Chapter 19
"Love Birds?!
"What---who-how---where---" asked Aoko, she couldnt decide which question she was going to ask first.
"Where is Shinichi? What happened to Kaito?" asked Ran.
"They-they thought you girls were captured by John and Alice, so they had to find Pandora in order to free you two, Kaito was attacked by Alice, we think-who is this little girl?!" asked Shiho, looking down at the little blond hair girl.
Rosey stood quietly at the corner, confused and afraid, she looked at Kaito with fear in her eyes. She has never seen blood before----
"she-she is Lady Norferk and Sir Norferk`s child." Replied Ran, she bent down and gently hugged Rosey.
"So she is the-----No-she is Johns child." Corrected Aoko.
"What?!"
"We will explain later, how did you get out?" asked Shiho to Kazuha.
"Rosey led us out, she`s been hiding in the mansion all her life. There are loads of secret tunnels and rooms in the mansion!"
"What shall we do now?" asked Ran.
"Get the hell out of here." Said Shiho.
"Get Kaito some help!" said Aoko
"Get Hattori and Shinichi and Hakuba out!" said Kazuha.
The girls looked at each other, there was just too many things in their minds now.
They all went quiet and was still trying to calm themselves down.
"Right, this is what we are going to do." Said Shiho finally.
"We need to let Hakuba them lot know you two are safely with us. Then we need to get Kaito some help. We also need to contact the police."
"We need to split up." Said Ran.
"What!" said Aoko and Kazuha at the same time. "We just got together!"
"I know, but this is our only option---or we could just sit here and wait for them to come back." Suggested Shiho.
Silence.
"O-Hell-No." Concluded Ran. "We are NOT going to sit here and waiting to be rescue by the boys-it is them who need our helps now. We have to split up."
"I am staying with Kaito." Said Aoko. "I will try to get him out of the hotel."
"Then I am going to find Shinichi them lot. Who is coming with me?" said Ran.
"I will" answered Kazuha. "Where did they go?"
"To the library----- be careful, I have a bad feeling about this." Said Shiho. "But again, this place gives me the bad feeling from the start"
"How about Rosey?" asked Kazuha. "She is coming with us, isnt it?"
Ran nodded. "She might know some short cuts that can get us out of here. Come on Rosey, lets go and find the boys."
"Boys?" asked Rosey, blinking her eyes.
"I will stay with Aoko then." said Shiho. "The storm is dying down, I can try to contact the police with my mobile phone."
"Right-lets go then." announced Ran.
Ran and Kazuha opened the door and went into the dark to search for the boys. Little do they know what was awaiting them.
***************************************************************
Under the ground of the mansion, the boys were walking in the long and errie tunnels. It was wet and cold, and not to mention the darkness that wrapped around them.
"This place is like a maze." Said Hakuba. "How many right turns did we make?"
"About---15?" replied Heiji. "anyway, all we did was taking right turns, we wont get lost that easily."
"That is because we are walking around in a circle!" shouted Shinichi suddenly with annoyance.
He pointed his flash lights on the wall, and there was a scratched mark on the damp and muddy wall.
"I made that mark on the wall 10 minutes ago----this is not good."
"So--- what do we do now?" asked Richard.
"There must be some more clues in the song and the codes------the next word is E1---which is the sentence----" muttered Heiji, he took out the paper and looked again.
Heijis voice trailed off into silence.
"Well?" asked Hakuba.
Heiji sighed and replied with some annoyance "There is no way out of this place."
"Trust you to be negative and miserable, Heiji." Smirked Shinichi.
"You baka, it is what it says on the paper!"
"No way out of this place?!" asked Richard, he seemed to be afraid.
"its just trying to scare us, we must be missing something in between------think carefully-------"
The four boy then frowned and puts their hand on their chin, the typical detective pose for "I am thinking really hard, so dont distract me."
They could hear the water dripping, running down the cold walls, their breathing, the errie emptiness around them.
"------ any body heard anything?" asked Richard suddenly, he looked down at the long tunnel and felt a sudden chill ran through his spin.
