He knocked on the door nervously.
Knock Knock
"Come in" said Yukiko.
He opened the door nervously and sweating.
"I thought you might be hungry, so I brought you some leftovers in case you needed something to eat" said Kaito.
He put the plate on the table near the bed.
"Thank You" said Yukiko.
He sat on the bed.
"How is she doing?" said Kaito.
"Fine, she is doing much better" said Yukiko yawning.
He looked at her and she looked tired like she had not slept in a week and she was still injured and she needed just as much rest as anyone else.
"How about you take a break, and I will watch Shin-Chan for a while and you can get something to eat and get some sleep" said Kaito.
"...?" said Yukiko.
"She would not want you to get ill, and she would just end up blaming herself" said Kaito.
"Ok I will just take this and head down stairs and have a chat with Ran anyway" said Yukiko.
The door was closed behind.
"Shin-Chan I hope you get better soon because I can't bare to see you like this and it is too horrible to see and I guess it is the reason you went away you did not want me to see you like this. You were just thinking about others as usual and you are being stupid as usual I would rather hold your hand and go through every moment with you even if it is horrible I would rather be with you than without you. I love you" said Shinichi.
He had just confessed to her, and he did not know what to say or do, he just sat there watching her sleep in silence.
Then he saw her frown.
"Shinichi? Are you waking up?" said Kaito.
"Hmph...Five more minutes Ran! " said Shinichi.
As she stirred in the bed and pulled the cover over her head.
"Ran?" he said feeling almost insulted.
"Fine two minutes and I will get up" said Shinichi.
He was not happy with this being mistaken as someone else.
He started to poke at her.
"Wake up raise and shine the Doves are waiting to be fed" said Kaito.
But she just pulled the cover for her head even more with her full strength and this ended up making Kaito go flying to the floor landing on his head and ass at the same time.
"OUCH...Are you trying to kill me? ! " said Kaito in pain.
"KILL? WHO? WHAT? " screamed Shinichi as she stood up and bolted up like lightening.
"Get off me!" said Kaito.
And Shinichi realised that she was standing on Kaito.
"Oops sorry!" she said guilty.
She stood off him and he stood up rubbing his head were the mark of Shinichi's foot was.
"It is alright I should have learned my lesson from the last time I tried to wake you up and the pain I got that time, I really do need to learn my lessons" said Kaito.
"Wait you are awake and you are alright " he said pleased and smiling.
"Yeah" said Shinichi.
He hugged her quickly.
"I am so glad that you are fine Shin-Chan" said Kaito still hugging her.
"Too tight...I can't move...you are squeezing way to hard" said Shinichi.
He loosened his grip.
"You can let me go now!" said Shinichi.
But he was still holding onto her.
"I thought you were going to die. You should have told me...I can handle it, and you do not have to carry the burden all by yourself" said Kaito.
"I know, I am sorry" said Shinichi.
Wanting to lighten the mood.
"Hey Ran is here downstairs, and she is waiting to see you" said Kaito.
Shinichi gulped.
"Ran!" said Shinichi scared.
"She is going to kill me when she sees me" said Shinichi.
"No she won't, she is just worried about you there is no need to be worried. I think" said Kaito.
"Now come on downstairs and you can get something to eat, I bet you are starving and there is a lot leftover from earlier on. So come on" said Kaito pulling her.
"Kaito!" she said annoyed as he pulled her out the room.
"What you are not afraid of guns, bombs, men in black but you are afraid of facing your best friend right now?" said Kaito teasing.
"Yes I am" said Shinichi.
"And you are not afraid of me Kaitou Kid the greatest thief of our generation and maybe of all time!" said Kaito frustrated.
Shinichi just laughed.
"Not one bit" said Shinichi.
"Hey" said Kaito annoyed.
"Well you asked" said Kaito.
"Yes...And now you are almost down the stairs and look there is Ran fast asleep on the couch" said Kaito.
Shinichi froze as Kaito smiled victoriously.
"Now what do you have to say Meitantei" said Kaito.
"You bastard you tricked me" said Shinichi.
He took her hand in his.
"No don't think of it like that" he said patting her hand with his other hand.
And then he swung their hands merrily as they walked down the rest of the stairs.
"I am going to get you for this!" said Shinichi.
He smiled.
"That is a promise" she said with her evil grin.
And now he was the one was afraid as he felt the shiver going down his spine.
"Shin-Chan you are awake!" said Chikage happily.
