~Epiloque~
Of course the Detective Boys went to Osaka. They managed to solve the case which turned out to be harder and more ensnared than it seemed at the first look, but they managed to solve this one too. Like the many others that followed.
Ran and Shinichi went to visit Heiji and Kazuha, since they were in Osaka anyways. Kazuha had been so shocked, not sure if it had been indeed Ran.
The two had to explain them everything.
In turn, Kazuha and Heiji had to tell the other couple what was now going on with them.
Like he had intended, Heiji had confessed his love for her after the big show down and she had returned his feelings. Nevertheless, their behaviour had barly changed which was very amusing to watch for Shinichi and Ran.
They had argued and had teased each other the whole time like they always have, but afterwards he would gently take her hand and look lovingly at her. She would blush and smile at him shyly, their fight already long forgotten.
Shinichi would look at the smiling Ran and her gaze told him something like
'I`ve known it anyways' and he would nod and take her hand.
The next day they all went back home, happy about the solved case. Many many cases followed, and many mysteries and problems, but together they overcome everything. Because they had each other.
The years passed, the cases passed, the Detective Boys grew and slowly everthing changed.
Ai had left for the US where she began to study again. She barly contacts her former friends but there are rumours that she joined the FBI.
Genta became a famous cook and married Ayumi. The are happily married, share a big house and have two little children. A girl and a boy.
Mitsuhiko had become a great photographist and is wanted and famous all over the country. He had married a nice girl who he has three little kids with.
Kogoro recovered from his injuries and he and Eri married again. Today they live very happy together in Eri`s house. Korogo had turned into a good husband at least (with a little help from his wife).
Sonoko had moved into a huge villa in the USA together with Makoto where she, soon after, married him. She had become his manager as long as Makoto fought tournaments. After his career, he opened a Karate school together with Sonoko. They have a little girl together.
Sonoko had taken the news about Ran`s turning easy, since she always knew her best friends feelings for the detective and that Ran will definitly be with him together! Today Ran visits her sometimes and so does Sonoko. They are still very good friends.
Heiji became a great detective and worked together with Kazuha who worked the police department. Together they solved a great deal of mysteries and became famous as the invincible couple. They are still very happy together. Shinichi and Ran went to their wedding and a year later Kazuha gave birth to a beautiful son. Two sons and a girl followed over the following years.
Kaito did as he said and confessed his feeelings for Aoko. She had been more than happy and accepted his proposal. They married and after the wedding they made a world journey. In his free time Kaito plays the magician for little orphans and sick children. Sometimes he helps the police out. Soon after the world journey, he and Aoko were blessed with a beautiful daughter and a handsome boy.
As for Shinichi and Ran... those two moved in together as soon as it was possible. They had been still very very young but that never mattered to them. Very young Shinichi became famous as the smartest and youngest detective in history and he still solves a lot of cases. Ran was always by his side, giving him advice, hold and cheering him. Their love grew day by day.
They have still very good contacts with all their friends and went to all their weddings. In the young age such as 18, they finally made the step and got married, with their families and all their friends. It had been a great and huge ceremony and it had been as Ran had always dreamed of. Just perfect! With that all of her dreams came true.
Years after that, they are in love just like on the first day and their bliss got perfect, as Ran one mornings in bed as she was laying in his arms, lovingly told Shinichi that he was going to be a father. Overwhelmed with emotions he had taken her into his arms and kissed her gently. Laying a hand on her tummy he confessed his neverending love for her and thanked her for making all his dreams come true.
After their son, another son and two girl followed and blessed their little family with laugher and even more love. They are living happily in the huge mansion, which still stands in Tokyo.
One night, Shinichi and Ran were standing on the balcony, looking at the stars, the kids finally asleep. He had her tenderly in his arms from behind and she was laying her head comfortable on his solid chest.
He gently kissed her neck and she smiled.
"I love you Ran!" he whispered into her ear. "Even after over 30 years of being married, you are still the most beautiful sight I was ever allowed to lay my eyes on. You still make me the most happiest man alive!"
She closed her eyes and enjoys the feeling his words made her feel untill she whispered back with a slight grin.
"Will you still say that even after another 30 years? When I am old and ugly and full of wrinkles?"
He grinned.
"Yep!"
She pinched him lightly on his arm, laughing gently. Then she moved a hand up and lowered his face to hers, giving him a sweet and deep kiss.
"I love you too, Shinichi!" she whispered back after pulling away, looking into his kind eyes.
He felt her shudder a little at the cool breeze and drew her into his arm more tightly. They went back to watching the stars.
"Look!" he said suddenly, pointing a hand up at the sky. A shooting star was moving in between the other stars. "Make a wish!"
They closed their eyes.
"What did you wish?" he asked her after a while.
"Nothing. I am absolutly happy and content with my life as it is. I don`t need anything else."
He smiled at her and held her closer. Sometimes it was almost like as if she could read his thoughts. But then...hadn`t it always been like that?
"And you?" she asked him quietly, looking at the stars. It seemed like as if he wouldn`t answer anymore but then he finally did.
"The same!"
The words sunk in her mind and she smiled. He had again stolen her thoughts. He always did that and he always had.
"Oh Shinichi, is that the truth?" she turned and wound her arms around his neck. He had his own rested on her hips.
"There is always only one truth!"
She looked for a second deep into his eyes and drew his head down to hers again, gifting him with a tender kiss in which she put all her emotions in and he returned it equally, letting himself be absorbed in this one kiss, sighing contently.
'No, we really are happy they way everything is now. It`s just perfect!' both thought.
Of course the Detective Boys went to Osaka. They managed to solve the case which turned out to be harder and more ensnared than it seemed at the first look, but they managed to solve this one too. Like the many others that followed.
