Hey mina!
It's getting closer and closer to Christmas and I have yet to find a hiding place. Help! Hide me! *Cowers behind Shinichi*
Shinichi: What are you doing?
Me: Hiding from my bad luck.
Kaito: And you're hiding behind Shinichi?
Me: Yeah. What's wrong with that?
Kaito: It's Shinichi.
Me: …I see your point. No need to combine our bad luck. *Hides behind Kaito*
Shinichi: Hey! My luck's not that bad!
Kaito: Yes it is.
Me: *Pokes head out from behind Kaito* Yeah, your bad luck is scary.
Shinichi: You guys are crazy.
Me: Aww~! Thanks Shin-chan~! *Goes back to hiding*

On with the chapter!
Shinichi's P.O.V.
"I- I haven't been completely honest with you. …I'm not really seven, I'm seventeen. My name's not Edogawa Conan ether; it's Kudo Shinichi."
I started telling them my story. I told them everything; about the Black Organization, about the Apoptoxin, everything. After I had finished my story I sighed, "I'm sorry I haven't been completely honest with you. It's OK if you don't trust me anymore."
I chanced a glance at them; they were smiling.
Kaito swept me into a hug. "It's OK, we understand."
I look up at him in surprise. They still trust me?! I smiled at him, "Thanks Kaito."
"No problem." His smile grows even bigger as he puts me down. "Hey! You didn't tell me to put you down that time! Yay~! Shin-chan likes me~!"
I felt my face grow hot. I quickly turned away to hide my growing blush.
Chikage looked at me with a knowing smile on her face, "It's getting pretty late; why don't you come back tomorrow?" She leaned down to give me a hug. "That should give you enough time to think on your new emotions, right?" I heard her whisper in my ear.
That made me blush so hard I was certain my face was the same color as the Santa costume I was still wearing. "Y-Yeah." I was answering on autopilot.
"Don't worry; I'm certain he feels the same way." She whispered. She then released me from her hug and smiled at me. "Do you remember the way to the bathroom? You should probably change back into your normal cloths after all."
"Huh? Oh, yeah, I remember." I said, still on autopilot. I started walking towards the bathroom. I quickly changed back into my cloths. I walked into the living room to thank them one last time before I went home. "Thanks for everything guys. I was supposed to be alone this holiday season but now I won't be, so, thanks."
Kaito smiled at me, "I should be thanking you. If I hadn't found you I would have been alone every Christmas."
"Hey! What about me?" Chikage whined.
Kaito grinned, "Oh, you know what I meant."
I smiled, "Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Bye!"
"Bye~!"
I turned and walked out the door, heading home. It didn't take me to long to get to the detective agency.
"Ran-neechan, I'm home!" I said as I walked in the door.
"Welcome back Conan-kun." Ran said from her spot on the couch.
I went silently to my room and lied down on my bed.
So… I like Kaito. No, that's not right, I love him. …And Chikage said he loves me. Oh what do I do? How do I tell him? Do I even tell him? Ugh! This is so hard!
Just then my Shinichi phone rang. I looked at it; it was Ran. I quickly grabbed my bowtie voice-changer and answered the call. "Hey Ran, what's up?"
"Hey Shinichi. I… I just had a feeling you needed to talk about something; so I thought I'd call you." Ran admitted.
I let my jaw drop, How does she do that? She always seems to know when I need advice, or someone to talk to. "Yeah, you're right, I need some advice. …I… I met someone, but I don't know how to tell him how I feel."
She was silent for a moment, and then, "Oh Shinichi, that's great! What's his name? What's he like? When can I meet him?" She squealed in delight.
I sighed in relief, "Well his name's Kuroba Kaito… and he's a magician."
I heard her giggle a little on the other end.
I frowned, "What?"
"Sorry, I'm just happy for you; I thought you'd be alone this holiday. I was worried about you." She admitted.
"Yeah I thought I'd be alone too, but I'm glad I won't be." I laughed. "I just wish I knew how to tell him, or if I should even tell him at all." I sighed, "I just don't want him to hate me."
She was quiet for a while, thinking it over. "Well I personally think you should tell him. But I don't think you should tell him until you're ready." She finally said. "Oh, but don't wait too long or you might miss your chance."
That's good advice. "Thanks Ran… I feel like a weight was just lifted from my shoulders."
