Chapter 3 - Sorry for the last chapter I didn't have much time to type chapter 2. I hope you like this chapter.
Previously on the The Worlds Collide :
"Ishizu, I felt something," Shadi said. " Something happened to the owner of the Bracelet of Darkness. He is in danger.
" Can we do anything to help him? " Ishizu asked.
" No, this is one of the tests of the Bracelet of Darkness. It is testing him. This item has dark and mysterious powers that can and will show themselves only to those who are worthy. There are many things that he will be tested through that the item will use to evaluate him. We can only watch and help guide him but he will have to prove his worthiness by himself." Shadi stated.
" We can only hope for the best." Ishizu said solemnly.
Meanwhile
While Conan was being helped as much as possible in the ambulance Haibara had been able to help them get into a more cheerful state. They all valued their group leader and wanted him to get better no matter what. They wanted to apologize for their brashness earlier. So they all went to the hospital with him.
At the Hospital
Kogoro, Ran, and the kids were waiting in the waiting room hoping that Conan can get out of this with as little damage as possible.
After a 4 hour wait the surgery lights went out and the doctors came out of Conan's room.
"Doctor… How is Conan?" Ran asked anxiously.
The doctor looked grim for a moment then answered, " He stabilized but his injury isn't simple. His skull was cracked and it started bleeding in the brain so we had to take the blood out. But on a good note there will not be anything permanent he will be able to make a full recovery in about two months if nothing goes wrong.
"Can...we visit him?" Ayumi asked slowly. She was still really scared for Conan-kun.
" Yes, you can visit him and he should be awakening soon but please don't all go in at the same time. Also, try and get him to not talk alot since he needs to rest and painkillers can only do so much if he is not resting." The doctor explained.
The group then broke into two. Ran, Kogoro, and Genta would go first. Then, Haibara, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko would go next.
In Conan's Room
Conan-kun… why do you always have to get hurt Conan-kun ? " Ran cries when she is by Conan's bed.
Kogoro looks at Conan sadly. " Get better quickly brat. Or else we'll have to stay in this city for too long and I won't get to watch TV." He said to dismiss the words of emotion that he said. He has grown to feel like a father to the boy.
When it became Genta's turn to say something he hesitated.
" Conan, even if you can't hear me… hontou ni gomen nasai. It was all my fault that you got hit by that car." Genta apologized almost crying. Almost. He didn't want to cry now. If Conan-kun saw him he would tell him to stop crying and face everything face to face and he would do so now.
Soon after it became group two's turn.
Haibara, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko went in to Conan's room. Haibara and the kids ran to Conan's bed when they saw how he was. He looked broken and small with how many machines were strapped to him.
Ayumi worked up the courage and began talking first.
" Conan-kun, Gomen nasai ! It's all my fault that you got hit by that car. If I had paid more attention then you wouldn't be in this situation." Ayumi said bowing.
Suddenly a voice started talking in a low voice. A voice she didn't think she would hear just yet. Conan-kun had woken up and was speaking to her.
"A-ayumi it's not your fault. Any of you. Everyone makes mistakes. It's alright." Conan said slowly.
" But Conan-kun doesn't make mistakes. So we shouldn't make mistakes! " Mitsuhiko interrupted.
" That's not true. That is one of the most not true things that can ever be said. Me. Me of all people know that mistakes happen because I make mistakes. But you should know that your mistakes are nothing close to mine. My mistakes end up with disasters happening. Your lucky that yours do nothing. Don't worry about mistakes. No. It's not your fault that I got hurt. No, I should have been able to save you before things became dire." Ayumi and Mitsuhiko were shocked at what Conan had said, but they didn't notice the tone that he had used while talking about himself. Only Haibara had noticed. It was a tone of Self-loathing.
Haibara was shocked. Of all the people in the world she didn't think that Kudo-kun would be one with self-loathing hidden inside. She was gonna need to speak with him as soon as possible before things took a turn for the worst.
"Minna, let's get going Edogawa-kun wasted enough breath already. We should leave him to rest." Haibara said in her normal cool tone.
" Hai !" They both sighed now happy that they had talked to Conan-kun and that he didn't blame them. Not that they thought that he would. Suddenly, they noticed that Haibara didn't move from her place.
" Haibara-san, are you staying here?" Mitsuhiko asked.
"Tsuburaya-kun, I only have a few words that I want to say to Edogawa-kun. I'll be coming shortly." Haibara explained.
After the kids left, Haibara rounded on Kudo-kun.
"Kudo-kun, what you said to the kids-"
" Nothing that I said to the kids was made no mistake. They were happy and excited to be on a trip." Conan interrupted.
" Fine. But the self-loathing tone that you have found the need to use. Explain that, huh? What's your excuse for that?"
Suddenly his hair covered his eyes and his expression was unreadable.
" But it's true."
"Huh?"
"Because of my stupidity, many people died. You know it. Don't try denying it. Even you blame me sometimes. Because of me your sister died!-"
" Don't be stupid! You know that it's not your fault. And… you know that… at that time was just mad at myself and the whole world. I had no right- NO RIGHT at all to blame you. You couldn't have done anything to stop her. My sister chose to go even after you tried to stop her. Her death had nothing to do with you."
" I shouldn't have been able to be stopped. I should have known. I should have been able to stop her from getting killed and knowing that the Black Organization were after her. I shouldn't have been a failure like every time."
" BAKA-BAKANE. You… you… I don't know what to say to you anymore. If you weren't hurt I would have came and slapped you so hard you would have been blinded. That was STUPID. You save everyone you self-loathing jerk. There hasn't been any person. Any Person. Good or bad that you haven't saved. Then you say you are a failure. What should the other people who were criminals and suddenly are good say then. That they should be killed? You are one of the Best. The Best you hear. The BEST person that I have met. That is saying a lot since there are many other people that could take that title but NEVER would they give up there life to save another. So how about you think about these words and talk to me later after you fix yourself up! "
Then Haibara left leaving the hurt detective to think about her words.
It looks like not only would he have to heal physically but also emotionally and mentally. But the problem is that no one had noticed until things had become bad enough. But… there still might be hope. Hope that the problems of the past come to light. The problems that were buried away and never had a chance to heal may have a chance to come out and have a new chance to heal. People that had made a big mistake to come back and… maybe… just maybe start fixing these mistakes that have long past scarred and left to heal in an unnatural way. Maybe… Just maybe… There is still HOPE left.
