CHAPTER ONE

**************

It was a very cold and rainy day. People on the streets ran to thier houses. Not many of them were outside. If someone was, he or she had an umbrella. Two young girls were walking down the street and one of them was talking really exited.

"You really know what does it mean?"- asedk her friend Sonoko Suzuki.

"Well, not execlly..."- answered Ran Mouri, walking beside her.

"O come on Ran!"- Sonoko looked at her permissive.

"But I really don't understand you Sonoko."- she said.

"All right, it's summer, isn't it?"- Sonoko stoped walking.

"Yes, it is."- Ran stoped also.

"And the school is out, am I right?"- she asked another question.

"Yes, Sonoko, but what are you up to?"

"I don't have to do homework or study and I have now really much time!"

"You are right, but for what you have that much time?"

"O Ran! Don't be stupid... for boys of course!"

"Sonoko, can't you think of something else sometimes?"

"Why? I wan't to date someone and summer is the perfect time for it."

"Yes, you are right, but you allways want to date someone and never you stay beside this boy any longer then one or two weeks."

"Ran you exaggerate...."

"No I'm not, you are allways acting like this"

"No I'm not!"

"Yes, you are."

"No, no and definetly, no!!!"

"Allright, I don't want to argue with you Sonoko, but I am right."

"Come on! What about you?"

"Me? What are you thinking of?"

"Of this that you never dated someone in youre whole life! Maybe I am wrong, but

did you date someone or no?"

"Well, execlly, no."

"Why not? Many boys are running for you."

"No-one is running for me Sonoko! I don't date, because......because...hmm... I don't know...."

"I know"

"Then why?"

"Because you love Shinichi!"

"No I don't!!!!!!!"

"Yes, you do!"

"No, no, no!!!!!"

"If you scream that loud, that means that I'm right."

"You aren't. He is stupid and he doesn't care of somenthing else then his cases!"

"All right Ran, calm down, but you love him even if he has been missing for such long time. Am I right?"

"No you aren't! Sorry, but I have to go home."

"Ran wait a second!"

But she didn't wait. She ran down the street, not looking back. Trought the rain and trought the fogg. She dissapeard from Sonoko's eyes. Sonoko was still standing in the rain, alone. She was thinking. "You really must love him"- she thinked.

Kogoro Mouri was laying on the couch. He was wathing TV half-asleep. It was allready 10:00 PM. On the table in front of the couch were standing some cans of bear. He didn't eat supper, bacause his douther went out with her friend Sonoko. He was really hungry. On TV was nothing interesting. Some people were singing in karaoke bar. Kogoro wasn't interested in music.

Conan walked in to the room where Kogoro was watching TV. He was a little worried about Ran. She said that she will be home at 8:00 PM, but she still didn't come back. Ran went out with Sonoko at 3:00 PM. They wanted to go shoping and buy some new clothes.

Kogoro looked at the hard thinking boy.

"At that time you should been sleeping!"- he said a little angry.

"Sorry, but I am worried about Ran. She didn't come back home yet. She said she will be back at 8:00 PM."

"Yes, she said that. She didn't think how hungry I could be!"

"Allright, but maybe we should call the police or at least Sonoko"- offered Conan.

"Calm down, you idiot! Ran is almoust an adult!"

"Yeah, I know, If I was myself I would be almoust an adult too."- he thinked sadlly.

A moment later both of them heard the sound of opening door. Ran walked in to the room carring a bag in her left hand. She was wet from rain, that didin't stop for hours. She puted the bag on the counter, then she smilled to Conan and her father.

"Ran where were you?"- asked Kogoro.

"I was with Sonoko."- anwsered Ran.

She wanted to go to her room allready.

"Excuse me, but I tought that Sonoko had to return to her house at 8:00, because her aunt was comming for supper."- said Conan, who allready knowed that she is lying.

"Well yes, but I had to be a little time alone. Sorry, but can I go to my room now?"- she turned around to the door.

"Of course you can. Go ahead if you want."- said Kogoro.

"Something is wrong with her."- thought Conan.

Ran walked out the door and walked straight to her room. She layed on her bed. Her eyes were full of tears. She turned the lamp off, standing on the tabble next to her bed. The room was now full of darknes.

