Conan walked back into the living room were the kids were "oh Conan we asked and we can go what time should we be here?" Amy asked him. "9:30 we meet Fakir at 10. But we have to stop by Dr Augusta he has the time machine we need to get to Kin Kan Town were Fakir is. So please don't be late." "Will do see you then we should go home to get a good night sleep." "Ok good night. " Rachel and Conan went to bed to but Conan stayed up wondering why Fakir desperately need that pendent.

The next morning he and Rachel waited patiently for the others to show it was 9:15 still no show then 9:20 still no show till 9:25 the girls show up "Amy Ai I thought you forgot what we are doing today." "No silly Conan we would not forget were are the boys?" Amy asked. "I don't know they did not come with you?" Conan asked. "Nope let's call them on our badges." "Calling Mitch and George come in you too you are late." "Hm what time is it?" asked Mitch. "Its 9:25 we are suppose to meet at 9:30 now get your lazy bones over here before we go without you and solve the case." Anita told the two boys "Fine we are coming "Mitch told them. At 9:35 the two boys came and they all went to Dr Augusta's house to use the time machine. Once they got there they waked into the room were the time machine was it was a big room with a lot of different machines Dr Augusta walked up to the main controls and asked the kids " what time do you need to go?" "I don't know Dr but I do know it's a little town called Kin Kan Town if that helps." Conan told him. "Hmm well the machine does have a location option on it so you are in luck. Ok here goes nothing." He starts the machine and the group lands on the hard ground they hear water splashing the walk out of the machine and walk to a lake "the lake of despair" Conan told them. "What Conan?" Rachel asked him. "Fakir told me about this lake he said once you see the lake pass it till you see the dirt path." Conan told them "Ok then let's go." Mitch told them. They all walked till the see a dirt path. "Now where do we go Conan?" Amy asked. "Now we go left till we see an old crumbling gateway we go through till we

get to the middle of the town." Conan told them. "Ok then left it is." Rachel said. They walked in the forest for a while they did not see a crumbling gateway till Conan pointed it out "look there it is." They all looked and it was crumbled "wonder what happened?" They thought. They walked into the town it was a small little town but it did have the German feel to it there was small little cottage like buildings. Everyone passed with whispering as they looked at the group. They did not care the continued on, but they could hear kaking of black birds all around town. "What's with all the black birds? It feels like they are watching us. It's creepy." Amy told the group. "Don't worry we are close to Fakir's house Amy. We need to take a left on a curved path we will take that till we see a building called SMITHY that's Fakir house." Conan told Amy. They walked on till they saw a building they were looking for they knocked on the door but no one answered.

Meanwhile inside the house "Ahiru they will find the pendent, they are late where are they?" knock knock "they are here!" Fakir explained while dropping the little Ahiru duck to the ground. "Quack!" "Ahiru I'm sorry here." He picks her up and sets her on the rocking chair "Hid here in the blanket so they don't see you till I tell them. Ok?" Fakir asked the little duck. "Quack." "Coming!" "Wonder where he is? Maybe we should walk around and come back later? " Amy asked. "No I know he said he will wait for us. Ring it again Rachel." Conan told Rachel. "Ok." Ring ring. "Yes? Oh hello are you Conan?" Fakir asked "Yes these are my friends Amy, Ai, Mitch, George, and Rachel this is fakir the one who put the aid in the paper." Conan told his group.

May we come in?" Amy asked Fakir "Sure, would you like some hot chocolate or something to drink while I tell you about the case?" Fakir asked while they walked into the kitchen "Sure I would like hot chocolate" George. "Make that two please." Mitch. "I would like water please." Anita. "I would like hot chocolate too." Amy. "I am fine. What about you Conan?" Rachel. "Oh um water please." Conan. While the all seated at the table Amy was no were to be seen. She was in the living room. She was exploring the room which had the small coffee table with a large couch and a small rocking char. When she saw a lump on the old rocking chair she walked up to the rocking chair and saw the lump move, she jumped but continued walking toward it and lifted the coat to see a sleeping little yellow duck with a feather stinking out on her head. The little duck groggily awoke to see the little girl looking down at her when she quacked. Amy was so excited to see a little ducky that she yelled "Hey you guys there is a ducky over here come look."

