In a Cycle Mei Neko

Act One: The Case

Shuichi muttered softly as he heard the phone ring. Yuki had just kicked him out of the office and he had finally felt his mood lighten when the phone rang.

"Hiro, if you're calling from your date, I'm going to kill you." He muttered as he picked up the phone. "Moshi moshi! This is Yuki residence!"

"Ano.is Shindo Shuichi in?" a child like voice asked. Shuichi blinked. Who would be calling him with that kind of voice?

"Hai. This is he! Demo.who are you?" Shuichi asked curiously. There was a pause.

"It's me, Shu-chan. It's Kudo Shinshi."

"NANI? Matte.your mom just told me this. So it's now Conan?"

"Hai. Demo, I'm not calling you for a chat. I need your help."

"Huh? What do you need help with?"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*

Shuichi groaned for the tenth time. He briefly wondered what possessed him to go to a trip with his suddenly shrunken cousin. He also wondered how the hell he had his lover, band, manager, and boss with him. Then he remembered. He had agreed to his cousin to accept an invitation to a rich yet secluded palace. Conan had explained as much as he could about his new case. So he had talked to K and Sakano about it. K, however, had other ideas about the situation. He called the host of the little gathering and managed to convince the host to take in a few more people. By a few more people, he meant himself, Sakano, Sugeru, Hiro, and Yuki. Yuki was not fond at the idea of being forced to the trip. Then Seguichi Touma found out that Yuki was going on a trip with Shuichi, he invited himself along for the ride. Shuchi glared at the blond manager for this mess.

"Shu-chan!"

Everyone turned to see a tall female teen with long brown hair that was let down. Shuichi looked at her with confusion until his eyes widen in shock.

"RAN?! Jeez! You've really grown! Last time I saw you, I was still taller then you!" Shuichi said. However the girl kept running. Shuichi blinked as he was tackled to the ground. Yuki felt his eyebrow twitch to see his young lover on the ground with a girl.

"SHU-CHAN!!! It's been over a year! Just where the hell could he be?" Ran demanded as she began to shake the shoulders of the shorter form beneath her. Shuichi swore he could see stars when the shaking finally stopped. Then he shook his head to clear up his vision. He saw the concerned eyes of Ran and grinned.

"So you two did hitch up! You know, I thought I would have to kill that kid just to make him see the light. Anyway, he didn't tell me where the hell he was. Last time I talked with him was last week. He told me to accept the invitation for him. So what is going on?" Shuichi asked as he picked up his forgotten bags.

"We received an invitation as well. Did Shinichi mention about the case that it was involved with?"

"Hai. I got all the info that I need. More than I want to know." Shuichi muttered.

"Ah.Kaito Kid was involved with it until Father found the missing item that he stole." Ran began explaining. The forgotten group that was with Shuichi stared while Yuki glared at Ran and then turned his glare at Hiro. Hiro raised an eyebrow at that.

"Hey.don't look at me like that. I've only known Shuichi since high school. He only mentioned the name Shinichi once." Hiro replied to the silent question.

"I know of a Shinichi. Kudo Shinichi, one of the youngest and most brilliant detectives in Eastern Japan that I heard of." K said thoughtfully. "I've also heard that there was a younger detective then him. However there were no records that the person even exists."

"It seems like our dear Shindo-san has more secrets then we thought he has." Touma said smiling as he tried to figure out what was going on.

"Ran-onnechan!"

The entire group turned to see a boy of eight running towards them. He was wearing a cute blue jacket and red bow tie. He also was wearing large framed glasses. Ran turned and smiled at the little boy. Then she picked him and pushed the smaller body towards Shuichi. Shuichi looked at the boy curiously and the boy did the same.

"Ne.aren't you Shindo Shuichi? The lead singer of Bad Luck?" the boy asked innocently. Shuichi smirked at bit at that.

"Aren't you that annoying kid that Shinichi keeps telling me about? The one that took a bath with Ran?" Shuichi said as he put the boy down. The kid scowled at him. "Ne.Yuki, here's a mini version of your brother. Just about a pervert like him."

