Kudo Shinichi's Adventure:
(The World Beyond Reality)
J.S. KID
…
'This girl was sure annoying eh? She and Genta's already surpassed Ayumi, Mitsuhiko annoying level.' Conan thought as he watched the brown haired girl kept on talking about things. Well, he really didn't pay attention to what she was saying anyway.
"Oh by the way Conan-kun, where are you from? It's the first time I see you here?" Mikan asked after blabbering many, many, many nonsense to the little boy.
"I'm from Beika Street. In Tokyo." Conan answered and then yawned. Not good, he felt sleepy again.
"Eh? Beika? Where was that? I never heard that before." Mikan answered. Conan looked unbelievingly at the 16 years old girl in his side.
'Are you serious that you're from Japan?' Conan thought.
"It's in Tokyo! It came after the name of a Street in England, which is the Baker Street where – "
"Ah! Where Sherlock Holmes house is located? I think I already heard that from someone. My friend asked her where she came from too. I didn't pay attention but I heard Baker and Sherlock." Mikan stated clearly. Conan eyes widen because of that information.
"Huh? Who is that someone, Mikan-nee-chan?" He asked, curiosity was in his voice.
"I don't know her name but I think she's the same age like you. She's too cold. Ice cold. I even shivered because of her glare." Conan eyes widen. If his thought was correct, then…
No way. Don't tell me it's…
CHAPTER 2: Revelations
"Eh! Where are we going now, Mikan-nee-chan?" Conan asked because Mikan suddenly dragged him away.
"I'm going to tour you around the academy! You didn't seem to be a bad kid anyway!" Mikan replied with a smile.
"But – I want to meet that someone from Beika Street too!" Conan pleaded.
"Later Conan-kun." Conan sighed and let the stranger drag him. While Conan was looking around, Mikan eyed him sneakily.
'There's something about this kid. But he doesn't look like a spy or something.' Mikan thought.
"Ne, Conan-kun, do you know what kind of place you are in now?" She asked, still dragging him to who-knows-where.
"Huh? Of course! I'm in a very elite academy! A very huge, elegant and awesome school!" Conan answered acting like he was really a child.
"That's all?" Mikan asked again. She suddenly stopped on walking.
"Yeah, it's my first time here anyway. My father suddenly sent me here." Conan explained.
"Then you don't know?" Conan was intrigued at the sudden question of Mikan. He saw Mikan kneeled on the ground so they were now in the same height.
"Eh? Is there something more?" Conan asked looking innocently at Mikan's eyes.
"Do you know what an Alice is?" Mikan asked again. She was observing the kid if he was lying or not. Conan blinked three times. Proof that he had no idea on what Mikan was talking about.
"Alice? That's a name of a girl right? And the name of the school is Alice Academy; maybe the first owner of this academy was named Alice." Mikan sweatdropped at Conan's answer.
'So this kid knows nothing?'
"That's not it Conan-kun. Alice is a special power that the students in this academy had like alice of flying which allows you to fly or alice of fire that allows you to use the fire at any way you want. And if you don't have one, you are not allowed to enter this school." Mikan explained and then stood up. Conan released a toneless laugh.
'Is this lady gone insane?'
Conan chuckled. "That was funny, Nee-chan."
"I'm not joking! That's the truth." Mikan defended. Unbeknownst to them, someone was watching them.
"I don't believe in fairytale and I'm too old to believe in something like that." Conan informed with incredulity in his voice.
"You call yourself old, eh, you just a seven-year old boy!" Mikan pointed out loudly. Conan covered his ears.
'She's too loud, really.'
"Stupid hag, that kid is an old man hiding in a kid's body." A kid voice boringly stated. Mikan knew this voice. She scanned the surrounding and saw the owner of the voice sitting in a branch of a nearby tree. His silver hair was swaying with the air and his jade color eyes were watching at them boringly.
"Y-You-chan! – Mou, I thought you're not going to call me hag anymore!" Mikan complained looking furiously at the kid sitting on the tree. It was Youichi Hijiri, a 10 years old kid studying in Alice Academy.
