Ran's POV
My name is Mouri Ran, the famous 'orchid' from Japan. As you know, I am now 17 years old, second grade high school, class 2-B, in the same class with my two of my childhood friends, Suzuki Sonoko and Kudo Shinichi.
I am a karate player, I have won regional championships and other tournaments. I really enjoyed my high school life right now, even though my parents lived separately since I was 7 years old. Well, you could say that my life is almost perfect.
Until one day, something happened that changed my life 180 degrees, of course I wasn't talking about the loss of Shinichi, but something that really changed my whole life.
Author's POV
"You asked me when I can finish making a permanent antidote? Do you think it's easy ?!" Haibara said a little emotion when Conan asked her.
"Oee ... I'm just asking ..." Conan said defending himself.
"You know for yourself, right? Making APTX4869 is not easy, I can make that toxins because I continued my parents' research ..."
"Then what did you make it for?"
"Didn't I say so many times? I was forced by the organization ..."
"And I want you to always remember this Kudo-kun ... Making toxins that make our bodies shrink is very difficult, let alone make an antidote in the absence of accurate data."
Conan was silent hearing Haibara's words, she was right. Conan must remain patient until Haibara manages to find a permanent antidote that she created herself without the help of accurate data belonging to the organization that contains all the drug information at all.
As a result, Haibara had to stay up almost every night facing various kinds of chemicals in her lab, not surprised if she evaporated every day.
However, the sense of selfishness that had been embedded in Conan made him angry at Haibara. Conan spilled all the mistakes on Haibara. Because of that girl, he was forced to part with the woman he loved, even though he was always by her side.
"Does your childhood friend have to be a lover in the future?" a sharp satire just came out of Haibara's mouth, of course, made Conan very surprised.
"What do you mean??!" snapped Conan, who couldn't hold his emotions anymore.
"Only because of that woman are you willing to endanger yourself ?!" Haibara didn't want to lose. Their quarrel became even more so that the atmosphere of the Hakase house was hot.
"Shut your mouth, Haibara !!" Conan shouted.
"Shinichi, Ai-kun, please stop it!" said Hakase who was unable to do anything to the two people who were fighting right before his eyes.
"If I shut up, you will never understand Kudo-kun !!!" Haibara said shouting louder than Conan. Conan lowered his face, clenched his hands tightly, it was obvious that he was holding back his anger at his fellow friend, the half British and Japanese girl.
"I ... really hate you, Haibara ..." Conan hissed. Haibara's heart immediately felt very painful when she heard that Conan hated her.
Conan turned and stepped closer to the front door.
"Remember this, Haibara ... I will never consider you again as my partner and my friend, you are just a sly demonic woman!"
Haibara just stunned when she saw Conan open the door.
"I ... I hate you too !!!" Haibara shouted in a trembling tone. Conan ignored her completely and closed the door violently.
BLAAMMMM !!
Haibara was still in her position, her body felt stiff to move. Moments later, she fell down and her cry spilled. Hakase immediately woke Haibara and led her to sit beside him.
"Be patient, Ai-kun ... Maybe Shinichi is having a problem." Hakase said trying to comfort Haibara.
"But Hakase ... He hates me forever." Haibara said in her mouth. She did not expect Conan to say that to her, a sentence that made her heart broken.
"Even he called me a demon woman ..." Hakase handed Haibara a tissue box.
"When it's like this, I have no hope for anyone anymore."
"If only Curacao was still alive, I could still be relieved, because actually she was a very good woman, and she was also a traitor like me." Haibara said while removing the tears that had flooded her cheeks, her tears began to subside.
"If only I could make the antidote faster, it wouldn't happen like this ..."
"Never mind Ai-kun ... Don't blame yourself again, it will actually make you close your eyes to your life and destroy you slowly."
"Don't think about Shinichi ... You have to stay up no matter what your circumstances."
Haibara looked at Hakase and smiled, he was like a father to her.
"It's true ... I have to get up." Haibara's face that had looked very cloudy now began to look bright thanks to the motivation given by Hakase.
Hakase was very happy to see his adopted daughter start smiling.
a few days later
Ran's POV
Today is Thursday, I wear my school uniform with a white top covered with a black blue suit and a black skirt, not forgetting the ribbon-shaped tie typical of Japanese uniforms.
"Otou-san, ittekimasu!" I exclaimed loudly every morning.
"Hai, hai, itterasshai!" he replied only with a wave of his hand, his eyes still busy reading his horse racing newspaper at his desk.
"Oh yeah, I will go home tonight because there is a karate club like usual." I said.
