Chapter Six.  I Can't Stop My Love For You

            "Who are you?"  Ran asked the Black Knight, her face was blushing as she was embraced tightly by the Black Knight.

"I can't tell you now, I don't want you to be in danger.  But I'll save you tomorrow night.  Then I'll tell you who I am.  Please trust me."

"You know me?"  Ran was curious that a Black Knight would come to rescue me.

"…"

"I'll wait for you."  Princess Ran thought that his voice was familiar, and also the feeling from his touch…

"Are you Shinichi?"  asked Princess Ran.

"I need to go now.  Remember our promise to meet tomorrow night.  I'll come for you."  Ran watched the Black Knight to leave the room.

Shinichi went back to the entrance of the East Tower, "thank you for letting me in."

"This is my pleasure.  I'll be waiting for you to come back to this castle." 

Prince Shinichi saw Kaito and the kids were already waiting for him.  "you're so slow, we need to leave now, or else Gin would suspect us.  He's quite smart."  Kaito told Shinichi.

At the small hut miles away the castle   

            "So we're going to rescue Princess Ran tomorrow night.  Kaito would perform a magic show to distract Gin and the others, while Prince Shinichi tries to save her at the East Tower."  Heiji was discussing with Prince Shinichi, Kaito, Takagi and Sato about the plan to rescue the Princess.

"I'll perform a splendid magic show, and then I'll make the Black Knight disappear in front of the King.  He'll then appear at the East Tower and rescue the Princess," explained Kaito.

"Urh…how can she fall asleep now?"  Kazuha had fallen asleep and had her head leaning against Heiji's shoulder.

"She must be very tired today, since many things had happened today.  Let her sleep.  We need to take some rest also," said Sato.  They all left the room, leaving only Heiji and Kazuha alone in the room.

"Heiji, you'd better go back to the Kingdom of the West with Kazuha, we might need extra help from Queen Eri."  Shinichi told Heiji before leaving the room.

Heiji soon fell asleep with Kazuha sleeping next to him.

*           *           *           *           *           *           *           *

            Prince Shinichi could hardly have any sleep at all; he was just too worried about Princess Ran.

"Don't worry, she would be save."  It was Ai talking to him.

"What?  I'm just thinking if the plan would work tomorrow."

"Your face shows it all, signs of worries though you could do nothing to it," said Ai.  "She's much stronger than what you'd thought."

"…"

*           *           *           *           *           *           *           *

            "Brother, what is it?"  Vodka asked Gin.

"That magician looks suspicious, also that Black Knight.  He reminded me someone familiar,"  said Gin.  "they might be coming for Princess Ran."

"Let me help you."  A woman with long, curly blond hair, dressing in black robe appeared.

"Vermouth!"

*           *           *           *           *           *           *           *

            Next morning, Kaito, Shinichi and the Kaito Boys were all been to the marketplace to prepare for tonight magic show.  Takagi and Sato had gone near the castle, to spy on those men in black robes.

Kazuha was finally awake, she found herself sleeping in Heiji's arms.  'How embarrassing!' thought Kazuha.  Her face was blushing deeply. 

"You're awake."  Heiji was still holding Kazuha in his arms.

"Where is everyone?"  Kazuha asked Heiji while trying to leave Heiji's arms.

"They've gone to prepare for tonight mission.  We need to leave for the Kingdom of the West now.  We need to seek help from Queen Eri."

*           *           *           *           *           *           *           *

            "Ladies and Gentlemen.  It's Showtime."  Kaito announced to everyone inside the castle.  "my majesty, could I  borrow your magic mirror for the magic show?"

"Of course you can, bring it to him, Vodka."  King Kogoro ordered Vodka to bring the mirror for Kaito.

Kaito then perform a series of magic tricks with the help of Kaito boys, he then used the mirror and made the Black knight disappeared in front of the audience.

*           *           *           *           *           *           *           *

            "Wow!  The tricks of Kaito really work."  Prince Shinichi was only metres away the East Tower.  He quickly went to the direction where Ran was, he met Makoto there.

"Go and save the Princess now!"  said Makoto.  "but be careful, there're more guard up there."

"Thank you."

            Prince Shinichi immediately ran up to the top of the tower to find Ran, he knock down all the guards outside Ran's room.   When he finally entered her room, Ran was sleeping soundly in her bed.  There was also a blond-hair woman in the room.

"It's too late!  She'd eaten my poison apple and she would never wake up again.  Silly girl!  She thought that her dream would come true after biting the apple."  That woman was Vermouth, and Prince Shinichi immediately attacked her with his sword but she still managed to escape. 

"Ran!  Wake up!"  Prince Shinichi felt  so sorry that he kissed Ran on her lips, and then he embraced her tightly in his arms.  "Sorry, Ran.  I couldn't save you."

Princess Ran suddenly woke up and found out Shinichi was holding her tightly, "Shinichi!  I know that you'll come for me!"

"Ran!  Are you okay?  Sorry for waiting so long."  Shinichi held Ran more tightly, afraid that she might be disappeared. 

There was a moment of silence, "Shinichi, are you crying?"  asked Ran.

"when she told me that you'll never wake up, I'm so afraid.  The idea of losing you forever frighten me."

"Shinichi!" 

*           *           *           *           *           *           *           *

            Kaito used his magic tricks to make Gin and Vodka disappeared.  Takagi and Sato came just in time to catch Vermouth also.  Heiji and Kazuha also arrived Mouri Kingdom with Queen Eri. 

"Where're we, Brother?"  Vodka asked Gin.

"who knows?"  Gin answered coldly.  Vermouth was also with them.

"You're in the dungeon of the Castle."  A familiar voice replied.  It was Sherry.  "Take this."  She forced each of them to take a mysterious capsule.  They all turned into kids.  "it was APTX 4869!"  said Gin in a childish voice. 

*           *           *           *           *           *           *           *

            "Today, we announce the marriage between Prince Shinichi and Princess Ran!  They'll be our future King and Queen for Mouri Kingdom and the Kingdom of the West.  Congratulation to them!"  announced by Takagi. 

"Congratulations!  Princess Ran!"  Sato and Kazuha said.

"Thank you!"  said Ran.

"Don't ever try to make her worry again."  Kazuha told Shinichi.

"I swear I'll not let her worry anymore!"   

Prince Shinichi and Princess Ran lived happily ever after.
