The second time around, It is time for the under 5 sentence summery of Chapters 6-10

C6-(Pov: Heiji Hattori) Heiji Hattori and his Friend Kazuha Toyoma is traveling from Osaka to Tokyo by plane to join with Conan and co. for the party. During the ride, they see a man dressed as a samurai. After meeting up with Conan and co., both see the samurai leaving the same airport and decide to follow him. They are easily caught by the samurai and his friend, a man dressed in a fedora hat with a cigarette. They are saved by Conan's quick thinking and are left alone, both groups noting how fascinating each other are.

C7- (Pov: Heiji) Ran recounts the events that happened the day before to Kazuha and Heiji. Conan privately notes to Heiji that Kiyone was a fake and the belief that she was 'L' in disguise. Through deductions and information gathered, the detectives come to interesting conclusions. Conan calls Agasa to find any information on L, but is surprised with the number of names that are shown, even with reductions.

C8- (Pov: Samurai) Fedora himself recounts the similar events that happened the day before to Samurai, who was in Osaka studying Heiji. Samurai tells all he knows of Heiji while Fedora gives his comrade the data on Kudou and Edogawa, both noting the strange disappearance of Kudou and the sparse, fake info on Edogawa. They meet their third comrade, a woman, who tells them that their fourth member and leader had decided that they should meet in a restaurant. They now meet Conan and co. through Kogoro trying to hit on the woman, which "works", who also decides that they should join the trio to the restaurant. Conan and co agrees and the trio is now named: Samurai = Goemon Ishikawa, Fedora = Daisuke Jigen, woman = Fujiko Mine.

C9- (Pov: Conan) While waiting for the friend, Fujiko angers Ran to the point where she is about to kick Fujiko. Ran is stopped by the friend, shocking the others except his friends. Named Lupin, he immediately earns the suspicion of Heiji and especially Conan. They all enter the restaurant and the quartet explain about themselves, with Lupin surprising Conan and co. with magic tricks finishing this with showing a picture of a woman to the others. Seeing the picture, Conan and Heiji's suspicions of Lupin grow and force Kogoro and the girls to leave the restaurant quickly, not before Lupin gives another magic trick.

C10- (Pov: Daisuke Jigen, Lupin) After Conan and co. leaves, the four get together to start the next phase of their plan, with Jigen and the rest voicing their annoyance with Lupin III 's reason for being in Beika City. As Lupin orders Champagne, Jigen thinks back to a couple of days ago when they were getting ready to start their heisting plans, noting about Lupin's unusual behavior. Jigen is brought back to the present by Fujiko and they all separately leave, Jigen and Goemon privately voicing their concerns with what is going on. Meanwhile, Lupin, in a taxi, figures out a connection between Shin'ichi and Conan and states that things will get a lot worse.

I'm not too happy with how this chapter came out. It was completely redone with what I've written in my notebook. Please tell me what you think and I'll see if I can fix it.


Chapter 11

After arriving back at Ojisan's place, Heiji and Kudou told the others that they were visiting Hakase's place. The best reason they could come up with under severe stress (Damn those girls and their stares) was that Kudou remembered that Hakase asked him to come over to his house after picking up Heiji to see some of his new inventions and bring Heiji with him. They took the excuse at face value and thought no more about it. So they immediately left, making sure the girls didn't see the worried looks on their faces.

They decided to walk all the way, so they can talk together and not be disturbed. Surprisingly enough, they said nothing until they were near the old man's place. Heiji assumed that it was because they were both thinking about the people that they met not too long ago. Mulling over his own thoughts, Heiji came to the conclusion that those four people were odd in some way. He remembered them from somewhere but he couldn't quite figure out what. He rubbed his hair furiously, then noticing the same reaction from Kudou. Two minds think alike, eh, Kudou?

"I can't figure out where I've seen them before," Kudou said. His face darkened. "But I don't like this."

"Me too, Kudou," Heiji added. "That Lupin guy… Do you think…?"

Kudou stopped and turned. A flash of fear crossed his face. "I don't know, Hattori. If it is, then we have to take measures to make sure that he doesn't find Haibara and figure out who I am." Heiji nodded. If they find out that the drug that should have killed him, shrunk him instead, they would come after him and everyone he knows and cares about, Heiji included.

"I'll help in any way I can, Kudou!" And Heiji meant it too. "Ah! We're here!" Heiji was the first to reach the door and knocked on it. It was immediately opened with three angry kids rushing to come face to face at Kudou.

