"Kazuha, be my girlfriend!".
Kazuha's eyes widened in disbelief.
Did she hear him right?
Has Heiji just asked her to be his girlfriend?
What's going on here?
Why so sudden?
Seeing Kazuha's expression, which is now gaping like a fish, Heiji knew he will be rejected.
Heiji smiled bitterly. The old Kazuha must have been immediately said yes while screamed hysterically when Heiji asked her to be his girlfriend. Meanwhile, the current Kazuha ...
She's like a stranger to him.
Before that happened, he racked his brain, looking for any reason thus Kazuha will accept him, though he felt a stab of pain in his heart.
"I mean, we're just pretending to be dating".
Now, Kazuha looks at him as if she's seeing a ghost. Meanwhile the tanned boy, gulped nervously when he realized his bad choice of words.
"Well, I need your help. You know Kazuha, the girls can be so crazy. If they know I already have a girl, let alone you, they will stop bothering me". What he means is his fans. By the way, Heiji is not lying. If he's dating Kazuha, his fans will also stop bothering and surrounding him. Two advantages at once.
Kazuha's expression is now a mixture of shock, confusion, hurt, disappointment, and last, anger.
Shocked and confused when suddenly Heiji asked him to be girlfriend.
Hurt and disappointed, because he explained it was just fake.
Angry, because, it turns out the jerk in front of him is just make her as a shield from his fan girls.
Indeed Kazuha's feeling on Heiji has faded, at least until before Heiji asked her to be girlfriend. But not everything is gone.
When Heiji asked her to be his girlfriend, there was something that made Kazuha's heart beat faster. Her feelings for Heiji flooded her all of sudden, as if returning from their long vacation.
He's the boy she likes since she was a kid. And they are always together, even until now. However, his question needs to be answered.
"Sorry, Heiji. But I can't!" she said with flat voice.
"Please, Kazuha ..."
Another shocked on Kazuha's side. Did Heiji just beg her? He never begs, his ego and proud was way to high.
"Look, Kazuha. I just need your help to get rid of those girls. We're not dating for real. We'll stay as friend like before".
Now, Kazuha is officially broken. So, basically Heiji asked her to get rid some annoying fan girls. Not because of he loves her.
Oh, stop dreaming, Kazuha!
Heiji does not love you.
Not now, not ever.
Her face turned stiff and cold. "I'm not having this conversation with you!". She replied in the same cold voice before turned and left Heiji alone.
Heiji was shocked. Too shocked to do anything other than petrify.
He did not expect it to end up like this. Even worse, Kazuha seemed hate him more.
He could see when Kazuha's horse's tail disappeared around the corner when his cell phone rang.
Lazily, Heiji baited out the phone from his pocket.
From his mother.
Actually, he's in no mood to talk to anyone now. But if Heiji didn't pick up the phone from his mother, do not expect he can sleep before listening to his mother's nagging.
Heiji picked up the phone with limp voice. "Yes, Mom?".
"Heiji!" Mrs. Hattori's voice sounded urgent and very serious "Are you with Kazuha-chan now?".
Heiji sighed when he heard Kazuha's name mentioned.
"It was. But now she's already going home".
Heiji's brow furrowed as he realized the serious tone in his mother's voice. "Something's wrong?".
"Are you with her?". His mother's voice increasingly panicked now.
"No. She's going home by herself". Heiji didn't like the sound of his mother's voice.
His detective instinct told him that there must be something going on.
Something serious. It might even be dangerous.
And that concerns Kazuha.
"What is this all about, Mom? What's going on?".
He ran after Kazuha.
Who cares if Kazuha is angry with him right now.
He had to find her!
Her mother's words rang in his ears.
"Heiji, Mr. and Mrs. Toyama were found shot in their home! Mrs. Toyama could not be saved, while Mr. Toyama was in the surgery room now. Critical. Your father got a report that this is not a robbery. Nothings taken. Most likely the motive is personal revenge. Now the police estimate the culprit will looking for their daughter!".
Author's Note : Actually at first I want to make this story a simple romantic drama with a bit of sadness. Probably finished in the second chapter.
But suddenly this idea just popped into my head, so I hope a little longer doesn't matter.
Happy reading! Hope you guys enjoy it (^.^)
