II: Kudou and Hattori
There was a loud thump, followed by a sharp yelp, then the sound of frantic lungfuls of air being sucked in and out accompanied by boisterous laughter. The other officers of Division One's Homicide Unit glanced up to watch, but their attention quickly faded.
Once he had recovered from the rather hard but friendly slap in the back, he glared at his assailant. "Hattori," he panted, clutching his chest, "Are you trying to kill me?"
"Lighten up, Kudou," came the easy reply with a heavy Kansai accent through chuckles. "I haven't seen you in a while."
Breathing and heart rate back under control, Kudou Shinichi turned to fully face his longtime friend, swiveling in his chair with a grin. "What are you doing here?"
"Applied for an opening here," Hattori Heiji replied, leaning on Shinichi's desk. "Arrived in Tokyo this morning. I needed to get away from the old man."
"Do you have a place to stay?" Shinichi asked, glancing around for extra baggage.
Heiji grinned. "I have a room for the night and plan on looking for a place this afternoon."
Shinichi huffed and shook his head. "I have plenty of spare rooms, so take your pick until you find a place to call your own." He blinked as a thought occurred to him. "Hattori, you have told Kazuha-san about your moving to Tokyo, right?"
Despite the dark color of his skin, Heiji paled. "Oh, damn it all," he swore. "I knew I forgot something!"
Author's Note: Explanation of why Heiji's moved to Tokyo, despite not having the better okonomiyaki, in his humble opinion. And boy will he get an earful when Kazuha finds out! So now that all four are officially "in play" in Tokyo, I can have my fun! Murders, mysteries, and mayhem ahead! I hope you enjoyed it.
