So, I'm making yet another story to pass the time on my two-and-a-half well holiday. This one is inspired by OsnapitzGiGiAri's story, titled 'Whatchu gonna do?' that is completely hilarious and awesome. So, please, if you can, read that one first before mine. It's totally worth it!
Also, this story begins from the day my 'Silhouette' fanfic starts, probably a few hours before. Thus the story goes on for the week that Conan spent in Osaka, where Ran stayed at Kazuha house and Conan at Heiji's.
Conan managed to keep a straight face when Heiji spoke. "'Course, this case is real easy. Unfortunately ya gotta keep that expert eye o' yours. Y'know now that I'm still betta than Kudo, eh?"
The de-aged detective's face burned. Heiji was telling a story of his latest case to Ran and him, and the Osakan bragged all about it until Conan felt as if he wanted to claw his face in fury. The detective was good, yes, but when compared to Shinichi Kudo, they were still neck and neck.
Of course, to the public, Heiji was solving many more cases than Kudo, just because Shinichi had to use Kogoro to complete his deductions. It just wasn't fair that Heiji could talk about all the cases he solved and say that he was better than Kudo. Only Kudo. Rarely did he compare himself to other detectives.
Then again, it was clear that Hattori was bent on teasing Conan, making sure that he took every chance to annoy The Detective Of The East. To Conan, Heiji was as annoying as Haibara and her sarcasm.
Conan hardly heard the rest of Heiji's story. He was thinking of a way to get back at Hattori, and without mercy either. He would let the Osakan run away with people laughing back at him... but how?
"I saw your face in a criminal sketch
Don't be alarmed 'cause you don't know me yet"

Conan had prepared a little prank. He knew that Heiji's worst fear was getting beat up by Kazuha. So he took out his voice changing bow tie, smiling. This would be painful and have a few kicks in the face involved.
Conan sneaked into a room and found Kazuha's bag. After a bit of searching, he found her cell phone. Conan turned it off and quickly dashed into his room, taking his bag and stuffing the phone in it. He hoped that Kazuha wouldn't notice that her phone was missing.
"With friends like these
Well, who needs enemies?"

"Ran-neechan, why don't you and Kazuha-neechan go out shopping? Heiji-niichan and I will be fine." Conan smiled as he said the words. Before that, he had said to Heiji that he would let the two go out shopping so that Heiji could do whatever he wanted without Kazuha in the way, and Heiji had taken the bait, knowing that Conan was the best way to get Kazuha out of his hair.
"Good idea, Conan-kun. Let's go, Kazuha-chan," Ran let out her hand in an inviting manner. Kazuha grinned and followed. Conan hoped that she didn't notice the fact that he had taken her cell phone. It was turned off and safe in his holdings.
Heiji let out a huff. "Thanks, Kudo."
"It's nothing. Now, what's it that you want to do?"
Heiji and Conan went out to eat, Heiji always saying how Tokyo wasn't nearly as good as Osaka. They found a restaurant close to the mall that Ran and Kazuha were at. Because of that, Heiji decided to hold the tickets that would take them to Osaka.
Lucky for Conan, Heiji excused himself and walked pretty far away, saying that he needed to call Kazuha to make sure that the girl wanted him to pick her up soon. Conan dug the phone from his bag and flipped it on, waiting for Heiji's call to come. Then he said in Kazuha's voice, "Hello?" and Heiji asked to be sure of when he'll pick her up.
"No, I don't think you should pick me up too late. I'm over at a different mall, here..." Conan gave Heiji an address that was very far away from the real mall Ran and Kazuha were going to. "And pick me up half an hour later than I told you, too." Then he hung up.
His prank had just begun. He didn't even care that Ran would have to wait along with Kazuha.
He turned off his own phone so that Ran and Kazuha were left with no one to call unless they wanted a taxi, and they wouldn't call one if they knew Heiji was on his way.
"I swim through the theatre
Or maybe I'm just a dreamer"

"Really! Where's she, the ahou?" Heiji muttered irritatingly. He had been pacing up and down, miles – yes, miles – away from Kazuha. Conan had to hide his smile behind his hand.
At last, Conan turned his phone on and waited for a frantic Ran to call. It was only midday, but they would have waited a long, long time. The phone rang a quick five minutes afterwards. "Hello?"
"Conan-kun? Where are you? Tell Heiji to pick us up! Get a taxi and bring the tickets with you! We're going to eat at the station later!" after reassuring Ran, Conan hung up before Heiji and Kazuha could have a turn on both phones.
"Hattori, she wants you to pick her up at the mall that she said she was at first."
"What?! That's miles away! Oh, I'll give her a beating all right!" Heiji threatened to Kazuha, who couldn't even her him. He called a taxi and managed to get one in the hour, but it had taken quite long.
However fast the taxi went, they could only reach the mall in a half-hour. The taxi was spinning its wheels so fast that, sometimes, it kicked up clouds of dust that rose up to three feet high before dissolving in the air. When they got there, Kazuha was practically burning in anger.
"WHERE WERE YOU?! I told you to pick us up with a taxi! If you were planning to bring the tickets with you, don't take so long! And MY PHONE! Where IS my phone?!" Actually, smart little Conan had sneaked the phone into Heiji's bag and turned it on.
A baffled Heiji tried to calm his anger, but Conan knew it wouldn't hold for long. Kazuha grabbed Heiji's bag and began to shuffle through it. Soon she found what she was looking for. "AHA! YOU HID MY PHONE IN HERE AND DELIBERATELY RAN OFF!" The girl took a deep breath and yelled again. "YOU LIAR! I'M GOING TO TIE YOU TO A TREE AND POKE YOU WITH AN OCTOPUS AND DROWN YOU IN A SEA OF METAL-COLD BONES AND HIT YOU IN THE HEAD WITH A HAIRPIN AND CUT YOUR HAIR OFF AND FEED IT TO A GOLDFISH!" Her words attracted passersby and they all stopped to watch then argue. Ran tried futilely to calm both of them down. Conan was laughing inside.
Kazuha stuck a pose that meant that she was going to strike. Heiji managed to jump out of the way, and jerk back when the girl tried to slap him. Man, waiting for an hour must have charged her batteries, thought Conan. He felt a bit of regret for pranking Heiji, but he shook the feeling off. This was hilarious.
"What are you – " Heiji stopped dodging and looked at Conan. Realization swept through him and he opened his mouth to say something, but stopped, knowing that he would out a good number of people in danger if he said anything out of the ordinary.
Kazuha calmed down, but anger still radiated though the place in waves. "Let's go to the station," she said angrily while grabbing Ran's hand and sitting at the far end of the taxi. Heiji had to sit at front while Conan sat on Ran's lap as usual.
At the station, Heiji made sure to sit as far as possible from Kazuha. Conan was next to him. "How COULD you do that?!" demanded Heiji.
"Come on, it was just me balancing out the world. We all hate karma, but hey." Conan relaxed, but Heiji didn't seem calm. The detective of Osaka was staring and thinking, probably finding a way to get back... because as Conan said, everyone hates karma.
So... review guys! I'm banging my head trying to find out how Heiji's gonna get his own way back. If you have any ideas please PM or review me, you will get credit for the prank! And I'm trying to make it funny, I need to make people laugh at this. Help, help me guys! I really need some advice.
