A New Life

A/N: I will be using the real Japanese names

This is my first fic so characters will probably be a little OOC (Especially Shiho). Constructive criticism is welcomed. This is Shinichi/Shiho Conan/Ai so if you don't like it tough. :P

Ch 2: Nightmares and Conversations

Shinichi's Point of View

Kudo Shinichi woke up to the sound of his portable alarm clock, "Damn stupid alarm," Mumbled Shinichi as he turned it off 'Why did I set it for 4:30?' Shinichi's mind pondered its own question till some thing clicked "Oh Shit today's the day!" yelled Shinichi as he slipped on his camouflage pants. After putting on his bulletproof vest, camouflage shirt and belt he left his tent, but not before grabbing his notebook. 'I can't forget this'. Shinichi walked past the other tents and looked at his watch. '4:40, Good I still have 20 minutes till I'm supposed to meet Shiho' His hand fell back to his side where it came in contact with something cold. As if by reflex his fingers wrapped around the object and he held it up to eye level. Almost instantly he felt a pang of regret. 'I wonder if this is what a murder feels be for killing someone,' Shinichi quickly pushed those thought aside, 'No, no regrets, remember all the people they've killed and the lives they've ruined!' 'I only wished that less people would've got involved.' Shinichiput the Colt .45 semi-auto pistol back into its holster. 'Hey, I wonder if Kaito is still going to search for the Pandora gem after the Black Org. goes down, and when is Hattori going to tell Kazuha he loves her, he's pretty clueless for a Detective, I guess I'll ask them later.' After walking for couple more minutes Shinichi came to his meeting place, it was a nice clearing in the woods between the camp and the highway. Shinichi lay down on the grass and looked at still star filled sky the only light came from the camp. Soon Shinichi felt his eyes start to get heavy and before he could do any thing he fell asleep and started to dream.

Dream Sequence

Shinichi was running thru the streets of Beika.

He ran into a deserted building and up the stairs, but he didn't know why.

Well he didn't know why until he kicked down a door to a room and found Shiho tied to a chair, gagged.

"Shiho, what happened?!" He ran up to her an started to untie the ropes when her arms got free she took the gag out of her mouth

"Run Shinichi it's a trap!" Shiho yelled. "I don't care I'm going to get you out of here even if I die!" Shinichi yelled back. Shiho was going to tell him he was a fool for coming to rescue her but she stopped when she saw the determination in his eyes.

A single figure stepped out of the shadows. "Well Mr. Great Detective I can assure you that you will die but I don't know about Sherry escaping," Said the lone figure in an evil almost mocking tone that caused Shinichi and Shiho to freeze on the spot.

"Gin," Shinichi spat out venomously, "I knew it was you." He said as he rose to put him self between Shiho and Gin.

"Oh you did, and I thought you just loved to be the hero," said Gin as he raised his gun, "To bad you won't get another chance." With those words Gin pulled the trigger.

To Shinichi it all happened in slow motion, the bullet hit him square in the chest causing him to fall back into Shiho's arms. He opened his eyes for a brief second and saw Shiho holding him in her arms crying, out of the corner of his eye he saw Gin take aim at Shiho and say "Your turn Sherry you dirty traitor." He then pulled the trigger and Shinichi saw dark red blood blossom on Shiho's shirt. Shinichi's eyes filled with tears as he closed them.

"I'm sorry Shiho, I failed to protect you."

End Dream Sequence

Shiho's POV

I woke up refreshed from a long sleep and shut off my alarm. '4:30, good just enough time to get cleaned up and meet Kudo, I wonder why he wants to talk to me this early?' After getting dressed, and cleaning up she brushed her hair 'I'm glad I let my hair go past my shoulders looks better, I wish the men would stop hitting on me though, although I wouldn't have a problem if Kudo did, Huh were the heck did that come from?', she then adjusted her clothes. 'Dang bulletproof vest, you think they could make them more comfortable.' Shiho then looked at her clock, 'Shot, 4:57 that took longer than expected, oh well Kudo can wait.' With that she walked out of her tent in the direction of their meeting place.

