Staring at her own reflection the mirror for the past twenty minutes she could see that nothing had changed, nothing at all physically just before she was shrunken down the first time at all.
Yes, her hair had grown along with her nails some scars had been left but had also disappeared but she had physically aged in the slightest. Haibara had confirmed it to her in private she was never going to age another day again and would likely to heal just as fast and faster in the near future especially with every energy that she would get the more likely she would heal quicker.
Her hair had grown quickly from her shoulders length to her tailbone in the matter of weeks instead of the months or even for some years. And was shiner and stronger than ever as well and so soft that you think that it would be delicate but was stronger than ever. The same good be said for her nail as well growing strong as well and was somehow improving at all times.
No experiments done to her and her body have recovered fully from it and was getting better as her muscles were now back the way they used to be before all this happened and get stronger/improving quicker when she started to exercise. Haibara had given her a boost of adrenaline in the heart when she fell asleep along with the latest experiment that she had been working on.
It was brief but she as an experiment again not knowing it at the time, that is until she woke up yawning and stretching her arms and legs using all her muscles as she woke up trying to relax like you always do. And when she was finished, she was just shocked and blinked seeing that she was fully healed and no longer hooked up to anymore machine.
Then she saw Haibara looking at her but still not in the eye as she had something to discuss with her of the good and unfortunate news that she had to discuss with her.
She was immortal.
Very much like Vermouth was and had come in a very similar way and now her greatest fear that she just might end up like her one day because living forever was something that she would never want.
But also worse news was to come when she was told that she could not or never would have children because she was unable was in shock when she heard it at first and did not believe it at her as she was in denial and then started to cry as she heard it.
The Black Organisation had taken her future from her and the life that she loved so much was over with everything lost there was nothing that she could think of now but taking them down once and for all.
She wanted Revenge, and she was going to get it by the means of Justice making sure that every single member was locked up for the rest of their existences. They would have a shred of the life that she had being locked up in a cage and never getting out because They would die in their cages or cells whatever you prefer to call them.
But those dark thought just the thought of them beginning in her head was starting to scare her and dark thoughts like that were starting to scare because the thought of her turning out just like Vermouth was terrifying her. She was already a darker person she could clearly see that and she was able to think more darker thoughts and far more like a criminal that it was terrifying to say it at the least. Her concuss was lessening by the day and was almost numbing at the moment because she put a pin in her emotions because right now she did not want to feel a thing knowing the trauma that she went through would crash land on her and she did not want to be a wreck right now or ever.
She was nervous and kept biting her nails, and it did not help that they kept growing back in her sleep when he kept biting them down to nothing.
Her parents were coming to meet and collect her then she would be taken to another unknown location with them so that her statement could be taken as prove that The Black Organisation was real. Every other witness that would come forward was either killed before they came a statement or would kill the person(s) that were interviewing most witnesses could not be trusted or taken for their word as a Lawyer would shred them to pieces for what they were saying would "Ludicrous" so right now she was their best shot at it all for the proper people to be made into a Taskforce to take them down.
And when her parents were finally brought, she would no longer be locked up in the same room that she had been in for weeks and she could finally at least get some freedom back in her life. Something that she had been hoping for a very long time that she could just walked down the street feeling safe, completely safe and not having to look at everything and everyone at every step that she took.
"Fuck! Fuck!"she said panicking as she began pacing the room as she continued biting her nails.
Meeting and seeing her parents again, in so long she really did not know how to feel but scared and nervous. It was a parents job to protect their child and they did a half ass job of that at most of the times but when she needed their help they would come when she asked. But she wished more than one time that they were the one stop come to her rescue and were the ones to save her instead, but sadly they were not. And for that she was angry with them angry they did not do anything to protect her or help her, they should have done something else. They should have made her go away with them the moment that they found out that she had been shrunk instead of helping games with her or even after taking her with them anyway. They should have done something, anything she was foolish to think that she could have done all of this without any help and all by herself was just stupid of her and she had made a fool of herself. And she had got other get caught in her own stupid web of lies and idiocy it was all for nothing and she wished that she went with them when she had the chance.
