Opening 19

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a normal day for the students of Teitan High School.

Sonoko wondered why Ran hasn't showed up for ages. And for once, the gossip queen was silent.

"Ran, where are you? Why didn't you call me?" Sonoko sank her head onto the table. Nobody would care anyway because school was over. "oh…I sound like Ran already…" Then Sonoko beamed her eyes. "Maybe she ran off with Kudo-kun! Ooh! How romantic…I'll forgive you this time Ran, but you have to tell me everything." She grinned and walked off happily with her classmates staring strangely at her.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Achoo!" Rei sneezed.

"You okay?" Conan inquired handing her a handkerchief.

"Thank you. I'm okay. I think somebody was talking about me. That's all." She said as she sat at the sofa looking up, leaning her head at the back of the sofa. She's so sleepy.

"But you're burning up!" Conan said as he climbed up the sofa where Rei sat, stood up and checked her temperature by leaning his head onto hers. Like they always did when they are sick.

Ran blushed. "No, it must be—it must be the heat! Y'know, it's getting hot these days." Ran waved her hand as if she is fanning herself.

"Bad liar." Shinichi said with half-mooned eyes jumped down the sofa facing her.

"No…look!" Ran tried to stand up and failed. Instead she stumbled but luckily, she got caught by Shinichi. "oohhh…"

"Told ya, you're not good enough to lie to me. I'm a detective." Shinichi then carried her in his back, good thing she's smaller than him now, and went to their room. Shinichi felt the warm and heavy breathing of Ran in his neck. 'Oh no, It's getting worse.'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She stirred.

'uhh…' Ran touched her forehead. 'I feel like I'm burning…' She closed her eyes again for the last time then she tried to sit up. But she failed. Then the door creaked open.

"Don't push yourself too much." Conan said as he walked in, carrying a tray of food.

"Ahh…Shinichi..." Ran lied back. Conan placed the tray on the table near the bed and sat on the bed. "You have a very high fever because of the rain yesterday. Why didn't you bring your umbrella when you went to the grocery store?"

"I forgot?" Ran said then chuckled. "And besides, I don't know that it's going to rain yesterday…" She scratched her head.

"Ok, ok, you have to rest for now. You'll skip school today. But unfortunately, I have to go to school. So I can't take care of you. But I'll ask Hakase to watch over you. And I'll get back as soon as I get done in school, okay?" He fed Ran with a spoonful of soup.

"Yeah…I feel a little dizzy today so I can't really make it up…" She swallowed the food that he gave her.

"Oh Ran, I'll get going. Wait for Agasa-hakase, ok?" Then he kissed her forehead. "Don't push yourself too hard. You can ask Hakase to do things for you." He stroked her forehead. "Ja ne!"

"Be careful, Shinichi!"

"Don't worry, I will!" Then he closed the bedroom door.

A few seconds later, she heard the main door clicked. 'Maybe Shinichi has left.' She thought. 'So lonely here…Don't worry Ran, Hakase and later, Shinichi will come see me soon…I hope.' Then she looked at the window beside her. 'Ah…there he is…'She saw Shinichi walking towards the school.

'Maybe, I could sleep for a while.' Then she drifts off to slumber land.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blood.

Warm, red blood spurting everywhere.

Then, there stood a young boy. Whose arms are raised protectively to the little girl behind him.

But wait---

That little girl is me!

The young boy transformed into an adult. A boy who I know the most.

Yes. There he stood covered with blood. Shinichi. My Shinichi.

I also noticed that I'm back into being the normal Ran.

I can't move. I can't cry. I can't shout.

I can't hug him. I can't heal him. I can't protect him.

Then, I saw two black cloaked men. Then I realized that I was holding Shinichi.

'Ran…'

Then I felt a cold metal on my head.

"Now, die."

I didn't have the time to react. Shinichi calling my name. The men trying to shoot me. Short range.

Then I closed my eyes, held Shinichi in his last breath and waited for the event to happen.

