Chapter 3.....

Today is finally the day to go to Tropical Land. Kazuha was so excited because she loves theme parks. Those are the places that she would chose to release herself from any form of sadness, stress or depression. She favors the roller coaster the most because when she screams, she is releasing all the burdens that were kept in her heart all the time. It was so refreshing after each ride. But somehow, there are still some 'certain' people who taught that she had gone nuts, thought Kazuha, eyes glancing at Heiji . Heiji interprets her as a childish little girl who loves kiddies' rides. Kazuha snickers silently when a memorable yet comical scene flashback through her mind. She still remembers when she and Heiji went for a roller coaster ride for the first time.....

Flashback.......

"Heiji, Heiji, Let's go for the roller coaster ride. It seems fun!" squealed Kazuha excitingly.
"Huh? What so exciting about sitting in a small car with people screaming like hell?" grunted Heiji when he saw the roller coaster.
"So, are you telling me that YOU are afraid of a ride?" challenged Kazuha. She knew that this is the only way to get Heiji to go with her, which is to provoke him.
"Nonsense! How can I be afraid of a ride? I'll show you. I bet that you will be screaming the hell out of you!" said Heiji confidently.
"Let's just see about it, Mr. Detective. By the way, wanna bet?"
"Umm...how about if I win, you will have to listen to my orders for a week. And if you win, it's the other way round. Deal?"
"Deal."

Ends flashback.....

They took the ride a few times before coming out. Heiji didn't squeal a bit while Kazuha screamed her lungs out. However after they came down from the coaster, the most unexpected incident happened. Heiji vomited in front of everyone. Kazuha giggled at the thought. How embarrassing.....

Eventually, he lost the bet to Kazuha. He had to accompany her to supermarkets when she does her shopping, brings her to watch romantic comedies in the cinemas and cringed every time she mention about it for a week. Of course she enjoyed the whole week; she gets to control Heiji without giving him a chance to grumble. What a memorable one, she thought, stealing glances at Heiji.

In the entrance of Tropical Land....

"Um...Kazuha...do you think we could go separate ways with each other? Well...you know...we..." before Ran could finish the sentence, Shinichi completed it. "wanna have a romantic time between us, hope you two don't mind." said Shinichi sheepishly. Ran pinched Shinichi at the side immediately while blushing furiously. "Ahhh....OUCH! What's THAT for?" said Shinichi showing a puppy face. Kazuha and Heiji looked at the couple with half-mooned eyes understandingly. "Ok, we will leave you both alone. Let's go Heiji. Have a good time." said Kazuha pushing Heiji towards the entrance of the park.

"Ran, how could you do this to me?" asked Shinichi with puppy eyes.
"Can't you think of something less embarrassing to say?! I know what you did was because of Hattori and Kazuha but you didn't have to put it that way!" said a blushing Ran. "Why not? WE need some time for ourselves too, right?" grinned Shinichi. Then Shinichi just wrapped his arm around Ran's waist and they both went on with their romantic time.

"Heiji, at which place should we start first?"
"Umm...how' bout the Haunted Mansion?"
"Ah? Haunt...Haunted...Mansion?" Kazuha's face became pale upon hearing that word. "Umm...do we need to go there first?" asked Kazuha.
"Are you afraid?" taunted Heiji.
"Of course not! However after we come out from the mansion, you have to go for the roller coaster ride with me."
"Fine! Now let's go."

Heiji and Kazuha both went in to the Haunted Mansion. Kazuha obviously doesn't like the idea of going into that scary place because of her experiences with the one in Osaka.

"Heiji! Chotto matte! Don't leave me behind!" said Kazuha while holding Heiji's shirt from behind.
"Walk faster, you're so slow. Look Kazuha!"
Kazuha just turned her head towards the direction that Heiji was pointing at instinctively, forgotten that she is still in the Haunted Mansion. When Kazuha turned around, a bloody looking skeleton came to view right in front of her, dangling from the top.

"AAAHHHHH........................." Kazuha immediately screamed with all her might while wrapping her arms around the closest thing, Heiji. "Get me out'ta here!" pleaded Kazuha. "Alright, alright, I'll get you out'ta here. You don't have to scream that loud!" comfort Heiji while blushing because Kazuha was still wrapping herself tightly around Heiji.

