Kazuha was bored. Incredibly bored. She hated parties like this. Firstly, because she always felt left out. Being the only one with legs in a kingdom with only mermaids. Secondly, sitting alone and looking at people isn't her thing. Sitting on rocks on the beach, looking at the stars and singing the song her mom always sang was her thing.
"Kazuha-chaaan!" Sonoko called her as she swam towards Kazuha's table, "What's wrong? Is it because of the hair. It looks beautiful on you."
"It's not because of that." Kazuha sighed. "Sonoko can you do me a favor please?"
"It depends on what the favor is." Sonoko eyed her suspiciously.
"Can you cover for me please please please? I'll just go up to the shore for a few minutes and come back I promise." Kazuha looked at her pleading with her puppy eyes.
"Oh god Kazuha. Seriously?! What if your mom finds out?" Sonoko shouted in a whisper.
"It's okay. I'll spell her." Kazuha gave a her a wide smile.
"You're crazy." Sonoko said.
"But you love me anyway."
"Hattori I tried catching her but no matter what I can't find her. What makes you think you'll be able to find her if I can't?" Shinichi said as Heiji was walking towards the beach.
"What's wrong with trying. Plus it's non of your business anyway and I'm a better detective so..." Heiji smirked, "it won't take too long."
Kazuha swam up to the shore and sat on the rock she always sits on. She looked at the dark sky that has little sparkling diamonds on it and she started singing.
"Oh my sweet torment,
No point in fighting, you start again
I'm just a worthless being
Without him I'm a bit troubled
I wander around alone on the subway
A last dance
To forget my great misery
I want to get away, everything to start again,
Oh my sweet torment
I stir the sky, the day, the night
I dance with the wind, the rain
A bit of love, a drop of honey
And I dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
And in the noise, I run and I'm afraid"
As Heiji was heading towards the beach he heard a beautiful voice and he heard a song. The song. He walked towards the voice slowly and sang along with it. Until he saw her.
"A bit of love, a drop of honey, and I dance, dance, dance, dance, dance. And in the noise, I run and I'm afraid." As they both sang the voices were becoming lower and lower as she realized someone was with her. She would normally swim away if she heard someone but that person memorized the lyrics so that means she knows them or something. Then she saw him. He grew. He has stronger features than before and he looked more mature and he has muscles too she realized but she can't see more than that because it was dark.
"It's you isn't it? The half-mermaid girl right?" Heiji asked right away not waiting any longer. He had waited for years and he finally found her. He's been dreaming about her a lot. A lot.
Kazuha was about to jump into the ocean but he caught her before she did. She looked at him shocked. "You're not supposed know me or see me. Please let go."
"I promise I won't tell anyone about you. Just can we talk a little."
Kazuha looked at him and thought about it. "Alright."
Heiji stared at her. "Come on." He said impatient.
"Uh, I think you forgot something." Kazuha said.
Then Heiji remembered, "oh yeah. You can't walk, even though you have legs...?"
"I live in the ocean, idiot."
"Alright then." Heiji carried her bridal style.
"What are you doing?" Kazuha asked shocked and embarrassed.
"You can't walk, but I can." Heiji answered.
Kazuha didn't say anything but she hid her face in his chest because she didn't him want to see her blushing face. Little did she know that it made him smile and made his heart skip a beat.
They sat in a cave where no one can see them. They sat next to each other. Quite. If you say it's awkward then it's definitely an understatement.
"So, what is it that you really wanted to talk about?" Kazuha asked in an extremely shy tone.
"To be honest, you're more shy than I thought you'd be." Heiji chuckled, "I wanted to ask you some questions and I want to get to know you more."
"Ask away."
"How are you a half-mermaid? I mean I've read books and searched through the internet but I never found a thing about half-mermaids." Heiji said.
"Internet?" Kazuha asked confused. What in the world is internet?
"Oh it's something that I'll show later if you ever wanna meet later." Heiji said feeling kind of shy himself even though he was never the type to be shy.
"Okay."
"So? Answer my question." Heiji reminded Kazuha to answer his question.
"My mom is a mermaid and my dad was a wizard. We wanted to live as a family and my mom couldn't turn into a human because she has a kingdom to run. My dad went to get a potion to turn himself to a merman and he died because of it and because of that stupid witch who gave it to him. Thankfully I can breathe underwater so I lived with my mom. I have my dad's spell book so I can survive underwater." Kazuha explained.
Heiji was shocked, "I'm sorry."
"It's alright. Anyways I've got to go back home before my mom finds out." Kazuha said.
"Wait your mom is a queen right? Which makes you a princess." Heiji asked.
"Yes. Can you take me back home?"
"Sure."
Heiji carried her again to the stone that she normally sits on but before she jumped he yelled. "Wait, what's your name?"
"Kazuha. My name is Kazuha. What's yours?"
"I'm Hattori Heiji. You can call me Heiji. I'm the prince of the Osakan kingdom."
"Okay then. Bye Heiji."
"Bye Kazuha."
Hi guys. I know that the chapter seems abbot OOC but you've got to know that they hadn't met each other in ten years and the song is called last dance for Indila.
