I'll update this weekly or as often as I can.
Chapter 3: A place to call home?
Haibara's eyes bugged on stalks. She was running a few tests in the basement when we knocked. After all, if two random strangers who somehow knew your name showed up on your doorstep and asked for your help, you would be scared too. This was definitely not normal. But hey, she made a drug which shrunk people down to their seven year old self, so her definition of normal was different to that of most people. She recovered fast. Haibara couldn't detect the aura that usually surrounded most organisation members, so it definitely wasn't them. But she still had to be cautious. She had seen completely innocent people commit atrocious crimes, so she couldn't be sure if the boy and girl in front of her were as peaceful as they seemed. Haibara decided to ask again. "Who are you? What do you want?"
ooo
Ania looked nervously at me."I screwed up, didn't I?" I sighed. The sun was starting to set and I didn't think I would like to be out after dark. "How about I just do the talking?" She nodded. Then a fat old man appeared behind Haibara. "Who are you two?" I sighed. "My name is Sam. This is my friend Ania." She gave a friendly wave. "I think it would be better if I explained everything inside." Dr Agasa looked at us suspiciously. I think it was due to the fact that two thieves tasered him and stole his living room rug before. That was one of my favourite cases. He sighed. "Alright come on in."
ooo
One long explanation later about everything (including the portal), Haibara seemed to open up a bit more towards us. But she still had questions. "One last thing. How did you know our names? I don't think we have seen you in a case before." Uh oh, this was going to be hard to explain. "Ok, um, the thing is, you guys technically aren't real." Haibara raised an eyebrow. "In the world we came from, you guys are in an anime and manga called Detective Conan that was created by a guy named Gosho Aoyoma. That has been going for twenty long years. And as far as I know, it hasn't ended yet." Haibara stroked her chin. "Interesting. Our lives are being controlled by strings. We are nothing more than puppets being controlled by a single man." I sighed. "Is she always like this?" Professor Agasa nodded. Nia broke the awkward silence. "So can we stay, please?" The doctor pondered this for a moment. "Alright, you two can stay. But promise me you will not reveal anything about the drug to anyone else." We bowed our heads in gratitude. "Arigato-gozaimashita doctor." He chuckled. "You're welcome. You two can crash on the couch-" He was interrupted by a small glasses wearing boy running excitedly into the house. "Professor! Kid just sent a new heist note and..." Conan realised that there were two people he had never seen before sitting on the couch having tea with the professor. I was feeling mischevious, so I decided to scare the pants off him.
"Hi Kudo!" I chirped cheerfully.
Screwing with protagonist almost immediately on arrival. I'm so evil! Muhahah!
