A/N: Wow, six chapters and already thirty reviews! Thanks a lot, guys! I wonder if this one will surpass my other Kagome/Jimmy fic...maybe. I thought that just two temporary antidotes and then one permanent one was boring, so I...spiced it up a bit. You'll see. :)
Remember Me, Jimmy Kudo
Chapter 5: Seeing Right Through You
When a week went by, the first antidote was ready. Kagome had called Jimmy over to try it, and he couldn't wait. She promised that none of them would kill him, that they had all been tested before in the past. But because they wouldn't kill him, she didn't know what else might happen. So he was nervous as he made his way towards Agasa's, where Kagome was currently staying. The two were getting along fairly well, as Conan noticed, it was clear to see she was growing attached to him. But then, who wouldn't? He and the professor had been friends for years, after all.
Conan knocked on the door, but this time Kagome answered it instead of Agasa. She was wearing a rather short green skirt, and an even shorter shirt, which didn't reveal much unlike the skirt. Whoever designed her school uniform must be a pervert, he thought to himself.
"Ah, Jimmy! I just finished it," Kagome smiled. "But I'm not sure what it'll do, I just know it won't kill you."
Conan rolled his eyes, following her inside and kicking his shoes off on the mat. "Gee, that's reassuring."
She giggled before taking his hand and leading him into the living room, where a small vial containing a green liquid stood on an old coffee table. Kagome walked over to it, and gently picked it up, holding it between two of her fingers as she walked back over to him. She knelt down, handing him the vial.
"Here."
Conan stared at for a moment. "So, this could be temporary, right?"
"I-It could be..." Kagome stuttered, sounding a little bit unsure. Conan's eyes narrowed suspiciously.
"Kagome," he began in a serious voice, but she cut him off.
"Don't give me that tone of voice, mister!" Kagome said with a frown. "Look, I know it won't kill you, its been tested before, Kaede told me. She did say it had something...interesting to it, though."
"Good interesting, or bad?"
Kagome shrugged. "I dunno, she never told me more than that. But, go on, drink it! I wanna see what happens already."
Conan chuckled. Who was the eight year old here? He stared at the vial for a moment, before bringing it up to his lips, and downed it all in one drink.
As soon as he did, he dropped the vial with shaking hands, but Kagome couldn't catch it in time, so they both heard it break, shattering into tiny pieces of glass that scattered across the floor around them.
"Jimmy?" She asked worriedly, looking over at him. "Jimmy, what's wrong?"
I wasn't expecting this, Kagome thought worriedly as she helped Conan over to the couch, who was shaking uncontrollably now. Oh, Kaede, why didn't you tell me more about this!
The minute Conan was sitting on the couch however, he closed his eyes tightly as if in pain. It was almost unbearable, but somehow different than other times when he would change from Conan to Jimmy. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, though.
Kagome's eyes widened. Sweat was dripping from Jimmy's forehead, his eyes were closed tightly in pain, so much that Kagome thought he was having a heart attack.
"Jimmy, Jimmy say something!" she pleaded.
"K-Ka-" He winced, and reached out a shaking hand for her, but when she went to take it...
He disappeared.
She blinked a few several times. "Jimmy!" she called again, looking around, before feeling a cool sensation on her shoulder, like she was being touched. Sensing something behind her, she turned, only to find...
Nothing?
"Jimmy? If this is your idea of a sick joke, I swear to god I'll-"
"Relax, Kagome," came his voice, but it still sounded like Conan and not the voice she'd heard earlier. She sighed. "Guess it didn't work, huh?"
"No, but...something did happen. I'm right behind you."
"Wha? No you're not, there's nothing there!"
"I'm touching your shoulder right now!" he defended himself.
Kagome blinked, sitting there in a daze. Was it possible that she just-
"You said it wouldn't kill me!" he pouted, even though she couldn't see.
"Oh hush, it didn't kill you, idiot," Kagome rolled her eyes. "But apparantely, it made you invisible."
This made Conan go quiet for a moment. "I...invisible?"
Kagome nodded. "You can see me, right?"
"Yes."
"But I can't see you, and you're right behind me. Well, in front of me now. So, you're invisible."
I hope this one sure is temporary, he thought to himself.
"Do you know how long its supposed to work?"
Kagome shook her head. "No. I just know its not permanent, the ingredients, and how long it takes to make. There's not much known on these potions other than how to make them. I got what little information I could from Kaede."
He sighed, but then a smirk lit his face. He might actually be able to have some fun with this. "Hmm, it might not be so bad.... have you started on the other potion yet?"
Kagome shook her head. "No, not yet. I was going to start today after I saw what this one did to you. Now I'm curious if it'll do the same to me, or is it something different that happens to each person?" she said thoughtfully, tapping her finger to her chin.
Conan rolled his eyes even though she couldn't see. "Well, even though this might be fun, what am I going to tell Rachel? First Jimmy disappears, and now Conan? Literally this time, though."
She giggled. He had a point. "Um....oh! Maybe Conan's parents came by on a surprise visit, and took him with them for a while."
"That works," Conan agreed. "Who knows where my parents are at the moment."
She smiled. "Do you miss them?"
He blinked, surprised at the question. "I uh... sometimes, but I wouldn't leave here for anything."
"Because of Rachel, right?" she asked, her voice teasing. She couldn't see it, but he was blushing just a bit.
"I....I...."
"It's alright, you don't have to answer," Kagome smiled knowingly. "Buuuut, I do know your blushing."
"Kagome!" he went to kick her, forgetting he was invisible at the moment, when suddenly his foot went right through her.
The girl shivered, wrapping her arms around herself. "You'rer cold, Jimmy. Go...go sit in front of the fireplace or something."
He laughed and shook his head, wondering why he wasn't able to touch her, when he was able to do things like sit on a couch.
This might not be so bad, after all.
Conan grinned, already forming up a plan.

A/N: Uh oh, what does Conan have in mind, and for who? I know! I know! And, if the first potion made him temporarily invisible, what could the second one do? Any ideas?
