HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Did you get lots of candy? I SURE DID! Apart from holiday and birthday chapters, this story will be updated every Friday! THIS IS FOR YOU ALL! (Do they celebrate Halloween in japan? If not, they do now!) And please everyone; tell me what you were for Halloween! I was the 10th Doctor and my sister was the 11th. If you don't know, that is from Doctor Who!
It was just another day on the floor of Shinichi's room. Even though it was the most uncomfortable thing ever, it was totally fine with Ran as long as Shinichi was in the same room. It was October 31st, today was Halloween! She sulked, she still had no idea what she should be! Yes she was a little kid again so she could goof off, but still… she had self-pride! What the hell should she be?
Shinichi muttered something in his sleep, something about "You are the murderer!" And, "The evidence it right here!" typical things for a mad detective to say. Ran stretched and climbed out her bed, shaking Shinichi to wake up and get ready for school. He had asked her to do so because his alarm clock had been smashed, please don't ask! They wolfed down their breakfast and hurried to school, not wanting to be late.
She arrived to be greeted by cheerful Ayumi.
"Didn't you say you didn't have a costume, Akane-chan?" Ayumi said as she held out a costume of a princess.
"Um… thanks…" Ran lowered her head. She just wanted to stay home and pass out candy, but that idea passed long ago. Ayumi cheerfully handed over the outfit when something struck Ran. "What are you going to be?"
"A cat! See look!" Ayumi held up a way-to-skimpy kitty cat costume.
"Aren't you a little young for that kind of clothing?" Ran slapped her forehead.
"No why?" She really was clueless sometimes! No almost all the time! Cute and yet so innocent.
"You can't wear that!"
"Then you wear it! I'll wear the princess." Ayumi skipped around the classroom.
"Ya, maybe Akane-chan SHOULD wear it…" Mitsuhiko and Genta both blushed equally, because both of them wanted to see Ran in those skimpy clothing. Perverts.
Ran arrived home. She had ended up being Ms. Kitty in the end… she looked around for Shinichi. He must have not been home yet… she fixed herself a piece of toast and was about to sit down when Shinichi opened the door. But he was not alone, there was a girl with him and they were chatting together. Shinichi faltered when she saw Ran staring at them.
"This isn't what it looks like…" Shinichi tried to cover up him mistake, but Ran was already looming over him, burning a hole in his eyes.
"Oh really? Then why is she hugging your arm? Do you want me to tell Ran-neechan about this?" Ran blackmailed.
"NO REALLY! This is not what you are thinking! And why are you mad?" Shinichi held up his hand in surrender.
"Then who is she exactly?" Ran gave him the eye, the very eye that can kill some weak people.
"She's a new student… she kind of wont let me out of her sight…"Shinichi looked at the ground.
"One second…" Ran held up her pointer finger. She reached for her phone and called Professor Agasa. "Hey Ran… I have to tell you something…" Ran started. Shinichi grabbed the phone out her hand.
"Nothing! She just wanted to tell you she got a nice grade on the test!" Shinichi laughed.
"Is that your girlfriend?" The strange girl tilted her head.
"NO! She's my childhood friend, Mouri Ran… sorry Ran, I have to go!" Shinichi hung up, sighing.
"So you're single?" She smiled and held him tighter. 'Akane' burned like a forest fire. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Kinomoto Anoka, nice to meet you! And you are?"
"Hanazaki Akane, nice no meet you two…" Ran shook hands, almost crushing Anoka's hand. She shivered, this little girl was kind of scary!
"Come on Shinichi-kun! Show me your room, please? Please? PLEASE!?"Anoka pestered.
"Fine…" Shinichi lead her upstairs, leaving Ran still burning with furry and jealousy. Why was he being so… so nice to her? It wasn't fair! She desisted to spy on them. She stood outside the door, pressing her ear to the door.
"Come on, SHINICHI!" Anoka addressed him by his first name.
"Stop it!" There was a thump.
"Come on…" She said smoothly. There was a scream.
"GET OFF ME!" Shinichi yelled. Ran burst through the door to see Anoka hugging Shinichi in a tight embrace. "This is not what you think…" Shinichi tried to explain. Ran always had a pilot light in her heart, and sometimes it could be enflamed. Imagine you have a small flame and you take hairspray and spray it. The flame gets much bigger right? That's what happened… she was furious, very furious. "I can explain… you please don't tell Ran!" Shinichi tried harder and harder to calm Ran down, but to no avail.
"She might already know," Ran doused her flame and tried to relax.
"WHAT! YOU ALREADY TOLD HER?" Shinichi grabbed Ran's shoulders and shook her back and forth.
"No~ she might be physic…" Ran wobbled around the room, her eyes reflected swearing stars. Shinichi sighed in relief that was a close one!
"Are you sure there is nothing going on between you and Mouri-san?" Anoka said suspiciously. Both Shinichi and Ran blushed and denied it right of the bat.
"Wait Akane-chan, why are you denying it?" Shinichi questioned.
"What? Was I?" She played innocent, "Isn't today Halloween? Look at this costume Ayumi-chan gave me…" She drove the subject away and replaced it with a brand new one. "Look!" She held up the skimpy outfit.
"That's… GREAT!" Anoka blushed, "That is by far the cutest thing I have seen in my life! Can I see you in it? Can you show me?" Ran shrugged and headed for the loo. She disposed of her cloths and wiggled into the cute kitty cat get-up. She opened the door and entered Shinichi's bedroom, blushing. It was so embarrassing! "YOU'RE JUST TOO CUTE!" Anoka leaped at her, tackling her with a bear hug.
"See, she does that to everyone!" Shinichi defended himself.
"Still…" Ran trembled, "A hug is a hug you know."
"What are you two talking about? Tell me! Tell me! TELL ME!" She was awful demanding hu? Shinichi and Ran had a symbolic conversation and agreed to keep their mouths completely shut. "TELL ME!" She ran around the room, knocking everything of the shelves.
"Um… do you think we should tell her now?" Shinichi asked Ran.
"No, that would only make things way worse I think…" Ran pointed out. Shinichi nodded in agreement, at least Ran had common sense, sometimes… Anoka walked up to them and smiled.
"How about I come trick or treating with you?" both Shinichi and Ran looked at each other, almost in tears. They both painfully nodded for the okay.
The moon shone against the dark sky of night. The three of them all were dressed up, except for Shinichi. He didn't have any joy in this kind of thing. But many people thought he was dressed as Kudo Shinichi and he had to explain he was Kudo Shinichi. Then they would ask for an autograph and…let's just say they didn't get much candy. On the way the bumped into Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi and desisted to go with them. More like they demanded to come…
"Who is this lady?" Genta looked at Anoka with curious eyes.
"Kinomoto Anoka-san!" She introduced herself to the Detective Boys.
"NICE TO MEET YOU!" The three called.
"I'm Ayumi and this is Genta-kun and Mitsuhiko-kun. Including Akane-chan, we are the DETECTIVE BOYS!" Ayumi cheered.
"But only half of you are boys…" Anoka rubbed the top of her head in curiosity.
"I KNOW RIGHT?" Ran agreed. Maybe this Anoka was not as bad as she thought, maybe they could become friends, that was, after she got over the fact she was hitting on her love interest, Shinichi. She sighed; this was going to be a LONG, long night.
Tomorrow I shall finish this Halloween special!
