"Aa-aahhh ... Finally! We arrived at school safely! I thought you would not gonna make it!". Kazuha was really great, she struggled with perseverance and wasn't desperate in pedaling her bike, though Heiji had thought she might pass out while doing it. Even more surprising, they're not even late when they arrive at school!
Heiji turned to her and smiled sweetly at her, trying to mesmerize her with his style that had never failed before, the prince charming style.
Poor him. Apparently, it still didn't work, because Kazuha was busy parking her bicycle then wiping the sweat on her forehead and her eyebrows with the back of her hand just like that. She didn't even pretend to be pretty pretentious in front of him, Prince Heiji Hattori, the lady-killer.
Pouting slightly because Kazuha didn't even look at him, Heiji tried to bring out his another charm. "Has anyone ever told you that you are actually quite strong even though you are petite?".
A compliment for girls, his other powerful weapon that has never failed before!
'You're so smart, Heiji!' Now he's praising himself instead.
Still panting a little, Kazuha once again wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand before glancing annoyingly at Heiji. "Yes! You! You're the one who just said that!" She answered fiercely. "Don't ever ask for a ride to me again! You really are heavy! Geez, my legs are sore!".
"Don't worry, Princess! After school, it's my turn to give you a ride!". He gave her a wink, which actually could make any girls melt, unless her.
Instead, Kazuha looked at Heiji while narrowing her eyes.
Whaaatt? So that means, he will go home with her too? Oh please, give her a break! Does he not get tired meeting her all the time and see her face continuously, every hour, every minute, every second, because she is!
Also, after school, she wanted to wandering around to, eh, investigate something. One of the maids she had seen this morning, her stranger yet arguably familiar face, bothered her. She felt she had seen her somewhere, just unfortunately she forgot where ...
So, it's clear that she doesn't have time to play with this free, jobless prince!
"No, I can't!" Unconsciously, Kazuha voiced her answer. She only realized it when she saw Heiji glancing cynically and irritable at her, upon hearing her rejection.
"And why is that?".
"Eh? Umm ... I can't because ..." Now, wait a minute! Why is he now interrogating her? She is not obliged to answer everything to him! He's not her owner or something like that! Haish, he sure is annoying!
"Well, I just can't go home with you. No reason!" And Kazuha accelerated her footsteps, leaving Heiji behind.
"Huh? O-oi, Kazuha!" Heiji wasn't surprised when Kazuha ignored him and kept walking.
Didn't want to embarrass himself, as if he had just been dumped because there were some students in the hallway who were now watching them, Heiji chose to stay quiet and followed Kazuha, while gritting his teeth.
What the heck is she? What a rude princess!
Thank God Heiji has long legs, so he can quickly and easily overtake Kazuha.
"Oi, Kazuha! Can't you always not leave me behind? I'm not your puppy that always follow you wherever you go, wherever you like!".
Spontaneously, Kazuha turned around in surprise. Seriously, she really really was very surprised to hear Heiji consider himself as a puppy. Her puppy!
"But Heiji, aren't you ... human?".
Ya, of course Kazuha will not discuss Heiji's claim upon himself as ... well, uh ... hers? The morning breeze apparently made him catch a cold, he could not think clearly. That's why she told him to take the limo instead.
As for Heiji, he immediately got a hunch, he had just said something embarrassing.
Eh? Wait wait wait, wait a minute! What did he just say?
Oh man! What did he just said? Somebody, please tell him!
'You just claimed yourself as her puppy!'.
Whuaatt? I said WHAT?
'Geez, don't overreact!'.
And why don't you stop me from saying that, you moron, idiot brain! You just humiliated us!
'Stop you? Hiiisshh! Did you forget, you have a mouth that can move on its own accord, so it's not my fault! Don't blame me!'.
Ugh! Heiji was really upset, but he knew what his brain's saying was right!
'Yo, don't think too much about it! Besides, actually I don't think it's wrong. These days, you always follow her wherever she goes. You also don't like it when she leaves you, do you? So, congratulations, you really are her puppy! Pfffttt ... Puppy! Ha! Hahahahahahaha ... Oh man! This is too funny! Hihihihihi ...'.
With a really red face because he was very upset and embarrassed (Kazuha swore she could even see thin smoke coming out of Heiji's temple) because he knew his brain was far more honest than his conscious state, so he couldn't argue anymore, once again Heiji's mouth moves on its own to err ... 'save his pride'.
"Are you blind?! Of course I'm human, ahou! I AM NOT A PUPPY!" which ended up making things worse, since he said it out loud.
If only it had hands, Heiji's brain would have face-palmed its own forehead.
Thankfully he's 'Prince Heiji', so the other students only dared to stare at him while gaping, without saying anything to embarrass him even further.
Not knowing what else to do, Prince Heiji chose to 'run away' from where he now stood. This time, it was he who left Kazuha.
"Ah, Heiji? Wait a minute!".
Well, if you see it with your own eyes, then you will agree with the opinion of his brain. Heiji did stop immediately and even spontaneously turned his head when he heard 'Kazuha's orders'. Isn't that a proof?
"What? What do you want now?" He snapped at Kazuha to cover up his shame and save his remaining pride.
"Can you show me where my class is? Now that I think about it, I just realized, it's my first day at school. Are we in the same class?".
What kind of question is that? They are definitely in the same class. If she's placed in a different class, then he will ...
Suddenly remembered about those embarrasing puppy incident just now, Heiji ferociously turned around and fiercely said "Don't know! You look for your class yourself! I'm not your nanny!".
