Damien: Back to work, onna. You still have that comparison for the Butler. She does not own DC or the Supernatural, just Cirque and any other person/vamp/werewolf she makes.

--------------------------------
The figure stood there, watching him with amusement as he left the two alone to ponder on his words. He shook his head and walked away. He still had much to learn, but the boy knew enough. No matter: he would talk to him later. For now he would follow him and, when he noticed, have a little chat with him.
-------------------------------------
Conan immediately turned his head to the right. He felt a powerful feeling in that direction… 'Was that another vampire? I remember Cirque telling me that vampires can tell if another vampire or a werewolf is around, but not its identity. Well…one way to find out…' He thought, turning to Haibara.
"Watch my body again, will you?" he said as he pictured himself out of his body. In seconds, he found himself standing beside his somewhat empty-looking seven-year old body. A second later and the body slumped to the ground. Haibara took his body again, brow raised.
"Just to let you know, Kudou-kun, I can see you. I don't doubt that you being in my body for a short while did that to me." She said turning around and walking out of the school. "Whatever you're going to do, have fun in your normal body." She added.
'Wait…NORMAL BODY?' he looked down at his hands. He shook his head. 'Should have expected that…after all, I am 'Conan's' phantom.' He thought as he broke into a sprint in the direction of the powerful feeling he felt moments ago.
---------------------------------------------
He stopped and he did so as well. Finally, he had noticed him. "Long time no see, Lord Ash." He smirked. "And to you." The wind blew past both of them.
"Out of Feldar, Owen? I'm surprised." He said, dropping the lordly title.
"Siring more humans, I see." He simply replied.
"Ah, so you saw the boy." A pause came after his words.
"…You wouldn't leave Feldar unless something important happened. What happened, then?"
"He's alive." Those two words struck him. He turned around to face him.
"But…you killed him, I saw it…"
"Somehow, he survived. He fled Feldar in hopes of escaping me." He crossed his arms.
"But…what would he be doing here in this country besides going into hiding?"
"I don't know. I only know that he's around here somewhere." He said ruefully. He smirked.
"Why don't you ask a detective for help?" He smirked and shook his head.
"Nice try, but you know I prefer to look for him myself, modern days or not." He said, turning away from him.
"You're going to search for him now?"
"I just arrived. I'll take a rest and then look for him. For now, I would like to talk to the boy." He replied before walking away from him. The wind blew again.
"That is Owen Autumn Ash. You are to refer to him as Lord Ash and not Owen as it is inappropriate to call your grandsire so. I don't know what he wants with you but just be prepared for anything." He said as he walked away.
As soon as he was out of sight, Shinichi's ghostly figure phased out through the wall. "Takku, how does he do that…?" He mumbled to himself as he floated up into the air, heading for the Mouri detective Agency. So Owen is my grandsire. I know that much to not mess with a vampire who is twice, maybe three times older than Cirque. He thought as he phased through the wall.
By body should be where it's supposed to be. He looked around. Ran just exited his room. She probably just placed his body on the bed. As she walked down the hall, the unthinkable happened to our 'ghostly' tantei: He tripped on one of the many empty beer cans that Mouri-san had chugged down. How the hell did that happen?
...Well, you know what fate does to Shinichi.
Ahem, back to the picture then…Shinichi tripped on the can and, in the process, crashed into many things such as the wall, the table, the lamp, a boombox and a DVD set.
Since when did occ-chan get enough money to buy a DVD set? Shinichi's 'transparent' form was on the floor.
"Who's there?" Came Ran's alerted voice. Shinichi's crisis deepened. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit… Quickly he stood up, the various objects that were on him phasing onto the floor.
--------------------------------------------------
"Who's there?" Ran called out, alerted by the sudden crashing objects. Was it her father (Again, he was out playing mahjong) or was it a burglar? She quickly sprinted to the direction of the noise and surprise met her eyes.
She saw the form of a familiar teen in a blue school uniform. "S…Sh…Sh-Shinichi?" She asked. Said figure turned to her direction.
"R-Ran…" He whispered. Suddenly, the form of the high-school tantei rushed passed her. Rage surged through the karateka's body. She was not going to let Shinichi escape. "Get back here, Shinichi!" She Ran after him as his figure ran to…Conan's room?
As the door shut, the now confused karateka stood in front of the door. In a flash, she kicked the door open. The next thing that met her eyes was a startled Conan…but no Shinichi.
"C…C-Conan-kun?"
"Ran-neechan…you scared me…why did you kick down the door?" Ran looked at the door and nervously chuckled. She put the door back in its place.
"Sorry about that, Conan-kun. For a second, I thought I saw Shinichi run into your room…"
------------------------------------------------------------
Whew, saved at the last second, Shinichi thought as he crept out of the window. Climbing up to the roof, he quickly ran at a vampire's top speed (which is pretty fast) to Beika Park. I could have been found out right there and could've gotten my ass kicked badly if I didn't rush into the room and went back into my body.
But I don't get it. How was she able to see me and how in the seven blue hells was I able to trip on those various objects when I'm astral projecting? He thought as seconds later, he slowed down, moving at a walking pace in Beika Park. Wind passed through his brown locks as he slowed to a stop, eyes narrowed ahead at the figure in front of him.
"Lord Ash, we meet at last." He greeted, giving a slight bow. He only nodded to the vamp-tantei in return.
"I know much about you by a glance. Many older vampires will be able to do that in time. You, however, can only do so much as to roll humans and go at top speed." Owen stated, his ice blue eyes looking at Conan's. Conan focused on his grandsire's features instead of locking eyes with him. He knew that much to not lock eyes with a vampire that was stronger than him.
Hm…must've been bitten at around twenty or so. Conan thought as he eyed the long scythe he brandished. The tiny tantei bit his lip. "You're a black mage, aren't you?"
Owen had a good poker face; one worthy of a Kuroba. Still, he was surprised by the sudden statement. Slowly, the Mage nodded. "Yes, I am a black mage. You can tell just by looking as well?" If that is so, then he is a fast learner. Perhaps I underestimated this boy… He thought as he waited for the answer.
"Cirque started to teach me about the different supernatural beings. I'm kind of reluctant about it since I really didn't believe the supernatural, but I'm slowly getting used to it." He replied, eyes on the scythe. "Black Mages can hold a staff or a scythe, depending whether he or she uses defensive or offensive black magic. White Mages can only hold staves, since they only use healing and defensive magic."
"Correct," Basic knowledge is quite up to date…I have underestimated the boy…I won't make that mistake. "Cirque has taught you well, Grandchilde." He said as slowly he turned away from Conan.
"Be assured that this won't be the last time you see me."
---------------------------------------------------------------
A/N: Just wanted to change a few things…probably won't notice it, but I have changed a few things. Oh, and another thing.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Haibara brushed her hair and looked at the mirror. As she did so, the sound of the door opening and closing was heard. She turned around to see who was doing it but but saw nothing and so she continued to brush her hair. The next thing she heard were foot steps. Again she looked behind her to check if someone was spying on her but no was there. The footsteps stopped. Warily, she looked back in the mirror to finish the last few strokes. She sighed moments later and put her brush down.
"I am not going to let Kudou-kun get to me---!" Haibara jumped: Conan was right behind her.
"Kudou-kun...H-how?" She stuttered. He grinned, showing his inch-long fangs, and tapped her on the nose.
"When looking for a vampire, always look above you, Haibara."
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, couldn't help it. Just wanted to poke fun at Haibara. Haibara's reply to that will be posted on the next chapter. Read, Review, and Peace out!
