MagicConan14 here. They say you can't choose your family, but you can choose your friends. I thought, "What if you could choose yourself?" That's what led to this fanfic.
To explain what's going on at the start of the fanfic, the dead bodies go into the underworld for a year before being reborn. That's why it says seventeen to eighteen years later instead of sixteen to seventeen years later.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters in this fanfic...except maybe the spirit...
The spirit was floating around, being selective as to what to look at. Lying in transparent coffins were the recently dead bodies, and right below the spirit right now was the body of Shinichi, among others. The spirit mused for a few seconds, and then slid itself into the frozen body.
17-18 years later…
Shinichi, as Conan, was really fed up with his body.
Yes, that sounded usual for a teen detective shrunk by APTX, but he didn't know whether what happened that morning had been a side effect of APTX. He knew it was something else acting on him – or his body.
His body had been acting of its own accord, doing things that maybe Kaito did during the day…lots of teasing and giggling behind people's backs, and even finding a mop and hitting Haibara on the backside with it. An angry Haibara was never good.
At Ekoda, Kaito heard about these little mishaps. Tantei-kun never acts like that…or does he? he thought to himself.
Lots more people started to wonder what had happened to Conan as the days wore on.
A few days later, Conan had caught a cold. Coincidentally, Kogoro had left a bottle of Baigar/Paikaru on his desk. Of course, Conan – with his strange new persona – just had to disobey Ran (she had told him not to drink the Baigar/Paikaru a few hours ago) and consume it in a few long gulps.
His body felt like it was burning up. Rainbow flashes flickered in his sight as the transformation occurred. But when it finally stopped, Shinichi had regained full control of his body.
Who was that person that took over his body while he was Conan? He just had to find out.
The spirit had lost most of its strength during the transformation, but it could still snicker weakly. 'At least I had fun with you, my dear tantei-san,' it whispered to Shinichi's body. Somehow, his ears caught those wisps of sound, and suddenly he knew something supernatural was there…in his body…
It was a creepy thought, but it seemed like the only correct explanation.
