Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot, sigh….
I am wanting a beta!
Chapter one-Of Amusement Parks and Poison!
A teenager casually strolled down a road in Tokyo, dressed in a neat blue teitan high school uniform, his listless, deep blue eyes sliding shut as a quiet sigh escaped his handsome features.
"Shinichi!" A voice hollered to him as a tall, thin girl ran up to her childhood friend wearing a similar uniform to the boy known as Shinichi Kudo.
"Good morning Ran" Shinichi stated with a casual smirk at the girl known as Ran Mouri.
"Looking forward to tonight, Shinichi?" Ran asked with a light blush on her pretty face.
A bewildered look came into Shinichi's eyes, Ran sore this and instantly grew an angry tick on her forehead as she clenched her fists.
"You forgot, didn't you?" The karate champion seethed.
"Tonight…?" Shinichi whispered to himself in wonder, sweat-dropping at Ran's angry glare. "OH! TONIGHT! Tonight, of course I'm looking forward to tonight! Hahahaha…." The high schooler exclaimed dramatically.
Ran's glare increased at his dramatics as did her anger.
The karate champion took a steadying breath before hitting a nearby lamppost causing it to creak pitifully and bend over at a broken angle, people around the pair stared and fled, and Shinichi unconsciously took a protective stance on instinct.
Ran's sickly sweet smiles caused Shinichi to back away and any stragglers to flee in terror.
"You didn't forget our outing to tropical land to celebrate winning my karate championship, did you?" The girl ground out through clenched teeth.
"No, no, no, no of course not, I've been looking forward to it…hahahahaha…" Shinichi improvised under her ire.
"Baka" Ran muttered as they entered teitan high, almost immediately running into Sonoko Suzuki.
"Ran" Sonoko exclaimed, latching onto her arm, "Shinichi" She muttered disapprovingly.
"Sonoko" Shinichi gave a small glare that was returned before sonoko turned to Ran with a mischievous look and a haughty smile.
"So…I heard from a little birdy that the married couple of teitan high are going on a date~" The gossiper sang as a light blush escaped from both Shinichi and Ran's faces.
"Baka" Ran and Shinichi exclaimed at the same time, causing them both to turn to each other and with red cheeks before looking away at the same time, much to sonoko's glee.(lol, Danny Phantom Reference, BTW, try imagining Sonoko as Tucker, I was laughing for ages on the mental picture alone!)
"It's not a d…d…date; it's a…outing…" Ran muttered embarrassed.
"Yeah, what she said" Shinichi said with a cold glare to the crowd that had gathered around them unnoticed.
"Heh~outing~heh" Sonoko snickered.
"Sonoko" Ran pleaded exhaustedly
"Fine, fine, let's get to class, Mrs Kudo" Sonoko teased with a push.
"Sonoko!" Ran exclaimed in horror, blushing whilst Shinichi's just gave a tired sigh and headed off towards class.
"Bitch" He muttered under his breath.
Time skip #later that night# tropical land#
Shinichi was waiting in line to the mystery coaster with Ran at tropical land.
"Congrats again on winning the tournament Ran" Shinichi said with a genuine smile.
"No problem Shinichi, those wimps didn't stand a chance" Ran boasted not looking forwood as she walked into the group in front of them causing a pile up.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, are you okay?" Ran exclaimed to the three as Shinichi helped them up.
"Were fine miss, I'm Kishida, and these are Hitomi, Aiko and Reiko" The man of the group said as he gestured to the three women in the group whilst helping them up.
"I'm Mouri Ran and this is Shinichi Kudo" Ran introduced with a small bow.
"Nice to meet you" Shinichi said also bowing and eyeing the strangers discreetly pausing on Hitomi and her necklace, understanding dawning on him as she sent an unconscious sad, longing look to Kishida and Aiko, who were linking each others hands.
"Think nothing of it, it's fortunate you bumped into us though" exclaimed Reiko.
"Why?" questioned Ran.
"Look at whose in front of us, then you'll know your answer Mouri chan" Aiko said in a hushed voice as Shinichi and ran both looked in front of them and saw the dark pair, pushing a preteen and his parent out of the line as they did and glaring at anyone who looked their way.
Ran shivered at their look whilst Shinichi went still, recognising the look they were giving as professionals and deciding to keep an eye on them as well as the desperate Hitomi.
Deciding to save a life tonight, Shinichi 'stumbled' forward as the line moved and bumped into Hitomi, sending them both to the floor.
The young man allowed his stare to turn cold as he looked at the desperate woman and the venom from his night job to fill his voice as he brushed past her ear.
"Nice Necklace" He whispered harshly as he 'fell'.
Shinichi got up slowly, still glaring at the frozen would be murderer on the ground, catching the interest of the blond-haired man in front of them.
