This is my first fanfic, so please be nice ;)
Also english isn't my native language. I hope my grammar might be understandable :)
Rate T because of the language.
Note: I don't own Detective Conan/Case Closed.
Since thirty minutes, they tried to figure out the message on the paper, which arrived at the police station in Tokyo this noon. The addressor threatened in it with a bomb attack on a shopping centre at 3 p.m., in other words: 20 minutes. He also gave a hint, but this part became unreadable. The postman got hit by an all too fast student on a bicycle and dropped the letter with its valuable content into a puddle. Just threat and time remained visible.
"Let's focus. This guy tries to hurt as much people as possible. Where would be the best place for that?"
"That's the point. It's Saturday, so everywhere!" Heiji added and observed his environment.
They stood slightly away from the rest of the people in the room. On the other side, Inspector Megure argued with his subordinates and Mori, who, Heiji knew for sure, just shared one of his absurd theories.
No wonder. His brain stands beside me, he commented drily.
His look travelled further to Ran and Kazuha, who watched something on Kazuha's cell phone.
Typically! We try to save human lifes and these hens have nothing better to do than watching nonsense. I should have left Kazuha at home. Since we left Osaka, she's a pain in the ass.
Feeling Heiji's eyes at herself, Kazuha looked up from the cell phone into his direction. He gave her a frosty look and turned his attention back to the paper in Conan's hands. Kazuha sighed.
"Is something wrong, Kazuha-chan?" asked Ran caring.
"It's Heiji." answered Kazuha with another sigh.
Ran took a brief glance into the direction of the high school detective and his smaller copy. "I've already noticed that there's something going on between you and Heiji-kun."
"He's angry at me," said Kazuha and lowered her head sadly.
"But why?"
"I'm not sure. At the train, he met a former classmate of us, Akihiro-kun, who moved with his parents to Tokyo two years ago. He was the formerly captain of Heiji's high school Kendo team. They started talking about past times and Heiji followed him to his seat to continue talking. I was really angry that he had left me alone. I also forgot to take a book or something else with me. So, there was nothing else to do than looking out of the window. After 15 minutes, a young man asked me if the seat beside me has been taken. I denied because I was still angry at Heiji. We started talking and he was really nice and funny. His name is Isamu-kun. I had completely forgotten the time. Suddenly, Heiji stood in front of us with a deadly look on his face. He just dragged this guy with one hand on his feet, looked him in the eyes and said with a soft, defeated tone: 'This is my seat. So, back off or I'll throw you out of the window. Understood.' 'Heiji!' I shouted horrified. Isamu-kun looked at first to me than back to Heiji and finally sighed. He took his bag from under the seat and handed me his card followed by 'In case of you are fed up with such a rude boyfriend, call me.' Then he left. Heiji sat down and grabbed the card which was still in my hand, screwed it up and put the ball in his pocket. He didn't speak one word with me for the rest of the journey, only interrupted by occasional icy looks."
Ran couldn't resist a smile. "I understand that he is angry because of his seat but that long is stupid, don't you think?" asked Kazuha.
"Umm…," responded Ran with a perplexed look on her face because of her friends completely lack of understanding.
"Kazuha, look…"
"Okay, everyone. We gonna try Heiji-kun's theory. Let's hope we will be right," interrupted Inspector Megure Ran's attempted explanation.
The girls looked in his direction and noticed that Heiji and Conan had left their formally position and stood together with Megure, Kogoro and the rest of the team. Everyone prepared for departure. Heiji walked over to Ran and Kazuha.
"Chiba-san gonna drive you both back to Mori's," he said and was about to turn back to follow the others.
"What?! We're not coming with you," shouted Kazuha disappointed.
With an annoyed groan, he turned back. "Ahou, you're gonna be in everyone's way. As usual…," he commented.
She looked hurt, but suppressed a comment. "Okay, but do you have your lucky charm?"
What the heck! Of course I have that stupid thing with me as always. How could one person just be so annoying?
But before he was able to confirm the presence of the lucky charm attached to his cell phone as usual, Heiji remembered the events on the train. How hurt he felt when he saw Kazuha gabbing and giggling with that guy. As if she replaced him, metaphorical and literally by given away his place. At this moment, he wanted to hurt her like the way she hurted him.
"No, I think I forgot it in my room."
Kazuha's eyes widened. "What! But you need it. Remember the last time you hadn't it with you."
"Ahou, that stuff doesn't work. Why do you still believe in such nonsense? You're such a child," he commented annoyed.
She was already close to tears. "Then please take mine," she pleaded with thin voice and hold her lucky charm close to his face.
He wiped her hand out of his focus with his left palm, caused thereby that the charm flew out of her hand straight trough the room. By that, Kazuha wasn't able to hold back tears any longer. She started crying and ran out of the room.
"Heiji-kun, you should go after her. What if she runs into a building, the bomb maker wants to destroy," Ran remarked with concern.
Heiji looked after the direction Kazuha disappeared a few seconds ago with a sad expression on his face. It appeared, he didn't notice Ran's words, but after 10 seconds.
"No. She will be safer outside than here," he responded absent-minded, still looking in the direction Kazuha disappeared.
Kazuha run into a park across the police station, took a seat on a bench and cried because of her stupid childhood friend. After five minutes of self-pity for a friendship with such an ahou, she decided to not let him ruin her day. She stood up, straightened her back and headed into the direction of the police station.
If Heiji doesn't believe in the protective power of our charms, it's his problem. I know that I'm right and I'm gonna go back and search for my lucky charm.
With a determined look, Kazuha entered the building. When she walked into the big lobby, no one was there.
Has everyone left the station to find the bomb? She asked herself. Really strange.
She went upstairs and achieved the second floor. Again, she didn't meet any soul.
As she arrived the room they've had been earlier, her phone rang. Eye-rolling, she accepted the call. "What do you want, Heiji?" she asked annoyed. "Just wanna check on you. Where are you?"
She knew him too well for not noticing the special tone in his voice. He felt sorry for his behaviour and wanted to find out how mad she was with him. Despite the fact that she was still pissed, she couldn't resist but smile. Don't even think I let you off the hook that easy.
"It's none of your damn business."
" 'zuha," he pleaded softly.
"Fine," she sighed, "I'm looking for my lucky charm."
"Look, I'm …Wait! Are you at the police station?" he asked alarmed.
"Of course, Ahou! You threw it through the room, remember?" she responded with a chuckle.
"Kazuha, you have to listen to me. Leave the building as soon as possible. The bomb is inside the police station. Forget about the charm. GET OUT OF THE BUILDING! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN! DO YOU HEAR ME?!" The last word was drowned by a sudden explosion from the second floor of the police station. But Heiji was shocked even more by the sound of his cell phone. At the same time, the bomb exploded, the connection to Kazuha broke off. Now, he just listened to a dead end.
No. NO! That's not true. She wasn't there anymore. She managed to leave the floor before the bomb detonated. Not my Kazuha. She was so often in dangerous situation and always got luck.
Suddenly, he remembered something. He got a lucky charm out of his pocket. Her lucky charm. The one he picked up after she had left the room.
What if…
