Chapter 4: Fun!!!

******************************************

The next morning, Kazuha woke up earlier than usual. The sun light had managed somehow to pass through the curtains and end up right on her face, and she found herself dizzily crashing her right arm with her face in an attempt to stop the bothering rays of light.She rubbed her eyes, sat up, and took a look at the room. 'Oh yeah... vacation in Okinawa... with Ran-chan and Kudô-kun...'. She turned her head to the left and saw Ran, who was still sleeping. 'Ran-chan and Kudô-kun... Ran-chan and Kudô-kun...' then last night's conversation stomped in. 'oh'. Kazuha blushed like a tomato: last night's conversation!!

She couldn't believe it as Ran told her the events happened on the week after the Black Organisation's downfall.

"After that, Shinichi recovered his adult form; though Ai decided to remain small herself.", she remembered Ran telling her. "She told me she wanted to begin a normal life, and that it was best for all of us too", Ran said, smiling somewhat sadly. "So, Conan returned to America with his parents after saying goodbye to his friends; that little girl, Ayumi-chan, even cried a little and Ai had to console her... anyway, Ai and Prof. Agasa said that the antidote for Shinichi would be ready soon and that he should sleep as much as possible to avoid exhaustion while he grew back." Ran stopped for a few seconds, and then went on.

"But, since I confirmed Conan-kun's 'secret', I haven't talked to him, not even a single word. I couldn't... I don't know if I was angry, or sad, or.. I just couldn't. While he was sleeping I met Ai, who was coming out of the lab. She talked to me, about herself, and about Shinichi. She told me a lot about him. Also about the organisation... I began to understand Shinichi's reasons for hiding... I thought about that for a long time, until Shinichi woke up, almost, ready to take the pill that woud return him to his own self. I went into his bedroom, where he was, prepared for the process, and just held his hand, and he smiled at me. An hour later (which I don't want to ever relive again... so many pain in his face, and his cries...), he was adult again, and after Prof. Agasa checked on him, he fell asleep again. I also went to sleep a bit to the room next to his, after phoning dad to make sure it was all right with him and mom at her house. You know that damn organisation set our house on fire, right? I had to slep at Shinichi's house from then on... and dad went to mom's house! And he didn't seem angry at all... so it might even turn out fine", she smiled.

"An hour later or so I found Shinichi by my side, telling me to hurry because we would go shopping! ...After I recovered from the initial shock, it was one of the best days I've had in all my life. He wouldn't let go of my hand, not that I would complain, and that evening we shared our firt real kiss..." Ran blushed as she continued her story. "From then on, we didn't stop... and that night... well... that." Ran looked at Kazuha's expecting face and blushed "No way I'm going to tell you the details!! Adults only!!"

Ran didn't look as if she would continue talking about that, at least on her own will, so Kazuha drifted the talk to other matters, and after an hour or two of happy chat they felt it was time to go to sleep.

'Mmmm... it's soooooooo romantic...' Kazuha's mind returned to the real world when she heard a yawn. Ran had got up and was heading to the bathroom. The two were up early it seemed.

After both girls took a shower and got dressed, they decided it was time to head downstairs for breakfast, so they left their room and went to the boys' one. Kazuha tapped the door and waited for someone to open it. And waited. And waited...

Well, three minutes of waiting for someone to open the door sure can make a girl edgy.

"Kazuha-chan?", Ran asked.

"Yeah?"

"Is Hattori-kun by any chance a heavy sleeper?"

"Now that you say it... whenever we don't have work to do, he sleeps as much as he can...", Kazuha said.

"I suppose emergency mesures are necessary, then", Ran smiled, as she took a key card from her skirt's pocket. Kazuha stared at her, surprise in her face.

"You have a card for their room?".

Ran grinned at her friend, and pushed the card into the lock. "Shinichi suggested I had one too in case something like this happened."

"I see..."

