A Conan and Ayumi romance when an accident occurred!
P.S.: Conan, Ayumi, Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ai are all seventeen year olds. Ran is twenty-six. ish
A drive-way shooting had occurred on this day. It was a beautiful summer day, they were celebrating Ayumi's acceptance to the journalism class she wanted to take badly. Even Ai found herself grinning a bit, Ayumi couldn't help but love the certificate they had given. For a second, she felt her chest well with pride. Ayumi's mother had made the best dinner there was. It was nine at the night, Ayumi was at the porch, watching the stars. Suddenly, she felt the door open. She looked around. It was Conan, her crush since she first met him. Conan smirked, "Aren't you going back in? Everybody else is back there. You'll catch your death here." Ayumi smiled, "Oh, you, it's summer not winter. Aren't you supposed to be the smart one in the group, aren't you?" Conan's smirk grew but Ayumi noticed his eyes were a bit teary and worried. Was there something he was hiding? She asked, worriedly, "Conan-kun, is there something wrong?"
Conan shook his head, "No... Everything's fine." Ayumi frowned, "Conan..." Conan realized, Oh crap, she didn't use any honorifics. She's serious. I guess I better tell her. He sighed and said, "Ayumi-chan, I...I...I got into trouble with this gang. I got one of the members, a girl named Rouge, in jail. Her little friends, they call themselves the Capone Kids- say they're going to get back at me." Ayumi said, worriedly, "Wait! Back at you? What do you mean?" Conan fumbled but he said, finally, "They want you and the others dead." Ayumi gasped and began to get angry, " What? Why...why didn't you tell me earlier?" Her normally cheerful voice was suddenly in angry vibes. Conan suddenly flinched, "Ayumi, wait, look I didn't know!" Ayumi snapped, "Now thanks to you there's a chance I'm going to die. No, we're all gonna die thanks to you!" Conan was hurt but suddenly he became very angry, "My fault? My FAULT? What about you? If you hadn't been poking your nose in the bank that day, I wouldn't have meet Rouge and gotten her friends mad at me!" Ayumi barked, "ME? IT WAS YOU AND YOUR STUPID OBSESSION WITH SOLVING BULLSHIT!" The two glared at each other, blood replaced with anger. The two didn't mean what they had said but Conan's truth was so sudden that it angered Ayumi. Suddenly, a gun thunder was heard. Their bodies stiffened and looked around.
"Ayumi! The Capone Kids are here!" Conan said, horrified. The two ducked in horror. Ayumi let out a scream of terror as she ducked her head, hearing the gun shot fire at her. She barely dodged it. "Ayumi!" she heard somebody shout. She looked at her left and saw Conan hiding the same place she was. "Conan!" Conan then said, "Shh!" Ayumi quieted down. For a second, there was no gun-shot.
Conan and Ayumi looked around and sighed in relief. Suddenly, Ayumi shrieked in terror. Conan looked up and gasped in horror. A tall boy, one of the Capone Kids, was holding Ayumi as she was struggling to get out. She growled, "Let me go! Damn it!" She then kicked the boy in his privates, making him flinch in pain and free her. She smirked, "Nice try, idiots." Suddenly, one of the Capone Kids, a girl, grabbed a gun and shot it at Ayumi's left leg. Ayumi felt a darkness overwhelmed her and she blacked out.
"AYUMI-CHAN!" Conan shouted in fear. The girl who shot Ayumi, with honey coloured hair, black eyes, and ruby lips said, sarcastically "Oh, this bitch your little sweetheart? Your Juliet? That's so adorable, like- so romantic, how sweet... too bad she's gonna die tonight." She looked up at Conan and grinned evilly, "This is payback, Kid. For Rouge. First we're gonna get rid of Sleeping Slut here, then shot everyone in the house, and now you'll know how it feels like to lose somebody. What do you say?" Conan was about to answer when, she laughed sarcastically and said these cruel words, "Say good-bye to your girlfriend forever, asshole." She knelt down and examined Ayumi's unconscious body, grabbing a knife. "Hmm...I think I'll start with... her face..." she purred sweetly - as though she was saying, "She has a lovely dress on" and laughed. Conan panicked and suddenly found a rock the size of a fist. He angrily grabbed it and smashed it ... down the girl's temple.
The girl screamed and fell down on Ayumi's chest, dying. Conan watched as the girl took one shuddering breath and became still. A boy far from her, one of the Capone Kids, said in horror,"Seiko!" then growled at Conan, "You're gonna pay!" and went to the car. For a second, Conan felt fear- he- who solved mysteries nobody could, had a normally good moral code, who found the murderer in every whodunit- had just killed a clinically - insane girl for trying to kill a friend of his. (A/N: Not very Detective like, huh?)
