Chapter 1:
"You know Edogawa Conan or should I say Kudo Shinichi, I'll kill your friends if you stop now." a deep voice said to a trembling-in-anger Conan as the two were in the safety of a dark alley.
Conan gritted his teeth as he turned away from the said person, "I know Shigane, I know already…so please, don't kill anyone else."
Shigane grinned at the child, "Good boy little Edogawa, now I have another mission for you, it'll be short so don't worry I know your dear friend Hattori Heiji is here in Tokyo."
Shigane threw Conan a form who caught it easily and looked at it before tensing, "Are you serious Shigane! This is the head of the Temori Company! There's no way they'll let a child like me into their building!"
"You'll just have sneak in then little boy." Shigane shrugged, "Besides, the others are out of Japan right now."
Conan's teeth were hurting thanks to all of his gritting, "Fine, but I expect to be paid for this."
"Of course, even if I force you into this work I'll still have to pay you." Shigane scoffed.
"You better, I need to get something soon anyways." Conan sighed as he clenched his paper tightly, he had to kill another person, a detective killing, oh the irony for this sick fate.
"Ah yes, the tanned detective's birthday is coming up if I'm correct." Shigane mused.
"Yeah." Conan said flatly and started to leave.
Shigane chuckled, "Such a feisty attitude you got there, the very reason I like you, I want to break you down."
Conan said nothing and continued down and out of the alley. Shigane chuckled before dialing a number and said darkly to the person on the other side, "Little boy decided to be feisty again, if he doesn't kill the victim right, let's play with his friends eh?"
Conan was trembling once again in anger, how long until he was free from this nightmare was a thought that no longer existed in his mind but it was desperately trying to come out again.
"I'll protect them." he whispered to himself, "I have to."
As Conan left the place he was at, Fate decided to hate him and Conan bumped into Heiji.
"Oi! Kudou! Why are ya here?" Heiji asked before glancing between the alley and the kid before making his face a serious expression, leaned down and whispered, "Ya ain't doin' drugs down 'ere are ya?"
Conan swatted at Heiji's face making Heiji bring his head back up, "Of course not Hattori, who do you take me for?"
Heiji grinned good naturedly, "Ya ya, the day ya do drugs Kudo is the day ya murder eh?"
Conan grumbled under his breath, "I already have idiot."
Heiji didn't here that and just continued to pick on the small child. The two went over to a store and bought ice-cream which Heiji digged into right away.
"You're eating too fast Hattori, slow down or you'll get a brain freeze, that isn't good for a detective, especially if you want to beat me." Conan said smugly as he took his time while Heiji was gripping his head from a brain-freeze.
"A-A littl' too late for tha' Kudo." Heiji groaned.
Conan smiled at the scene but reminded himself he had to ditch the guy soon to kill his unfortunate victim.