"Yeah" said Shinichi glaring at Kaito.
" Kaito why did you wake her up?" said Chikage sounding disappointed and angry with him at the same time.
"Come on and I will make you something to eat and then we will wake up Ran and talk about everything" said Chikage pulling her into the kitchen.
"I am not that hungry..." said Shinichi.
She received two scolding looks.
"Well ok I can have something to eat" said Shinichi giving up.
She was placed to sit down at the dining table.
"And what would you like to eat? I can make you anything of your hearts desires" said Chikage.
"...? I don't know?" said Shinichi.]
"Hey no fair you never ask me what I want to eat" said Kaito.
"Then that settles it we are having Fried Salmon and Rice" said Chikage.
His face went pale white when he heard it.
And Shinichi just snickered.
And the frying began.
"You are looking rather green Kaitou Kid" said Shinichi.
And the Salmon was now placed in front of them.
He heard Shinichi's stomach grumbling.
"Looks like someone is hungrier than they thought they were" said Kaito rubbing Shinichi's stomach.
"Hey!" said Shinichi annoyed.
She pulled the fish closer.
"GAH!" he screamed.
"Hush you are going to wake people up screaming like a girl" said Shinichi.
He sat there frowning and crossing his arms in silence.
Chikage then put out some other food.
Kaito did not look.
He grabbed a fork angrily and started to eat some food without even looking.
Shinichi and Chikage were both shocked but said nothing and just ate the rest of the food trying not to laugh or tell him what he was eating.
"Did...You enjoy the food that you ate?" said Shinichi through her teeth.
"Yeah and...what are two laughing at?" said Kaito.
He looked back at his plate, and his face went from green to white and back several times realizing that he had just ate a whole lot of fish.
"FISH!" he screamed jumping in his seat.
He almost hit the roof with his head.
"Hey what is going on in here?" said Ran.
They all froze.
"Shinichi? Is that really you?" said Ran shocked.
Shinichi just shook her head nervously.
"Come on Kaito it is best that we give these two girls some privacy so they can talk" said Chikage pulling at Kaito`s arms.
"But?" he said.
He did not want to leave Shinichi`s side.
But he saw her nod in defeat for him to leave.
And now Shinichi was left alone with Ran.
She could feel the coldness in the air and time passing them by.
"Ran...I. " said Shinichi nervously.
"Stupid Detective Geek" said Ran.
Then Ran hugged her and started to cry happily.
"Huh?" said Shinichi shocked.
Ran, let her go and smiled wiping away her tears that was going down her face.
"What you thought that I was going to hurt you? when you are dying...I would never do that, and I am just happy to see you and that you are alive. But I am still mad at you for not telling me the truth" said Ran.
"I am sorry" said Shinichi.
"I know you are" said Ran.
They sat down for a while and chatted.
"So...how did you find out anyway?" said Shinichi.
"You talk in your sleep, and Hattori does as well" said Ran.
"Hattori!" said Shinichi angrily.
"What?" said Ran.
"It is all his fault that you found out, ok maybe not all his fault but it is his fault that Kaito found out the truth from him and his stupid slip ups all the times that he could me Kudo. I am so going to get him for this and if he has...and it is his fault that Hakuba figured it out as well he is so done for this and I am never going to tell him anything again" said Shinichi.
"You told Hattori and you never told me?" said Ran angrily.
"No he figured it out and blackmailed me" said Shinichi.
"Hattori did that" said Ran.
"The only person that I actually told was Agasa, and he was the first person that saw me like that and well it all went on from there" said Shinichi.
"So, you really told no one then the truth about who you were?" said Ran.
"No" said Shinichi.
"Why not other than the obvious?" said Ran.
"Because...it is embarrassing and humiliating that something like that could even happen and it was just a nightmare that is would hope was just that and I did not really want to admit to the truth because, it would be all too real. I was in a prison that I could not escape, and I did not want anyone to know or pity me or laugh. It was just a lot and I did not want to talk about" said Shinichi.
"But you are now" said Ran hopeful.
"Yeah and look how far that has gotten me" said Shinichi sadly.
Ran put her fist against the table angrily.
This made Shinichi jump.
"You are only looking at the bad things, and you can look at the good. There is a boy that is crazy about you and would do anything about for you and I can see that you like him the same way but you are too afraid to act on it. Why Shinichi?" said Ran.
"I am afraid" said Shinichi.
"Of what?" said Ran.
"That he might die" said Shinichi.
"Like Mark did" said Ran.
