Comfort

Hey guys how you doing? Well here is the the 9th chapter and chapter 8 was so sad that it almost made me cry while writing it. Let's hope that this chapter gets better for our two favorite characters. :D

All characters in this story belong to the creator of Detective Conan Gosho Aoyama.

Ai POV

I ran to one of the bathroom stalls and cried quietly in there after hearing what Kudo said. I didn't want him to die even if he was one of them. I'll forgive him just like he forgave me and how he also trusted me. Is it because this what was bothering him the past few weeks, how he won the game, and he kept his facade up. He was part of them and became a detective which was the complete opposite of the org. How did he escape from them and how did he also hang around with Mouri san all those times. He had to train for at least 10 years before he could become so good at hiding his emotions and also his skills and speed was far beyond anyone that I've ever seen before. I didn't want him to die because of me and after I broke his hear I don't know how I'll fix it. I came out of the stalls and washed my face to hide the tears. I did it well but my red eyes couldn't be hidden so I walked out and joined the kids. Right away Ayumi noticed it and knew that I was crying.

"Ehh! Ai chan, your eyes are red were you crying?" Ayumi asked

"Haibara san who made you cry?" Genta and Mitsuhiko in sync

"It was Edogawa kun." I accidently said having those words slip out my mouth

"WHAT CONAN MADE YOU CRY!" The three shouted so loudly that almost every boy could hear her

Before I could answer every boy was walking towards the room where he was in. I thought that he was fighting them back but after every boy except for Mitsuhiko and Genta left he was there on the ground with bruises and blood stains on his body.

"Why didn't you fight back?" I asked trying to hold back tears

"I heard what the kids said from outside and I felt guilty. I had to punish myself for making you cry so this was what I got." He said smirking then trying to stand up and fell back down

"I guess some of them had a strong punch and I couldn't handle the attacks in this body. I think that I have like 6 broken ribs, dislocated and broken right arm, twisted left ankle, broken nose, 2 black eyes, and a broken right leg. I hope that this was equal to the pain that you felt, if not then I'll take more. Don't worry I won't fight back and I don't try to block it again." He said

"It's true he didn't block a single hit. Even after the stepped on him and kicked him he just smirked and let them hit him. We felt guilty so we didn't do anything to him." Mitsuhiko said

"Why! Why do you do this for me!" I shouted at him with tears running down my face now.

"I already told you before didn't I? And I'm sorry that I couldn't keep my promise to you." He said and fainted

We took him to the nurse's office to get him checked up and I learned that his injury was worse. He had both his legs and arms dislocated and broken and had 8 ribs broken. She said that he also lost a lot of blood and was in critical condition between life and death so she called the ambulance.

"What happened to him?" The nurse asked

"Almost every boy beat him up." Ayumi said in tears

"He talked to Haibara about something after everyone left." Mitsuhiko said

"What! He was still talking?" The nurse exclaim

"Why? What if he talks?" I asked

"I didn't want to say this but if it was a normal kid they would have blacked out after that but he was still talking so he must have a strong will. Also I didn't want to say this but he was wasting his breath when he was talking to you." The nurse said shaking her head

"Why was he wasting his breath? Tell me!" I said almost shouting

"Well his lungs were pretty well damaged when I checked them and could only store little air. If he had blacked out right away then he would keep the air he already had for back up between his short breaths. But he wasted most of it talking to you. It seems like he knew it also but continued with the risk." The nurse said

I looked at the boy laying on the bed now barely breath between his labored breaths. The ambulance came a while later and took him with them. I wasn't allowed to go because I still had school to attend but the tears wouldn't stop running down my face. When I returned to class I walk to my desk and put my head down to cry some more. I didn't want anyone to see my face, I knew if Kudo was here he would have had an excuse for both of us to go somewhere so if I cried the kids wouldn't see it. I cried more after thinking about him and what he said to me. He took all that attacks because he wanted to punish himself for making me cry and after I broke his heart? The nurse said that he was in critical condition and his lungs were damaged but he still had to talk to me. He didn't need to go that far, he could have told me when it after he got treated. I then remebered to what he said earlier that day during lunch.

Flash Back

"I'm sorry I scared you Haibara. I'll make it up to you by ending myself after I'm finished with them." He said to himself

"I'll get out of your life after I defeat the organization and also ending myself so you won't have to be afraid of me or the org anymore." He told himself

Flash Back End

He didn't care if he died there because he would have killed himself after the defeat of the organization. I stared out the window thinking about him and hoping that he was alright in the hospital. After the school finally ended I headed straight to the hospital where he was being held at. I went up to the front desk to ask where his room was.

