Level 6. Charcoal!
"I strongly opposed this idiot charcoal to come with us," said Kazuha. "He can't help us during our journey, and he might be a burden to us!"
"No, Shinichi told me that he's a strong fighter! He would be a great help to us," said Ran.
"But, he…he," said Kazuha, but it was too embarrassed for her to tell what had happened before at the marketplace, with that stupid charcoal. "Okay! The charcoal could come with us, unless he apologizes to me first."
"What? Charcoal! How dare you call me this? I'll apologize to you unless the sun rises from the west!" Heiji said resentfully.
Ran looked at Shinichi's eyes, asking for his help. Shinichi quickly noticed Ran, and turned to Heiji immediately. "Heiji, be a gentleman," whispered Shinichi to Heiji, "quickly apologize to her, or else we would stuck here forever."
"Kazuha, Heiji has something to say to you," said Shinichi while pushing Heiji to the front.
"Sure, Kazuha is always ready," said Ran, dragging Kazuha along.
"So, what do you want to say to me?" asked Kazuha in a cold voice.
Heiji was so pissed off at her words, and he almost wanted to leave at once, if Shinichi had not stopped him. "Be a gentleman," whispered Shinichi. "Let's finished this quick and start our journey!"
"Sorry," said Heiji.
"Huh? My ears aren't that good, I can't hear a word," said Kazuha, "and by the way, who are you talking to? Don't you have the basic manner?"
Heiji was so mad that he already thought that this was a bad idea to join their group, "Miss Kazuha, Sorry! I apologize for all the things I've done that make you unhappy."
"Okay, I accept your apology," said Kazuha.
"That's great! Let's shake hand and forget everything," said Heiji, having his hand out.
"Sure, nice to meet you!" Both Heiji and Kazuha held each other as strongly as they could. 'Let's see how I'll treat you during the journey!' both Heiji and Kazuha thought while still smiling at meeting a 'new friend'.
"Let's start introducing each other once again," said Ran, "I'm Ran, a summoner, and the daughter of the High Priest."
"The daughter of the High Priest," said Heiji, "I've never thought that I'll have a chance to meet, nice to see you."
"This's Hakuba and Kazuha, they're both my guardian," said Ran, "and Shinichi is also my guardian."
"I'm Heiji, and a long time friend of Shinichi," said Heiji, "nice to meet all of you. I've heard that Shinichi had recently become some kind of protector, but I never think that he's one of your guardian."
"You've any problems about this?" said Shinichi.
"Of course not," said Heiji, "so what's our journey about? What can I help you?"
"We're on a journey to find the legendary summon, which can save the world," said Ran. "First, I need to find all the seven magic stones before we can see the legendary summon. The job of a guardian is protecting me during the journey."
"I see, but what's a magic stone," asked Heiji.
"It's like an ordinary stone, but it'll need someone with power similar to the stone to activate it before it can turn into a summon," explained Ran, and she handed her rod to Heiji, "the stone on top is my magic stone, it gives me the power of fire."
"It sounds interesting to me, so the one who can activate the stone would gain the power of it," said Heiji, "maybe I could help you to activate a stone or two."
"Talking is easy," said Kazuha, "Ran had worked pretty hard to activate it!"
"Of course I know that's not easy," said Heiji. "Why do you always picking on me? Or maybe you've love me on first sight!"
Kazuha blushed immediately, "who would love a charcoal? Idiot!"
Shinichi, Ran and Hakuba were worried that they could have a peaceful journey.
To be continued……
I've updated again, Heiji and Kazuha still arguing with each other, and Ran had told more about the summon. Please Read and Review! I'm thinking to write a new fanfic about little Shinichi and Ran (like Kansai Couple as in ED21), or a sequel of Kansai Couple about Heiji and Kazuha. Next Level --- Shinichi and Ran are a new town to find a new magic stone!