"Yes" said Shinichi.
"I kissed him and twenty minutes later he and his family died, people say I am cursed and it a lot of the time it does feel like that" said Shinichi.
"Shinichi you can't still be blaming yourself for that, can you?" said Ran.
"...?" said Shinichi.
"Shinichi you need to stop blaming yourself for things that you are not responsible for and just be happy for once in your life" said Ran.
"I will think about it" said Shinichi.
"No. I heard that you were forced to ask him out on a date and you are going to keep your word and go out on your date tomorrow with him" said Ran.
"BUT!" said Shinichi.
"This is not up for debate, and this is how you can make it up to me" said Ran.
Shinichi jaw dropped.
"And I will make the both of you a lovely picnic and you can have a lot date in the park" said Ran.
"Sorry to interrupt but the last we did that Hakuba showed up and he pops up a lot when we are together, frankly I am surprised he has not showed up here yet" said Shinichi.
"Well...actually I have a date with Hakuba tomorrow so I can keep him out of your brown hair that you are using as a disguise" said Ran.
Shinichi started to cough.
"Are you alright?" said ran.
"Sorry did I just hear you correctly that you have a date with Hakuba as in a Detective, someone you would never date" said Shinichi shocked.
"Yeah...so I like him" said Ran going red in the face.
Shinichi deadpanned.
"Just shut up" said Ran going even redder.
THUD
They heard a noise and the quickly looked around to see Kaito falling down the stairs and jump to his feet.
"Are you seriously going out with that Bastard?" said Kaito.
"Yeah there is nothing wrong with him" said Ran.
"Other than he is a boring bastard, he is accusing me of being Kaitou Kid all of the time and it is annoying" said Kaito.
"Well to point out the obvious, you are" said Shinichi bored.
"Yeah" said Ran.
"He is also a stalker, and he also went out on a date with your best friend and he likes my Shin-Chan that way. What makes you think he is not really just using you?" said Kaito.
Shinichi kicked him in the shin.
"I was the one that asked him and you are a stalker and a pervert and you are still getting the girls somehow I don't how but she actually likes you that way" said Ran.
"Hey I am not a Pervert...stop calling me that" said Kaito.
"Fine then Bakaito" said Ran.
Shinichi could see the fire in both of their eyes.
"Right, calm down the both of you. Seriously!" said Shinichi.
"But you are really going out with Hakuba?" said Shinichi.
"He is worried about and you and I like that" said Ran.
Two deadpanned faces.
"He is as boring as Sherlock Holmes is" said Kaito without thinking.
"You shouldn't have said that" said Ran worried.
" Why?" said Kaito laughing and confused.
" You insult Sherlock Holmes like that. You insult me!" said Shinichi firecly.
He turned around to see Shinichi mad as hell he could almost imagine the red burning fire aura around her and him descending into hell the moment she got her hands on him. He was a dead man.
"SORRY! SORRY!" he said as he ran up the stairs and kept tripping over them and running up them again.
Shinichi just sat down and smiled.
"What you are not going to after him for insulting Sherlock Holmes like that?" said Ran shocked.
"Naw, I am too tired and I want to keep the energy that I have " said Shinichi sighing.
"You really do love him if you forgave him at fast" said Ran teasing.
Shinichi just rolled her eyes at Ran.
"What?" said Ran innocently.
RING
"Oh that is my phone...it is...Hakuba!" said Ran.
"See he really does creep up somehow" said Shinichi.
"I better just take this call" said Ran.
And ran went by her name and ran out of the room with the phone in her hand and a smile on her face.
Shinichi just leaned against the counter and sighed.
"Shin-Chan"
She turned around to see her mother with the phone in her hand.
"Dad? He is out of surgery" said Shinichi.
Yukiko nodded.
"Is he?" said Shinichi.
"He is still in critical condition, but the operation went fine and they are just keeping an eye on him but he is doing much better than they thought they would. I think he is just going to be fine. Shin-Chan he is going to make it" said Yukiko.
She could feel the tears falling down on her face as she was in shock.
"He is?" said Shinichi.
"Yes!" said Yukiko hugging her daughter who was in shock and could not move a single muscle and she just kissed her daughter on the cheek.
"I need to make some arrangements, but everything is turning out better than I thought it would" said Yukiko.
And she left her daughter alone to think.
Shinichi sat back down and started to cry happily.
"Shin-Chan is it safe to come in now?" said Kaito peering in the door.
She did not answer and he was worried.
