"Be my girlfriend, he said! Is not it more precisely be my shield or bumper?!" Kazuha grumbled in annoyance while walking faster.
"Heiji, you're a jerk!".
Her phone rang.
Kazuha exhaled loudly. Can't it wait until she's arrived at home? She's really needs to go home right now. Away as soon as possible from her jerk childhood friend.
When her phone stubbornly continued to ring, Kazuha breathed once more before reaching into her bag.
From an unknown number.
"Hello?"
"Is this Miss Toyama?". A deep, masculine voice spoke up.
"Yes. Who is this?"
Tut Tut Tut ...
Phone disconnected from the other line.
Frowning confusedly, Kazuha looked at her phone.
Who was calling her?
Kazuha jerked back in surprise when the phone in her palm rang again.
"Hello?" This time, her voice a bit alerted.
"Miss Kazuha Toyama?".
The caller, whoever he is, emphasized her given name. As if he want to be assured that she is indeed Kazuha Toyama.
Somehow, it make Kazuha creeps. Her instinct urged her to hung up the phone. However, Kazuha still answered him while gulped nervously.
"Who ... who is this?".
"Kazuhaaa!" Heiji shouted her name as he ran to her, like a stormed tornado.
Great! Just great!
Now she didn't even need to answer the caller because this tanned ahou childhood friend of hers just did it for her.
And ... Tut Tut Tut ...
As predicted, the mysterious caller once again disconnected the line.
In one side, she's still mad at Heiji, from their previous conversation. But on the other side, she's relieved that Heiji is come.
When he saw Kazuha just silent while holding his cell phone, Heiji became more anxious.
Does she already know?
But, instead of devastated or sad, Kazuha's face is confused.
"Kazuha?" Heiji called her carefully. "What's wrong? Did ... Did someone call?".
She nodded once. "Yes, but I don't know who is him".
Wait a minute.
Someone called Kazuha. A man. And apparently he is not a cop.
Could it be ... that guy is the culprit?
This is dangerous.
If the man who just called her is the culprit, then Kazuha definitely is targeted.
Plus they already have her number now.
Kazuha, watched as Heiji's face become tensed, feel uneasy.
Something's wrong here.
Once again Kazuha's phone rang, startling both teenagers.
Kazuha froze. She didn't want to answer the phone.
Heiji then snatches the phone from her hand, a bit roughly.
"Yes?!" his tone snapped.
"This is from the police. We want to speak to Miss Toyama!".
"Have you got the Toyama girl's location?".
"Yes boss!". One of the men handed a transmitter device to his boss.
"Too bad she's not at home with her parents so we can finish them all. What a hassle!".
Looking at the device, the said boss smirked.
Not anymore ...
This is not real!
This is not happening!
She was just dreaming. A very bad dream!
Her father is not in a critical condition!
Her mother is still alive!
This is unreal! Unreal! Unreal!
Kazuha repeated those words like mantra. She's shaking along their way to the police station. Or hospital. Or wherever, she didn't even care.
Of course Heiji came with her. He becomes overprotective to her now.
As they arrived at the hospital, Heiji's parents already there, awaits for them. Shizuka hugged her, motherly. While Heizo, cleared his throat, he's tilting his head to Heiji, silently asked him to follow, which Heiji reluctantly obeyed.
"Kazuha, honey. I'm so sorry".
Heiji can still hear his mother calm Kazuha when his father starts talking.
"Heiji, I know the culprit. Actually he's after me!".
Heiji looked at his father in bewilderment. His eyes met his father's stare.
"They are dangerous conspirators. International fugitives. I know that and investigate them secretly. Apparently they are better than I expected". His father's voice was full of regret and sorrow.
"Three days ago I told Toyama and asked him to replace me for a day, because I had to attend my son's kendo match". Heiji's eyes widened in horror as he began to read the situation.
"It was then that they knew they were under investigation and thought Toyama was the police investigator".
Silent for a moment.
"Dad ... Don't tell me that was means ...".
"Yes, Heiji. Toyama and his wife were shot for us! They replaced us!".