But the moment her parents entered the room her anger had faded the moment that she saw them and was gone for good, for the moment.
"Mummy, Daddy" she said happily like a child.
She immediately hugged her mother, and her father was hugging the both of them. They were all finally together and being a family.
"Shin-Chan it is so good to see you again" said Yukiko in tears.
The tone in her voice she could tell immediately and moved away from the hug reacting it as she pushed her mother's arm away.
"Wait a minute, this whole time you knew I was alive" she said.
It was not a question as she was stating and waiting for an answer hoping that she was wrong but also knowing that she was not.
"Now just hold on a sec Shinichi, there were complications and situations that were out of our hands during that time. We wish that we could do more but we could not do anything that would have helped you or anyone for that matter" said Yusaku.
He put his hand on her shoulder as he said it as h looked her in the eye.
"What are you keeping from me?" said Shinichi.
"That does not matter right now what matters are getting you back to yourself again to back your old life so things can go back to normal" said Yusaku.
Cleary her parents were the ones that were in denial, her life would never be the same again and it would never be normal ever again.
" Things will never be the same you need to get used to that and things will get much easier that way " said Shinichi as she walked away.
She just peaked through the blinds looking away from her parents giving them the moment to process things.
"Haibara said that I would never age another day again in my life so that practically makes me immortal. I will be sixteen years old forever" said Shinichi sadly but trying to hide it the best she could.
There was a bitter silence in the air.
"To be sixteen years old again, that would be a miracle" said Yukiko.
She was mad at her mother and immediately turned around to take out all her anger out on her childish like mother. But to her surprise her mother was crying and had her arms open for her as she pulled her into a hug and before she knew it she too was soon crying as she could no longer hold back her sadness any longer.
Yukiko tightened the grip on her daughter, one look in her eyes she could see just how damaged she truly was. She did not think that it was this bad of what could have happened to her but just looking at how fragile her daughter looked she could see there was no longer any hope in her eyes. She was a lost lonely girl that needed her parents and they were not there for her and she was not going to leave her daughter not again.
The news about Yusaku and his condition it could wait until later when everything was resolved and they could get back to being a family. Life would be a struggle from now on for all of them but she was going to make sure that everything would be prepared for any situation that was a head for all of them.
"Sh sh sh" said Yukiko hugging her daughter.
Knock Knock
With the knock on the door Shinichi quickly wiped her eyes dry and wiped away all of her tears.
The door was opened and Hattori was standing there.
"Kudo" is all he said.
"Hattori" said Shinichi.
Both looked at each other remembering the last time that they saw each other and then they both nodded as he was confirming that he had told Kaito the truth.
"You two have been friends for ears just call him Heiji already and you can call her Shinichi or call her Shin-Chan if you like" said Yuiko as she winked.
Both of them just looked bushing away slightly.
"But it is...weird and he might call me Shirley again by accident if he tries calling me by my first name" said Shinichi.
Yukiko growled at her daughter.
"Kudo is right...I wait for I do not slip up that much " said Hattori.
Shinichi just facepalmed at that moment.
"You're the reason Kaito found out who I was " stated Shinichi.
Her father was now giving him a disapproving look.
"Detectives" he said annoyed.
She looked at her father confused.
"Dad?" she said confused.
The time he had thought that his daughter had been dead he had a heart attack from hearing the news and soon after that he had given up being a Detective. His skills could not save her then he was of no use the only person he could protect was himself and his beloved wife, but they could not protect their daughter.
The news was all too much for his heart and then hearing that she was actually alive from a her friend of hers was a shock and then upon hearing what was happening to her had caused him to have another heart this time this one was bad and his recovery had not gone well and still was not as he was still recovering taking his pills and he was not to have any stress in life. But right now he needed to be here for his daughter and that would in the end be less stress knowing that she was safe and by his side.
But in return he was not going to tell her not just yet and still was adding more stress to his heart keeping this secret from her could kill him.
"We need to go and now would be best" said Yusaku.
