Disclaimer: I do not own Detective Conan.

So long as London is concerned, I can always remember a name that made me show my expression of admiration for years already. Even up to now, Sherlock Holmes still appears to me as a shadow reminding me of the tangled thread that I have to fix. It's full red, indicating blood, murder, revenge, and all sorts of mysteries involved in crime detection. But lately, another idea occurred to me. If I hadn't gotten so much into it, I probably wouldn't need to lie to her in the first place. I'm still Shinichi Kudo, her mystery freak who made a selfish attempt of asking her to wait despite seeing how miserable she felt afterwards. But if I didn't like Holmes and didn't want to prove what a detective can do in my own ways and thinking, can I still be the same guy in the same place I seem to own in her heart?

PS: I'm sure whoever fan of DC read this, he or she will think that again, it's about romance. I just wanted to try something new for a change. In example, why can't Shinichi for once try to be a thief? Another, what if before letting Ran know, Ran came to him and said that she already knew? What about it? If I begin working, I actually hope I'll still see reviews from you guys. TY
