Chapter 3

==========Ai's POV==========

I could believe what I've heard.

"Yeah, I mean what I said ! Kudo Shinichi will be no more, and Edogawa Conan is born. I have no reason to force you to create the antidote !" he said, relief a sigh.

'As well as Miyano Shiho, too! I can start a new life, having new friends and no more about my dark past.' I thought

"Sorry for interrupting, but I think we should get back to class." Tsuburaya-kun interrupted. "Conan has woken up. "

Each of us hold a side of Conan and helped him to get back to class.

[In the class]

As we opened the class door, Kobayashi-sensei came quickly. She asked: "How do you feel now, Conan-kun?"

The shrunk detective replied weakly: "Yes, sensei. I was a little tired!"

As he walk toward his desk, Ayumi was a bit nervous : "Are you okay, Conan-kun?"Asked the girl.

"Yeah, whatever." Answered the little detective. He didn't care about anything.

Ayumi looked sad because of his replied, when I gave a smirk

[After class]

==========Conan's POV==========

I was walking alone, thinking of why Ran wants to break up. I tried to avoid anyone with any question like: "Are you okay?"or "What's wrong?". I heard a familiar voice: "Heart breaking news, huh?"

I turned back to saw a little strawberry blonde with a smirk on her lips.

"I don't care about that girl, neither her feelings to me, Haibara."

I replied.

I felt like my heart shattered into pieces when I said that.

"Look, Conan. I apologise for what I've done!" she said with a sorrow tone.

I realized that she meant it when she said 'apologise' and I'm sure this is the first time she mean it when she apologise me.

"Haibara, I can't blame you for this. I should blame myself because I can't keep her." Another tear fell down but I took no care.

"Thanks. But anyway, we shall go home. It's dark outside."Haibara suggested.

"Yes, Ai!" I replied. Oh wait, did I just called her by her first name?I cursed myself for that. Now, she might want to end our friendship and give me a do-not-call-me-by-my-firstname slap.

"It's okay, Conan-kun." She said warmly. "Can I call you by your first name too?"

"Of couse, Ai" I answered when I saw that I was nose-bleeding. It's like a waterfall. 'What happened to me?'I thought. Ai gave me a smirk as she saw this.

I walked Ai home. I stared at her multiples times when I realized I was blushing. I didn't know what happened to me, it just like… everytime I stay near her, somehow, I feel so comfortable.

As we reached house, the big, fat scientist opened the door. Ai lied on the near by couch when Hasake asked: "Where were you? I was so worried ! And Shinichi, I've heard the news. I'm sorry!"

"I'm not so sad about that, but anyway, I want to ask you something, Proffesor. I think I may stay here at your house. After all had happened, seeing her everyday would torture me in pain, shatter my heart more than anything else . I can't see her hanging with another man. Please, can I stay, Hasake?" I begged him. I tried to use the childish tone to convince him.

"I suppose that I can't deny you so… Yes." Replied Hasake "When will you start packing yor stuff?"

"Oh, I think will head for the Detective Agency now." I said "And Hasake, thanks."

I ran out with lightning speed, as Hasake watched me.

I was running when I crashed two men dressed in black. The first man was tall. His long silver hair went down to his hip. His eyes were cold and murderous. Along with him was a shorter man, wore black glasses and vest. I soon realized they were Gin and Vodka. I told myself to calm down. I tried to act like a normal kid "I'm so sorry! I couldn't see you" I pretended. I could hear Vodka whispered to Gin: "Aniki, This kid looks like the dead brat Shinchi Kudo we killed by APTX. I've heard about some side effect that can happen. What should we do?"

"Calm down Vodka. This kid was the one we met when we were sniping at the Detective Agency on Beika Street. Like Vermouth said, killing him would only risk our chance to go to jail." Gin said "Although he looks harmless, but we must be careful. He maybe got along with Shuuichi Akai and live under his protection. If we touch him, Akai will know and locate us. We should leave before he reconized us."

After the 'little conversation', they got away, back to Gin's Porche

==========Author's POV==========

[That evening at Mouri Detective Agency]

Conan went up the stairs, opened the door. He was still afraid of the moment he encountered Gin and Vodka.

He saw the 'Sleeping Detective' behind the desk, reading a news paper and complained about the busy day he had at the Police HQ. That's strange! Usually, Kogoro-ojiisan would spend all his time drinking and watching the horse races. But since Kisaski-sensei returned, no one saw himm hanging around, gambling nad play Mahjong. He has changed, in a good way. Now he spends a lot of time for his family.

"Good evening, ojiisan!" said Conan.

"Here you are, where have you been. Do you know that Eri and I worried about you a lot." Said the former detective. He was a bit upset.

"It's getting late, Conan-kun. You should have dinner. I'm sure that you're already hungry."Said Kisaki-sensei. She's still a lawyer, the best lawyer in Tokyo.

"Come here Conan. The food is very good." said Ran. She gave me a lovely smile. I still can't believe that she is so happy after breaking up with Conan (honestly let just say breaking up with Shinichi Kudo).

"I'm sorry, neechan. I'm not hungry, so I think I'll past."Conan replied "And, I have some thing to tell you!"

"What is that?" All of them asked, in sync.

"I'm not going to live here anymore. Tonight, I'm moving to Hasake's house." Said Conan, tried to make it at childish as possible.

"Why Conan-kun? Do you feel uncomfortable living with us?"asked Ran-the girl who made him heartbroken.

"No, neechan. It just like…uhm…Hasake is like my father, and Ai-chan is like my sister."Conan answered.

"So we will help you to pack your stuff. I think your decision is your own, even though I will miss you a lot." said Mouri-ojiisan, a little disapointed "You brought me fame and money since the first day you entered the house."

They helped him pack his stuff. After that Kogoro Mouri dorve him to Hasake's house. They arrived after 5 minutes.

"Take care of yourself, brat. Remember, we always think of you as a family member." Said Kogoro.

"I will, goodbye, ojiisan."

Kogoro drove away, left Conan in front of the door.

==========Ai's POV==========

I was lying on the couch. Hasake said that he would be away for a project in Canada. I heard the door bell rang. I knew it should be Conan-kun. I allowed him to call me by my first name, as well as he did to me. I opened the door when I saw him. The shrunk detective smiled weakly, hid his pain but I could see it clearly in his eyes. I greeted him and help him to unpack his stuff in his room.

[5 minutes later]

We had finished unpacking his stuff and now we are on the couch, watching TV. I remembered the moment I had with oneechan when I was young, lying on the couch, watching TV. She was the only one who could comfort me, and now it's Conan. I do have romantic feelings for him, but a dream is just a dream. He will never like me, 'cause I'm the one who destroyed his life.

Conan broke the silence between us: "Ai, this afternoon, I encountered Gin and Vodka one the street."

"What?"
