The sight before her was a painting of crimson reds and bright burning oranges and yellows, sparks flying in the night. She stood there, in utter shock, as the flames leapt higher and higher, brighter and brighter, as the house it originated from slowly incinerated. 'No...No...' she blinked once, twice, three times. And yet it was still there, the painting of destruction. Of death.
"NO!CONAN-KUN!" she screamed, rushing towards the burning house.
"RAN! It's too late for us to be able to do anything!" Her father grabbed her arm and held her back. She struggled, in vain, to free herself from his grasp as she continued screaming in despair
"KUDO!" Hattori was also doing the same thing, a crazed look of desperation in his eyes. He was held off by Ohtaki-han, who stared at the fire with wide open eyes. "LEGGO OF ME! I GOTTA GO SAVE KUDO!"
"You can't! You'll burn down with the house! It'll collapse any ti-" there was a deafening explosion, and the house slowly folded in on itself, the flames still consuming it eagerly, hungrily. And it was then that Ran realized it was too late, and she dropped to her knees and cried till she lost consciousness.

I just thought of a new story, and I felt a need to put it on here. I personally think it's a good shot but please give some reviews so I can decide whether to keep going or not. Thanks ^^
