Day Three. Time After Time ~ hana mau machi de ~
"Heiji, can I have a talk with you?"
"Eh?" Kazuha did not wait for his answer, and sat next to him. Heiji immediately had himself straightened up and asked, "em…what do you want to talk? Aren't we talking too much already every day?" Heiji tried to tease Kazuha and he expected her to get angry, but she just remained silence.
"Heiji, are you looking for that girl?" asked Kazuha.
"Girl? What girl?"
"Aho! The girl that you've met before! You said that she's the first girl that you fall for!"
"Oh, I see," said Heiji, he immediately knew the reason behind her sudden change in attitude to him. "Do you want to help me looking for the girl?"
"Aho! Who wants to look her for you! I'm just wondering what you would do if you could find her finally."
"I just want to return the crystal gem to her, that's it. There's nothing between us," said Heiji; "moreover, I had found the most precious jewel in my life already." He whispered the last sentence that Kazuha could not even hear it.
"Huh? Are you saying anything?"
Heiji immediately shook his head, "so this's what you want to talk to me?"
Kazuha's face blushed immediately, "of course not. I'm here to ask you whether you had solved the puzzle for this case? Maybe I could help you."
~*~*~*~*~*~
Although Kazuha had offered help to Heiji, she was too tired for today's trip. She fell asleep not long afterward; her head was leaning against Heiji's shoulder.
"Aho!" Heiji whispered slightly, he tried to put her in the bed without waking her up. After he had put her down in the bed, he found out that his sleeves was underneath Kazuha's body. Heiji tried to pull his sleeves out, but then he fell on top of Kazuha instead.
"Heiji-niichan!" The door suddenly opened, and Conan, Ran, and Sonoko entered the room. They saw the most suspicious scene; Heiji and Kazuha were a bit too close together. They were all blushing, "Hattori-kun, what're you doing here?" Ran asked immediately.
Kazuha had woken already with all the noises around, and found out that Heiji was on top of her. "Heiji!" She pushed Heiji onto the floor at once, and her face was flushing deeply.
"I…I'd just tried to put Kazuha on the bed," explained Heiji.
"To put her on the bed!" Both Conan and Sonoko looked at Heiji with half-mooned eyes. Heiji immediately noticed that he had said something wrong, "it's nothing that you're thinking! Kazuha fell asleep, so I just want her to sleep on the bed, but my sleeves was underneath her!" Heiji tried hard to clear all the confusion; he did not want them to think him as a pervert.
"In my opinion, your explanation is not enough to clear all the confusion," Sonoko just enjoyed teasing the helpless Heiji, "so why are you on top of Kazuha?"
"It's just an accident!" Heiji said loudly.
"Kazuha-chan, let's go back to our room," said Ran. Sonoko nodded her head at once, "let's leave immediately, or else you would be in danger." They then left Conan and Heiji alone in the room.
~*~*~*~*~*~
The next day, they were divided into two groups to search for hints around Kyoto. Heiji and Kazuha were in the same group, while Conan, Ran and Sonoko in the other group. There was some weird moment between Heiji and Kazuha after what had happened last night.
After the whole day of investigation, both Heiji and Kazuha were quite exhausted, "let's go to find Ran-chan and the others if they have found anything," suggested Kazuha.
"Okay, maybe Ku…Conan could find anything interesting." They then both rode on the motorcycle to meet Conan. Suddenly, someone in an old man mask was chasing after them with a motorcycle. An arrow was shot at them.
"Wow, Heiji! Be careful!" Kazuha was screaming loudly. The man had gone past them, "Kazuha, hold me tight!" Heiji immediately followed the man on his motorcycle, "he must be the one behind all those murders!"
The suspect's motorcycle was left on the road, "Kazuha, stay here!" Heiji then went to search for the masked man alone. "Heiji! Wait!"
~*~*~*~*~*~
Heiji finally found the masked man, but he handed him a wooden sword, "wanna to play some kendo?" Within a second, Heiji was already fighting with the masked man. The crystal gem had fallen out from Heiji's pocket, and Heiji noticed that the masked man wanted it.
The masked man had really good kendo skill; Heiji was almost losing, "you're the one behind all the murders, right?" Heiji wanted to get some more evidence to prove that he was right. But the masked man attacked him more fiercely instead; he hit hard on Heiji's forehead and blood was bleeding.
He was about to kill Heiji, and then he heard someone calling from distance. "Officer! I've heard someone fighting there, come on!" It was Kazuha, and she was worried about Heiji. She found out that Heiji was wounded, and his forehead was bleeding, "Heiji, are you okay?" However, Heiji fainted already.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Aw….where am I?" Heiji opened his eyes and saw Kazuha's worried face before him. "Heiji, you're at the hospital!"
"Hei-chan! It's dangerous to fight with the suspects! How can I face your parents if anything worst had ever happened to you," said Otaki.
"Don't worry! I'll be fine," said Heiji, "but it's too bad that I let him escaped. If we can find any of his belongings, we could know who's the head of the organization!"
Kazuha remembered something before when she had come for Heiji, "Ran-chan, please help me to look after Heiji!"
"Huh? Wait!" Kazuha had left already before Ran could ask her anything.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"This is it," Kazuha said to herself. She had found a broken piece of mask from the suspect. However, she did not notice a dark shadow was coming close to her.
