AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is my first story on FF, and I just kinda started writing it with no plan in mind. Please excuse irregular updates. *bows*
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Detective Conan/Case Closed or Magic Kaito 1412 (I wish). They both belong to Aoyama Gosho.
INHERITANCE
"Pandora - a gem said to bring eternal life to those who drink the tears that are shed when it's held under the full moon. In legend, it resides within a larger gem and glows red under the moon." Kudo Yukiko just sat there and explained to a 6-year-old Shinichi, who looked at the gem sitting on the desk in the library of the Kudo Mansion.
The gem in front of Shinichi, however, looked like the average ruby that was in her mother's collection of jewelry. It was mounted in a necklace and looked like something was supposed to cover the front. She couldn't believe in a magic gem of all things, until her mother held it up to the window where the moon shone proudly with a sigh. Red light was thrown all over the library as the gem sparkled.
With a smile, Yukiko lowered the gem and the red light disappeared. "Your father didn't believe me either when I first told him." Picking up something on the desk that Shinichi didn't notice earlier and snapped it onto the front of what she now realized was a locket. Yukiko knelt down then proceeded to clasp the locket onto Shinichi's neck.
"Shin-chan, Pandora has been passed down, mother to daughter, for generations. As my mother did before me, I now pass her down to you as Guardian. She has been a best friend for all these years. Please take care of her for me."
Shinichi nodded, not sure what to do next. Yukiko looked on with amusement. "Just say hi to her, Shin-chan."
Nervously, Shinichi took the locket into her small hands and, holding it up to eye level, murmured a shy, "Hello." Nothing happened, and so Shinichi looked up to her mother, confusion written clearly on her petit face. Yukiko pointed looked back down to the locket, and Shinichi's gaze followed.
"Hi there, Shin-chan!" A bright, musical voice startled Shinichi so that she dropped the locket and it bounced harmlessly against her chest. The voice seemed to come from inside her head instead of spoken out loud. "My name is Pandora, but you can call me Pan-chan if you want!"
Shinichi smiled the brightest smile Yukiko had ever seen on the child's face before running off to play with her new friend.
Please review and follow if you like :D
Hopefully, I'll be able to get a decent length first chapter when I think of where I want to go with this. *laughs nervously*
Welp, see you when I next update!
