This is another fanfiction for Heiji and Kazuha. I hope you'll like it!


And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye

Say something, I'm giving up on you

- A Great Big World ft. Christina Aguilera

The tears glittered like falling gems as her emerald eyes looked at his. Heiji stared back at her, pain stabbing his heart as he cradled her frail hand. She had been in the hospital for the past few weeks due to a critical injury that had come close to her heart.

"Kazuha, I –"

"I love you." She whispered softly. Swallowing the lump in her throat, she continued, "I should have told you sooner. I'm sorry that I'm about to go away but I really love you for a long time now."

Heiji's eyes grew wide at her confession. A long silence passed between them. She bit her lip. "Say something, Heiji, because I'm giving up on you."

Heiji opened his mouth, but then closed it. His body shook as he gripped her hand tightly, like he never wanted to let it go. She looked at him in concern. "Heiji?"

"Don't give up." He suddenly said. He looked up and Kazuha was startled at the misting in his eyes. "I may be a jerk, but I'll do my best to answer your feelings, okay? Heck, I'll even skip a case for you! That's why…"

She smiled sadly. "You know that'll never happen."

"But still…"

"You're crying."

Heiji furiously wiped his eyes. "I'm not crying, aho."

"You're the aho, aho." Kazuha retorted back, but there was no energy left in her voice.

"Then what do you want me to do?" He asked her. She glanced at him then stared up at the ceiling.

"Tell me your true feelings."

With utmost sincerity and gentleness, he spoke the hidden feelings buried within his heart. "I care about you. You're precious to me, more than anything else. I'll do whatever not to lose you. I..."

Squeezing her hand, he said, "I love you."

A wide and brilliant smile graced her face for the last time. "Thank you, Heiji."

She closed her eyes. "Sayonara."

As she breathed her last, he leaned his forehead on her hand.

There is only one truth, and the painful truth is that you're gone.


I keep on killing off Kazuha, don't I? Maybe I'll make it Heiji's turn next. Thank you for reading!

Until next time!

Reviews are much loved ;)
