Chapter 1: Conan or Shinichi
Author's note: I do not own the characters and this is a complete work of fan fiction. More reviews more updates, you know the drill.
"Kudo, Kudo, Kudo!" A voice screams out as Conan is left alone in darkness which has an eerie light shining down only on him. He glances around and sees nothing but three pictures in different colored stains. The first one has a picture of a female angel fighting a harpy with a cherry oak frame finish. Then the next one has a wine cellar with a glass of bourbon broken in half with its contents seeping out with a black frame with red spots. The last one has a dove with a magnifying glass in its claws with a pure white frame that has a tint of baby bluish violet.
Conan woke from his bed in a cold sweat. His eyes were widened and his whole body was shaking. He grabs the glasses and walks to the W.C. Conan sighs at himself as he washes his face.
"It has been a long three years." Conan thought as he brushed his teeth. He glanced at the calendar and it was a Saturday. He noticed marks on the days that have previously happened, but today had a circle around it.
"Probably something the old man forgot so Ran made him remembers it." He thought as he got dressed.
After he cleaned up his room and grabbed his sleep needle watch and voice changing bowtie, he walked into the office and found Ran with Sonoko, Heiji, and Kazuha. He slowly walked in as Ran greeted him with a hug and a somewhat passionate kiss to the forehead. Conan blushed a little bit.
"Ran-neechan what is the special occasion?" Conan asked.
"Oh nothing, we decided to go to Tropical Land together on this special day, and we decided to take you with us." She smiled as she gave him his plate of eggs and rice balls with bacon stuffed inside of them.
This was not the usual morning treatment for Conan. It is usually Kogoro yelling at him for snooping in his work and being a free loader, even though, Conan's mom gave him ten billion yen for him staying there. Conan ate his plate and glanced at Heiji for any clues about Ran's unusual behavior. He shrugged his shoulders.
"You can invite you friends, too, brat!" Said a groggy Kogoro. "This is an all expenses paid trip. So we need to get to moving if I… I mean y'all are going to make it before the rush crowd." He yawned as he gave Ran an envelope with her name on it. As he was handing it to her, a slip of paper fell out of it. Ran picked it up a read it:
Hello good person, this is my thanks for
Helping me out of a jam awhile ago
Hope you have fun at the Disney of Japan
Here is card that contains as much money as you need
Have fun and be careful
"Wow, I guess it was from your…" Sonoko started but was swiftly interrupted by Kogoro and Heiji. They waved their fingers as in "No, not today" fashion. Sonoko felt a little gloomy afterwards.
"How they knew I was going to Tropical Land, today?" Ran smiled as she tossed the note back a Conan. Conan caught the note and stuffed it in his pocket.
"Well I'll go and get Ai-Chan from Prof. Agasa's house." Conan said as he ran out the door. As soon as the door shut, the atmosphere changed.
"Ran, you can't be serious, are you?" Kazuha asked worried.
Ran just did an evil smirk as her eyes darkened over her face.
"Why don't you and Heiji go on ahead, I have to get ready." Ran said as she dragged Sonoko into her room.
"Heiji, c'mon give Miss Mouri her privacy." Kazuha said as she shoved Heiji out of the room.
"Ah Kudo-kun, just in time too. I made a new gadget for you." Prof. Agasa stated as Conan walked in. "Here catch."
Conan caught what seemed like to be a normal pen. Conan glared at the professor with a concerned look.
"Well try it out and see what it does." Pushed Agasa.
"Fine I will as he pressed the hidden button. The pen shot a scanner right into Prof. Agasa face. The blinding light reflected of his glasses and back to Conan.
"My eyes!! Dammit" Conan sweared as he hit the button again to stop the light.
"So what do ya think? You can use that to give you an advantage to prepare yourself, when you are about to kick a soccer ball or a similar object into a foe." Prof. Agasa laughed.
Conan groaned at him as Ai slowly came from her basement lab. She gave him an uneasy stare as she called Ayumi.
"What Ai is calling a person?!" Prof. Agasa and Conan said simultaneously.
"Moshi moshi" Ayumi answered
"Hello, Ayumi, this Ai Haibara and I were wondering if you and rest of the Detective boys want to go to Tropical Land with Conan and me.
"Well, Genta said that he was going to spend the day with his dad and Mithsuko told me that he and his family were going to Osaka for the week. As for myself, I have to help my mom with family issues. But thanks for calling Ai-chan." She paused for a moment. "See you real soon and tell Conan bye for me."
"Ok, I understand your circumstances and goodbye." She closed the phone slowly. "Why don't you two ever grow up as she glared at Conan and Agasa who was shocked at her behavior? Conan pocketed his new gadget and pulled out the letter. He gave it to Agasa.
"Can you see if there is anything fishy about this letter? I examined it and it looks like it is legit." Conan sharply asked.
"Sure thing, Kudo-kun." He said as he sat the note on his desk.
"I guess we shall be going. Are you should you do not want to come, Professor?" Ai asked emotionless.