Before red, But now, all I can see is black.

The most cruel color of all, Black.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ah!" Ran shot up from her bed. "Just a dream..just a dream…" She wiped her forehead and sighed. 'It's already noon…'

Then the door creaked.

"Conan?" She called.

But the person didn't replied back.

'Oh no…I think…' Ran quickly hid under the bed. 'They've found us!'

Ran curled more under the bed, shivering.

'Oh no…he's coming for me…Sorry, Shinichi…' Then she closed her eyes and cried.

"Ran-chan?" The man said. He left the tray at the table beside the bed. Then he crouched near the bed to look at the little girl under it.

"Oh Ran –chan! Why are you crying!?" Professor Agasa said, wide-eyed. "C'mon, little girl, what's wrong? Shinichi told me you were sick and I was worried so I ran here. The first time I got here is I saw you sleeping, so I left to buy your food. "

'Ok, ok, you have to rest for now. You'll skip school today. But unfortunately, I have to go to school. So I can't take care of you. But I'll ask Hakase to watch over you. And I'll get back as soon as I get done in school, okay?' Shinichi's words rang on her head. "Oh…I forgot…I thought you were somebody else." She wiped her tears and got back on the bed.

"You're still feverish so don't push yourself too hard okay?" Then Professor Agasa scooped a spoonful of soup and gave it to Ran.

"Hai, Agasa-hakase." Then she gulped the soup.

"Oh, and It's about time for Shinichi to come back…He may take for about half an hour. Don't worry." Agasa-Hakase assured her.

"Arigatou." She smiled.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Tadaima!" Conan went upstairs to see Ran.

"Hello, Shinichi-kun. Oh, Ran-chan, remember, be careful okay?" Agasa said.

"Hai!" She smiled.

The he left the room. "Take care you her okay? She's crying when I saw her a while ago." Hakase whispered to Shinichi.Then Shinichi softened his face a little. 'Maybe a little trauma got into her…'

"Are you okay now?" Shinichi removed his bag and put it on the table.

"A little bit…But thanks to you two, Because you took care of me." She smiled.

Shinichi blushed.

"Oh, were you crying?" Shinichi pointed to her eyes.

"No…"

"You're really a bad liar…I can see that your eyes are red and swollen." Shinichi touched her cheek. "And because, I know you very well. Now, what's the problem?"

"I-I can't remember…but one thing I remember is…" Then she wrapped her arms around her, shaking and tears forming at the corner of her eyes. "Black."

He could see the fear in her eyes and in her actions. It really breaks his heart. Both of them.

Then he climbed up the bed and suddenly hugged her.

"Don't cry. Don't worry, we can overcome this." He tightened his grip on a warm Ran, her face buried in his chest, sobbing. "I'll help you. I'll do anything."

"Gomen…Shinichi…" She almost choked because of her sobs.

"You don't have to do that, Ran. I'm the one responsible for this. As long as we're together, we can do it." His face seemed too painful for that situation. He doesn't want anyone to be involved in the mess. Especially Ran. Now…

"I'm the one who have to say that I'm sorry." Then he pushed Ran back a little. "I'm sorry that I put you to this situation. Even if it's in the impossible situation, just smile, okay?"

She nodded. The he wiped her tears. "Smile."

Hesitant at first. But slowly, she smiled. A very angelic smile of all.

And he was relieved. His angel is back.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He started the engine of his black Porsche.

"So, they're been found?" The man with a long, black hair said.

"Based on our reports, the target, no, the targets are confirmed to be alive and are located. They are helpless now so---"

"Don't underestimate them." Gin said smirking. "I know that if we became careless of the situation, it can be the end of the organization."

"But Vermouth did a good job." Then an old man entered the car and removed his mask, which revealed a shocking identity.

"Angel did seem to notice something but she only shrugged it away." Vermouth threw the disguise on the window and prepared herself. "Mission completed."

Then they left in their parking place and returned to their headquarters.

Leaving the Kudo mansion behind.