The sound of foot steps, echoing between the cold wall, crept closer and closer to them.
"-----someone is coming!" whispered Hakuba. "turn off your flash lights!"
Quickly, they turned off the lights and stood against the wall. The tunnel was about 4 meters wide, so if they are lucky and glue themselves to the wall as close and possible, who ever it was might just walk pass them.
They held their breath, and listened, waited.
Closer and closer, some dark shadows of figures appeared at the end of the tunnel.
The boys held their breaths and looked. They were all ready to pounce on the figures if necessary. Every single nerve were screwed so tight in their body, it was as if any sudden movement will make them snap.
Suddenly, the figures stoop just a few yards away from them.
"Er----do you know exactly where we are heading?" a voice asked.
"Yes. When I was a little, I got lost in here so many times, Uncle Norferk had to search for me and take me back to my room!" another voice replied with some childish accent.
"I dont like this place! Why not just call for them?" A third voice appeared.
"No! Shiho said John and Alice might be near, if we call them, they might attack us!"
"Oh------so we just have to keep on looking for them----Heiji is such a idiot! If only I can get my hands on him-----"
"So you can tell him how much you miss him?" the other voice laughed softly.
"Yeah!--I mean, NO!"
The boys looked at each other (even though it was impossible to see each others faces in the dark), and within the thirtieth of a second, Heiji and Shinichi both jumped forward and ran towards the figures. Before they could open their mouths and shout out their names, came the shrilling SSSSSCREAS from the girls.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Before Shinichi could do anything, he felt a kick in the stomach, and he felt flat onto the ground
Heiji felt someone grabbed his arm and before he could say anything, a back flip thrown him on the ground and caused some serious pain.
"Owww~~~~" the boys moaned.
Ran was about to kick the Shinichi on the ground when Rosey pointed her flashlight at the poor guy on the floor.
"What---you----Shinichi!" Ran cried, after recognizing the figure that suddenly jumped out in the dark and *tried* to attack her.
"Heiji!! What are you doing here!----Oh my god, are you all right!!!" cried Kazuha, she was still in shock, but it was such a relief to see him again.
Hakuba and Richard quickly show themselves behind the boys. After making sure they wont be attack again.
"Are you two okay?!" asked Hakuba to Ran and Kazuha. (while trying not to burst out laughing)
"Trust me, they are fine." Moaned Heiji, while Kazuha helped him up to his feet
"Anyone who could do a back flip like that is fine by me"
"I am so sorry-you shouldnt have jump out like that!" said Kazuha
"I shouldnt-what?!" roared Heiji.
"Shinichi---I'm sorry! Are you okay? I---" asked Ran anxiously, she felt so bad.
Shinichi just looked at her. "I was worrying sick for you, and the first thing you do is to kick me in the stomach?"
"I-"
"I am glad, that means you are not hurt." Smiled Shinichi, he held Rans arms and looked at her with a care. But then the smiled disappeared on his face when he saw Rans forehead.
"You got blood on your head-what happened! What did they do to you?!" asked Shinichi, all mad and worried.
"I`m fine, really. Shinichi, lets just-"
"How dare they do this to you! I am going to get them-"
"Shinichi-"
"I am going to make them pay-"
Finally, Ran decided the only way to calm Shinichi down was by a kiss.
She gently grabbed Shinichis head and sealed his lips with hers.
Shinichi finally shuts up and he held Ran tightly in his arm.
Everyone went quiet, Richard and Hakuba raised their eyebrows by several inches, and Kazuha automatically covered Rosey`s eyes with her hand. Heiji opened his mouth, but couldnt decide what to say.
"I-am-fine." Smiled Ran, finally. "Lets just get out of here, please?"
"---er-o, okay--." Agreed Shinichi.
"Ok---ay---lets just hope that wont happen too often." Said Hakuba with a grin on his face.
"What do you mean by that!" asked Shinichi, face red.
"Lets just get out of here-who are you?" asked Heiji, he finally noticed the little girl.
Richard stepped forward and saw the little girl. He looked at Rosey with a disbelieve expression on his face.
