Aquarium Switch

Chapter One:

The Case of the Exploded Man


The blood was everywhere, along the walls, and spattered almost artistically in the pavement. Human tissues almost imbedded along the cracks of the roads. Along the steps of the Mouri Detective's office was the lower half of a human body the black pants darken with blood. The rest of the body spattered along the walls and out into the streets. What was left of the lower intestine was slowly unraveled down the last two steps, almost as if the victim had just finished leaving the office.

This is what Mouri Ran had walked out to see at 6 o'clock in the morning.

It was the most gruesome scene she had ever witness, she swallowed the bale in the back of her throat. Tears leaking out of the corner of her eyes and dripping over the sides of her rounded cheeks, she moved backwards back into the apartment part of the office. Fear written all over her face as she turned to her father, she swallowed hard. "D-dad, I-I-it's everywhere!" She said in a horsed low voice, as if it was hard to get out. Mouri Kogoro looked up at his only child with a frown on his lips, "What's everywhere, Ran?"

He watched as she shook her head as if unable to speak, he got up as his daughter slide down the wall near the door. He heard her mutter "It's everywhere…" again and went out into the hall that lead to the steps. His eyes widen at the sight of the blood and body. He whipped out his cell phone and called his old partner, Inspector Megure.

By the time Megure had arrived at the scene, Kudou Shinichi was there standing almost distantly at the steps staring at the remains. "Kudou-kun, I'd say it's great to see you, but the only time I ever see you is at a murder scene." Shinichi gave the older man a weak smile, then frowned again as if in concentration. "Any idea about who this man is?"

"No, there is nothing left of him, if it is a he."

Megure nodded and went to see the scene for himself. He clenched his teeth together and narrowed his eyes. "Even I, have never seen anything like this." They were careful not to step on anything on the sidewalk as they both moved to get a more frontal view. Fellow police officers looked sicken as they took pictures and tried to gather the body as best as possible.

Shinichi was at a lost of what to say. This wasn't like any of his other cases, even as Conan, he had some sort of hint towards what exactly happened. "Umm, Inspector Megure-san, do you think…umm…he exploded from the inside…maybe?" Shinichi said almost unsure. Megure took a good look at the Kudou boy. The normally confendent boy was pale, not noticeablely shaking, but twichy as if he wanted to be anywhere but here. Which also was not like the high school detective.

"Kudou-kun, maybe you should head back home?" He watched the boy shake his head.

"Inspector, I'll be fine. I just need to make a quick call, okay?" He gave the boy a nod and watched him walk several feet away.


The sun was shining happily as birds chirped to each other, but to one Kuroba Kaito, it was mocking him. He was twitching in the seat next to his childhood friend Aoko, who was sending him concerned looks from the corner of her eye. "Really Kaito, if it's going to kill you; you don't have to go!" Kaito shook his head and remained seated in the bus with her. The bus that lead to that horrible place that contained those things! He was not going to admit defeat to a bunch of swimmy things. "N-no, I promised that I would go on the class trip, and I am going!" He gave a confident nod, making Aoko smile slightly.

"I-I can't have those things rule over everything I do! R-right?" Aoko was pretty sure that he was just trying to reassure himself, while blabbering about how not scared he was. She almost chuckled when he gave a slight squeak as the bus pulled out. She smiled at Hakuba as he turned to look at them with a frown. "It's okay!" She said leaning over to talk to the blonde teen as Kaito made friends with the window.

"Oh Baby I want yoooouuu…." Kaito almost blushed as his phone went off. He quickly picked it up as Aoko gave him a weird look. "Hello Shin-chan!" He said happily, then slowly turned to a frown when listening to the other talk on the phone. "Oi, calm down and tell me everything you see." He said in a stern voice that Aoko has never heard before. "um hmm…Seriously? Look it'll be okay, trust me." She watched as Kaito tensed up at Hakuba's watch.

Kaito gave the other teen a warning glare before returning to the conversation on the phone. "You knew that when we decided to do this that I'm cursed. Well, I've never ran into something like that either…was seriously only the bottom half left?" He nodded to himself, not even noticing Aoko's stare anymore as worry for his boyfriend took priority.

"No, we left about fifthteen minutes ago. Who am I sitting next too? Umm" He looked over at Aoko and smiled brightly. "My Best friend Aoko, and she doesn't look to happy right now. See I knew I could get you to laugh." He rolled his shoulders as the seat became uncomfortable from the combined glares of Aoko and Hakuba. "umm… Shin-chan, how about you call me in thirty minutes, and tell me more about it." He nodded once more to himself as he listened to the other boy on the phone blabber on. "Hmmm…did Megure just send you home?" Kaito rubbed the bridge of his nose, closed his eyes, leaning his head against the window. "Listen, I think he's right. Either go home or comfort Ran, I'll be back as soon as this trip's over… uh huh…just don't mess up the house okay?" He crossed his legs, "yes love you too. Don't worry about it. I think your going to be in more trouble then me. Yes. Yes. I'll see you then. BYE." He clicked the phone off in the middle of a complaint from the other end.

