For My Loving Readers:

For everyone that is glaring at me and is currently thinking, Man I love a good Shin-chan story, but god can't she just finish I'll Be There or Surprising Complications? This of this a not only a gift for a couple fans that asked me to continue this punny, but a start up fic. I don't feel like I'm writing on the level that I was last summer. Everyone please Enjoy this, I'm sure that anyone that has read my punnies will remember most of this chapter!

That and I really need a good reboot.

Your Always,

Shi-Chan

Abuse and Comfort

"Shinichi, I need to tell you! I love you!" She cried into the phone, only to be disappointed by the one she loyally loved all these years.

"I'm sorry, Ran, but I don't think I can return your feelings…" She could tell that he truly regretted telling her, considering her feelings, but she couldn't contain the rage that build up as he hung up, saying a quick good-bye.

Everyone has a dark side.

It's just in the manner that it's released.

Chapter One

It only takes one shattering of the mirror to set it off.

One broken heart,

To completely destroy any love that was once there…

Ran growled in frustration, Shinichi had just called her to break up with her, to tell her that he couldn't feel the same way as she felt about him! Conan had opened the door, muttering a "I'm home" weakly. She glared at him and marched up in front of him, causing him to look up at her. He cringed at the heated glare that she was giving her. He could never remember her ever looking at Conan like that. "Ran-nee-chan, what's wrong?" She felt fury rise up in her, What's wrong? What's wrong? As if he didn't know what was wrong! His precious Shinichi-Nii-chan just tore her heart to pieces and spit on it! That's what was wrong! It didn't help that the little brat looked just like Shinichi. She grinded her teeth together as she looked down at the little boy in disgust. She couldn't even stand really looking at him. The dark crawling feeling to hit him continued to rise in her as she raised her hand high in the air.

"I'm sorry, Ran"

Conan wasn't expecting Ran to actually slap him across the face, he cried out in surprise and looked up at her in shock. "I bet it's your fault! You've told him about everything haven't you! I bet you got a real laugh about it!" Conan's eyes widen as Ran hit him again, causing him to fly into the wall. "Why doesn't he love me! What did you tell him?" He had just managed to get on his hands and knees before she kicked him in the ribs. "I HATE YOU!" She punched and kicked him until he could barely move and was whimpering quietly. Where was Kogoro when you needed him? Why was she doing this? Tears ran down his face as she glared down at him, and then turned away, to go into the kitchen. He could hear the drawers rattling, as if she was digging for those sharp knifes, and felt fear prickle his skin.

What had he done to deserve this? Unless she found out the truth about him, but that was unlikely. He struggled to get up and moved to leave; he was to scared to find out what would happen if he'd stay. Even more afraid as more sounds came from the kitchen as he made it to the front door, doing his best to quietly leave. All he could think of was getting out of there and why. He just didn't understand.

He barely made it to a local alleyway, just feet away from the Kudou mansion. He felt so tired and he was in so much pain, he collapsed against the wall of the alley, looking out at the street crowded with chattering people. He fell asleep against the cold wall, that felt good against the bruises and cuts that Ran had given him.

KID wasn't expecting to trip over anything in the alley way as he made his escape from the raging Nakamori, who was miles behind him thanks to one of his many distraction tricks. He got up on his knees and looked to see what had tripped him. He blinked as he realized that it was Tantei-kun, who was sound asleep leaning against a trashcan. He couldn't see the small child clearly in the darkness of the alleyway, but he was curious as to why the child wasn't with his caretaker, Mouri-chan. "Tantei-kun, wakey, wakey!" KID said in most obnoxious happy tone voice. He listened as Tantei-kun groaned in pain at his light touches and frowned.

"No, please, don't…." Tantei-kun muttered as he moved away from KID's touches. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

KID took out a small light, and then noticed the large black and blue bruise that covered most of Tantei-kun's face. His eyes widen at the sight of the small boy.

"Who did this to you, Tantei-kun?" KID muttered as he carefully picked up the small child and carried him to his closest safe house.

He managed to treat Conan's wounds and minor bruises as best as he could. Who'd do this to such a small child? Well he knew that Conan wasn't actually a small child, but not that many normal people knew that. Who'd beat the hell out of Conan, and for what reason? Wasn't he everyone's favorite Mini detective? He waited for Tantei-kun to wake, wondering who'd do this. He watched as Conan slept contently on the makeshift bed. He was content with watching Conan for all of five minutes before getting bored, and slightly uncomfortable in the white tux. He got up and changed into something more comfortable, then sat down by Conan again. He got bored again with in three minutes and decided that laying down next to Conan wasn't such a bad idea, after all he did just have a long night of running away from angry officers and one annoying detective. Before he knew it, he was fast asleep, cuddling the unsuspecting Conan.

Conan felt warm as he opened his eyes and stared at the obnoxious green thing that was in front of him. He reached out an touched the green thing, to move away from it, grimacing from the pain it caused to move. Ran had really done a number on him yesterday, he blinked as he noticed that the green thing in front of him was not only warm but squishy and warm, slowly moving as if it was a chest raising and falling with each breathe. His eyes widen as he realized that some stranger was currently smothering him! He pushed as much as he could to get out of the stranger's arms, he seriously was hating himself as he struggled against the stranger's hold, but gave up in the end as the pain of struggling made him tired and sore.

