"What were you two thinking?" Korn asked staring at the two with his arms crossed across his chest.

"You're going to have to be a lot more specific here." Gin said giving Korn a flat look and making the man raise his eyebrow over the rim of his shades as he looked towards Conan.

"Why did you adopt him and decide to keep him here even after you found out about the others that care about him?" Korn asked making Conan tense while Kir and Gin both glared at Korn for this, they didn't know if his question was going to send Conan back into a relapse or not and they didn't want to have him breaking down again!

"Because he's our son now and with the way most of them were acting I wouldn't trust them with a pet gold fish much less a human child." Gin said glaring darkly at Korn.

"He's a blind kid in the middle of a criminal organization. You're going to end up getting him killed simply because you went mushy. What were you thinking?" Korn asked glaring at Gin back, not that anyone could tell by the way his shades blocked his eyes.

"Oh I don't know…what were you thinking when you took Chianti in and raised her in the organization?" Gin asked right back with a snarl to his words.

"That's completely different and you know it! Chianti was a perfectly healthy ten year old who already had three kills under her belt when I found and adopted her off of the streets. She was already a criminal and killer. Conan is not." Korn said snarling back at the taller man.

"He's a smart boy even without his sight and he doesn't need to become a killer! We have plenty of members who have never killed before and are still good agents. When he grows up he can decided whether he wants to be part of the intelligence division or one of the other divisions that don't need him to become a cold blooded murderer like either of us or even be able to see!" Gin near shouted back at Korn while Conan began to shake.

He didn't want to leave. Papa and Mama loved him and they told him that and showed it with their actions and he loved them back and he didn't want to leave them! He didn't want to go back to the cold Kudo Mansion where he was normally alone! He didn't want to go back to having to bandage up his own wounds when a crook got a little too close or he got a little too careless. He didn't want to go back to having to bottle up all of his bad emotions because his parents didn't care! He didn't want to go back to sleeping in that cold bed where nightmares plagued him and there was no plushies or anything even remotely child-like and no nice and warm loving parents to hug him and tell him it'll be okay and to chase his bad dreams away.

"You're scaring Conan!" Rena said glaring at both of the men and making Korn look at her.

"See! If he can't even handle this then what good will he be to this organization!? How could he grow up in a criminal organization if he can't even handle a little bit of yelling?" Korn yelled making Conan tremble at the loud yell. He didn't like yelling. It was hurting his ears and made his head hurt and why was being mean and yelling like this?!

"Stop yelling! You don't get to decide if he deserves to stay here or not! I'm not letting you try to take my son away!" Rena wasn't quite yelling but it was close as she stood up and furiously approached Korn.

Vodka entered the room as the three adults were arguing viciously while Conan trembled and tried in vain to cover his ears to block out the noise.

"Come on Conan-kun. Let's give them time to work out whatever the problem is and get you somewhere quieter." Vodka murmured gently as he scooped the little boy up and carried him from the room towards a different area of the building, a much quieter area.

"Hey what happened to the little guy?" Chianti asked worried when she stopped plotting her next prank on Curacao at the sight of a trembling little boy curled up in Vodka's arms with only his light blue cast hanging out of the man's arms.

"Aneki, Kir and Korn were having a fight about something and voices got raised. Poor kid's having a sensory overload." Vodka said quietly as he settled the small body in his arms on a cushioned bench in the desk area where there were plenty of agents working quietly on the paperwork that came with running the more legal cover of the organization.

"Where's his plushie? Kir got him a plushie the other day, it might help." Curacao asked walking over and looking concerned as well. After all she did call the little boy her nephew.

"I'll get it." Chianti said immediately racing off to find the plushie in question while more and more agents wandered over looking concerned for the child. More than twenty agents spent the next thirty minutes trying to find some way to calm the poor boy without success and they were getting more and more frantic to try and find a way to help him as the minutes ticked by.

"Calm yourself little one." Karasuma himself finally came to investigate and patted Conan's head gently with one withered hand.

"Don' wanna leave." Conan whimpered pitifully, tugging at everyone's heartstrings as Chianti finally reappeared with the plushie in question, which was taken from her by Karasuma in an instant.

"Why would you think you're going to leave?" Karasuma asked as he pushed the plushie into the childs arms gently and even his old tainted heart melted a bit when the boy cuddled his beloved plushie close with a pitiful little sniffle.

"Mr. Korn said I wasn't gonna be a good member of the organization when I got older cause I'm blind and I haven't killed no one…I…He said that mama and papa should have left me with the others that cared for me instead of keeping me. I love mama and papa! I promise I'll be good and do whatever I'm told! I don't wanna go back…I wanna stay here." Conan said and he didn't care how childish or pathetic he sounded or seemed to be at the moment. He didn't want to go back! He couldn't stand the thought of going back to the cold and distant relationship with his parents after being shown so much warmth and love and care from Rena and Jun!

He'd rather lose his memories or die than go back to that cold mansion where the monsters lurked in his dreams since his parents never cared to try and protect him from them!

"I'd…I'd rather die than go back!" Conan finally yelled and all of the agents stumbled back at that declaration, most of them in wide eyed shock. A few looked horrified at how horrible the place he had been in must have been for him to feel that way, a couple of them looked sad at the thought of the baby being that scared to go back to the place that should have been his home, and a few looked furious at the fact that he actually felt like he'd rather die than leave Gin and Kir.

"Calm down little one. No one is going to make you go back. No one will take you from your parents, because Gin and Kir are your parents, no matter what anyone might say to the contrary." Karasuma said softly as he sat on the bench beside the boy who quickly curled into the warmth of the older man who looked surprised.

He hadn't expected the boy to curl into him like this…then again…he hadn't been expecting just how painful and heartbreaking it felt when he saw the poor boy obviously overloaded and in the midst of a panic attack on top of that.

Karasuma smiled gently and carded his wrinkly fingers through the boys short brown hair. Having the kid around wasn't so bad, and his presence had only served to make Gin and Kir both more loyal and protective people in general.

"Hush now little one. No one is going to take you away. If any of them try it then your Jiji here is going to prove why Karasuma Renya is a man to be feared."