"You young people go have fun without an old guy like me." Agasa said as he walked them out of the door. "Be careful, the both of you."
Conan and Ai nodded as they walked back to Mouri Agency together. The sky was full of white fluffy clouds and clears as a looking glass.
"So what do you think about us, being little kids for this long without anyone noticing?" Ai asked.
"Well I'm sort of tired of it, you know, not being able to do the things that you would normally do." Conan started. "I have issues with conflicting against myself to tell Ran the truth or not. It is sometimes so difficult to comprehend this ordeal that I can't understand it."
"So says the high school Detective who can solve impossible crimes." Ai teased.
"Ha ha…Conan laughed sarcastically.
Ran and the others were waiting outside of Korogo's rental, with was a luxury size van, with eleven seats in it. Conan and Ai told the others why the others could not go. Ran seemed happy a little bit as she stared at Conan.
"C'mon people, we need to get to moving!" Korogo yelled as he pushed everyone inside the van. He jumped in the driver's side and revved the engine. The van squealed off into the street on to the highway.
As the blue van travelled on the highway, Ran looked at Conan, who was in her lap.
"This is the best part of this ordeal!" Conan thought as he gave the child's smile of happiness to her face. She smiled back. Ai noticed their sparks as she dug herself back into her magazine. Sonoko peeked into her magazine.
"Little girls shouldn't be reading stuff like Vogue, and Vanity Fair. I should be reading this while snuggled up with Makoto." She said.
"This is just one of my entertainment books," Ai started, "my other magazines are mainly about stem cell research, chemicals, and doctors. I want to be a famous chemist someday."
"I hate doing stuff like this!" Ai grouched to herself as she noticed Conan giving a light snickering.
Heiji and Kazuha were arguing about that charm on the whole way there, so let's not get involved with that.
The day was ready to explore the regions of tropical land. The Ferris wheel spinned as many people looked up at it shines in the sunlight. The gang piled out of the van like a stakeout crew about to attack the criminal.
"Dad, don't worry about us, we'll catch a train home." Ran said as she sat Conan down to the ground.
"Okay!" He said as he sped off in the van, causing it to jump a curb.
"We'll split up into three groups of two and meet back her at 9'oclock to watch the fireworks show by the Ferris wheel." Ran stated. "Now partner up!"
Automatically it was Heiji and Kazuha. Conan tried to get Ai to be his partner but was stopped by Ran tugging at him. Sonoko patted Ai on her brown hair and smiled. Ran held Conan by the hand. Ran signaled for everyone to split up. Ran and Conan walked to the fountain where she beat up that crazy psychologist for trying to kill Conan. Ran told Conan to wait in middle for a few seconds before….Whoosh! The water shot out of the ground and made mini rainbows over the two friends. Ran walked Conan to the statue park. Conan got a cold feeling about this and his heart rate increased a little bit. Ran stooped down to Conan level and kissed him on the lips. Conan's mind went in circles and spun out of control. Ran held the kiss for a least a good two minutes then slowly let off of his lips. Conan shocked as ever, looked into her passionate eyes.
"What is going on here? Did she figure it out? Is this the Ran Mouri, I know?" Shinichi thought to himself.
"Hey it was the boy from this spot three years ago." A guard said.
"He's pretty famous now, he stopped Kaito Kid a few times, and I've read about him in the newspaper." Another said.
"A Secret makes a woman, a woman." Ran lowly said.
Conan lost his breathe as he heard those words come from Ran, a person he truly loves. Conan stepped slowly back and aimed the sleep needle watch at Ran's face. Ran gave that creepy evil grin from before.
"I got a question for you Miss Mouri, that is if you are really who you say you are." He snapped at her.
"Conan-kun, it's me Ran. I adore as much as a little brother." Ran said. "Now give me a hug and apologize."
"Well your disguise is ruined anyway, Vermouth!" He shouted as the two guards ran towards him. He activated his super strength shoes and popped a soccer ball from his belt and kicked it in both of their faces. Both of them went down like rocks. Ran gave an evil roar of laughter as she clicked the needles out of Conan watch. One by one the needle sprinkled on to the ground like rain droplets hitting the pavement. Conan was shocked and speechless.
"Now we can talk, but I will not unmask myself just yet." Ran said with pride. "But first answer me this, who are you Conan Edogawa or Shinichi Kudo?
The wind came in heavy as Conan was stuck with this unpredicted move. Conan fell to his knees and pondered on this life changing question. Was he about to be captured or Shot on the spot?
Buzz. Buzz. His cell phone vibrated in his pocket and he took it out and read the message from Prof. Agasa. He got the note translated, but the result trigged Conan to shut the phone as quickly as possible.
"What is your answer, Kid?" Ran smirked.
"Once I answer your question, pull off your mask and reveal yourself deal?"
Ran nodded as Conan said:
"I am Shinichi Kudo, high school detective."
TO be continued.
Author's notes: For starters, I won't update until I have at least 5 reviews with your theories on who Ran really is. This is my first DC FanFic, so I may have left some clues early on, but the update with be more thought out.
