Disclaimer: I don't own Detective Conan.
What's up? My summer's been really good lately and I'm having so much fun writing this. It's play PS4 in the morning, play laptop in the afternoon and write story in the evening. The reason this is Rated M is because, obviously, a lemon will occur. But, you can't read it yet. I'll put it up near the middle of this story. If you like my story, please fave and give a review. If you do, I'll be more than happy to write with more work. And if get happy from the number of faves my fanfic's reached, I'll definitely write a sequel. With that taken care of, enjoy this chapter!
Conan woke up to the loud sound of the ship stopping at the harbor. He slept early last night, not having any thing for dinner and just went to his bedroom that he shared with Uncle Mouri. Haibara, surprisingly, spied on him when he skipped dinner. She wanted to see if Conan was really going to sleep.
Last night...
"Conan-kun, do you like Haibara-san?" asked Ayumi.
Conan spun her around and said, "Of course not. We're just friends."
"But it looked like you were going to kiss—"
"I wasn't going to kiss her, okay? I was just going to whisper something to her ear."
"What were you going to say?"
"I was going to say 'Do you like Mitsuhiko?'".
"Oh, I get it." Afterwards, Conan dipped her so low and Ayumi blushed. She broke her eye contact with him until Conan brought her up again.
After a few more minutes of having fun, Ran went to the kids. "Come on, kids. We're having dinner. I'll call Dad and Hattori's mom. Heiji-kun and Kazuha-chan will lead you to our table."
Before Ran could leave the kids, Conan walked up to her. "Conan-kun, what's the problem?" she asked.
"I don't want to eat. I'm going to sleep early, Ran-neechan," said Conan.
"Why?"
"I'm just not hungry. Don't worry, Ran-neechan, I'll eat a lot tomorrow."
"Um… All right. Go on."
"See you tomorrow, Ran-neechan!" he exclaimed. Before he walked out the door. He turned around with a sad look and stared at the face of Haibara, who was wide-eyed at the moment, before walking out.
"Who was he staring at?" Kazuha whispered.
"I have no idea," Heiji replied. He set his eyes upon Haibara, and thought about his friend. 'Kudo, I wish you luck with this girl. Be sure to make me the best man on your wedding.' "Okay, kids! Let's go have dinner."
Heiji's voice snapped the Detective Boys' out of their trance. All of them, except Haibara, yelled "Yeah!"
"I hope they have Grilled Eels with Rice!" said Genta as they followed the detective.
"I hope every food there is delicious!" exclaimed Mitsuhiko.
Haibara, who was at the back, kept staring at the door since earlier. 'Kudo-kun, what's wrong with you? Is the Organization bothering you? Whatever it is, I'll figure it out."
After eating dinner for half an hour, Ran looked at her watch. It was 7:38 PM. "Kids, your free to do whatever you want until 9:00. After that, we'll all go to bed. Hawaii's waiting for us tomorrow." All of the kids nodded in response, then went off. Ran had to carry Mouri back to his room, because he had fallen asleep after a long drinking session. Kazuha and Heiji went to the front deck to enjoy the view.
While the group was walking, Haibara silently snuck away. She went down the stairs to the bedrooms and looked inside Conan's room. He was already asleep. She went to the side of the bed and looked at the sleeping boy. 'Damn, he's cute when he's a child, and handsome as a teen. Kudo-kun, if you really love me, you're gonna have to prove it. I'm not some girl who likes to be with people. We both know that the two of us wanted to kiss earlier, so you have a chance at me.' She then walked out the room to find the others.
End of Flashback
Conan looked out his window, and saw the beautiful green island. There was a meium-sized volcano in the middle and lots of trees are on the borders. He instantly realized they were there. 'All right! Now, time to find out where that meeting will be taking place and who that officer is,' he thought.
He changed his pajamas to a green polo shirt and pants. Then he silently walked out the door, trying to prevent Uncle Mouri from waking up. Conan let out a sigh of relief but then,
"Hey, Conan. Where are the others?"
Conan turned to face him.
"They told me they're waiting for us at the restaurant. You gotta hurry, Uncle."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," he replied as he yawned and stretched his back.
Once Conan went out, he went to the restaurant and saw his friends, Ran, Agasa-hagase, Heiji, Kazuha, Shizuka-san, and Haibara were already sitting at a big rectangular table. "Conan-kun, where's Dad?" asked Ran.
"He just woke up," replied Conan. "He'll be here any minute."
"Then hurry up and eat. You have to eat a lot, you slept early last night."
"Hai." Conan chomped down on his delicious breakfast, which was eggs and bacon with French toast and pancakes. He already got a taste of American food when Haibara treated him to a foreign restaurant called "Seattle's Best". When they ate there, Conan promised her that he'll be the one who'll treat her next time.
"Wow, Conan-kun. I never knew you like American food," said Mitsuhiko.
"Well, it can't be Japanese all the time," replied Conan. My aunt (psst, Yukiko Kudo), always made me eat at Western restaurants."
Halfway through his meal, Kogoro arrived and sat on the table to eat his ramen breakfast. "So what are you all planning to do today?" he asked.
"Me and Kazuha-chan are going to the beach," said Ran.
"Guess I'll just walk around," said Heiji.
"I'll just stay in the cottages," stated Agasa-hagase.
"We're going to explore the whole island!" said Genta.
"Mouri-san, I'll just go with the girls," said Shizuka-san.
"All right. After I'm finished eating, let's get our luggages down to the cottages."