"Richard-----this is Rosey. Your half sister." Said Kazuha, "Rosey, this is Richard. He is your half brother."
"My----brother?" asked Rosey quietly. She stepped back and she didnt like the look on Richards face.
Richard opened his mouth, but he didnt know what to say. All sort of emotions came rushing down him. Anger, hatred, pain, sadness were all flooding into his brain.
"Richard-----its not her fault." reminded Hakuba quietly beside him.
Everyone was worried. They thought Richard was going to lash out on the little girl.
Finally, Richard took a deep breath, there were tears in his eyes.
He looked at Rosey, and stepped forward. His expression was a mixture of grieve and anger.
He bent down and looked at Rosey`s little face.
Rosey looked at Richard, she was afraid, but she stood still and let Richard held her face.
There was a few seconds of silence.
"-----you look exactly like our mother, Rosey." Said Richard softly, he smiled, he almost choked while tears running down his face.
"Dont worry, I will take care of you----oh god----I have a little sister!!" then Richard held Rosey tightly into his embrace.
Rosey cried, she had never felt so safe in her life before. For once, she knew for sure she will never be along again.
Hakuba smiled with relief, Ran and Kazuha had tears running down their faces. Shinichi and Heiji both smiled, even though they have about tones of questions they wanted to ask to the girls.
********************************************************************
"Rosey will lead us out, just follow her. She know this place inside out." Said Ran, looking at Richard holding the little girls hand. She couldnt feel more happy for Rosey.
"Come on Heiji, Shiho and Aoko are still waiting for us." Hurried Kazuha to her best friend.
"Heiji?!" she asked again, then she saw the look on Heiji`s face.
It wasnt just him, Shinichi and Hakuba both had that look.
"------what's wrong?" asked Kazuha, even though deep down she knew what was wrong.
"-------I am not leaving this place yet, I want to find the diamond." Answered Heiji carefully.
"I am staying too, after we found the diamond, we will come out immediately." Added Hakuba.
"------I-" before Shinichi could say anything, Ran grabbed him by his wrist.
"Shut up Shinichi, we are leaving, I dont care about some stupid diamond! We are leaving, Heiji, Hakuba, dont even argue, unless you want me to practice karate on you!!" command Ran.
Kazuha smiled, she saw the look on the boys face, but she knew, so does Ran, that the boys didnt care about the diamond either.
"---its not about the diamond, we dont want it. It belongs to Richards family." Explained Hakuba
"We are not going to give up after all those searching---well, I am not anyway. You two can leave." Said him, looking at Heiji and Kudou.
"I am not leaving, Ran, even if you are going to practice your karate on me." Said Heiji. He then stepped away from Ran, as if Ran will really suddenly kick his head off his neck.
Ran stood there, she looked frustrated.
"How about Kaito? He needs our help! We cant get out of here with out you guys! Shinichi~~!"
"Heiji! Are you mad? How are you going to get out of here?!" asked Kazuha.
Shinichi hesitated, he wanted to get out of here, to be honest, he already gave up his `detective appetite`
ever since Ran and him are engaged. Unlike Heiji and Hakuba, the only reason they wanted to stay is because they are detectives, and they couldn't resist their curiosity.
But he have a commitment, to Ran. He cant just go around places and get him or Ran into danger.
(unlike before)
But-----diamond Pandora. If it was any other diamond, he might tell Heiji and Hakuba to give up too. Pandora----the diamond that KID was so desperately searching for. Or, KAITO was so desperately searching for.
Now Kaito is injured, and this might be the one and only chance to find the diamond, to find out why Kaito`s father was killed------to stop KID from stealing----and he is the only person who could do this for Kaito, after all, KID did saved his life before-------------
"Ran----go, dont worry, we will be fine." Said Shinichi finally.
Ran opened her mouth with disbelieve, but she saw the look in Shinici`s blue eyes. Determined, and full of `I am sorry, but this time I am not going to leave, no matter what.` expression.
"-------I hate you." Muttered Ran finally. "Come back in one piece."
