The Journal of Conan Edogawa

I do not own Detective Conan!

Chapter 1: Why Didn't I Listen to Her

Entry #1

I've never been really good at keeping a journal. I have a notebook that I write evidence in but that's different. I guess I should start by writing down stuff about myself. My name is Shinichi Kudou. I'm 17 years old and was in my second year in high school. I was a famous high school detective. But that all seems like a dream now. Those guys took all of that away from me.

It all started when I took Ran to Tropical Land. I promised to take her since she won her karate tournament. Back then, I was cocky…overconfident. I thought that I was invincible. Ran warned me about that but I was so filled with pride, that I didn't listen. Why didn't I listen to her?

I solved a murder that happened on the roller coaster that we were riding. I remember that the two guys that were sitting in the back were acting suspicious. I couldn't forget those guys, even if I wanted to. After the murder was solved, me and Ran rode some other rides. She was upset because of what had happened but I took it lightly. I see that sort of thing all the time so I was used to it.

I remember seeing one of the suspicious guys in black, the ones that were acting suspicious, run off behind one of the attractions. I told Ran that I'd catch up with her later and ran off after the man. She told me to wait but I didn't listen. Why didn't I listen to her?

It turned out that the man in black was in the middle of a shady transaction. Before I could do anything, the other one had snuck up from behind and hit me on the back of the head. They forced me to take some sort of poison that was supposed to kill me. Then they left me to die. I learned then that I wasn't invincible. I was still nothing more than an ordinary high schooler. If only I had listened to Ran, than I wouldn't be in this mess. Why didn't I listen to her?

Conan laid down his pen. It had been a while since his 'incident' and he still had nothing to go on. Ran and Kogorou were out for the day, leaving him alone. He stared out the window with a sad look in his eyes. "I'm sorry, Ran. I should have listened to you."

So this is my third fan fiction! Unlike my other fanfics, this is not going to in the humor category (Trying new things!) If you have any ideas, please let me know! Thanks for reading!
