Author's Note: Yay! Readers! The blood of a good author are the readers . But… I wish more of you would review… . I might be asking for much but I would really appreciate it if you guys would review, it makes me feel inspired and I write ten times faster then I do with a review. Sorry if I seem desperate but it would help if I got feedback. Now back to the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Detective Conan and this story, I do own the OC though.
This is where a random quote from any of Gosho's manga's:
"Only revealing his identity when dying, eh?"
(Conan, Chapter 387-Disgraceful Hero, pg. 9)
Kudo Residence
"Shinichi, are you there?"
"Eh?"
Ran had just entered Shinichi's home to check up on him. It was like any other regular visit, well to Ran maybe. But to Shinichi it was horrible timing, he couldn't see Ran like he is now.
"You could at least answer the phone in you're home! The door's unlocked to!"
No way… no way was Ran going to come in here now.
"Ra, Ran!"
They couldn't be discovered, it was the thing they just couldn't let happen. Panic was all that Shinichi and Agasa were acting on and it wasn't going to help them, not at all.
"Quick, hide!"
Shinichi was still panicking, as he heard Agasa's suggestion he tried to look for a place to hide. It didn't work out as well…
"H,hide? Where?"
The bewildered teen just closed the door behind and with a calm expression. He didn't realize the importance of this, in fact he didn't even know why they had to hide. So he just stood at the door's blind spot clueless.
"Why do we have to hide?"
Just at that moment, Ran forcefully opened the door only to find Agasa in the room. Shinichi was just able to hide behind the desk, as for their friend behind the door, he had to cope with the pain of being struck by a door opened by Ran (And if you didn't know, it was a really hard door…).
"Oh Professor Agasa…"
"Iyaaa, I haven't seen you in a while Ran-kun!"
(Thank goodness she didn't notice the injured man behind the door…)
Ran took a quick look at the large library in Shinichi's house. Ran had been in here a couple times but she was always amazed and stood in awe all the time.
"Wow! I'm always amazed at how many books there are! And they're all Mystery novels…"
Agasa, who was still trying to hide Shinichi, could only answer back but with uncertainty.
"Yes, well you know Shinichi-kun's father is a world famous mystery novelist…"
Ran knew, she also remembered Shinichi's tendency to talk non-stop about Sherlock Holmes at any given time. She realized the reason but didn't like what had become of it.
"Growing up around so many books turned him detective-crazy…"
This remark annoyed Shinichi, sure he was a big fan of detective novels and mysteries of the like, but that didn't mean you could insult him just because of that. But, out of habit he spoke out.
"Shaddup…"
Bad mistake…
"Hm? Who's that over there?"
He had to reveal himself… Worse. Possible. Scenario…
As Agasa tried his best to cover up, he just made it more suspicious.
"Oh, he's, uh…"
Ah, crap! She's going to find me! Need disguise…
Shinichi just, oh so happen to look into his father's open desk drawer to find a pair of his dad's glasses.
This will do!
As soon as he put those glasses on he knew it was a mistake. The lens of the glasses messed up his vision, and he couldn't tell left from right not to mention that it hurt his eyes causing him to wobble out of his hiding spot and into plain sight. Ran just caught sight of the mysterious little boy, curious of who he was.
"Who's he?"
With his glasses Shinichi was able to pop the lenses out before Ran noticed even though she was already right behind him. She kneeled behind Shinichi and with a gentle smile on her face she tried to get the boy's attention.
"Aww… Don't be shy… C'mon over here!"
She quickly spun Shinichi around to get a better look of his face. Luckily he had already put his glasses on by then. Then they faced each other…
…
Ran had a good look of this child, it was undeniable…
"This, this kid…"
Shinichi was unsure if his "Disguise" had actually worked, because it was going to be the end of him if it didn't.
"Haha…"
It didn't work…
"... Is Cute! 3"
Ran quickly gave the "Cute…" boy a large hug, she held on pretty tight as well. Kudo had only one thing in his mind at that time…
Her breasts…
(… What a perverted little boy.)
"How old are you?"
"Sixte… I mean, Six!"
He tried to back away from her, but every time he did she just got closer and closer putting more pressure onto him. It didn't help when answering her questions.
"Are you a first grader?"
"Y, yeah…"
Now his back was completely against the bookshelf and this didn't lighten his pressure.
