"Oh, here you are!"

"D- daddy!"


Chapter six

Stuck with me


"D- daddy!What are you doing here? Didnt you want to sleep at your friends?"

"I forgot something I need and had to come back to get it. Dont worry, I am gone in a minute. I heard a strange noise out of your room and was about to come and look." He approached her door dangerously but Kazuha clutched the doorknob tightly in her hands behind her and leaned with all her weight against it. "What happened?"

"Oh, I was t- tidying up my room and I hit my foot against the bed. Hehe, silly me!"

Her father looked strangely at her, then at the door again like as if intending to go and look for himself if everything was alright. Kazuhas heartbeat had increased and she was inwardly begging all gods she knew to not let him go further. To her luck, he seemed to relax and looked back at her.

"Tidying up? At this time?"

"Oh.. well, you know, hehe, it had been… kinda messy. Yeah, I could hardly find my own bed. Hehe.." he laughed nervously and slapped herself inwardly for the stupid excuse she had come up with. Her father looked at her with one raised eyebrow.

"Alright… but be more careful. By the way, wheres the young Hattori? Didnt you mention he would stop by, today?"

"Oh H- Heiji..yes.. he..he left already. Said he was involved with an important case. Haha, you know that mystery idiot!" Kazuha laughed nervously, her fast heartbeat already hurting.

"Yeah, just like his father. So you are alone? We could always come back and sleep her-"

"NO!" Kazuha almost screamed, then realized what she had just done and clapped her hands over her mouth. She needed to calm down. Taking a breath she let it out again.

"I.. I mean no, you dont have to. I am not a little girl anymore and its good to be alone for once. By the way, you guys should really have fun yourself, once in a while."

"Well, if you see it like that… Ill just get my things." And with these words Mister Toyama walked to his room. He came out one minute later.

"Fine pumkin, Ill see you tomorrow then! Have a nice evening." He kissed her on her cheek.

"Thanks daddy, I will!" Kazuha said and winked after her father, blushing slightly as she realized her choice of words. "Byee!" and he drove off. She closed the door behind her father slowly and turned, leaning against it for a second, taking a deep breath.

'That was damn close!' she thought with still shaking knees.

She walked back to her room quickly and locked the door behind her.

'Just to make sure..'

She looked around in the darkness and could see Heiji sit on her bed, facing her window, forcing her to look at his back. Something was strange about his position.

"Heiji?"

He did not answer but only crossed his arms in front of him.

"Arent you talking to me anymore?" she asked with slight amusement.

"Nope!"

She raised an eyebrow in wonder, then grinned and walked closer to him.

"And why is that?" she asked in a low voice.

"You called me a- you- know- what!" he replied with a stubborn and mock hurt voice. She grinned more and kneeled on the bed, moving forward until she was behind him. Embracing him from behind like he had done before and gave him a quick kiss on his cheek before whispering to him some soothing words.

"Of course you are a stupid, mystery idiot. But you are my idiot!"

Heiji smiled and turned around, looking at her with a grin.

"I still think I should punish you for that one!" he said after pinning her down once again. Kazuha grinned up at him.

"Well, if you must…!"

"Oh, I do!" he whispered and bend down to kiss her deeply once again, all playing long forgotten. She hugged his head and replied to his kisses. Eventually he pulled apart and lay back on the bed next to her. One and a half second later he felt her head on his chest and her snuggled up against him so he reached down to hug her.

"That was close!" he remarked.

"It really was. I thought I would get a heart attack!" she replied, both speaking in a low voice.

"Me too! I was ready to jump out of the window any second!"

Kazuha giggled, having imagined for a second Heiji, with one foot hanging out of the window, waiting anxiously and terrified for a sign to jump.

"Heiji?"

"Hm?" he answered but she did not reply right back, hesitating a little.

"What happens now?"

"How do you mean?"

"Is.. is the world still going to work like it used to? Or is chaos going to break loose? What about our parents? What about school? What about everybody? What are we going to do?"

"You are worrying too much about it, sweetheart!" he said, hushing further arguements at the start. "Nothing bad is going to happen!"

"What then?"she asked, still a little afraid and uncertain.

"Me for my part, intent to stay here forever and never let you go again!" he half joked and held her tighter. She looked up at him and his serious face in wonder and he suddenly grinned, ruining the effect. She shook her head.