"What are you looking for?" asked Rosey suddenly, everyone looked at her.
"A diamond---or some sort of secret door. Hey, do you know any doors or rooms in those tunnels?" asked Hakuba hopefully.
"-----yeah, there are loads of rooms!" replied Roesy. "About 50 or more."
"----50?----lllb"
"Well----is there one of the room that are different to others? Like, strange shape or doors or----lines on the wall?" asked Hakuba, not giving up.
Rosey thought hard for a while, and suddenly a light came into her eyes.
"----- there is this one little room, with strange writings on the wall, Uncle Norferk used to tell me :When you grow older, I will tell you what to do with those writings. Now is not the time."
"Where is that room!!!" asked the boys at the same time, excited.
"Down this tunnel, make two right turns and one left turn." Replied Rosey.
"Clever little girl you are!" said Richard, impressed but how logical Rosey was for her age.
Rsoey smiled sweetly with satisfaction.
"Well, what are we waiting for, lets go." Said Heiji, he is very short of patient and already heading down the tunnel, walking straight passed Shinichi. He was still angry with him, even though the girls are back safe. Shinichi gave him an angry glare.
"---Heiji!" said Kazuha suddenly, she walked up to him and asked
"do you have the lucky charm with you?"
"Yeah, I have. You just go back and take care of yourself, okay?"
"--------" Kazuha wanted to say some more, but she didnt know what to say, she looked down at her feet for a few seconds, and finally made up her mind.
Picked up all her courage, she lifted her feet and kissed Heiji on his cheek.
Heiji just stood here(almost dropped the flashlight in his hand), and even in such a little light source, everyone could see how red his face was.
"Im sorry I thrown you onto the ground----I------I will be waiting for you." Kazuha whispered, and quickly turned away, pushing passed Shinichi and Hakuba with her face blushing.
"------er----okay----" answered Heiji, wide eyes and mouth opened.
Ran giggled and said something to Kazuha that made her face even redder.
"Richard, its up to you now to take care of the girls, get out of the mansion if you can. Be careful of Alice and John, okay? We still dont know where they are." Said Hakuba to his best friend.
Richard nodded, and he looked at Hakuba with appreciation.
"Saguru-----thank you---for everything, Im sorry that I-"
Hakuba put up his hand and smiled. "Dont mention it, we will talk later when this is over."
Richard nodded and said to Rosey : "Come on, lets go."
Ran gave Shinichi another goodbye kiss on the cheek, and told Hakuba to take care of Heiji and Kudou.
Kazuha waved a little goodbye to Heiji, both of them smiled at each other.
The girls then starting to make their way back to the mansion, with Richard and Rosey leading.
"Well, come on then, Lovebirds." Said Hakuba finally, waited till the girls disappeared from their views.
He grinned at the two boys behind him.
"What did you say!?!" shouted Kudou and Heiji at the same time.
Hakuba just laughed and starting to run down the long tunnels
"We dont have time to waste! Hurry up!!" he shouted.
Heiji and Shinichi just had to follow him and ran as fast as they could.
"Lovebirds?" thought Heiji while running "-----------Kazuha and I? Well----"
He smiled.

My first fic summer camp is completed! (whoohoo!!), plz go and have a read, and leave some comments! =^0^= thank you!
Okay, now lets get this fic over and done with------(Catz typing furiously on her keyboard)
"Love Birds?!
"What---who-how---where---" asked Aoko, she couldnt decide which question she was going to ask first.
"Where is Shinichi? What happened to Kaito?" asked Ran.
"They-they thought you girls were captured by John and Alice, so they had to find Pandora in order to free you two, Kaito was attacked by Alice, we think-who is this little girl?!" asked Shiho, looking down at the little blond hair girl.
Rosey stood quietly at the corner, confused and afraid, she looked at Kaito with fear in her eyes. She has never seen blood before----

"So she is the-----No-she is Johns child." Corrected Aoko.
"What?!"
"We will explain later, how did you get out?" asked Shiho to Kazuha.
