Chapter 2: The Arcade

Conan and everyone else, except for Genta who was already at the arcade, walked along the sidewalks as they neared the arcade.

"Ok, who is up for some games?", Conan said.

Everyone smiled as Conan said that.

"I guess that means you are buying food and games right Conan?", Ayumi said.

Ayumi was so happy she really didn't know what she had just said.

"Umm well, I don't know.", Conan said.

Before Conan finished what he was saying everyone rushed off before he could say he wasn't.

Everyone eventually made it to the arcade and they couldn't have come at a worse time. There was a teenager of about 17 holding a knife to a boy by his waist next to one of the game machines.

"Everybody back off. If you managers of this store don't get my quarter back that this machine stole I am going to kill this little boy.", said the Psycho.

The boy that was being held wasn't able to say anything being that he was so scared. At first sight when Conan and the gang walked in it looked like it was going to be a murder but all it turned out to be what a psycho with a knife. Conan flipped a very small switch on his shoes and looked around to find a VR helmet from a game lying on the floor by him.

"It's not perfectly round but it will do.", Conan whispered.

Conan kicked the VR helmet as hard as he could so he could make sure the wires ripped from the game machine, which they did, and it went flying right at the psycho's head. No one even noticed that Conan had kicked the helmet. All they really saw was the man hit the floor with the helmet beside him and the VR game machine blowing up. Conan walked off quietly so he wouldn't be blamed.

"I guess there are some consequences to things like that sometimes.", Conan whispered.

Soon after the police came and took away the still unconscious psycho and everyone including the boy that was held hostage were back to normal playing games and having fun. Conan saw Ayumi and Genta run off to play games but Mitsuhiko stood by Conan. Mitsuhiko looked right at Conan with a weird stare.

"Umm, Mitsuhiko why are you looking at me like that?", Conan said with a curious tone.

Mitsuhiko laughed.

"Conan lets go over here, I have to tell you something.", Mitsuhiko said with a tone of nervous in his voice.

Conan knew it was safe to go around with Mitsuhiko so he agreed. Both Mitsuhiko and Conan walked into the far corners of the Arcade where all the broken down game machines were. It was like a maze of them and was very hard to get out of. Mitsuhiko stopped at one of the machines and looked seriously at Conan.

"Listen Conan, I saw what you did earlier. I saw how you took that game helmet and kicked it right from the machine and hit that guy in the head.", Mitsuhiko said very seriously.

Conan was shocked that Mitsuhiko was able to even see that and tried thinking of an excuse but he couldn't. Mitsuhiko continued.

Mitsuhiko continued. "Now that I think about it we are always saved by something mysterious coming out of no where. That was also you wasn't it?"

Conan kept thinking of an excuse but for some reason this time he couldn't.

"I don't really know what it is about you Conan Edogawa, but I like it.", Mitsuhiko said.

Mitsuhiko moved his hand over to Conan's cheek and just let his hand glide his creek down to Conan's chest then stopped. Conan didn't know what to say. He just stood there stiff as ice. Mitsuhiko ran off and then Conan started to move again. He didn't know what had just happened but he went back to his friends and acted like nothing happened even though he worried what really did happen back there.

Soon it got dark and the arcade was beginning to close shop so Conan and the gang had to leave but they were all going to spend the night at an abandoned mansion, which used to be Conan's mansion before he was changed into his childhood form. Everyone started walking when Conan's cell phone started to ring coming from his pocket. Conan pulled out the phone and heard Genta's mother's voice.

"Conan I am sorry, I knew that you all wanted to stay in that mansion tonight but Genta has to go to the dentist tomorrow.", said Genta's Mother.

Conan sighed and agreed while hanging up with Genta's mom.

"Aww man I hate going to the dentist. I was hoping she would have forgotten. Oh well see you all tomorrow. You better tell me what happens Conan or I will pound you.", said Genta angrily.

Conan laughed at how Genta never changed when his phone rang again. This time it was Ayumi's mom on the line. Ayumi had to go home because she didn't clean her room and she was grounded for not doing it. Just like Genta, Ayumi walked off unhappily wishing she had actually cleaned her room or her mother would have forgotten.

After all those little scenes the only ones left to go to the mansion were Mitsuhiko and Conan. This worried Conan a bit with what had happened earlier but he followed along with Mitsuhiko not saying anything. Soon after the two came to the giant gates of the mansion that they were spending the night in.

"Well I guess we better go in Mitsuhiko.", Conan spoke with large amounts of curiosity and worry about what would happen.

Mitsuhiko laughed and agreed.
