Heiji ran home to his house like a madman. Or rather, to Kazuha's house.
His mother's words kept repeating in his head.
Kazuha disappears ...
Her house ...
Toyama family house ... is burning down now ...
Heiji can't even remember whether he has closed the locker door or not. He also left without asking permission from his teacher.
But he doesn't care either.
The only one that fills his head is Kazuha's gone.
And now her house is on fire.
Gone and burning ...
Gone and burning ...
Gone and burning ...
He almost got hit by three cars for crossing the street carelessly.
"Hey, you fool! Use your eyes!".
"You want to die?!".
"You crazy!".
And all curse words from the car drivers, were not heard by Heiji.
His mind and brain just repeated her name.
Kazuha, Kazuha, Kazuha ...
He will not forgive himself if anything happens to her ...
Heiji swallowed hard.
If Kazuha died ...
Hissed with anger at everything, especially to himself, who had left Kazuha alone when she was in mourning, and of course, unable to think clearly, Heiji speeded up his run.
When Heiji got to Kazuha's already flaming house, he could not get closer. Besides being banned by the firefighters and officers there, the crowds and also the unbearable burning heat, unconsciously made him staggered backward.
"Kazuha! NO! Let me through! Let me in!" said Heiji breathlessly, having managed to break through the crowd there.
"Back off, Kid! Where do you thing you are going?" asked an officer who was blocking Heiji's path.
"Kazuha! Kazuha is still inside! I have to help her! Let me in!".
The officer stared in horror "Somebody is in the house?".
He then turned and looked at the red house burning, engulfed by the sea of fire.
The officer then turned back to Heiji with a sad face "Sorry, Kid! If there really is someone in the house, we can not save her!".
Suddenly Heiji was fueled by anger. He gripped the collar of that officer, who was actually much older than him.
This fucking officer! How dare he stop him to save Kazuha!
He even said they couldn't save her!
"Listen you, punk!".
"Heiji!".
Hearing his name was called, Heiji immediately dropped the officer.
"Mom!" Heiji ran toward his mother, who was also approaching him, already forgotten the officer who just got him angry.
"Kazuha ... Do you already know where Kazuha is? Please don't tell me if ..." Heiji swallowed, unable to continue his words.
Shizuka shook her head while sobbing "I'm sorry, Heiji! I can't guard her!".
Heiji gritted his teeth. His mother was not wrong. He is!
He's her fiancé, but he left her!
Heiji hugged his crying mother. Unconsciously tears also began to flow in his own eyes.
'I'm sorry, Kazuha!'.
Heizo Hattori sat in his office massaging his dizzy head. Things didn't work out as he's expected. This morning, he hopes he will get good news about the man who swallowed the poison pills, although Heizo has also been preparing for the opposite result.
But, it's better to keep thinking positive, isn't it!
Unfortunately, the fact chooses to give the opposite result.
Heizo groaned irritably.
Usually, at times like this, when his mind is not functioning, Heizo will discuss with Toyama.
Heizo took a deep breath.
Ginshiro Toyama ...
He covered his face with his palms.
Ginshiro Toyama and his wife died because of him. Replaced him and his family.
And now, they are after their daughter.
It was then that The Osaka Prefectural Police Superintendent, Heizo Hattori, afraid of a seventeen-year-old girl.
After all, he and his family, owed their lives to both of her parents.
And also to her ...
Heizo knows that Kazuha, Ginshiro's daughter, is still being targeted by the organization.
Kill all of the family without mercy. To give a deterrent effect to anyone who dares to bother them.
That's their principle.
Heizo clenched his fist tightly.
No!
He, Heizo Hattori, will not let them touch his family, nor Ginshiro's daughter!
He will protect them all, with all cost!
The knock on the door distracted Heizo's mind.
"Come in!" he replied in a calm, controlled voice, though now his mind was chaotic.
"Uncle Hattori, please allow me to ask your time for a while!".
Heizo looked at his guest for a moment.
"Yes, of course, Kazuha-chan!".
"So you asked me to help you change your identity? Kazuha-chan, what do you want to do? Do you want to take revenge?".
Kazuha just smiled a little "You say as if I'm a bad person! But, to be honest, I don't know what I'm going to do next!".
"You don't have to do anything! It's our job! Let us, the cops, to handle it!".
"Uncle! I will not lie to you! I want to know who they are and why they ki-killed my pa-pa-rents!" Kazuha stammered to finish her sentence.
Heizo studied the young girl in front of him. This girl is the same age as his son. He has also regarded her as his own daughter, especially now.
There's no way he would let this girl deal with the dangerous organization.
"Kazuha-chan" Heizo said softly "They're dangerous! And I won't lie to you either, they will kill you!".
Well, Heizo doesn't lie about this. She's been their target. And now she's aggravating her own position by intending to be their hunter?
However, Heizo's narrow eyes slightly open as he sees an angry flash in Kazuha's eyes, instead of fear. And also determination.
"I will not die, before I deal with them!".
Heizo didn't answer, because precisely at that time his phone rang.
From his wife.
"Excuse me! Yes, Shizuka?" Heizo got up and walked across the room to receive the call. After hearing a few sentences from his wife, Heizo's face became confused. Spontaneously he turned again towards Kazuha.
"Uh, Shizuka, I'll call you back. I'm having a guest now!".
"Wha ... Wait! Heizo! Heizo!" Heizo can still hear his wife calling for him, but he pressed the button to turn off the call.
Heizo looked at Ginshiro's daughter, who's now smiling at him. His hunch told him, there's something different from this girl.
Something's changes her.
"So Uncle, will you help me or not?".
"Are you sure about this?".
Instead of answering, Kazuha pulls out her cell phone and shows him the message she received this morning to him.
"Either they'll kill me in my own home, or maybe they'll wipe me out along with my house ..."
Heizo grimaced. Exactly just like her guess!
"They're dangerous, Kazuha-chan! And they can ... No! They will kill you!" Heizo repeats his words, trying to make Kazuha change her mind.
"That's why I asked you to change my identity, Uncle!".
Heizo sighed. Stubborn! Just like her father!
"Oh, and Uncle?" Heizo looked closely at her face.
"Please don't let anyone know about this! Especially Heiji!".
For a long time Heizo and Kazuha looked at each other, before he finally reached out to Kazuha.
"It's a deal!" Kazuha smiled and shook Heizo's hand.
But, what Kazuha doesn't know, Heizo Hattori has other plans in his intelligent head.
Of course, the plan is involved his son!
