Well, well, well...a fanfic.
It's not as detailed as I wanted, but it's still long. I hope you'll still like it. ^^" It's weird, I know. ._.'
And sorry for spelling mistakes & some mistakes in English. ^^""
A Trip in Osaka
(Part1)
Ai just stood there and looked at those two. Ran was giggling, but Conan looked sad.
-What's wrong Conan-kun?- asked Ran, when she suddenly looked at his face and realized that something wasn't right.
-Nothing...- he answered a bit embarrassed.
-I know that something is wrong. It's written all over your face. You can tell me, maybe I can help you.
-N-no...it's really not a big thing...
Ran accepted it with a little, yet sad smile.
-Okay, I won't push you. -she stood up and went to the kitchen. -What do you want to eat for dinner? Is curry okay?
-Yeah, i-it's great. -answered Conan and looked at Ai. -Ra-Ran-neechan... can I go to the professor's place?
-Now? But I just started...
-I'll be back, I just... take home Haibara-san. -answered Conan hesitantly.
-Then it's okay. But please hurry up, don't be late! -said Ran, as always in a very gentle and nice way.
-Okaaa~y! Bye!
And off they were, Conan and Ai. They walked without looking at each-other. They didn't even talk. The cool breeze wafted Ai's hair as they went across the street. It was late sunset. The clouds were coloured red by the sun, but the darkness also appeared in the streets.
-Quite suitable. -said suddenly Ai.
-What?! The wind? - asked Conan, who was sunk into his thoughts and was annoyed by this question.
-I meant the darkness. It feels familiar. -her voice didn't show any feelings as usual.
-Leave me alone. -his voice was still kinda calm, yet one could feel, that inside he was angry.
-Oh my, someone is really touchy today. Although I can understand your feelings. You left her without telling that you might not come back. Neither as Conan, nor as Shinichi Kudo.
-I said stop bugging me, will you?
-I just hope we will survive... not as if living would make any difference, but still...
Her eyes met with his and this made Ai stay quiet until they arrived at Agasa's place.
-Ah, Shinichi-kun, Ai-kun, you finaly came! I've prepared everything for you, so it should be okay.- welcomed Agasa the two.
-Did you buy the red one?-asked Ai calmly.
-Yes, I've brought this red dress as you told me. And this black coat too. But wouldn't it be too... well... um flashy?
-It doesn't matter Professor. It's not as I'm gonna wear something like this more than just once.
-You were the one who wanted this, so don't complain now!- said Conan angrily.
-I'm only realistic, that's all. -answered Ai, while looking at the clothes.
-You are an idiot.
-Don't flatter to me, Kudo-kun.
-Idiot. -muttered Conan.
-The process is the same as before. This is almost the same APTX-antidote I gave you before. If you are lucky enough, you might not just survive, but can hold your form for 2 days. Or maybe more. Or less.
-This is very promising. -commented Conan.
-Are you sure you want to take it Shinichi?-asked anxiously Agasa.
-I told you before, I have to. Now that that Eisuke-bastard is not able to move, because he fell off the stairs and he told them that we are still alive somewhere in Beika city, we have no choise, but to follow their orders.
-Bu-but they'll kill you! Why are you...?
-Professor...it's better to show ourselves at that meeting place in our true forms, then being captured in our present forms. In the latter case not only we, but everyone will be eliminated by the organization. If we go there as Shiho Miyano and Shinichi Kudo, there is a high chance that we will be captured, more probably killed, but we can also escape and then they won't find out that we were shrunk by that drug.
-Unfortunately, we can't contact the police, or the FBI... -continued Ai -...we are on our own this time. If there is a chance to save you and the others, I'll not hesitate a minute to sacrifice my life.
-Heee~ I never heard you speaking of these kind of things.- said Conan -Are you getting more emotional?
-Count it as one of my last words to the Professor. -it was a cold reply from Ai, yet her face surprisingly showed some feelings.
-Hey, hey... it's not that you going to die Ai-kun. I'm sure Shinichi-kun has a good plan...
-Yes, I try my best Professor. But we don't have much time. Call Ran, that my parents took me somewhere and tell her that she shouldn't worry about me. And we should begin our business Haibara...
-If you are ready, let's do it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next day Ran met Kazuha in Osaka, and they were shopping around. They carried a few bags full of clothes & vegetables for dinner.
-It was almost like Heiji was disappointed that that kid didn't come. I mean, he is only a kid! -complained Kazuha.
-Yes, but you know that they used to hang out a lot together. -said Ran to calm down Kazuha.
