A/N: OK…So, I decided to make some HeiShin/HeiCo fanfics while listening to some of Bamboo Mañalac's songs. I've choose three English songs sung by him. If you want to, you can listen to them while reading the fanfics. Each fanfic has their designated song and that designated song is always mentioned at the title. Anyway, hope you will like it.


Track One: As the Music Plays the Band


Song: As the Music Plays the Band
Singer: Bamboo
Album: As the Music Plays


It was another normal day for Shinichi Kudo. There was nothing much to do and he was bored. He was sitting on one side of the couch, reading another of Conan Doyle's novel about his favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes. He sighed out of boredom as he closed his eyes for a moment. Then, he continued reading the book with bored blue eyes. His white shirt is loose and his brown hair is messy. Shinichi got a cup of coffee on the desk beside him and took a sip when, the doorbell rang. Shinichi faced the door as the doorbell continued to ring.

"I wonder who could be coming here at such an hour?" he thought as he stood up and went towards the door. As he opened the door, there he saw a tanned lad wearing a green blazer over a blue shirt, light blue pants and brown shoes. Just from the sight of the baseball cap with the word, "SAX" embedded on it, and the wide cheeky grin of the lad, Shinichi knew right away that it was his best friend and rival, Heiji Hattori.

"Heya, Kudo!" the visitor from Osaka greeted Shinichi happily. "How's life?"

"Pretty good," Shinichi simply replied as he moved aside. "Come in and make yourself comfortable."

Heiji walked inside the mansion and sat on the couch where his friend sat just a while ago. He noticed the coffee and the book.

"No cases?" asked Heiji as he turned to his friend who sat beside him.

"Yep," Shinichi simply replied as he continued reading the novel that he was reading. "Nothing much happened lately."

"Is that so?"

Heiji looked at his friend's bored face while reading. The Osakan seemed to notice the bored eyes of his fellow detective. He must do something to cheer up the mood. But, he couldn't think of any. What should he do?

Then, Heiji remembered that he brought along his MP3 player with him. He got it in his pocket and checked some songs which he could play. Then, he found an interesting song which he and Shinichi could listen to. Heiji plugged the earphones to the MP3 and putted one earpiece to Shinichi's ear, which Shinichi didn't notice. Heiji pressed the play button and slowly adjusted the volume.

Shinichi felt somewhat at ease as he listened to the song. It began with a somewhat funky intro and then slowly, the first verse was sung:

On the radio, DJ plays a song
Thank you sir, for the music
Listen night and day
To all the bands that play
Great music, great music

Shinichi closed his eyes as he smiled to himself as the song continued to play on. He opened his eyes once more and continued reading the novel. But, his smile didn't fade during that time.

"Hattori, what is this song?" Shinichi asked, as Heiji was leaning against the couch with eyes closed and a smile in his face, somehow similar to that of Shinichi's expression. "It seems to be an English song sung by a foreign singer."

"Indeed," Heiji said. "The song is entitled, 'As the Music Plays the Band' by Bamboo Mañalac, a Filipino singer."

"A Filipino," Shinichi muttered. "I have never thought about it."

Then, Shinichi and Heiji continued to listen to the song as it continued playing. The singer's cool and calm voice echoed through the earphones as the second verse was sung.

Wrote this song,
For all of you
Out there
With its catch melody
And simple harmonies
Let the music take control
Let the music take your soul
Everybody sing this song with me

As the song continued to play, Shinichi stopped reading the book and closed it. He held the book in his chest and listened to the catchy melody of the song. He fixed the earphone a little but then, he noticed that someone touched his hand. It was a tanned hand and Shinichi blushed lightly as he looked beside him. Heiji was holding Shinichi's hand, with the Western Detective smiling warmly at his friend. Shinichi then, smiled back. They putted their hands on the couch but, their hands still clasped with each other. Shinichi felt the warmth of Heiji's hand that is slowly transferring to his own hand. As the song was about to end, the two detective became sleepy and then later, they fell asleep, still holding with each other's hand. A calm breeze towards the empty room, as the song slowly ended.