"What's your name?"
"My names is Shin… No, I mean…"
"Hm?"
"Uh, Umm… Umm"
A name… he couldn't figure out a name in time, his mind was blank and he wasn't thinking straight. He needed a name and quick. He took one quick look at the shelf behind him and saw two books. One was about Edogawa Rampo, the other was about Conan Doyle. This was his last choice.
"CONAN! M, MY NAME IS, EDOGAWA CONAN! Hahaha…"
…
"Conan…? That's a weird name…"
"My dad is a Conan Doyle fan so he named me after him…"
Worst. Excuse. Ever…
"Conan, huh…"
While Ran was taking in the name Agasa and "Conan" were silently bickering at each other on how stupid the name was. Ran didn't pay much attention to them instead she seemed more worried about another person, one Kudo Shinichi was missing and Ran didn't feel easy.
"Professor Agasa, you wouldn't know where Shinichi is, would you?"
"W-well, he was earlier, but he had to do something and left…"
"I see…"
The Professor wanted to say something at that moment, an excuse or a thought, but he didn't know what to say. His mind was drawing a complete blank and that was not what he needed right now. Just as he thought of something and went to voice it he stopped when a certain individual decided to pop his head in.
"Oi! Conan, where are you? Stop hiding!"
Then right on cue, he popped in. The door opened and revealed himself; the stranger whose life was on the line yet survived, and what more he was a complete replica of Shinichi with only the difference is his hair colour. It was straight out blue. Conan stiffened at his entrance, at the moment he really didn't need this right now he had to deal with Ran first but now he also has to deal with him. When he entered he casually looked around and as soon as he saw what he needed to he took a step into the room with a smile on his face, the exact same smile that Shinichi has.
"Ah! There you are Conan-kun! I've been looking for you everywhere! Come on don't bother Pro…"
He couldn't finish his sentence, not with the death glare he was getting from Ran. She had full fury and was glaring him down. It was the most frightening thing they had ever seen, the aura was enough to make a man fall on his knees in fear. He didn't get the reason for her sudden murderous intent, so all he could do was try to figure out what was happening to the best of his ability.
"Um… Agasa, may I ask why is she glaring at me li…"
Ran was acting completely on instinct; she cut him off before he could finish. She strictly went right up to his face, stared at him for a minute, took in a deep breath, and let it all out.
"SHINICHI YOU BAKA! I WAS WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOU! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I CALLED YOU AND YOU DIDN'T ANSWER! HUH? WELL I HAD JUST ENOUGH OFF YOU! BEING THE STUPID DETECTIVE FREAK YOU ARE I THOUGHT SOMETHING HAPPENED TO YOU! AND I JUST FIND YOU HERE CARELESSLY DOING NOTHING! WELL I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS FROM YOU AND… and… and… and…"
It finally dawned on her, after much yelling she noticed the most bizarre thing about the man in front of her. Even though the look, voice, and facial expressions were the same there was one thing different about him. He had BLUE hair… The man was frozen with fear after her tantrum, he had nearly gone deaf and was trembling at the thought of what she was going to do next. Ran couldn't believe what she had done, she knew for a fact that he wasn't Shinichi yet she carelessly went and released her anger at an innocent person. She immediately bowed her head in shame and apologized with her most sincere voice, completely different then what we had just heard.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to yell at you I thought you were Kudo Shinichi and just carelessly vented out my anger on you. I'm so sorry! Please forgive me! I didn't mean it…"
"O-oh no, it's fine. It's alright don't worry about it, I get that a lot…"
While Ran was apologizing, Shinichi was foreshadowing and cursing what was going to happen because of this. Apparently this man had no memory of himself, yet for the most utmost strangest thing was that he knew so much about Shinichi. He knew way too much about him that wasn't announced publicly it was scary. After much apologizing on Ran's part, Ran's curiosity seemed to act up. Of course she had no idea who the person standing in front of her was, but he was looking for cute little Edogawa so he had to have had a good reason.
"Excuse me for asking, but who are you? How do you know Conan-kun?"
"Ah, well actually. I know him because…"
Oh no…
Shinichi knew this wasn't going to end well, how could he make an excuse on how he knew him?
"Because…"
Shinichi was going to pass out, there was no way to worm out of this one.
