Chapter 13

Akai took the two of them to Tropical Land to try to cheer them up. If anyone that knew Akai saw them, they wouldn't believe their eyes. Akai Shuichi was a workaholic that was determined to take down the organization. They'd think that it was a lookalike, a doppelganger and not the real Akai Shuichi, that they had seen stuffing his face with cotton candy and smiling with his family.

"Are you sure it was okay for you to be out and about in public like this?" Haru asked when he was about to head home.

"I'm wearing colored contacts and used makeup to hide the bags under my eyes as well as make my skin appear lighter," Akai explained. "I'm also not wearing my cap and disheveled my hair a bit. Also, I'm not wearing my usual attire. I made sure to speak in a higher pitch too. If any organization members see me, they'd think my disguise was too bad to actually be me,"

"Mike's all tuckered out," Haru looked down at his nephew. "You're stationed in Japan now, aren't you?"

"Yeah," Akai nodded. "When I'm at work, I'll leave Mike with the well-trusted nanny I hired and brought along,"

Once Haru returned home, Conan was waiting for him at the gates. "Hey,"

"Something wrong?" Haru asked.

"We have a new ally," Conan answered. "Professor Agasa adopted her recently,"

'Professor Agasa adopted her?' Haru's eyes widened and he robotically followed Conan into the professor's home. 'Haibara…'

"This is Haibara Ai," Conan introduced, motioning to the shrunken scientist. "She's—"

Fresh tears began to fall at the sight of her and Haru couldn't help but fall to his knees. "I'm sorry…" He desperately tried to hold his sorrow back but wasn't strong enough. 'Shiho…'

"Haru-kun?" Professor Agasa put a hand to the nineteen year old's shoulder. "What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry Shiho…" Haru repeated. "I'm so sorry…" 'It's my fault. I don't deserve to face you. I should've died instead,'

"Hey Haru, why are you crying?" Conan asked. 'He addressed her as Shiho. Does he know her? He did know Haibara's older sister, Miyano Akemi also known as Hirota Masami,'

"I'm sorry!" Haru sobbed. "I couldn't save her!" Despite Akai having cheered him up earlier that day, seeing Haibara reopened the wound in his heart. "I couldn't save Akemi!"

Haibara bit her lower lip and restrained herself from screaming at him and blaming him for not being fast enough. "Before she left, she told me that you were the one who helped her flee the organization two years ago. Tell me, did she live a happy life?"

"Yeah," Haru sniffled. "She was happy with her boyfriend and son, but she still missed you greatly,"

"It's not your fault," Haibara told him. "It's the organization who's to blame,"

"Heh," Haru wiped his tears away. "I don't deserve your comfort. You should be the one being comforted,"

"Haru!" Sonoko loudly knocked on the front door of the Kudo Residence.

"Sonoko!" Ran scolded. "You don't have to be so loud,"

'At this rate, the entire neighborhood will be woken up,' Conan sweat-dropped.

"What do you want?" Haru opened the door, rubbing his eyes and yawning. "I need to prepare for work,"

"Azusa-san said that you were acting weird yesterday so we came here to cheer you up," Sonoko said. "She also said that the Poirot Master gave you a day off today,"

"I already went to the amusement park with my brother and nephew," Haru allowed them to come inside and sit in the living room. "So I don't need any cheering up from you guys,"

"What was with you yesterday anyways?" Sonoko asked.

"My dear friend recently died in my arms," Haru answered coldly, voice devoid of any emotions. "Of course I need time to mourn. I'm only human,"

"Uh, y-yeah," Sonoko had been startled at the sudden change of tone.

"Even if you said that your brother and nephew cheered you up, why don't we still go to the karaoke bar?" Ran suggested. "You still look a bit down,"

"I can't sing," Haru admitted.

"Hey, if Matsumoto-sensei didn't call you out during music class then you can't be as bad as Tone Deaf-san," Sonoko commented.

'Hey, don't make that your nickname for me,' Conan thought. 'It's not my fault I'm tone deaf,'

"Since you guys came all this way and the owner gave me the day off," Haru agreed. "I'll go but let me change first,"

"I feel your love reflection in your eyes as they gaze back into mine," Conan sang horribly off key. "Writing a distant, never ending story,"

'This is Endless Waltz by Two-Mix,' Haru noted. 'He's butchering the song so badly. I thought the characters were overreacting in the anime and manga but this is bloody awful,'

Once Conan had finished his song, Sonoko and Ran pushed Haru towards the machine. "It's your turn,"

'I should've stayed holed up in my room,' Haru scanned the list of songs. 'I think I'll sing this one,'

I lay under the night sky
Staring up at the starry world
I want to fly
I want to fly
I want to fly
But my wings are broken

"Geez," Sonoko said. "Did he have to pick such a sad song?"

I see everyone else
Soaring high above
Tears begin to fall
I am filled with envy

As I turn to walk away
You reach out and grab my hand
As you beat your wings
You pulled me up with you
You showed me the world above

"So how was I?" Haru asked once he finished.

"It was really good," Conan commented.

"You really think so?" Haru smiled. 'I'm glad that I have friends in this time around. In my previous life, I always kept to myself. My parents were always busy with work so I couldn't tell them about my problems in school. I also didn't want to be a burden so I endured and coped my immersing myself in the world of anime and manga. But in this new life, I'm not along. I have my family and my friends that care about me,'


I wasn't sure of what else to put for the first meeting of Haru and Haibara. Sorry if you were disappointed.