"Ah! Shu-chan! Don't say such things? He's only eight! This is Conan. And what did Shinichi say about Conan?" Ran asked scowling. Shuichi laughed nervously at that.

"Nothing. Auntie told me about that little incident. Anyway, it's not like you haven't bathe with a guy. Didn't you bathe with Shinichi when you were little?" Shuichi teased. Ran blushed before she smiled and then her arm shot out and punch a hole in a tree that was next to Shuichi. Shuichi whimpered as he saw how much damaged the tree took. The others gaped at the tall teen who had caused so much damaged. "Everyone.this is Mori Ran. She happens to be a Karate master freak. She also happens to be my cousin's semi-girlfriend."

"She's kinda like K." Sugeru muttered while Hiro nodded in agreement.

"And the little brat here is Edogawa Conan. He's staying with Ran until his parents come home. Anyway, let's get going! I don't want to carry these things all day!" Shuichi said. The group kept on walking while Ran and Shuichi chatted.

"Ano.just to warn you." Ran began.

*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~**~*~*~*~~**~*~*~~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~~*~*~*~*~*~~**

"WAI!!! BAD LUCK!!!" three voices screamed. Shuichi blinked in surprised to see three kids about Conan's age running towards them. One was a skinny kid, the second was a fat kid, and the third was a cute little girl. All three had stars in their eyes.

"Wai! Ran-oneechan! I didn't know you knew Shindo Shuichi! The lead singer of Bad Luck!" the little girl gushed. Shuichi smiled as he patted the girl on the head. Then he turned Ran.

"Kids?" Shuichi asked raising an eyebrow.

"Hohoho! I see you have changed! I use to remember when you were little with black hair. You usually dressed so nicely as well. How have things changed!" an old fat man with glasses asked with a smile. Shuichi grinned as he slapped the old man on the back.

"Dr. Agasa! It has been a long time! Still working on those gadgets of yours? Got a present for me?" Shuichi teased. Agasa laughed as he gave the singer an orange yo-yo. "Hey! I'm not a kid anymore!"

"I'll start giving you cash once you learn how to count. Anyway, how are your folks?"

"Heh.you know how mom is going all freaky about her nephew, now me? Well.I got disowned for a while. Anyway, Shinichi invited me here. So what the hell are you doing here?" Shuichi asked. He then noticed a butler. "Excuse me, could you take these bags and show my group their rooms? Ne Yuki? I want to talk with them for a while. Magami-san said to meet at the den at three; it's two o'clock right now. All of you should clean up a bit."

"Hai. That seems to be a good idea Shindo-san. Come now Eiri, let's relax a bit." Touma said coolly as he grabbed Yuki's arm and began to follow the butler. Hiro expected Shuichi to freak, but nothing happened.

"Thanks Touma! I'll see you all in a while!" Shuichi said as he walked away with the children.

Hiro looked at the others who were blinking in surprise.

"Doesn't anyone find it quite odd that Shuichi didn't freak out?" Hiro asked. No one disagreed.

*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Conan watched as everyone piled into the den. He was worried about what was going on. He found it odd that Kaito kid had stolen something, and that he was caught on video. Also the fact that the note was bothering him. Also the fact that the people who were invited were quite unusual. That was why he had called his cousin, Shuichi to help out.

There are only a few people who knew the truth about his cousin. Shindo Shuichi is the only one who had managed to capture the original Kaito thief. Also that Shuichi was one of the youngest detectives ever in Japan. However, there was no proof that Shuichi even exist in the police reports due to the help of Dr. Agasa. Conan found that one of the greatest mysteries of all time. Why did his cousin give up the business so suddenly? All records had been erased and any files that his cousin was in were either stolen or misplaced.