The two girls entered the boys' room, and their suspects were confirmed. Shinichi and Heiji were both spread on their beds, sheets all over the floor. "What a mess... you can't leave them alone, ne?" Ran muttered, heading to Shinichi's bed. "Ok, you wake your boy and I wake mine."

"He's not my-!" Kazuha interrupted, but Ran wasn't listening, or so she thought.

The Tôkyô girl was already by Shinichi's side, at the bed closer to the window, and, whispering, told Kazuha, "Wait and see, he'll be up in three seconds exactly!"

At first, Kazuha didn't know how could Ran possibly do that, but... wait... just what was she doing? Ran was kissing him!! Fully in his mouth!! Kazuha was blushing to no end, her eyes like plates. And she held her hand up with three fingers, to count down the three seconds!? Exactly when the last finger went down, she saw Shinichi's eyes open to meet Ran's. "See? Told you!!" Ran said, up again, light blush on her cheeks but otherwise happily smiling.

"Told who what?" Shinichi asked, getting up and still looking at Ran, who urged him to turn over. Then he faced Kazuha, and smiled."Oh, good morning, Tôyama"

Kazuha closed her eyes and sighed. " ... Good morning."

"Now... how do we get Osaka boy up?" Ran said, grinning again. Obviouly, Kazuha would have to kill her later for all that, or at least so told her eyes.

Well, she had to do something, so... "Heiji...", she shaked the sleeping boy. No answer. She shaked him again. "Heijiiiiii...". Still nothing. Ok, her patience limit was near... "Heiji, wake up..." He stiffened a bit in his sleep, and turned left so that he faced her. Well, 'faced' wasn't probably the exact expression... his eyes were firmly closed. Kazuha finally kneeled so her head was at the same height as his, and slowly closed the distance between them...

"AHÔ!! WAKE UP!!"

Ran and Shinichi didn't expect that and nearly fell to the floor in surprise. Heiji scratched his head and slowly opened his eyes. He saw a bare neck... a bare shoulder at the right... a bareshoulder at the left... and down... a tube top. Oh well. Up... an angry face... oh, yeah. Kazuha.

"Mornin'...", he told her. Hopefully, she wouldn't yell at him like yesterday... He saw her face soften, and she repeated what he said. So, she wasn't angry anymore... good... he smiled at her, and was glad to have an understanding smile in return.

"Come on, Hattori! It's time to get up!" Huh? Where had this one come from? Heiji turned, and let out a shriek when he saw this wo Tôkyô friends staring at him with what he could only describe as an evil smile and half-closed eyes. Heiji got up to stand by Kazuha, and went to the bathroom with a set of clothes. Two minutes later (record time!!), he came out all clean and dressed in his blue jeans and dark green t-shirt, which he noticed later was somewhat similar to Kazuha's top... coincidence. Yeah.

"How did you two get in the room?", he asked the girls, while Shinichi also took his clothes and headed for the bathroom.

"I also have a key", Ran answered smiling. "In case you didn't get up in time for breakfast."

Heiji scowled. "Hey, I don't know about Kudô but I do appreciate my privacy, you know. Oh! I know. I'll get a card to your room too", he said, smiling evilly. Kazuha blushed brightly, but Ran didn't seem so impressed about the idea.

"Shinichi has one, so you can ask him. It's up to him to let you have it though..." the girl smiled. Right then Shinichi came out (he's fast too!! ;P). "Shall we go?"

"Let's go!", Kazuha said. With that, they left the room and headed downstairs.

************

"It seems Heiji is much better today, don't you think so?", Ran asked her friend, back in their rooms. They were changing into their bikinis, and preparing towels and suncreams for a relaxing day in the beach.

"Yeah... I wonder what did Kudô-kun tell him... this morning he even asked me to bring him more toasts, and last night he acted as if I didn't exist!", Kazuha said as she took a towel out of the guardrobe.

"You can ask him directly then, Hattori-kun I mean"

Kazuha blushed for the hundreth time that morning. "Ask Heiji? B-but... I don't think he'll tell me..."