Behind him, Kazuha was sweat-dropped. Okay, now it was clear that something's wrong with Heiji this morning! First he claimed himself as her puppy and now her nanny. Hmm, maybe it's true that he isn't suited to the cold morning breeze, he became weird.
But hey, wait a minute, isn't that good news? Thus, she had a reason to forbid him to ride her bike every time they left for school!
Meanwhile, Heiji had almost succeeded in leaving Kazuha in a cool style and pretending not to care, if only he hadn't suddenly heard somebody dared enough to say "Aww, poor thing! Did your boyfriend just dump you? It's okay, if you just want to find out where your class is, then let me accompany you, Miss! This is also my first day at this school, so we can look for the class together. No need to ask for help from your arrogant boyfriend!".
Eh, what? Boyfriend? Do she and Heiji really look like a couple?
By the way, who is this boy?
Kazuha looked at the boy who was now standing in front of her and stared back at her with both eyes probing her face, as if trying to remember something.
While Kazuha herself, now stared at him in disbelief. Her eyes bulging, her mouth gaping. This boy ... His face, really looks like Kudo! While his front hair, has a 'one-horned' model, like Heiji's.
Suddenly he exclaimed proudly, startling Kazuha, as if he had just solved a difficult case. "I knew it! You really are her! You know, that famous actress! My, my! You are very beautiful! Much more beautiful than I usually see on television! It is a surprise and honor for me to meet someone as famous and beautiful as you at this new school. Ah! I can already imagine that my school life will be fun!" He was babbling incoherently now.
Anyway, whoever he is, obviously must be stupid enough to put out these words, because he's like pouring gasoline into a blazing fire.
The prince who was a few steps ahead, immediately turned around with a flash in his eyes and as fast as lightning walked over to Kazuha and the unknown boy.
Not only dared to approach Kazuha, the stranger boy also called him an arrogant boyfriend?
Well, Heiji doesn't mind the boyfriend part. But arrogant?
Clearly he's ready to die!
And even more sickening, Heiji saw that the boy was now even trying to take one of Kazuha's hands, regardless of the girl who had actually showed a face that clearly said that she was disgusted and objected! Kazuha really hates brash men who like to tease women and do obscene acts, like to deliberately touch women with disrespectful and lewd intentions.
"Ah, uh, thanks, but no, you don't have to! I can find it myself!" Instead of beating him, she still tried to politely reject him.
"How sweet! Don't be shy! Oh, I see. You're afraid that I'm a bad boy! Don't worry, Sweetie, I'm a good guy!".
Kazuha really was about to beat this insolent guy, her hands were clenched, her teeth has been gritted with each other in highly annoyance, even her eyes now flashed as sharp as a dagger, when Heiji approached them.
"And what's going on here? It's still morning and you guys already have flirted each other? How wonderful!".
Heiji didn't even realize that this boy was similar to his best friend Kudo, or that his front hair was similar to his own hairdo, because at the moment, his focus is to shed his irritation and jealou ...
Ahem! He's not jealous!
He repeated! He is not jealous!
This is all her fault! Even on mornings like this, she's already beautiful and attractive, so she attracted men's attention! Ugh! So annoying!
However, the reaction that Heiji got from Kazuha was instead, "Heiji! This stranger boy is bothering me!" She said with her cute, annoyed face, and now she walked behind Heiji's back, with one of her hands clutching Heiji's cloth on his back, as if asking him for protection.
Yes, at that time Kazuha did rely on Heiji. Nope! Not because she is spoiled, moreover afraid. To be honest, she herself actually wanted to punch this shameless boy. But if she punches the boy on her first day of school, she, a girl, a princess, well, let's just say, she doesn't want to be the center of conversation and attention.
Whereas Heiji, seeing Kazuha seeking for his protection, Heiji's ego and pride, not just as a prince but more especially as a man, immediately flew to the sky. He immediately forgot that he actually intended to be angry with her.
"Alright, you bad boy! Have your parents never taught you to be polite and respectful to the girls? Don't you yourself as a man feel ashamed for treating a woman, let alone a girl, with insolence? Or maybe you just need someone to teach you?" Prince Heiji smirked while cracking his knuckles.
Seeing Heiji's reaction, and unfortunately, the reaction of that disrespectful boy, who wasn't afraid and instead seemed to challenge him, Kazuha hurriedly tugged at the clothes of Heiji that she had been holding, asking for his attention.
"Heiji, come on! It's better we go to class. No need to fight here with him, it's not worth it!" She said in a soft voice, that she was sure only Heiji could hear it. No need to provoke fights and commotion that shouldn't need to happen in the morning, at school.
Also, thank goodness the interruption from Heiji, made Kazuha able to think clearly again, though she'd also thought to punch this annoying boy earlier. He's really shameless!
Maybe because at that time he was feeling like a guardian knight, Heiji looked at Kazuha for a few seconds without saying anything before he finally took her small hand, which somehow felt very fitting in his much bigger palm.
"Don't you dare come near Kazuha again, you hear me?!".
Without waiting for his answer, Heiji pulled Kazuha away from there, a little rude than he intended.
However, both Heiji and Kazuha had once turned their heads to the boy and and they don't like what they see, especially Heiji. Instead of being afraid or intimidated, the boy smirked happily as he watched the royal couple walk away.
Hmph! Don't come near her again? No way! You have to be kidding me!
Because I just found a rare, precious gem ...
My new target!
