Shinichi's Worst Nightmare

Disclaimer: Detective Conan is not mine. It belongs to Gosho Aoyama.

motzKID: Okay! Here's a weird story for you! Why? Because I actually dreamt that I was watching this on television last night. I hope Gosho could make this into the last episode. Hoping, hoping…. loosing hope…GONE! Oh well. I guess that would NEVER happen. Anyway, it wouldn't hurt to post it up, ne?

Shinichi Kudo tried to sit up again but his head felt woozy that he had to give up trying. It was one of those days where he was excited to solve a case but then, he finds out he has a 'case of colds'. He hated those days. Despised them, actually.

Spring fever: how he'd hated it. Just when they decided that they would go out to Tropical Island to hang out, THIS happens. He coughed roughly, feeling his heartbeat fast as if he was to die today. Suddenly, he could hear his phone vibrating.
He reached for his cellphone from his table and, "yes? Kudo Shinichi here," he said roughly and unenergetically.

"Shinichi?" a familiar female voice (that he admired so much) echoed through his ears.

He coughed again, "Hey, Ran, listen. I-"

"Are you okay? You sound terrible," she asked worriedly.

Shinichi leaned back onto his pillow again, "yeah, the thing is--"

"You're sick, aren't you?" she asked.

"That's what I'm trying to--"

"Don't make up excuses, I'm going there," she said strictly, cutting him off.

"I'm not making any excu—h-hey! –cough- you don't need to--"

"—come here…," Shinichi finally finished his sentence with half-moon eyes. He sighed and shut his phone, "here in 3…. 2…. 1….,"

"Shinichi!?" he heard her voice echoing down the halls.

"Just on time…," he chuckled, looking at his watch, "not a minute less."

His eyes slowly closed, ".. just a bit of rest, that's all…,"

He opened his eyes and found himself sitting in front of Ran. She was smiling and blushing a bit. Suddenly, an arm slid around her neck as a knife thrust into her neck.

Gin's face appeared with his evil smirk on his face. Shinichi was speechless. It was obviously a bad dream. But he couldn't wake up. He clutched his fist and tried to punch Gin but then, he found himself strapped to the chair.

He couldn't speak, his voice was nowhere to be heard. Although he knew Ran was struck by the knife, there was no blood. Not a drop.

But then, Gin disappeared and he found himself in her arms. She was wearing a white gown, humming a song she used to hum when they were little. Suddenly, she let go. Shinichi tried to reach for her.

He grasped her wrist tightly.

Ran fell back a little in startle. He found himself sitting, sweaty and holding her wrist tightly. Ran, who was sitting on his bed beside him stared back worriedly, "are you okay, Shinichi?" she asked.

Shinichi swallowed hard as he stared back at her. He noticed the clock behind her indicating it was already 6 in the evening. He slept the whole day!

He fell back again and rested his head with a huge sigh. She brushed his hair back with her free hand, "I'm going to get some medicine, okay?" he hadn't let go of her hand yet and he wasn't planning to.

"Don't… leave me," he said. He had those puppy eyes you usually see on television.

Ran smiled, "alright," she sat beside him, brushing his hair back.

But then, he sat up and hugged her, causing her eyes to widen and blush a bit. His hug tightened as he breathed harder, almost choking.

Ran couldn't help but pity him. Whatever his dream was, she knew he had lost something important to him. She didn't know he could be this much afraid. He was a strong man and she knew it, but this time, it was as if he needed someone to hold on to.

She hugged him back, "don't worry. I'm here. I'll always be here," she whispered as she felt his heart beat fast. Tonight was going to be a long night.

motzKID: so this was my dream although, this isn't finish yet. It's a bit long and a bit with violence in the end but I'm hoping I could receive reviews with this short story. Thanks for reading! Check out my profile for more stories! Care to review?
