I do not Detective Conan...
Although I wish I did.
I greatly appreciated the number of reads/comments/follows/favorites I received...
Thank you guys!
Here's the 2nd chapter for my 2nd fanfiction here!
~~~
"Edogawa-kun, stop it! They might still be around!" Haibara whispered.
Inhale...
Exhale...
Inhale...
Conan released the kid and tried to even his breathing.
Meanwhile, the other three children seemed to be dumbfounded.
Ayumi found her words first, "That isn't Heiji-niichan."
"You're right." Haibara muttered. "He isn't. Conan-kun just made a mistake."
The three children neared the kid and spoke tender words, while the kid just stared at them in wonder.
Haibara brought Conan a little distance away from the others.
"Conan-kun, beware of what you say! If those kids believe that he is Heiji, they may get suspicious of you being Shinichi!"
"I know! But all these times... The Organization remains hidden and is still doing this kind of thing."
"And it seems like The Organization is mixing something else with the apotoxin. This effect isn't even on my notes."
"Don't act so calm now!"
"I know it's dangerous! I have been running from them because I know them! They're vile creatures!"
Conan went to Agasa. "Hakase!"
Agasa was shocked a little. "Eh, what is it, Conan-kun?"
Conan tried his cutest voice. "Professor, I want to bring Heiji-nii... This kid with us! He seems very sad!"
Agasa moved closer to Conan and whispered, "But we might be mistaken here, Shinichi. Why would they target him?"
Conan whispered back, "I don't know, Professor. But this is urgent! Haibara will figure something out!"
Agasa nodded grimly.

IN AN APARTMENT ROOM
"Eh?" Mouri looked at Conan's company. "I think I see another brat with your number."
"Oji-san, he's just lost. We'll take care of him for a little time," Conan said.
"But I wouldn't do it!"
"You do not need to help, Oji-san."
"Fine enough," Mouri muttered as he stared with bored eyes at the kid. "By the way, what is his name? He looks like that -"
"It's Yoshi Kamui, Uncle!" Conan stated.
"Weird name." And Kogorou began smoking, taking his attention away.
"That's unfair, Conan-kun! Yoshi-kun wouldn't even speak to us," Ayumi grumbled.
"How did you get his name?" Mitsuhiko asked.
Conan thought quickly. "By chance, guys! After I gave him a candy?"
"Candy?! Why didn't you give us some?" Genta muttered.
"Well, Yoshi needed it more."
"Ran-chaaan?" A woman's voice was getting louder and louder. "Ran-chaaan?"
Conan suddenly became worried. 'That's Kazuha! She has known Heiji since he was small! This is bad!'
He turned to Kogorou again, "Oji-san! Where is Ran-neechan's things?"
"Right behind the door, the cabinet nearby."
"And where is the toilet?" Conan spoke frantically.
"It's next to this room."
'Outside?! I gotta hurry!'
Conan held Yoshi's hand, who cried a little from the sudden pull, and reached Ran's little bag.
Conan went for the toilet quickly, leaving very puzzled expressions on everyone's faces.
"Ran-chaaan?"
Kazuha entered the room.
"Oji-san, have you seen Ran-chan?"
"Ah, she's outside doing some shopping."
"Why didn't she invite me?"
Then, Kazuha noticed the other's expressions.
"Eh... What happened here?"
"Conan-kun dashed to the toilet with Yoshi-kun," Ayumi answered.
"Who's Yoshi?"
"Another brat that the brats brought," Mouri informed.
'We're not brats!" Genta muttered, a little hurt.
"He's not a brat! He's just lost!" Mitsuhiko stated.
"Oh! Can I see him?" Kazuha asked.
"I think it's not a problem," Ayumi told her.
Kazuha reached for the doorknob when Haibara spoke, "Kazuha-neechan! Let's just wait for him!"
"Huh, why is that?"
"I think Conan's just treating a wound of Yoshi."
"Eh? Then, let me help!"
"I'm sure he can do it alone. Plus, let Yoshi-kun know Conan-kun, eh?"
"Okay..."
Haibara wondered what was going on in everyone's mind. And what Conan is doing to Heiji...

TOILET
"Hattori! You really don't remember anything?"
"What?"
"This is not fun..." Conan muttered as he rummaged Ran's bag.
Conan found something. "Oh, lucky!"
Conan turned to Heiji. "Close your eyes. You'll be turning into a real Yoshi now."
The kid followed...
A lot of coughing, and a little argument, vibrated on the toilet's walls.
- - -
"What is Conan doing? He's taking too long," Kazuha wondered.
Then the door opened. Everyone, except Kazuha, was shocked.
"Yoshi-kun?!" three children shouted.
Conan hurried to them and whispered, "Guys, quiet! I'll explain later. Please be quiet for now."
