Much thanks to Ysabet and Ryo Hoshi for their beta-reads, without which I'd probably have far too many spelling, continuity and grammatical errors.
Epilogue: In which Ai and Heiji continue their argument about the existence of ghosts
"Don't you see? That dog you saw proves nothing," Ai said in an annoyed tone as Agasa-hakase worked on the strength of signal his watch was sending out. "It could be your own mind creating an image from your childhood as a warning that something horrible is about to happen. After all, if it really was this Black Dog you claim, wouldn't there have been a real death? Toda-san is alive and well because you listened to your instinct instead of running from a ill-omen."
I sighed. "Okay. I can grant you that," I said slowly. "There's just one thing."
"Yes?" Ai perched on her stool and glared at me. She so hated the idea of admitting to the supernatural.
"If it's something my mind created to warn me of something bad," I asked, gazing down between us. "Why the HELL is it following me around?"
On the floor, my new found companion sat up and panted at me happily, an action that would have been so much less worrisome if it had bothered to find a head.
The End.
Authorial Notes:
- I have absolutely no idea yet if the dog is 'real'
or a by-product of Heiji's talent.
- I promise, next story concentrates more on Heiji and Kazuha. Conan and Kaito may not show up at all.
- I would have put more Kaito in, but I just couldn't figure out a way to do it without getting sidetracked. I have a story in the works for him though, I promise, Ysabet.