"Conan-kun!" cried Ayumi-chan. "Why did you lie to us?"

"Yeah! Why?" cried Genta-kun.

"You wanted to deal with this alone like you usually do, right?" cried Mitsuhiko-kun.

The kids surrounded Kudou, flashing their questions at him like rapid fire. Flinching at their angry words, Kudou quickly lifted his hands, more to protect himself then to play innocent. Heiji gave an inner chuckle. What did you do this time, Kudou?

"I-it's because I didn't think that it would be that important, eheheheheheh!" Surprisingly enough, they took his word at face value. Their expressions softened, with Ayumi-chan smiling at him.

"Well don't do that again!" said Genta-kun.

"You're part of the Shonen Tantei, too, Conan-kun. Next time, tell us everything!" said Matsuhiko-kun. And with that, the trio of kids bowed as they said their hellos to Heiji and moved out the way for Haibara and Hakase to exit. Agasa-hakase had grey curly hair and a round face. He had a big nose which always sat small round glasses. He usually wore a lab coat over a sweater and pants when he was in the house.

"Hello, Conan-kun, Heiji-kun. Kids, come inside and watch TV okay?"

"Hai!" the kids cried, as they left the room.

"So, Kudou-kun, Hattori-kun, what happened to the two of you?" Haibara asked right off the bat. Hakase had explained the call from Kudou-kun hours ago, after trying to calm the kids down. She actually thought that they would have been here earlier. She noticed the concentration on their faces. Something must have happened to them on the way to that detective's place. The four walked past the living room, giving quick glances at the kids, to make sure that they would not be disturbed by them. They went downstairs to Agasa's lab, where a computer was situated. Hakase sat in front of the computer.

"What took you so long?" Hakase asked. Haibara noticed their slightly pale faces when he asked the question. She knew that it wasn't cold outside. This now proved that something did happen on the way to that detective's place.

"Hattori and I were thinking about some more characteristics." Kudou-kun said. "I think with this extra info that we thought up, the list will go down a great deal." Hattori-kun nodded.

Hakase immediately turned to his computer, "I'm all ears, Shin'ichi."

"I think we should add that he is a master of disguise," said Kudou-kun. Hakase stopped typing and gave a quick glance at them, raising an eyebrow.

"Remember what happened to me and Kiyone-chan yesterday?" Both Hakase and Haibara nodded. Haibara specifically remembered. She agreed with Kudou-kun that it was strange that the girl acted differently then how memory served him, although, she thought, Kudou-kun had been away from high school for about a year so, Kiyone-chan might have changed during that span. "As it turns out, she was a fake." Shocked gasps rang from the scientists. They turned to Hattori-kun.

He nodded. "Sonoko-chan had called her that night. She stated that she never met them at all. Her parents even vouched for her."

"I see," Haibara said. "So this means that the girl you met wasn't really her." But is that the reason for your pale faces?

"We think she was 'L'." Hattori-kun leaned on the door to the outside. Kudou-kun mimicked him.

"But Shin'ichi, why don't you think that the girl could be Kid?"

"Because he already knows about me, about both of me, and Ojisan." Kudou-kun's face darkened a little.

Hakase nodded and turned to the screen. "So this L is a master of disguise." They heard typing of keys and a beep. With a sigh, he glanced at the boys and said, "Anything else to reduce the numbers?" Both shook their head. "These numbers are actually manageable." The Meitantei duo walked to the screen.

Hattori-kun whistled. "Dang, there're a lot of names." He leaned over Hakase's shoulder. "It's still good…. Kudou, you check the left hand side, Hakase, the middle and I'll check the right." Everything was quiet as the men scanned the screen. Haibara herself didn't bother to help. As far as she was concerned, she had nothing to do with this.

She closed her eyes. Kudou-kun had been trying without much success to find information on the BO. She was surprised that he didn't outright ask her about anything she knew. Then again, she didn't know that much and he had already found out a lot. She personally believed that Kudou-kun shouldn't learn about their plans. Otherwise he would be in more danger. Just as he is always trying to protect her, she's trying to protect him. He thinks that he is so strong…always being there for me. A small smile crossed her lips. Another face somehow superimposed itself on Kudou-kun's face, a warm, smiling face that always broke into grin. Oniichan?

