A/N:
Please don't get confused with the switched roles :)
This is a complete AU and I decided to change their roles to see what the possible outcome might be.
Well, we haven't seen this side of Shinichi after all, so ... why not give it a try :)
Apparently, Kaito ain't a thief in this story instead, taking Shinichi's role in the canon .
And.. Shinichi's case is a complete turn-around of character. hahaha. I'm so crazy.
CHAPTER FOUR
'All human beings have an innate need to hear and tell stories and to have a story to live by. religion, whatever else it has done, has provided one of the main ways of meeting this abiding need. '

Ran sat silent by herself, bored out of her mind. She looked at the clock above her head again, the hands pointed to the numbers reading 8:15.
" Wow, this is the 5th day in a row he's been late. Not like Shinichi at all." Just then the bell sounded and in ran Heiji, panting out of breath. " What's up Heiji?" Ran's face brighten, happy to finally have some company.
" Are you ok?" she asked with concern.
" Here..." Heiji said between taking a deep breath. In his hand was an ordinary white envelope.
" What's this?" Ran looked at the envelope curiously as she took it from Heiji's awaited hand.
" It's a letter for Shinichi," Heiji finally caught his breath. " Kaito asked me to give it to him."
" Kaito?" Ran was really confused now. " When have they gotten to know each other?"
" I don't know. All he told me on the phone was for me to give him this letter. Well I got to go now. I'm already running late for work." Heiji began to walk off waving goodbye to Ran.
" Wait! Going already?" she asked sadly.
" Yeah," he answered quickly. " Can't be late for work. In reality, Heiji could be as late as he wanted. The business was his own, an inheritance from his late parents.
" Well, ummmm... how about we go to..."
Heiji stopped and looked at Ran confused. " What is it?"
" I was wondering, what if we go to lunch together today?"
Heiji's eyes widen. Is she asking me out? " Uhhhh..."
" If you're busy, then that's ok!" Ran said quickly, sensing he might reject her offer.
" No no!" Heiji shouted before she got the wrong idea. " Lunch sounds great! I'll be by around noon to pick you up. Gotta go!" Heiji ran out the shop and skipped his way to his await limo. I got a date with Ran!
Shinichi struggled to pull his sweater on. He was so consumed in catching the news that he forgot to get dress for work. It's been that way the whole week ever since...
" I'm here live at the scene of the American Embassy as the police officials are helping everyone evacuate the building. Apparently, a young boy tipped off the police about the bombs set inside the building. They have found 4 out of 5 so far..."
Shinichi tuned in the news as he pour herself a cup of coffee from the kitchen.
" Come on, get to the weather forcast already!" Shinichi said to the TV. He felt a bit dumb at the moment.
He's never acted this way before. In fact, he didn't really remember watching the TV that much.
But now, he's caught himself checking the daily news, morning and evening, just to see the weather forecast. Sometimes he scolded himself for doing so, but he flipped on the TV daily without even a thought.
" ... And now for our 5 day forecast with Okino Yoko." annouced the anchor.
Finally! Shinichi ran to the livingroom and proped himself down in front of the TV. Well it looks like we can look forward to a nice clean weather for the next fiv..." Shinichi tuned out the rest after that. Damn, where's the snow when you want it? Wait a minute. Why do I want it? I'm not waiting for him. Kudo Shinichi waits for no one. Shinichi shook the thought from his head then grabbed his phone and walked out the door.
The walk to his agency was growing tedious. For some reason, Shinichi just wanted to stay home and lay on his couch, blanket pulled up to his neck... and with the TV on. Arghhhh! Stop thinking about him Shinichi! What's the matter with you? Shinichi was too deep in his thoughts to notice a car coming straight towards him.
The loud honking shook him from him thoughts. He turned around just in time to see the red corvette swirled left and right as it screech to a halt just a few inches away. Fear overtook his body for the first time in many years. He couldn't move his body. A strawberry blonde-haired girl ran out of the car and started yelling things he couldn't quite comprehend. She then stops once she got a good look at Shinichi. Her features changed to a softer, more concerned look.
" I'm sorry, are you ok?" The girl put her hand on Shinichi's shoulder. He finally snapped out of his daze at her touch.
" I'm fine!" he said sharply, shrugging off her hand. He didn't want anybody else's hands on him. The girl gave a startled look, but it quickly went make to the expression she had before.
" I'm sorry again. I wasn't wasn't paying too much attention." she tried once again to get on his good side.
" No, it's my fault. I didn't look before crossing. Don't worry about it." Shinichi started to walk off after that.
" Hey wait!, Can I at least have your name?" the girl called from behind.
" No!" he answered loud and clear.
" Humph," the girl snorted. " He looks like a challenge... I like that." She grinned as he watched him walk off. " You'll soon find out nobody walks away from Miyano Shiho that easily."
