So this is about when Shinichi and Ran are in college, and Kaito and Shinichi have met each other, and everyone is paired up.


Everyone was settled down, prepared for another year of college. Their last year, to be exact. Then they could choose a career path. Surprisingly, Hattori and Kazuha had been flexible enough to come to Tokyo. Altogether, they had all met Nakamouri Aoko and Kuroba Kaito. Yes, they were in same classes, sometimes same dorms, or maybe see each other at lunch, but they all thought each other as family, not friends. Kaito had grown to stick at Shinichi's side day and night, till it looked like they were dear brothers. Which was true, and their scary resemblance unnerved every cell in their friends.

Suzuki Sonoko had been extremely happy when she had a matrimony in the salty sea breeze where the waves shattered on every rock with Araide, whom Sonoko thought Ran would be with if Shinichi didn't come back.

They occupied a grand mansion, which had the financial support of Sonoko's wealthy family, presenting hundreds of furnished rooms, had a flourishing garden that reproduced the heavenly early times of earth, and had countless vaults of money all hidden away. Everyone was happy, but perhaps the little married couple were the most merry. Sonoko bore a little bundle of joy, red-faced and teary, crying with persuasive tears. Yes, a daughter. Araide Kiku. Chrysanthemum.

The news is about LINE BREAK who accidentally ran fifty miles for the marathon...

Shinichi stood in his library, searching for a book that met his interest. Not that some of them weren't interesting. All of them were jammed with sense-thrilling mysteries. He heard the pots and pans banging in the kitchen, which signaled Ran was at work. Next to him, Kaito slept soundly on the couch, although Shinichi swore he saw one eye open a few minutes ago. When the phone rang, however, he knew that if Ran was going to answer, there would be a huge phone bill coming up. He reached for the phone, but a "moshi-moshi?" in the hallway told him that Ran had answered.

"Ah, Sonoko!" He heard Ran exclaim. He had to soften a bit; she was going to marry him soon. After a few exchanges, an agreement was made.

"Shinichi! Sonoko's taking me for a girl's day at the mall and I need you and Kaito-kun to take care of the baby!" Ran called at him. Kaito faked an old man's snort and woke up. Grinning, he said in Shinichi's voice,

"Ok!"

So his world-wide known magician was using his voice. Not fair.

"Kaito! Do you know how to take care of a baby?" Shinichi hissed at him, making sure Ran didn't detect his voice. Kaito looked at him in mock fear.

"N-No," He stuttered pathetically, then broke into choppy laughter. "No," He sighed.

"Then how'll we manage?"

"Uh..."

"Shinichi! Come on!" Ran called from the doorway.

"One second!"

He put on a coat, dragged Kaito outside, and with Ran, disappeared into the neighborhood.

This guy went on the nasty LINE BREAK and took a jump off a cliff to escape it.

Once he arrived at the doorsteps of the over sized mansion, a few knocks were all it took, and then Sonoko came flying out.

"Let's go, Ran!"

And with that, they were gone.

As soon as the house was silent, Kiku started fussing.

"Uh, milk?" Shinichi jittered, unusually nervous. In a pop and a flash, literally, a milk bottle sat on his palm proudly, filled to the brim. Shinichi carefully took it off, inspected it, ("What, you don't trust me?") then deemed it safe. He stuffed it in Kiku's mouth, hoping she wouldn't wail. Sucking furiously, it wasn't long until the bottle was empty as it could ever be. The wails lowered into a whimper. The crying had stopped. Shinichi groaned.

"Great, now how do we stop the crying?"

"You can't," Kaito said bluntly.

"Why?"

"The baby's not crying."


Sorry, the chapters are going to be short...