Third Person POV

After a couple of minutes she made it to the clearing only to find nobody there. "I wonder where Kudo is," She said to herself. As if in response she heard mumbling from the shadows. Being a sensible person she took out the flashlight she brought with her and pointed the light into the shadows only to have the light shine on Shinichi's laying form. "Oh it's only you Kudo I wondered where you where." The only response she got was a light breeze. 'He must be asleep; I'll just wake him up.' Only when she got closer to Shinichi's sleeping form did she notice him shaking lightly, his eyebrows creased, and sweat running down his forehead. 'He must be having a nightmare.' "Oi, Kudo wake up your dreaming," the only response she got was an increase in Shinichi's unintelligible murmurs. She grabbed him by the shoulders and noticed he was starting to cry, 'This must be some nightmare to make Kudo cry,' "Come on Kudo wake up." Surprisingly the response she got was a whispered "I'm sorry Shiho, I failed to protect you." and more tears. 'What Kudo's dreaming about me and what does he mean by 'I'm sorry, I failed to protect you,' she started to shake him gently "Wake up Kudo you're just dreaming!"

Shinichi's POV

I started to feel some one shake me then I heard a voice say "Wake up Kudo you're just dreaming!" 'Wait a minute that's Shiho's voice, and what does she mean I'm dreaming?' 'Huh what's that light there and why is it getting bigger?'

Third person (Again sorry about the POV's)

Shiho kept shaking him until she felt his hand grab her wrist and saw his eyes open wide. "Huh, Shiho what are you doing here?" questioned Shinichi. "I was a little late and found you asleep and having a nightmare I shook you until you woke up." Was Shiho response, "Hey what did you mean by 'I'm sorry, I failed to protect you'?" Shinichi froze and blushed a little 'I said that out loud, good thing it's still pretty dark so she can't see me blush.' "Well Shiho you remember how I promised you I would protect you," she nodded her head, "well I dreamt that Gin kidnapped you and when I rescued you he shot us both." "Oh," was Shiho's lame response as she let go of Shinichi's shoulders to let him sit upright.

After an awkward silence Shinichi asked, "So you probably want to know why I asked you to get up early and meet me here right?"

"Yeah why did you ask me to come?" Shiho responded

"I wanted to ask if you want to come with me to New York City after this is over, you know to make a new life and leave bad memories behind, and I already bought a nice place so what do you say?" Said Shinichi thus answering Shiho's question with one of his own.

'Wow, Kudo's actually inviting me to live with him maybe I should start to call him by his first name.' Shinichi watched with interest as Shiho's face tightened with thought, 'Wow I never noticed how pretty she is especially with her hair long…hold on where did those thoughts come from?' Shinichi pushed those thoughts aside as it seemed Shiho had finally come to a decision. "Okay Shinichi I'll go with you to New York, but you have to take me to the mall and pay for all my clothes ok?"

'Wow Heiji was right she did say yes even if I do have to do something for her, wait rewind did she just call me Shinichi she usually calls me Kudo oh well.' "Great, and I wouldn't worry about me going broke over your clothes my parents gave me their credit card, Oh and Shiho why'd you call me Shinichi you usually call me Kudo?" Shinichi again finished his statement with a question.

"Well if I'm going to live with you I might at least call you by your first if that's ok with you." "Sure Shiho that's fine with me." "Ok is that all you need me for Shinichi?" "Hmm…what? Oh yeah take this but I'll tell you when to open it." With that he gave Shiho his notebook he'd brought with him. "Why are you giving me a notebook, what's in it?" "Hopefully you won't find out, only open that if I don't come back and let Kaito and Heiji read it with you, but if I do come back give it to me or burn it got that?" Shinichi finished that statement with tone so serious that Shiho could only sit their and nod her head.

"Good. Whoa it's already 5:30 I have to hurry and meet Kaito and Heiji so we can get our orders and weapons and find out who our commanding officer is so I'll hopefully see you later." Shiho saw a hesitant look on Shinichi's face as if he was about to do something drastic, the look left his face almost instantly as he ducked down to Shiho's face and before she knew what was happening he cupped her cheeks in his hand gave her a quick light kiss on the lips before pulling back with light blush on his cheeks to see the shocked look on Shiho's face, he then turned around and sprinted away. "See you later Shiho!" he yelled back.

Shiho just sat there in shock for a few moments with her fingers touching her lips 'Shinichi…'