-But he was really looking forward to it. Now he is all grumpy and he didn't even come with us. Ah, it's just not fair. Leaving us alone!
-Oh, so you don't think I'm a good companion, do you?
-Ah it's not like that Ran-chan! -Kazuha tried to catch up with Ran who walked faster as Kazuha slowed down for a second. -I'm just... I mean, I just...
-I understand, you want to be with him, right?- turned around Ran.
Kazuha blushed & replied immediately:
-No, no, that's not the case. I just don't want him to get into dangerous cases and I can watch over him more easier, if he is with me, you know.
Kazuha's thoughts: (I don't feel safe when he is not around. It makes me uncomfortable, because we are together almost always.)
-By the way Ran-chan, any news from your boyfriend?
-What?! -now it was Ran's turn to blush. She tried to keep a cal voice, with less success. -He-he is not my boyfriend. He didn't call me for a while now. -the last sentence sounded really sad, Kazuha looked at her & she understood how her friend felt.
-But, it's not that I need a report from him every day. He is just a mystery-freak whose brain is full of detective novels, I'm quite relieved that he is not bugging me with his Sherlock Holmes stories.
Ran's thoughts: (But it's really odd that he didn't even gave me a reply. I hope he is alright. If only I could hear his voice... not from the phone, but for real again...)
-I already checked it's Suribachi block, 14th stock. Why do you think I got it wrong? (male voice)
-I just want to make sure where we are heading. After all, it was hidden in a code, maybe you got too excited and read it wrong. (female voice)
-Just leave it to me. I know exact...
He bumps into Ran at the corner. All her stuffs falls onto the street. The boy in glasses and black hat immediately helps her and tells that:
-I'm sorry, here your...
Ran's and his eyes met. They were astonished, but before Ran could open her mouth, he suddenly stood up and said:
-Sorry again. Miyano, come.
The girl followed him immediately. Her face was a bit frightened and also surprised, yet to Ran she seemed to be rather expressionless.
-Wait!- yelled Ran. -Shinichi wait!!!- Ran rushed after them, but she lost the pair in the crowd. She didn't know where to go after them.
-Ran-chan, was that... -asked the surprised Kazuha.
But she remained silent.
Ran's thoughts: (With another girl... in Osaka... was he always here? Maybe Hattori-kun covered for him? He was here with Her...? Miyano... but why...he was so cold and...)
-Ran-chan! Ran-chan! Hey! -Kazuha tried to pull back Ran from her thoughts. -Won't we follow them?
-What? -she was really surprised by this question. -Why should I? And e-e-even if I could I...
-I've heard where they are heading to! And I know you want to know more about them! Let's go and... -Kazuha suddenly stopped, when she saw tears flowing down on Ran's face. -Ran-chan...
-I-I... why should I go? I should have known that we have been separated for such a long time and he will have somebody else... why did I believe in im when he said I should wait for him and he'll come back...
-He told you to wait?
-He told Conan to tell me last time in the restaurant, that: "I'll come back. Even if I die. So I want you to wait for me." -her tears just flew and flew. Kazuha walked with her to a quiet place, because the crowd looked really curious, when her friend started to cry. -He said that... he is so mean. If I don't mean anything to him, ten why... why... -she wiped her tears off with her hands. -I knew I'm too naive and stupid, but I really wanted to believe that he is telling the truth, because... I wanted him to come back so badly...
-I'm sure he didn't lie.- said Kazuha.
-How would you...
-These to are not going out, I'm sure of it! They maybe friends or something, but I can tell by just looking at them, that love has nothing to do with their relationship.
-What are you talking about? How can you tell it just by looking at the for a few seconds?
-They weren't close to each other at all. He didn't hold her hand, she was more than half a meter away from him and they looked really stressful. I'm a love-expert, I can see if someone is dating. -and Kazuha winked.
-But...
-There are not 'buts' here, but 'whys'. Why is he with a girl if she is not his girlfriend? Where are they going to? You are the daughter of a famous detective, come on!
-You mean, it's about...?
-Yes, of course! Didn't you just said it earlier? His mind is full of mysteries! He is a detective after all! He is involved in a case! And it's gotta be some pretty important and difficult one if he looked that strained. I just know it, Heiji is the same.
Ran was silent.
-Maybe I just don't trust him... I'm awful...
-No, no, no! That's not the point! You don't know what he is up to, you only got distracted by that girl, that's all. And now let's go!
-Where?
-Where, where, to where they are heading to! You heard them too, right?