"Don't mention it Shinichi. I'm just glad I could help." She said. "Good luck with that case of yours and I hope to see you soon."
"Yeah me too. Thanks again Ran." I smiled as I hung up the phone. Well now that I've got that figured out I should get some sleep.
I was just crawling back into bed when my Shinichi phone rang again. I checked the number; this time it was Haibara.
"Hello Haibara, to what do I owe the pleasure of your call?" I said sarcastically.
She ignored my comment, "I found it."
I frowned, "Found what?"
"The antidote. The permanent antidote." She said.
It took a couple of minutes for my brain to proses what she meant. My eyes grew wide once I finally figured it out. "You found it?! You really found it?!" I nearly shouted.
"Yeah, tell the whole world while you're at it why don't you?" She said sarcastically.
"Hehe, sorry." I laughed. "This is great! Give me a couple days to say Conan's goodbyes. Once I've finished I'll meet you at the professor's, OK?"
"Yeah, sure. See you soon." She said as she hung up.
I put my phone away and practically jumped off my bed. I ran out of my room and into the living room to tell Ran That Conan would be spending Christmas with his parents in America.
She smiled excitedly, "That's great Conan-kun!"
"They also said I could stay with them in America if I wanted. …I said yes." I said a little less enthusiastically; keeping up the act.
"Oh Conan-kun, that's fantastic! …I'll miss you though." She sighed.
I sighed "Yeah, I'll miss you too Ran-neechan."
Ran's P.O.V.
After three days of goodbyes and teary eyes Conan was ready to leave. He was all packed and was waiting for his mom, Edogawa Fumiyo, to come pick him up. As soon as Fumiyo walked through the door I swept him into one last hug.
"I'll miss you Conan-kun!" I said, trying to hold in the tears.
He hugged me back, "I'll miss you too Ran-neechan!"
After one last teary eyed goodbye he walked out the door and got into the car with his mom. As he disappeared into the distance the tears I had been trying so hard to hold back started to fall.
Shinichi's P.O.V.
Once we were far enough away from the agency I turned to look at my mother. "Hey Kaa-san, can we stop somewhere before we go to the professor's."
She smiled at me, "Of course Shin-chan! Where would you like to go?"
I looked out the window as the world passed us by and smiled. "Can we stop at Kaito's house? I want to surprise him. I haven't been able to see him for the past couple days because of how busy it's been."
She looked at me with an excited smile, "Yay~! I finally get to meet Shin-chan's boyfriend~!"
"Kaa-san! We are not dating! I haven't even told him how I feel yet!" I said, blushing deeply.
"Aww~! Shin-chan is embarrassed!" She said mischievously.
I could feel my blush spreading up my ears and down my neck. "Kaa-san!"
She smiled, "All right, all right, I'll stop."
We drove the rest of the way in silence. Once we pulled into the driveway we got out of the car and I knocked on the door. As soon as the door was open Kaito swept me into a hug.
"Shin-chan~! I missed you~! You were supposed to come over two days ago! Where were you?" He paused when he noticed my mother. "Who's this?"
"Kaito this is my mom, Kudo Yukiko, Kaa-san this is Kuroba Kaito." I said, introducing them.
My mom smiled at him, "You look just like your father."
He looked at her in surprise, "You knew my father?!"
She nodded, "Kuroba Toichi right? He taught me everything I know about disguises. That and my husband was his Santa."
Our jaws dropped. "What!" We both said in sync.
"Oh yeah, Toichi and Yusaku made a great team." She stated rather matter-of-factly.
Ooh Shinichi's gonna confess! Oh and the antidote has been found!
Kaito: I can't wait to see what my Shin-chan really looks like!
Me: Me neither! Ooh I can't wait!
Shinichi: I used to be in the news all the time; just look at one of those articles. I'm sure there's a picture of me in there somewhere.
Kaito: No, it wouldn't be the same.
Me: Yeah. A photo of someone just doesn't do the real person justice. Like me for example; I always look terrible in photos.
Shinichi: I highly doubt that.
Me: *Shows Shinichi and Kaito a recent school photo* Oh really. Just look at this.
Shinichi: Oh wow.
Kaito: My point exactly.
Me: I'm not even going to show you my family Christmas photos. The fact that I look awful in photos combined with my bad luck at this time of year leads to some terrifying results. *Shivers*
Anyway if you like my sweet little Christmas KaiShin then leave me a review! A favorite is also always appreciated!