"Because…"
Just get it over with, I'm going to die anyway…
"Because I'm his brother!"
… Eh? Brother?
His brother… There's no way she was going to fall for an excuse like that. Ran was too smart for that, she has seen through so many of Shinichi's excuses to fall for something as petty as that.
"Your Conan-kun's brother…? Well I guess that would explain things."
She actually fell for that…!
Shinichi mentally slapped himself after seeing Ran ponder on the thought for a moment. He couldn't believe her naive brain, it was just strange seeing her like this. Ran just gave up on her suspicions, she decided not to think about it anymore. Then, as casual as it was, Ran decided to ask more questions.
"By the way I didn't get your name."
(Oh boy…)
"My name? Um… well you see…"
"Hm…?"
"My name is…"
Now Shinichi knew this was coming up, he dreaded it. Asking a man who had lost his memory, claimed to be the brother of a complete stranger using an alias, and not being completely aware of the alias itself tends to have horrible results. Just before the stranger was about to answer he caught himself taking a quick glance at Shinichi, smirked a large grin then answered.
"My name is Daisuke Edogawa, pleased to meet you…"
"Ran Mouri."
"Please to meet you Ran."
Wow, he's good at playing stupid. Especially since he already knew her name. Though he came up with a better name then me though since I don't think that was his real name…
Ran wasn't done with her question yet.
"By the way, how did you get in here? Do you know Shinichi?"
"Well…"
He felt a glare that was directed right at him, it felt like someone was trying to use psychic powers to tell him a message like;
What horrible excuse is he going to pull out now? Please I beg you make it good! Or I'll kill you!
"Well as a matter of fact, we are close relatives with Shinichi. We come here every now and then…"
Unbeknownst to Ran was Agasa and Shinichi did a face plant and were giving death glares to "Daisuke". Of all the things he could think of, he had blurt out that nonsense. Life was going to get much worse. Agasa had many things to say to Ran like; 'Sorry Ran, could you please leave I'm very busy…' or 'Well actually this little kid is…' but he couldn't say those things. Instead he blurted out what he thought could be a good idea. It was, but it did come at a price.
"Oh, Ran-kun! Would taking care of them at your place for a little while?"
"Eh?"
Both "Conan" and "Daisuke" were shocked at what the professor had proposed. Even through many silent protests he continued on with his crazy plan.
"Well, you see, their parents are in the hospital because of an accident, so they asked me to look after them, but I live alone, and I don't know the slightest thing about taking care of a child…"
It didn't take that long for Ran to answer, in fact she seemed very welcome to the whole idea.
"Well, okay but I'll have to ask Otou-san…"
"Oh, okay, okay! Will you take it up with him!"
Conan was giving Agasa the most angriest whispered argument Agasa. How could he even suggest that knowing full well that it could endanger his identity. After much arguing and silent cursing at each other, Conan gave it when Agasa told him that since Ran's house is a detective agency it would help in his search for the men in black. He actually was kind of happy of the chance of tracking down those guys (And maybe the fact he was going to live in Ran's house…) so he happily obliged. In fact with his joy his "Kid act" seemed to be so much easier. He was literally clinging onto Ran.
"I want to go to Nee-Chan's house!"
"How cute!"
"So Ran, I know you can take care of Conan… But will your Dad let Daisuke live with you guys?"
They all turned to Daisuke's direction, he didn't seem that much of a bad person, and in fact he seemed really nice. But Ran knew the two most biggest problems they would have from her dad. One, he looks exactly like Shinichi, which her father hates for so many reasons. And two, he was a male, a boy, and in all of her life she knew that her father's instinct was to murder any boy that was stupid enough to do anything with her much less let one live with her. Ran sweat dropped, she really wanted to let them live with her, she knew they were really nice people and she just couldn't resist Conan's cute face.
"Agasa, don't worry I'll figure something out."
And with that they left the house. Actually, Daisuke said that he'd stay behind to finish packing up everything for their stay, he told them to go ahead of him he said that he'll meet them at the Mouri detective agency a little later.
The Streets
"Oh, Conan-kun?"
"Eh? Ah? Yeah… What is it Ran-nee-chan?"
Not used to this name…
"Are there any girls you like?"
That out of the blue question made Conan very nervous, Ran never talks about this stuff when he was Shinichi so he didn't know how to respond.
