Heiji woke up with a big smile, plastered on his handsome face. His eyes shone with joy.
He is Kazuha's fiancé!
He can't wait to tell her. The Ahou, his childhood friend, whom he loves.
Well, maybe he'll tell her while teasing her a bit.
His smile widened, as he imagined how Kazuha reacted when hearing this news.
'Say goodbye to your wishes to study abroad, Kazuha Darling! You are forever bound to me!'
Satisfied with that thought, grinning handsome, Heiji stands up from his bed.
As he walked out of his room, in front of Kazuha's door, Heiji paused before he finally walked to the door. He already raised his fist, preparing to knock at Kazuha's door. However, then Heiji dropped his hand, cancelling his intention for knocking on the door.
No need to hurry. Besides, now they live together.
There's still plenty of time ...
And Heiji went on his way to the bathroom.
Heiji frowned as he reached the dining room. Only his father and his mother are there. No Kazuha.
"Good morning, Heiji! Why did you just stand up there? Come on here and sit down! Eat your bread!".
"Mom, where's Kazuha?".
Heizo glanced at his son from the newspaper he was reading. He grinned "Why Heiji! You have not even greeted your parents, yet you've already asked about your fiancee? Tsk tsk tsk ... Teenagers today!".
Heiji's face turned red. While Shizuka glances alternately between her husband and son with a puzzled look "What do you mean, Heizo? Fiancée? Who's engaged? Heiji? What are we talking about right now?".
Heizo just grinned. He drained his coffee, before rising to his feet and kissing his wife on the cheek.
"I'll tell you later, Sweetheart. But now, I must hurry to go to work!".
"Take care!" Shizuka answered, that Heizo replied only with a smile.
He paused in front of his son, then ruffled his hair.
"Hey, Dad!" Heiji exclaimed as he straightened his hair back.
"Be good to her!" Heizo need not clarify, who he meant. He was sure Heiji already knew.
After Heizo's leave the room, Heiji repeats his question to his mother.
"Where's Kazuha, Mom? Is she not awake yet?" he asked, chewing his bread.
Shizuka glances sharply at Heiji "Don't talk while eating! It's impolite! Besides, you might choke!".
Shizuka sighed. "I haven't seen Kazuha since this morning, maybe she's not awake yet. I don't think she should go to school today, Heiji. You can go to school alone today. Let Kazuha rest at home first".
Heiji scowled. It's been a long time since he went to school without Kazuha. It must be weird. Especially at a time like this, when Kazuha is in mourning, he wants to accompany her. But Heiji could already imagine his mother's reply. "I'll accompany her, Heiji. Kazuha is my daughter now!".
So, if he doesn't want to hearing his mother speaking at length, he'd better go to school now. His mother was right, after all. Kazuha will be safe in their home. And his mother also accompanied her.
"Alright then. I'm leaving to school, Mom!" Heiji said and finished the milk.
After wearing shoes and about to leave the house, Heiji suddenly turned to his mother.
"Mom, please take care of Kazuha! If anything happens to her, whatever it is, I want you to call me right away! I'll go home as soon as possible!".
Shizuka's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting her son to speak like that.
"You're talking like you're Kazuha's husband, Heiji!" said Shizuka, teasing Heiji while winking at her son.
"Or, is it possible, what your father referred to with your fiancee ... is her? I'm right, aren't I? Kazuha is your fiancee?".
Heiji's face was instantly as red as a boiled crab. He doesn't know how to answer his mother. "Well, that's ... Just keep Kazuha safe! I'm leaving!".
Then half-run, Heiji leaves his home. He even forgot to kiss his mother.
Shizuka chuckled. She doesn't need Heiji's answer, she already knows the answer.
Ah ... young love ...
Wonderful.
Humming quietly, Shizuka walked back into her house.
Kazuha reads a brief message on her mobile for the hundredth time.
After that awful phone call last night, she couldn't sleep. Too frightened and paranoid if there's another incoming calls.
Surprisingly, that night no more calls came to her cell phone.
Finally, Kazuha fell asleep after she was exhausted from crying all night. And by the time she woke up, she couldn't deny that she was curious to see her cell phone.
True, there are no missed calls.
But there is one incoming message.
Kazuha swallowed as she pressed the button to open the message. Somehow, her feelings say, she would not like to read the message.
The message is short.
'Come back to your house this morning. Alone. Or you'll see what will happen to the family that is accommodating you now'.
"Yo, Hattori! Isn't that true now you two live in the same house? You know, you and Toyama!".
Heiji glanced sharply at his classmate "None of your business!" he replied curtly, throwing his books indifferently into his locker.
"Aw, come on, tell me! What's your relationship so far? And don't tell me that she's only your childhood friend, Hattori! Look, you guys are even now living together!".
"Where do you want to be hit by a wooden sword, Yamada? Head? Back? Shoulders? Or ... How about your mouth? Hmm?" Heiji asked in an intimidating tone, pulling a wooden sword from his locker, patting it into his palm.
Luckily for Yamada, at that time Heiji's phone rang.
It's from his mother.
Heiji immediately got a bad feeling.
And Yamada? Already escaped.
"Hello? What is it, Mom? Is everything alright?" There's a note of fear in Heiji's voice.
"Heiji ..." Shizuka's voice was panting, as if she had just run a marathon.
"Please come home soon! Kazuha ... Kazuha disappears!".
"WHAT?!" Heiji didn't care if his scream surprised all the students there.
"Another one ... Another bad news, Heiji. Her house. Toyama family house, is burning down now!".