"Your explanation better be worth it," Mitsuhiko said.
And they came to an agreement.
Kazuha went to the kid. "This kid is just so cute! What shocked you guys?"
"Well, Yoshi-kun seems to be friends with Conan-kun already," Ayumi said.
"He's smiling like an idiot! What game did you guys do?" Genta asked.
Mouri spoke. "What happened to his - Uhh... oh, zzzzzz"
(That happened because Conan stunned him using his watch.)
'Excellent!' Conan thought. 'Everyone is doing great on acting!' Conan grinned.
"Kazuha-neechan! Why are you here?" Conan asked.
"I was searching for Ran-chan." Kazuha knelt and spoke to the kid, "And what could your name be?"
"Yoshi Kamui, Kasua-neechan," Yoshi replied slowly.
"It's Kazuha, little boy! That's funny! You look a lot like my friend, Heiji!"
"That couldn't be, Kazuha-neechan! Look, his skin is so much lighter than Heiji-niichan's!"
"Oh, right! But isn't he adooooorable? Where did you find him?"
"Outside a clothes store near Tsuuten Tower."
"Oh, Heiji ran away from me near that place! And he still hasn't returned. At least, a cute little blessing came to my eyes. Kawaii!" And Kazuha coddled the kid.

(Conan, Haibara and Agasa)
"Who would have thought you'd use powder to hide his identity? A lot of powder, in fact," Haibara wondered.
"Eh, what should be our next step, then?" Agasa said.
"We need to make Heiji remember everything," Conan said.
"Are you two sure he is Heiji?"
"Not yet, Professor, but it's better this way," Haibara said.
"Plus, Kazuha said Heiji's been missing," Conan continued.
"Then, could we just post pictures of the kid to make sure?" Agasa asked.
"That would be the worst suggestion you ever made. Because if The Organization really did this and suspect something about his pictures, he'll be dead by a day," Haibara said grimly.
"Ohh..."
Conan wondered what to do. 'Is it possible that a friend and rival would just become a kid? What if he never remembers? It would be as if Heiji just disappeared...'
'Like I did.'
Conan looked around and saw Ran, who was playing with the now-little Heiji.
'They have no idea.'

BY AFTERNOON
"Kazuha-chan, it's our time to go," Ran said.
"Thank you for your time, Ran-chan!" Kazuha called Kogorou, "And thanks for letting me join the event, Oji-san!"
"Sure thing. Uhh... Can you take care of this kid here? This Yoshi-kun?"
"I'll be glad to. But I don;t know who his relatives are."
"I'll help with that."
Conan put a hand on his mouth in realization. 'I gotta do something!'
"Haibara, stall them! Do not let Kazuha keep Heiji!" Conan whispered then ran away.
Haibara sighed.
"Wouldn't it be better if we keep the kid?"
Everyone looked at Haibara.
"Because Yoshi-kun has friends in our place."
Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko nodded their approval.
Kazuha thought for a while. "Let's see... But this is where Yoshi was lost. I think he lives here."
"We'll return him if we have found some clues."
"Now, that would be inconvenient for you, people! You would need to return here again and find-"
A phone rang loudly. Everyone politely became quiet.
It was Ran's phone.
'Shinichi?' Ran thought. Her thoughts were confirmed when he heard the voice.
"Ran, are you there?"
"Shinichi, why do you call suddenly?" Ran spoke, a little louder than she meant to.
"Ah, I just wanted to say have a nice day and I hope to see you again."
"That's kinda-," Ran said more softly. "Thank you, Shinichi. I do hope we meet again."
"That case done, can I talk to your father?"
"Wh-what about Otou-san?"
"I have some information for him."
"Oh... Okay, Shinichi."
Ran showed the phone to her father. "Otou-san, it's for you."
"Who is it?"
""It's Shinichi! Shinichi says he's got something for you."
"That detective brat! Give it to me." Mouri took the phone. "Hello, Mouri Kogorou here."
"Oji-san, I heard there is a lost kid on Osaka. A mother has been trying to find him since yesterday. She gave me some information. The child has a light skin color, a little spiky hair, and blue eyes. If you ever see -"
"EHHH?! THAT CHILD IS WITH US THIS MOMENT!"
"That's a good thing then, Oji-san. Please meet the mother on your Agency by tomorrow morning. I'm sure this would be easily settled."
"Wait a minute. Why would she be in Beika when she lost her son on O-"
"Take care." Shinichi dropped the phone.
"O.. oi!"
Kogorou returned Ran's phone. "Guess we'll be keeping the child this day. That detective brat says the child's mother is in Beika. Well, farewell!"
"Bye again, Ran-chan! Thank you guys!" Kazuha waved goodbye.
Everyone gave a polite farewell, too. Including Yoshi-kun.
