Conan walked hand and hand with Ran as she walked beside her father, "Why are we coming here again?" Kogorou asked annoyed.
Ran glared at her father, "Because Shinichi's parents asked us to," she stated, "These are old friends of theirs and they can't get out of some things."
Kogorou groaned as they climbed the porch. Conan sighed as the father and daughter argued. He reached up towards the doorbell and just managed to ring it. The door opened a few seconds later, "Oh! You must be Ran-chan!" a woman in her late 30's-early 40's said smiling, "Come in, come in!"
"Thank you," Ran smiled and entered the house with her father and Conan.
The three removed their shoes, "Ran-chan!" Kazuha yelled from the couch beside Heiji.
Conan about fell over from shock, "Kazuha-chan!" Ran and Kazuha hugged each other happily, "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, Yukiko-chan said they were friends of Shinichi-kun," the woman said laughing, "So I thought it wouldn't hurt if they came along. Oh! I almost forgot! I'm Kuroba Chikage, wife of the late Kuroba Toichi and my son…" she looked around, "Kaito!" she called, "Kaito!"
"I'm coming! I'm coming!" Kaito called while walking down the stairs, "Aoko!" he called upstairs.
"Coming!" Aoko quickly ran downstairs and almost knocked Kaito off the stairs.
"Ahoko!" Kaito yelled before getting onto ground.
"Sorry!" Aoko said.
Everyone in the room sweat dropped, "Everyone, this is my son, Kuroba Kaito and his childhood friend, Nakamori Aoko," Chikage said.
Aoko bowed quickly, "Hello!" Kaito face palmed.
"She had a lot of candy this morning," Kaito said, "Just ignore her for a few minutes."
"Kaito you meanie!" Aoko yelled childishly.
"Look, girls," Kaito pointed to Ran and Kazuha, "Go play."
Aoko was suddenly distracted and laughed while pulling Kazuha and Ran into a room down the hall, "Oi…" Heiji said, "What was that for?"
"Trust me," Kaito said, "If Aoko stayed out here then she'd be bouncing off the walls…literally."
Everyone sweat dropped, "Why don't I fix us all a nice lunch," Chikage said walking towards the kitchen.
"Quite the hyper friend you have there Kuroba," Heiji stated.
Kaito chuckled, "Don't worry," he said, "I've had her drinking water since she got here. She'll be back to normal right about…"
"BATHROOM!" Aoko ran out of the room and across the hall slamming the door closed.
Kaito gestured to the hallway, "Now," he smirked.
Heiji snorted and Conan snickered. Kaito gestured up the stairs, "Wanna see my room and give your friends some time to meet the real Aoko?" he asked.
"Sure," Heiji said shrugging.
"I wanna see Kaito-nii-chan's room!" Conan said smiling.
Kaito smirked and went back upstairs. The three entered the room and Kaito closed the door, "Any progress with the antidote, Tantei-kun?" Kaito asked plopping down on his bed.
"No," Conan said, "Haibara still needs the actual drug to get any more progress done."
Kaito hummed, "Well, I'll see what I can dig up on my side of the Organization," he stated, "Still can't believe you figured out who I was just by the sound of my voice, Tantei-kun."
"I have perfect pitch," Conan stated as Heiji sat down in the computer chair.
Kaito hummed, "And you told him why?" he asked pointing to Heiji.
"Oi…I'm here," Heiji stated.
"Duh…I just pointed to you," Kaito stated.
Conan stood in front of the two, "No fighting," he stated, "And I told Hattori because he's been helping me for months and he found out the same way you did."
"Ha!" Heiji laughed.
Kaito smirked, "But it took you two tries," he stated, "I figured it out when it actually perked my interest…"
"Barou!" Conan yelled, "You just overheard me talking to the Professor!"
Heiji laughed again, "Oh shut up!" Kaito yelled.
"And I probably would've figured it out sooner if I hadn't given Kudou that sake and he changed back," Heiji stated.
"Oi!" Conan yelled, "Knowing that saved Haibara's life and without her…where would we be?!"
"Calm down, Tantei-kun," Kaito said holding his hands up in fake surrender, "Is Ran upset about something again or are you just sick of this tiny body?"
Conan glared, "Shut up," he said.
Suddenly, the door opened, "Kaito!" Aoko yelled dragging Kazuha and Ran after her, "Toyama-chan, Mouri-chan and I have a lot in common!"
Heiji and Kaito blinked. Heiji looked at Kaito, "I thought you said she'd be back to normal after she went to the bathroom…" he said deadpanned.
"She is," Kaito stated, "She just naturally hyper unless you get her mad…like…" Kaito flipped Aoko's skirt, "This…" he managed to say before taking off down the stairs.
"KAITO!"
"Where'd she get that mop?" Heiji, Conan, Ran, and Kazuha asked in unison.
There was a rather loud crash and Kogorou yelped, "Maybe we should go break them up," Heiji stated, "From what Kuroba's told us, Aoko-san is skilled in boujutsu."
