Black and White Cat napping!

Satoshi and Sakura exited the room and saw the chaos all around them.

Conan was the first one to stop. He asked, "Uh, Satoshi, how did you get Takeru to give up that quickly?"

Kogoro and Ran both ceased and asked the same question. "We were wondering that too. How did you do it?"

Satoshi said, "I am a pacifist. I do not wish to hurt anybody. I knew Takeru was a kind and honest person. And with my brain, I reasoned with him by telling that story, and saying that revenge wasn't the answer. He knew that it was true, and so, he gave up without a fight." Then, he grinned evilly, "I am not as forgiving to true criminals."

All three nodded. Ran replied, "So I see."

Then she snickered, "Both of those stories were true, weren't they, you two?"

Both Sakura and Satoshi blushed. Satoshi replied, "Maybe."

Ran's face looked innocent, while hiding an evil grin. She said, "I was hoping that you would confess your secret crush, Satoshi Yuki Ishikawa, but it would seem your days of hiding are over."

Then, Sakura's mind snapped. She realized how true that story he told Takeru actually was. She inquired, "What are you hiding, Satoshi?"

Satoshi, in his mind, he knew, he was trapped as a rat in a cage. But he remained poker faced no matter how bad it seemed. He said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Ran held up an issue of Detectives Monthly magazine and a letter. Satoshi stammered, while looking at the letter, "You… You aren't supposed to have that!"

Ran grinned evilly, "Well, after Sakura got this letter, she immediately gave this to me."

That's when Satoshi sighed, "Oh, crap."

Ran said, "'Oh, crap' indeed. After I was given the letter, I dusted off the letter for fingerprints. I also analyzed the sentence structure and the signature of the letter and your hand written essay in history class. And, amazingly, they both match." She said that as if she was a female version of Shinichi Kudo herself. She flipped through the publication till she saw an article written by Satoshi himself.

She continued, "The signature's sentence structure and its curvature of the top of the article match that of the signature of the letter. Satoshi Ishikawa, you are Sakura chan's SECRET ADMIRER, are you NOT?"

Faced with the incredible measure of data that Ran had compiled, Satoshi thought, 'Damn, she is good.' Satoshi had no choice but to surrender. He sighed, "I give up. Your evidence is amazing. How did you know?"

Ran smiled, "As one cute Tokyo based detective once said, 'If you have a keen eye for detail, one truth will always prevail.'"

Sakura smiled, "You don't need to bust Satoshi. I already knew. That's why I cried, because when I read that letter, I knew, in my heart, he confessed his feelings for me in the only way he knew how at the time."

Satoshi blushed again, "Aw, shucks,"

Then, he looked at his watch. He said, "We have a lot of time left. Hey, Sakura. How 'bout a strawberry smoothie? My treat, of course."

Sakura's eyes widened. She smiled, "I'd love to."

Ran and Conan sang, "They're going out on a date,"

Satoshi snickered, "Yeah, so what? It's not like you're planning on asking Shinichi out anyway."

That's when Ran looked like one of her veins was about to pop. She snarled, "As a matter of fact, I WAS!"

That's when Sakura and Satoshi ran while holding hands with Sakura and Ran was chasing them like bat out of hell.

Conan said, "Things are never going to be the same ever again."

Kogoro sighed, "I agree, Conan, I most definitely agree."

The Next day…

Somehow, in some insane and enigmatic way, Conan got his Elementary school teacher to get both Satoshi and Sakura to be guest speakers.

While on their way, Sakura and Satoshi were both reading the newest issue of Detectives Monthly. "Hey, look! Conan's on the cover!" Sakura said.

Satoshi was reading the cover article. "The Next Great Detective Group: The Detective Boys." He said, "Hey… We're going to be their guest speakers!"

Sakura said, "According to the article, they say that these guys are good as the Sherlock Trio."

Satoshi snickered, "With a guy like Mr. Edogawa leading them, who wouldn't be?"

