Chapter 1
"Oh man, Kazu .." Heiji groaned as he and Kazuha had to run to school again to avoid being late. "What then, I can't help it if that stupid alarm clock doesn't ring" "yeah yeah, hurry up now" Heiji took her hand and quickly ran with her to school. And yet they couldn't make it on time, so they were allowed to stand in front of the door for the entire hour and were given detention. "great, today of all days" he moaned "why? What is it today?" Heiji looked at her puzzled "sagma..that is not serious now, is it?" "What is not serious?" "So you actually forgot ?!" she looked at him questioningly "So you've actually forgotten what day it is today?" kazuha suddenly grinned "what do you think of me, as if I could forget that, just wanted to know if you had thought of it" he looked at her with slanting eyes from the side "what do you mean by that?" .. "she said with a grin."aja ..." then there was silence for the time being, each of them pending their thoughts. Because today they met for the first time 10 years ago. Kazuha smiled slightly when she remembered it.
+++++ 10 years ago +++++ (flashback)
It had been at the police station where both of her fathers worked. The six-year-old Kazuha came to pick her father up from work, which she always did because afterwards her father still went to the nearby playground with her. And since they didn't live far from the presidium, she was allowed to go alone. As always, she went straight to her father's office, where he told her, however, that he would have to stay a little longer today. So the little girl sat down in the waiting room of the police station and waited. The then seven year old Heiji had come to bring something to his father because he had to work long hours of overtime that day. When he wanted to leave, he noticed kazuha through the glass panes in the waiting room.He stuck his head through the door and looked at her "hello" "h .. hello" she replied shyly. Heiji came in all the way and asked "What's your name?" "My name is kazuha, and you?" "Heiji, my papa is the boss of everything here" said the little proud (or bragging) "I also work here "I actually wanted to pick up my dad and then go to the playground, like every day," she said, slightly sad. "then why are you sitting here?" Heiji looked at her inquiringly. "because my papa still has to work" heiji nodded, then smiled. Then I'll wait with you so that you're not so alone, "he said, smiling all over his face. So after a while the two sat there and fooled around a bit. When Kazuha's father was finally finished he came into the waiting room to go home with his daughter. "I'm sorry that you had to wait so long, my darling, ah .. I see you have company, hello Heiji" he smiled at both of them."Are you still waiting here for your papa?" Heiji shook his head, "no, I just brought him something from my mom" "would you like to come with us then?" kazuha asked him .. "he may or dad?" "of course" the two were happy and ran forward hand in hand.

Since that day the two had been inseparable, and actually always together. And today that day was exactly 10 years ago. Kazuha and Heiji wanted to do something together to celebrate the day a bit. After they were still standing in the hallway in silence, Heiji interrupted the quiet "What are we going to do afterwards?" he looked at her inquiringly "" Any idea? "" We have to sit down after all, "she sighed .." What a shame, I was so looking forward to today "
heiji grinned "then we'll just leave" she gave him a skeptical look and asked "how do you want to explain that?" ."Well, if that works?" kazuha was still skeptical. "It'll work," said Heiji confidently. She nodded, "good, okay .. and what do we do now?" Normally she would not have agreed to this, but since she had been looking forward to this day for two weeks. "hm .. we could .." he looked out the window, "into the swimming pool? What do you think of that, it's so hot today .." Kazuha agreed, and at that moment the doorbell rang for the next hour and the two of them could go back in. The rest of the school day passed without any special incidents, and so Heiji and Kazuha were on their way home a few hours later. They had decided to go to the swimming pool first and then to the cinema later that evening, since the weekend was just around the corner.
They agreed to meet at the swimming pool in half an hour, so they went home to get their things. A little later they were queuing at the pool counter "Seems like we're not the only ones who wanted to go to the pool in this weather ... hm ?!""Yes, it seems so" The two went in and looked for a changing room, they even found one that was right next to each other. Heiji had just finished changing clothes when kazua's head appeared over the wall of his cabin "na feritg?" "WHUAA" he was frightened "don't scare me, besides, what are you doing up there, can you tell me when someone sees you there's trouble .. "" hm .. what kind of theater are you doing? You had already moved, "she grinned as she locked her things in the compartment. "Well, listen, and what if it hadn’t been like that .." At first she didn’t say anything, but grinned cheekily at him "..then it would have been like that". "wait a minute" and kazuha landed in the water, meanwhile they had already reached the edge of one of the pools. Heiji jumped after him, and was immediately there when Kazuha reappeared to submerge her again. Of course he was careful not to hurt her. And then he had disappeared further back into the middle and Kazuha followed him.So the two fooled around in the water for a long time. Until they decided to eat something. So they got their towels, spread them out on the lawn and then went to the snack bar that belonged to the swimming pool. They both bought a serving of fries and returned to their towels. When they had finished they lay down to sunbathe a little. Until Kazuha suddenly asked: "Say heiji ..?" "..Hm?" "Have you ever been in love? .. I mean, right?" he opened his eyes and turned to her, how do you come up with it now? "" don't know, just answer "she said. Heiji nodded" yes, I was "" is it you immoment? "" yes .. "" and in whom? "asked Kazuha curiously. Heiji grinned" You would like to know that ?! "" och menno .. "she pouted. But he just grinned even more," then you just unpack, who is it? "" How do you come to the conclusion that I'm in love right now? "" We have known each other for 10 years now, to the exact day, if you ask such a question, that's how it is! "he said with conviction.Kazuha sighed ... "You looked through me .." "I know, so who is it? Do I know the guy?" Kazuha grinned again "If not you then who?" "Huh?" "Forget it !!" she just said "let's go back into the water, okay?" Heiji nodded. He had a slightly thoughtful look: // if not me who then !? What did she mean by that ??? // He said to Kazu that he would go to the toilet for a moment and come straight away. When he came back, however, Kazuha was standing at the edge of the pool and talking to a guy that she looked like she knew well. He didn't look too bad at all, and so Heiji had a slightly jealous look when he came to the two of them. "ah heiji .. there you are, look when I just met, that's Keichiro, I met him at my cousin's birthday party last weekend where you couldn't go with me .." she introduced him first "and that is Heiji, I already told you about him "she said to keichiro. He shook Heiji her hand and then said "well then I won't bother you any longer, I have to go anyway .. Bye kazu-chan" he gave her a kiss on the cheek, nodded at Heiji again and then left.He didn't have very good thoughts about keichiro: // KAZU-CHAN ??? Well wait ..// Kazuha smiled, then looked at Heiji, who still had this look "Is what is wrong?" she asked him. "No, everything is okay ... come on, let's go over it, right?" Kazuha looked in the direction he was pointing and nodded "yes, please" so the two of them went to the whirlpools (>.