The four walked down the stairs and saw Kogorou standing on the couch like a woman standing on a chair after seeing a mouse and Chikage calmly picking up the pieces of a broken vase while Kaito and Aoko were still running around the couch. The three teens and one shrunken teen sweat dropped, "Is this normal?" Ran asked.
"Hmm?" Chikage asked, "Oh! Hai! Very much normal. It's cute, ne?"
"Cute?" Heiji asked, "Uh, your definition of cute and the dictionary's is different Kuroba-san."
Chikage giggled, "They'll stop in a minute," she said, "Oh! Lunch!" she quickly ran back into the kitchen.
"Kudou's family has some odd friends…" Heiji stated.
Ran sweat dropped and laughed nervously. Suddenly, her eyes widened, "Oh! I should call Shinichi and let him know what's going on!" she reached into her pocket and found her phone.
Conan paled, "Uh…bathroom!" he quickly made a beeline for the bathroom and locked it.
Ran paused from dialing the number and looked at where Conan ran along with everyone else, "Is he getting sick?" Aoko asked.
Heiji and Kaito sweat dropped. Ran shrugged and finished dialing the number and putting the phone to her ear, "Probably that breakfast Otou-san made us eat in the car," she stated.
"Oi!" Kogorou yelled.
Ran soon smiled and began talking to "Shinichi" on the phone. Aoko joined Kazuha surrounding Ran and listening in, "Oi, Aoko!" Kaito yelled, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing," Aoko giggled before whispering stuff to Ran along with Kazuha that made Ran blush and try to push them away.
Heiji and Kaito looked at each other before shrugging. A few minutes later, lunch was done and everyone surrounded the table eating, "So when are we leaving to see this…thing?" Kaito asked, "What is it again?"
"We're going to go see Yusaku-kun's first book put on display in a mystery museum, but that's not till later tonight," Chikage said then smiled, "There's something else I want to go see as well!"
Kaito sighed, "Please tell me it's not a road trip thing…" he said.
"Oh no!" Chikage said, "It's just a block away from where we need to go. It's a testing of a Parallel Universe device!"
"And why would you want to go see that?" Heiji asked bluntly.
"Heiji," Kazuha hissed.
"What?" Heiji asked.
Chikage giggled, "It just sounds interesting to watch," she said, "And I hear the Professor in charge will be using people from the audience as test subjects!"
"I'm out!" Kaito, Heiji, and Conan yelled.
"Oh it'll be fun!" Chikage said, "Don't be such party poopers boys!"
Conan, Heiji, and Kaito's faces met table, "What's wrong with your mother?" Heiji whispered to Kaito.
"Dad left us a lot of money," Kaito stated softly, "She hasn't had a reason to mature a lot."
Heiji and Conan groaned.
"Big crowd…" Heiji commented, "What are the chances of us being picked?"
Kaito smirked as they took their seats. Chikage and Kogorou sat on the end of the row and the teens sat in the middle of them. The row was actually one chair short so Conan wound up sitting in Ran's lap. Ran sat beside Chikage then Kazuha was beside her then Heiji, Kaito, and Aoko were beside Kogorou. A man about in his late 40's came out with a machine, "Hello and thank you for coming!" he yelled, "Now, who would like to come up and see a Parallel World?!"
"No thanks…" Heiji, Kaito, and Conan muttered.
The boys were slightly happy when the girls shrunk in their seats to try stay hidden. At least they weren't stupid. Suddenly, a light shined down on the six teens, "Thank you for choosing Hikari-chan! Come on up kids!" the Professor yelled.
"Is this dude a Professor or a host?" Heiji muttered as he stood up.
Ran stood up with Conan in her arms and Kazuha, Kaito, and Aoko followed. Aoko held onto Kaito's arm slightly as they walked up and Kazuha gripped the back of Heiji's green and brown-mostly green-jacket. They stood in the middle of the stage, "Now, I need all of you to get in a close group," he said while pushed the teens into each other.
Conan was squashed in the middle no matter how Ran tried to move him to a more comfortable position, "Alright!" the professor said, "Now don't move…" he ran to his machine.
Ran held on tightly to Conan as did Aoko to Kaito and Kazuha to Heiji. Suddenly, they were incased in a blue light. The teens flinched slightly, but then noticed that it wasn't hurting them and they relaxed. Suddenly, a gunshot was heard. Conan and Heiji's heads perked up and Ran, Kazuha, and Aoko screamed when the Professor fell over dead. Heiji, Conan, and Kaito went wide eyed, "No!" they yelled and they felt themselves disappeared.
Conan pulled out his phone quickly and found Ai in his phone's contacts and highlighted her name before throwing it onto the stage just before they disappeared completely into the Parallel Universe.
A/N This is a rather long story and it will have many songs included. I own none of the songs used! Or Detective Conan! We'll start getting into the Parallel Universe next chapter. This was just the getting there part. Please R&R!