"WHAT?????????" Haibara immediately opened her eyes, sharply turning to the screaming Hattori-kun. Both his and Kudou-kun's eyes were wide open in shock as they backed away. Hakase frowned as he gave shifting glances at the two boys.

"What's wrong?" Hakase asked. Kudou-kun immediately went over to the right side, grabbing the mouse and clicking on something. Haibara walked closer to see what was wrong. Her eyes widened. She immediately held herself, shuddering. That face… It can't… Oniichan? Haibara was too stunned to hear the rest of the conversation.

"What the hell?" Heiji couldn't believe this. Kudou had immediately grabbed the mouse and clicked on that guy's name. Not only did his face pop up, but so did pictures of his associates. "That bastard!" He added venomously.

"What's wrong, Shin'ichi, Heiji-kun?" Hakase had an obviously worried look on his face.

"Shit!" muttered Kudou. He gave a weary look at the doc. "We just met them not too long ago."

"Huh?" The old man grabbed Heiji. "You've met wanted criminals on the street, and you didn't call the police?"

"We didn't know," Heiji said quietly, his fists clenched. "Their faces looked familiar but we didn't know from where."

"He was on the news some years ago, him and his friends."

"I remember now Shin'ichi. They stole five million dollars worth of jewels from a bank in America. Their names and faces were posted all over but they were never caught." Hakase looked at the information and read it slightly out loud.

"Name: Arsene Lupin the Third; Age: Unknown; Nationality: Unknown; Occupation: Master Thief; he is wanted in all countries for theft, murder, assault, etc; known to be a master of disguise, a strategist, an assassin; Status: Unknown, presumably alive." The picture next to the information was that of a man with indeterminate age wearing a leisure suit (red jacket, blue shirt, yellow tie) and staring at the camera with a mocking, calm smirk. Heiji was immediately reminded of the Kaitou Kid's annoying poker face.

"Name: Daisuke Jigen; Age: Unknown; Nationality: Unknown; Occupation: Gunman, Thief; he is also wanted in all countries but more for murder then any others; he is assumed to be an ex mercenary or an ex mobster and is one of the best gunmen in the world; Status: Unknown, presumably alive." The picture of him, although not as big as Lupin's, was that of a man that looked older than Lupin with a black ensemble (suit, beard, and hat) with his hat covering his eyes and a cigarette. He also had a smirk though more subtle.

"Name: Goemon Ishikawa the thirteenth; Age: Unknown; Nationality: Japanese; Occupation: Swordsman, Thief; he has the shortest list of charges on him; he is known as one of the greatest swordsmen with a sword made out of a harder than diamond metal and is also a skilled assassin; Status: Unknown, presumably alive." The picture of his, about the same size as Jigen's was that of another man with a serious face wearing his samurai outfit. The expression he had was that of stoicism yet Heiji could tell that his eyes had the hint of that same emotion as his friends' smirks.

"Name: Fujiko Mine; Age: Unknown; Nationality: Unknown; Occupation: Thief; She's wanted in all countries mostly for theft; is known for getting into relationships with wealthy men and leaving them high and dry by taking all assets from them; also is a master of disguise and an assassin; Status: Unknown, presumably alive." Her picture was that of a beautiful woman dressed in a blue shirt. She was slightly posing for the camera, having the same smirk as Jigen and Lupin.

Hakase stared at the four pictures and the seething looks they were given by the boys. Frowning somewhat, he scrolled down the pictures to see if there was anything more to say.

"Kudou, you know what this means?"

"Heh. Those four are definitely L and his associates." Kudou turned to look at Haibara-san. Eyes widening, he rushed to her. Heiji was too busy looking at more info to notice.

"It says here that these four are under the jurisdiction of an inspector of Interpol, named Koichi Zenigata." Heiji saw a picture of an old man, older that the four, wearing a beige trench coat and a hat. Man, how bad is this man to have them still out there on the loose! Or, Heiji thought, how good are they to keep from being caught?

"Haibara!" suddenly cried Kudou. Heiji turned his head to see a frantic Kudou shaking a shocked Haibara.

"Ai-kun!" Hakase rushed to her side. What happened to her? It's as if she's seen… He gave a quick glance at the screen, and then gave a widening glance at Haibara.

She blinked as she snapped out of her trance. Quickly looking around, she gave a cool sigh. "So," she said. "Did you figure out who 'L' is, Kudou-kun?"

"Haibara, what happened?" Kudou-kun snapped. Her eyes widened. Why? Why is he acting like him? I thought he was…

"Nothing, Kudou-kun." She tried to make her voice completely level. She noticed Kudou-kun's watch. "There's something on your watch."

