This is my first Detective Conan/ Case Closed fanfic. P.S. I'm using the English names.

Disclaimer: I DONOT own Detective Conan, it belongs to Gosho Aoyama, TMS Entertainment and YTV. Enjoy the fanfic. This is a final rewrite of the first ten chapters. I'm still working on the story. I will gladly take suggestions.

Conan's New Life

Chapter 1:

Rachel's Fed Up!

Moore Detective Agency, Tokyo, Japan, 1900 hours | Thurs., 02/04/2015

Rachel pulls Conan into a hug and rubs his head softly as he cries into her shirt. Rachel glares at her father and screams,

"Why did you hit him?!"

"He messes with what he shouldn't! He touches my money, and it's not his."

Rachel screams as she storms out the room with Conan right beside her.

"Hey, where are you going?" comes Richard's voice.

Rachel can tell by the slur in his question that he was again drunk. This was the second time her father had hit Conan without a reason. She didn't think that her father was a child abuser, but considering he just hit Conan upside his head for nothing more than a few dollars, she doesn't want to take any chances. She knows that her father has had drinking issues since his wife left him some years ago, and with Conan, she figures along with drinking, he decides to take out his anger on the boy. She won't have her father hurting him. She cares about Conan far to much to let her father abuse him like this. Once the two of them reach her room, she gets out a blue suitcase with the Tokyo Children's Center logo on the front. Knowing that Conan needed caring for and that her father is too drunk to care for him, she applied for a job two years ago at Tokyo Children's Center and has worked faithfully. In secret she would stow away two hundred dollars per paycheck for emergencies, and with that money stowed away, now totaling over $1,400, she plans to leave Tokyo and take Conan with her. Conan looks up to her as he dries his tears.

"Ra...Rachel, what are you doing?"

"I'm packing our clothes. We're leaving here for good. I'm tired of my Dad hitting you. It's child abuse, and I won't stand for it. I've been saving up my money from my job and I have $2000 in cash, well $1,500, since it was $300 for our tickets."

Conan nods and thinks, "I'm surprised she cares so much about me that she'd leave her father for good.' Conan looks up to her and asks, "Where will we go, Rachel?"

"Harley's place, Conan. I'm sure he'll be happy to see us."

Conan sighs. "What about Kirsten, what if she doesn't want us to stay?"

Rachel chuckles. "If she has a problem, she can deal with me." she finishes with the close of the suitcase. She turns to Conan and smiles. "Now, let's go to your room and pack your stuff, okay?"

Conan nods. "Okay, Rachel."

After thirty minutes Conan's clothes are packed into Rachel's suitcase. She smiles at Conan. "There, all packed. Now, come on, we gotta get to the airport quick before our flight leaves."

Conan's mouth drops open. "You….you booked a flight to Osaka?"

"Of course I did, I planned it all. I called Harley and everything. He'll be waiting at the airport when we arrive."

Conan smiles "Thanks Rachel, I'm glad you care so much about me. I…I don't know what to say."

Rachel hugs Conan and nods. "No need to thank me Conan. Now, let's go."

With that, Rachel grabs Conan's hand and walks out her room. She looks over to the couch to find her father asleep. Most likely, the effects of the liquor have taken their toll on the man. Rachel smiles at this, They would be able to leave without being noticed. By the time he woke up, they'd be in Osaka. Rachel looks down to Conan.

"Come on, Conan. Let's get out of here. I told my Dad, the next time he hit you I was leaving and taking you with me, and that's what I'm going to do. No one is going to hurt you and get away with it.

On that note, Rachel grabs Conan's hand and leaves to the white Mazda RX-7 that is waiting for them. Conan smiles and looks to Rachel.

"Where'd you get this car Rachel?"

"Serena got it for me. It will be taken to Osaka via the cargo bay in the plane."

Conan nods and hops in the car. Once Rachel straps in, she starts the car. After a thirty minute drive they reach the airport and park in the storage area. After talking to the person responsible for storing the car on the plane, Rachel and Conan walk to their gate and board the plane to Osaka. Once on the plane Conan falls asleep instantly, his head resting on Rachel's shoulder. Rachel picks the sleeping boy up and sets him in her lap. She pulls out a blanket from her carry-on bag and covers them both up with it. She smiles at Conan. "Sleep tight, Conan." Rachel finishes by kissing him on the forehead and glancing out the window of the plane.

"This is going to be one heck of an adventure." Rachel thinks as she rubs Conan's hair.
