KUDO SHINICHI DEAD!
This is the sight that welcomed Ran when she arrived home.
"R-Ran" her father stammered. You should go to your room now, you, too conan."
But ran just stayed there… at the door… staring at the fallen newspaper. Then she slowly looked at the man and the boy in fron of her. the man's (kogoro) eyes were full of worries and concern while she couldn't read the expression of the boy since his face was hidden by his bangs. Ran just walked past them and as she passed by the little boy sitting on the couch, someone behind that boy's eyes was following her.
Conan then jumped form the couch and followed her to her room.
He pulled her hand. She looked at him. He stared deep into her eyes.
There was no sign of a tear.
Her eyes were cold.
"what's the matter conan?" she asked. Conan was surprised because even her tone was monotonous. He felt a sudden sting in his heart.
"a-a. I-" he began.
Just then a a lightning bolt flashed. Illuminating the dark room they were in.
"i'm sorry" said the boy. The voice was very young, but… the tone was…
She knew that tone…
she and only she can distinguish that tone from others.
But that thought was blurry… it disappeared right away.
" ne…" she began.
"why are you apologizing?"
"I'm sorry."
The first drop of rain fell…
"ne conan-kun"
The boy looked at her…
"why am I not crying?" she kneeled in front of him. She looked deep into his eyes.
It's not the same cold eyes.
These eyes are desperate.
"Ran…" he lifted his face so that he can return her gaze.
"it's probably because he always makes me cry… I ran out of tears…"
Ran…
"or maybe… ne conan-kun… am I that cold-hearted that my tears froze up?"
Outside the rain fell heavily.
