I hardly write Conan fanfictions anymore, but on this particular day I was in the right mood. The following story will be more suited teens aged 13 years or over as it may contain certain levels of violence in later chapters. Please leave a comment, I would very, very much appreciate you for it. 
A Night to Remember
Chapter one: Babysitter
Ran closed her eyes. She stepped forward, hands clenched into a fist and ears ringing. Breathe in, breathe out. Her right arm bent, swinging lightly around her body in a slow motion. Breathe in. Her fists tensed, eyes now opened.
¡°KYA!¡±
Like lighting, her opponent had already lunched the first kick. Ran blocked ¨Cknee down, taking it on her arm. The dull ringing in her ears gave away to the crowd. People gasping, cheering, ¡°Come on Ran! Kick her back!¡± Sonoko hollered somewhere behind the ring.
¡°HYA!¡±
The opponent threw another kick, this time catching her on the upper thigh. It hurt. Ran flinched, she tried to punch back but at the same time, the opponent attempted to trip her. She's fast, Ran thought -still recovering. Her opponent would not stop; she began throwing attacks from the side again. Ran knew she had to think fast or the competition was gone. Then out of nowhere, a fist came flying straight at her. Without thinking, Ran caught it in her palm, forced the arm down then used her free leg to swipe the opponent right off her feet. And all around them, the crowd exploded with cheers.
¡°That was absolutely amazing Ran!¡± Ran looked up from her towel. She was sitting on the competitor's bench, perspiration apparent all over her forehead. Sonoko was running towards her, a big grin prized on her face. Ran smiled back weakly at her thrilled friend. ¡°It wasn¡¯t that amazing. Infact it was really tough, I barely made it.¡± she replied. Sonoko brushed her off. ¡°Don't fake modesty, you really won the crowd out there. All those hot spunks we saw outside are probably lining up to get your autograph. Hey, you'd better introduce me!¡± Ran laughed, she hadn't really felt it till now, but all of a sudden her heart was much lighter. The annual competition was finally over, finally. ¡°We ought to celebrate.¡± Sonoko was saying ¡°How about some down town shopping today when classes finished?¡±
¡°That would be ¨Coh I can't. . .¡± her smile faded a little.
¡°What? Why? Can't you're old man make his own dinner for once?¡±
Ran was rather reluctant to answer, she really did want to go, but ¡°My dad's gonna be out on a case tonight. He prefers to go alone, who'll watch Conan?¡±
Sonoko groaned, ¡°That kid again? Aw man.¡±
¡°Well, we could always take him with us. . .¡± Ran added hopefully. She knew that her friend and the little boy currently being fostered in her house were starting to develop a history. Sonoko never liked it when Conan tagged along; she always felt he got in the way of things. Ran found it rather nice to have Conan around though, he was never any trouble and for a six year old, he certainly didn't get in the way of things as much as he could have.
¡°Can't you, you know ¨Cleave him for one night?¡± Sonoko interrupted her thoughts.
¡°I can't do that!¡± Ran protested, ¡°He's only 6, what if something happens?¡±
¡°Hey, Ran. I don¡¯t live with this kid or anything, but if there's one thing I know. He's one who can take care of himself.¡±
Ran signed, Sonoko was right ¨CConan was highly independent for his age, still. . .
¡°I have to make sure.¡± She decided, maybe I can get someone to watch him.¡±
¡°Oh yeah? Who?¡±
¡°Well,¡± Ran thought for a moment. The person who was usually available for the job, Professor Agasa, was currently in Yokohama meeting up with old friends. Conan's real parents were out the question, and she didn't even know where they lived. The young boy doesn't seem to have any other relative she knows of, so who else? Then something came.
¡°Wait, I know!¡± Ran exclaimed quite suddenly it almost caused Sonoko to drop her mobile. Her friend stared at her, as if expecting some miraculous idea that'll save them their night's out.
¡°I'll get my mother to watch him!¡±
. . .
¡°Mmmf *cough*¡± Conan gasped, the short-pea soup they were serving for lunch had gone down the wrong pipe.
¡°Great way to demonstrate table manners.¡± Ai muttered indifferently, sipping down her own spoonful.
¡°Are you alright Conan-kun?¡± Ayumi asked, full of concern. She leaned over the table and offered a tissue.
¡°Yeah, fine.¡± Conan wiped his cheek, ¡°Don't know what got into me.¡±