"Oh kami, I'm so sorry, were just bumping into each other today, huh?" Shinichi said lightly, chuckling a bit as he continued to coldly stare the woman down, his voice not matching his expression.
The assassin put on a smile, a carefree look passing through his eyes as he did and offered the still frozen woman a hand.
"H...How...?" Hitomi whispered hoarsely as she stared at the carefree face of her assailant.
Shinichi continued to offer a hand to her and bent down to grasp hers, whispering in her hearing range as he did so.
"Leave it to the professionals" He smiled and pulled her up.
"Shinichi! stop being so clumsy, baka" Ran shouted before tuning to Hitomi with a small polite bow, "I'm sorry for my friend Hitomi san"
"The brat probably just wanted to cop a feel" Kishida whispered to his girlfriend as she glared at him and smiled apologetically at the shocked looking assassin.
"Come on, the rides starting and were holding up the cue" Ran stated urgently as a beady eyed glares filled her back with a malicious aura.
The blond-haired man glanced at Shinichi with a knowing smirk and eyes cold in amusement.
"Come on aniki" The shorter of the pair urged respectively as the partners moved forwood allowing everyone to board the mystery coaster.
The ride was uneventful until they reached the peak of the rollercoaster, the two suspicious men glanced over at an abandoned ride in the corner of the park and Hitomi twiddled with he necklace nervously, stopping as she glanced at Shinichi's excited face and stopping with a tremor.
"Aughhhhhhhhhh" screamed Ran, hugging Shinichi with a death grip as the attraction dipped the car along the rail, causing Shinichi to go red from both a lack of air and a furious blush creeping on his features.
Once the ride was over without incident, Shinichi ran up to Hitomi, Kishida, Aiko and Reiko and patted Hitomi on the back, slipping an unnoticed piece of paper in her bag as he did so and giving her a beaming smile.
"You made the right choice, Hitomi san, try to avoid hell in the future, Kay?" He chirped enthusiastically, running off before anyone could comment, leaving a stunned group of friends behind.
"Weird kid" Aiko mumbled as they walked away, Hitomi giving a shaky nod in agreement, looking ashen.
Shinichi ran back to Ran and got a hit in the arm for his trouble.
"Stop running off Shinichi, it'll get you into trouble someday" Ran shouted, "Such a bad habit for a boy to leave a girl alone on their d...d...outing!"
"Yeah...sorry ran, won't happen again" Shinichi exclaimed, oblivious to Ran's stuttering and blushing as he spotted the short man in sunglasses and a black hat.
"Right..."ran stated, getting herself under control again, "Anyway...Shinichi, did you hear that my dad got a new...Shinichi? Shinichi!" Ran shouted as Shinichi stopped and stared in a seemingly random direction.
"Yeah ran, I gotta check on something, call you later, Kay?" Shinichi said distractedly as he sprinted off in the same random direction.
"Baka, you said you wouldn't run off!" Ran shouted after him, getting a bad feeling about it but ignoring it for heading home, still slightly angry at him but mostly worried.
"Please don't leave me, Shinichi baka" She whispered with a quick hurt, tearful glance at the direction before heading home to look after her most likely drunk father.
Shinichi ran after the short stocky man, following him silently as he approached the abandoned amusement in the back corner of the bustling amusement park.
The man kept glancing around suspiciously as he went top his business, making the skilled assassin roll his eyes at the obvious behaviour.
The man hurried around a corner and squared up to a sweaty, porky man in a pink business suit(LOL), whose eyes were glancing around like a ping-pong match and was clutching a black briefcase like a lifeline.
"You got the money?" The man asked roughly.
"Y...Yeah...um...you got the disks...uh...sir?" The nervous man stuttered, looking at anything other than his assailant.
The dark-haired man in the black fedora smirked in a degrading manner as he opened his own briefcase to reveal several unmarked DVD's.
"It's all here, gun-smuggler san" He smirked as his victim yelped in an unmanly way.
"Not so loud, here's your m...money" The porky man stated. hastily opening is brief to show a large amount of money, handing it hastily to the black clad man in a trade-off before attempting to bolt surprisingly fast for someone of his stature.
Meanwhile, Shinichi spied the transaction with boredom, wondering silently why he left Ran for a simple extortion.
The young assassin turned to leave with a silent sigh when a cold pair of eyes approached him hastily, making him roll away on instinct, startling the bolting business man into a quick glance before continuing his departure, sweating profusely as he went.
"What...ANIKI" Exclaimed the surprised portly man in black , cocking his gun as he spoke.
"We got ourselves a spy, Vodka" The blond-haired 'aniki' spoke venomously, "You were followed."
"B...but Aniki" Vodka stuttered.
"Punishment later, deal with the brat now" The blond murderer demanded, cocking his own gun in the process.
