Sonoko was not happy right now with her Fiancé Makoto because he had forgotten all about their anniversary because of the current tournament that he was in and worst he was in another country half way across the world so he would not be able to make it on time.
So for their anniversary she was stuck at home watching TV but since there was a Kaitou Kid or Phantom Gentleman. She loved him and his new disguise though him changes meant that he was getting older and that was making her feel old and she did not like the change.
And there was nothing on the TV but stupid lovely dovey films that she be with her Fiancé Makaoto right now because there was so many of them that she could be watching right now. Especially the sequels that were on to their films that was especially for them and her were wearing her red scarf right now.
He was supposed to be here by now, and they were supposed to be watching all of the films together and he should be turning up with two dozen red roses and a box of chocolates and sweets as well. She wanted her favourite and all right now she was eating popcorn and hundreds of other sweets.
But he was not going to make it because the plane had been cancelled so there moonlight dinner also had to be cancelled and all of the romance for tonight was dead and would just have to wait for tomorrow instead.
Right now she could at least watch the Kaitou Kid Heist, was on tonight that, was something that she could at least look forward to because that was something that she could always look forward to. She was not going to use him by his other name no way in hell not yet because she was not ready to because to her he would always be her KID-Sama.
She missed him, and she wanted to see him again after not seeing him for so many years in person that is but she was still afraid of what Makoto might still do to him because of the last time they had met. The whole thing with the changing of clothes and the whole jealously thing she had no idea he would react that badly and almost demolish the place in jealous. But she loved him even more because of this and she loved his jealously of him showing how much he was willing to work for their relationship and her parents approval, that he knows had.
He also had her Uncle's approval as well as Lupin's who seemed to like him as much as he loved Shirley the little brat how he seemed to love right away and missed a lot. Not that she would admit this to anyone but she was missing that little Brat and wondered just how little she still was.
Her Uncle could not find the Brat when he searched for her hoping that she would help with the new older and improved Kaitou Kid. But he could not find her at all and he did a big search paying a lot of money to Detectives and they could never find her, not one of them no matter how much money he paid them.
She was missing the little Brat and because the Brat was not here her Uncle was refusing to go up against Kaitou Kid without her because he did not like losing and if he did not have her then he was surely to lose to a grown-up Kaitou Kid.
Ran's father the old man was back to his old ways and being a suck ass Detective and Ran was evening doing a better job than him at it that was when she was forced into helping him. The man was a terrible gum shoe detective, and he was back to doing all of his old cases casing cheaters and cats for money. But the Brat's little friend was doing a much better job at finding the cats and getting paid for it than he was a million time better than the old man and they were in school for most of their time while he was trying to find them.
The Snob one went and disappeared on them as well and they were unhappy that they just and gone with the crazy scientist as well and just started hanging around with Ran. Who was more than happy to have them tag along with them going shopping and even followed the old man on cases when they got the chance. And weird enough the ones that they did follow him on was always ones that ended up being solved and she was sure it was mostly because of them.
Ran was much better when the little Brats were about, and that was why she tolerated them for so long because they were a distraction and helped take her minds of other things.
She was still one of the few people that believed that Shinichi was still alive and out there somewhere just probably working on a case and had got distracted again.
"This is Rena Mizunashi Reporter from Tokyo coming to you now with some surprising and shocking news for all of you to hear and to watch tonight after the Kaitou Kid Heist you will get to see my Interview with a surprising guest. I know what you are all thinking that this is just another dull Interview well that is not the case because you all get to see an Interview and Live with a someone that is thought to the world to be dead and my guest will be here tonight to tell her story to the world" said Rena Mizunashi.
The blurring TV had caught her attention and before she knew it she was no longer pacing the room.
"Oh how exciting who could it possibly be?" thought Sonoko.
RING
She jumped as she heard her phone ringing and dropped it on the floor scrambling for it seeing that Ran was phoning her and it was about to go to voicemail she just managed to grab it on time.
"Hello Ran" said Sonoko.
"Hum!" said Ran.
"Ran is that you?" said Sonoko.
"Yeah it is me, Sonoko, did you just watch the news about surprise Interview with Rena Mizunashi tonight after the Phantom Gentleman Heist tonight?" said Ran.
"KID-Sama yes" said Sonoko excitedly.
"Sonoko. It is Phantom Gentleman now" said Ran correcting her.
Lately, it seemed like Ran was a much bigger fan than her and always correcting her when she made mistakes, always when she said the wrong thing that nasty habit she happened to pick up from the Brat, who she picked it from Shinichi. She missed Shinichi and those annoying Detective geek habits that people picked up from her where happy reminders of her and that part of her was still alive in everyone. That she was not forgotten and that she never would be and that maybe she should go and visit her grave again since she had not done it in a while and owed it to her to tell her how she felt. Since that was what she was always good for talking and getting all your emotions out on so you know exactly how you could feel and what to do because she would most likely tell you with having to tell her almost anything.
