Hello everyone, I'm planning on writing more of this story but found that my earlier chapters to be a bit... not to my liking. So I decided to rewrite them to be more consistent with the other newer chapters.

It was the summer of '– in Beika City that I first experience this kind of emotion. Even in its early stage, it affected my behavior profoundly whenever he is around. At first I though nothing of it, but as this emotion continues, my curiosity increase to the point of compassion and I became in need of some help for guidance and assistance.

Haibara's P.O.V.

"Oi Haibara-san!" a voice yelled. I turn around to see it was from Tsuburaya-kun with Ayumi-chan, Kojima-kun and Kudo coming up to me.

"We got a new request from someone in our class!" Ayumi-chan explained to me ever so happily. "He mention in his letter that someone is constantly stalking his older brother to the point that he's receiving strange letters with no name and address. He also wants us to come over to his house today for further information!" Ayumi-chan said.

"It been a while since we received a request from school." Tsuburaya-kun stated as we walk outside of the school. "We better get something to eat, all this excitement is making me hungry" Kojima-kun not surprisingly said to no one in particular.

I smiled a bit at watching them with their childish behavior. I wonder if I would ever behave like this. I look at the sky, and notice a crow flying down to sit on a electric pole line. The crow seems to be staring at someone at a local bakery. There were several people working but there was one particular that caught my attention. As I watch him, everything else around me didn't matter or maybe I seem to not be aware of them.

Then suddenly our eyes met and for some reason I suddenly look away. "Oi Haibara are you alright?" Ayumi asks me. "Yeah just a bit light-headed is all." I quickly recover. Before I knew it, we arrive to the kid house.

We knock and the kid open the door for us to come in but for some reason my mind is else where.

"Alright, to start out with, your name is Masudo Rei, age 9, the same age as us, who currently live with your older brother. In addition, your older brother didn't finish High School in order to work so he could support you." I said with my usual tone.

"Oi...Haibara-san isn't that a bit...harsh." Tsuburaya-kun said to me. "I'm merely stating the facts." I reply back.

"I-I don't mind, yes my brother is working three job in order to support me." Masudo-san said as he lead us to his room.

"So where is this brother of yours?" I ask him. "Oh he is working right now but he should be here soon." He said as he turn on his television. "While we wait, we can play some video games."

"Yeah games!" The three kids said as they quickly make their way in order to grab a controller. "You mention in your letter that your brother been receiving stranger letter. May I see them?" Kudo as the kid which he in turn nods his head. He left the room and return after a few seconds with a metal tin box. "We kept all the letters here, inside this box." Masudo-san said as he open it up.

Kudo then look at each one of them. "They are all written in ENGLISH... Does your brother speak English?" Kudo asks him. "Yeah, fluently."

I walk up to Kudo. "So... any ideas as to why the letters is being sent to the older brother?" I ask him. "No not yet, we have to wait and ask the older brother before coming up with any leads. How long do you think your older brother will be here?" Kudo asks the boy.

"Any minute..." The boy answers. "All this detective work is making me hungry." Kojima-kun commented.

"Although you haven't done anything besides playing video games Genta-kun." Ayumi-chan repsond.

"I'm home!..." A voice said outside of Masudo's room. "Onii-chan, my big brother is here." Masudo-san said as he read out of the room with us eventually following him.

I was surprise to find a young teenager, around the same age as Kudo's girl. To make matter even more surprising, it the same person I saw at that bakery earlier today.

"Onii-chan, these are the people I was telling you about." Masudo-san said. "Oh yes well I'm Masudo Takashiro. Said Masudo-san older brother. "I heard about you guys from Rei-kun and on television. Please if there anything you need, don't hesitate to ask."

"Well actually, I was wondering if you could GRUMBLE... "

Why did my stomach have to grumble right in front of everyone...especially in front of him...

Everyone said nothing... I couldn't help but look down on the floor. I never had this happen to me. Why now?

"You guys must be hungry, why don't I whip everyone something to eat." Masudo-san older brother said as he left to the kitchen.

Me being all embarrass just stood there for a moment until I came through. Everyone decided to continue playing video games until dinner was ready. Kudo just watch them as I just sat down on Masudo-san bed, thinking on how to change Masudo's older brother image of me.

Here it is... Until Next Time!
