Hey !

Time to begin a new story ! : )

Last one was a bit special for me since my favourite character wasn't here so, today, I'm having my revenge : this new story will be pretty much Heiji-centred :D

Exceptionally, I'll be using the first person in the scenes with Heiji (mostly) and a third party PoV, when he's not here, the one I usually employ in my fics (rarely). I'll do as few switches as possible not to confuse you.

Also, I'll kill a character quite early in the fiction (first chapter, to be honest... I should try to stop doing that :p) but I don't think I'll be killing anyone else, at least no one in the major cast so don't worry ^^; Just like "Detective", I'll give you some reasons to laugh after a few depressing chapters :p

I'll be publishing the prelude and the two first chapters today, the end of the first chapter was too depressing to leave it like that ^^; After today, back to the usual, 2 chapters per week, one on Wednesdays, the other on Sundays.

SUMMARY : Heiji's being targeted and one of his relatives pays a high price for it. But when it is time for him to look for that murderer with the help of his best friend, he might realise that case may be wider than anything he had been expecting.

CHARACTERS : Heiji, Conan as main. Else Ran, Kazuha, Hattori family, Kid prob'ly (just one or 2 chaps, don't get too excited xD) etc etc... : )

SPOILERS : Major spoilers to movie 7. Spoilers on the KazuHei and the ShinRan pairings (If London and "ORE NO..." don't ring a bell, it means you'll get spoiled :p). Might be some spoils about the FBI (agents only, not their "families", let's say). If any, it shouldn't be anything after the Clash of Red and Black (the Kir centred case).

PAIRINGS : Canon

RATING : T, as usual, for violence and language (yea, being in Heiji's head might bring more swear words than usual ; ) )

Prelude

Heiji PoV

That day was sunny. Except for a short rain around 3 p.m. That's funny how you remember the tiniest details when you're a detective, just like me.

And that day was so... How could I forget it, seeing how it ended ?

That cloudless night and its gentle moon over Osaka's castle.

That moon almost red as it mirrored in the pool of blood under my father's body.

That father I always thought invincible was gasping, struggling for breath, his eyes in mine, a bloody hand on my face while my hands were uselessly trying to compress a wound that had already bled too much.

His arm fell back on the floor and the light in his eyes disappeared.

Denial was already trying to settle in my mind but, deep inside, I knew I just lost him.

And it was my fault.
