WE NO OWN DETECTIVE CONAN OR SHERLOCK HOLMES

Mind Palace Walking

I looked over to Sherlock to see my friend lost in deep thought about something as we made our way to school. His eyes were distant and his eyebrows creased in thought, his feet on knowing where to step at the exact same time.

"Sherlock." I said, trying to catch his attention. I didn't even get a grunt in responds since he was so lost in thought. "Sherlock." I repeated but a little louder this time. I sighed in frustration as I got no reply back, yet again. I really needed to talk to him about zoning out on the way to school. It was really boring without someone to talk to.

"John! Sherlock!" I heard someone yell behind us. Sherlock again didn't take notice as I looked behind us to see our friend Irene Adler running up to us. "What's up?" she asked once she caught up.

"Hey Irene." I greeted her with a kind smile. "Just trying to figure out what planet Sherlock came from. I'm sure I got it right this time." Irene laughed a little, and then looked at Sherlock to notice that he was in his 'mind palace' yet again.

"I'm not sure Sherlock is from a planet." she mused. "I think he was created but a mess up happened somewhere resulting in the Sherlock we have right now." We shared a little laugh at that, Sherlock not once looking up at us from his concentration.

"Anything interesting lately?" I asked, changing the subject. Irene shrugged a little in responds.

"Not really other than hanging out with Ran and Sonoko." I scrunched my nose up in slight annoyance. I wasn't really fond of Sonoko all that much. That girl just somehow managed to annoy me, but I had to admit that she had at least one good quality about her, no matter how hard it was to believe. Sherlock was no better with her. Whenever he saw the teenager, he would turn on his heels and leave, not sparing a second look at her, Sonoko not really minding at all.

"How's Ran doing?" I asked, Irene chuckling a bit about how I didn't asked about Sonoko.

"She's doing good, Conan-kun-a kid that lives with her-has apparently been trying to get into her dad's cases a lot more than usual." I scoffed, the kid sounding much like Sherlock.

"Is he by any chance Sherlock's long lost younger brother?" I asked, looking at her with a raised eyebrow.

"You would think so, but no. He's actually the cousin of the famous high school detective, Kudo Shinichi, you know, the one who hasn't been active lately?" she asked, giving me a quick glance. I nodded, remembering when the high school detective was all over the news about all the cases he has solved. Whenever he had come on, Sherlock turned off the TV saying that he could do better before walking off.

"Yeah, I think Sherlock's secretly jealous of him." I mused.

"Sherlock being jealous of someone? Now that is something I want to see." she admitted with slight disbelief.

"You and me both."

Once we reached the school grounds, Sherlock seemed to snap out of his mind palace and look around to see we were already at school. I was almost about to say something when I notice him freeze in spot and turn to walk away. I was a bit confused as to why Sherlock would do that because I knew he only did that to one person.

"Hey Irene!"

He saw Sonoko.
