Hello Everyone! So… before you get mad at me… which you have every right to! But I was trying my best juggling online school work, boredom, writing the chapter, and facing writer's block. Let me tell you one thing- IT SUCKS LIKE HELL! So I plead for forgiveness and Here is the next Chapter!
Previously on The Worlds Collide:
"He has faced death on his own many times and has faced death even more to save others. He goes through alot but keeps it in fear to show feelings to others who might see him as weak. You are lucky if you see true emotion on his face, for it doesn't happen much anymore. What happened today was just an example."
"What do you mean?"
" He wasn't mad at me. He was scared that I found out something that he'd rather keep to himself. But I couldn't let him keep it to himself because he is only hurting himself that way. He will keep pretending he is fine until he breaks."
"So what are you gonna do now?"
"I can only tell you so much. The rest he tells you since, it's not my story and he only can choose to tell you since he knows what exactly happened. Just know that if you find out anything else you will put yourselves and everyone around you in extreme danger and that if me or him are targeted or found out you will most likely be on their hit list t-"
" You're only kidding yourselves. If what you're saying is true then we will be targeted the moment you get found out or become a target for them, because I'm pretty sure they won't wait and see who knows what and who doesn't. Either way whether we know or not we will be targeted. You are coming up with these statements just for peace of mind. I don't blame you but no one should live a lie and you know it or else you wouldn't have tried to help him."
" You are right. On that note, Let's begin. This story starts…
~Meanwhile~
I… don't know what I'm going to tell them. And I don't even know if she's there. Well there's no backing down now. I'm already there. Shinichi was overthinking every single point in his misery. He was miserable because he didn't know if he could salvage the situation. He didn't want anyone mad at him but he didn't want to tell them anything.
Remembering that he couldn't stand there forever he made up his mind and went to knock at the door.
A minute later, the door opened.
"Conan-kun?"
"Ran-neechan. I came to see if Haibara is here and apologize to all of you."
"She's here. Come in. It's cold outside, you should have worn a jacket."
"Ran, who's at the door?"
"It's Conan-kun. We'll be coming in now."
Shinichi awkwardly made his way up the steps, thinking about how he was gonna apologize and mentally getting ready to get kicked out of the house.
"Edogawa-kun."
"Haibara….I'm sorry for this afternoon. It was wrong of me to get mad, and scream at you. I'm sorry. To all of you. I shouldn't have gotten mad because of a small thing."
"If anyone should be apologizing, it should be me. I should not have gotten into what wasn't mine. You respect my privacy but I failed to respect yours."
"Haibara… "
"Now that that is out of the way. You are both gonna keep explaining. Because I think that it has gone far too long with us being fed lies, don't you think? We were told about the poison bet as Haibara-san told us, she doesn't want to invade your privacy and tell us. You have to tell us yourself."
"You…you told them. I thought that we weren't supposed to say anything because that could put them in danger!"
"I think that whether you tell us or not we will still be in danger. And we already know that you're Shinichi. I just want to know how this happened.
"Bu-… Fine. I will tell you. I can't stay too long though because I still have to go home."
"Home… where? I thought you would stay here?"
"No. I'm going back to… Is this place properly sweeped?"
"Yes. I had them check before telling them anything."
" I have someone at my house, so I will be staying there for a couple of days. Based on what he wants to do, then we'll see where I will be staying?"
"What do you mean based on what he wants to do?"
"Haibara, I'll tell you later. Now Ran and Mouri-san want to know exactly what happened. So I guess I have to tell them, don't I?"
"Yeah, I guess."
"It all started when…"
An hour later and the story was told. But even then he hadn't told them everything. Not even Haibara knew exactly what happened. He was the only one. With his already low-self esteem and self-doubt what happened that day really didn't help and he was scared that even if they were nice with him now they would hate him and tell him that it's his fault for being shrunken.
"Shinichi, you should have told us. We would have helped you. You didn't have to go through that alone."
" Shinichi-kun you are like a son to me. You should know that. We will be with you every step of the way. I have a question though. Did you ever have a clash with the organization afterwards?"
They weren't… they weren't telling him it was his fault? They actually wanted to help him. Why they should hate him and never want to see him again. But as for the organization…
"Yes, a couple of times. There was the attack at Touto tower, the gun shootout. They saw someone there. It was me but they didn't see me properly, so they hit the whole tower but I was able to shoot them down. Then there was the collapsed Ferris wheel. I was able to inflate a soccer ball big enough and with the help of… someone the Ferris wheel didn't hurt anyone."
"What happened to the person who helped?"
"They were crushed. They helped stop the Ferris wheel by driving one of the forklifts present under the Ferris wheel. They were immediately crushed under the weight."
"You knew that person personally?"
"Yah, she was…"
"She was like me. An agent to the organization. She had lost her memory earlier and we were helping her before we found out. Later on, she regained her memory, but she didn't want to return to the organization. She wanted to save the kids. She helped me get away, while Kudo-kun tried to stop the Ferris. She was considered a traitor in her last moments. Though I have to ask, just how did you shoot down their helicopter during the shootout at Touto? That was a top secret plane that they didn't use for anything unless they were declaring war on someone."
"That someone they shot was Irish. The police had them surrounded, so they shot him and the card together. He saved me from getting shot before he died when they noticed me. After he died they kept shooting till they trapped me on the top."
"How did you survive?"
"I shot at the cockpit, the Helicopter crash landed."
"With what? I'm pretty sure that you had almost nothing on you!"
"I had the elastic suspenders, and one of the lights. I used the suspenders to bring me down as much as possible while connected to the lights. Then using the light as a shot, it was propelled by the suspenders at a high speed towards the cockpit. The copter was then forced to crash and you know the rest."
"But he died."
"You can't save everyone Kudo-kun. You tried and that's what matters. You didn't leave him there not caring whether he died or lived. You wanted him to survive and he saved you. That is not a bad thing. You do so much to help everyone. For once just look at it differently. It's late, way too late and we should all be getting some sleep. I will go to the professor's house. We can continue this tomorrow. Is that fine?"
"Yes, that should be fine. Shinichi-kun where will you be going? I will be going to the Kudo Residence. I have some unfinished things to do. Call me if you are going to speak here or if you want we could speak at the Kudo Residence. I will be doing things though before going to sleep so I might not be up that early but we'll see what we could do. Oyasuminasai (Good night)"
"Oyasumi, Kudo-kun."
Okay! That concludes this chapter! Gomennasai, minna-san (I'm sorry, everyone) I honestly was planning to finish and post this chapter earlier but I couldn't. I hope you liked this chapter and don't forget to R&R. Bye Bye Readers!
