Ran: it's her first story so be nice :-)

Conan & I: hope you enjoy !

It was cold, windy and raining when Ran, Kogoro and I got out of the cab, and shut the door.

Kogoro works and lives with Ran, his daughter, and myself, just an estranged freeloader – ha ha –

We went straight from the agents to the clients house.I stopped dead mid-step on the path from the cab to the client's front door. I looked up at the falling rain as it fell softly against my very cold very pink cheeks.

Suddenly I heard a voice break through the darkness, Ran was calling to me

"Conan-kun what are you doing, come on or you're going to get soaked"

I turned around slowly to face Ran, she had a worried look on her face,

"Oh sorry Ran-nee-chan coming!"

When I reached the door I took off my shoes before entering into the house, when I heard Kogoro whispering. He spoke softly in an irritating manor in the hopes Ran wouldn't hear.

"You should have let him be, the stupid kid, he's always getting in the way!"

Unfortunately for him, Ran overheard him and hit her father on his forearm, with excessive force. I smiled broadly at this, trying not to laugh. I felt he deserved it in any case (didn't he? I think he did!).

I stepped into the house, with a pair of house slippers on my feet; which the client had kindly provided us with, and gradually made my way to the living room with Ran and Kogoro, only to find that the client was now sitting in a big brown recliner at the back of the room. A little to the left were Officer Megure and Takagi, just a normal FIB police men signed to murder mystery, missing people ect - that kind of thing- sitting bolt upright, who were profusely trying to comfort the extremely upset client.

The client was a woman in her late 20's, early 30's if not younger. She went by the name of Hiiyate Mikusuu. Her husband, Hiiyate Namaki, was found dead in their bedroom, with a single clean blow knife wound to the chest.

I felt little pangs of sympathy flow through me as I watched at this desperate woman mourning the death of her beloved husband.

I went on a search for the body for myself; it was then that I discovered the Osaka high school detective had beaten me to it. I was a little surprised to see him there so I asked, in a 6 year old form since some police men were in the same room too,

"Hey Hattori-onii-san what are you doing here!"

Hattori turned around and faced me.

"Ahh, Kudo... I mean Conan-kun. Hey, um... I was on my way to visit a relative in this region when I stumbled across this lot!" Hattori said with a big groofy smile on his face

"Mmm... Really, okay whatever!" I casually responded, without a care in the world for what his purpose there involved.

But I now knew this meant if I wanted to solve the case I was going to have to solve it quick, since Hattori already had an advantage. As I momentarily pondered upon this, Hattori interrupted me, vigorously grasping me and shaking me by the shoulder, whispering

"Nee...Kudo-kun do you want a challenge?"

I looked at him

"What kind of challenge?" I asked a little annoyed as I was in the process of examine the body.

"Well I thought whoever solves the case first can command the loser, the person who doesn't solve the case, to do their bidding! -how's that sound"

I smiled a big grin, a sort of evil grin, Hattori having seen this grimaced.

"Very well, since you appear to be such an egotistical narcissist, you're on!" I replied with a subtle undertone of wickedness in my voice.

"C... C... Cool, okay deal we start now!" As he said this I avoided his gaze and started to think about how Hiiyate Namaki had died.

It was weird, too easy almost. The room had been locked, so no one could have gotten in. However we found traces of scratching on the key hole, the police examined it and had said it'd been picked at, most probably with a paper clip and that was how the most likely method of entry.

Since we'd sorted that, and we knew how Namaki-san was killed, all that remained was to discover who murdered him and why.I went to the kitchen to ask the chef, Kutana Kiko, and if he knew anyone who might have a grudge against Namaki, when I found Mikusuu-san there with him and Ran.

Ran spotted me and beckoned me to come over. As I did so I went straight into asking Kiko-san my questions, he said he didn't know anyone who would wish to harm, let alone kill Namaki-san. This surprised me. When I asked why, Kiko-san replied

"Namaki-san was a kind person, if anyone was in trouble he would always come to their rescue but he wasn't a soft person either" after hearing this I thought to myself that it was strange for a person who was so nice to others to be murdered.

I thought for a second longer when Mikusuu-san, who had been very quite the whole time I was there, turned to me and asked me with a weak smile

"Are you trying to solve the case too little boy?"

I looked up at her gazing at her soft pale face, and replied with a smile, "I'm only helping Mori-san with a few little things because if I didn't I think I would feel that I was in the way!"
Ran giggled at this and replied,

"Oh really then why do you always ask to come to whenever there is case to be solved?"

This time I was taken aback at what Ran said next...

me: hey sorry this chappie was so short - ahh conan-kun can you do me the honours please?...

conan: ok sure ...

hattori & conan: please R&R thankz

conan & me: ahh where did you come from?!

hattori: he he that's for me to know and you to find out!

-conan off thinking where haturi came from-

hattori: hey hey kudo-kun i didn't really mean it!

me: sorry -lol- bye bye :-)
