Chapter 9. Doki-Doki"Heiji, so you know that girl," said Asaba, "what's her name?" Asaba was bugging Heiji for information on Kazuha.
"She's nothing to do with you," said Heiji. "Moreover, I don't think it's a good idea for you to make her your girlfriend. You don't even know her true self. She can be quite dangerous sometimes."
"But I think she's good enough to be my girl," said Asaba. "Judging by her appearance. She's kawaii. Moreover, she's now at a tender age growing from a girl to a woman. Don't you think it's so nice to stay by her side, looking her growing both physically and mentally?"
"She's not kawaii, and she's not gentle," said Heiji. "Who wants to see her growing? I've seen her for years already!"
"Hattori, you're still a child," said Asaba, "don't you want your school life filled with love." Heiji immediately sweat dropped at his words and walked away from him.
"Heiji, wait for me. It's so crowded here," said Kazuha, holding lots of shopping bags in her hands.
"I've told you to leave early, you've spend too much time shopping," complained Heiji, "it's almost rush hour now, and the subway would be very crowded now."
"I'm not shopping for myself, I'm helping you to choose a present for obaasan. And these…" explained Kazuha, holding her shopping bags high, "…I just buy these when we're finding the best present."
"Oh, what a good reason," said Heiji with his half-mooned eyes, "the subway is coming, let's go."
Heiji and Kazuha were already in a crowded train, "Heiji, can you move a bit forward, because it's so crowded here."
"I've told you that it's rush hour now," said Heiji. "There're no more space, and I can't even more an inch! Just stay like this for a while, we'll be there within twenty minutes." A fruity smell from Kazuha had entered Heiji's nose, which made him a bit faint.
The train stopped at the station and the crowd pushed toward Heiji and Kazuha. Kazuha could not keep her balance and she felt into Heiji's arms immediately.
"Gomen," said Kazuha, although she tried to move away from Heiji's arms, people just kept pushing at them. All she could do was staying in his arms, and waiting for their destination.
Doki doki Heiji's heart was pounding so quickly that it almost jumped out of his chest. Heiji had noticed that Kazuha's body was pressing against him; he suddenly remembered Asaba's words about Kazuha. He could feel the slight curvature of her body, he had some weird feelings, "eh…Kazuha."
"Oh, Heiji," said Kazuha suddenly, "we're there already. Let's go before the door is closed." They both left the train quickly.
"I think that obaasan will love our present for her so much," Kazuha was staying at the Hattori's house, revising the lessons with Heiji now.
"Oh well of course she will love it," said Heiji with half-mooned eyes, "you've spent hours choosing the present after all." Heiji was still remembering what had happened recently on the subway, and he did not notice that he was staring at Kazuha.
Kazuha was working hard to solve one difficult mathematic problem; she was about to give up and asked Heiji for help. "Eh, Heiji, have you finish this question?"
Heiji did not answer, his mind was wondering elsewhere. He was thinking about his relationship with Kazuha, she might be not just his childhood friend after all.
"Heiji, Heiji," Kazuha shook his arm to bring his mind back, "are you listening?" She then noticed Heiji was staring at her face, no not at her face, but lower, "huh, pervert!" And she threw the textbook directly on Heiji's face.
Heiji did not know how to react, but just sat there wondering what had just happened. Kazuha left the room, and Heiji found out a letter on the floor. It had just fallen out of Kazuha's textbook.
To Toyama KazuhaFrom Sakuraba Yuki (2-A)
"Huh, a letter for Kazuha," said Heiji, and he examined the letter carefully, "Sakuraba Yuki? I have heard this name before, who is he?"
Kazuha had finished dinner at the Hattori's, and Heiji was walking back home with her now. Kazuha did not talk to him at all during dinner. The atmosphere between them was weird after the "textbook incident", Heiji decided to break the silence between them.
"Kazuha," said Heiji, "I don't know the reason why you're mad, but I just hope that you would talk to me again. You know, it's a bit too quiet without your voice buzzing around my ears."
"Huh? Buzzing around your ears?" Kazuha immediately held Heiji's ear in her hand, and shouted loud at his ear. "YOU THINK THAT I LIKE TO BUZZ AROUND YOUR EARS! YOU'RE THE ONE THAT MAKE ME MAD FIRST!"
Heiji put his hands on his ears, trying to comfort it a bit, "so why're you mad at me?" Heiji was not angry at Kazuha's action; actually this was all under his plan. He had known her for almost ten years, and he did enjoy teasing her. He just enjoyed watching her angry face. Kazuha was not that angry after seeing Heiji grinned at her.
"Eh? You don't know it," said Kazuha, blushed slightly. "Oh, maybe I'm just a bit too sensitive. You know that sometimes the boys at school are really stupid!"
"Huh?" Heiji still confused but he decided to go to another topic instead. He took out the letter from his pocket, "Kazuha, you've left this in my room." He showed the letter to Kazuha, and she immediately grabbed the letter from his hand. "So, who is this Sakuraba Yuki?"
"Huh? I don't know him," said Kazuha, "I just found this letter in my locker this morning."
Heiji noticed her face flushed slightly under her pale skin, "you have nothing to do with him, why does he give you a letter? Can't he talk to you directly?"
"No, he just said in the letter that he wants to meet me tomorrow after school," said Kazuha, feeling a bit surprise for Heiji's worries about the letter.
"What does he thinking? You don't need to meet him on purpose just to talk to him!"
"I don't know," said Kazuha, blushed slightly, "Reiko-chan told me that he might want to confess to me."
"Confess? Confess what?"
"Aho! Confess love of course!" It was Heiji's turn to blush, but hopefully Kazuha did not notice it (difficult to spot it under his dark skin). "Eh…what will you do if he does confess?"
"I'm still thinking, since this's the first time a guy want to confess to me. Heiji, what do you think?" Kazuha was eagerly looking forward to Heiji's idea.
"Of course reject him! You're still too young to date with any guys! Excluding me of course," said Heiji. "Besides, you now nothing about him."
"Um, you're quite right," agreed Kazuha, "I don't want to date with someone that I don't even know. Actually, I've decided to reject him already. I just want to see what you think about it." They were already outside Toyama's house, "thanks a lot, Heiji! See you tomorrow! Good night!"
"Good night!"
After seeing Kazuha was back at home safely, Heiji started to walk back home. He felt relieved to hear that Kazuha would reject the confession. He was puzzled that why he did not like other guys dating Kazuha. He was good at mysteries and puzzles since he was a kid, but now he could not even solve a little mystery of his heart.