He turned and looked at the two that were staring at him. His smile twitched a little at their looks, Aoko's one of anger and Hakuba's humored one. "Umm…I can explain?" Aoko raised an eyebrow. "Really?" He nodded wildly, raising his hands. "If it makes you feel better, I can guarantee that he's completely traumatized!" That made Hakuba look interested. "Really? What kind of crime scene did Kaito run into dressed up as you, Kudou-san?"

"The victim is completely missing his top half, almost as if he exploded from the inside out!" Shinichi said overly enthusiastically, making Aoko grimace. She sighed, giving up as the two detectives started talking about the possibilities of the case. She made a mental note to harm Kaito after he got over his trauma, of course. If she could wait that long after all this as she watched Kudou subconsciously juggle several colorful balls, making Habuka shake his head.

"You know, I blame Kaito for this new habit." Shinichi said as he juggled the balls.

"It's better then juggling a soccer ball in the middle of a bus." Habuka answered to his complaint. "I just can't believe you went along with his plan."

Shinichi sighed. "Yeah, well, I can't stand it when he sounds sad. That and when you say no once, you have to say it 100 times more to get him to give up. It's just easier to say "yes"."

Aoko nodded her head in agreement and joined the conversation. "So, how bad did he sound on the phone?" She asked slightly worried about her childhood friend.

Shinichi smiled softly at her. "Don't worry, he'll be okay. I promise, but you two really need to start calling me Kaito or Kuroba. It wouldn't due for the teacher's to find out that I'm not."

Aoko shook her head. "Really all this just to get away from an aquarium." Shinichi gave her as he dubbed it a 'Kaito' grin. "Yup, now he might need therapy!"

About ten minutes latter the bus exploded with bright pink smoke and several of the students on the bus found themselves with different colored hair.

"So will those students if they ever found out that the great Kudou Shinichi pulled pranks that are "Kaito" worthy." Habuka muttered under his breathe as Aoko put on an act of yelling at "Kaito". "Well, Maybe now I'll be able to tell the difference between the two when they switch places." Habuka started taking notes on how Shinichi acted as Kaito. He was quite surprised at how well the other could act like the magician.


Kaito was currently curled up on his boyfriend's couch reading one of the many books located in the Kudou mansion. He was trying to get the image of the exploded man. Yes, Exploded. They found trances of a bomb inside the body after he got off the phone with Shinichi. He secretly wished he was the one going to that….aquarium. Those things were better then to what he saw that morning. He shuttered slightly from thinking of both the finny things and exploded man.

He could really go for a good distraction. He moved into another sitting position, and closed the book. It just wasn't working. The scene kept entering into his head. Blood that seemed to coat the walls of the entrance of the detective agency, the look on Mouri-chan's face as she cried into his shoulder, thinking that he was Shinichi, and the disgusted looks on the officers and Mouri-sans faces. He was tempted to call Shinichi again, but he was already sure that Shinichi gave away himself to Aoko while on the phone with him. He could almost see Shinichi's face as it concentrated onto the crime and details.

"It's Kaito! It's Kaito…god what does he want now? It's Kaito…" Kaito frowned at Shinichi's phone as it started going off. "Geezz that's not nice!" He whined as he answered it. "SHIN-CHAN! I was so lonely and scared~!"

"KAITO~! How could you make Kudou-kun take over for you~!? You PROMISED me that you would come for the class trip!" Aoko's yell came over the phone. He winced and rubbed his ear slightly as Aoko continued to yell at him. He could hear Shinichi trying to calm the girl down in the backround.

"I'm sorry, Aoko." He listened as the other girl sighed in defeat.

"I'll only forgive you if you take me shopping!" He gave a meek affirmative, and finally had his Shinichi on the phone.

"Hey, You okay?" (Shinichi)

"Yeah, but I could due without your Karmua, Shin-chan!" He whined, he listened to Shinichi chuckle lightly.

"Did Megure give you any news?"

"No, But Shin-channn aren't you worried about me? I mean it was horrible~!"

"Yes, you told me earlier, remember?"

"Shhhiinn-chhhannn~!"

"heeh, Okay, look if Megure calls and gives you more clues, text them to me, okay?"

"Awww okay"

He could almost see Shinichi's smirk from the phone. "Now, Kaito, If Megure calls about a similer murder, I want you to stay home. Okay?"

"okay, are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'll deal with the full details when I'm done with this trip. Really the aquarium is beautiful! So many different types of fish. Oh! Tropical fish!" Kaito shivered and twitched on the couch and hung up the phone as Shinichi started describing the fish to him.

Evil things. Evil swimmy slimy things!
