She was feeding her nephew Gai dinner when there was a boom. He suddenly grinned, and she hoped this didn't make him think he was going anywhere. He was still stubbornly insisting that he had a team, but she knew that, given time, he'd understand. Understand that he was more valuable than anything else, that he couldn't keep trying to get himself killed by running into the face of traffic and battling intergalactic bad guys.
Besides, there was no way that they could have found him without that device, and that device had been left in a flowerbed with instruction on where it was. If they were as good as Gai said they were, they would leave him alone and find another to risk his life. Just as long as it wasn't Gai.
"Stay here," she said, realizing that he wasn't going anywhere after a second's thought.She rushed towards her front door to find that she had no front door anymore, at least not a whole one. There was a young man in a red longcoat, four others behind him, two wielding swords and the other two guns. Hanako found her eyes drawn towards the young woman in the frilly white-and-pink dress holding a gun as if it fitted naturally in her hand and realized that this group of strangers had to be the pirates that her nephew had associated himself with. Gai had shown her the pictures, after all, even before he'd gotten the crazy idea to join them.
"Where's Gai?" the young man in the longcoat asked, demanded, and she drew herself up. She would protect her nephew even from his own so-called team.
She looked at him, straight in the eyes. "You can't have him." She didn't know how they'd found this place, but she wasn't going to give him up to that life.
"Up here, Marvelous-san!" her nephew called. Obviously she should have gagged him, but she hadn't anticipated this.
"Listen," she said, aware that there were guns pointed at her, and people with sharp swords backing them up. "Gai doesn't belong with you and your life. He's an ordinary boy." As long as she stood between them and Gai, her nephew was safe.