"I know, so Conan and I have to eat at Poirot Cafe, right?" said dad who was eating his bread breakfast.
"Exactly! Then, please take care of Conan-kun well ..." I said as I hummed.
"Tch, I have to look after that brat again." I could hear his grumbling though slowly, and I just giggled in my heart.
I closed the detective's door and went down the stairs. I run to school, I am very happy because today there is my favorite lesson.
Conan POV
As usual, I went to school with these little detectives, but there was a slightly different atmosphere because Haibara didn't come with us anymore, when leaving or returning home. Even though she sat on a bench right next to me, she chose to avoid me. At rest, she always disappears. Out of curiosity, I once followed her and found that Haibara was close to Reika and Sachi, member of class 1-A.
Yes, from that day on, we never spoke to each other again, even saw me she didn't want to. Actually I feel guilty for having said something inappropriate to her, and I'm sure because of that her heart hurt so much that she hated me.
But I feel my words are correct, so I never apologized to her. I remained in my position, she was indeed a demonic woman who took me into this unpleasant little boy's life. I hate her very much.
"Hey, Conan-kun!" Ayumi's rebuke immediately made me realize from my daydream, apparently we were in class. I was so immersed in my thoughts that I didn't realize we had arrived.
"Why is it now Ai-chan is like staying away from us?" Ayumi asked me.
I just lifted my shoulders. Actually I know what the reason she is away from us, no ... exactly she is away from me, it's just that I can't say it to these children.
"Haibara-san changed, now she is playing with students from class A." Mitsuhiko said disappointedly.
"Is she tired of playing with us, huh?" Genta guessed.
"No Genta, it looks like Haibara-san hates us." Mitsuhiko said.
"Ha ... Haibara hates us? What do we do to her until she hates us ?!" Genta said worriedly.
"Genta-kun! I think she doesn't hate us all, she just hates one of us!"
'Haha ... Mitsuhiko, your guess is right.' I said in my heart.
"Jaa, then who does Ai-chan hate ??"
"I don't know, hmm ..." Mitsuhiko pressed his finger to his chin, he tried to think of something.
"Genta-kun, are you sure you didn't make Haibara-san hate you ?!" Mitsuhiko said in a probing tone.
"There's no way I made him hate me! Rather than that, are you sure you didn't do it yourself, Mitsuhiko?" Genta said.
"Th ... that ..."
"Haa !!!!" Ayumi patted her hands.
"Conan-kun, don't you think?" Ayumi asked, making me sweat cold, so bad if they knew our relationship was getting worse.
"Eh? Wh ... Why do you think so Ayumi-chan?" I asked nervously.
"Because of that time ..."
flashback on
Ayumi's POV
"Yoshida-san ..." Ai-chan called, she approached me who had just come with Genta and the others.
"Hee, Ai-chan? How sad you didn't come with us." I said with surprise.
"Ah ... there's something I have to solve, so I'm coming faster than you guys, I'm sorry." Ai-chan said. I shook my head.
"Need not to apologize, Ai-chan!" I said with a smile.
"Then what does Ai-chan want to talk to me about?"
"That ..." Ai-chan put her mouth close to my ear, trying to whisper something.
"May you help me?"
"Of course, what can I do for you?"
"Please, can we exchange our seats?"
"Hee ... So that's it." I looked at Ai-chan's bench next to Conan.
"Actually I just want, Ai-chan, especially your seat next to Conan-kun ... But sorry, we can't exchange seats, because there are rules from school." I said at length.
"I see ..." Ai-chan muttered disappointed, as if she wished I could exchange seats with her.
"Why is Ai-chan? Are you fighting with Conan-kun?" I asked guessing. Ai immediately shook her head quickly.
"It's not like that ... Arigatou, Yoshida-san!" Ai-chan said, leaving me to go to the bench because the first lesson bell rang.
flashback off
"That was happening ..." Ayumi said, ending her story.
"So it's because of you, Conan!" exclaimed Genta, he pulled my collar.
"N ... No ... This is a misunderstanding ..." I said giving a reason. I have to keep hiding our two fights.
"Don't lie, Conan-kun !!" Mitsuhiko added, making me feel even more cornered.
"If ... If the reason she did that was bored sit next to me how?" I put out all the excuses that crossed my mind, the important thing was that I could escape their suspicions.
"That's right ..." Genta let go of my shirt collar, I sighed with relief.
"But still we can't get rid of that possibility." Mitsuhiko said glaring at me.
'Oee .. Oee ..'
Shortly after, the first lesson bell rang, all students immediately sat neatly in their respective places before teacher arrived. That's when I saw Haibara who had come first than we entered the classroom and sat on his bench. Well, there has never been any chat or greeting between us.
