|Chapter 1: He Disappeared as Thin as the Air was, but Found|

[JANE'S POV]

It was getting late, the sun is setting slowly hiding behind the mountains, Naoko and the others whom I just met today were searching for their companion who disappeared to thin air and his name was…

"Conan!" Genta yelled with worried look on his face

"Oi! Conan-kun!" Mitsuhiko followed also having the same expression

"C-Conan-k-kun!" Ayumi yelped while her eyes started to wonder

They caught my attention; I went near them

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" I asked, though I already knew that something did happen, but if I recall correctly the boy that they kept calling few seconds ago was the kid with a large, black-framed glasses which were too big for him, and he was also the kid who saved me earlier when my uncle's dead body came out of nowhere and flew right into my direction if he hadn't save me back then I might have been hospitalized from the impact of my Uncle Mike's dead body hitting me hard down to the ground, I thought to myself since I'm quite a forgetful person!

"It's Conan-kun! He-" Ayumi faced me treid to tell me something while sobbing, but the other girl called Haibara Ai interrupted her,

"He just went to the woods, with a strange look on his face as if his seen a ghost or something…" she trailed off as Genta butted in to the conversation,

"We thought that he might have seen something strange, then we decided to follow him until-" he also was interrupted by the other skinny boy Mitsuhiko,

"He disappeared!"

"He…What?! H-how?!" I froze as I heard the news,

"We'll explain later! And quit dilly-dallying and help us look for him!" Megure-keibu yelled at me with a horrible look on his face,

Even if he didn't tell me I would have looked for him if they informed about that earlier! And I didn't quite notice myself mumble, "Why didn't you tell me sooner!" 'Great! Just GREAT! Didn't he know that this woods are dangerous especially when the-' I thought to myself as I looked around, but the girl who had a strange brown hair color and strange yellow-blue eyes named Nanami Naoko caught my attention, and so did the other's,

"This is bad we have to find Edogawa-kun pronto!" she yelled, as the other's drew a confused look on their faces,

"What do yo-" the Inspector was about to asked but he was interrupted,

"If the sun sets and if we couldn't find him before or soon enough the sun sets, and if we don't make it in time! He might be eaten by the savage wolves that live deep in the forest! Geez… why didn't you tell me that he that he ran into the forest sooner!" she said angrily,

"EHH?!" everyone froze to this, excluding me of course who knew from the start,

I quickly ran to my room took my flashlight from the drawer of my desk and dashed to the forest without even asking which way he headed, as I ran deeper to the woods then I stopped for a second as I hardly try to catch my breath from the running then I realized that I was lost myself since I ran through the woods absent-mindedly, then I heard a growl that made me froze then I turned to the direction from where it came, then point the flashlight at it and I saw the creature that the people from this village always fears of a wolf! As the light, lit up the face of the wolf that made it clear as I saw it growling and drooling as it stared at me, 'Great! Just GREAT! First the boy's lost! Second I ran in this stupid forest absent-mindedly without even knowing where I was headed! I got lost in a middle of nowhere! And now I just bumped into a hungry and angry wolf, which makes me as its prey!' I panicked inside my mind in order to not to startle the wolf again and attack me, 'calm down, girl, if you just keep panicking this won't get you anywhere! Think calmly… think of a way out of this situation…' I said to myself as I think heavily as my sweat dropped slowly then, I remembered about that kid, about Conan, about what he said earlier about the wolves when he helped one earlier which was injured,

(…Flashback…)

"Kill it!" the man shouted as he saw a wolf came out of the forest out of blue, he ran into the wolf but it was injured, and the wolf just laid down beside him growling as took a knife out of his pocket, and stared at the wolf nervously and shut his eyes tightly then tried to stab it which made it grow fierce and growled at him,

"Stop!" a voice from the kid who wore big-framed glasses and ran next to the wolf, as the man halt and saw Conan running to him, he ran to the opposite direction away from the wolf, the wolf growled at the boy as he approached it, he tried to stretch hi tiny hand to the wolf forehead as it lay down and grew fierce and growled and the boy again making the boy stop his motion then continued it while saying,

"Yosh…yosh… it's okay, I won't hurt you… calm down…" the boy had a gentle expression and slowly patted the wolf by the forehead and it calm down as it saw the boy's sad eyes and gentle caring expression, then it started to purr at the boy as if it just accepted the invitation given by the boy, then the Conan kid held out two towels, scissors, and his tumbler out of his camping bag, but even though he took out the three items in front of the wolf without blocking them the wolf didn't react to it at all and yet it let the boy do his thing, then the boy halt and it seemed like he forgot something he then face to us,

"Nee, Ran-neechan, could you please let me borrow the bowl that we brought with us?" he asked the girl who had a thorn of her hair at first she froze to this but the boy signaled her using his hand like a please sign and had a pleading look on his face which left the girl he called Ran left with no choice she sigh then took out the bowl out of their luggage and walked slowly to the boy and handed him the bowl she turned around and said in a cheery tone,

"If you get killed by that wolf, it's not my fault!" she wasn't honest when she said this because she had a worried look on her face hiding it from him, but according to his expression probably he know that she was worried, then he sighed and said,