"What if he will newer come back? What if his cases are one big lie? I know that Sonoko is right. I really love him, very strong. Maybe to strong? I know that he doesn't feell like that. He has a lot of female fans. Maybe he has allready a girlfriend... Maybe he is now very happy and he don't want to return. I know that he is lying, I figured out this allready. This case goes on for over an year. Where is he now?"- she was thinking hardly and tears began to fall from her eyes.

When Conan was walking to his room he heard someone crying quietly.

"Ran....."- he tought.

He walked to the door of her room. He heard a little louder crying.

"She is really crying, but why?"- he thinked.

Whithout thinking he slowly entered her room. She didn't notice him. She was laying on her bed and crying quietly.

"Ran-neechan are you okay?"- he asked her slightly.

"Conan... What are you doing here?"

"Nothing, I just here you crying and asked you are you okay."

"I'm fine, go to bed it's late."- she said with a weakly smile.

"But, can I ask, why were you crying?"

"O, nothing, just some stupid thought came up to my mind."- her eyes one more time began fulling of tears.

"Ran-neechan....."

"Conan, just go to sleep, I'll be okay."- she wanted to stop tears from falling down her cheeks.

"Are you sure?"- he asked before leaving, but his hearth didn't want to leave her alone in this time.

"Yes, go sleep."- she sad with a little smile.

"Okay, good night Ran-neechan."

"Goodnight Conan."

He walked out of her room and goed to his own. He layed on his bed with his thoughts.

"Why she was crying? I hope not those tears weren't because of me. I can't tell her the truth. If I would they could kill her. I don't whant to loose her, I realy don't. Damn it! Why I follow those criminal idiots! If I was myself... Wait, what I would do if I were myself? Maybe I would talk to her and maybe I would tell her the truth. The truth is that....that..... I just love her. I noticed this when I turned in Conan and didn't belive that there is a chanse to get back to my own self..... and I don't belive now either."- he thinked.

At 1:00 AM he fell asleep. He was tierd of his own thoughts.

Next day the sun was shining brightly. Kogoro was wathing a very interesting for him soccer match. Poland played against Japan. Japan was winning 1:0. Ran was washing the dishes in the kitchen after the dinner. Conan waited for the phone from profesor Agasa. He promised that he will call him when he find a new cure for APTX. Like allways it probablly wont work.

The phone rang loudly.

"I will answer it!"- screamed Conan.

He picked up the telephone receiver.

"Hallo, Kogoro Mouri's Detective Agency."- he said to the receiver.

"O... that's you Conan. May I speak to Ran?- it wasn't profesor, it was just Sonoko.

"Yes, I will call her. Wait a second."- he was really disapointed.

"Ran-neechan! Sonoko is calling you!"- he screamed.

Conan gave the reciver to Ran.

"Hi Sonoko. What do you want?"- she asked a little angry for her for theire last talk.

"Sorry Ran for yesturday."

"Sonoko you allways apologise to me and next time you allways act the same."

"Allright, I sad sorry.."

"Never mind."

"Ran, can we meat at the city?"

"Hmm.... I don't know. Allright, what time?"

"Maybe 2:00 PM. Is it okay?"

"All right, see you then!"

"See you!"

She hanged up.

"Ran-neechan, did you and Sonoko had a fight?"- conan asked her.

"A little."- Ran smilled at him.

"Hush you to! Can stop talking now!? The news on TV are starting. In this

episode they will say about some black organization police had cought last night."- said Kogoro staring at them a litlle angy.

"What!?"- Conan's eyes widened.

"O! You idiot didn't you heare about this? You want to be a detective and you don't know thong like that."- said Kogoro.

The news started.

"Last night the Beika Police cought a crime organization, that is called the Black Organization. They caught many people, but some of them are missing. Actually two. There nicknames are: Gin and Vodka. If you see one of those people on these pictures just call the police. Thank you. For you was talking Ayako Nakamura."- the speaker said.

"Dad, did you hear of them before?- asked Ran.

"No I didn't. I heard of them from inspector Megure."

"Is this true? Are they all really in jail? But wait..... Gin and Vodka are still free and they are in Beika!"- thinked Conan.

"O! It's late. I must be going now. It's allmoust 2:00 PM."- Ran walked to the door.

"Ran-neechan, maybe you stay home today? This criminal on TV may be danger."- said Conan hopefuly.

