Chapter 6: Dealing with Haibara

Princess Sango

(Still walking...)

Conan looked around; something in the air didn't feel right. He felt someone's eyes on his back. "Rachel, do you have the feeling someone is watching us?"

Cali looked up at him, "Yeah, but I just shrugged it off. Conan, you felt it too? Could they have found us? Found us out?" Cali looked serious.

Conan took hold of her hand, "Chill Cali, it just means we have to be more cautious of what we do from now on."

Cali squeezed his hand somewhat hard, "Conan, I don't like this feeling. When will we be safe enough to the point that we will be able to talk? Like our you-know-what selves?" Cali nuzzled closer to him.

Conan grasped her hands tighter, "We'll get to the bottom of this Cali. We just can't go to your home anymore for now."

Cali looked up at him, "Where will we go Conan? We have no where else to go!"

"You forgot Dr. Agasa, Cali, he'll keep us there. Now let's tip toe back into your house, take the things we need and scram." They continued walking and came upon the building. Conan and Cali ran up the stairs and they silently opened the door to find someone standing there.

The figure was small, with dirty blonde hair. She stood there and stared at the two people. "Conan Edogawa and Cali Edogawa, finally we meet."

Conan looked at her shocked, "Who are you?" Cali looked at the girl and tried to figure out who she was.

"W-who are you?"

She smiled and stood taller than them, "Now, now, don't question your elders. I'll tell you when I'm good and ready, now grab your stuff and we shall go for another walk, yes?"

Conan grabbed Cali's hand, "Just do as she says Cali. Remember that we're the same age as she is, now let's just do as she says." Conan and Cali crept into the room they shared and threw some stuff in their bags. Conan grabbed the gadgets while Cali grabbed some things that she claimed would be useful to them. As they crept back out and closed the door they sighed.

The blonde observed them. "Now, let's go somewhere where we can talk without anyone over hearing us shall we?" She started walking out of the building and Conan and Cali followed her. They didn't speak other than Rachel's whimper and Conan's occasional condolences to her. When they came to an abandoned parking lot the girl turned around.

"Hi, I'm Haibara Ai. Don't be scared, I had to scare you to come here. Hi Jimmy, Rachel, I'm one of the victims also. The victim to my own drug, unlike you guys."

Cali and Conan looked up at her, "You created the drug?"

Haibara nodded, "Yes I did, and I tried to kill myself with it. I've lived with the organization before this and when I wanted it out I tried to kill myself with it. To make a long story short, I'm here right now because of that drug."

"They think you're dead now because I changed your status on the computer. You can come back some-what care free if I ever find a cure. I know you want your real body back, for sure."

Conan nodded and Cali looked at her, "You'll find a cure? For us?"

Haibara looked at her, "Might as well, I ran away and I want to at least right something from my own wrong."

Cali nodded, "We can't return to my dad's though, which means we'll have to stay at Dr. Agasa's for now."

Conan grabbed Cali's hand, "Do you have a place to stay?"

Haibara shook her head, "No, I figured I'd live somewhere, like a hotel."

Conan walked up to her and grabbed her hand, "Then come with us, Dr. Agasa is a scientist. He could give you all you need to find a cure."

Haibara nodded and Conan grabbed her hand, "We'll go now. I'm afraid if we stay out too late someone will want explanations." They started off towards Dr. Agasa's.

Somewhere in the dark...

"Yeah it seems our dear Haibara didn't die either. She shrunk just like them."

He waited for the response, "Keep tabs still? Okay but I wonder how long it will take before we move in on them. I could've taken them out already!" He sighed, "Oh alright, I'll talk to you later." He continued to walk away and follow the three.

Conan opened the door to find Dr. Agasa asleep. "I'll find a place for tonight. He'll be in for a surprise for sure." Conan started to creep into another room. "We'll share this one for tonight. Tomorrow we'll just go to school and work this out after it. I still have to deal with George, and we have to enroll other people into school. Also we have to take Amy and Mitch's files out by telling their parents to."

Conan sighed and stopped, "I'll think about this tomorrow. For now let's get some rest." Conan took the futons out of the closet and set them out. "Okay take which ever futon you want."

Haibara took the one on the left but Cali stood there, "Conan, onegai?" Conan nodded to her and pointed to the futon that he was going to take. Conan lay down and Cali flopped down next to him. They were already in their pajamas and blankets were all spread out.

Conan hesitantly wrapped his arms around her waist. He noticed her tense then relaxed and snuggled up to him. "Conan, aisheteru." He was about to answer but then he heard her even breathing and just pulled her closer before falling asleep.
