Chapter 2: The Mourning Routine and the Girl Next Door
Both Conan and Ran jumped out of their skin. Someone was trying to unlock the front door! Ran formed her hands into a fist and put her hands down by her side, getting into Karate mode.
The door creaked open, only a litle. From behind the door came a hand. A long fingered, skinny wristed hand. Along with it came a small book. (a math book to be precise.)
The hand layed the book down next to the door, disappered back behind the door. Then, the door closed and with another click was locked back.
Ran and Conan just looked at the door, the book, then at each other, very confused. Conan was the first to react. He unlocked the door and ran out. He reached the end of the hallway just in time to see a pair of legs in boy uniform pants walk out of site.
What the hell?
Ran finally caught up with the little boy. "Conan, who was that?"
Conan didn't answered.
"Come on back inside Conan, lets get some strong coffee." She put a hand on his shoulder and ushered him back into the house. "By the way," She added "who was on the phone?"
"HELLO HAPPY PEOPLE OF THE KUROBA HOME!" A extremely tall japanese girl yelled as she swung open the doors to her best friend Kaito Kuroba's house. It was 5.45 in the morning when she walked off the bus from Bekia. So She Stopped to get an energy drink from a local drug store. At 6.30 when she walked through the doors of the house, she was full of energy. Hah! I probably woke little Kaito up! If I have to be up this early, so does he! He he he... She thought to herself. This was her morning routine. Except an hour later. She would come to her friends house. Eat breakfast, brush her teeth then, her and Kaito would walk to school, later meeting up with Nakamori Aoko. Damn buses! Only have a graveyard bus, then one at 7.00! Why not one in the middle! I hate riding the bus ALL the way out here just to go to school! Why do I do it! Why not just go to Teitan High?
A 17, groggy boy came down the stairs with hair more untamed then ever. "What the heck are you doing here Keyogie?" You usually aren't here for another hour!"
Oh yeah. Now I remeber. It take pictures of my dear friend Kaito and show them to Aoko to embarrass him in front of her! He he he. "Actually," She said out loud, fishing through her bag, "it's only 20 minutes. You just sleep to long. I had a little journy to make before school and the latest bus I could take was at 5.00."
" Where the hell did you have to go at 5 in the morning?!"
Snap "4.30. Takes 10 minutes to get there. 10 to get back. 5 to get from my house to the bus stop." She said while taking a picture. "Get the picture kid."
The boys eyes went wide with rage! "Why you little-"
The chase was on!
"Give that back!"
"OH!! Don't you think that Aoko should see the morning side of you! After all! If you love birds are going to get married than she has the right to see what you look like in the morning! HA HA HA HA!"
He went tomato red. "I don't think so."
BOOM!
Smoke went every where. When it cleared the young magican was holding the girl camera while dangling from the ceiling. "I'll be taking this."
"You're no fun you know that!
"You two stop playing around! breakfast is almost ready!" Kaito's mom yelled from the Kitchen.
Kaito smiled Same old morning routine.
After breakfast. The two teens ran upstairs. The girl to the bathroom and the boy to his room to change. Dressed in Matching black uniforms, they brushed their teeth and ran to the door to meet up with their friends on the way to school.
Kaito's mom said good-bye to them from the front door. I don't know what I'd do without those two. Life is never boring with them around. Same morning routines are always another adventure. She closed the door.
"You people are watching your house Kudo. Have you noticed?"
"Yup. I've noticed."
"Could you feel them watching you?"
"Yup. There here too."
"I know."
"This morning there was a not near the front door with your name on it. I put it in your math book before I put it in your house. Did you find it?"
"Yup. Why didn't you just give it to me later? You didn't have to unlock the door and do all that stuff. I should report you you know. Breaking and Entering ring a bell to you?"
"How did you know that I broke in?"
"First of all the door was locked. This is Tokyo, you always lock your doors. Two, only you would take the time to unlock the door then lock it back and not put it out on the porch."
"Someone would have stole it if it was outside Kudo. Like you said. It's Tokyo."
"Yeah right. Like someone is going to steal a second graders math book. What were you doing with it any way?"
"You left it at Agase's house and he asked me to take it to you before I went to school."
"Oh."
There was a silence.
"What did the letter say anyways?"
"That the Black Organization is going to kill me."
"Oh."
It was another Thrusday night. Keyogie was watching Conan like she did every Thursday night so that Kogoro and Ran could spend 'bonding time' together. She and Conan were eating steak.
"So... You haven't told Ran that you're not really Conan, the spookily smart little boy that she can tell anything, but, in fact, Kudo Shinichi, the boy that is equally spookily smart that she is head over heels for."
"I can see it you know," She contiuned, "People will ask how the great detective of the east died and I will have to tell them 'Ah well! You see, he told Ran that he was really the adorable nine year old boy who has been living with her for the last two years and that, all through that time he could not tell her who he was or where he'd been for the last couple of years in fear that she would be killed by souless killing machines that would have killed her no matter what! So, heart broken, she killed him hers-"
"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!" He bellowed. "No I haven't told her yet." he added. "Also, spookily isn't a word you moron." he said with a smirk.
"Kiss my ass you little bastard."
There was a long silence.
"You should really tell her you know. The longer you wait the harder it will be to tell her."
"I know. I know."
"You can't to it when you get older, because you might not get there, you know. If you want, I'll help you out. I DO have connections."
"NO! I WANNA DO THIS MYSELF!"
"AND YOU'VE DONE A BANG UP JOB SO FAR!" she grabbed the closest utensil, "YOU'VE FOUND OUT SO FREAKI-"
"Hi! We're home!" Ran called from the front door. "Sorry were early, but dad met up with some friends, so he went..out...with.....the..m" She walked into the kitchen, startled by the scene in front of her eyes. Keyogie was hovering of Conan who was standing in his chair, staring coldly at her. She, had a steak knife held in the air ready to strike at any moment, giving him a cold look as well, completely unaware of Ran's presence. "Ah-hem. Keyogie, I think it's time that you go home." Ran said loudly.
"Huh? Oh! Ok." she dropped the knife and patted little Conan on the head. "I'll see you later little guy okie dokie!" She said in her baby voice. He gave her a disgusted look. She walked twoard the door and bent down to put on her shoes.
Swiftly, unknowing to Ran, she slipped a manila folder into Conan backpack.
"See Y'all later! Bye Ran-neechan!" She left.
Ran and Conan looked at each other for a few minutes. "I don't even want to know!" Ran walked out of the room to her own, leaving Conan to stare at the manilla envelope sticking out of his backpack.
There was a small intake of breathe when Keyogie step out of the building. January is always the coldest. Espeacailly the end of it. The hair on the back of her neck stuck up on end. Yeah yeah. I know. You're watching me...big deal. I've got nothing to hide. Instead of going straight home, she went across the street of her own home to her nieghtbor Agese's House. I'm sick of the lies! She thought crossing the street. I hate the lies and the spies....Hey! That rhymed! Any way... I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! I"M HELPING HIM IF HE LIKES IT OR NOT!!
This was just one of those 'out there' chapters. It was just to introduce Keyogie and Kaito really... Next chapter will be better.. I think anyways...Update soon