"Eh?"
"You know! Anyone you're interested in, like at school…?"
It was hard to answer that in a straight face, especially since he had a condition.
"Um, no, nope…"
What is this girl saying so suddenly?
"I do! I have a guy I like a whoollle lot…"
This caught his attention, he couldn't pass up a moment like this. He had to ensure not to reveal his identity, but he just had to know this.
"Oh… Could it be… That Shinichi-nii-chan you were looking for earlier?"
…
…
…
And with the most brightest smile, she answered with all heart. It was one of those moments where you couldn't do anything but listen. She meant each and every word spoken and she looked so happy when she talked about him.
"That's Right!"
"Eh?"
"Ever since he was little, he was a jerk… Always full of himself… Always a mystery Otaku… But whenever you need him he's dependable… And brave… and cool… I really… I really… I really love Shinichi!"
Conan's face was bright red, he couldn't quite believe his ears. Yet he seemed so happy to hear these words, but felt a little guilty hearing them as well. His heart was beating so fast and he could only relay the words she had said through his mind.
I really love Shinichi!
He just couldn't think of much else.
"But don't tell him okay?"
He only nodded.
…
Mouri Detective Agency
Not soon after they had reached the agency with a lot of time to spare. They were about to walk up the stairs when they saw a familiar figure approach them. It was Daisuke, with a large bag in tow filled with a lot of Shinichi's old clothes.
"Ah Daisuke over here!"
"Sorry I'm a bit late… So this is your house?"
"Yes, but starting today this is also yours and Conan's house…"
"Thank you so much Ran!"
"No big deal, I'll introduce you to Otou-san and you guys can settle in."
Conan just stood still for a while before heading up the stairs. He really hated the feeling of having to lie to Ran, his childhood friend and well… you know… He was torn, he didn't know if it would be best to tell the truth or just lie…
"Come on Conan-kun! Lets go already!"
"H-hai…"
He decided he would tell her, soon…
When Conan decided to finally come up the stairs, out of nowhere was a man with great speed raced down the stairs. With no control he literally smashed right into Daisuke since he was further up then Ran. Everyone heard a painful groan but they were more focused on the man who had just face planted himself.
"Otou-san what are you doing!"
"Ow ow ow…"
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING THIS TIME OF NIGHT? DRINKING AND MAHJONG AGAIN?"
After getting himself up Mouri had a smirk that seemed way too creepy to be normal, especially the bruises and scratches on his face. "
"It's a job!"
"Eh?"
"I got a call earlier! A little girl's been kidnapped by some men in black, and her parents called for me! They want my help!"
Men in black was all Conan had to hear. If they were involved he had to be there. While Mouri was in the taxi mumbling nonsense to himself Conan and Ran were already in the taxi as well. Mouri only realized this when they got on the highway.
"Why the hell are you in here?"
"It wasn't me! It was him…"
They both looked down to see a child happily jumping in his seat, it couldn't look more innocent.
"Yay, a car! Yay!"
Mouri only just realized that there was an unknown personnel with Ran, not to mention that he was a child.
"Who the hell is that?"
"One of Shinichi's relatives!"
"GET OFF! YOU'RE GOING TO WRECK MY JOB!"
Now Ran was pissed off.
"WE CAN'T GET OFF, YOU JERK! WE'RE ON A HIGHWAY!"
While to hotheaded and stubborn people were arguing their lungs out, the little bundle known as Conan was thinking about those men. The men that had done this to him, they were going to pay.
Just you wait Men In Black… I'll find your hideout… get that drug… Get my old body back… And I'll tell the entire world about you crimes!
To Be Continued…
Author's Note: Finally! I finished this chapter after a long time! I really couldn't decide on the name for my OC so I just stuck with Daisuke. By the way after the next chapter I'm going to have a side story of mine added. I need new characters but can't think of any at the moment. So I thought I'd let you readers think about. I'm going to leave a quote from a random chapter of DC and if you can fill in the blanks I'm leaving I'll include your character to the side story. You don't have to do it, but it would help things along anyway. Please read and review.
"You were caught in a robbery case, and when you were about to catch him, he killed himself?"
(_, Chapter 485, Suicide Turns to Homicide, Pg._ )
Try to figure it out! ;)