Ran POV
When I was running, suddenly like someone was holding my feet, so I fell immediately and my chin stumbled with the asphalt road.The people who happened to be near me approached me.
"Are you okay?" asked an old woman helping me to get up. She was surprised when she saw my face.
"Arigatou, obaasan! Ng? What's wrong?" I asked with a grimace at the pain when stumbling with the asphalt.
"Your chin is bleeding ..." the woman answered pointing at my chin. I immediately touched the area indicated and I saw my palm which turned out to be exposed to blood quite a lot from my chin, I almost cried because it felt so painful.
"You better go home." said a young man aged around 20 to 30.
"You're the daughter of Detective Mouri right?" he asked, surprised me.
"How do you know?"
"I was once a client, when you were a kid, your name is Mouri Ran right?" he replied, he reached out to me.
I welcomed his helping hand, then he helped me up.
"You must be taken to the hospital immediately to be treated. I will contact your father." he said as he took his cellphone, a few minutes later he had talked to my father.
"What ?! Ran fell ??!" Dad's voice came from across the street, it sounded he was very surprised when he heard what had happened to me.
"Right, I will take her to Beika Central Hospital for treatment." replied the man who seemed to be a doctor.
"Alright, I'll be there soon! Arigatou, Araide-sensei!" Father said in a hurry, he immediately decided to call.
'Araide-sensei?'
"Well, let's go to my car that's over there ..." he said, pointing to the silver sedan. He carried me to his car. I don't understand, just because I tripped up I became like this?
Conan's POV
"Hey, let's go to Hakase's house!" suggested Genta.
"Come on, come on! Ayumi want!"
"I agree!"
'To Hakase's house? At this rate, I'd better just run away now.' I thought.
trrtt ... then ...
My cellphone vibrates a sign that there is an email that just entered. I immediately grabbed my cellphone and checked it.
Conan, now there is no one at home.
Ran and I are in hospital now.
This morning she had fallen and her chin was bleeding.
Temporarily go to Agasa-hakase's house.
Mouri Kogoro.
What? Ran fell ?? I immediately turned away from the three children to call Uncle Kogoro.
"Ah, where is Conan-kun going?" Ayumi asked when she saw me leaving them.
"I have a little business, you go first!" I said while running.
"Moshi-moshi?" I said.
"Oh, that's you brat! What's wrong?" asked Uncle Kogoro to me.
"Kogoro no oji-san, how is Ran-neechan now?" I asked anxiously.
"Now she's fine, the wound has been treated."
"Thank God ..." I say relieved.
"Oi Conan, go to Hakase's house, we are stuck in traffic and new possibilities arrive at 4pm." I was surprised, of course I didn't want to, because surely I would meet Haibara if I went to Hakase's house.
"I don't want to, I'll just wait." I said, looking at my watch, now it's only 2 o'clock in the afternoon, there are still 2 hours left for them to arrive at the detective agency's house.
"STUPID !! Now there's a lot of kidnapping !! What should I say to your parents if they ask me ?? !!" snapped Uncle Kogoro shouting, until my ears ached.
"Listen, if you don't want to obey, I'll give you a lesson !!" he said, threatening to make me shudder in horror.
"O ... Ok, I will go to Hakase's house ..." in an instant, Uncle Kogoro had decided on my call.
I took a deep breath then took it out again. How about this? I will definitely meet her ... I step my foot which is like a helpless one, imagine what will happen if we meet.
"You?!" I said surprised when I saw the three of them still in the same place.
"I told you all to go first."
"We're Detective Boys won't leave our friend, right?" Genta said with a big smile followed by Mitsuhiko and Ayumi's nods.
"Taku, you guys ..." we continued our journey to Hakase's house.
Haibara POV
"Ai-chan, why aren't you waiting for them? Don't you usually go home with them?" Reika asked me, who pointed to the little detectives. I suddenly shook my head.
"What's wrong? Do you have a problem with them?" Sachi asked.
"Not really ... I'm just bored. After all, shouldn't we be close friends with everyone?" I said, throwing my question at them.
"That's true ..." Reika said, thinking about my words.
"Jaa, then let's go home now." Sachi asked.
The three of us went home together, I'm sure that three innocent children must have been wondering why I was away from them lately.
Gomennasai, Minna ... I don't mean to stay away from you guys ... It's just because there is someone that I keep away from him ... I don't want to be near him anymore, near someone who has labeled me a devil woman who ruined his life.
what would happen if Conan came to Agasa-Hakase's house ?? keep wait for the next chapter