"But you do need to talk, don't you? And the sooner it's done, the better for you two", Ran said. "You don't want him to leave you again, right...? It's important that you two talk, Kazuha-chan..."

"I-I suppose you're right..." Kazuha looked down, but smiled. Then she gazed up again, and saw Ran had already changed. Time to change subject! "Wow, Ran-chan, that is a wonderful bikini!". She wore a dark red with white stains bikini, the upper top-like part tied at her neck.

"You like it? I bought it this week", Ran said happily. "Yours is pretty too, Kazuha-chan."

"You think so?". Kazuha's one was a blue strapless bikini, with a white band at the waist. Well, she was also quite fond of it, so she appreciated Ran's compliment.

"Yes, I really like it. Well, are you ready? We decided we'd meet at the beach, so we can go and wait in the water, ne?"

******

Hey, wanna bet what the girls will wear? I say blue bikini for Kazuha and black and white for Ran!

They boys were still in their room as Kazuha and Ran went into the elevator.

"No bet this time... besides, I already know Ran's one, and it's not black as you say. It's red and white...", Shinichi said, busy looking for his flip-flops (AN: just found that word in the dictionary... isn't it a funny one? ^^).

"Hey, I have a question for you, Kudô..."

"And it is...?". Yeah, there were the flip-flops. Now, towel and to the beach...

"How far did you go with Neechan?". At that, Shinichi looked at Heiji with half closed eyes, and went to the door. "Hey, I want to know! Kudô! Don't leave!!"

"Fine, fine. Just... really far, ok?"

"Really far?"

"NC-17..."

"Yeah!!! Knew it!!! But don't you want to be in the same room as her, Ku--"

"And how far have you gone with Tôyama, Hattori?", Shinichi interrupted. This time it was the Osaka boy who went to the exit door with his eyes half closed...

*******************

Just as she was getting out of the water, Kazuha spotted the two teenagers coming to the seashore from the hotel. "Ran-chan! There they are!", she told her friend, who was sitting and drying her hair with a towel. Ran turned to look at them too, as they approached the girls.

"You sure took your time up there!" She told them. Shinichi had already sat to her left, and took the sunspray bottle as Ran smiled and moved her hair aside so he could put some protection on her back.

"Sorry, couldn't find the flip-flops... (AN: I know, I know!! But I like that word!)", he told her while spraying some suncream and massaging her back, making Ran blush a little.

Kazuha noticed how close the contact between the Tôkyô couple got, and blushed a little too. Heiji was at Shinichi's left, telling him something about having guessed the colour or similar, and Kazuha decided to sit next to him. But not long after she sat, Heiji looked at her and then at the sea, silently telling her to go there with him. Looking over him, she saw Shinichi and Ran laying down looking at the sky, Shinichi hugging her girlfriend from behind and she with her head on his chest, in a bubble of their own. Yeah, better have a swim. Kazuha got up and Heiji followed her.

The day was a bit cloudy and the sun hadn't warmed up the water, so when Heiji got to the shore his feet met cold. Kazuha was already wet, so she didn't notice it as much as the first time she got into the water. "Come on, it's not that cold!!", she told him when she saw he was still at knees' level.

"You say that because you were in the water before!", Heiji replied.

Kazuha approached him and laughed. "It was cold when I first got in, and I didn't doubt as much as you're now. Come oooon!!". She got behind him and pushed, making him go a bit further from the shore.

The water now touched Kazuha's waist, Heiji being taller only was soaked to his thighs.'Ok,' Kazuha thought, 'we're going nowhere like this. Let's have some fun!'