Kazuha let out a sigh of relieve after they left the mansion. I'll get him back when it's time for roller coaster ride...thought Kazuha. Heiji just enjoys his little effort in scaring Kazuha and that little 'hug' from her too. Then they both headed towards for the roller coaster ride as promised.

"Heiji, daijoubu?" asked Kazuha with concern.
"I swear to god that I, Hattori Heiji would not go for the roller coaster anymore." Then he throws up again.
"Gomen nasai! I shouldn't have forced you into this!"
"Aho! I won't go to any rides with you anymore!" Heiji then walked away.
"Where are you going?"
"To the toilet of course!"
"Chotto matte!"

Heiji continued throwing up in the toilet while Kazuha just wait for him outside.
I'm so worried about Heiji. I hope he's fine....
"I know! I'll go buy him a drink to make him feel better!" Kazuha ran off towards the vending machines to buy drinks for Heiji. She bought two cans of soda for Heiji and herself. She turned around immediately and bumped into something and fell down. She felt a bit dizzy from the shock but tried to get up on her own. Before she could push herself up, she felt a hand on her arm, pulling her to her feet. Kazuha glanced up to see the owner of the hand that helped her.
"Gomen nasai! I didn't see properly where I was going. I'll help you to pick up your things." said the person who had just bumped into her.

It was a guy. Kazuha studied him carefully. From the looks, the guy couldn't have been more than 20 years old. He is tall and well built. As a matter of fact, he is sooooo HANDSOME! Kazuha blushed immediately at her last statement. The man picked up her drinks and handed it to her, apologizing again.
"Gomen nasai, here's your drinks." apologized the man.
"It's okay. Arigatoo." said Kazuha, retrieving her drinks from him.
Kazuha grab her drinks and started walking towards the toilet when a hand stopped her suddenly. She turned around and saw the man again.
"Gomen nasai, but may I know your name, please?" asked the man politely.
"Huh? Umm.... I'm Toyama Kazuha...."replied Kazuha, still confused by his sudden forwardness. "Can we be friends?" asked the man. Kazuha didn't reply, instead she just stared at him for a while then, she giggled. "Ano? Did I say something wrong?" asked the man. Kazuha shook her head and spoke. "Well, before you ask someone to befriend with you, you should introduce yourself first. Like this."

Kazuha then demonstrated on how to introduce himself by changing the tone of her voice. "Hello, nice to meet you. I'm blah...blah...blah...would you mind to be friends with me?" demonstrated Kazuha. This time, it was the guy who was trying to hold back his amusement. Kazuha then realized what had she done. She has acted so freely in front of the guy without any thoughts. Oh no.... he would see me as some crazy girl.... thought Kazuha trying to hide her embarrassment.
"Gomen nasai, I wasn't laughing at you. You are just so...ha...ha...so...kawaii..."said the guy, still laughing.
"Ka...kawaii?" said Kazuha blushing at his compliment.
"Yes, you're very kawaii so I would like to have you!" exclaimed the man while holding Kazuha's hands.
"What?!" Kazuha was overily shocked. How could one be this straightforward?
"Oh! I'm sorry. What I meant is I would like you to become my model!" The man explained it without hesitation.
"Mo..model? Me..me?" Kazuha stared into the guy disbelievingly. She? A model? No way!
"Yes! You! A model! You're perfect! This is my card, call me if you're interested. I'll wait for you Kazuha!" The man then gave Kazuha a wink and left a shocked looking Kazuha in front of a vending machine.

"Me? A model? Is this a dream? A handsome guy just asked me to be his model. This must be some kind of joke!" Kazuha said to herself. Kazuha looked at the card in her hand. Hmm...F.U.J.I.T.A.K.A....K.Y.O.U....LEON.... modeling...company....what a name..thought Kazuha.

"Oh no! I forgot! Heiji!" Kazuha ran back towards the toilet immediately. I hope that Heiji won't get mad at me for taking so long...

To be continue.............