"Excuse me" Said a now standing Shinichi, glowering at the two men with cold, dead eye and a double pistols pointed at the men." Do I get a say in this?"
The two men eyed the teenager with different reactions, the more stout man looking on with wide quivering eyes, whilst the taller of the two looked on with a hint of annoyance and some interest.
"You got some skills brat, but two against one isn't exactly in your favour" 'Aniki' said with a sneer on his impassive face.
"Y...Yeah, we got you outnumbered brat" The stout man smirked in fake confidence.
The smirk fell when Shinichi lowered the gun he had aimed at Vodka and shot him in the heart, making him drop dead on the spot, the noise nearly drowned out by the nearby amusement park, the young assassin then drew the gun to face gins passive, if not slightly tight face.
"You were saying?" Shinichi emotionlessly stated.
Just as 'Aniki' was about to shoot his gun off at his partners murderer, a heavy thud was heard as a Caucasian blond woman with long blond hair, tied into a pony tail and cold, dancing blue eyes posed behind the fallen teen with a metal pipe in her slim fingers.
"Vermouth"'Aniki' ground out with clenched teeth.
"Gin" vermouth smirked, "My, my, you boys made quite the mess, didn't you? I'm sure the BOSS wont be happy about this!"
The clearing was then filled with melodic laughter as vermouth laughed at vodka's still form.
"Shut up, bitch!" Gin barked out.
"Such language" Vermouth joked.
"Let's just kill the brat and leave it to cleanup" Gin growled, aiming his gun at the barely conscious teen with blood gushing steadily out of his head wound.
"Don't!" Vermouth began and explained," He's already probably attracted the police with his earlier shot."
Both looked towards the fallen body of Vodka whilst speaking as blood pooled around his corpse.
"We have a new poison to test after all, why not him? wouldn't want to disappoint her now, would you?" She taunted.
"Sherry" Gin shark grinned
"Sherry" Vermouth agreed with a frown as Gin moved to take the poison out of his pocket and approach the fallen teen.
Gin looked into the cloudy, half mast eyes of the young assassin as blood slowly trickled out of his wound onto semi dried blood.
"This'll be painful brat," Gin sneered,"You may have been able to stop one murder today, but you still fall at the hands of our wonderful organisation."
He dragged the teens hair roughly so his face was up, popped in a mysterious pill and poured water into the slightly parted lips forcing a reflexive gulp from the assassin and walked away, contacting cleanup as he went.
Vermouth walked up the teenager and whispered into his ear as smoke started to pour out of him as his face became flushed and the head wound started bleeding fresh blood.
"Good luck, my little silver bullet kun" She stated before grabbing his arm and dragging him around a few corners with surprising strength, making sure to stay out of the way of the crowds.
"A secret makes a woman, woman" She whispered with a smirk, walking away from the scene before clean up or the police arrived with a red glint in her eye.
Shinichi groaned in his barely conscious state as the pain assaulted him and he unconsciously clutched the grass desperately in front of him as his survival instinct kicked in trying to survive as his heart started to beat out of rhythm.
The teenager blacked out with unseeing eyes, fresh blood pouring thickly from his head wound as the smoke increased and his bones creaked, his whole body going still in shock as he painfully shrunk as the poison does its grim work, burying him slowly in his green hoody and denim jeans till in the place of the sixteen year old was a six year old, his body wracked with chills and wound pouring more fresh blood down his pale face as his heartbeat steadied out.
In the background the mysterious clean-up could be heard moving Vodka's body and all the weapons from the area quickly as a passing security guard heard who heard the gunshot called the police.
A/N: Finally finished typing, this is the new, hopefully improved version of Conan, Detective of Death Rewrite.
Now, I always thought that if Shinichi wasn't hogging the market in ego, Ran would get a pretty big one, so there you go, I also can't get her character much and I'm trying to get everyone as much non OOC as possible out of the divergent, trying being the operative word of course, so point out any unintentional major OOCness you see plz.
It's said in my religion, that people who commit suicide go to hell, that's all that reference is, better than just walking up to a group of friends and saying 'don't commit suicide'.
Now, they only didn't use guns in canon cause there were police wandering around, no murder, no police, simple as that.
Muhahahaha, Implied background yaoi, my inner fangirl loves it, as does my outer one, lol, anyway pairings are going to be put underneath this A/N, as well as the reason for them, also I have to ask you guys a question since I've moved my hate of one character onto another since i planned this story and I'm wondering if I should change the pairing accordingly as I only put them together to make them suffer, won't be that big of a deal in the main plot anyway, mostly background til much, much later.
Finally, vermouth is here! yay, I LOVE HER! also Vodka is dead, also yay but It's not for bashing or anything, I just wanted Shinichi to kill someone in the first chapter and he's the only one not important. so YAY!