"Huh?" Kudou-kun immediately took it off and flipped up the target lens that covered it. It was a tool that helped Kudou-kun aim right with his stun watch. At the same time, the basement door opened to show the three kids. Ayumi-chan held in her hands a black bird.

"Conan-kun, Heiji-niichan, Hakase, Ai-chan. Look what we found perched on the window!" Ayumi-chan let the bird go as it flapped its wings and landed on Hakase's computer, not saying a word.

"What the…?" cried Kudou-kun as he saw a black dot on the center of the target lens. Hattori-kun noticing this immediately took out his wallet and poured all of its contents out. He felt around the wallet until his mouth twitched, taking out of it another small black dot.

"What's that bird doing here?" cried Hakase as he tried to shoo the bird off the computer. It didn't budge.

"It was on the window sill outside," explained Genta-kun. "When we opened the window, it flew in and landed in Ayumi-chan's hand."

"I think it's a pigeon," noted Mitsuhiko-kun.

"Iie," Haibara-san noted quietly. She had taken the black dot from Kudou and was staring at it; she was also glancing at the bird. "It's a raven and this is a listening chip."

"WHAT???" Heiji cried angrily, his fist shaking. Kudou, on the other hand, calmly said nothing. "HE did this… Come out!!!" Those magic tricks!!!

The children and Hakase took steps back from the raging Hattori-kun. Ayumi-chan immediately went behind Kudou-kun. "Conan-kun? What's happening?"

Haibara gently grabbed Ayumi-chan from Kudou-kun. Kudou-kun was keeping his temper but she could see the gathering storm of rage in his eyes; Hattori-kun was already showing fury of the storm. Why is Kudou-kun so calm? Has he figured something out? Does this have something to do with what happened to them earlier?

"Hattori-kun, please calm down!" cried Hakase.

"Yes, please calm down, Hattori," Kudou-kun said in a thin voice. The fury-faced teen glared at Kudou-kun. He noticed the other kids in the room. His anger didn't subside but his face grew calmer.

"It seems you're out of the running," Kudou-kun said flatly. His eyes flickered in realization. He heavily sat on the chair, lowering his hat over his face.

"Conan-kun?" muttered a slightly worried Hakase. "May I ask…?"

"We met them on our way back to Ojisan's agency and we had a nice early lunch at a restaurant. It was not until we saw their faces here did everything begun to click into place.

"Now then, Lupin-san, since you have been listening to us all, why don't you grace us personally with your voice, or better yet with your face?"

There was a long silence followed by whole-hearted laughter. Haibara looked down to see that the voice was coming from the devices in their hands.

"Conan-kun? Can you tell us what's going on? I'm scared!" said Ayumi-chan. The two other boys nodded in agreement. Haibara herself was just shocked, trying to deny the familiarity of the voice that was ringing out.

After the voice finished laughing, it said calmly, "Sou Sou, you two have figured me out!"


1. Meitantei (noun) "Famous Detective" is its literal meaning, Mei – Being the suffix meaning Famous. This pretty much makes sense since Heiji and Conan (Shin'ichi) are famous detectives, although, in Shin'ichi's case, his alter ego as Conan is getting quite a reputation as well.

2. –Neechan, -niichan, (suffix) meaning older sister, older brother respectfully. They can also be used as a noun. It doesn't literally mean blood relation. Children use it to indicate closeness, "You're a big brother (sister) to me" kind of thing.

3. Iie, generally means 'no,' but can mean yes, depending on the type of yes or no questions asked.

4. Heiji is widely known in the anime and manga for his slightly short temper and his thinking before leaping. This has lessened to a degree as the series progressed.

5. I've heard that there will be a Conan special named Lupin Sansei vs. Meitantei Conan, in March, to celebrate the half century anniversary of two TV companies. I don't know the date it will come out but all I know is that it's going to be broadcast in the evening at about 7 pm on said two TV company channels. I'm so happy and I'm looking forward to this.

6. Sansei – literally means 'third generation' or "so and so is the child of Nisei (second generation)" So Lupin Sansei would mean that he is the third generation person having his family name.

6. Lupin now shows himself to the Detectives. What does Conan mean when he tells Heiji that he's out of the running? Why is Haibara acting strangely? All this and more in the next installment of "Conan vs Kid vs Lupin."
