This is my first fanfic ever! I have created it to leave off immediately after the 3rd movie, and I have restated the last scene so that you can understand. Also, I created this so that it goes exactly according to past episodes, so this is accurate.

- Takes place immediately after ending of Detective Conan Movie 3: The Last Wizard of the Century

Previously:

(At Ran's house)

Ran( softly): "Conan, you aren't Shinichi, right? You are a different person, right? Conan?"

Shinichi thinks: "I guess it's already time to tell her."

Conan: "Ran, my true identity is --"

(Kaito Kid shows up as the door, disguised as Shinichi, it is raining outside)

Ran: "Shinichi!? Is that you?"

Kid (sounding like Shinichi): "Of course it is. Sorry I haven't told you I am coming, but I need to leave right away for another case."

Ran: "Hold on! Let me go get you a towel!"

(Kid and Conan are outside, and Conan thanks him as they both talk about their previous adventure, then Kid disappears)

Ran (Conan and herself back in house): Why does he keep running off? Next time I see him, I will kick his ass!

Conan thinks: "Maybe it's better if I don't change back right now!"

Chapter 1:

Kaito Kid continued to walk through the night, and then into an alleyway. He was still disguised as Shinichi, so nobody would know it was him if someone did see him walking. Unknowingly to him, criminal activity was talking place nearby; an act that would forever change the life of himself and the detective he posed as.

"I brought the money, just as you said! Now please release my son!" said the defenseless man to the two men in Black he was pursued by as they stood in the dark alleyway.

"How do we know you won't tell the police about us once we let you out of here?" said Gin of the Black Organization.

"I can't even see your face, it's so dark out, and you never even told me your names! Now please let my son go!"

"Unfortunately for you, the boy did see our faces, so we had no choice but to execute him."

"Don't worry, it was quick and painless, so he didn't even feel a thing" laughed Vodka, Gin's partner.

"You bastards!" shouted the man violently. "I will be sure of it that the police come and you will both die painfully!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk....." said Gin as he slammed the man's head to the brick wall next to them and put a pistol to his head. "Wrong thing to say. I guess I will let you see your son again, just like you wanted."

"WHY YOU--"the man shouted, and then Vodka slapped a hand over his mouth.

"Shhh!" he said. "Look over there!" he whispered to Gin. Suddenly, Gin's eyes were struck with a look of shock.

"It can't be!" he whispered in surprise. "I guess we have no choice. But this time, we do it my way."

He tossed the now unconscious man on the ground, held up his gun, and aimed it at the figure he saw near him. "This time, detective," he said, in a revengeful manner, "you shall not interfere ever again.

--------------------------------------

It was the day after Ran had met with "Shinichi" and it was a beautiful morning as she, Conan, and Kogoro were about to their breakfast as they watched the morning news. Ran sighed.

"You know," she said to Conan as she carried breakfast to the table, "Sometimes I think Shinichi really does care about his dumb cases more than he does me. He has just been so involved lately, and ever since that evening when he disappeared, he just hasn't been acting himself. I guess he doesn't feel the same way about me as I thought. Conan, I am starting to think that he is not the boy I should be in love with..."

Conan looked up in surprise.

"Uh...don't say that Ran!" he said almost panicking. "I'm sure its all just the fault of the people who hire him to solve cases! He isn't trying to disappoint you! Once he gets back from his long run of cases, he will be right back to the way he was!"

Ran smiled and chuckled. "Conan, I am glad that you always like to comfort me when I am like this." She said. "If you were my age, then I would probably love you more than Shinichi!" she stated sarcastically.

"Haha....quite impossible..." thought Conan.

Just then, they all heard something loud on the T.V., and they all looked to see what it was.

"Special Report! Special Report! Innocent high school boy was found dead in an alleyway this morning!"

Ran, Conan, and Kogoro looked at the television screen with concern.

"This may turn out to be another case for me!" said Kogoro excitedly, as he ran into his room to watch more alone.

" The victim has been identified as none other than the famous high school detective, Kudo Shinichi! Apparently, he was killed by a gunshot to the middle of the back, and was found lying against a wall covered in blood........"

Ran and Conan both silenced in incredible shock, and paused for a moment.

"Huh!? How can this be!? The picture of the body looks like me but--OH NO! KAITO KID!" thought Conan.

Ran dropped the tray full of breakfast, and it crashed to the ground, and everything on it fell all over the place. Then she dropped to her knees"

Her eyes were wide open in shock. She was speechless.

"But...........how..........wha............it..........can't..........be........."

Conan knew what he had to do now. He had no choice but to tell her.

He said in a panicking quick tone, "Ran! This is all a big mistake! Shinichi isn't dead! I am really--"

At this moment, she punched him so hard, that he crashed against the wall all the way across the room.

He looked at her in shock, and his back was bleeding now.

"Ran.....I......." he said too quiet for anyone to hear.

Ran turned off the television, and her eyes had begun to swell with tears. She slowly backed away from the television and then looked at Conan silently, who was injured and lying on the ground against the wall staring at Ran with sadness. She suddenly ran toward him, fell on the ground, and hugged him. As she buried her face into his shoulder, she began sobbing.

"I have to find out what is going on here." thought Conan.
