Chapter 9: Blue-eyed Wolf:
Kir sighed and rested against a tree. Looking once again at the wolf half-asleep a foot away.
The wolf's dark grey fur plus the tuft of black on its head defiantly made it a ringer for Conan's normal hair.
How could a teen become a child? Hell how could he become a Were-Wolf in the first place.
It was all very strange. Kir sighed Jodie was going to come and get the teen some clothes so they could hide the boy.
A flash of white from the treetops made her freeze and look up. Into the smiling face of Kaitou Kid.
"Hi." Kid said waving.
Kid then got a radio out.
"I found him. I'll be bringing him back to our hideout, Mouri-chan." Kid said.
Kir looked at the thief. Shinichi was looking at him too. But he looked relieved.
"I have an extra pair of clothes, Meitantei-san." Kid said making a complete set of clothes appear along with a hat.
The wolf stood and grabbed the clothes with its mouth. Glared at Kid then at Kir then went behind a tree.
Kid seemed to wince hearing a snapping sound. A teen with dark black hair and blue eyes came out from behind the tree. Hat pulled down low over his face. Creating shadows.
"Thank you Kid." The teen said.
"No problem Tantei-inu. Should we get you back to Mouri-chan?" Kid asked.
The teen growled at Kid. Kid held up his hands in a placating gesture.
"Let's get going I don't want them to find me." The teen said.
Kid shrugged and the two of them disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Kir sighed and texted Jodie.
'Cool Guy safe. With Mouri-chan and friends.'
Kir smiled at the empty forest. It seemed so peaceful.
Maybe things were finally going to come to an end….
Kaito smiled at the wolf Tantei. Shinichi just growled at him again. It was amazing how imitating the Detective could be.
Or maybe it was just the way his eyes seemed to sharpen.
"I hope your house trained. I don't think Tantei-san would appreciate any accidents in his home." Kaito said.
He couldn't help himself. Shinichi turned and hit him.
"Okay, okay I'll stop. But it's so funny." Kaito said.
"I really don't see how you can find humor in my situation." Shinichi said.
"Oh maybe you should." Kaito said with a smile.
"If you utter one more dog joke at me I'll bite you." Shinichi said.
"I'll give Mouri-chan a newspaper." Kaito said.
Shinichi ran after the laughing thief as they ran down the sidewalk into a different part of town.
Kaito grabbed a newspaper from a nearby trash bin and rolled it up. Kaito spun and hit Shinichi on the head with the paper. Shinichi stopped and tripped shocked that he was hit.
Kaito smiled they were in front of their destination anyway.
"Come on Kudou-kun, everyone is hiding out here at the Hakuba estate." Kaito said.
Shinichi glared at Kaito before fixing his hat and getting off the ground.
Kaito smiled and watched him get up. Kaito opened the gate to Hakuba's house. Shinichi hit Kaito on his arm as he passed by him.
Kaito just smiled and took after him. The door opened to a very angry looking Ran Mouri.
Shinichi winced.
"We can talk inside, and then you can hit me all you want." Shinichi said.
"I think I'll take you on that." Ran said.
Shinichi and Kaito came inside. Kaito taking off his disguise. Hakuba was in the living room sipping tea playing chess against Haibara who was also sipping tea.
Hattori was laid out on the couch asleep. Shinichi smiled and kicked Hattori.
"What the." Hattori yelled rolling off the couch.
Shinichi smiled.
"This is defiantly better than being trapped in that cage." Shinichi said.
Ran came in behind him with Aoko.
"Shinichi can you please explain, everything?" Ran asked.
Shinichi sighed and sat down in the only empty seat.
"When I was two I was turned into a Were-Wolf. I only recently that Vermouth was the wolf who turned me. I really didn't want to tell you since you've always been afraid of supernatural things. I thought you would fear me as well.
Then there was Tropical Land. I followed those men in black from the Roller Coaster murder. They were black mailing someone for money. I didn't realize there was another one behind me until it was too late. I was hit in the back of the head and force fed a poison it physically made me seven again. Everything else you know. I am sorry." Shinichi said.
Ran smiled softly before punching Shinichi.
"That was for lying to me." Ran said before hugging Shinichi.
The others looked on in silence. Kaito looked like he wanted to start snickering Aoko elbowed him.
"Well before you two get too involved. Maybe we should start planning." Haibara said.
Ran and Shinichi split apart.
"Yes maybe we should." Shinichi said his eyes gaining an animalistic quality.
Ran seemed to want to edge away but she stayed. This was who Shinichi was. Who he had always been.
"Afterword we may have the FBI talk to Megure-keibu. It might help ease his worry, and not have him put you into another cage." Hattori said.
Shinichi nodded. Looking around him. He had people who knew and accepted him as he was.
It went to show him how much these people were his friends.
They would help him take care of those shadows forever….
Rum growled. It was time they stopped hiding in the shadows. It was about time the country of Japan knelt at his feet.
"Vermouth it's time we activated our army." Rum said.
Vermouth nodded.
There was a reason they gave blood samples to all their members. An army of Were-Wolves at their command.
"Starting it my love." Vermouth said.
She smiled looking at the names of those she herself had personally made sure to add to this list.
Ran Mouri
Shiho Miyano
Kir – Hidemi Hondou
Jodie Starling
Kaito Kuroba
Aoko Nakamouri
Vermouth smiled after all it wouldn't be a fair fight if it was just their side gaining ranks…