"Rosey led us out, she`s been hiding in the mansion all her life. There are loads of secret tunnels and rooms in the mansion!"
"What shall we do now?" asked Ran.
"Get the hell out of here." Said Shiho.
"Get Kaito some help!" said Aoko
"Get Hattori and Shinichi and Hakuba out!" said Kazuha.
The girls looked at each other, there was just too many things in their minds now.
They all went quiet and was still trying to calm themselves down.
"Right, this is what we are going to do." Said Shiho finally.
"We need to let Hakuba them lot know you two are safely with us. Then we need to get Kaito some help. We also need to contact the police."
"We need to split up." Said Ran.

"I know, but this is our only option---or we could just sit here and wait for them to come back." Suggested Shiho.
Silence.
"O-Hell-No." Concluded Ran. "We are NOT going to sit here and waiting to be rescue by the boys-it is them who need our helps now. We have to split up."
"I am staying with Kaito." Said Aoko. "I will try to get him out of the hotel."
"Then I am going to find Shinichi them lot. Who is coming with me?" said Ran.
"I will" answered Kazuha. "Where did they go?"
"To the library----- be careful, I have a bad feeling about this." Said Shiho. "But again, this place gives me the bad feeling from the start"
"How about Rosey?" asked Kazuha. "She is coming with us, isnt it?"
Ran nodded. "She might know some short cuts that can get us out of here. Come on Rosey, lets go and find the boys."
"Boys?" asked Rosey, blinking her eyes.
"I will stay with Aoko then." said Shiho. "The storm is dying down, I can try to contact the police with my mobile phone."
"Right-lets go then." announced Ran.
Ran and Kazuha opened the door and went into the dark to search for the boys. Little do they know what was awaiting them.

"I made that mark on the wall 10 minutes ago----this is not good."
"So--- what do we do now?" asked Richard.
"There must be some more clues in the song and the codes------the next word is E1---which is the sentence----" muttered Heiji, he took out the paper and looked again.
Heijis voice trailed off into silence.
"Well?" asked Hakuba.
Heiji sighed and replied with some annoyance "There is no way out of this place."
"Trust you to be negative and miserable, Heiji." Smirked Shinichi.

"Yeah, I have. You just go back and take care of yourself, okay?"
"--------" Kazuha wanted to say some more, but she didnt know what to say, she looked down at her feet for a few seconds, and finally made up her mind.
Picked up all her courage, she lifted her feet and kissed Heiji on his cheek.
Heiji just stood here(almost dropped the flashlight in his hand), and even in such a little light source, everyone could see how red his face was.
"Im sorry I thrown you onto the ground----I------I will be waiting for you." Kazuha whispered, and quickly turned away, pushing passed Shinichi and Hakuba with her face blushing.
"------er----okay----" answered Heiji, wide eyes and mouth opened.
Ran giggled and said something to Kazuha that made her face even redder.
"Richard, its up to you now to take care of the girls, get out of the mansion if you can. Be careful of Alice and John, okay? We still dont know where they are." Said Hakuba to his best friend.
Richard nodded, and he looked at Hakuba with appreciation.
"Saguru-----thank you---for everything, Im sorry that I-"
Hakuba put up his hand and smiled. "Dont mention it, we will talk later when this is over."
Richard nodded and said to Rosey : "Come on, lets go."
Ran gave Shinichi another goodbye kiss on the cheek, and told Hakuba to take care of Heiji and Kudou.
Kazuha waved a little goodbye to Heiji, both of them smiled at each other.
The girls then starting to make their way back to the mansion, with Richard and Rosey leading.
"Well, come on then, Lovebirds." Said Hakuba finally, waited till the girls disappeared from their views.
He grinned at the two boys behind him.
"What did you say!?!" shouted Kudou and Heiji at the same time.
Hakuba just laughed and starting to run down the long tunnels
"We dont have time to waste! Hurry up!!" he shouted.
Heiji and Shinichi just had to follow him and ran as fast as they could.
"Lovebirds?" thought Heiji while running "-----------Kazuha and I? Well----"
He smiled.
