My second Fanfic!! This plot came to me a loooooooooooong time ago.... I just haven't had the time to type it up.

I do know Japanese very well, but I try not to use it as much as I can out of respect for those that don't know the language.

Enjoy!


He clicked his IC Recorder on. "March 28, 199X. 5:23 PM. Miwa, Kouhei. Age 23. Termination confirmed."

The crowd was gathering around the corpse laying on the street nearby, covered in blood. Yuu Sakamoto stuffed his recorder back in his pocket. He smiled to himself; Yuu was a professional. He had proven himself greater than anyone had imagined. The police sirens were nearing, but he had no intention of hiding. That was his way, the way he had been raised for ten years since his parents passed away when he was seven. Yuu had not even tried to stay out of sight when firing his Walther PPK, his weapon of choice. In fact, Yuu preferred to be out in plain sight, to have a witness. This guaranteed two things: that the world would know the murder was done by the same sniper, and that the police would be all over the case. He had been given strict instructions by his teacher that he had two main goals: Number One- Eliminate the target. Number Two- make himself known as a number one class, high school sniper.

Yuu's teacher, the one he called "Senpai" (Often used to address someone of greater knowledge, talent, experience, ability, etc. than yourself.) Senpai had started training him since Yuu started living with him as his younger brother. Senpai was older than him by ten years, but was considered to be a genius by the people the two of them worked for. But Senpai immediately acknowledged Yuu as a greater prodigy than himself. Not only by fighting skills, but deductive reasoning, intellect, mathematical skills, learning ability... The list would go on. Senpai had created Yuu's instruction program according to his personality. He had instructed Yuu to draw attention to himself, and to watch the authorities carefully. This was what fit Yuu best, Senpai thought. And he was right.


Today, Yuu had positioned himself on the roof of a department store. Many department stores in Japan had a mini amusement park on top, and today, being a Sunday, it was a lot more crowded than usual. He shot as soon as someone had taken notice of him peering down at the streets. He refused to use a silencer so that people would hear the gunshot. Once he saw the man fall, blood coming from the back of his neck, Yuu had fled down the flight of stairs.

The pedestrians were shouting things about a man being dead. Yuu knew that he had succeeded in his third mission this month. He hung around for a little while longer. A few parents accompanying their children came down from the department store rooftop. Police officers began questioning people for witnesses. Yuu listened as the parents told the police about the gunshot, how they heard the commotion from below, and how they came down to investigate. As they described the assassin, Inspector Megure commented how similar the report was to the past cases during the last month.

Yuu narrowed his eyes at the man following the head of the Homicide Department. He was the one that people called the "Sleeping Kogoro", the one he had been warned of the most. But what concerned Yuu was not the famous detective, but the boy with the glasses that always trailed after the man. Yuu marveled at how similar he looked to himself at that age. But nobody had warned him about the little first grader know as Conan Edogawa. Yuu knew from observing the child at his crime scenes, and by instinct that this was not the ordinary seven year old. He was much too sharp, his reasoning skills were way beyond elementary school level, and new much more about physics, biology, mathematics, history, and countless other subjects than even a middle schooler would. Yuu turned and headed home.


The people who had taken Yuu in after the accident ten years ago had become his family. They didn't have the same affection Yuu had felt with his parents, but they let him be independent. Yes, he had lived his entire life since that day under tight security and close surveillance. Not by the authorities, but by the ones who his new family worked with. But he was pretty much free to do just about anything a normal teenager wouldn't be allowed to. And now, as a high schooler, he was their greatest fighter and killer. They had put him through thorough training, teaching him how to best deceive the authorities according to the situation, how to negotiate with his contacts, and how to resist torture and truth serum, in case he ever got caught.

Once Yuu had turned 16, he was allowed to live in his own small apartment by himself. The apartment building was small, and its few inhabitants rarely set foot outside. The group that he worked for still watched him constantly, and he had to report to them every three hours.

Yuu stepped inside his apartment. He stopped at the kitchen to grab himself a snack, and proceeded to his bedroom. Yuu sat down at his desk and turned on his PC. He swiveled his chair to the left, facing his large metal file cabinet. He pulled open the top drawer. Inside were files of his contacts, the police, and any other people he had any association with. He fingered through the tabs, organized by alphabetical order, until he found the manila folder labeled "Miwa, Kouhei". Yuu reached for the red stamp on his desk, and pressed firmly at the top of the first page containing Miwa's basic profile information. After filling the top margin with the red ink reading "TERMINATED", Yuu put the file back and locked the metal box. He kept his keys to almost everything that he owned that could be locked with him at all times on a chain he put around his neck.

He turned back to his computer and logged in. While waiting for his account to load, he went and put away his gun in his large case along with a wide collection of other firearms in his large, walk- in closet. Yuu sat back down. It was time to do some research on the mysterious boy. The boy who resembled him enough to be mistaken for a brother. The one who would change his life forever.


How was it?? Please review!
