"Hhh ... I just found out, a girl can actually faint from hearing a boy's confession!". Heiji thought for a moment. "No! Maybe just one particular girl, namely you! Hi-iih, Kazuha you really are a Miss Ahou!". Heiji said while pinching Kazuha's cheek, slowly of course, since she's so adorable.
Kazuha wasn't fully conscious, until Heiji pinched her cheek. Since Kazuha is still dazed like a statue, Heiji had taken them to sit on one of the benches in a nearby park.
"Huh? What? Oh, Heiji. Uh, anoo ... What happened? Where are we?" Confused, she looked around and she became increasingly confused because suddenly they were sitting in the park.
"How can we get here? What for?".
Heiji narrowed his eyes suspiciously. This ahou! Does she really not remember or just pretend to forget? She asked too many questions that weren't important and kept being repeated! He should be suspicious! But even so, Heiji patiently answered. "You fainted with your eyes open!".
Kazuha looked at Heiji as if suddenly one more head was growing around his neck.
Fainted with eyes open ... Is that even possible?
Yes, she knows she's not as intelligent as he is, but, does he think he can fool her like fooling a child? Heh! Sorry, but she's not that stupid!
But a second later, Kazuha gasped because she remembered that she had actually fainted with both eyes open.
However, what surprised her was the reason. With her mouth open, forming 'O' letter, Kazuha looked at Heiji, who immediately knew that she had realized what had just happened.
"What? Has your memory returned? Can you remember it now?" Heiji asked sarcastically.
Well, even though he loves Kazuha, but on the other hand, Heiji's also annoyed. After all, he's embarrassed! The reaction he got from the girl he declared his love for, was actually fainted? Really? Coupled with open eyes too, she looks like an undead!
Can this be said to be worse than being rejected?
And even more annoying, Kazuha just stared at him, before finally nodding slowly, then lowered her head.
How odd! He's very sure she'll cry happily ...
Okay, maybe that is too much! But at least, Heiji was sure that Kazuha's reaction would be far different than what she showed him right now, unless ...
An invisible hand suddenly squeezes Heiji's heart.
Unless she doesn't feel the same way, as he feels ...
Unconsciously, Heiji gulped. Could it be? Did he guess wrong? The thought immediately made him difficult to breathe. It feels really suffocating, like when he lost in an analysis battle from Kudo. It's just, this time, it feels more ... painful, and also make him nauseous. Like a heavy blow right on his gut.
"Heiji ..." Kazuha's soft voice saved him, breaking his terrible thoughts.
He looked up at the girl and prepare himself to hear the worst answer. Well, this is it! However, whatever her answer, she is Kazuha, and Heiji will always love her, even though he wants the answer to be 'yes'.
Kazuha just stared at him for a while, and Heiji patiently waited for her to continue her sentence. But instead of saying something, she looked down again. Not long after, she looked at him again, but this time only a few seconds before she looked down again. And so on until Heiji becomes annoyed.
"Look Kazuha! If you don't like me, just tell me! It's okay, I ... understand!" Reluctantly, finally Heiji decided to say so. But inside him, Heiji could feel, his brain gawking in surprise. 'You ahou! Do you realize of what you just said?! Are you crazy?'.
But Kazuha immediately denied.
"No, it's not like that!". She shouts out loud, making Heiji startled and embarrassed. Plus, everyone in the park now turned towards them.
"Ahou! Why are you suddenly shouting! You shock me! Besides ... " Heiji awkwardly looked around them. This ahou, why does she have to scream! Later these people thought he had done something insolent to her.
But apparently, Kazuha was in a state of being unable to listen. "I-It's not like that! I just ... I just didn't expect ... Didn't expect at all that you ... That you ... Huweeeeee ..." And finally she sobbed loudly.
Heiji covered his face with both hands. Good Heavens! She's crying now!
Heiji did think - hoping - that Kazuha would cry happily. But now, if the situation has become like this ... Now people will be completely misunderstood, he'll really be considered to have harassed her! Oh wow! How embarrassing!
"Oi, Oi, Kazuha, calm down! Stop crying! What's wrong? What have I done?".
Kazuha answered haltingly, she's still sob. "I-It's not like that! I thought- I thought you never ... never liked me. Even though in fact, I really ... really like yo ..."
Kazuha braked her words just in time but still, it failed to save herself because Heiji, the genius Heiji, of course already knew who Kazuha meant, though she didn't finish her sentence.
However, Heiji is now as shocked as Kazuha. Just now, does that mean, Kazuha also ... declared her feelings to him? Even though it seemed like she wasn't aware when she did it, the words just slip out accidentally from her mouth.
"Ka-Kazuha, just now, what do you want to say? Who ... do you really like?".
Nevertheless, Heiji acted stupid and pretended he didn't know it. He wanted to hear the words come out from Kazuha's own mouth. The poor girl's brain, struggling to think of an answer to save her pride, even though it seemed too late for that.
"I-I ... uh ..."
What can the poor girl say?
'Hey, Heiji! I really, really like you for a long time! But since it seems like you don't even care about me, so I obviously have no courage to tell you!'. Okay, first of all, that sounds pathetic! As if she liked him so much, when in fact it was exactly like that. And the second, more importantly is ...
Meanwhile with Heiji, after seeing her reaction, it seems that he won't get the answer he wants so easily. Kazuha still seems to be trying to dodge and cover up, so he decided to attack directly on the spot.
"Is that ... me? Do you like ... me?".
Now that Kazuha was really shocked, she flinched in shock very visibly. Her brain as if struck by lightning. What it wanted to say, immediately gone without a trace somewhere.
Now, how should she answer him?
Kazuha knew, she was still not ready to give Heiji the real answer.
But, if she answered no ...
First, that means she's lying. Besides that, even worse is, what if Heiji believes it? Then, what will happen to their friendship? Will it end?
But apparently Heiji was now paying attention to something which was also unexpectedly by Kazuha.
Her lips!
Heiji swallowed hard. Does her lips always look pink and tempting? Unconsciously, he slowly leaned closer to the girl and that's when Kazuha decided to answer him.
"Heiji ..." Kazuha hesitated for a moment.
"I don't like you ..."
A/N: Muahahaha ... I am so evil!
But worry not! I ship the relation between Heiji and Kazuha!
I just, well, wanted to give Heiji a little lesson, because all this time he had been so indifferent to Kazuha and even when he had realized that he likes her, Heiji still postponed saying his feelings to Kazuha.
I mean, come on! What else is he waiting for?
Please, please, Mr. Aoyama Gosho, quickly write a story about Heiji confessing his feelings for Kazuha! I think we've all waited long enough for that! Why did you add Momiji Ooka's character instead? Oh nooooo!
Anyways, while hoping Mr. Aoyama would continue the story, allow me to have fun with these two of my favorite characters!
To the two 'guests' who have given me reviews, whoever you are, thank you very much! Your reviews always make me excited to write the continuation of the story!
To AR. Deeyn, MiracleOfGreen, Smiley-Nami & blackismycolor31, I am also thankful that you have favored and followed this story!