"hai..hai… I know…" only in a low tone, then he knelt at the side of the injured wolf and starts with his tumbler and poured all of the water it contained to the bowl he dipped the towel to the water then squeezed it and started to wipe the blood off of the wolf's injured left foot then he cut the other towel in a zigzag formation and started wrapping it around it's foot after he finished he stood up and the wolf do the same, but started to loose it's balance I tried to catch it for him but he got ahead of me,

"Whoops! Slow down… take it easy…" as the wolf regains its balance and started to walk straight, it purred at the boy again and they boy pet it in return wearing a cheerful smile on his face as if he was glad to see that he helped the helpless creature, according to his face he seemed to be pleased of what he did and smiled at it,

"Good… now go back to your home…" he said cheerfully as he made an eye to eye contact with it and it seemed to understand him and it walked away,

"Why did you-" I tried to ask him but he immediately interrupted me,

"I just can't stand it… watching a helpless wolf die before my eyes and even if that wolf is a nasty creature, but if you look at it straight to its eye and ones it notice that you don't mean have any threat to it then it will calm down and let you do what you want to do… and no matter how it looks like a monster to the others still they don't the right to kill it, or someone as if they were gods or something like that, and this wolf never even mean any harm to us, so I couldn't just leave it alone," while he was talking his words somehow pierced my heart with a bow, then I notice that he was hiding something because when he said something about 'as if they were gods or something like that' I saw his tiny fist clenched hard as if he was just regretting something but his words were too mature for him for a kid that looked like probably seven or eight years old,

"What has gotten into him?" I accidentally slip it from my mouth since while we met back at the lodge he seemed gloomy about the trip and didn't even quite enjoy it and even when we were hiking,

"He has been like that since last night…" the voice of that Ran girl startled me and noticed that she actually heard me,

"Ehh?" I didn't know what to say…

"He read a book till late last night which probably hit him hard…" she answered,

"Hmm…" still I didn't know what to say at all I was totally speechless, "Umm, How old is he? And who in the world is he?" I asked, he seemed to hear our conversation, but ignored it completely as he sighed, a bigger one than before though,

"He is still seven years old he is now currently studying at Teitan Elementary School, he is still at first-grader, his name is Edogawa Conan, he is also a member of the group that he and his close friends call 'Detective Boys/ Detective Junior League'" Ran said seemed to whisper to me probably she was just worried about her little bro-, no she is probably just worried about him because she seems to glance at him a lot with a worried look while she was whispering everything to me about him, but what caught my attention the most was the thing she said about the group called 'Detective Boys/ Detective Junior League' or something like that,

(… End of Flashback…)

Before I could think much deeper to my memory, I was distracted of the thought of Conan about him disappearing, and notice that the wolf just stared at me but it was glaring and growling at me, now that I remembered about the boy's advice, I the flashlight off of its sight turned it off, then slowly stretched out my hand to its forehead like the way that Conan did then looked at it straight to its glowing eyes as the sun set, and the only that echoed through my mind now was, 'I need your help, if you don't mind, I'm looking for my friend… he also helped one of your kind, please he is a boy a good, gentle and a caring one, please help me find him he is lost now and needs help, probably he fainted somewhere and now is lying unconscious somewhere out there alone in tha dark and probably freezing, and if a different beast might find him and without knowing who he is and how fragile he could be, please…' it repeated many times in mind and I failed to notice that my eyes were getting watery all of a sudden, when I was about to give up hope and shut my eyes tightly thinking that it was useless,

But somehow it worked, the wolf have accepted my plead since it moved forward and let me touch it's forehead and I petted it, I didn't actually know why, then I remembered about the handkerchief that the boy gave me earlier since I injured my knee, I looked at the wolf's eyes again now, the tears started to run down my cheeks, then handed out the handkerchief…

The wolf stared at it for a while smelled it, then it moved backwards then started to walk away slowly, then looked back at me then I followed it trusting my instinct then it now ran a little faster as I follow it then I also copied its motion then he stopped a while at one spot but I couldn't spot him, then I tried to walk pass it, but it stopped me by blocking it's body on my way then it looked down then I figured it out that kid fell to an unexpected cliff! Or maybe pushed by someone or worse… as I think about it I slowly crawled toward the end of the cliff look deep down but I couldn't a thing it was pitched black I cursed the sun for setting so soon, then I immediately held out my flashlight out of my pocket and let it gleam all the way down to the very bottom of the cliff then I saw a familiar figure below, which made me froze in horror,

"E-Edogawa Conan! Hang in there I'll come down now…."'just wait… hang in there…' I then held out my phone from my jeans back pocket then I hurriedly dialed the phone number of that Haibara kid just gave earlier this morning, I waited and panicking in my mind, 'please…please pick it up! Please hurry…!" I waited it rang once… now twice… on the third chime, it went through the line connection,

"Moshi-mushi?" the girl said in a cold and in hurry tone,

"I-I f-found him!" I finally said nervously…

|End of Chapter one|

Stay tune for the next chapter….

"Who? And… do I know you?" Everyone froze to this and didn't know what to do at first but came to their conclusion…