Heiji noticed Kazuha got closer and put her left leg around his while her hands took a steady grip of his shoulders. Suddenly, the water was very near. "Wha-"

*SPLASH*

Kazuha had pushed him into the water face first as soon as he lost balance because of her strategically situated leg. Now they were both under the water. Heiji shrieked and, feeling cold, swimmed to warm himself up, but Kazuha, enjoying her little joke, didn't loosen her grip on him, and was dragged with him while he moved further from the shore. When they got to the surface to breath some fresh air, she found that her arms were around Heiji's neck and taht she was more by his side than on his back because of the grip she had on his leg. Well, all in all it felt like quite a compromising situation.

"C-cold...", Heiji said, shivering. "Why did you do THAT!?". He turned left to look at her, but found her face closer than he expected and inevitably blushed. "Uh..."

Kazuha blushed too, but luckily she found something else to pay attention to. What was that thing touching her thigh? Something on his pocket...no, not that, hentai!! It was another thing... she slowly let go of him. They were quite far, so she had to swim to keep har head up. Before, Heiji was the one swimming for the two, she noticed. Oh yeah, speaking of Heiji... what had he just asked? Ah, that. "Well... you'd be still doubting wether to wet your hair or not if I hadn't pushed you in! Besides, your face makes it worth the effort..." She felt the sudden urge to laugh, but seeing him turn away and leave she decided against that. "W-wait!!"

"What is it now...", he sighed, turning back to face her.

"Um... what is it you have in your pocket? If it's your cell phone, it will be soaked...

"Huh? In my pocket? Oh, that..." Saying nothing more, he put his hand in said pocket and took out something familiar..."Wasn't it you who told me not to ever leave it behind? So here it is."

"The omamori..."

Kazuha slowly reached Heiji's situation and stopped a meter away from him. Her face was serious now, and maybe... even sad? As he got a bit closer, Heiji noticed her wet bangs were aside and no longer hiding the bruise on her forehead. The one on her chest was not visible, though... he blushed a little, remembering the 'not until married' thing. But then he looked back at her face, just as she was opening her mouth to say something they both already knew... but resisted to accept for the sake of some fun that day.

"Heiji, you know... we need to talk, don't you? About-"

"I know, I know...", he interrupted. "Just... later, ok? Now..." By then he was a little too close, in Kazuha's oppinion. He kept approaching until his nose was only centimetres away from hers and raised a hand to cup her blushing cheek. 'Is he-- oh no--- he is!--'

"Heiji...". Her eyes were already half closed and her was was going to meet his when Kazuha felt a little too much presure on her cheek. At the same time, she felt a foot pushing her leg aside... and then-

"Hei-glhewbs!--" Heiji had forced her into the water!! He had both his hands busy keeping her head in the salty water and was laughing like there was no tomorrow, watching her struggle with arms and legs. She even punched him a few times in the ribs, but to no avail. Only when she stopped did Heiji let her go up and breath, but by the time she had recovered he was quite far - never underestimate an angry Kazuha! And angry she was, that was for sure. She was swimming to him at a notable speed, and he decided it was time to go out of the water and sunbath. Yeah, that was a good idea. Still laughing, he swimmed to the shore, Kazuha following him and dangerously near.

"Heijiiiiii!! Don't run awaaaaaayyyyy!!!!!!! You nearly drowned me!! Ahô!! Heyyy!!---"

********

At the beach, Ran and Shinichi were enjoying the show.

"Ne, Shinichi, should we go help Hattori-kun?". Ran looked down at Shinichi, who sat between her legs leaning his head on her stomach. She was hugging him from behind, and leaned her chin on his head as she said that.

"Nah... leave them with their bussiness. Besides, you make a good chair... I don't wanna get up...", Shinichi answered, caressing the arms around him.

Ran suddenly blinked an eye. "Ow".

"What happened?"

"Nothing... just a drop of water" Right then, Shinichi also felt a drop fall on his knee. "See? It's beginning to rain..."

"Yeah. We better pack our things up in case it gets worse... I'll take care of Hattori's things, you take Tôyama's, ok?"

"Yessir!!", Ran smiled, and began packing too.

*********

"Huh? Rain?"