"Sonoko?" said Ran.
She had stopped paying attention knowing that she was going to be lectured and know likely lectured for still not listening.
"I am still here, and he will always be KID-Sama to me that is until he tells me himself to call him something else then I am not going to" said Sonoko.
"Sonoko!" said Ran.
"And anyway I thought we were talking about the news because I think it might be a famous celebrity that died or something, a whole conspiracy cause I thought Rena Mizunashi was dead so unless she is Interviewing herself then it could be." said Sonoko.
"I think I know who it is" bluttered out Ran.
"WHAT?" screamed Sonoko down the phone hurting Ran's eardrums.
She dropped her phone as she did it as well and cracked her screen at the same time.
"Ran you still there. Tell me who it is TELL ME?" said Sonoko.
There was a silence on the phone as she could hear Ran's hot breath and now she was thinking like a Detective Geek.
Why was she thinking of that Detective Geek so much now anyway?
"Can you meet me at my place, and I will tell you, everything but you must swear that you cannot tell anyone? Promise me Sonoko that you will not tell anyone if I tell you what I need to tell you that you will not tell another soul?" said Ran.
No pressure.
Ran was crying, and she wanted to stop it.
"Yeah ok I got nothing else to do since Makoto left me in the lurches for our anniversary" said Sonoko.
Ran paused and stopped crying, next she would feel guilty and would tell her not to come and have a nice day.
"Be there in ten minutes" said Sonoko and then she quickly hung up the phone.
After Ran told Sonoko that Shinichi is alive
"THE DETECTIVE GEEK IS ALIVE!" screamed Sonoko.
She was angry.
"Sonoko not so loud" said Ran.
Sonoko began pacing the room.
"Why that Detective Geek obviously does not care how anyone feels and what she made everyone go through thinking that she was dead. And for what fame? Going on TV telling the world that she just solved the biggest case like she found the Zodiac killer and Jack the Ripper or she proved that JFK was assassinated by a conspiracy. Or found Elvis Presley in someone's basement. I cannot wait to hear her excuse is time and why you keep defending after all this time and everything she put you through is unbelievable" said Sonoko.
She was mad and happy at the same time that her friend was alive and that she was going to see her in a matter of hours but also could not believe it at the same time. She had to keep pinching herself to make herself believe it was true.
The Detective Geek did not die, after all, had had a lot of explaining to do.
"Sonoko!" said Ran.
"Are you sure it is her?" said Sonoko.
Ran nodded "I have seen her for myself she is alive and..." said Ran.
Her both dropped from shock and now she was angry with everyone.
"You knew she was alive, and you kept this from me. And I thought we were best friends" said Sonoko.
"We are friends" said Ran.
"But not Best Friends because they do not keep secrets from each other apart from Shinichi of course who keeps secrets from everyone from the world, except you that is and her parents of course know that she is alive" said Sonoko.
"We are Best Friends, Shinichi is just more like no she is a sister to me and there is far more to the story than you know that is why I have to tell you everything and why you cannot tell anyone. Including Shinichi because she would hate if I told anyone because she was not even the one that told me that she was alive not that she could. But knowing her she would not have to keep me safe and keep everyone safe" said Ran.
Ran was crying tears of happiness and sadness, so she sat down ready to listen.
"Shinichi was kidnapped, and her death was faked by the bad guys that is why every thought she was dead and why it is not her fault that everyone think she is dead because there is so much to this story Sonoko that it going to take some time and I do not know everything just a few things" said Ran.
After Ran told Sonoko everything
"That idiot is Kaitou Kid and Shinichi is dating Kaitou Kid this whole time while she was the Brat right under our nose the whole time" said a gobsmacked Sonoko.
She knew that Ran had a crush on the Kuroba creep.
"Och, I changed in the bathroom right next to him I think I am going to be sick" said Sonoko.
Ran laughed at her finally stopped crying.
"So Shinichi? How is she?" said Sonoko.
Ran's face went grim.
"Defeated is what she looked like. And what They did to her I want to kill every last One of Them for what They did to her and made her go through" said Ran.
That was the part that was left out of that happened to her.
"She was tortured wasn't she" said Sonoko.
"She was tested there was she and blood many..." said Ran as she started to cry.
She hugged Ran.
"Come one we will go to Kaitou Kid Heist tonight and the three of us will sneak in to see her to see how she is doing" said Sonoko.