"Excuse me which room is Edogawa Conan staying in?" I asked

"He is still in intense care currently because we are trying to fixed his squashed lungs. He will be in room 231 after he gets out." The receptionist said

"Thank you." I said and ran outside the intense care room

After a while more people came to visit him. There was: The Detective Boys, Mouri san, Kogoro, Hakase, Hattorie, and Kuzaha. Hattorie and Kuzaha flew from Osaka to here when they heard that Conan was in intense care. It has been 3 hours since he came into the hospital. I didn't think that these elementary kids could do so much damage to someone. After about 2 more hours the doctors came out pushing a bed to the room 231. We waited for the doctor to come back out to ask about his conditions.

"Doctor how is he?" Ran asked

"He is in good condition but he kept repeating 'I'm sorry Haibara' over and over during his care. Even after we put him to sleep he kept saying that for a few minutes until he bcame silent." The doctor said

"Can we go inside to visit him?" I asked

"Sure go in on right ahead." The doctor said then walked away

As I entered I saw him breathing through an oxygen mask, his eyes were black, his nose was a little crooked, and his arms were twisted a little, and finally his legs were in an awkward position. We walked towards him and Ayumi started to cry after she saw him. Mitsuhiko and Genta looked at each other feeling guilty. Everyone was shocked of his condition after they saw him and Ran ran towards him. I felt a prang of jealousy as I saw her caress his face and being so close to him. After a while we decided to leave him and come back tomorrow. I went to school the next day and was bored to death until the bell rang. I usually took my time but today I rushed packing up everything and ran to the hospital. I ran to his room right away and pulled a chair up to sit next to him. I caressed his face and hair while talking to him.

"Hey Kudo wake up, you know we're all worried about you." I said

"You might not know this but I love you to. I denied it back then because I thought that you only love me out of pity. I then thought about it and knew you were serious, then you admitted that you were Chambord made me afraid but never came after me but instead helped me." I said brushing his hair out of his face

"Also when you wake you I want you back and not Chambord so I can confess to you and not someone else okay?" I said then gave him a kiss on the cheek

I then went to the table and started to do my homework when I heard some shuffling on the bed. I looked at the bed and saw his fingers start to move and his eyes start to flutter open. I rushed to his side right away when I saw this.

"Kudo kun are you okay?" I asked

"I'm I'm sorry Haibara that I made you worried." He said

"What are you talking about?" I asked

"I got you worried after I fainted. I'm sorry." He said

"It's okay. The thing is that you are safe now." I said

"Thanks Haibara." He said smiling

"You better get well soon or I won't forgive you and I have something I want to tell you." I said

"Okay I promise I'll get better soon." He said

"Good now I got to go so you rest." I said

"Okay bye." He said

"Bye." I said leaving the room

I felt happy that he was better now and wasn't fighting for his life in his sleep anymore. I want to tell him my feelings as soon as possible. I walked home to Hakase's house happily and was greeted by Hattori and Kuzuha who was staying there for the week. I had a smile plastered on my face and walked past their puzzeled expression. I knew that in a few days he would come back and I could tell him, I've always wanted to tell him my feelings but he liked Mouri san I couldn't do that to her. I told him several times and then ended saying that it was a joke. I really meant it but I couldn't do that since he still had feelings for her. I brushed my teeth and went to bed smiling happily even in my dreams.

3 Days Later Conan POV

I was released from the hospital 3 days later after I woke up and my little talk with Haibara. I was really anxious to know what she wanted to tell me. I thought that she was going to confess but then I remembered that day and then in a flash Chambord came back. I also remembered the deal with Gin and I had only 3 days left before I have to go and back to the org. I didn't know how our relation was because the day after the meeting we didn't talk to each other much. I was now more nervous than anxious at how we would talk after what I told her. I didn't know if she would treat me differently now that I've admitted it to her. I walked out of my hospital room and turned the corner. There I saw something that made my senses go crazy. My anger got higher, my sadness was higher, and sorrow was too much for me to handle. Chambord's feelings was rising so much that I knew my aura Haibara would notice this. I felt a new kind of feeling that I never felt inside me before. I heard footsteps running towards me so I started to run away. I could hear her calling my name but I didn't want to listen. I ran away and for the first Chambord had tears in his eyes and some running down his cheeks.

"Let me explain to you first!" She yelled

"What is there to exlpain?" I said back

"What you saw was a misunderstanding?" She said
