Thanks for the reviews Greene Finch and Kyuuki-sama. I try my best, and I'm glad that you liked that first chapter.

I had fun writing it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Meitantei Conan. It's that simple! Really people, what makes you think I would own it?!

Chapter two: Patience

To say Gin was impatient was an understatement.

There wasn't even a word for it.

It was a fact that Ai knew and understood fairly well from her years in the syndicate.

So, it didn't surprise her when the blonde began to dig his nails into his desk, doing his best to refrain from killing the three children that wouldn't stop talking.

"Otaktay-kun, how'd you get your hair so smooth and shiny?"

"Otaktay-kun, do you live around here?"

"Otaktay? What kind of stupid name is that?"

His eye twitched.

"Otaktay-kun!"

"Otaktay-kun!"

"Otaktay-kun!"

"What the hell do you want?!" He finally snarled, his face literally bright red with anger. Ayumi took a step back, slightly frightened by the sudden outburst.

"You can't talk to Ayumi-chan like that!"

"Says who?" Gin growled, narrowing his eyes, daring Mitsuhiko to argue with him.

Fortunately, the boy knew when to back off.

Unfortunately, Genta was stupid enough to try and stick up for his friends.

"You can't talk to my friends like that! Who do you think you are?!" He demanded angrily, though he received no answer.

Instead, he received a fist to the face.

Genta stumbled backwards, clutching his face.

Mitsuhiko and Ayumi gasped simultaneously, both rushing to their friend's side.

"Are you alright, Genta?!"

"Genta-kun, are you okay?!"

Gin smirked, fairly proud of his strength considering his current condition.

He was a little kid who packed a punch.

That made him feel a whole lot better about the situation.

"Otaktay!"

"What?!"

He turned his head and was greeted with a fist to the face, just like poor Genta.

He fell out of his chair, landing on the floor in an undignified heap.

Conan looked back and forth between Ai and Gin, surprise etched across his face.

He had just been about to slug the blonde…but Ai had beaten him to the punch.

Literally.

"Don't you ever lay a hand on them again. Got it?" She hissed, glaring down at him.

Gin nodded slowly.

"I hear you loud and clear, Sherry."

And he couldn't help but notice how sexy she looked when she was angry. They could have definitely pulled off the Master/Slave relationship when they were both adults.

Though…he was pretty sure she wasn't into kinky stuff like that…despite the fact she would've looked hot on a leash.

"What's with all the commotion?!"

Everyone in the class fell silent as Akira-sensei rushed into the classroom.

The first thing she took notice of was Genta, who was still clutching his face. The second thing she noticed was how Ai was towering over Gin. The third thing she noticed was that Gin was lying on the floor, looking up at the strawberry blonde in a sort of dazed amazement.

"What's going on in here?! I leave for five minutes to go get a bottle of water from the teacher lounge and I come back to this!"

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko quickly pointed an accusing finger at Gin.

"Otaktay-kun punched Genta-kun in the face!"

The teacher quickly turned her head towards the blonde, who was still lying on the floor.

"Get up, Otaktay-kun!"

He obeyed, pulling himself to his feet slowly.

"Did you really hit Genta-kun?!"

Gin muttered something inaudible.

"What was that, Otaktay-kun?!"

"Yes! I did! But they wouldn't shut the fuck up!"

Akira narrowed her eyes.

"Detention for a month!"

"What?! What did I do?!"

"First of all, you're not supposed to hit others. And you most certainly do not use that type of language with me, young man!"

"That's completely unfair! That bitch punched me and she isn't receiving any punishment!"

Deciding to let that one slide, Akira calmly asked, "Who punched you, Otaktay-kun?"

"She did!" He pointed an accusing finger at Ai.

"Is this true, Haibara-san?"

"…Yes, it is. But only because he hit Kojima-kun first. He deserved it."

And though she never thought she'd hear it coming out of her mouth, she issued Ai a month's worth of detention as well.

The girl only shrugged, having been expecting it.

Akira turned towards Genta.

"Are you okay, Genta-kun?"

He nodded.

"Good. Now, everyone please take a seat!"

No one else wanted to be in detention along with Ai and Gin, so they all did as they were told immediately.

Their Sensei nodded and continued on with the lesson as if nothing had ever happened.


As the bell rang, every kid in the class cheered loudly and rushed out of the classroom.

Well, every kid excluding Gin, Ai, and Conan.

The detective packed his bag slowly, watching the other two warily. He really didn't feel right leaving the shrunken scientist all alone with the blonde psychopath.

"You sure you going to be okay?"

She flashed him a witty smirk.

"Don't worry about me, Kudou-kun. I'll be fine. We're not going to be completely alone. Akira-sensei is still here."

Even with that assurance, he still felt slightly guilty as he walked towards the Detective Agency.

If anything happened…it would be all his fault.

End of chapter

That definitely wasn't like I had it planned out. I was actually just trying to get Gin through the school day without doing anything too bad so he wouldn't get in trouble…but as you can see, that didn't work out so well.
