TRUE STORY
Chapter One. One day I'll...
The sun was long set and the moon high when little, something around 7 years old, appoarched
almoust single standing house. Trying to be as quaiet as it was possible walked inside. Though
her tries weren't really succesful after she oppened door leading to the saloon. Although it was
dark she could see someone sitting on the couch and suddenly, before her eyes could get used
to the darkness the light was switched on revealing the person, which was her mother, by the
name of Eri Mori, who looked...to put it in really light way really mad. "Ran! How often I've to say
that you should come home early..?" The girl automacily frowned knowing what was awaiting her,
hanging her head lightly and looking at the ground she said qualitely "I'm sorry mum, but Shinichi..
...it was so much fun that we forgot what time was it and..." though her explanation were cut by
still angry Eri "Shinichi, Shinichi, Shinichi...by every single time it's always this boy! Do you know
how worried I was?!" Ran looked sadly as she dared to lift her head and meet her mother's gaze
"I'm really sorry, mum. I promise this won't happen again." Such explanations would be probably never
ending, if they both didn't hear door, which were oppened and closed at the same time and the tired
voice of, technicly, young man; who looked worried. Seeing though his daughter, who was safe and in home
he let a breathe of relief "And here she is..." Eri looked automacily behind her daughter and smiled lightly
"Kogoro? Yes, she's home." looking back at Ran she added "It's OK, but don't be late again." Reciving
small nod from the child, which showed that it understood her gaze softned a bit. But...do you really
think that it'd be enough of talking from parents?...if yes then you really don't know how it is.
When one of them ends, the other one begins and in this case wasn't differently since her father wasn't
really happy that his little girls hangs out with a boy so late, looking even at the fact that both of them
were only seven year old kids, and so it has started "And let me gues, she was with that boy again?
Seriously, Yusaku should use hard hand to him at last!" This met agreement from his wife "Yeah, I told
Yukiko that she should talk with her son." after this she told their daughtr she should go to bed, what
Ran did. After this the talk still wasn't ended, well, it changed into Kogoro's ranting about children's
behaviour "Really, she should stay away from him." which was only 'disturbed' by his wife noding
"Sometimes I think that too, but we can't really forbid her to..." Kogoro didn't let her to finish
geting almoust angrier and this meant more stubboarn than he already was "And why not. We're her
parents after all." Eri again gave small and qick nod "You're right." she smiled lightly, what met
her husband's light smile "Then from now on she can't meet with him. It's decided and now." there he streached
a bit "It's late and we should go to bed." with this they turned off the light and went to their room closing
door behind them.
Dear readers, if you think that it was even a bit different by Shinichi, then...ah, you should read this by
yourselves:
In meantime young boy walked slowly to the middle big villa, which was his home as well as qualitely
as it's possible and when he was approching stairs, which leaded to the first floor and the same to his
room her heard the very angry voice, which belonged to his mother, Yukiko "And where do you think
you're going, young man?! You know how late it is?? Plus you make worries to others, Ran's mom
called me, in this age you should be more responsible and where were you?!" It was really hard to say
he was enthusiastic turning to face her angry gaze and replieing in bored voice "Sorry mum... but you know..
I'm back now and everything is fine, isn't it? By the way, ran is in her home, too.. so..." This made her even
more angry than before "And now you're talking with me as if nothing big has happened! Do you know how
we all were worried about you two?! Ran's dad called everywhere and even to Megure to ask whether he
didn't see you both anywhere!" seeing that her husband, Yusaku, was about to tell something, what probably
could explain night's trips of their son she looked angry at him, which was a sign he shouldn't even dare to
do this, which was conformed (sp?) with her words "No, Not this time!" Shinichi seemed to be even more
bored with her litany "Yeah, mum. I'm sorry to make you worried, but it was so much fun, you know.."
Yusaku, who was walking up to them sweetdroped/sweatdroped (I don't know which version is good but it's drop ')
and stoping walking when he appoarched her "Don't be so angry with him.." Yukiko looked at him with heavy sigh
"But it's sixth time in this week and it's already Thursday! It means every single evening." Yusaku looked at her
little irritative "Really? I've just recognized three or four days... " Shinichi, who wasn't listening them anymore
though //Yeah, at the other days mum wasn't so angry or I was snake in unnoticed..// Yukiko sighed giving
small nod " We can't let him get away with this this time. Eri phoned me and really asked me to do something
about him. It's not only not save for him but for Ran as well." Yusaku had to agree with this "But, what do you want to do..?"
then he looked at him thoughtfuly "I mean... there's nothing besides room arrest or so..." Hearing this the boy
woke up from his thoughts and looked desperatly at them "No! please not!" Yukiko grinned lightly at her husband
"You know that it's very good idea?" then hearing their son's protesting she looked at him seriously "Month of house arrest, this should learn you something plus NO Sherlock Holmes." This caused Shinichi to turn pale and behaving well, as
someone, who just got to know that he'll die in an hour and believe me, it's light form of what his reaction looked like.
Lets just say that he started very fast shaking his head being pale and at the same screaming "Nooo!! Thats unfair!!!
No, no, no, no!!!" His parents' sweatdropped and Yusaku tried to calm him down at least a bit "Hey!! now, calm down!
And then go to bed..! It's late already!" Yukiko though didn't care about their son's reacting "Unfair is what you're doing
every sinmgle evening, Shinichi and now go sleep!!" by this she pointed at the door, which belonged to his room "Ah and
one more thing: YES!!!" Shinichi reaplied big mouthed "Someday I'll care of justice!!" with this ran upstairs and shut
loudly door behind him.
Yusaku sighed "Poor boy." and at the same time though //Poor boy// Yukiko only sighed heavily
wondering "I wonder after whom he's got this." with this she squinted to Yusaku thinking //For sure not after me// Yusaku
though recognised that look "Hey, why are you looking at me?" with this sweatdropped when the though hit him //It's
probably because he's got it after me." Though his wife only grinned "Well, he surely he doesn't have it after me..'mr.
detective'." Yusaku smiled lightly at this and suddenly his gaze fell on the wall clock " Really? Well, I guess we should
go to bed, it's late already." And the fact that he wanted to divert it from the topic was small not meaning case. Yukiko, though
knowing him only grinned "Wanting to change the topic?" she asked with rased eyebrow. Yusaku grinned back hearing
such question "Huh...? are you sure..? And.. what if you're right..?" He got in return the reply "then I'd say that you're not
really good in it." Which caused his reaction in sweatdroping and reply "But... it was a try worth..." She had to smile lightly
hearing this saying somewhat proudly "It was... and with someone else would it work out but not with me." He had to grin
lightly at this "You say so...? No wonder that you see through me, you as a perfect actor and housewife..." Yukiko had to
blush unknowingly hearing this "But you're as always charming.." then she looked at him more irretitive "Is there something
that I don't know about?" He though longer while "No, I don't think so... why do you ask...?" Yukiko only shruged "Because
it's first time since half year when you tell me this and last time you've bought him a dog without agreeing this with me..." He
had to grin back remembering that situation "Ah... this... no, this time it's nothing, really... " With this they turned off the light
and went upstairs soon enough dissapearing in their room. Though what they didn't know and didn't either Ran's parents was
the fact that their kids were far from sleeping in their rooms. They were...