Everyone went into the living room to see a startled but happy duck being patted by Amy. All the kids looked at the poor duck. The duck looked up at Fakir with a scared expression saying "HELP ME" Fakir walked past the kids and picked up Ahiru out of Amy's hands and spat at the kids "she is not a toy she is a real live duck and human too not from the wild. She is my friend/ pet. (Sorry Ahiru it was the quickest thing I could come up with, he though)" "She? She is cute!" Amy told Fakir. "Quack Quack (Fakir don't forget to tell them of the pendent missing that's why they are even here remember?)" "Yes you are right Ahiru, please let's go back into the kitchen and I will explain why you are here." Fakir told his guest. "Was he inteputing what the duck said? Something really mysterious is going on around this town.

It seems Fakir is keeping something from us." Conan thought. When he went to the kitchen he looked and Fakir was asking something of Rachel "Rachel have you read the story of the Prince and The Raven? " Fakir asked. "Why yes me and Jimmy read it our sophomore year in high school." "Well the story is alive if you may have noticed while in town there were a lot of crows? Well the story is alive and the town is cursed. This duck (he points to the duck on the table and everyone looks at her) is not only a duck but a human who can turn into princess tutu. Now back to the reason why you are all here. Ahiru is the duck's real name and she has this red tear drop pendent on her neck which she wears everyday even when she sleeps. Two nights ago her pendant was stolen in the middle of the night. I did not hear anything that night." Fakir told them. "May we see the scene of the crime? Conan asked leaning near the entrance to the kitchen with his hands in his pocket. "Sure."

They all walked out into the hall to the steps to the second floor and walked into the first door on their right. The room was a simple bedroom with a dresser desk with paper and a quill and in the center was a bed next to it was a night stand and down next to the bed was a handmade basket. "Fakir –sama can you recreate the seen of the crime please?" Fakir bend down to Conan level and ruffled his hair "Sure." He got up and went to his desk with the little yellow duck following him to her handmade basket and got in an pretended to sleep " it was about 9 pm when…" The little duck opened one of her blue eyes and "quacked (no it was more like 10:30)" Fakir gave a stern look at the duck but sighed "Fine 10:30 when I sat down at the desk and started writing stories I do this every night "He looked longing at the duck Conan thought he saw a deeper meaning behind the saying and the way he looks at the duck. He turned back to the group "This is my job now since last year I graduated from high school. I did not get to bed in till about 2am. Ahiru while I am writing always go to her handmade basket that me and my dad made for her. Before I go to bed that night I opened one of the windows to let fresh air in and then went to bed." Fakir told them.

Conan was exploring the room for clues but when Fakir was finished with the story he was at the window. He noticed a scratch under the window and a hand print on the window frame. "Fakir –sama was this hand print/ stact mark normally here?" He asked while pointing to them. Fakir and the group walked over to Conan and Fakir examined the area Conan was pointing to "no I have not seen those before." "Hmm no sound, a gloved hand print, and a size 8 foot print. That can only lead to only one culprit. Conan thought. He turned around to face the group "I got it!" Conan told them. "What do you find out Conan- kun?" Rachel asked. "I think I know the culprit, Rachel and Amy will you come with me to our world?" "Sure but why? Is there a big clue there?" Amy asked Conan faced her with a terminated look. "I will explain while we walk back to our world." Conan told her. They three left the room and ran down the stairs Amy was the last to walk out of the room Fakir shouted at them "Watch out for the ravens." Amy stopped and griped the door frame she turned back with a blush on her cute face and told Fakir "Don't worry we have Conan to protect us." Fakir could tell she liked Conan he looked over to the other two boys and they had their fist clenched. Fakir thought to himself "Conan better watch out for your other boys for your love." He looked down at the duck with loving look. Amy ran out and left through the front door.

The three walked back through the town and visited when the sunny day turned cloudy and they saw all these crows heading toward them. They had their backs to each other and when the crows were closing in on them they heard an evil laugh the turned and saw a black tornado landing and revel a human raven girl. "Well well what do we have here you are new to this town hm? To bad you did not hear of the curse but a pone this town or the raven steeling hearts from pretty girls. Or els you would not be out here. "The raven girl told the group with a evil grin. "Are you Karee?" Conan spat at the evil girl like crow. "Yes I am. Now let me take your hearts to my father the raven so he can get out of his dungeon and destroy the prince." "No way!" Rachel spat at Karee. She ran to Kree but was caught by human/ raven people she heard a scream and looked at Conan who throw a socar ball towards Kree. She dodged it and throw what looks like feathers at Conan. He dodged them.