"Minna-san! It's time to start this meeting! I would like to introduce some special guests here! We have several celebrities here and I hope you all get along. Our most popular group would be Bad Luck! As well as Yuki Eiri and Seguchi Touma of Nittle Grasper! I'm sure all of you know the band. Then we have Mouri Kogorou, the hottest detective in the East as of now. As for the hottest detective of the west, Hattori Heiji with his lovely companion, Toyama Kazuha. Also, we have the new young movie star Neko Mei." Magami Sato said smiling at all of his guests. Conan looked around to see that there was more than that.

There were three other men as well. One was tall and thin with a rather thin mustache. His hair was gray and he was wearing a navy business suit. It was the infamous Hino Seiji, a science fiction writer.

The next man looked about fifty with a Hawaiian printed shirt and slacks. He also had on some sunglasses. This was the American actor Jonathan Mills.

The very last man was shorter then the other two and yet had a young aura around him. He was wearing a red polo shirt and black pants. He gave a smile at Conan who smiled back. Conan looked over at his cousin to see that the singer was grinning like mad. He briefly wondered how his cousin worked on these cases.

"Now that the introductions have been made, let us go to the facts of this case, Detective?" Magami said as he looked over at Mouri for assistance. The tall man with the mustache gave a grin before he plastered a rather serious face.

"Last week, Kaito kid had broken into a National museum in Tokyo. However, nothing was stolen since I had uncovered the clues to his next heist. Nothing was stolen, however recently he has given another note to us and we believe that it would be here." Mouri explained.

"This Kaito Kid is a theft.what does it have to do with us?" K asked frowning. Mouri glared at the man before he cleared his throat.

"Nothing at all."

The entire Bad Luck Company blinked before they glared at him.

"What do you mean? Then why the hell are we here?" Hiro demanded. Shuichi rolled his eyes.

"I was the only one who was supposed to be there to represent my cousin, Kudou Shinichi. You went along because of K." Shuichi muttered. Everyone ignored this.

"Anyway, as Mouri-san was saying, Kaito kid had left a note containing a list of certain people who should be able to help out in the clue to what he will attempt of steal next." Hattori said finishing off the explanation. The rest of the guest blinked as they looked at each other. How could they be the clues onto the next robbery?

"How is that possible?" Hino asked frowning.

"As of now, we have you all gathered and we will be observing you until farther notice. Right now, let us just relax for the day and figure out later on." Hattori said cheerfully. Slowly they began to leave. However Neko gave a cry as she jumped Shuichi.

"WAI!! I always wanted to meet you in person Shindo-san! But my work always gets to me!" Neko said grinning. Shuichi gave a chuckle as he patted the girl on the head.

"The same goes for me. I love all of your movies so far! As well as that musical you did! You should have gone into the music business!" Shuichi said grinning. Then he turned to the others. "You guys want to do something? Since all we got to do is just hang here, let's take advantage with this wonderful palace!"

"Hai! I totally agree on you with that, Shu-chan!" Ran said smiling. Then she turned to Conan and the other children. "How about it? What do you kids want to do? We really shouldn't leave you wondering around such an expensive place."

"Ran-onnechan! I want to hang with Shuichi-onnisan!" Conan whined a bit as he hanged on to Shuichi's hand. The pink haired teen sighed as he gave a glare at the kid. Then he gave a smile at the others.

"How about I watch the kids while the rest of you explore? It'll be my birthday gift to you Ran!" Shuichi said grinning. Ran gave a grin while Hattori seemed a tad bit worried but Conan quickly gave him a sign that said it was okay.

"Honto? It would be nice to take a break from being a baby sitter.demo, what about your friends?" Ran asked. Shuichi gulped as he gave a smile at everyone else. He was very happy that Yuki could not stand kids.

"Why don't you show the others around? Besides I need to make a quick phone call." Shuichi said smiling while trying his best to ignore the looks he was getting from the others. Yuki was glaring at him.