Who ever this was, was so going to get a soccer ball to the face as soon as he could manage a decent kick. He glared at the green chest for several moments before looking up, trying to see the face of his captor. His eyes widened as he took in his own face, or at least it was similar to his, though there were slight differences, but those were hardly noticeable. He reached up and pinched the face, causing the man to grunt in his sleep and turn, still holding on to him. Conan glared down at the man as he now laid on is chest, this was so embarrassing, well, at least he could guess at who'd picked him up from the alleyway last night. "Aoko, please no more no more f-f-f-inny things!" the man suddenly yelled in his sleep causing Conan to raise an eyebrow.

"Oi, KID, wake up! OI! OI!" Conan yelled in the thief's ear, trying to get the other to wake up. He really didn't like the way the thief had started to cuddle him in his sleep. Not only was it kind of intimate, but painful against the bruises and cuts that Ran had given him. Conan looked over to the side where the hat that the thief had probably been wearing to keep his identity laid, and sighed fondly. The stupid thief must have been up late taking care of his sorry ass after the beating that he had gotten from Ran. He pushed up against KID's chest again, finally managing to sit up on KID's chest, and looked down at the sleeping thief. He smiled sadly as he crawled off of the thief and sat down next to him, looking around the room that he was in. He cringed at every movement, but soon adjusted to the pain. After all he was no stranger to pain after all the experiments with Haibara.

"Nuuu, The f-finny thing's gonna get me!" KID moaned in his sleep, then rolled onto his stomach, slightly twitching as if trying to get away from something horrible. Conan blinked.

"Finny thing?" Conan said out loud, then sighed. What was he supposed to do? It didn't feel right to leave, and it wasn't like he really had anywhere he needed to be. After all, Ran clearly hated him. He got up from the makeshift bed and went to the bathroom, leaving the thief alone in his dreams of evil finny things.

Kaito woke up to the smell of take out, after all it wasn't like this safe house contained any food that was any good anymore. It was rare that he had to use the Beika safe house after all; it was quite close to his home. He slightly wondered what he had been dreaming about, he yawned and stretched, and then panicked, Tantei-kun had called for take-out! Wait, wrong thing to panic about, Kaito! He thought as he got up, only to be greeted by the small child, who was sitting in the middle of the outer room, watching the news. "Oi, about time you woke up, it's almost eleven." Conan mentioned to him as he continued to eat his Chinese take-out.

Kaito blinked at the small detective, he looked around before sitting down next to the 'small child' and picking up a pair of chopsticks and dug into the food that was laid out.

"Uh…." Kaito tried to start, but was beaten to the punch by Conan.

"Ran did it. I have no clue why, and I don't care to go back there to find out." Conan ate a piece of sesame chicken as KID looked shocked that such a normally sweet girl could do that to her charge. "Thank you, by the way for patching me up."

"Tantei-kun…." KID said softly, "Wha-"

"Shinichi, You can call me that, after all it's not like we're at a heist." Shinichi said, "If that's to uncomfortable for you, you can call me Kudou." He didn't want to talk about it. He was hoping that the thief would get the silent message.

Kaito looked at Conan, no, Shinichi, who was acting as if it didn't hurt him that his best friend had beaten the shit out of him. He was confused by how Shinichi was acting, well, pretending at his best. It wasn't normal how the teen was acting. Normally one would be extremely depressed or angry that his best friend had beaten him, especially since said friend was currently acting the role of big sister towards him. This was driving him crazy! He ran a hand through his hair, messing it up further. "Since I'm guessing that's your actual face, do you want to tell me your name?" Shinichi smirked at him.

Kaito blinked at the sly detective, what was he playing at? "Hmm, what would you do with that information, Shi-ni-chi?" Kaito gave Shinichi a huge grin, making the small detective to smile fondly at him.

"Nothing, I've said this before, I don't care for petty thieves, there are bigger fish to catch."

Shinichi smirked as KID twitched at the word 'Fish', and made note of the weird Phobia, probably went deeper then the word.

Kaito eyed Shinichi before smiling brightly and making a rose appear in front of the detective. "Kuroba Kaito. How may I help the great Kudou Shinichi?"

Every step you take,

Is painful to someone.

Every careless word,

Could kill someone.

Every thoughtless act,

Causes another to suffer.

Kaito sighed as he looked down at his newest companion and silently wondered how he managed to get into this mess. Oh, right, he tripped over him. They were currently pulling off a perfect act of older brother/ little brother, as Cona- no Shinichi, walked next to him holding his hand as they walked closer to his house. He knew that Shinichi wouldn't call the police on him for being KID. Shinichi only went for the thrill of the chase and puzzles. In fact, the detective had told him that much this morning. After their initial introduction, Shinichi had completely stopped talking. Only nodded answers, as if he was puzzling something out, and well Kaito wasn't quite sure what to do.

So here he was walking up to his front door with his greatest rival to introduce to his mother.

He really needed to remember not to get involved with detectives. It was never a good thing for his health.
