Third Person POV
Shinichi arrived at the detective agency.
First he called Ran to meet him downstairs. Within seconds he was in an embrace with her. He can tell that she missed him dearly, but feels guilty about what he's gonna do to her.
Ran finally released him a few minutes later.
Shinichi then asked Ran on a date.
Ran at first blushed and stood there in shock, but finally accepted after she came back to her senses.
The date went well. He first took her to a festival, then to a movie, and finally they stopped for dinner at a famous French restaurant.
"Ran there's something I need to tell you." Shinichi said after both of them were seated.
"What is it?" Ran asked happily. She was still enjoying the date not realizing the truth behind this date.
Shinichi didn't want to break her heart, but he has no choice. If he doesn't the Black Organization would go after her.
"Ran I'm sorry." Shinichi said.
"What do you mean?" Ran asked. She was curious to know why Shinichi apologized to her randomly.
"This is probably the last time I'm ever gonna see you." Shinichi hesitantly said.
Suddenly her face expression immediately changed. It turned dark and gloomy as soon as he said those words.
"WHY!" Ran angrily said.
She was demanding an explanation out of him as she grabbed him by the collar.
Shinichi didn't react at all. He stared at her and remained silent not knowing how to reply.
"It's another girl isn't it?" Ran growled as she turned away from him.
"Don't misunderstand Ran." Shinichi stuttered. "It's nothing like that."
He knew that he has to lie. If he told her that part of the reason for his leave is for Shiho or Ai, she'll flip.
"THEN WHY? TELL ME!" Ran shouted.
Shinichi sighed. It's now or never.
'Let's get this over with.' He thought.
"It's the case Ran. The case I've been working on is a big one. It's one that the FBI and CIA have trouble solving. They warned me that a case like this contain dangers beyond belief before I participated. But I ignored their warnings and joined anyways." Shinichi paused and looked at Ran. She wouldn't even look at him in the eye. Then he reluctantly continued.
"The case is about protecting a top tier scientist that contain knowledge that can change the world. And certain people are after her. So the job that is assigned to me is to protect her. In the beginning it was fine. We had locations where we hide but now all of them are discovered. We have nowhere to hide anymore. And there are dangerous guys out there that are hunting me and my client down. There's a chance I'm gonna die Ran." Shinichi said.
"Then stop. Do it for me and leave the case alone please." Ran pleaded. She was on the ground now begging.
"I can't. It's not my style to leave a case uncompleted. Plus even if I did stop, they'll still track me down. And when they do everyone close to me might suffer as well. So please understand Ran. It's not just about me." Shinichi said.
"But I love you. I loved you ever since we met. I'll wait for you even if it's gonna take decades." Ran said. Tears started to form.
"Then stop it. I don't want you to waste your time waiting for a man that is on the verge of death. I want you to be happy Ran. I want to enjoy life with you family, friends, and possibly another man. I know that this is tough, but you have to move on. I've already hurt you so much, and I don't want to hurt you even more." Shinichi said.
Finally tears rolled down her cheeks. Shinichi wanted to go comfort her, but he knew he'll do more damage than good.
He looked at his watch. It was 5:50, he better return to Hakase's house before turning back into Conan. If he isn't back soon Haibara would kill him.
"It's time for me to leave Ran. I'm leaving Tokyo for good. It's the last time I'm ever gonna be here. Most of my best memories are with you. I hope you move on." Shinichi said as he left the table and headed towards the exit.
Soon after a hand grabbed him. It was Ran.
"Promise me you're coming back." Ran said sobbing.
"I can't make a promise I can't keep Ran. But I'll do my best. But promise me something though. Don't tell anybody about the case I told you. Everybody that you tell would be in danger. I want to take full responsibilities for my actions. I don't want others to suffer because of me." Shinichi said with a serious tone.
And with that Ran let him go. She knew what type of person Shinichi is, and there is no way for her to change his mind.
As he walked away, she knew this might be the last time she's ever gonna see him. Her quiet sobs turn into cries. It echoed down streets, but were covered up by the noise of the busy city.
'Goodbye Ran. I hope you forgive me, and start a new life.' Shinichi thought knowing that he, himself, have the to the same. To move towards his new life.
Once he arrived at Hakase's he reached for the door knob. But something stopped him immediately from twisting it.
Shinichi was aware that this door represents his past life and new life. Once he enters he can never return.
'I have no regrets.' Shinichi thought as he entered with a smile on his face.
Not my best chapter. I at least made 4 rough draft. I hate writing about Ran and Shinichi. It's not in my blood. I'm better suited in writing ShihoxShinichi or AixConan. This chapter is boring but the next one is even better. Enjoy. Thanks for all the review. Give any suggestions if you like.