"Okay! We'll meet you at dinner! You're always good with kids, Shu-chan!" Ran said cheerfully as she began to usher the others out. Conan tugged at Shuichi's clothes and nodded his head in a different direction. Shuichi quickly walked with Conan, trying his best to ignore the chilling feeling of his friends glaring at him. ***********************************************************************

Conan smirked at his cousin before the two managed to occupy the other kids and quickly let them to the next room with the door open so that they would be able to see what the three were doing. Then he turned to his cousin.

"You figured it out, right?" Conan asked frowning. Shuichi shrugged as he picked up the phone and quickly dialed a number. He waited for a few moments before he began to talk in it.

"Yo! Sis! What's up?"

Conan waited as Shuichi began to do small talk before finally getting to the point.

"I was just wondering if there was a letter to me from a guy name Magami.hm.I see.can you open it for me? How is it addresses? I see.thanks for the help there. I'll get you tickets for the next show and backstage passes, ja!"

Shuichi frowned as he hung up the phone. He turned to Conan.

"We got ourselves some work to do." Shuichi muttered as he sat down. Conan raised an eyebrow and sat down at another chair.

"Someone knows who you really are." Conan said as he frowned.

"Someone who is not Kaito Kid." Shuichi said looking up the ceiling.

"Both of us got letters."

"As well as a few others. I wouldn't be surprise if the whole thing is set up. I'm not sure if you noticed, but that note is copied." Shuichi said looking at his younger cousin. Conan gave a grin at that.

"Really, Shu-chan, don't think that I look younger that I don't know that." Conan said as he stretched a bit. Shuichi frowned as he thought some more. He looked around the room.

"Don't you think something is really weird? I mean about the fact on how easy it was for my manger to convince Magami-san to let me invite a whole bunch of people in an investigation. Also the fact that whoever set this up has unlimited connections?" Shuichi said pondering. Conan looked at his cousin carefully.

"What makes you think about that? Because this guy knows who you really are?" Conan asked quietly. Shuichi gave a grin at him.

"Maa! You're really sharp. This guy knows about my past, but he doesn't know about the me now. That means he or she was in a hurry to find my address. Two detectives that were invited to this gathering. Not to mention both are supposed to be missing." Shuichi muttered.

"Not to mention that we have an author, two movie stars, and who knows what else." Conan pointed out. Shuichi thought for a minute as he frowned. Then his eyes widen in horror.

"Shit.I don't think it's possible.demo.it might be that Bad Luck is part of the investigation as well! Shit! I need to make a few more phone calls." Shuichi whispered as he quickly picked up the phone. Conan frowned at this.

"Nani?"

"I know you don't pay much attention to the entertainment world, Shin, but if I'm correct, then we got a lot more to worry about. Moshi moshi? Ryuichi? Hai! I need to ask you something important! Ryu-chan! Did you get a letter that is from a guy name Magami? Ah.ah.okay! Thanks for helping!" with that, Shuichi disconnected the phone. Conan stared at him for a minute.

"Both Bad Luck and Nittle Grasper is also part of this. Two bands.even if there is only one person from Nittle Grasper. Both of them are similar to each other, only difference is the fact that one of them started earlier then the other." Conan muttered. Shuichi gave a nod at that. Conan turned to the other with a worried expression.

"Is it possible that Yuki-san has a letter as well?" Conan asked. Shuichi frowned and shook his head.

"I always check his mail for him. He didn't get a letter.but maybe." Shuichi said as he picked up the phone again. He crossed his fingers, hoping that the person would pick up the phone. "Moshi moshi? Tat-chan! Hai! I was wondering.did you get a letter for Yuki by someone name Magami? Ah.yeah.ah.okay! Thanks!"

"Yes?" Conan asked. Shuichi gave a nod at that. Conan frowned. "It looks like we have two of everything."

"What about that one short guy? I didn't recognize him." Shuichi said as he looked over to check the other three kids. Conan smirked at him.

"He's suppose to be Neko-san's bodyguard." Conan said letting his sentence fade as Shuichi's eyes glittered.

"I guess all we need to do is ask a few simple questions." Shuichi said smiling. *******************************************************************