"I said 'I won't call you a hag only when we're talking together. Lying in front of somebody is bad right?" He replied lazily. Conan looked at Youichi and then to Mikan and then back to Youichi again.
"H-how did you know that?" Conan snapped in the middle of Mikan and Youichi's conversation. He saw Youichi jumped down the tree without breaking a sweat.
"It's very easy for me to tell." Youichi replied arrogantly.
"You know Conan-kun, You-chan had the alice of age control. He can easily distinguish the age of a person just by looking at them. He can even manipulate his age and appearance!" Mikan explained happily.
"He-he, I said stop joking around. That's too impossible." Conan muttered with disbelief.
"By the way hag, who's that old man?" Youichi asked walking near where Mikan and Conan were.
'Oi, oi. You're much older than me when I'm Conan!'
"He's Edogawa Conan; I just met him a while ago." Mikan replied and patted Conan's head.
Youichi signalled Mikan to come closer to him and lower her head. Mikan understood him and followed.
"That guy can be a spy." Youichi whispered in her ears. He glanced at Conan who was puzzled at that moment.
"No. He's not. I'm sure on it." Mikan whispered back. Youichi frowned.
"Well let's see." Youichi said with glint of evilness in his eyes.
Suddenly a huge number of ghosts appeared behind Youichi. Conan saw it and his eyes widen in fear.
"W-W-Wait! What was that? !" Conan screamed in terror. He saw, with his two wide eyes how Youichi managed to summon ghosts and spirits.
Suddenly the ghosts attacked Conan. Conan ran for his life. Wherever he ran the ghosts followed him. Youichi watched him with amusement written all over his bored face.
"W-w-what the? This is nightmare! This is not true!" Conan thought. But the ghosts kept on following him.
Waaaa-! ! !"
"Youichi! Stop it!" Mikan tried to intervene on what was happening.
Conan tripped. He shut his eyes and waited for the impact of the ghosts attack. But…
"What the?" Youichi growled in disappointment.
The ghosts disappeared.
"Mou! You finally stop You-chan!" Mikan sighed in relief. She immediately ran to where Conan is.
"Tch. Using your nullification to ruin my fun. Such a joy killer." Youichi cursed and then walked away.
When Mikan absorbed what Youichi said she suddenly stopped…
"Eh? I didn't even use it!" Mikan yelled but Youichi was not there anymore.
Mikan approached Conan who was currently sitting on the ground, panting and his eyes still wide open. She kneeled down and touched his shoulders, gently shaking him.
"Conan-kun, are you okay?" Mikan asked in worry.
No response. She shook him a little harder but he still didn't response.
'What the hell? What the hell was that? How in the world that kid can summon a lot of ghost? Maybe I'm dreaming. Yeah. That's it. This is a nightmare.'
"You're not dreaming, Conan-kun." Mikan suddenly said to him in low voice.
Conan gawked at Mikan, shivering. "Eh? How did you – ?"
"I've read your mind. You know, at first, I suspected you as a spy from outside because I can't read your mind but now, I believe that you don't know anything about this academy." Mikan explained and stood up.
"Damn, what happened to this world? What happening here is impossible!"
"But it's the truth." Mikan assured to him.
"Damn!" Conan stood up and immediately ran away. Mikan's eyes followed him.
She frowned. "Mou, what a careless kid! Running away like that!" Mikan said to no one and followed the path where Conan ran.
…
Conan stared at the large oak door of the headmaster's office. He gritted his teeth and opened the door, hard. It almost broke apart.
"Shinichi, don't break the door. That's -" Yuusaku was cut when Conan yelled really loud.
"What the hell is happening here? ! ! ! !" Conan boomed in fury. Yuusaku chuckled and looked at his son eye-to-eye.
"So you notice it now? Shinichi, this school is different from the others." Yuusaku started.
"Why does the kid I met a while ago can summon many ghosts? And a woman who can read my mind? Is this some kind of reality show? !" Conan stomped where his father was and slammed his hands on his father's table. "It's not funny anymore!" Conan added. Yuusaku kept calm and composed.
