Chapter 7: The real plan

Kaito didn't talk to Conan or his friend for a week. He knew that in Kudo's condition, he wasn't going to do muck thinking, so it was up to him. And frankly, he couldn't think of a thing.

Err...What can I do?! I need to bring the Men In Black down! This might be my only chance! I need to take advantage of this opportunity! But how?!

Aoko noticed the change in her friend. I wish I knew what was wrong with him. She missed his teasing. She didn't understand it, but she did. What startled her the most was that Keyogie and Kaito weren't talking to each other. They must have had a fight or something. That must be it. I wouldn't think that they would be this distant though. Would they? All day, there were three people in that classroom that wouldn't pay attention.

Conan was depressed. He became more and more depressed as the days went by. He stopped hanging out with the detective boys and spent more time in his room, staring at the wall. Ran was worried. What was wrong with him? Did he have a fight with one of his friends? Was it about Keyogie the other night? She thought again back to the other night. Keyogie called last night and said that she won't be able to come for three weeks for personal reasons. Na... That fight has nothing to do with anything. Almost getting stabbed was normal. Yes.

What could be wrong with him? Ran made her self more worried than before.

III

Two days before Valentine's Day, Conan decided that he was going to spend his last day with Ran. As Shinichi. I might as well make my last day wonderful for the both of us.

He gave up. He accepted defeat. He lost. He bowed his head, letting a single tear slide down his cheek before he went to sleep.

"I got it!!" Kaito exclaimed and bound for the phone.

"Uhh... Who the hell is calling me at 2 in the Gosh DAMN morning!" said the person on the other end of the phone.

"Listen! I know how to save Kudo, but are you willing to help."

"Not at 2 in the morning I'm not you ass hole. I finally got to sleep half hour ago and was having a nice dream about me killing people that wake me up at two in the morning." Keyogie said groggily.

"Whatever! Will you help? The only way that this will work is if you help."

"Huh? Oh sure. Whatever."

He quickly explained what his plan was.

"You know what Kuroba, that is a great plan... NO REALLY! It is! But was it necessary to call me this freaking early? Couldn't it wait until later in the morning?"

"No. I came to me in a dream." said Kaito in a dreamlike voice. "Keyogie? Keyogie are you there?"

Keyogie had slammed the phone down on the receiver and thrown the phone against the opposite wall violently. "Bastard." She moaned before falling back asleep.

III

"HEY KEYOGIE!" Kaito called to her on their way to school. " Are you still mad at me about me waking you up this morning?"

"Yes." She said simply, giving him a cold look.

"Ok. That's great! But there is one more thing." She groaned. "You can't tell Kudo OK."

"No problem."

"Umm...Ok then,"

III

Conan looked down at the small pill. So much in such a little pill. He thought. He sighed. It was 2.30 in the morning, Valentine's Day. He was sitting on his bed. Shinichi's bed. Well, this is it Ran. I'll spend the day with you, make you laugh, and tell you that I love you. Then, I kiss you. Then, say good-bye. Go and meet my fate. I will be able to die in peace, knowing that I told her how I feel.

He took off his Conan clothes, put on his Shinichi's clothes and popped the pill into his mouth. Then, waited for the pain to begin.

In his heart and the rest of him.

Ran wiped the tears as she went to answer the phone.

I'm sorry Ran-neechan,

The note said,

I'm leaving to go back to my parents in America. I just miss them too much.

Not as much as I'll miss you though. I'll write often. Thanks for everything.

Good-bye

Love,

Conan

He left in the night. Just left. The only thing left of him was a note. Well, at least he left a note. Unlike some people. She thought, making her heart cringe in pain.

"Moshi Moshi. Mouri Dete-"

"Hey Ran!"

"Shinichi!"

"Happy Valentines day! Can you do me a BIG favor?"

"Um...sure, anything."

"I couldn't be here in person so I left you something in your front door, could you open it while I'm on the phone? Please?"

"When did you leave it?" She asked walking toward the door.

"A few minutes ago."

"SHINICHI! I've been up for hours! Why didn't you come in for even a few minutes!? I wouldn't have kept you that long! Why?!" tears were streaming down her face. "I've really missed you Shinichi."

"Ran, just open the door." His voice seemed like it was holding in laughter. "If you really care about me, you'll open the door." He said in a sweetheart voice. "Your conscience will eat at you all day if you don't open the door! Mwahahahaha!" She could tell that he was holding the phone close to his mouth, trying to sound scary.

"Shinichi! You can be so childish you know that!" She said storming over the rest of the way to the door, smiling. " Fine! I'll open the door if it's soooo important to you!"

She swung the door open.

"Shinichi!"