But when he looked at Ayumi, and to his relief, her chest falling up and down- a sign of life- he was no longer afraid. He removed the gang member's body from Ayumi. So far the other gang members weren't attacking anybody, maybe changing their strategy in the car. Suddenly, Ai, Genta, and Mitsuhiko ran outside. Conan became pale. He didn't want them to know what had happened to Ayumi. His body froze when they got to him to look at Ayumi. They watched in horror, as Ayumi was lying limply and Conan was kneeling next to her. "AYUMI-CHAN!" Genta shouted in shock and horror. Ai said, half-angry at Conan and half-worried for Ayumi, "Edogawa-kun, what the hell happened?" Conan was silent.
Mitsuhiko said, worriedly, "Conan, she asked you a question! Say something!" Conan still was quiet. Mitsuhiko nervous and irritated- but was still worried and horrified- and said, "Oh, Conan, you jerk! What did you do to her?" No response from Conan. Mitsuhiko, suddenly became very angry and yelled at Conan- who stood in shock, "I said, what the fuck did you do to her?" Conan sighed, "I didn't mean it. She (he pointed to the dead gang girl lying next to a palm tree that was planted) shot Ayumi and she tried to kill her with a knife... I smashed her skull with a rock to save Ayumi." He closed his eyes, hoping that would mollify his angered friends. He opened them to see the three glaring daggers at him.
Suddenly, Mitsuhiko snapped, "I don't give a shit about the gang bitch!" Ai and Genta gasped, shocked at the normally calm and easy going boy yelling at his friend. "You're a low-life who would let anybody die to save yourself. 'Good Moral' code? 'Good Moral' code, my ass!" Conan stood there, horrified and shocked at Mitsuhiko, feeling like he was a criminal who had been discovered of the crime they committed. "Tsuburaya-kun, try to calm down... " Ai said, trying to calm the boy but he snapped at Conan, "Ayumi-chan is going to die and it's all your fault!" Conan gasped, Mitsuhiko having hit him in the most vulnerable place he could ever have been hit: his feelings. As much as he hated to admit it, Mitsuhiko was right. If he didn't act fast, Ayumi could die of her injuries and blood loss. But then he realized another thing. This was his chance to act fast, and now!
Conan shouted, feeling angry and worried, "You three go back to the home and tell Ayumi's parents to call 9-11 for a hospital and the police or an ambulance." Mitsuhiko shouted, still angry, Oh now, he will do something, when it's too late! "WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING ABOUT AYUMI? HAVEN'T YOU DONE ENOUGH, YOU...?" Ai suddenly interrupted him, "Tsuburaya-kun, let him do it..." before grinning a bit, realizing Conan really cared for Ayumi. "Go..." Conan ushered. The three went back into the house, though Mitsuhiko was still grumbling, thinking Conan did this to Ayumi. Conan sighed in relief and looked around at Ayumi. Suddenly, he noticed a horrific realization.
Ayumi's chest wasn't falling up or down.
Conan became pale, the blood draining from his face, mumbled, "Ayumi, please."Conan decided to do CPR on Ayumi and fast. He knelt next to her and began to perform CPR. After fruitless attempts, Ayumi still didn't stir. Conan let tears fall down on his eyes that he had been trying to hold on when Mitsuhiko yelled at him and mumbled, "Please, Ayumi, don't die... on your parents...on Dr. Agasa, on Ai and the boys... and... me. Please..." Then, for the first time, in years, maybe even in his entire life, he sobbed. He hadn't sobbed as hard for anything- or anyone as he did that night.
He said through his sobs, "I... love...you, Ayumi..."
Suddenly, one of the Capone Kids grabbed a gun, having came to. "Aw, how touching..." The gang member said, "Too bad, she's nearer to hell to hear you, you know, dying and all." He began to ready his gun, ready to shoot Ayumi in the head when Conan noticed. The tears stopped and he growled, "No!". The gun triggered, Conan moved to protect Ayumi with his body. Then suddenly, he felt blood gushing out. And an eternal darkness overgulfed him.
Ai, Mitsuhiko, and Genta had called the police and explained the story to Ayumi's parents, Ran, and Dr. Agasa. "Dr. Agasa!" Genta shouted worriedly. Ayumi's mother said, "Genta, where are Conan and Ayumi? They need to come inside!" Ai said, horrified, "Mrs. Yoshida, Conan and Ayumi are in the middle of a gang brawl!" Ayumi's father said, "What?! Is Ayumi okay?!" Mitsuhiko said, still angry at Conan but not as much as , "I think so. Conan told us himself..." Ai shouted, in horror, "Call 9-11!" Ayumi's father rushed to the phone and began to explain. Ai then added, just as Mr. Yoshida was about to hang up, "Call an ambulance, too." With that, police cars and an ambulance rushed to the scene. The Capone Kids didn't see it coming!
