently laid her down on his bed. He took off her shoes and her jacket and pulled the blankets up to her chin. Hebe shivered from the coolness of the sheets; she groaned and curled herself into a ball. Kato sighed and crept out of the room to fetch another blanket for her. He spread out the extra blanket and tucked her in. he took a minute to look at her sleeping and thought about what she said. Finally he turned off the lights and left Hebe sleeping in his room.

He squeezed himself onto his small couch. He smiled to himself, because of this couch; he got to sleep with Hebe in the same bed. So much was going through his mind right now: about the Green Hornet, about that night, about Hebe, about the kiss… He soon drifted off to sleep.

He slept for what seemed like three hours when he was awakened by and muffling noise coming from his room. He yawned and rubbed his eyes before going to check up on Hebe. He tiptoed into his room to find Hebe crying to herself. "K-Kato….come back…" she tossed and turned in her sleep.

Kato crept into his room and sat on the bed. He gently stroked her hair "shhh….I'm right here" he said in a soothing voice.

More tears rolled down Hebe's cheeks. "Kato, I-I'm sorry…don't g-go" she continued to gasp for breath as she hid her head inside the covers. "…I-I still…love you…"

"I love you too" Kato whispered.

"I m-miss K-Kato…" her voice squeaked.

Kato let his hands trail down to her cheek, wiping away her tears. Hebe must have felt his hands so she held onto his hands and had no intention of letting go.

Kato slowly and carefully climbed into bed next to her. "I'm not going anywhere" he coaxed her.

Immediately Hebe clutched his body as if she was hanging on for dear life. Her arms wrapped tightly around his chest. Finally Hebe relaxed "my…Kato"

Kato chuckled at how Hebe talks in her sleep. He placed his arms around her too and gently kissed her on the forehead. "You're okay, I'm not gonna let anything happen to you" he whispered. He felt Hebe tighten her grip on him. This was the first time they had snuggled together like this in a long time. Kato felt like Hebe was his again…Finally they both fell asleep in each other's arms.

Hebe woke up the next morning with a searing headache. She moaned "ugh, I hate hangovers…" she felt clammy and disgusting. It took a while for her eyes to adjust and for her to realize that she was in Kato's bedroom. Her eyes suddenly widened and quickly looked down to see if she had any clothes on. She crawled out of his bed and stumbled to the living room where she found Kato watching television.

Kato looked up and smiled "good morning!" he glanced at the nearest clock "or should I say good afternoon!"

Hebe couldn't make out the events of last night. A sudden pain in her head made her stumble backwards a little. "Ouch"

"There's aspirin and a glass of water on the table if you need it" Kato offered

Hebe stumbled over to the table and gulped the aspirin in one shot. "I feel like shit" she looked down and then at Kato. "We didn't…" her voice was unsure

"Don't worry, I didn't do anything to you" Kato reassured.

She sighed and sat down. "Wait, how did I get in here?"

Kato turned off the TV "you got wasted so I brought you here to stay for a night. Better here than on the streets."

Hebe nodded "what happened last night?"

Kato was shocked "what do you mean what happened last night, don't you remember?"

Hebe frowned, trying to remember but she shook her head "nope, everything was a blur."

Kato suddenly felt panic inside him "no, you have to remember"

"I'm sorry, but I don't, what's the big deal?" Hebe took another sip of water. "What happened?"

"Nothing" Kato mumbled.

Kato's heart shattered into a million pieces. After everything she said about missing him, wanting him back, and kissing him, she didn't remember a thing.

Was she telling the truth?
