Engineer –who?!?!-: A pleasant day to all the passengers! This is your locomotive engineer, Edogawa Conan. Aika-chan won't be here since she has this "orchestra practice" today yeah right

Aika-chan: I heard that!

Engineer Edogawa: So anyway, let's proceed to Heiji-niichan and Kazuha-neechan's story, "Firefly"!

Italicized – thoughts

Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha have been sitting and drinking coffee in a small café the whole afternoon. It was a cool, windy day so you can't blame them if they are sleepy and not talking to each other.

Heiji sighed as he put his cup on the table, "I'm bored," he said with droopy eyes.

"It's not my fault. You asked me out here," Kazuha said without looking at him. Kazuha was reading her book while Heiji was reading the newspaper.

"Nothing but bad news; murder, murder and murder. All solved by Kudo," he thought with half-moon eyes.

Kazuha closed her book and leaned forward at the newspaper. Suddenly, something caught her attention, "hey, look at this, Heiji," she pointed happily.

Heiji closed the newspaper and read the article at the back.

"Fireflies! Heiji, I want to see one," she said excitedly. Heiji cupped his cheeks and put his elbow on the table, "fireflies, huh?" he thought.

----------------------------

In the park.. (8 pm)

Kazuha stood in the middle of the flowery opening. Fireflies flew and twinkled. She smiled and chuckled as the fireflies made shapes with their lighted-tails. Some of the fireflies landed on Kazuha's finger and then it would fly away. It was the most beautiful thing Kazuha had ever seen.

Heiji, on the other hand, crouched down beside a Cherry Blossom Tree. He seemed to be mingling with something. Kazuha felt unwanted and smiled sadly. When, finally, she became irritated. She walked over and tapped his shoulder.

"What are you busy with, Heiji?"

Heiji turned his head but covered the thing he was busy with, "ah, something really important," he smiled nervously.

Kazuha looked at him with half-moon eyes as she saw him turned away. Her eyes twitched with irritation. She walked away silently.

----------------------

"Ah! Finish!!" he wiped his sweat, "hey, Zuha, check th-" he turned around and saw no one but kids who were running around. He looked at his work, "where could she be?" Suddenly, he smiled, "I think I know," he thought.

He walked towards the lake. There, he spotted a ponytail-haired girl with pink ribbon. He silently walked towards her and he could hear her sob. Her shoulder was shaking and he could see her wiping her tears. His bangs covered his eyes as he stood behind the crying girl whom he had loved so much. Suddenly, she said,

"Why can't he understand MY feelings?"

"I DO understand your feelings"

"He didn't even know I left because he was busy of something,"

"I'm sorry"

"Something important than me?"

"Something important FOR you"

"He doesn't care"

"I DO care"

"He doesn't like me"

"I LIKE you"

"I hate him"

"I love you"

As he stood there, spring wind blew. Kazuha hugged herself as the cooler breeze blew. Suddenly, there were fireworks. As she sat, Kazuha looked up in amazement. As another wind blew, her ribbon untied. Her eyes widened and tried to catch it but a certain person caught it first.

"Yours?" he said.

"Thanks," she hadn't realized who he was. She continued to look at the fireworks. Suddenly, this person wrapped his jacket around her. She looked beside her and there, Heiji lay on the grass, his arms crossed behind his head. They silently watched the fireworks. No words could describe the feeling between them as Kazuha sat there and Heiji lay. As the fireworks ended, Heiji sat up. Kazuha stood up and was about to leave when suddenly Heiji held her arm.

"Let go of me," she said as her bangs covered her eyes. Tears started flowing down her cheeks.

"Listen," he said as he stood up, "I-"

"I don't want to listen," she turned away.

"Kazuha, please."

No! Let go of me!"

Suddenly, Heiji hugged her.

"Listen to me."

"No!" she struggled.

Heiji hugged her tighter.

"I hate you! I hate you so much!!" she kept hitting him on the chest

Heiji hugged her. He didn't speak. He just hugged her.

Kazuha cried, "I hate you," she whispered for the last time. She cried and knelt down. Heiji knelt down as she cried on his shoulder.

"You never understand me," she said as she sobbed. Heiji's bangs covered his eyes, "I'm sorry," he whispered.

Finally, Kazuha fell asleep in his arms. He looked at her lovingly and wiped the tears on her cheeks. He carried her in his arms and walked towards the Cherry Blossom Tree.

------------------

As she woke up, she yawned and looked around, "where am I?" she thought. Suddenly, beside here where fireflies; and whoever made this had done an excellent job of making Kazuha smile. The fireflies formed the words :

I -heart- You

She smiled at it and then looked around again.

"If you're looking for someone aside from me, then I'm extremely jealous," someone said.

As she leaned against the tree, she smiled some more, "thanks, Heiji," she said. On the other side of the tree sat Heiji, reading a book.

He smiled, "hey, I do what I think is right."

"So you were busy with these a while ago?" she asked as she looked at the pretty lights from the fireflies' tails.

"Uh-huh. So you don't have the right to get mad at me," he said without taking his eyes off his book. Kazuha smiled, "sorry." She stood up and leaned against the tree as she looked at the pink petals up the tree.

Heiji stood up too and walked to the other side of the tree where she was. He faced her and his hands, against the tree, supporting his body. He leaned forward and kissed her.

"I love you, my Heiji"
