File 2: East meets West

Ding-dong! Shinichi and Ran were standing in front of the new apartment of their Osaka's friends. "What took them so long to open the door," complained Shinichi.

"Maybe they're busy right now," said Ran, "or maybe they're really occupied at the moment."

"Or maybe they're too busy making out now," said Shinichi, and Ran's face was flushing right away. He just loved to see her blushed; she looked really beautiful when she was blushing.

"The relationship between Kazuha-chan and Hattori-kun isn't that far yet," said Ran, and she then saw that Shinichi was about to press the doorbell again. "Stop, don't press it again! It's rude. Maybe we're interrupting them at this moment."

Shinichi then gently removed Ran's hand on his arm, and pressed her against the wall. "Do you notice that you've just said something that's in contradiction? Maybe we could have some moment of our own now." He was approaching Ran, and their lips were about to touch each other when the door they had been waiting for, finally opened.

"Please don't do anything embarrassing in front of other's home," said Heiji, "don't let my neighbours misunderstand us."

"Hi, Hattori," said Shinichi, "hope that we didn't disturb you two. You looked tired, didn't sleep well last night." He also noticed a rather clear red hand-shaped on his face. He was about to ask about it, but was interrupted by the warm welcome between Kazuha and Ran. He just could not help himself from being jealous, not even a female could touch his girl. When did he become so possessive, wondering Shinichi?

"Hattori-kun, what'd happened to your face?" asked Ran, pointing at the clear red mark on his dark face.

Shinichi thought that he could almost see nerves popping out from Heiji's forehead. "I was hit by a crazy woman on my face," said Heiji, "it's just a little problem."

"Crazy woman? How dare you say that?" Kazuha's immediate response surprised Ran. "You….you…pervert!"

"What did he do to you, Kazuha-chan?" Ran was comforting Kazuha, and she was quite curious what had happened to her Osaka friends. "Don't know if Shinichi did guess it right."

"What did Kudo-kun said?"

"He said that you two are making out," whispered Ran into Kazuha's ear. Both girls were blushing deep on their face.

"Of course not," said Kazuha. She then continued telling Ran what had happened to them last night.

Last Night

Kazuha was watching the clock on the wall, it read eleven thirty, and it was time to sleep now. She had been watching television since finishing dinner, and Heiji was sitting right beside her. They were both sitting in the only sofa in the living room --- the so-call loveseat was so small that they were forced to sit close to each other. Although this was not the first time they were sitting together, they had never sitting that close. The fact that they were alone just made her heart beating so fast that she was afraid that it would jump out of her chest. She then looked at Heiji at the corner of her eyes, he looked so clam. 'Why am I the only one to be so nervous?' Kazuha said to herself.

"Kazuha! Kazuha," Heiji was yelling loudly in her ears.

"Aho, I'm not deaf!"

"Aho? I've been calling several times already," said Heiji, "and you just ignore me!"

"So what do you want now?"

"It's time to sleep," said Heiji, "or you want to stay here overnight?"

"Of course not," said Kazuha, and she then went to the only bedroom in their new home. She was about to lay down on the new bed, but she then found that Heiji was right beside her also. He even shocked her more as he was already sleeping on the only bed in the room.

"Heiji, what're you doing here?"

"Aho, can't you see? Of course I'm sleeping!" Heiji then moved in a more comfortable position, "I'm tired now, so stop talking and sleep now."

"But where do I sleep if you sleep here?" Kazuha looked around the room, "this is the only bed here."

"Oh well, I don't mind you sleeping here," said Heiji, pointing at the bed.

"Aho! I don't want to sleep with you," Kazuha was blushing deeply.

"Or you may choose to sleep on the sofa," said Heiji, "or even on the floor!"

"Sleeping on the floor? Can't you be a gentleman? Like 'you sleep the bed, I'll go sleeping on the floor.' And that sofa outside are just too small to sleep!"

"I'm so tired today about packing and unpacking stuffs," said Heiji, "and this bed was bought by kaasan, so I've the right to sleep on it first. I already said that I don't mind you sleeping here also. Aren't this gentleman enough?"

"But this is my bed also! I don't want to sleep on the floor!" Kazuha than climbed into the bed, and tried pushing Heiji away. Of course, Heiji would not obey her order, and he just slept on the bed. He even tried to put one of his legs on top of hers.

"Aho! Take off your legs! They're heavy!" Kazuha then tried to draw an imaginary line in the middle of the bed, "don't you ever tried to cross this line!" She knew that she must not lose this fight with him, or else her life here in Tokyo would be horrible --- she did not to be his follower, and listen to his every order anymore.

"What'd happened if I cross it?" said Heiji, while trying to cross the line. Kazuha immediately slapped his hand slightly, "if you dare to cross it at night, I would use my aikido skills on you!"

"Wow! That's scary!" Heiji then turned his back to her, "you don't need to worry! You're not attractive enough for me to attack you in the middle of the night. So good night!" He did not notice her upset face after what he had said to her.

"And then, you can see what'd happened," said Heiji to Shinichi, "that's an accident and she slapped me hard on my face."

"But you did cross the line," explained Kazuha, "and you're holding me also!"

"Aho! Are you still sleeping? Did you open your eyes? You're the one that had crossed the line! You never know that how bad is your sleeping pose since you're a kid!"

"Oh, a kid," said Shinichi, looking at Heiji with half-mooned eyes. Heiji then noticed that he had said something stupid.

"Hey, Kudo," said Heiji, "what're you doing here today?"

"Oh, just pay a visit to my friend, and to see if you two had adapted life in Tokyo," said Shinichi in a cheerful voice.

"We've just come here," said Heiji, "and I don't think there're much difference here and Osaka. Ah, but I need your help right now!" Heiji suddenly remembered one thing, "Please bring us to the nearest furniture store."

"You can't wait to decorate your new love nest already," said Shinichi.

"Aho! We need another bed, so that we don't need to sleep together tonight," explained Heiji, "and I don't want my face got slapped again!"

"Right! I don't want to be hugged by him again!"

"Oh, Hattori-kun hugged you?" Ran asked curiously.

"Hey, why're you two coming here today?" Heiji was trying to change their conversation.

"Ah, forget to tell you two! Ran will start to live alone by herself, at the building right cross here," said Shinichi, pointing to a building right across the window outside their living room. "You see, we can spy on you two with binoculars. So don't do anything bad, Hattori!"

"Aho! Don't do anything stupid at nee-chan's home," said Heiji, "or I'll call her father to come here."

"Don't call otoosan, finally okaasan agree to live with him again!"

"Aren't we going to the furniture shop? Let's go now," said Kazuha.
