Loosing everything by Mahado

Chapter 1: "Everything is alright…"

She was still crying. Sitting on the old, grey couch that accented her pale face even more, she noticed nothing around her. Her eyes were filled with tears and despair. They were empty and lifeless. He never saw her like that before. Ran was always happy and filled with joy in life. Of course she cried sometimes, especially because of him. This fool left her alone and always lied to her. This fool only called her on the phone to say, "Hello and goodbye". This fool loved her so much, more than anyone else in this world, but never found the courage to tell her. And even if it was very painful to watch her missing him, it wasn't nearly as bad as now.

She never was so helpless and weak as she was today. He had to do something. Even if he wasn't himself now, and was just a stupid small child with glasses that he didn't need. Everything was a lie.

"Ran-neechan…?" She didn't look up. It was as if she didn't realize that the boy was standing in front of her. Only the sound of sad and muffled sobs filled the room. "Ran-neechan, are you alright?" It was a stupid question. He knew she wasn't. He wasn't alright either.

Finally, she looked up. At first she stared into his eyes, surprised. Then she smiled softly, like she always did. She didn't know how it hurt him to see this 'everything-is-alright-smile'.

"Conan-kun…" she whispered, and tried her best to build up a new mask of happiness. She knew that he already knew it was a fake, but she needed this illusion. But she couldn't fight back new tears. "I'm sorry Conan-kun… I don't want to make you upset, too." The boy shook his head, then he stepped forward, putting his short arms around her neck and finally hugging her. Ran winced for a second or two, but then she hugged him back. Even more tears crossed her already red cheeks. She held the little boy tight to her body and let out a painful scream of sadness and fears. Conan felt her body shaking and caringly petted her back. "It's alright, Ran….I will find him. I promise…" She didn't notice the missing "-neechan" on the end of her name. She didn't notice how adult-like the kid reacted. She was just crying, and she finally drifted of into a deep slumber.

"Soya…Jiisan has been missing the last two days?" Hattori folded his arms and rested his back against a wall. His green eyes observed the grey sky above them. Conan sighed a bit before he answered.

"Yes…"

"And there is no hint where he could be? Maybe he just followed a young sexy woman, and drank a little too much sake?"

"Iee…No." The little boy with the glasses shook his head "He wouldn't worry Ran that much…Even if he is careless he would call her at least. There is something else…I have a bad feeling about this." The tanned detective winced.

"You think…." As always their thoughts overlapped. Conan nodded softly, but seriously.

"Maybe he was kidnapped." Heiji let out a small ironical laugh.

"You´re kidding, Kudo! Why should…?"

"Hattori! This isn't funny. Kogoro is a famous detective who has solved a lot of difficult cases. He has a lot of enemies." The younger boy stopped for a short breather. "Maybe he solved one case too many…" There was a short silence between the two detectives. Heiji felt how fretful his friend was.

"Damn!" Conan dashed his fist against the wall. In some way it was his fault that Kogoro was missing. It was his fault that Ran was crying.

Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up. Heiji had a fake smile on his face. "Come on…Everything will be alright. I'm sure the old man is alive and happy." The smaller boy returned the smile with a weak one. But deep inside his soul, he knew that something terrible happened, and that this was only the beginning of a nightmare which would end in a rude awakening.

To be continued….

Hope you liked it this far…

It would be nice if somebody want to be my second Beta-reader in this way I could update new chapters faster.
