Kazuha was out like a light. She wasn’t moving or thinking about anything. She was just lost in a temporary state of unconsciousness. She was numbed and unable to feel the suit jacket that now covered her. If the girl had woken or had been able to see herself at this particular moment she’d never let herself live it down. Being so vulnerable in front of someone other than Heiji was unusual, no, unnatural.
Kazuha stirred, her body still but her eyes moved rapidly behind her lids.She was beginning to have thoughts. None of which really concerned her current physical situation but indeed acknowledged who the culprit could be. She wasn’t always the most friendly person and she wasn’t going to deny that but she hadn’t understood whom she could have pushed so far off the edge.
Kazuha had been in countless arguments and petty fights with girls at Kaihou Academy. In which, she had taken very seriously considering who it involved but she’d never imagined they’d taken it just as seriously. She shouldn’t have put it past them though…
As the girl opened her heavily lidded eyes and immediately stumbled on the detective she let out a soft sigh. He’s still here… It wasn’t as though she’d hated his company she just didn’t understand the meaning of him sticking around. That is of course until she’d realized exactly what kind of predicament she was in. R-Right…Fresh case-bait.
She sat up slowly feeling worn down and exhausted as she’d let Hakuba’s suit jacket fall to her lap. Her mind quickly running over the names of the girls she’d gotten physical with and totally throwing the possibilities of a male being the culprit aside. After all, Kazuha believed most women to be the devil.
The detective, who had been inspecting the trap previously set, paused when he heard the sound of moving fabric. Hakuba turned back to look at Kazuha, then offered a small smile, stepping over to return to her side.
“Ah, you’re awake again, then? Take it easy; you’ve had quite the scare, but help is on the way. Can I get you some water or anything else, Toyama-san?”
He crouched next to her and reached out a hand to touch her shoulder, to steady her.
