A./N.: Well, this is just some short little thing that jumped on me during Maths. ^^
Umm, so, this takes place somewhere in the distant future. Kaito and Conan are immortal, due to Pandora and APTX 4869.
Enjoy~! :D And review, please! :D
What lives must die. Old things must make room for new. And I can´t help but wonder why we´re still alive, even though we have seen people being given birth, seen them age, and, eventually, die? Over, and over, and over?
But at least I´ve got you, my dear rival. I don´t know what I´d do without you, the only thing in this life thar stays the same.
You´ve always been chasing me, and always will. For all eternity, I will run and you will follow the clues I cannot hide.
We haven´t got anything else left, after all. Nothing, and no one. Everyone we once loved died. The last one who died was that blonde scientist, she enough sleeping pills to kill a fully grown elephant with, some time after the arrest of that long-haired bastard, didn´t she?
Sometimes I wonder why we didn´t follow her to the other side. But then I remember those words you once told me, in one of those rare moments when we were speaking to each other not as rivals, but as equals. Friends.
You told me what one of the crows told you with his last breaths: "Chase us, Kudou Shin´ichi, chase us for all eternity."
I remember your bitter smile.
You hadn´t known that you would indeed have to chase them for all eternity when he told you that. You hadn´t known what "all eternity" meant. When you said those words,something in my head clicked. Back then I decided that I would help you. After all, forever is a long time, and I´m sure I´d have run out of hobbies after a while anyways.
We have been going after the crows for several decades now, haven´t we? Is that our fate, tantei- kun? To forever chase, and be chased?
But I´m not afraid anymore, you know?
The first twenty years or so were the worst though. Watching everyone age while we just stayed the same…
But it must´ve been worse for you, for being damned to forever be stuck in a child´s body is definitely worse than staying seventeen forever. For all eternity.
...review? :3