Conan kicks another socar ball towards the raven/humans ravens which knocked them out and the girls fall towrads the ground. Conan dived for them and extended his harms out one girl lands in his right hand the other one landed on his stomick. "Conan-kun are you ok?" asked Rachel. "Yes rachel san." "Haa perventig your down fauil ha?" Krea taunted "Oh no they are not! Your fight is with me you evial bird." shouts a mysterious voice. They all look to see a young man with a mask with his princes sword he was wearing a mask. He had black hair. He walked forward and pulled the sword ready for battle. " Oh you worthles knigh why would you fight for your friends when you will be split in half soon." Kree taunted with him. "Fakir! Conan, Amy, and Rachel explaned. He turend around to look at the new commers and shouted "go i will fight her and save you." "Fakir are you sure we can help?!" Conan asked. "No go just go." Fakir told them while ushering them on.

The group ran out of the little town towards the time machine and landes back in the labitority of Dr. Agusas's house. "oh J... conan, Amy, and Rachel what are you doing back? Solved the case? Where is everyone els?" Dr. Aguasa aksed when he turned around in his chair near the panal. "No we have not solved the case but i have a pretty good idea who stole the pendent. is there anu news on Katio Kid?" Conan asked the Dr. with a sly grin. "As a matter of face he is about to steal a jewl in the Tokoyo history musem tonight at 8pm. Why Conan?" "Well i have a hunch he was the one who stole the pendent. That's why we are back to get the pendent back."

Menwhile backe at Princes Tutu... "You worthless night give up!" "Never!" He went and slashed her she looked at her dress which was riped she vanished. Fakir walked off into town to his house. He was in the middle of town when he saw little kids running around while leaves was faling around them. While he was walking in town he could he smell the aromua of deligous fresh bread that came from the backery. He almost stops to get the bread for his dinner but he contunied to his house. when he got to his house. He closed the door and he saw the kids were chasing the little yellow duck who was trying to escape from them. When the kids did not see where they were looking they pumped into Fakir.

they all fell on the floor and tumpled on top of Fakir. Anitia who was in the living room and on the coutch reading the Prince and The Raven. She heard a deep and pretty pissted off voice yell " what the hell?! Are you doing chasing Ahiru around the hosue? I thought you promised to be good will i was out?" Anita sighed jumped off the coutch and walked into the hallway and told Fakir in her matter of factly voice "they wanted a closer look at the duck and aslo to give her a bath." "hmmph that still does not give you the right to scare Ahiru half to death. Have you even thought of asking her ?" Fakir bent down to their level and asked with a stern look " No! We don's speek duck like you Fakir-sama." Amy told him. Fakir turned his head to Ahiru and asked with sypthey eyes "are you ok Ahiru?" "Quack Quack (No! I almost thought i will never get away from them! Can i go back to my (our) room to rest?)" "Sure! You three go into the living room and think about what you did while i put Ahiru down." Fakir picked Ahiru up in his cupped hand and got up started walking to the stairs and yelled at the kids. But before he got to the first step he heard a voice behind him ask "Fakir-sama?" He turned around to see Aninita "Yes?!" "Can i speack to you alone please?" "Sure come with me to my room."

They both walked to Fakir's room while shutting the door. A few mninets later Mitch and Geroge ran after Fakir and Anita to his room. "Come back boys we are in trouble remember.!" Amy told them from the livining room. The ignord her and ran throught the halway up to Fakir's room They tried to listin closley to what they are saying. Inside the room. Fakir went to what looked like a basket and bent down and set Ahiru down while Anite asked "Fakir-sama do you write?" " yes why do you ask?" "Well do your stories ever come true?" "Yes why do you ask Anita-chan?" "Well you have to promise me you will not tell a single soul." Anita told Fakir with a death glare.

Fakir had a cold chile running up and down his spine and he swept dropped. "I promise. "Good well I have a probisition for you. Can you write a story for me and Conan?" "Why?" Fakir asked puzzled. "well we are not who we say we are... hold that thought." Anita walked to the door and opened it up forcfully out tumples Mitch and Geroge with a eveil death glare to the boys she asked them with an eveil grine acros her face " how much did you hear?" Gulp went the boys response they had a hard time responding but they said "up to the part to the part of we are not who we say we are." Anitia's loooks could kill these boys would be dead by now and there was fire behind her she bend down to their level and put her hands on her hips and told them " NO and repeating this once more NO repeting this to anyone got that!" The atmosphere in the room got iceburge cold. The boys stumpled and was close to crying form the rath of Anitia "gulp yes we promise."