"Cant you stay serious for a second?"

"Kazuha, what are you afraid of? That everything will change and you wont recognize the world again? Believe me, that wont happen. I said I love you, and I still will tomorrow in bright daylight! Or in school, or in the park, or on the street people can see or in front of our parents. I have waited too long and kept everything hidden for even longer. You can not imagine how relieved I feel. But, its something else if you say you want to wait with telling everybody until I dont know when. I accept your decision of course and will do what you ask me to. Everything, except stop loving you, for this I cant."

He looked down to find her big, teary eyes staring at him. He was starting to worry if he had said something wrong, as he felt her lips crushing down against his own and a happy Kazuha gripping his neck tightly and him in her embrace.

"Oh Heiji, that was soo sweet!" She kissed him. "I dont know what to say!" She kissed him again. "I love you so much!" she kissed him long and passionate. "And I am not afraid of facing the world as long as you are by my side!" she kissed him again and pulled away. "And I think our parents will have nothing against it!" she beamed at him.

"I think so, too. And you know what is also going to happen?"

"What?"

"You will be stuck with me. I will never ever let you go again!" he sat up, placing her on his lap, her body still close to his, with her facing him and her legs around his waist.

"You better dont!" she challanged with a grin and kissed his nose.

"AND!" he started.

"And what?" she asked.

"And I will kill every guy who looks at you the wrong way!" he hugged her once again possessively to him and kissed her neck, feeling it rumble lightly at her chuckle.

"Arent we a little possessive here?"

All he did was pull her closer and kiss her ear lovingly, murmuring a light: "Mine!" with stubborn voice.

"But… neither will I! Let ever go of you, I mean!" she said, stroking his hair that was hanging in front of his eyes.

"Oh really?" he giggled.

"Yup. I only…" she stopped talking and looked around her room, obviously looking for something.

"Only what?"

"Well, only I have unfortunately forgotten my signboard, with the words: 'Heiji Hattori, property of Kazuha Toyama!' on it. Too bad, I wanted to bind that around your neck!"

Kazuha looked fake- disappointed and defeated away. Heiji only laughed loudly.

"You crazy girl!" he had his arms tightly against her back as he moved forward and placed her gently on the bed, once again kneeling above the stunned girl. He looked with a loving expression at her and stroked her cheek with all his affection. "My crazy girl. I love you so much! What would I do without you?" She shrugged, making clear she had absolutely no idea how he would end up without her and he laughed louder. Kazuha grinned and pulled him down, tugging on his neck, and kissed him while murmuring 'I love you' against his lips.

"Heiji?" she whispered, pulling away from his lips.

"What?"

"I hope you are aware of the fact that you are now, much as I am with you, stuck with me! Are you fully aware of the consequences? Is this really what you want?"

"Consequences? Right, I forgot about them… hm… let me think… Having to take care of you, kissing and touching you as much as I can, having you by my side as much as possible, having you care and worry about me, loving you and being loved by you for the rest of our lives… oh wow, what horrible prospects, indeed. I should get away as fast as possible!" he made a move to stand up but she clutched on him tightly, laughing.

"Hey!"

He laughed as well and moved a hand to stroke her face.

"Stupid, of course thats what I want! Thats all I ever wanted! You should have known that!"

"Just wanted to make sure!" she whispered and pulled his head down to catch his lips once again with hers. Her heart was singing a song of joy. Never ever would she have thought this day might come. Never had she thought Heiji could be so sweet and loving and caring and SO adorable! The more her love for him was burning her up from the insides, making her want him with a deep passion that made her whole body shudder.

Heiji pulled away and trailed his kisses down her face and towards her ear. The sensation of his lips on her hot body and his hands that were caressing her arm and back were almost too much for her and as she heard him whisper something in her ear she opened her mouth, letting a silent moan escape.

"Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?" her cheeks colored deeper.

"N- no?"she answered uncertain.

He kissed her earshell and traced its outside gently with his lips.

"Veeeery!"

His caress and voice went right under her skin, making her shiver unvoluntarily.

"So very beautiful." He murmured while trailing his lips down her face and neck, going slowly to her shoulders once more. He had no idea what effect his words had on her.
