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 she's hard to write). Constructive criticism is welcomed. This is Shinichi/Shiho Conan/Ai so if you don't like it tough. :P

Review Responses:

Spede: You're right it was just a light quick kiss so no rushing them, thanks for taking time to R&R

Hannah-asakura: I love Shinichi/Shiho stories too (Why else would I right one), thanks for the Review

Anime-obsession260: I hope you like this chapter too

Santana: Glad you like it, and yeah I've seen better (But I try hard to get better especially in Conversations and Thought)

Disclaimer: I don't own Detective Conan/Case Closed; if you think I do own it you are a very stupid person with an I.Q. of 1 Now on to another kind of long chapter (Not much at the beginning, but a light dose of angst at the end)

Ch 3: The Calm Before The Storm

Shinichi glanced at his watch, '5:35, I better go faster I'm going to be late,' with that thought Shinichi started to sprint faster. 'Shiho sure looked shocked after I kissed her; I hope I didn't ruin our chances at a real friendship.' That thought was quickly pushed as side as Kaito, Heiji, and the other members of their platoon came into view.

"Oi Heiji, Shinichi's gonna be late." Said Kaito

"Geez, of all the days he could be late he why did he have to pick today," said Heiji with hint of annoyance. As if in response they heard Shinichi call out "Oi Heiji, Kaito! Sorry I'm late, my talk with Shiho to longer than expected."

"That's ok Shinichi you're right on time." As if to back up Kaito's statement their CO Lieutenant Berg stood up and got everyone's attention.

"Today you will all partake in the downfall of the biggest crime organization the world has ever seen, you will all go down in the history books as the best of the best and although some will receive more recognition than others in my eyes you are all equal.," the Lt.'s speech was answered by cheers and waves of helmets, "you already know your squad members and your Squad commanders will be with you shortly, so now I will tell you our plan of attack, You will be divided into two sections Alpha, and Bravo each with five eight man squads, I will command Alpha and SergeantFirst Class Delmont will command Bravo, we will circle around to attack the north of the town while the main force distracts the enemy by attacking from the south, Bravo teams job will be to storm the two hangars and tower at the tiny airstrip near the main compound while Alpha team and the 20 man sniper/machinegun team provide covering fire, Alpha will then advance up the slope to the main compound, got it so far?" asked the Lt "Sir Yes Sir!" "Good, next Alpha 3 will advance into the compound and find the enemy's main computer and download as much as they can get, they will then retreat to the airstrip and go back to camp, now get your weapons and meet your CO, Oh yeah the leaders at the United Nations, and around the world wish you good luck and god speed, Dismissed!"

Shinichi, Heiji, and Kaito walked over to the supply trucks and grabbed their standard issue M4 assault rifles (can be switched between full and semi-auto) with six magazines of thirty .375 caliber rounds each, two magazines of seven .45 cal rounds for their pistol, and two M2 fragmentation grenades each and then returned to their squads staging point.

'Wow I feel almost invincible packing this much firepower.' Thought Shinichi, 'I never would of thought I would carry anything bigger than a pistol,' was Heiji's thought. 'I vowed to not to kill anyone and here I have enough weapons to take out Nakamori's Kid Task force four times over, not that I would ever want to.' Kaito smirked 'I wonder how scared Hakuba and Nakamori would be if the Kid shows up packing serious firepower?' Kaito snickered at his own thoughts. Shinichi having overhead Kaito's snickering raised an eyebrow and asked "What are you laughing at Kaito?" "Oh I'm just thinking how scared Nakamori would be if the Kid showed up at a heist with an assault rifle." "Don't even think about it Kai..." His response was cut short as their CO addressed his squad.

"I'm Sergeant Ramirez the CO in charge of squad Alpha 3, your squad; the commander already briefed you so you know what to do, I only have three things to say to you. First, NO friendly fire; Second, NO heroics everyone comes back; lastly, listen to my orders, everyone got that?" "Sir Yes Sir!" "Good you have 5 minutes before we move out so make any last minute adjustments to your rifle scope and uniforms."

