Chapter 32 - Hibiki
****1972****
There is no doubt that I just put my foot so far into my mouth my toes are poking out my ass. Or at least that is what it feels like. I just threw out the most insane idea. I asked her to marry me! She’s going to say no. I mean, of course, she’ll say no. I’m an idiot for even asking.
And the longer she’s silent, the more nervous I get. I’m sweating bullets here. I haven’t been this nervous… well, ever. This had officially surpassed when I was waiting to know if I had passed my final exams at the police academy. Becoming a cop had been my dream for so long. And now, I'm willing to throw it away for a new dream of being with her.
“Hibiki…” she sighed, looking at me with those unreadable eyes. I held my breath. Preparing for the inevitable

It was hilarious to see the looks on Mayu and Hachiro’s faces when we told them why we were going to Hibiki’s parents. Springing a wedding on them is probably the last thing they expected from me. I’m sure they both have their doubts about how serious this is. However, one person that had no doubts was Riko Konishi.I barely managed to say goodbye to Hibiki as she tugged Mayu and me away. This woman has been a whirlwind of happiness from the moment we told her we were here to get married. “I can’t believe he proposed! Hibiki isn’t the spur-of-the-moment type. My boy likes to have a plan of action.” Riko gushed.“Yeah, I was more than a little surprised. I mean, who confesses that they love someone and want to get married the day the other person is supposed to leave.” I sighed. But Loved that Hib
Chasing Kitsune Chapter 34 - Hibiki
I can’t believe it! We got married!! Okay, so it’s not technically legal since we would have needed a marriage license. But we can do that later. I’m amazed my dad had the rings. It’s like my parents have been awaiting the moment I would want the family rings. I was happy when my great-grandmother’s ring easily slid onto Yūri’s finger. She is now the fourth woman to wear this ring.And I know it makes my mom happy to finally have a daughter-in-law who can wear it. Mom stopped wearing it and got a basic band when I was five because her fingers had outgrown the ring. And I don’t want to jinx us as I glanced at Yūri’s stomach while we headed for my apartment, but maybe these rings will find their way to a fifth generation.“Turn left here.” Yūri suddenly ordered, yanking at the wheel. “J

I don’t like this. I don’t fucking like it. Hibiki was taking risks he shouldn’t. I know I can’t really question his faith in this Rickie guy. But I don’t know the fucker. So I don’t trust him as far as I could throw him. Then again, outside of Hibiki, I don’t trust any cops. They are too easily bought. And so help me if this Rickie guy betrays Hibiki. My blade will taste his blood.“Yūri, could you please stop pacing.” Mayu sighed. I narrowed my eyes at her. “No. I cannot stop pacing. Until Hibiki knocks at that door, and I know his cop pal didn’t screw him over, I will keep pacing. Because right now, it’s either I pace, or I grab my sword and go out there and cut my way through every clan member watching Hibiki’s place.” I huff, not once stopping my pacing as I spoke.“J

I get that Yūri isn’t used to not being in control and apparently having someone she cares about. But she’s a little over the top. Not that I will ever complain about getting kissed like that when I walk in the door. And while I get where she’s coming from. She doesn’t trust the police, given how she was raised, but Rickie won’t betray me.She had been so tense when we started out. I worried she’d not relax or rest even as we put San Francisco in the review. I’m not sure how much traveling she’s done since moving here. I’ve only traveled a little, like to the grand canyon, and once when I was a kid, we went to New York City. It’s probably strange, but if I ignore that we are on the run from a yakuza, I’m looking forward to seeing this country… hell, the world with her at my side.I smiled

Hibiki is such a big baby. Getting all scared because I drive fast. And for all his blustering, we were barely ten miles down the road, and he was snoring. Guess that means he trusts me. Or he was exhausted. I’ll assume the latter because the former sounds too hopeful. I mean, I wouldn’t trust someone who drives like me to drive my car. Ironic, I know.The rest of the drive to Vegas was uneventful. Not a lot of cars on the road at this hour. That doesn’t mean I wasn’t watching the few cars we did cross paths with. I can’t say for sure how far my father’s reach is. I know he has contacts across the country and around the world. He could easily have put the word out that I’m wanted.I wouldn’t put it past the old bastard to put a hit out on me. That made me wonder how much my head was worth? Was I wanted dead

Okay, it was hilarious how the clerk reacted to me throwing her over my shoulder to head for the elevators. But not nearly as funny as the older couple that interrupted our hot and heavy makeout session in the elevator. If they hadn’t interrupted, I wouldn’t have thought twice about fucking Yūri in that elevator. I was far too gone to really care about the security cameras watching us.I draw the line at uninvited and rude voyeurs. So to our suite we went. We laughed as we kissed, stumbling into the room and almost tripping over our bags. Clothes were cast aside in favor of skin-to-skin contact. This time we did remember to get a condom from my wallet. I’m going to need to buy more of those because I don’t think we will keep our hands off each other for too long of a stretch.Speaking of stretching, Yūri yawned as she stretched bef

I knew this would happen. God fucking damn it. I didn’t trust anyone we crossed paths with. But of everyone we saw since leaving San Francisco, the family in the station wagon was relatively low on my list of possible assassins. But of course, my father would contact someone who’d go so low as to use children for cover. For all, we know the family the guy was traveling with were hostages.“Mother fucker” I grumbled as we weaved around people on the sidewalk. I wasn’t counting on losing this guy in the crowd. It would be nice, but I think I’ve used too much good luck in my life for things to go my way now. “You realize he is most likely armed. I don’t have my gun on me.” Hibiki whispered as we headed down an alley.“I know. But we have a weapon, of sorts.” I commented, glancing down at
Chasing Kitsune Chapter 40 - Hibiki
I shot someone. I killed someone. I didn’t make a warning shot. I didn’t aim for a non-life-threatening spot. I made sure to aim for a spot that would kill. I haven’t killed someone in a few years. I remember being traumatized when I killed that guy. Even though I’d know I had to kill that suspect, he was, after all, holding a woman at gunpoint. If I hadn’t, he would have killed his hostage.I tried to remind myself this was very much the same. Actually, it was more. This isn't some random person that could have died. This was my wife, the woman I was in love with. I couldn’t let him shoot her. So I took the shot and killed the man. I possibly made a woman a widow and took a father from his children just so I wouldn’t become a widower.I felt cold and like everything around me was moving while I stood still. The o
