I do not own Detective Conan or any of the characters associated with it. They belong to the only one who kills himself on the cover of each MEITANTEI KONAN manga, Aoyama-Sensei.

A small girl with short brown hair sat at the screen of a computer. She looked hardly old enough to read properly, but the data on the screen in front of her was enough to give most adults a headache.

She was really an ex member of a murderous gang and created poisons for such uses. Now a fugitive from that same gang, she took one of her own poisons in a suicide attempt. Instead of dying she was transformed into a childlike version of herself. Codename: Sherry, alias: Ai Haibara, birth name: Shiho Ayano, now a primary school student, trying to find the cure to the poison Apoptoxin 4869.

Only one other had ever survived the poison. Former High school Detective Shinichi Kudo, who also transformed into a six year old, Conan Edogawa. He now lives to try and bring down the 'men in black' who changes his form and his life.

Ai stopped typing , her eyes opened wide at what she read on the screen. She gave a haphazard smile. Could work. She said to herself.

Conan Edogawa stared up at his small hands as he reached for the door handle. He stood on tip-toes, cursing the body his carelessness had caused him.

"Oi Haibara, why don't you get your doorhandle lowered? I can hardly reach it!" He asked Ai

"You'll have to grow." She said coldly. Conan's face tinged, he knew that he would be vertically challenged for a long time as he had been the first time.

"I won't need to if you find a permanent cure!"

"I'd like to talk to you about that." Ai said simply. Conan gave a start. "I've found a possible cure. It will multiply your cells for a short period of time, reversing the effects of Apoptoxin 4869. Care to give it a try?"

Conan took the pill offered to him and swallowed it with a glass of water. Ten minutes later he felt, as he had whenever he changed forms, a searing pain through his chest. It soon became so unbearable he struggled to remain consciousness, then blacked out. Ai sat by his side, patting his feverish head with a wet cloth.

Something wasn't right!

Conan wasn't growing. Instead, his skin began bubbling and his body started jerking violently.

"Kudo------kun-----!!!!" Ai screamed.

Professor Agasa burst into the room and Ai ran towards him, crying hysterically. The professor took one look at Conan's now severely mutated form and all the colour drained from his face. Unsure what to do, he swept Ai from the room and shut the door.

Conan woke slowly; every portion of his body seemed to ache.

"A-re?" Came a voice beside him. An exact replica of himself, covered in shredded clothing was sitting within a centimetre of him. He looked at his own body, it too was covered by scraps of clothes.

"A-re?" He echoed, as the twin Conan's stared at each other.

I hope you enjoyed this first chapter. I know the whole dividing into two people is a little far-fetched scientifically but so is shrinking XD
