File 1.  Curse

          "Ran!"  "Shinichi!  It's dangerous!"  There was a loud sound of explosion, "they set up a time bomb here!"  Ran told Shinichi.

"Daijyoobu, Ran.  We can make it!  I'll take you out safely!"

Flashback A week before

Dr Agasa and Haibara had the antidote of aptx-4869 finally ready, and Shinichi took it.  He and Heiji managed to find the Headquarter of the Black Organisation, but Ran and Kazuha were kidnapped by Gin and Vodka.  Their only clue was a letter with password, Shinichi and Heiji managed to decoded the password and found their hiding place.  It was not easy for the boys to destroy the whole organisation at once, so they had called Dr. Agasa and Haibara to call the police.  Shinichi also thought that it was better not to bring Haibara with them. 

end of flashback

          "Ran, I love you…I love you more than anything else on earth."  Shinichi could finally tell Ran his feeling for her in his own voice, "trust me!  we'll be safe, and I have lots of thing to tell you."  He was holding Ran tight in his arms to protect her from the explosion.

          "Shinichi!"  Ran felt so happy that Shinichi was finally come back to her, it did not matter what happened around.

At Beika General Hospital

Room 831, Hattori Heiji

"Ah…it's hurt!"  Heiji was finally woken up, he found himself lying on the bed in the hospital, with Kazuha sitting next to him.  His right arm and leg were wrapped with bandage.

"Heiji, are you okay?  Daijyoobu?"  Heiji noticed that her eyes were a bit swollen, she must be crying.  There were also a few cuts on her arms also.   

"I'm alright, don't you remember I have the omamori from you?"  Heiji felt so sorry to let Kazuha involved in great danger, "um…do they hurt?"  he was pointing at the cuts on her arms.

"No, that doesn't hurt anymore,"  Kazuha was shaking her head vigorously, "it's so good that you're okay,"  tears started falling from Kazuha's chin.

"Aho!  Why are you crying?  I've told you already that I'm okay now!"  Heiji was quite surprise that Kazuha was crying.

"You call me aho?  I'm worrying about you," protested Kazuha.  "Isn't it right for me to worry for the one I LOVE and care?"  She immediately put her hands on her mouth for slipping any more words out.

Heiji blushed slightly, "Kazuha, …"

Kazuha decided that this might be a chance for a change in their relationship, "Heiji, I…um…dai-suki Heiji," her face blushing deeply, she thought that her heart could almost jump out of her chest.  "I have this feeling for you a long time already and…" 

Kazuha peeped at Heiji, to her surprise, he had his hand on her face, wiping her tears off her face, "Kazuha," he was approaching to her face…

"Heiji!  You wake up finally!"  It was Shizuka, "your father had gone back to Osaka first to…" she noticed that both Heiji and Kazuha were blushing slightly, "I'll go back to Osaka also, Kazuha, please help me to take care of Heiji."  Shizuka left them alone in the room.

"Let's go to see Kudo, how is he?"  asked Heiji.

"He's still unconscious, I'm worried about Ran also."  Kazuha then brought a wheelchair in front of Heiji, "come in."

                                                ~*~*~*~*~*~

          Dr. Agasa and the Kudo couples were talking with the doctor, "when will Shin-chan wake up?"  asked Yukiko.

"He'll wake up soon as long as the anaesthetics period is over," the doctor continued, "but since during the operation, his heart had stopped beating for couple of seconds, so his brain was deoxygenated for a while, there may be some side effects on the patient."

"What'd happened to Shinichi?"  Yusaku asked.

"We need to wait him to wake up first."

                                                ~*~*~*~*~*~

          Ran was sitting next to Shinichi, she was really worried about him.  'it's my entire fault, if Shinichi was not trying to protect me, he'll….'  Ran started to cry again.

          She suddenly noticed Shinichi's fingers were twitching, "Shinichi!"

"Where am I?"  Shinichi was finally woken up.

"You're at the hospital, it's so good that you're finally woken,"  Ran hugged Shinichi tightly, afraid that he would just disappear again.

Shinichi's face flushed slightly for having Ran embracing him tightly, "in the hospital?  What'd happened?"  Shinichi had his hand on his head, "ouch! My head's hurt!"

"Who are you?"  A sudden fear struck on Ran upon hearing his question, "I'm Ran, don't you remember?"

"Ran?  Who am I?  I don't remember anything."
