*This was a very short story, just a scene that blew out of my mind, I hope you'd like it*

Characters: Shinichi and Shiho

Love will mean pain, when you run away from what your heart really desires…

The night was cold and gloomy that time, as the rain pours like billion tears of a dying angel. Even the thunder lost its humility when it dispersed melancholy into everyone's soul. And there stood a young lady, facing the glass window on her room, and watching the trees as they dance gracefully under the rhythm of the vengeful sky.

It would be the last, she thought.

"Why are you staring at a view like that?" a familiar voice from a young man broke her silence but she didn't turn around.

"You're still awake?" she asked.

"Shouldn't you be happy that finally we escaped that curse?" he answered differently.

She didn't respond. How can she be happy if she knows later on she'll be back as Shiho Miyano and this young man will become Shinichi Kudou again?

Shiho closed her eyes. She could feel the pain stabbing her heart like a fiery dagger, while imagining this man's pair of eyes sparkling into gladness and love, while facing his dearest girl, Ran.

It was just three days ago when they defeated the evil Black Organization and managed to develop the antidote. Now, they're back to their real bodies and identities.

"What are you planning to do when we come back tomorrow?" Shinichi asked.

"I…already bought a ticket …going to London," she answered in grief.

"W-what?"

"You heard me. I need to go to a place far-"

"You don't need to do that," the handsome detective came near to her. "You know that you could stay with Professor Agasa for a long time and….

"And then what?" she gathered courage and looked straight to his face.

"H-Haibara…" he got surprised. He could see the tears waiting to gush out of her eyes.

"I'm not Haibara anymore!"she raised her voice a little bit . "Not the one you used to know!"

No one spoke. It was a picture of an intense strike of silence. They just stared at each other as if both of them were trying to invade each others' thoughts. Every emotion seems to be soaring with valor everywhere -especially the sense of pain and perplexity.

Shiho then started to walk…away from him, as she wanted to end this sorrowful conversation-wishing it would be the last.

"Will you stay…if I tell you not to leave…me?"

She stopped. But she didn't turn around.

"I want you to stay with me…forever."

Her heart was beating fast that time. She doesn't know what she feels that moment.

"I need you-"

"Do you know what's the most painful thing about it? That is, giving hope to someone even though it only means pleasure in words. I know what your heart really desires. She took a deep breath and continued, "Just go back to her."

Seconds after, she suddenly felt a quick pull behind, spinned her like a precious doll and embraced her like heaven. The scent of him just brought serenity into her muddled feelings. That's what she wished for the very long time, thinking it would only happen in dreams. Her heart beats fast, so fast that she couldn't count them in numbers.

It was like a dream, engulfing her fervent fantasies. But she knows she couldn't just give everything out to that feeling.

She suddenly pulled her body away from his arms and looked straight through his eyes. "Please don't do this, you're just hurting me….so much" Then she quickly reached the doorway, trying to run away from that scene.

But before she was able to get farther from him, she heard…

"When we get back, I'm going to give up…..my feelings, to Ran…."
