Hi I'm back.

Warnings-blood, mild gore, violence, language, and vampireism.

None this chapter but Kazuha might be slightly OOC.

I DO NOT OWN DETECTIVE CONAN.

Kazuha was smiling as Heiji opened the door, but soon frowned with disappointment at the state Heiji was in. "Ahou, you're not even ready yet," she yelled.

"Ahou, I am too ready," Heiji retorted.

"No you're not. You're hair's still wet."

"I...," his voice died off as he turned away and scratched the back of his head. "forgot to dry it is all," he finished in a mumble.

Kazuha sighed and walked past Heiji, who moved to the side, and walked into the house. She toed off her own shoes then turned around to face him again. "Well go finish getting ready already, ahou," she said as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Ahou," Heiji mumbled as he walked past Kazuha and back up the stairs to the bathroom to clean up his mess. He picked up his clothes and everything else he had used and deposited them into the hamper then walked into his room to grab a jacket. He was concentrating so much on finding something comfortable that he didn't noticed when Kazuha entered with something in her hands. When he accidentally dropped his jacket and kneeled down to pick it up, Kazuha took the opportunity to cover his head with the towel she grabbed from the linen closet. She then proceeded to dry off her friend's head vigorously as Heiji squawked indignantly.

"Kazuha, get off," Heiji said as he tried to grab her wrists. Kazuha only responded by rubbing harder. "Get off me," he had stopped trying to grab his friend's wrists and was trying to squirm free.

"Hold still," Kazuha said trying to finish. "Almost done... There!" she exclaimed with a flourish as she finished.

Heiji stood up shakily as he turned around to glare at her, jacket in hand. Kazuha just grinned as if nothing was wrong. "What was that for?" he growled out.

"It's too humid," she replied calmly. She looked at what her friend had before going over to him and exchanging the jacket for the towel. "Your hair would never have dried if you left it wet," she stated as she hung the jacket back up and began looking for a different one. Heiji just stood back as his friend rummaged through his clothes. She pulled out a jacket and handed it to him. "Here, put this on."

"I can dress myself you know," he said as he glared at her as he held the jacket tightly.

"I know, but this one's better," she stated, "Besides, because of all the humidity it's too hot for long sleeves."

"Well, where are we going anyway?"

"That's for me to know and ya to find out."

Heiji sighed, "Fine, let's go." He looked at the towel in his hands. "After I go put this away." He then went to put the towel in the hamper. As he came back, he put the jacket on and realized that it was one of his lighter jackets. He stopped next to Kazuha who was standing in his door as he straightened the jacket.

"I don't even see why ya need a jacket," Kazuha said as she swatted his hands away to do the job herself.

Heiji let his hands fall to his sides, "Ahou, ya don't have ta act like my Okan."

"Sometimes I feel like your Okan," Kazuha said as she finished with the jacket. "Come on, ahou," and with that Heiji went into his room to comb his hair and retrieve his hat that had fallen out of his grasp as Kazuha went to the front door to slip on her shoes and wait.

When Heiji came back down, hat on backwards, and slipped into his own shoes, they left. As Heiji made his way to his bike Kazuha pulled on his arm to stop him. "Let's take the bus instead," she gave as an excuse.

Heiji groaned. "You're dragging me shoppin'," he exclaimed, seeing as it was the only reason they'd take the bus.

"Ya said you'd do anythin' I wanted today, ahou."

"But shoppin'," Heiji whined.

"Yes shoppin'." Heiji slumped his shoulders and dropped his head in defeat. "Besides we can talk," Kazuha went on. Heiji groaned resigning himself to his fate.

He was starting to feel the same burning, itching, and stinging sensation he felt earlier, returning. Any skin that was touched by the sun was feeling the sensation, again. He straightened up and noticed that just like that morning the sun was too bright, brighter than what it probably should have been at that time of the day. Heiji turned his hat around so the bill was forward to shield his eyes from the sun.

Kazuha glanced at Heiji and bit her lip in a nervous gesture. Heiji looked over at her and asked, "What's the matter Kazuha?"

Kazuha jolted away from Heiji as if shocked. "It's nothin'," she said as she stopped walking and turned to Heiji to talk. "It's just...," she trailed off as she looked up at Heiji's hat.

Heiji, who had also stopped and turned to look at Kazuha, looked at where Kazuha was looking. "My hat?" he asked. Kazuha just nodded. "It's too bright out is all," Heiji said as he turned and started walking again.

Kazuha blinked a few times before running after her friend. When she caught up with Heiji, she asked, "So you're not thinkin' of anythin'?"

"No not really. Why do ya ask?"

"N-no reason," she stuttered. She didn't need Heiji knowing that she watched him as he solved murders. "Ya know that week long vacation we have next week?" she said to change the subject.

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Well I was talkin' with Ran-chan about it, and she invited us to Tokyo for that whole week."

"Really?"

"Yeah, do ya want ta go?"

Heiji thought about it. Going would mean he could talk to Kudo and maybe talk about what had happened in the alley. Maybe together they could make some sense out of what had happened, because he was having trouble wrapping his head around what had happened not to mention that very little of the situation actually made sense. "Sure, why not, it'll be fun," he answered.

They walked and made small talk all the way to the bus stop then more small talk while they waited for the bus. Topics ranged from school, to kendo, to akido, to what to do in Tokyo, and other things. And of course Heiji complained about being dragged around shopping.

Thanks to any reviewers, alerters, favoriters, and readers. I still didn't get where I wanted to but oh well. Next chapter they go shopping.
