To be or not to be Forgotten

Chapter 4:The Lost

"Ummm...who is Conan-kun?"Conan(Shinichi) asked.

Everybody was shocked and 'gasped' in horror. Conan Edogawa had lost his memory.

"Shini--,I mean Conan-kun,don't play any games here. Don't you remember?You are Conan Edogawa. When you grow up you want to be a detective."said Professor Agasa.

"...Conan Edogawa?Detective?"But Conan couldn't remember them at all.

"Come on,Conan-kun,don't you remember?I am Agasa,this is Haibara Ai,Ayumi,Genta,Mitstuhiko,Inspector Meguire,Officer Sato,Officer Takagi,Sonoko-chan,Kogoro,and last but not least,Ran-chan. Kogoro and Ran-chan are the people,who are taking care of you right now,while your parents are doing buisness over seas."said Agasa,who hopes that will jog Conan's memory.

"I'm sorry,but I can't remember any of you."Conan responded.

"Conan-kun..."Ran said slowly,with her eyes getting watery.

A few days have passed,and on the last day,Conan had said 'good-bye' to the hospital. Kogoro and Ran drove Conan back to the agency.

"I hope Conan-kun can at least remember the agency."Ran thought staring at Conan.

Conan was looking at the window,with a still confused look on his face. He's figuring out what he did with his life.

When they arrived at the agency,Ran escorted Conan out of the car and into the building. When Conan got into the agency room and looked around,he still had a confused look on his face.

"So,Conan-kun,do you remember the agency?"asked Ran.

But,Conan responded,"No,I'm sorry."

Ran answered in a sigh.

"Ummm...do you mind pointing me to where I sleep.I want to rest for a while."Asked Conan.

"Sure,"responded Ran,"it's through that door over there. You can just take the bed."

"Hey,"said Kogoro,"but,the bed is mi--,"

"Shhh!"Ran said."Just let him sleep there for a while. He had a lot going on these past few weeks,so just let him sleep there."

"Hmph. Fine!"whined Kogoro.

A few hours have passed and Conan did not come out of the room. Ran got worried,so she went to go check on him. When she entered the room,Conan was still asleep. She looked at the clock and realized that it was 11:00 p.m. Kogoro was already asleep on Conan's futon. She then decided to go to bed. She was about to open the door to her room,when she heard a scream.

"AHHHHH!"

"CONAN-KUN!"Ran screamed. She ran to his room and opened the door,hitting her dad's face. He got up to call Ran,but I guess he was already to late. She had already found out. Without knowing what she had did to her father, she rushed to Conan's side."CONAN-KUN,ARE YOU OKAY?WHAT'S WRONG?"

Conan was shaking in fear , finally he said,"I had a really scary dream.I was tied up and beaten and also trapped in a fire and I burned to death!"

Ran was shocked,she hugged Conan tightly and Conan hugged her back."It's okay. It was only a dream."Ran said to calm him down.

"Thank-you. Arigatou,Ran-neechan."said Conan and started crying.

"Conan-kun..."Ran thought to herself.

About fifteen minutes later,Conan was asleep in Ran's arms. She noticed he was asleep so,she put him down on the bed...gently,hoping not to wake him up. Successfully, she did it. When she was about to leave the room,she saw her dad lying in front of the door.

"Dad...get out of the way of the door! What if Conan has another nightmare,and screams again?"Ran whispered."You don't want to get hit by the door,don't you?"

"Oh yah,we don't want that to happen."Kogoro said,sarcastically.

Ran went straight up to her room. When she got there,she laid on her bed and started thinking about some things. When a name popped up to her head.' Shinichi,where are you right now?I really need you,figuring out some things for me,you detective geek.'

A tear,then escaped from her eye.
