Chapter 2:

Shinichi's POV:

"Sigh…school is such a bore. Why on earth do I have to listen to redundant stuff that I already know? This is wasting my time… He stopped at the classroom door. I keep thinking that I have forgotten something…o yeah…right! I was supposed to go to this friend of mom's right? Now…where did mom say she wrote their address? O yes…my diary." He dived into his school bag, and after a few minutes of rummaging, he finally fished out his old diary. "Let's see…hmmm…Greenville road, apartment 12 eh? Guess I'll just have to go home first, and pack up before popping at Greenville apartment." Sighing again, (Author's note: sorry…I'm fond of making people sigh…heehee) he slung his bag over his shoulders, and dashed to his home.

End of Shinichi's POV

Shiho's POV:
She was at her office already, after escaping tons of boys eager to have her contact particulars. She kneaded her temples, and settled down at her chair. Suddenly, her cell phone rang. Letting out a half-hearted sigh, she pressed the listen button. It was Akemi.

"Hey my lil' sis. How was school...i mean…how was work? Remember the boy I told you we were taking care of? Yea, he's supposed to move into our house today. If possible, could you leave work early, and come home to prepare a surprise for him?"

Shiho let out a bated breath. Her sister had told her about the boy before, but she had never thought he would come so soon. She stammered back into the phone, desperately trying to make up an excuse not to be part of her "surprise party". "But today's my first day at work…I don't think it'll be nice to leave so early…"

"Oh…about that, actually, I've spoken to your school principal. He has generously decided to let you off early already. Any more excuses sis? If not…just remember to reach home at five o'clock sharp. Bye Shiho!"

Shiho stared at the blank screen. Trust her sister to be so cunning. She looked at the clock on her mantelpiece and groaned inwardly. Five o'clock! Now was already four-thirty! She glanced down at her pile of unmarked assignments, and debated on whether to disappoint her sister or to obey her orders. She decided on the latter. The imaginary look of disappointment on Akemi's face was already enough to convince her on what to do. Heaving herself off her chair, she gathered her belongings…and made her way to her car.

End of Shiho's POV

Shinichi's POV:

He gazed down at his suitcase, letting out a frustrated hiss. He didn't want to take more than one suitcase, but looking at the cramped pace in his suitcase, he knew he had to. After throwing more items into a knapsack, he hired a cab, and made his way to Greenville Apartment, where his new home lay.

Shortly after reaching his destination, he tipped the cabbie, and calmly took a lift to the twelfth storey. He snuck a peek at his watch. "Four-fifty…hmm…I'm not late. Mother said the meeting time was five…" The ringing of the lift's bell, signaling that he had reached his destination interrupted his train of thoughts. Swinging his suitcase dangerously, he approached the apartment. He carefully smoothed his tie, and checked his attire. His mother had bothered to send his a message, asking him to dress well, and had actually prepared a suit of clothes for him to wear. Taking a deep breath, he braced himself, and knocked on the door.

"Welcome Shinichi!" A beautiful, tall woman greeted him. He immediately warmed up to her cheery greeting, and his mouth twitched into a big smile. "Come in come in! I suppose you're the son of Yukiko right? What a handsome son she has! I look forward to you staying with us. And to introduce myself, I'm Akemi Miyano. No…don't be formal. Just call me Akemi, and that will do." She paused for a while, before ushering him into one of the three rooms in the apartment. "Don't pack first, you can pack after dinner, because I suppose you are hungry. O, yeah, I also have a sister living with me…but apparently she has not knocked off her work yet." She looked at Shinichi, and smiled. "I'll leave you to get accustomed to your room first. When my sister returns home, we'll have our dinner right away. I hope you are fine with western food right?" Shinichi nodded. Western food! Yum! He had always loved western food, since it contained substantial differences from the usual Japanese meals he had. Akemi smiled, and slowly backed out of the room. Shinichi looked around, and started to unpack a few of his things. As he was very conscious of his attire, he seized the moment to quickly sneak a peek at his own reflection, and decided to change into another outfit. " I don't want to look dumb in front of my new guardians…hmmm…mother says they are really fashion-conscious.." He hurriedly decided to fumble in his clothes for a new look, and after ten minutes of changing, he looked into the mirror, and saw an extremely immaculate Kudo Shinichi. Just then, Akemi's voice could be heard from the living room. "Shinichi, come out and meet my sister!" He immediately stepped out of his room. Just as he closed his door, a faint gasp could be heard from behind. He spun around, and nearly fainted. His palpitations increased, and he nearly took a double take when he looked at the bearer of the gasp…for right in front of him…was his new teacher, Miss Miyano.
