Disclaimer: I do not own Detective Conan/Case Closed nor I never will. I am just a fangirl who plunnies happened to attack.
Author's note: Okay this is a new idea that struck me or at least a new twist on an old idea, but I don't really know how it's going to play out. So I am going to write the 1st and 2nd chapters and work on the next but will not post it unless people show genuine interest, in other words, you want to see more? Click the review button at the bottom of the screen.
I am going to use Japanese names but I have watched the English version longer, so if you see a mess up in the names, please tell me, I would really appreciate it. Oh and if people think the story is too mature, please tell me, so I can bump the rating up.
Conan awoke to the brash, harsh sound of Kogoro's snoring. He yawned and reached for the glasses that completed the alias that he was forced to assume so long ago. He placed them on the perch of his nose and went in search of sustenance in the form of Ran's cooking.
Ran Mouri worked in the kitchen preparing breakfast for the two males in her house. She laughed as she remembered the last time they had tried to cook for themselves. They could never seem to cook right. Ran heard small footsteps coming towards the kitchen and smiled, the younger boy always seemed to wake first due to her father's snoring.
"Good morning Ran-neechan" Conan called out stepping into the kitchen to catch a tantalizing whiff of the meal she was currently preparing. Ran turned to Conan "You know today you had planned to spend at the park with the detective boys, Ayumi already called" she said.
Conan smiled for Ran's benefit to insure her that he was happy, though in reality he would rather be spending the day with her. He said "Yeah I know I am going to go meet them after breakfast" Ran smiled and looked up as she heard her father's trudging footsteps into the kitchen. Kogoro's footsteps were heavy and dragging, showing that he had obviously been drinking last night.
Kogoro came into the kitchen with his signature scowl. He glared at Conan and sat in his seat opposite to him. Ran served them their food and they all ate in silence not wanting to set off the bomb that Kogoro was in the morning.
Though he would love to spend the day with Ran, that scowl Kogoro had usually would not go away until he watched his Yoko concerts that were recorded. This scowl also meant that Kogoro was much more likely to hit Conan. Besides, Conan didn't really feel like being a punching bag today. Conan hurried as quickly as he could and scurried out the door and to the park, where his friends awaited his arrival eagerly.
Conan walked to the park with his hands in his pockets. He really hoped the detective boys wouldn't want to play baseball…again. Conan sighed, it was kind of fun being a kid again but as always, the cons far out weighed the pros. He seemed to be thinking about that more lately. He just wished he could get a lead on the men in black. Then maybe he could finally return to his normal size.
He remained lost in these thoughts until he realized, with a start, that he had already arrived at his intended destination. He neared the park and slipped on the childish mask he wore for the friends who only saw him as their overly intelligent friend, instead of what he truly was.
Ayumi saw Conan and waved enthusiastically. Genta and Mitsuhiko looked over and waved as well. Conan waved and trotted over to where the gang sat by the trees. Conan looked around noticing that Haibara wasn't there with them. "Hey where's Haibara" Conan asked perplexed.
Ayumi looked saddened for a moment "We went to see her, but she wasn't feeling very well today" Conan blinked "Oh that's too bad." "So what do you guys want to do today? Genta asked excited. Mitsuhiko seemed to ponder this before pumping his arm into the air and saying "We should play baseball!" Ayumi and Genta said "Yeah!" mirroring Mitsuhiko's movement. Conan sighed quietly and resisted the urge to bang his head on the nearest convenient object.
Suddenly they all heard a gunshot from the opposite end of the park. Immediately Conan took off running in the direction from which the noise came. They came to a stop near a bunch of bushes and witnessed a horrifying sight. They saw two men in black throw the body down a nearby ravine. The man in black smirked as he watched the body tumble down to its final resting place.
The body landed in the ravine with a sickening thud that made all the detective boys cringe. Conan watched as one of the men turned around. He froze as he recognized the man as Gin, the man who had shrunk him at Tropical Land that long time ago. Ayumi gasped and Conan quickly pulled her into the bush quickly followed by Genta and Mitsuhiko.
Conan made a shushing gesture and seemed to be sweating bullets. Genta looked around and whispered conspiratorially to Conan "Conan, we have a new case" Conan glared at him "Are you kidding?! We need to call the police" he hissed, his volume only checked by the two men close to their current hiding place.
Ayumi began to cry as Genta and Mitsuhiko tried to comfort her. Another gunshot rang out and all children ducked. Conan looked up after the noise had passed and saw what remained of Ayumi's face. Within a fraction of a second Conan realized what he was looking at and gasped.
Most of her face was gone, torn off from the force of the blast but her eyes remained. Her eyes remained open, but unseeing and they lacked the sparkle that they always had that made Ayumi seem innocent, but caring as well. She remained kneeling as if she were still alive, her dead eyes seeing nothing until gravity finally asserted itself and she crumpled to the ground. "Oh shit" Conan said out of reflex as the bushes rustled closer, announcing their friend's murderer was coming closer.
