…(cough) This has been bothering me for a while…really, it has. Who wouldn't love a chibi Gin?

XDDDDDDDDD

As Muse-chan would put it, "The plunnies were gnawing on my brain."

Disclaimer: I don't own Meitantei Conan blah blah blah. We all know this already! DDDDX

Chapter one: The new arrival

"Hey, did you guys hear?"

Ai looked up from her magazine and Conan stopped doodling long enough to glance at Ayumi, an eyebrow quirked.

The diminutive detective opened his mouth to ask, but the strawberry blonde beside him beat him to it with a nonchalant, "Hear about what, Ayumi-chan?"

"There's supposed to be a new student coming in today!" The brunette chimed happily, earning sighs from both teen turned children.

They should have known it was something so trivial.

Ai turned her attention back to her magazine, flipping to the next page and Conan went back to creating odd little scribbles all over his paper.

Genta and Mitsuhiko shared Ayumi's enthusiasm though, and they looked at the girl with wide grins.

"Really?! We haven't had a new student since Haibara-san's arrival!"

"I wonder what they're like."

Conan tuned their voices out, turning his head towards Ai.

"Can you believe how hyped up they are? It's just a kid."

"Hmm."

He sighed in exasperation.

"Would it kill you to say more than one word when someone is talking to you?"

She flipped the page.

"No."

He growled softly, his eyebrow twitching.

Conan opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off as the door to the classroom slid open. The entire class fell silent, their attention now placed on their Sensei and the new student standing by her side.

His blue eyes widened, and a gasp escaped his lips.

"n-No freaking way…" He breathed, shaking his head. He had to be imagining things. It wasn't possible.

Beside him, Ai was doing no better.

She hadn't looked up from the magazine yet, but she didn't need to. Her sixth sense warned her something was wrong. Something was terribly wrong.

And that feeling only intensified when the small boy of eight or nine began to speak, his cold green eyes glued to the strawberry blonde as he pronounced each syllable.

"Ohayo."

The class responded with a cheerful, "Ohayo!"

Everyone excluding Conan and Ai, that is.

Conan glared at him, hatred and anger dancing across his eyes. Ai, on the other hand, still refused to look at the blonde, keeping her head bowed, gazing down hard at the magazine.

If anyone had been paying attention, they might have noticed how her form trembled or how her skin had turned a deathly pale.

He had noticed though, and a mocking smirk tugged at his lips with his next words.

"My name is Otaktay Ito. It's a pleasure to be here today. I hope to become very good friends with you all."

Akira-sensei smiled at him before looking around for an empty desk.

She spotted one right behind Ai.

"There's a free seat behind Haibara-san, Otaktay-kun. Haibara-san, please raise your hand."

Ai sank down a little lower into her seat, trying to hide herself.

The teacher blinked, not used to this type of behavior from the girl.

"Haibara-san, please raise your hand."

She sunk down even further in her seat, and Akira swore she heard a soft mumble of, 'No.'

"Haibara-san-"

"It's alright, Sensei. I know where to sit."

'Otaktay' trotted towards Ai, the smirk still playing on his lips.

As he walked passed, Conan stuck his foot out, tripping the boy up. The blonde flew forward, landing on the floor with a thud.

"Otaktay-kun, are you alright?"

He pulled himself back to his feet, throwing a nasty glare in the detective's general direction.

"Just fine, Sensei."

With that, he seated himself, still glaring at the other boy. Conan glared back.

He mouthed one word.

Gin.

Another smirk found it's way onto his lips and he turned his attention towards Ai, who occasionally threw him a cautious look over her shoulder, as if worried he would actually dare to pull out a gun and shoot her then and there.

He really couldn't blame her.

He was sorely tempted to do so, but he had a feeling it wouldn't be his best idea.

Besides, he only had a few bullets left.

He wasn't sure how many exactly, but he wanted to make sure he had at least one left over.

That one would be for Vermouth.

He didn't know how she did it, but the American actress had gotten her paws on the case he carried with the few extra apoptoxin he had received from Sherry the day she had completed the project, unaware that it would be a complete failure when it came to certain people it was given to.

Gin was, apparently, one of those people.

And he still had no idea how she had gotten the pill down his throat, but she would pay.

Oh, she would pay for getting him into this situation.

"Well, this should be fun."

He leaned forward, stopping by the girl's ear.

Ai stiffened visibly, obviously extremely uncomfortable with how close the blonde was.

"Eh, Sherry?"

End of chapter one

…Tadaa? I really don't know how to explain that…but I will explain Gin's choice of his alias! :3

Otaktay is a Native American Sioux name that means, "Kills many." And Ito is one of the most popular last names in Japan, so there isn't anything suspicious about it.

The only people who might understand his choice of alias would be Ai and Conan. No one else in the show had studied anything else outside of Japan, so I figured it would be a good name for him with only those two understanding what it meant.