After Kogoro finished his food, which took about ten minutes, they went to their rooms to get their things. Afterwards, when they finished transporting all their luggages at the house, each of them went off with their own intentions.
The Detective Boys went to the southern part of the island where Heiji kept an eye on them. As Ayumi and the other two had fun exploring the place, Conan spoke with Haibara.
"When and where do you think the meeting will take place?" Conan asked.
"I haven't had the slightest idea, but I know that the officer of the organization has a ring with a snake on it, and he wears an earring," replied Haibara.
"That just made it easier."
"Why do you say so?"
"Because he can be seen thoroughly by navigating through the bushes here."
"But they could still hear the rustling of leaves."
"Don't worry, the bushes are just a distraction. Because I'm planning to catch them off-guard. When they're investigating the leaves to see someone's there, we'll knock them out."
"My, my, your plans are always dangerous, Kudo-kun." Conan smirked. "Good thing they work. Come on, let's go join the others, before they start to get suspicious." Haibara went to their friends at the waters and Conan followed behind her.
"Conan-kun! Ai-chan!" Ayumi called. "Come on, let's play in the water!" The two looked at each other and sighed. Then they went with Ayumi and the others. Heiji silently laughed from the trees in satisfaction.
That night...
"Damn it, where the heck is that meeting taking place?!" Conan yelled.
"I don't know, Kudo-kun," said Haibara.
"If it's not here at the southern part, it also can't be on the northern part. That's where the people are! East and west aren't a good choice either, Those are the beaches. Where could it be?"
"Maybe the middle?"
"Don't joke around. A volcano is –" Conan cut off what he said and started to think hard. 'Hang on. No one would dare to look at a volcano. Then, could it be?!'
Conan held Haibara's hand, much to her shock, and they started to run back to the houses. "Where do you think you're going?!" she asked.
"I'm going to ask the locals a question. A really important question. Thanks, Haibara." The girl blushed and followed his lead.
Once they arrived back, they went to a nearby food stand. Conan, who was panting, asked the man who ran it, "Does the volcano still erupts?"
"No," the man replied. "In fact, it hasn't erupted at all. But, sometimes, people go inside it through a hole at the eastern side to enjoy the feeling of being inside one. Sadly, about a month ago, one or two tourists got attacked by spirits inside and they never got out. So nobody went inside it again."
"Arigatou. Come on, Haibara." They ran to the eastern side of the island and turned on their flashlight watches and started to look for the entrance.
"You're not scared of the spirits?" asked Haibara.
"Ahou. The reason someone died is because someone killed them or they got lost."
"I guess you're really hard to fool."
Conan continued their search for a few more minutes until they saw a black hole. It was the entrance and Conan immediately entered the volcano through it.
Haibara followed him, and to the pair's luck, the path had torches on the walls to keep track. They saw a dim light near the exit of the path, and Conan let out a smile of determination. 'We got you now. Your syndicate won't last long, that's for sure.'
Conan leaned further out but he was being careful on not to expose himself. Slowly, he began to pick up the voices of two individuals in the middle of the volcano.
"I expect our alliance would last for a time," said the man who wore a black polo with a red dragon design.
"I've talked to the boss, looks like we'll have some new friends," said the other who donned a black coat with a fedora.
'Which one of them's the one from the organization?' Conan thought. 'What did the other guy mean by that? Don't tell me there's another syndicate we have to deal with!'
"See you at the transactions, Tequila of the Black Organization."
"Likewise, Ryujin from the Dragon Syndicate."
Conan and Haibara were shocked and frozen in place when they saw the two shook hands. But it wouldn't last long. "What are you kids doing in there?!" a person yelled from outside.
Tequila and Ryujin looked on all sides of the volcano. They both drew out their guns, and tried to draw out whoever was spying on them.
"Come on, Haibara!" Conan whispered. He immediately took her hand and ran straight out to the exit.
Ran put her hands on her hips and asked with anger, "What were you two doing in there?"
"Ran-neechan, we just got lost," said Conan with a grin.
"Come on, you two." She gestured for them to follow her. "Everyone's been looking high and low for you both."
As they hiked back, Conan took the opportunity to speak with Haibara. "Did you knew about that other organization?"
"No. That was the first time I ever heard of them."
"That's just great. Another syndicate with crazy members that are on the loose."
"Kudo-kun, the man called Ryujin said that they have an alliance formed with the Black Organization, for now. It must mean that they are rivals, or they just don't like to meddle with each other's businesses."
"I'm fine with the first one. Still, how can we deal with two syndicates at once?"
"Maybe let's leave them to the authority."
"I'd like that. But damn. When we got there, the meeting was ending, we were too late."
"Don't worry, Kudo-kun. We've gathered enough information from them."
Tequila and Ryujin have finished searching the volcano. They absolutely have no idea who was trying to spy on them. "Tequila, that's enough searching," said Ryujin. "The voice earlier said that it was just some kids."
"Maybe you're right. Come on, let's get out of here." They withdrew their pistols and proceeded out the exit. As they are walking out, Tequila noticed a certain something on the ground. "You know, Ryujin, it wasn't kids."
"What are you talking about?"
"This." He held up the strawberry blonde strand of hair he picked up from the ground.
"So? It's just from the kid's hair."
"I know this hair and it wasn't a kid. It's a chemist." Tequila raised an eyebrow in confusion.
'Sherry, I'm sure my cousin will be delighted to see you,' Tequila thought.