"What do you mean, rain? It's you who's splashing water on my face!!"

"No, Kazuha, it's raining."

Kazuha had just got hold of one of Heiji's foot (the other was moving wildly, making Kazuha unable to see anything than water), but felt obliged to let go of it when she heard that.

"Neechan is packing your things up, so don't worry. Wow, it really is cloudy!", Heiji exclaimed, looking up at the sky.

"Yes..."

Heiji caught her by the wrist. "Come on, they're already waving at us to go there. It's raining heavier now."

"Ok, ok... but remember that I'm not finished yet!"

"Come on, Kazuha, you pushed me into the water before, so we're even! Now let's go."

Kazuha sighed. "I suppose you're right...". She followed Heiji to the beach, where their friends were waiting.

*******************

"Arigatô, Ran-chan! If you hadn't picked up my towel it would be soaked by now!", Kazuha told her friend.

They were now on their way to the elevator, after having stopped for a minute at the bar to pick up some food -rice balls, sandwiches... a good lunch, all in all-. Heiji had brought with him a pack of cards, so they decided to spend the afternoon playing cards and having fun.Boys and girls split up to change clothes, and ten minutes later they met in the girls' room, where the food was already prepared on the table, and began playing.

Two hours later, Heiji was sending a death glare at his Tôkyô friends, Joker in his hand.

"Oi, Kudô! It's not fair play if you help your girlfriend win!" Obviously, Ran had won more than half of the games. Unluckily for Heiji, the other victories were for Kazuha, and that left the two teenagers as big loosers.

"Hey, it's not my fault if Ran is the queen of games. Besides, I could say the same about you and Tôyama. She's won all the games Ran hasn't! Unless..." Shinichi looked at Kazuha and Ran, who where next to each other happily smiling. "You've been playing together against us!! Ran!"

Ran put on her most innocent face and looked at Shinichi. "We?". Kazuha, unable to resist anymore, was spread on the sofa she and her friend shared and laughing to no end.

"Ha ha... and you... call yourselves detectives? We've been plotting the game for the last 40 minutes!!"

Shinichi half closed his eyes. But they hadn't been cheating... they'd just joined their good luck. And the first hour they won by themselves. "Hattori, we can't win against them... even if they play alone."

Heiji humphed. "I knew Kazuha was damn good, but Ran too? That's not fair!"

"Anyway", Ran said, "I'm getting tired of playing the same game over and over again. Why don't we go to the beach? It's stopped raining... for now at least".

"You're right..." Heiji said looking outside. The rain had stopped, and it seemed it would take its time to begin again.

"Ok. See you in ten minutes in our room?" Said Shinichi, already by the door.

Heiji followed him, and the two girls were left alone in their room. They also changed into their still wet bikinis (AN: cooold!! _) and picked up the spread cards and the rests of food before going to the boys' room. When they got there Shinichi and Heiji were ready to go down as well, so no time was waisted and soon all four teenagers were having fun in the water.

At half past six more or less though, it began raining again, and they had to go to their rooms again. As it was quite late, they went to the restaurant for dinner (that night was japanes food's turn!).

"Oi, Kudô", Heiji asked when they were talking about nothing in particular.

"What is it?

"The day before you two came to Osaka you phoned me and said you had something important to announce. And I think you haven't told me what it is yet ."

"That's right!", Kazuha joined the conversation. "What is it you had to tell us?". Beside her, Ran had a curious expression.

"Is it about...?", she asked.

"Yeah, that. We forgot to tell them yesterday it seems...". The he faced the Osaka couple. "Well, it's about Ran and I... you see, we..." Damn, he couldn't find the words...

Ran went on in his place. "What he's trying to say, is that... we're getting married."

At that, the Osaka pair looked at Shinichi, who had a very funny smile (Kazuha couldn't tell if it was sheepish or more like shy), and then looked at each other. Then looked back and the now official couple.

"..."

"..."