"Shinichi, calm down. This is not a joke. What you see is the truth. There are really some people that have powers like that." Yuusaku explained once again in calm voice.
"Powers? That can only happen in stories!" Conan said, still furious.
"Well then, just think that you are inside a story because Shinichi, all the students, faculty or anyone you saw here have their own alices or their powers." Yuusaku added. Conan sat on the couch his hands holding his head.
"This is insane. Since when did you discover this?" Conan asked in low tone. Yuusaku could feel that his son was trying hard to believe him.
"That's not important anymore, but I must say, it's a long, long time ago."
"Does that mean, I also have… I have an alice or whatever you call that…just like them?" Conan asked and stared at his father seriously. He needed an answer. He needed it badly.
Silence.
Yuusaku saw how determine his son was. He stood up and approached Conan from behind and patted him on shoulders.
"You will find out soon, but you know son, your knowledge is the greatest power you had." Yuusaku informed.
Conan sighed heavily. "I see, so this is really not a joke at all. I really need to study here because… because I need to know, what mystery lies in this academy. I'll definitely find it out!" He said with determination and stood up.
Yuusaku flashed a satisfied smile. That was his son, Kudo Shinichi.
Conan was about to leave the headmaster's office but…
"Sakura-san was waiting for you outside. It's time to convince her to bring you to that someone that also came from Beika Street." Yuusaku advised. Conan turned his head and flashed an annoying smirk on his father.
"Yeah. Of course I'll do that." But his smirk immediately disappeared when he realized what his father had said.
His jaw dropped. "Wait, how did you know about that? !" Conan asked in shock.
Yuusaku laughed. "I'm always watching you, Shinichi."
…
"Mou! Why didn't you tell me immediately that you are the headmaster's son?" Mikan pouted. Conan already convinced Mikan to bring him to that girl from Beika St. and now they were on their way.
"Well, you didn't ask Mikan-nee-chan." Conan replied in a-matter-of-fact tone.
"I even suspected you as a spy from outside. So, so, what's your alice?" Mikan excitedly asked.
Conan shrugged. "Who knows, I also want to know if I really have one."
"You're the son of the headmaster! It's impossible if you don't have one."
"Well, that's one of the mystery I need to discover. By the way, what's your alice Mikan-nee?" Conan asked her.
Mikan smiled widely. "Well, I have the nullification which can nullify any alices! And the SCE which allows me to steal, copy or erase an alice." She replied cheerfully.
Conan's mouth formed and 'O' shape in amazement. "Wow! Awesome! So, basically you can have any alices you want." He said and beamed at her.
"Yes! That's right! That's why I'm able to read your mind a while ago."
"Eh? You're powerful Mikan-nee-chan. I wonder if I really had one, I'm excited to know! This is unbelievable but I guess I'll enjoy this."
Mikan's face saddened. "It's no fun at all." She mumbled.
"Huh?" Conan didn't hear her.
"Nothing. Well, let's go to that girl from Baker St." Mikan said, back to her cheerful self again.
They continued walking until they reach another big building. Conan was amazed. There are robots as guard of the building. They approached the entrance and the robot gladly lead them the way.
"This is really an amazing academy."
"This building is the science and technology building. My best friend's laboratory is here and I visit her almost everyday so the guards already know me."
They continued to walk for another minute until they reach their destination.
"Chemistry Area?" Conan read the sign hanging on the big metal door.
They entered a room and there was a girl with blue long hair and blue eyes mixing chemicals inside.
"Nonoko-chan! Hello!" Mikan greeted.
"Oh, Mikan-chan, what brought you here, and who's that cute kid?" Nonoko asked pointing at Conan.
"This is Conan-kun, Nonoko-chan where is the cold little girl you met a day ago?" Mikan looked around but she didn't see her.
"Ah, actually…" Nonoko didn't finished what she was saying…
Conan felt a warm breath in his left ear. "What are you here, Edogawa-kun?" It was a bored and cold tone that was so familiar to him.
Conan turned his head around and saw the expressionless face of the caramel-blonde haired girl standing behind him.
"I know it. It's you."