They could not take it anymore and ran out of the room. Antia went to shut the door. She looked back to Fakir who was sweet dropping. "Now back to what we were talking about... oh yes I am Anita that is true but the boy named Conan thats not his real name is real name is Jimmy Kudo." "The great dective of the east?" Fakir asked anita. "Yes you see i used to work for an orginization that is not a good or bad orginaztion called the Black Orgainization I was the creater of the pill they gave Jimmy called APTX 438. Well i don't know everything that has happened to Jimmy but he told me a little bit The only thing he told me is when he and Rachel went to Tropical Land and he saw a shady deal going on and he followed them untill he got knocked out and forced to take my pill which snruck him. I was in the same boat but in a diffrent situation i started to repaell against them they forced me into a room which i knew my fate i took my own pill and left. The orginization does not know that we are still alive.

That's why Fakir-sama would you write a story to help end this nightmare?" Anita pleaded with Fakir. "Ok I will be a short story but one qustion why re you keeping this a secret?" Fakir asked her. "Beccause if the BO found out me or Jimmy is small and alive they will come back to finish the job and also hurt anyone who was associeated with us. Thats why it's top secret." Anitia told him. "Ok I will write you two a story but you might not feel the transformation till dinner. Also I will set up a set of clothes/ blankets too for you two in my room." Fakir. "Thank you Fakir-sama you dont know how happy we are." She gave him a hug and tears were forming at her eyes threating to fall.

Meanwhile Back in Conan's world... "Conan - kun it's late and me and amy are cold when will he be coming?" Rachel asked Conan. They were on the roof of the musem to which Kid was said to steal his next jewl. " He ..." SLAM "stop you theif and return the jewl."

The theif was wearing all white: hat, suit, and pants. He had a blue ribbon on his hat and blue tie. he lifted his face to the officers with a sly grine he said "hmmm this fake you can have it." He throws the jewl back to the officers. Just before he taks off he hears foot steepps behind him he grinned. " Well well we meet again Kid but I belive you have somthing that belongs to a dear friend of mine.?!" Conan told the Phamtom theif with a stern look. "Oh really (he turns around to face the shrunken dective) what have i captured that has caught your atition?" The Phamtom theif asked. " Hmmm (he puts his hand to his chine as if he is thinking) It is on a silver chain, a red tear drop pendent, that i belive is in your left pocket." Conan told him while pointing to the pocket. He reaches in and pulls out the pendent. "Oh you mean this thing? You can have it it was not what i was looking for." Kid told him while throwing it to him while turning about to open his hangglider and fly away.

Conan dove for the pendent and he caught it right before it hit the ground. He heved a sigh then his smile whent into an angry look. He got up and faced Kid. "Do you have any idea what this pendent belongs to or what it is caple of? Do you have any Freackin idea idiot Kid?" "No but don't get huffy sorry for throwing it! ( He put his hands up and sweet dropped while saying this). "Cut the crape you knew who it belonged to why did you lie Kid?" "What are you talkign about Conan? Yes i knew i stole it from a duck but why woudl a duck need a pendent?" "I dontk now either but you have no right to steal it.!"

They girls looked at each other while they watched the battle between the boys. "Conan is and elementry school student who cuses? Somthing does not seem right?!" Conan yells at Kid after he turns around and goes back to the girls. Kid flys away. Conan walks up to the girls he stopps dead in his tracks the girls had a stern look in there eyes. "Conan we heard you cuss, I am a shamed of you and elementry school student cussing where did you learn to cuss like that? From Jimmy or your parents?" Rachel asked while pent to his level. "Yeah Conan why?" Amy asked. "" can't tell them i am a tenager they will be in danger." Conan thought "I learned from my parents." Conan sweet dropped but told them. "I will have to talk to your parents when I meet them." Rachel told Conan Conan sweet dropped "you already have meet my parents Rachel-chan." Conan thought. "Let's go back to Fakir-sana."

They all agreed they traveld back to the profesors house. "Ah i see you ahve the pendent back, heading back?" Dr. Agausa. "Yes thanks for your help Dr. A.-san" "Anytime Conan now to send you back." He turned to the panal and turned it one the group landed back to town.
