The wraith attacks Hotaru.

The wraith released me from his grip. The mass of black smoke lunged forwards towards Hotaru.
"DAI!" She screamed at me.
The wraith's sharp claw-like hands slashed at her chest, ripping part of Hotaru's lilac blouse into little shreds. Before Hotaru could scream again, the wraith's hands silenced her protests. The ghostly dark mass pushed her against one of the trees and began ripping away at her clothes.

Fumbling, I dropped my plastic shopping bag full of bread and looked for a suitably thick branch to hit the wraith with. What could only be described as an ethereal slurping sound rung in my ear as I picked up the branch and staggered towards the wraith. I swung back and summoned every last bit of strength and swung wildly at the wraith. The sound stopped. The wraith turned to face me.

It had no face or eyes. The smoky dark mass seemed to emanate from a white mask suspended in the air.
It looked at me. I could only feel coldness as I stared into its eyes holes.
Staring into the eye holes in the mask sent shivers down my body.
Was this how it ends for me?

"SHINING MAKEUP POWER" A familiar voice suddenly cried out.
Suddenly the the whole clearing was overwhelmed by a lilac light. The explosion of light threw the wraith back, like a toy in whipped up by a hurricane. An auburn haired girl with a matching white and lilac sailor suit appeared. She looked exceedingly similar to Hotaru, except for her clothes. The sailor suit looked similar to a standard Japanese uniform but instead of being gray checkered, long and drab like our school uniform, this sailor suit was short and skimpy, leaving little to the imagination.

I couldn't help but be taken aback by this bold girl. A lilac miniskirt was the only bit of fabric before her matching lilac heels. The wraith turned to face her, aggressively closing distance to her, claw hands waving wildly. The creature screeched deafeningly. The girl took out a bow and arrow, announcing "in the name of the shining stars, I punish you!" before loosing the arrow.
The arrow, previously a mundane matte lilac, exploded into a burst of light once it loosed. The light engulfed the wraith, vaporising it immediately.

The strange girl turned to me. She looked in the eyes. "Dai are you ok?" she asked.
Suddenly the girl staggered onto her knees. The sailor suit and miniskirt glowed and disappeared.
"Hotaru?" I asked.
She tried to stand up.
"Are you okay?" I tried to help her up but she softly collapsed back down onto me. "What was that?"

Hotaru turned, smiling as she faced me. "Hey Dai".
Suddenly it was apparent to me that her body was on top of mine and her nipples were rubbing against my t-shirt. She seemed out of it, incredibly spacey. Still I couldn't help but get an erection as I could feel her soft skin and nipples rub against my t-shirt.
Blushing I sat her down on the ground away from me to hide it. It was then that Hotaru realised the wraith had teared most of her blouse to shreds. She blushed, covering her perky breasts with her arm.
"Gaahhhhh!" She tore away from me. "I'm NAKED???!??"
Instinctively she tried to stand up and run away from such a situation, but she seemed to be somewhat injured, quickly falling back down.

"HOTARU, IT'S OKAY, I'M HERE FOR YOU SWEETIE!" I caught her before she could fall.
She looked at me again. "Oh it's you Dai."
She covered her small breasts with her arm and relaxed a little. "Are you okay?" I calmly asked again.
"I'm okay Dai, the youma only damaged my mana shields".
I looked at Hotaru in confusion. "You-ma? Mana shields?"
"Yes, Dai, they protect me from the attacks of the youma, but it uses up a lot of my mana, basically my energy."

Energy? I fumbled around my plastic shopping bag procuring the pork floss buns I had bought early. Though a few had been squashed, there were about three or four buns still intact. I handed one of the nice buns to Hotaru, smiling.
Her eyes lit up "Mrs Imamura's pork floss buns???!?"
She savagely munched on the bun, devouring it in a matter of seconds. Her hurried eating caused her to hiccup adorably. I reached into the bag, procuring a bottled green tea for her like a magician. I had originally thought about drinking it later, but it always so satisfying to watch Hotaru enjoy things.

After Hotaru calmed down she turned to me, still hiding her nipples with her arm as she munched on a pork floss bun.
"I'm a magical girl, Dai. I'm the protector of the whole city of Akita. I keep the whole city safe from monsters - the youma. Sorry I kept this from you, but I've been the protector for a few years now" she explained. "Thanks for saving me Dai."
She looked at me warmly, smiling at me. "I haven't needed saving before!" She added.
My mind went back to the attack. If I hadn't distracted Hotaru, would she have been hurt like this? I wondered.
What if youma kept going? What would it have done to my beloved girlfriend after ripping up her top? What exactly were these monsters? I shook the thoughts out of my head.
"I'm sorry I couldn't protect you Hotaru". I hugged my girlfriend. "I'm so sorry".
We embraced each other for what only seemed minutes.

The crows announced the evening with their squarks. The sun was already setting down.
"It should be easier to hide from everyone at night, Hotaru, we should head off".
In the end we got our date together in the clearing. While I didn't get to show off my home cooking skills, Mrs Imamura's pork floss buns were almost as good as a replacement. I saw Hotaru savagely munch through three or four of the buns. Usually she only ate a single bun, but given what we had gone through, I was willing to forgo a bit of my apatite for her. While I felt as fuzzy and warm as I normally did being around Hotaru I couldn't help but notice my dick was poking annoyingly at my boxers the entire time.

For the first time in my life I felt Hotaru's exposed boobs! I couldn't get the sensation out of my head. Before we left the clearing, Hotaru leaned into to kiss me lightly on the lips. "Happy Anniversary!"
Amidst the chaos I hadn't even remembered that it was our 3rd anniversary! The cocktail of lust and adrenaline had really overtaken my brain. As she embraced me for the kiss, my hard penis brushed against her leg. She tore away from our timid kiss.

"I have to uh... go... Dai...". Hotaru blushed intensely. "Your... jacket?"
I realised then that I had completely forgotten about my jacket. The same jacket I could have offered my girlfriend while she was naked the entire time, like a gentleman.
"Oh... oh right...". Now I began to blush.
As soon as I gave her my jacket, Hotaru ran off. What a crazy day.