"Okay, now, let's end this." The same kid who shot Conan said. He removed the unconscious Conan and was about to strike Ayumi- still unconscious- with the gun when "ARGH!" the kid screamed in pain as he fell down, gun dropping. The rest of the Capone Kids became fearful and put their hands up. After the Capone Kids were rounded up, the police surveyed the area: a lifeless honey-haired girl all ready pale near a bloody rock, Ayumi, who was miraculously still alive as one of the policeman checked her pulse- lying unconscious and taken to the hospital, and Conan Edogawa - dead.
The rest of the group were informed about it. Ayumi's parents could only sigh in when relief when they told her Ayumi was going to be all right. Ten minutes before the group got to the hospital where Ayumi and Conan were, Ayumi regained consciousness. "Where am I?" she mumbled to herself and looked at her surroundings. She was dressed in a blue hospital gown put still had her bra and panties under it and she checked at the clock. One -seventeen in the morning. "Woah," she said to herself, "I was out for four hours?!" She had no time to say anything else, because Genta barged into her room. "Ayumi!" Genta shouted happily. Ayumi looked at the relieved group and said in delight, "Guys!"
She was greeted with reliefs and shouts of delight, that she would be fine. She grinned, but to her surprise, frowned worriedly as she saw Conan wasn't here. Where was he? She had heard the sweet things Conan said, that he loved her, how he didn't want her to die, when she was unconscious - which was weird, since she was unconscious and unconscious people can't hear- but nonetheless, sweet. Where was he? Where was Conan Edogawa? Dr. Agasa noticed the worry in Ayumi's eyes. He asked, "What is the matter?" She asked, worriedly, "Where's Conan-kun?" Suddenly, a cross of hurt was in everyone's faces. Ayumi said, suddenly horrified, "WHAT'S WRONG?" Ran said, tearfully, "Ayumi, Conan's d-d-d..." then suddenly broke into sobs. Ayumi snapped, angrily and horrified, "WHAT THE HELL? WHAT HAPPENED, RAN? CONAN IS WHAT? DAMN IT! I CAN TAKE IT! AND I BET CONAN CAN TAKE THE NEWS TOO!" Oh, if only she knew how tragically ironic her words would be. Ai then sighed sadly and said, "He took a shot for you when you were unconscious He died instantly." Ayumi felt her world fall down before her. Conan? Dead?
No!
Knowing how distraught Ayumi was, Ran and Ai took her to the room where Conan lay dead. Ayumi shook her head, she still couldn't believe her eyes. Conan was laying on the bed, eyes closed, a bullet hole in the middle of his chest, and skin pale as a dead fish. He looked like he could have been a body from the crimes the Detective Boys solved when they were kids. At first, Ayumi was just stunned, she didn't hear Ran's weeping at the loss of her adopted younger brother or Ai saying, "Ayumi? Are you okay?". Her body was quiet.
Time had almost paused, even.
Then, she started to weep, so suddenly, it worried her family and friends. "No, Conan, please, no!" She shouted, sobbing. Ran was trying to calm herself and tried to stop crying to comfort Ayumi but to her shock, saw Ayumi somehow calmed down. Ayumi said, to Ran and Ai, "I want to be alone..." They obeyed her and left the room. "Oh, Conan. I'm sorry about the mean things I had said about being so selfish, of thinking about me only, when you said the Capone Kids were coming." She began to stroke Conan's brow, and to her sadness, noticed Conan didn't stir under her gentle touch, "What you said to me was really sweet, really... before you d-died... how you didn't want me to die... how you loved me and everything..." The people that heard it began to gasp. Ai had let a few tears fall down her cheeks. Ran started to cry and buried her face in her hands. Genta was saying, "I'm not going to cry... I'm not going to cry..." before ending up crying himself. Ayumi's parents and Dr. Agasa were the only ones not crying, but they were sympathetic over Ayumi's loss and saddened over Conan's death. "I just want to say that I love you too..." despite trying to calm herself, she began to weep really hard.
A little farther from the others, Mitsuhiko was crying, feeling extremely guilty. He had felt so bad for yelling at Conan when the boy was only trying to help Ayumi. It was just that he was so worried for Ayumi, for his own selfish needs. Sure, Conan screwed up at first but he redeemed it when he saved Ayumi from the shot that could have made death for Ayumi certain that night. Now, Conan was gone.
Forever.
