I'm back for another installment. Hopefully many of you have awaited this happily.
...
"...there's no problem with this..." Kaito whispered as their sweet soft melody continued.
Conan continued looking at the teen as he continued.
"...whatever this is..." Kaito said as his hand grasped Conan's. "Is fine with me..."
The 'younger' boy smiled at that and let their fingers entwine.
'There's no problem with this' Shinichi thought as he felt his heart beats quicken. 'And yet there is...it's as if...I actually want so much more...'
...
'Dear lucky winner,
I am gracefully honored to inform you that you have won the chance of a life time. I congratulate you, I truthfully do, in the matter that you have won an all expense paid trip to have a week stay at Phantasma, a new spectacular park within Fantasy Land. You and your family of four will not only get to experience a high class hotel and Phantasma, but also many other attributes of Fantasy Land. Within this box you will find the forms needed to show proof of your winnings. We hope you are as excited as we are to stay with us. Until then, have a Phantastic day.'
...
"I want you and Kaito to join us, seeing as I have five tickets"
"Oh, no, we couldn't" Aoko said with a shake of her head.
"Oh, yes you can and will" Ran said back making Aoko grin.
...
"So, we really did win an all paid for trip!" Mouri screamed in delight as he began digging into the box.
The others all giggled and then began celebrating in their own way, one thing they shared in common however was that they all suddenly began feeling that Phantasma was music, music that seemed so familiar yet so unknown.
...
The plane soared through the sky as Twilight burned brightly outside the windows.
Kaito amused himself with his tantei-kun's locks of hair as said boy slept peacefully.
'I love you so much...' He said within his head as he once again parted the others hair. 'You make all the rules of being a Kaito fall beneath me...'
The boy stirred a bit but only snuggled up as close as he can to the thief.
Kaito sat up a bit and looked about the other passengers.
Ran and Aoko were asleep along with Mouri, in fact everyone seemed to be sleeping still.
The thief looked back at the detective and smiled fondly.
"You know as much as I do, that somethings strange about all this, Tantei-kun" The teen mused in a whisper. "I'm usually not one with superstition...but what Akako has said worries me..."
...
"You might want to be prepared for anything" Akako had said to Kaito on his last day of school before he was to set off for Beika.
"And whys that?" The teen mused back with a sly grin.
"Ghosts of the past are returning, Kaito" The witch girl answered with no emotion. "And someone very close to you will be face-to-face with death unless you intervene"
...
Kaito sighed and then glanced at Conan once more.
"I won't let anyone try to hurt you again..." He whispered as he patted the others head again.
"Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around" He sang quietly recalling a song his mother use to sing to him as a child. "Nothing's gonna harm you, no sir, not while I'm around..."
...
"When are we getting there?" Mouri whined as the pre-awaited cab continued driving.'
"When we get there" Ran answered for the tenth time. "Honestly you act so childishly".
"And you act like your mother..." He mumbled under his breath so his daughter wouldn't hear.
"So, how big is this place anyhow?" The brunette girl asked Aoko who was currently looking at a map.
" I don't really know, but from this map it looks huge" Aoko answered.
"If you're talking about Fantasy Land, then it's enormous" The elderly cab driver commented making the two girls giggle.
"Oh, you've been there?"
"Of course, but that was years ago, it's gotten so much grander since my days." The man answered with his own smile. "Especially with Phantasma being added"
"Do you know anything about it?" Ran then asked intrigued.
"A bit, you see it's been barely in a year progress, and I've heard it's designer is a mystery, they said he built quite an elaborate illusion filled attraction."
"A mystery?" Kaito asked from his seat where Conan currently sat in his lap, the cab was quite smallish so they were all forced to squish up.
"Yeah...many people have never seen him, in fact Mr. Y, that's his name you see, is a very private person I'm told"
"Huh" Mouri said rather rudely. "Sounds to me like he just doesn't think hes worthy of commoners"
"I suppose" The cab driver said with a chuckle. "But the beauty of it is that it just relics in the mystery of Phantasma even more".
...
The cab pulled up into a secluded area that was prohibited to all other guests, suppose it's a special attribute to the winners.
"I feel so special" Aoko said in giggles to Ran who agreed.
Several oddly dressed workers from the park appeared and began taking their luggage.
"Hello, special guests" A man with a skull painted face greeted warmly. "I welcome you to Phantasma...and along with me are Mr. Y's other attributes."
"Attributes?" Conan asked confused.
Suddenly a song with a waltz rhythm blared off as a hugely odd decorated carnival wagon appeared. From within the wagon came out an ensembled cast of oddly looking people.
"I give you Mr. Y's attributes"
"Welcome" A girl greeted as she appeared from within a small crated box. "I hope your stay is Phantastic"
"As do I" A man said with a tattooed cover body and overly large piercings in his skull.
"Me too" A smaller voice shrieked.
Ran turned to her right to see a cute little girl in a flower dress. "I welcome you as well" She stated before she swigged out a bottle with a lighter and belched out a flame through her mouth.
Conan stared at the cast rather taken back before he was whisked off his feet from beneath.
"My names Fleck" A girl who oddly resembled a bird stated with a smile. In a quick shuffle she had tossed Conan up and had caught him easily to place him in Kaito's arms. "And 'I' want to welcome you to Phantasma"
"As do we!" An uproar began as a crowd of odd people pranced about to surround the 'special' guests.
Ran, Aoko, Kaito, Conan, and Mouri looked about in wonderment as clowns, gypsies, freaks, and other carnival guests danced around them spiraling flags and batons.
The music grew much louder as the 'attributes' started waltzing around in an array of colors and lights.
"We 'all' welcome you, to Phantasma!" They stated when the song had come to a close.
Right after the music had ceased the spectators had applauded happily.
"That was amazing" Ran commented to the group who stood before her.
"Why thank-you" They all said back with a bow.
...
Fleck and the skeleton man had excused the other 'attributes' and began ushering the guests into their quarters.
"As our special guests" The skeleton man proclaimed with a smile "You will each stay in your own room, apart from the other visitor hotels, think of it as the royal treatment".
"A treatment that no other has experienced here yet" Fleck added as she lead the party into a nice looking furnished building.
"Quite a place" Mouri commented as he looked at the furnishings of the bedrooms.
"Only the best" Fleck answered.
...
After explaining the room settlement and what not Fleck had asked if there was anything she could help them with.
"Actually...I wanted to know if we would get to see Mr. Y" Ran said making the bird woman smile instantly.
"Of course" She answered pleasantly. "Mr. Y is your host, and in good time he will see you, but till then I advise you to take a look around in Fantasy land, and if you need anything at all you can come here to look for me" She said before she left.
"That's strange..." Aoko said after a quiet moment.
"What is?" Mouri asked.
"...you would think our host would meet us as soon as we got here..."
...
And there you go, I hoped you enjoyed. Please review, oh and sorry for any grammar mistakes.
- Peace.