-Well, yes I did, but I'm not sure whether we should...
-Of course we should! We must! You must keep your eye on him, maybe he gets in trouble and you can help him.
-No, I would only cause trouble...
-Silly! Don't you understand? You know where your boyfriend is, this is a great chance to see what he is doing!
-But...
-Ran! You love him, right? You have the right to confirm his feelings! Maybe you won't get a chance to meet him after this case and then how would you ask him about you? You want to live in doubts? You want to wait without knowing what is the situation?
Ran looked at Kazuha. She finally made a decision.
-You're right! We are going after them! After all, he...he is my childhood-friend.
----------
20 minutes later police-cars were making noise in Suribachi block. According to some witnesses, there were a few shots in the 14th stock. Ran and Kazuha just got there.
-What happened Otaki-han?-asked Kazuha.
-Ah, Kazuha-chan! You were nearby too? Someone got shot here, but when we arrived, we found no one.
-And who was shot?-asked Ran anxiously. -Was that person taken to hospital? Or is...
-When I said no one, I didn't only meant the culprit. We just began to investigate the scene, you can see here the blood, but the victim got away too. It's possible, that it was a showdown between some criminal gang-members.
But Ran got distracted by something in the shadow of a big box.
-Ooops!- Kazuha dropped her bags. -Sorry, I'll pick it up.
-Please go away Kazuha-chan, don't disturb our work.
-Sorry, sorry! -Ran helped Kazuha.
-We'll go then. Good luck Otakai-han! -waved goodbye Kazuha and Ran and off were they.
---------------
At the Police Department of Osaka another case was investigated and a few witnesses and suspects were held there.
-Why does Hattori not pick up that damn phone?!- asked himself Shinichi.
-You can't still reach him? We must get out of here! If the police finds your cell phone, they will make us stay longer. We cannot afford that.
-I know, I know, but... I couldn't pick it up, because they were shooting at us. We had to escape.
-We are still not safe. We should be in the Professor's car going away from here as far as we can.
-It's no use. -gives back the cell phone to Ai. -I have to solve this case and...
-You just stay here! We'll get in trouble if you act like a detective! -got Shiho angry.
-But if I don't, we'll stay here forever! I've got to do something!
-You were such a great actor before the meeting, can't you just control yourself? -said Shiho mockingly.
-Don't you even dare to remind me of that! -Shinichi's face became very-very red. -I want to forget that!
-Oh, really? I'll treasure it for the rest of my life. -she put a serious face on.
Shinichi's eyes became bigger, he couldn't find any words and when he finally wanted to talk, she added in a tinkling voice: Ju~st kidding!
It seemed like Shiho was amused by Shinichi's torture. She put a satisfied expression on her face and sat calmly. He also made up his mind and did exactly the same, without the smile of course.
Shinichi's thought: (She is right. I must keep up the appearance. But... that was too much!!!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Before the meeting:
Shinichi: There might be a few of them looking around here on the streets. We act like as we were a couple on a date or whatever. They shouldn't pay attention to us, nor see our faces, got it?
Shiho: You tell me this, like I was some kind of a fool. I'm aware of the situation like you are.
Shinichi: I know, I just wanted to make things sure.
Shiho: Oh no! Two of them are heading this way! What should we...?
Shinichi suddenly grabbed Shiho's upper body and and clinched her, there lips were only a few cms away from each other. He quietly whispered: Don't worry, it's only acting. Stay still.
The two members of the organization appeared and looked at them doubtful. Shiho folded her hands around his neck and kissed him. Shinichi was really surprised, but at that moment, he had no choice, but to follow the act, or there will be done for sure. The man and woman in black looked at each other, then they left. The 'pair' could hear only the woman's voice: Heh, lovers hiding at the corner. How romantic. Hahaha...
When her mocking laugh finally disappeared, the two 'lovers' immediately let each other go.
Shinichi (whispering, well he tries at least): What the hell were you DOING! I never said we should kiss for real!
Shiho's face was still red, yet her voice was quite soft: They wouldn't believe if we just stood there like tat for minutes! Besides you started the whole thing!
-You say it's my fault?!
-It was the best thing at that moment!
Flashback ends
----------------
Kazuha: Now what? They can be anywhere. Maybe you were right Ran-chan.
-Can't we just ask Hattori-kun to help us find them? Although I'm almost positive that he is helping Shinichi, maybe we could still...
