Chapter 1: Naomi
Hey, over here! We found a body!
"It's too late...he's dead," the officer frowned as he checked for a pulse.
"Hey wait, that kid looks familiar," another one said as he examined the body. When realization hit him, his eyes widened. "Oh boy..."
"What? What is it?"
"This is...this is Shinichi Kudou!"
"What?" the second officer exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise. "Crap... so it is..." he said, getting a closer look.
"Where in the world is Nii-chan?"
A teen-age girl exclaimed as she waited impatiently for her twin brother. This girl is Kudou Naomi (工藤直美), Shinichi's twin sister. She had expressive blue eyes that look like her brother's, and she had long brown-black tresses that curl at the end like her mother's. Her name, which was decided upon her birth by both Yuusaku and Yukiko, means honesty (直), and beauty (美). The way she writes her name also suits her; because the Kanji直 is usually used on males, and Naomi is a tomboyish girl.
Only a handful of friends and relatives know that Shinichi has a twin sister. This due to the fact that Naomi rarely engages in social activities that the Kudous usually go to. Another fact is that Naomi attends Beika Girls' High School and not Teitan during their freshman year in high school. She just transferred to Teitan this school year. So imagine their classmates' surprise when they found out that Shinichi actually has a twin sister.
She was in the kitchen cooking supper for them as she continued on complaining about him.
"That guy! I really hate him. He promised to me that he would be home before 8 pm. And now look at the time! It's already 5 minutes past nine and he's still not here. He's really gonna get it from me by the time he gets back! Jeez! How many times do I have to tell him to be more responsible?" She didn't know yet that something sinister happened to him that will change her whole life forever.
