OHAYOU minna! Author here! I just suddenly got this idea in the car and it took half of the trip and half at home to finish this story! Hope you love this!
And of course, it's a HeijixKazuha fanfic…
Well, give it up for the couple!
*crowd claps, leaves stage*
16-year-old Toyama Kazuha didn't know when it started or when she had it. All she knew was that she had the ability to see ghosts ever since she was a child. Sometimes it was frustrating for the girl because she couldn't differentiate between the dead and the living.
Her talking with the spirits left her lonely and friendless. She was actually a friendly person; however her past made it very difficult for her to socialize.
It was a gloomy day, with grey clouds above her head threatening to fall. She was taking a stroll in the park, her hood up above her head to hide her face. After a while, she took a rest.
She was sitting on a bench her eyes scanning the landscape in a lazy manner when she saw a dark skinned boy in jeans, T-shirt, jacket, and a baseball cap standing in the middle of the road as if he was thinking.
Kazuha blinked her eyes, wondering if she was seeing things. That couldn't be him, right?
"What in the world is he doing? Doesn't he know that he's standing in the way of the cars?" She quickly stood up and headed for him when the traffic light suddenly turned green.
She sprinted towards the standing figure.
"WATCH OUT!"
Kazuha stared in horror as she watched the boy turn to her direction and then was hit by a truck.
She squeezed her eyes shut, but when she opened them, he was still there with a bewildered expression.
No one knew if it was Kazuha who was more baffled or the boy.
"Wha- are you-how did-" She staggered backwards and fell down on the ground, realization falling down on her.
He was a ghost.
The boy strode towards her, his hands in his pockets and a smirk on his face. He stood in front of her and both of them stared at each other for a long time.
His eyes were startling green, just like hers, and he seemed to have the personality of a person who seemed to know more than what they were allowed to know.
"You thought I would die there didn't you, ahou?"
Kazuha grew irritated. "Who're you calling ahou, ahou!"
The boy's eyebrows rose and he leaned closely at her, inspecting her as if he was reading her whole life. "You can see me?"
Kazuha rolled her eyes. "If couldn't I wouldn't be talking with you here right now would I? And besides, I've seen plenty of ghosts before but this is the first time I've seen your…kind. What type of spirit are you?"
"I don't know…" the strange boy said, his face troubled as his entire being flickered in and out.
The clouds rumbled as flashes of lightning illuminated the sky here and there. Few drops of rain were quickly falling down. Kazuha stood up and dusted her pants.
"Well, it was nice talking to you, but I have to go now." She began to walk past him but he stood in front of her.
"You can't!" He spread his arms wide, not budging from his place.
"Look, I don't really want to do this, but I've got no choice. Gomene." She walked through him, a shiver running down her spine whenever she touched their kind. However, as her chest went past through his chest, she could feel a faint heartbeat.
She gasped and stumbled but regained her footing. She whirled around and faced him. He was also equally surprised.
"You're different. You're not like other ghosts."
The ghost boy stared at her in pity. "You were lonely too, weren't you?"
She shrugged. One thing about walking through spirits was that they knew what you were feeling. "So what? I'm already used to it. Besides, I'm moving to another school where no one knows me or my past. But back to my question:
What kind of ghost are you?"
"I don't know. All I know is that my body is still alive and kept somewhere and I'm currently searching for it. That's why I need your help."
"Why'd you need my help?"
"You're the daughter of Inspector Toyama of the Osaka Police Headquarters, am I right?"
"Yeah, how did you know?"
The rain was pouring down, drenching the Osaka girl from head to foot.
"Because I was with your father two years ago, but then I 'died'."
Kazuha's eyes grew wide as she realized the person who she was talking to.
"Don't tell me, you're-"
Lighting crackled overhead, enhancing the ghost's withdrawn figure. He gazed at her in despondency.
"I am Hattori Heiji, Detective of the West and your childhood friend."
Well, What d'you think? Did you like it? This is my first time writing a supernatural genre so I don't know much on how to make a 'gloomy and eerie' atmosphere. However, I'll try to improve my writing! XPP Hope you liked it! Please review, ask questions, give me suggestions, comments, etc. I REALLY need them!
Well, thanks for reading this! Stay tuned for the next chapter!