That got an adorable giggle out of Sakura.

When they got here, Satoshi looked at his watch. "They should be arriving right about…." The two detectives saw Conan and the gang. "Now." He said.

That's when Mitsuhiko looked at the duo standing near their school. He looked shocked. He stammered, "That… That's… That's Satoshi Ishikawa…"

Ayumi looked at the similarly dressed girl. She squealed, "Is that Sakura Takenouchi?"

Conan said, "Told ya I knew them, Ayumi chan."

All of the gang except for Conan, who was walking nonchalantly to the duo, ran towards them.

Satoshi looked at the tall kid with the freckles. He asked, "You're Mitsuhiko, right?"

Mitsuhiko looked shocked, but nodded. "Yeah, I'm Mitsuhiko, all right."

Satoshi inquired, "Are you the same Mitsuhiko that sent me the letter, and ending it with 'Your # 1 fan'?"

That's when he really looked surprised. He said coolly, "I expected no less from the Detective of the North. You are the GREATEST!"

That's when Satoshi smiled, "I'm not that great. Besides, I haven't been working on hot cases for a long time."

Mitsuhiko said, "Then maybe, we'll have to find hot cases for you to solve!"

Ayumi asked, "Sakura chan, how hard do your cases get?"

Sakura said, "Some cases take a few seconds, minutes, hours, some even take days and weeks, and months, and one case actually took years to solve!"

Satoshi pondered, "Now what case takes years to solve?"

Sakura pointed at Satoshi and stated, "You."

At the school, Satoshi and Sakura were talking to the kids when one kid raised his hand. Satoshi said, "Yeah, Tai?"

Tai said, "It's not really much of a question, but more of a case, really. Somebody cat napped my black and white kittens!"

Sakura, having grown up with Hello Kitty most of her life, and being a cat lover herself, had never heard a crime so despicable as cat napping. She snarled, "All right. That's it. No one will abduct a kitty ever again! Not while I'm here!"

Satoshi put a hand behind his head and said, "Now Sakura… This is not the time to be over acting."

Sakura said, "Come on, Satoshi kun, we're solving this case. And you're coming along too." And with that, she dragged Satoshi out of the classroom.

Satoshi yelled, "Conan! HELP ME!"

Conan sighed, "Come on, gang. After school, we've got a cat napping to bust!"

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko screamed, "YES! WE'RE GOING TO HELP OUR HEROES!"

Genta was quiet until now. He sighed, "Excuse me. But I know a better detective than both of them, you know."

Both of them glared at Genta. "Oh," they said, "who would that be?"

Genta confidently said, "Shinichi Kudo, the Detective of the East."

Ayumi taunted, "Oh yeah, does he carry a sword?"

Genta said, "No. But he's a soccer ace."

Mitsuhiko snorted, "Ha! Can he run faster than Satoshi?"

Genta stated, "Yes."

The trio engaged in an argument over which detective was better. Conan thought, 'If I ever make it out of this… Kami sama HELP ME!'

While at the scene of the crime, Satoshi and Sakura found suspicious footprints and while Sakura was looking through the house, Satoshi went to the backyard and found a piece of catnip on the ground. He yelled, "Sakura, over here!"

Sakura said, "What have you found, Satoshi?"

Satoshi stated, "A piece of catnip."

Sakura asked, "What does catnip have to do with the case?"

Satoshi stated, "Simple. Whoever catnapped Tai's kittens, must've known that cats are seriously susceptible to catnip!"

Sakura snarled, "So we're dealing with an animal expert…"

Satoshi's eyebrows narrowed, "Or, a scumbag who knows about cats."

Sonic Angel: Oh YEAH! This case is heating UP!
Sakura: When I find out who that creep is…
SA: Next Cold Case Blues hint! ' A Cap'
Satoshi: (Wonders) Okay, this case is getting weird. Now… What does a cap have to do with this case?
Conan: Good question.