Their faces slowly began to change into a dreamy expression. Kazuha nearly had stars in her eyes, or so Shinichi thought. Heiji was much like the same.

"CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!" They both screamed finally. The whole restaurant knew by then, and Shinichi and Ran thought seriously of hiding under the table. But of course, Heiji and Kazuha wouldn't stop just then.

"Where?"

"When?"

"Are we invited?"

"Of course we are, Ran-chan's our friend!!"

"Don't think so high of yourself!!"

"I don't!!"

"You do!!"

"No way!!!"

Ran couldn't stand it anymore. "Oh, that's enough!!! Stop you two!!!"

That effectively stopped them Silently, Kazuha thought her friend was beginning to sound like a married woman...

Some more minutes of silence.

And some more...

Kazuha finally decided to speak. "But, Kudô-kun, aren't you supposed to give her a ring?"

It was Shinichi's time to blush now. "Um, well, you see... it was decided in kind of a rush, so..."

"Oh, I get it. An NC-17 moment, wasn't it?", Heiji guessed. The couple turned bright red, so he supposed he was right. "Well, at least you can tell us when is the wedding, ne?", he grinned.

The conversation went on for a long time, discussing what Heiji and Kazuha would buy the couple as a wedding present among other things, but all for fun, because, as Shinichi and Ran repeated over and over, they weren't getting married at least until they graduated at University. And first was the problem of all the school he missed while he was Conan... there weren't many months left of high school. "No problem with that," Shinichi said, "I can pass the finals quite easily, and I already have invitations from many Universities without need of taking any exams, so no need to worry about that". Talk about advantages of being famous at eighteen.

But as the time passed, Heiji noticed the girls were getting kinda uncomfortable.

"Neechan, Kazuha, what's up? Isn't the food good?"

Kazuha shyly looked up at him. "No... you'll probably think that we're insane or worse, but..."

Shinichi was curious too. "But what?"

"It's that we've been in the same place for a whole day, and... how can I say it... it's... strange that... that there hasn't been any murder yet!! Usually by now a corpse would come from the sea, or fall off a balcony, or someone would die of food poisoning!! It's not normal that there's so much peace around you two!!", Ran exclaimed nervously.

Sweatdrops were on the two detectives' faces.

"Hm... we should go to our room, shouldn't we?", Kazuha muttered. "Before something happens, I mean... besides, you're out of service this week, so..."

"Ok, ok". The two boys got up, and the girls followed them. Yeah, better go to sleep... "It's quite late, now that you mention it... nearly nine, and I want to take a warm bath before going to sleep...", Heiji said.

No more words needed, the group headed towards the elevator and to their rooms.

************

"So, Kazuha-chan, did you talk with Hattori-kun?", Ran asked.

Kazuha was coming out of the bathroom, where she had just taken a quick but relaxing bath, and sat on the bed. "Not yet...", she answered. "Suppose we didn't have much time today to talk about it."

"But you seemed to be much better around each other... specially this morning at the beach...", Ran grinned. Time to tease her friend a little!

"T-that was... we were joking around, nothing more. Well, he was himself again today, that's true, but I didn't do anything at all. At the beach we only decided that we had to talk, but that was all. We haven't talked about the accident yet... maybe tomorrow."

As she was saying all that while changing into her pajamas, Ran noticed the bruise on her chest. It was located between her breasts, closer to her left side. It wasn't that she hadn't seen it before, but she felt that now was time to talk about it. "Ne, Kazuha-chan, I've been wondering... how exactly did you get that bruise? You had to fall quite hard to get it..."

"Not that hard...", Kazuha said, touching the area around it. Then she put on her sleeveless pajama top, covering the bruise. "In fact, it happened while Heiji was turning left at a close curve. He was driving slowly, but I lost my grip on him and fell. I have that bruise because I fell on the road's end and I hit the guardrail before touching the ground, that's why all the bruises are at the left side of my body."

"I see..."

