Chapter Seven: Heiji and Kazuha, aren't you excited?

Heiji and Kazuha just rushed back from their trip after Kazuha received a letter from Ran saying that she is engaged to Kaito.

"How can this happen? Why Kaito of all people?" Kazuha had been yelling about this throughout the flight.

"Can't you stop yelling? You are hurting my ears! She must have her own problems too." Heiji answered coolly.

"Fine. She better give me a good explanation." Kazuha finally calmed herself down.

"If only you have not been so impatient and rash," Heiji mumbled.

"WHAT! It is not my fault ok? How would I know that our parents want YOU to accompany me back here?" Kazuha blared at him as they went to the arrival hall. Heiji simply rolled his eyes.

They met up with Ran and Shinichi who received a phone call from Kazuha's parents regarding their trip back here.

Ran pulled Kazuha away from Heiji while Shinichi helped Heiji carried the luggages.

"How's the two of you coping?" Heiji asked Shinichi, then realize the hurt expression on his face.

"I'm sorry ok? I didn't know you all didn't…." Heiji was interrupted by the sudden intruding voices of the girls.

"Hey Kazuha! How's you and Heiji getting along? Any development?" Ran said sneakily.

"What? No way! Anyway he won't like a girl like me…" Kazuha replied, eyes glancing at Heiji who was walking behind them. "He hates me I know," she murmured.

"Huh? What did you just say?" Ran asked.

"Nothing," Kazuha replied as the four of them left the airport and headed towards the hotel Heiji and Kazuha would be staying temporarily.

----At the hotel----

"Two bedrooms for Mr. Hattori and Ms Toyama" Heiji told the receptionist.

"I'm sorry, sir. There's no more single-bedroom anymore. Would you all like to have one double-bedroom instead?" the receptionist answered in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Err…."

"We'll take that," Shinichi quickly said, smiling at the blushing Heiji.

"Hey girls, it seems that there is no more single-bedroom so Heiji and Kazuha will be sharing one room." Shinichi went over to Ran, wrapping one arm around her waist.

It is going to be great!' Kazuha thought sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.

"… I think I will prefer going home to sleep for the night instead," Heiji cleverly added. "So Kazuha you will have the ENTIRE room for yourselves."

Ran and Shinichi shrugged helplessly at the hopeless couple.

The four of them went for a dinner nearby soon later and caught a movie before they separated. Shinichi was bringing Ran home, leaving Kazuha to Heiji.

------Back at the hotel-----

They arrived outside the bedroom. Kazuha was wearing rather skimpily so she had Heiji's jacket over her to keep her from having a cold.

"So I have safely brought you to your room now. Bye," Heiji said coolly.

As he was about to leave, Kazuha grabbed one of his hand to hold him back a while more.

"Your jacket," she took off his jacket and passed to him.

However, a waiter with a trolley suddenly pushed the trolley so fast that Heiji had to push Kazuha against the wall behind her to avoid being crashed by the trolley. "I'm sorry" the waiter said and left rapidly.

"Damn him," Heiji scolded. "Poor hotel room service I should say," still angry at the waiter's recklessness.

Lest that he realized that he was actually pushing Kazuha against the wall. They were so close that her chest was against his. They blushed quickly as Heiji took one step back. "I'm sorry," he apologized, feeling embarrassed.

Instead, Kazuha went forward, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissed him on his lips. She had yearned to do this for a long time.

Heiji was held back by her sudden action. Nevertheless, he returned her kiss passionately, his hands subconsciously wrapped around her waist. They were making out outside the hotel room for a while, till Heiji pulled back.

"I've got to go," and he turned to leave Kazuha. She was in dilemma. What do he mean by he had to go? He did not love me at all? She utterly regretted for her impulsive action. Soon as she realized she was still holding on to his jacket, she ran after him, all the way out of the hotel.

"Wait up, Hattori!" Kazuha called out. She was desperately trying to cross the busy road in the rain, not wanting to lose sight of him. She quickly dashed across the road after standing in the rain for at least ten minutes to cross the busy road.

"Hattori!" Kazuha shouted to him again. This time he heard her.

"Kazuha! Why are you here? Missing me?" Heiji smirked at her. When he saw that she actually was trying to return the jacket, he scolded her.

"Why risking your life in the rain for this jacket? You can return me tomorrow you know?"

"I…. AHHHchooo!" Kazuha let out a sneeze. She had caught a cold.

"You ah…. "He let out a sigh and pulled the jacket over them as they ran across the road to the hotel.

He opened the hotel room door and helped her to the bed. "You go and bathe in hot water now before you really fall sick," Heiji told her with concern.

She nodded as she grabbed her nightgown and stuff from her luggage and went to the toilet. Heiji was wet thoroughly too and so he pulled took off his shirt and hung them dry in the cupboard.

Eventually when Kazuha came out of the bathroom in her nightgown, her face turned deep red as she sees him half-naked. "It's your turn to take a shower now. Don't tell me you want to go home in this kind of weather," Kazuha said casually, trying hard not to look into his eyes.

He heaved a sigh and went into the bathroom. He showered quickly and came out in his shorts only. 'He is going to sleep like this? He will freeze in this room!' Kazuha thought. However, when she saw the scars left on his well-built body, her heart aches. She was fully aware that a conscientious guy like him would not have hurt so much if he had not tried to protect her whenever she is in trouble. She felt guilty as she went over and wrapped her arms around him from the back.

They blushed slightly and stayed like that for a short moment. "Do you like me, Hattori?" Kazuha finally blurted out her words from within her. Heiji was stunned by her straightforwardness. 'Yes…' he thought. Yet, he replied no. Kazuha took one step back, wanting to turn away and cry, after hearing his direct rejection for her love. Surprisingly, Heiji instead wrapped his arms around her, whispering into her ear, "I don't just like you Kazuha. I love you."

Kazuha gasped. She was caught in between shock and excitement. "Heiji…. I love you too…" She replied lovingly, wrapping her arms around his neck once more, drawing him into a loving kiss. Heiji deepened the kiss as his hands were moving up her back, unzipping her nightgown slowly. She felt it yet she could not do anything. She felt that her soul was completely captured by him. Soon, Kazuha broke the kiss and Heiji began teasing as usual.

"Since I am half-naked, don't you think it's only fair if you are too?" he held her closer, kissing her forehead gently.

"Pervert!" Kazuha pushed herself away from him as she woke up from the 'trance' she was in. Lest that she know that Heiji successfully unzipped her nightgown and it fell to the ground as she pushed away from him. Now, she's rather transparent to Heiji. The only left on her was her undergarment. 'Oh my god!' she thought. Her face was so hot and red from the embarrassment as well as the stares and smirks she received from Heiji. He was practically staring at her hourglass figure; flat stomach, smooth skin, and he stop his stares at her chest. "HEIJI HATTORI! You pervert!" She walked out of her nightgown on the floor, stomping towards him. "You can't stop me from looking at you, you know? You are the one who seduced me with your figure," he said innocently. She tried to slap him on his face hard for staring at her but Heiji managed to catch her wrist in time before she could do so. Swiftly, he wrapped his powerful arms around her once more, letting her calm down in his embrace.

She was flustered. 'How can he act so cool?' she screamed in her head. She was pulled into another moment of kisses as Heiji tried to remove her remaining clothing. "Heiji…don't" Kazuha moaned. Even so, he removed her bra eventually and carried her to bed, having intimidating moments with her in bed. Kazuha had not expected this to happen. Yet all she could do was surrender herself to him, and let him take control of her. Only tonight.