Shinichi having finished adjusting his gear lay on his back and stared blankly deep in thought, 'Shiho do you think of me as more than an just an friend or ally…'

Heiji finished adjusting his helmet strap and turned is gaze to Shinichi 'Hey what's got Kudo thinking, maybe something happened when he talked to Shiho earlier, I'll ask him…' "Hey Shinichi you never told us what happened when you talked to Shiho." "Oh yeah," Shinichi smiled and his eyes glazed over as he remembered the taste of Shiho's lips 'Cinnamon and Vanilla,' "She said that she would come live with me in New York." Heiji than took notice of the small smile forming on Shinichi's face and his eyes glazing over, "The look on your face tells me more than that happened, come on Kudo do tell all." Shinichi blushed "Yeah Shinichi, tell us what happened." It seemed Kaito had decided to take part in their conversation. 'Stupid face you betrayed me,' "I kissed her," Whispered Shinichi. "What'd you say Kudo, why you whispering?" "I said I kissed her," he said it loud enough for them to hear, Kaito just stared in disbelief, stood up straight and walked away. Heiji sat there in shock until his brilliant yet slightly slow brain could process the information, then a huge smile crossed his face as he slapped a furiously blushing Shinichi on the back, "Kudo you dog looks like your in love again." Shinichi' smile faded from his face "Correction Hattori, I never really loved Ran and if I did it was most likely either guilty or pity love seeing her crying over me every night." After that statement Kaito who had seemingly recovered from his shock came over with an evil smile on his face, but before he could say anything to embarrass Shinichi the Sergeant called out "Grab you gear it's time to move out!"

Shinichi stood up made sure he had everything and followed after Kaito, and Heiji. "Shinichi!" a voice called out. Shinichi stopped for a second but didn't hear any thing else 'Stupid brain playing tricks on me' so he kept on walking until he heard it again "Shinichi!!" There was no mistaking it this time someone was calling his name. 'I know someone called me but can't tell who.' "Shinichi, Heiji, Kaito!" called out the voice again 'But why did the voice call Heiji and Kaito too, wait there was more than one voice' apparently the rest of the squad heard because they all stopped too.

Shinichi turned around to see who was calling them, he was surprised when he looked at the approaching faces of not only his parents but also Heiji's parents, Kazuha, Aoko, and Kaito's mom. Once Heiji and Kaito stopped and turned around Kazuha and Aoko broke out in to a sprint and ran up to hug them. He heard them make Heiji and Kaito promise to comeback safe. 'Bakas you can't promise that.' "Shinichi!" another voice called 'Ok that sounded like Shiho's voice.' Apparently everyone else heard the voice because they stopped what they were doing and turned around.

Shinichi saw a figure burst thru the line of 'That's Shiho!' "Shiho why are you here?!" She didn't respond she just kept running towards him so he dropped his stuff and opened his arms to receive her.

Shiho hit him at full speed causing him to fall on his back, but what really shocked him is that Shiho was hugging him and tightly too, so he hugged her back, when she finally looked at his face once again he was shocked because she was on the verge of tears, and she never cried. "Shiho what's wrong?" "Nothing, nothing at all Shinichi" she said in a very quiet and happy tone as she stopped hugging him to let them stand up, 'Ok she's not mad,' "Shiho why are you here?" asked Shinichi "I'm here because I want you to promise me to comeback safe," The words Shiho said caused Shinichi to mentally flinch, his parents having been close enough to hear them said "We're here for the same reason." Said Yukiko Shinichi's mother and again Shinichi mentally flinched.

He dipped his head low so his bangs hid his eyes and said "I won't," Shiho and Shinichi's parents were puzzled "Why not?" they asked "Yeah why not?" It seemed that everyone hade taken interest in his conversation, "I won't, I can't because I don't want to make promises I might not be able to keep, I've already told enough lies for more than one lifetime and I need to stop." Heiji, Kaito, Shiho, Aoko, and the Kudos know what he means, but the Hattoris and Kaito's mother were puzzled "What do you mean Shinichi?" they asked. Shinichi raised his head to show eyes that were full emotions; regret, sadness, angst, and deeper down you would find Hatred, pure hatred towards the ones who ruined four years of his life. "Ask your sons," was his simple response. Shinichi then removed one of is two I.D. (dog) tags that was hanging around his neck and held it up to Shiho's face "I can't promise you that I will come back, but I can promise you that I will try to make it back," with that he drop the dog tag into to Shiho's waiting hands "now if you'll excuse us," he motioned to Kaito and Heiji, "we need to get back to our mission." With that Shinichi grabbed his gear, turned around and walked towards his squad with Kaito and Heiji trailing him and giving apologetic looks to everyone. Shiho stood there with tears gathering in her eyes 'Please comeback safe Shinichi…'

I cut this chapter into three parts (It was 3,000 words and I wasn't even 1/2 done) the next 2 parts will be up the next 4 days (maybe less)

Ugh this chapter was a little weak; Ok remember reviews are loved (Especially constructive criticism).

And about the Quote Corner thing I decided to add a quote (funny or serious) at the beginning of every chapter from now on.
