File 2. Revival
"Shinichi wakes up finally," said Yukiko, "Nagase-sensee, is my son okay?"
"He's fine," said Nagase, "but he's suffering from amnesia."
"You mean he's forgotten us?" asked Yukiko.
"Don't worry. It's just temporary," said Nagase.
"When will he recover?" said Yusaku.
"I can't tell you right now," said Nagase, "some patient can recover within a month, while some need to wait for years. So please prepare for it."
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Kudo! Do you remember who am I?" asked Heiji.
"You're Hattori!" said Shinichi, "and you're a famous detective from Osaka."
"You finally remember everything," Heiji was too happy that Shinichi got his memories back, "then you should remember her." He was pointing his finger to Ran. There was a sign of sadness on Ran's face, she had been waiting for Shinichi so long, and he was finally here but yet so far away from her now.
"Wait! I didn't remember anything," said Shinichi, "I know you're Hattori because you've your name tag on your clothes, and you're speaking kansai-kan. Moreover, you've been talking with the police officers. They're quite relieved after talking with you, so you must be helping them."
"Wow! You're still a good detective even you're suffering from amnesia," said Heiji.
"Of course he's different with you," said Kazuha. "you're a complete aho! I'm Toyama Kazuha."
"You must be his girlfriend!"
Upon hearing Shinichi's words, both Heiji and Kazuha blushed slightly, "Aho! What're you saying?" protested Heiji, "let's go back to our topic. There's someone you can't forget, someone that has been waiting for you a long time."
"Huh?"
"Mouri Ran, don't you remember? She's your girl.." Heiji's words were cut off by Ran's sudden attack on his back.
"My girl? What?" Shinichi looked confusing about the situation.
"I'm Ran, and I'm just your friends and classmates since childhood, that's all," said Ran. "Don't worry about it. Take some rest." She then forced both Heiji and Kazuha out of the room.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Ran-chan, why don't you tell the truth?" Kazuha was quite mad about Shinichi, "how can he forget about you? You should tell him about your relationship with him."
"Kazuha-chan, stay calm. I've told him already."
"You didn't tell him that you're actually his girlfriend!"
"Shinichi must be very confusing right now, I don't want to put too much pressure on him. He must be feeling alone now," said Ran, a drop of tear escaped from the corner of her eyes. "We must be his friends and give him support. Just like we can start our relation." She wiped the tear off her face and forced a smile on her face.
"Ran-chan." Kazuha was worried about her friend, but she could not find any words of comfort for her.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Daijyoobu, Ran-chan," Yukiko was comforting Ran, "we've talked with Nagase-sensee, and he said that Shinichi would recover soon."
"We've decided to bring Shinichi back to the U.S," said Yusaku. "We'll go back next week, and we can look after Shinichi also. Moreover, the medical facilities are better there."
Although Ran did not want to be separated with Shinichi, she thought that this might be a better choice for him to stay with his parents, "yes, that's better for Shinichi." She agreed with Yusaku.
"Let's tell Shinichi now!" said Yukiko.

One week later
Ran had come to the Kudo's house; today Shinichi would go to the U.S with his parents, Ran was wondering when she could see Shinichi again. The Shinichi that remembered who she was….
She had chosen not to see the Kudo's departure, she thought that it was too much for her to see Shinichi left, she decided to her a walk around and then she found that the Kudo's house was right in front of her.
"Eh? The gate's opened. Yukiko-san was too careless to leave it open," Ran decided to go inside to see if the door was locked. The door was not locked and Ran opened it. The house was the same as she came last time, but there were no one here any more.
"What're you doing here?" There was a voice suddenly entered Ran's ears.
"Wow!" Ran was so afraid that she immediately used her karate to attack the direction where the voice came from.
"Ouch! You almost kill me!" It was Shinichi, and he barely escaped Ran lethal attack.
"Shinichi!" Ran was surprised to see Shinichi here, "aren't you going to the U.S today with your parents? Why are you here?"
"I've decided to stay here, so I went out this morning to buy some food and then find a suspicious girl inside my house."
"A suspicious
girl? Me? How can you say that to me?"
said Ran. "It's because you left the gate open, you're so careless." Ran was so happy to find out that Shinichi
had decided to stay here, she noticed that Shinichi was staring at her. "Are there something on my face?"
"No, it's because I can finally see you smiling happily from the bottom of your heart. When I'm staying at the hospital, you looked sad. Although you're smiling, they're not real."
"Shinichi, why do you choose to stay here?" Ran wanted to change the topic now, she did not want Shinichi knew that he was the source of her sadness.
"I've a feeling that there's something important here, so I choose to stay. Okaasan has already told Dr. Agasa and Haibara to look after me," said Shinichi. "it's so good that you're hear, can you help me to clean the house. It's a bit too large to clean it by myself."
"Okay, it's better to call Sonoko to help also," said Ran. "do you remember who she is?"
"Yes, that girl with light-brown hair who came to visit me at the hospital, your best friend."

To be continued…
That's it for this chapter. Ran had decided to start a new relation with Shinichi, the reason for Shinichi to stay here?? More coming up next --- Sonoko brings a present for Shinichi?? Is it a key to his memories??
(Btw cheerlin wrote about it's a bit too fast for Shinichi to blush when Ran hugged him, I think that's just a normal response for a guy to be hold by a beautiful girls suddenly…o)