-That's right! I'll beat up the answer from him, if he doesn't spill it! -yelled Kazuha. She dialed Heiji's number on her cell phone, but just like Shinichi earlier, she couldn't reach him either. -Now where could he be?! That Heiji! If I find him, I...
-Don't worry about that Kazuha-chan... It's okay.
-No, it's not! Hey! -Kazuha suddenly realized something. -Let's go Ran-chan! -and she grabbed her wrist and pulled Ran along.
-Bu-but where?
-Where Heiji is! There is only one place where he could be!
------------
Chief Inspector of the Police Department of Osaka's office:
-I've heard everything. You should realize the time you are defeated. -said Hattori-san, but the room remained quiet. -So you won't say anything. Then I have to find that other one. He will surely tell me more. Now go to Tatewaki-san and get those papers for me.
The person leaves the room, Toyama-san appears.
-Did he say anything? -he asked.
-This time he is more stubborn than usual. I bet, he is into something big.
-You rarely involve in his cases, I'm really interested, what made you so worried.
-I'm not worried. Just curious. Anyway, have you found out something?
-Oh, yes, you wouldn't believe who got in our hand this time.
Hattori-san glared at him with one eye open (as usual).
It's not as detailed as I wanted, but it's still long. I hope you'll still like it. ^^" It's weird, I know. ._.'

A Trip in Osaka

-Okay, I won't push you. -she stood up and went to the kitchen. -What do you want to eat for dinner? Is curry okay?
-Yeah, i-it's great. -answered Conan and looked at Ai. -Ra-Ran-neechan... can I go to the professor's place?
-Now? But I just started...
-I'll be back, I just... take home Haibara-san. -answered Conan hesitantly.
-Then it's okay. But please hurry up, don't be late! -said Ran, as always in a very gentle and nice way.

Shinichi's thought: (She is right. I must keep up the appearance. But... that was too much!!!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Before the meeting:
Shinichi: There might be a few of them looking around here on the streets. We act like as we were a couple on a date or whatever. They shouldn't pay attention to us, nor see our faces, got it?
Shiho: You tell me this, like I was some kind of a fool. I'm aware of the situation like you are.
Shinichi: I know, I just wanted to make things sure.
Shiho: Oh no! Two of them are heading this way! What should we...?
Shinichi suddenly grabbed Shiho's upper body and and clinched her, there lips were only a few cms away from each other. He quietly whispered: Don't worry, it's only acting. Stay still.
The two members of the organization appeared and looked at them doubtful. Shiho folded her hands around his neck and kissed him. Shinichi was really surprised, but at that moment, he had no choice, but to follow the act, or there will be done for sure. The man and woman in black looked at each other, then they left. The 'pair' could hear only the woman's voice: Heh, lovers hiding at the corner. How romantic. Hahaha...
When her mocking laugh finally disappeared, the two 'lovers' immediately let each other go.
Shinichi (whispering, well he tries at least): What the hell were you DOING! I never said we should kiss for real!
Shiho's face was still red, yet her voice was quite soft: They wouldn't believe if we just stood there like tat for minutes! Besides you started the whole thing!
-You say it's my fault?!
-It was the best thing at that moment!
Flashback ends

Kazuha: Now what? They can be anywhere. Maybe you were right Ran-chan.
-Can't we just ask Hattori-kun to help us find them? Although I'm almost positive that he is helping Shinichi, maybe we could still...
-That's right! I'll beat up the answer from him, if he doesn't spill it! -yelled Kazuha. She dialed Heiji's number on her cell phone, but just like Shinichi earlier, she couldn't reach him either. -Now where could he be?! That Heiji! If I find him, I...
-Don't worry about that Kazuha-chan... It's okay.
-No, it's not! Hey! -Kazuha suddenly realized something. -Let's go Ran-chan! -and she grabbed her wrist and pulled Ran along.
-Bu-but where?
-Where Heiji is! There is only one place where he could be!

Chief Inspector of the Police Department of Osaka's office:
-I've heard everything. You should realize the time you are defeated. -said Hattori-san, but the room remained quiet. -So you won't say anything. Then I have to find that other one. He will surely tell me more. Now go to Tatewaki-san and get those papers for me.
The person leaves the room, Toyama-san appears.
-Did he say anything? -he asked.
-This time he is more stubborn than usual. I bet, he is into something big.
-You rarely involve in his cases, I'm really interested, what made you so worried.
-I'm not worried. Just curious. Anyway, have you found out something?
-Oh, yes, you wouldn't believe who got in our hand this time.
Hattori-san glared at him with one eye open (as usual).
