A/N: Okay, this fic has been on hiatus for a while. I just hadn't had any feeling for writing even though I have a clear plot in my mind...
Anyways, I had planned a "Little Pause" before this chapter but I forget it. Besides it was about Ravens' Call and I've already told you about it in Ren's letter and in this chapter you'll know how that book starts. I tried my best with it but I'm not very good in writing "books"... Luckily my Beta helped me. Thank you, M-chan!
Yume coughed. It was Monday and she wasn't feeling any better.
"Stupid side-effects… Now I really hope I hadn't met those two… 'Gin' and 'Vodka'…" She murmured behind her bed-sheets.
Eri knocked at the door of Yume's room and opened it. "Yume-chan, your friends came to see you."
"Yay… Achoo! I hope they don't catch a cold too." Yume tried to joke when six kids came to the room.
"Hi, Yume-chan!" Nendo greeted. "How are ya?"
"Fine thanks, how about you guys?" Yume asked as she rose up and leant against pillows.
"Great, but a bit hungry." Genta answered.
"You just ate your lunch." Mitsuhiko pointed out.
"Don't worry, I'll prepare some small snacks for you." Eri said and disappeared to the kitchen.
"She has improved her cookin' skills." Yume said. "So, I think we'll be able to eat what she is goin' to make…"
"Yume-chan… Is that dove yours?" Ayumi asked and pointed at Shiro.
"Yes and no. Barako-neechan asked me to take care of him. His name is Shiro but I'm callin' him Shi-kun."
While Yume talked with other kids Ai took a step closer to Conan and said: "Something happened on last Thursday, at 3.17 pm."
"We were playing football in a park." The boy answered.
"Everyone except Kuroi. And someone broke in my lab and stole some antidote"
"What? This is bad. Was anything else stolen?"
"Nothing else. The thief knew what she was looking for and where to find it. Pretty talented thief I would say."
"…"
"You can't fool me. You suggested the football in the park and kept me away from the professor's house while Kuroi stole the antidote."
"You seem to be sure of what you're saying but do you have any proofs?" The little detective asked.
"I do. She was very careful but left one thing there. One straight blond hair about thirty centimeters long. How many girls do we know with a hair like that?"
"Two? Kuroi-chan and Nisshoku-san?"
Ai gave him an angry glance: "I'm sure those two are one and the same, like Conan Edogawa and Shinichi Kudô."
"Why don't you just ask her? Then you would know the answer."
"I'll ask when I feel like it." Ai stated. The conversation had ended.
"Yume-chan, are you reading that book? Isn't it in English?" Mitsuhiko asked suddenly.
"Yes, it is. The name is Ravens' Call. I really like this book even though it's pretty thick." Yume smiled. "The plot is so interestin' and the characters are so realistic."
"Who has written it?" Nendo asked.
"Barako-neechan's mother. But unfortunately she is not able to write the second part."
"Eh, but then you won't know how the story continues." Ayumi said worriedly.
"Yeah, but Ren Kajiya died on last Friday." Yume stated without any emotion in her voice.
"Died?" Shônen Tanteis said in unison.
"Did you know her well, Kuroi?" Ai asked.
"Pretty well, she was like a mother to me."
"I see, I'm truly sorry for you." The brown haired girl continued. Yume sensed sarcasm in her voice. Others seemed not to notice it.
"Thank you but you don't have to. I'm alright." Yume flashed a quick fake smile to Ai. Ai smiled back and turned towards Conan then.
"What was that?" Conan asked.
"I asked. Kuroi and Nisshoku really are one and the same."
"I didn't get that."
"Ren Kajiya was a member of Black Organization when I still was there even though I never met her. And if I understood Kuroi's answers in the right way, she just admitted that she is Barako Nisshoku." The girl explained. "But I'll ask more later."
The kids talked for a while until Eri came in and said that Yume would need some rest. When the kids left Yume took the book from her bedside-table and started reading it from the beginning.
He was Shinji Kuroi, famous high-school detective who had solved more crimes than he could even remember. Who was proud about his deduction skills that exceeded many polices. Who was helping polices all the time.
Everything should have been fine and safe; perfect in all ways. But it wasn't. He was a real murder magnet. Everywhere he went a gruesome and complex murder took a place and caused problems to police. But every single time he managed to solve the case with his brightness. Maybe that was the reason why he was so famous. He was The Savior of Japanese Police.
But one day… he met his fate. He met a person who had waited for a long time for the chance to put an end to him and his deductions. Later Shinji would curse his luck and curiosity. He had got an eternal enemy.
"Ne, Shinji, where are you going?" A girl with dark-brown wavy hair asked. She was Natsumi Nori, Shinji's childhood friend. She had had a date with Shinji in an amusement park and on her way home with him. But Shinji had something else in his mind. Something that had caught his interest.
"Gomen, Natsumi-chan, I'll go ahead. See you tomorrow!" The boy waved as a goodbye and ran to the darkness. Natsumi watched after him but turned around and continued her way home.
"Stupid, Shinji… We just witnessed a murder and he solved it. But he is still thinking about something stupid and leaving me. Now I have to go home… alone. What was he thinking?" She mumbled to her scarf with some tears in her eyes. "And why I have a bad feeling about this?"
A/N: Is there anything I need to explain? I don't find any. But if you do, ask. I'll try to answer.
I don't remember how, Ai called Yume but I guessed she would be pretty impolite since she don't like her... I like her and Yume's sarcasm in this chapter.
And Ravens' Call is written in English but I didn't underlined it. It could have looked messy...
Well, anyways. Plz review, I'm not sure when the next chapter will come.