"Anyway, the only one that still hurts a little is the one on my forehead because those men didn't give us enought time to get our helmets, so the one on my chest is no big deal..."

But Ran wanted to return to the first subject, so she ignored her rambling and made her question. "So, when are you going to talk to him?"

"And my ankle is fine too, so I don't know why he worries so much, and--- oh that. Well... maybe tomorrow... or when we return home... I don't know."

"Why not tonight?

"W-what?"

"You do need to talk, don't you? And the sooner the better, that's for sure. Besides, it's not a bad idea that--" Kazuha was more and more scared as Ran spoke. Wherever she was going to with her advices, it wasn't good!!

She nearly fainted when she heard what Ran said next.

"Tonight you're sleeping with Heiji, and it's final!!"

"Ran-chan..." Kazuha tried to smile, sweatdropping. No. Definitely not that...

"No 'Ran-chan'. I'm going to see Shinichi and tell him that he'll be changing rooms with you"

"But..."

Even if she said anything, Ran wouldn't have heard her, for she was already heading to the boys' room. No...

'How can she do that to me!!??' was Kazuha's first thought.She tried to go after her, but, strangely, her body was paralyzed with fear (well, she though it was fear), and wouldn't obey. 'But it maybe would be the best', she continued. Yeah, try to convince yourself, Kazuha. 'Ran probably wants to be with Kudô-kun, now that he finally came back, and... well, I do have to talk with Heiji someday. But sleeping in the same room!? No way!! Is Ran crazy?? But now that I think of it, it wouldn't be the first time... but we were kids back then!! It's not the same!!' And she went on and on with her thoughts, trying to decide on wether to kill Ran or not, and how was she supposed to sleep with a boy... no wait, a man!! And she was a woman, for God's sake!! Only couples sleep in the same room!! At that, she blushed madly. Then she heard the door open and Ran's voice.

"Kazuha-chan, I'm here!"

She came into the room with a smiling Shinichi holding her hand, his things on his other hand. He was also dressed with the hotel's yukata, and Kazuha supposed he had already taken his bath.

"Ran-chan, I can't do that!! Heiji's not... we're not--!!"

"Hattori-kun was in the bathroom and I didn't want to disturb him, so you'll give him a surprise.", Ran 'answered' as she went to put Shinichi's things in the bathroom. She didn't notice him following her, and was surprised when he hugged her from behind and tenderly kissed her shoulder.

"Talking about baths, do you feel like taking one now?" He whispered to her ear.

Kazuha was startled to see such an intimate scene, Shinichi holding Ran from behind, kissing her and asking her something she couldn't hear, but could tell what it could be from Ran's blush. Feeling out of place, she quickly packed her things said goodnight to the still hugging couple.

"Sleep well, you sweetbirds!!" She told them.

Another blush came to her face when Shinichi told her exactly the same, a wide grin on his face. At that moment she hated them.

***************


When she entered what would be her new room, she could see steam coming out from the bathroom. Apparently, both men took their time in the bath. She began to put her clothes in place while she waited for Heiji to come out of the bathroom to tell him the 'news'. Shen she finished, she sat on the bed and turned on the tv. The volume was too high. Now, where was the remote control for it?

Ten minutes later, the same channel still on (she didn't feel like moving), Kazuha was beggining to feel bored. 'Is he never coming out?', she thought. Apparently not. Well then, she was also tired. Deciding not to wait anymore, she began to unfold the sheets, and was already with her legs in the bed when the tv suddenly turned off. She looked at her left to find Heiji at the bathroom door with the TV remote control in his hand, and, she noticed blushing, only a towel on his waist. He apparently hadn't seen her yet, for he began to talk, eyes on the black screen.

"Oi, Kudô, with this on I can't relax!". And he began walking to the bed, still not looking at her. When he arrived there, not having received an answer from 'Kudô', Heiji looked up and froze right where he was. Finally, the other person in his room said something.

"Yo."