"Don't be silly Conan. They could be miles away from Tokyo now. I'm going. Bye you to!"- she closed the door behind her.

"Ran, don't get yourself in any trouble..."- thought Conan.

Ran and Sonoko were going trought the streets of Beika. They were talking about the film they saw before yesturday. The film called "Ghost Ship". They really enjoyed it. They were so absorbed, they didn't notice when they reached Beika Docks.

"Ran we've got to fathear."- said Sonoko.

"You're right Sonoko. Let's go back."

"Wait Ran! You see those two men in black?"

"Yes, what's wrong with them?"

"I wathed the news today. They are the same as in those photos on TV!"

"You're right Sonoko! They are Gin and Vodka!"

"So what shell we do now?"

"I don't know...... maybe you call the police and I'll follow them."

"Ran! Are you an idiot!? Something could happen to you!"

"Don't worry Sonoko, I'll be fine..- she said and ran after two men in black.

Sonoko was almoust crying. She took her phone and dialed the police number.

Ran hide behind the building and decided to watch those strange men. They were talking about something.

"Gin do you think they will cought us?"- said the fater one.

"Don't be silly. They don't know where we are hidding.- said the taller one.

"Allright, but that detective could now.."- said Vodka.

"What detective!?"

"You know, taht one we tried to kill over a year ago."

"Vodka, he is dead."

"O! Don't you remember. We gave him the wrong pill."

"Sorry, yeah I remember. That was APTX. He didn't die, but he turned into a 7 year old kid! Yeah, I remember him well."

"Vermouth noticed that he uses a fake name."

"Vodka, you fool. What will you do if you'll turn into a kid. Will you use you're reall name?"

"I wouldn't."

"And what name is he using?"

"I guess the name is Conan Edogawa."

"Conan Edogawa...... could it be true?"- Ran thinked.

"Strange name Vodka. That damn Kudo!"- Gin looked very angry.

"So it really is true.... Conan Edogawa is Shinichi Kudo..... No! It has to be a nightmare! I have to get out of this place!"- Ran start to walking away, but inadvertently she falled down some can.

"Gin, did you hear this?"

"Yeah. I think we've got some guests."

Vodka runed to the place ran was standing white like a site of paper.

"Hallo miss. I wonder how much you had heard."- said Vodka with a strange smile across his face.

"A lot!"- she almoust screamed. She wanted to run from here.

Gin walked neare to them.

"So young lady, what is your name?"- asked Gin also with a strange smile like on Vodka's face.

"It's not youre buisness!"- Ran said.

She was walking backword to them. Then she turned around and wanted to run away, but Vodka grabed her arm thightly.

"Let me go!"- she screamed.

"I know who you are missy. You are Ran Mouri, Kogoro's doughter and Kudo's close friend."- Gin started to laugh.

"Can we let her go Gin?"- asked Vodka with his strange smile.

"No we can't."- said Gin pulling his gun out and pressing it to Ran's head.They were ready to kill her, but someone screamed.

"Police! You are soraunded!"

Ran use the time of shok on Vodkas face and she hit him hard at his stomache. He almoust fell down, full of pain. Ran kicked the gun that Gin was holding and it fall down on the ground.

In one moment they arrested two criminals and drived them to jale. Ran and Sonoko were droved to Baker street. When they get out of the car. Sonoko said.

"Ran! You could kill yourself! It was really dengerous! Ran! Are you listening to me!? Ran!"

"Sorry Sonoko. I must go now."- Ran turned around and walked slowly away. She didn't here Sonoko screaming loud.

"Ran! Where are you going!? You live overthere! Ran! You're going the wrong way! Ran!"- she screamed loud.

Ran was walking around Beika and thinking, real hard thinking.

"This is really thruth.... Conan is really Shinichi.... Why he didn't tell me before? Why? I was worried to death about him! He lived with me over an year..... he was part of my life and my familly, he was my younger brother. When I asked him is he realy Shinichi, he said, no. He lied to me for a long time.... I can't get back home. Not now. I can't face the liar, no I can't. Where I could go...... To Sonoko, no she wont understand my feelings. Maybe......maybe to profesor Agasa. I'm sure he knows that Conan is realy Shinichi. Yes, I'll go to him..."- her eyes were full of tears.

Ran walked trought the streets. To profesors house. Will he understand her? Will he tell her whole truth? She didn't know.
