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

"Shinichi" Speech

'Shinichi' Thoughts

This take place (Mostly) in the United States, also Ran, Kaito, Heiji, and Aoko know Shinichi and Shiho's secret and Shinichi, Shiho, Heiji, and Aoko know Kaito's secret (He's dating Aoko and is still the Kaitou Kid) also Shiho has yet to met Shinichi's parents.

Review Responses:

Fanfic lover: Yup serious fire power (I was gonna give them a Rocket Launcher but decided not to, and you've probably noticed I'm obsessed with guns)

Hannah-asakura: Of course she does but Shinichi's not the sharpest crayon in the box when it comes to relationship

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 Ok this is part two of the last chapter (A lot of guns, action, gore, and of course dead people)

Ch 4: Thru the Gates of Hell

Shinichi, Heiji, and Kaito rejoined their squad and continued towards the rally point. Once there the machinegun crews and snipers set up a small defensive area, while the Platoon CO set up a radio.

The two Japanese detectives and our favorite Phantom Thief look from the edge of the trees towards the airstrip there, was at least 60 yards of tall grass separating the two areas. Kaito spoke first, "So, we have to run across that?" "Yup," Said Shinichi. "This is suicide, if they see us it's gonna be hell." Mumbled Kaito "Yeah, and then after our cover is blown we have to run up all 200 yards of that hill and across a 25 foot wide driveway with out getting shot," Said Heiji "you're right Kaito, this is suicide." "Shut it guys this has to be done," Said Shinichi as they moved back towards the squad.

No sooner than they joined their squad did their CO get a message on his 2-way helmet radio, "Yes Sir," Sergeant Ramirez looked at his squad, they all gave him a nod "Yes they're ready, ok moving out." Again he looked at his squad "Move to the edge of the tall grass but no further." With that command they ran out of the forest and to the edge of the tall grass. Once there the Lt. motioned for them to crouch down, he then whispered "You will not fire until your receive orders over your headset ok?" He received nods of understanding, "Good."

Each member of this operation brains ran heavy with thought, some of remembrance of fallen comrades, nervousness, some scared for themselves and their comrades, and for others hatred towards their foes, but they all shared one common emotion; anticipation, for the final order, the point of no return, the leap of faith, for the veterans this was just another operation a normal work day, but for the greenhorns(1) (like our young heroes) this would be their baptism of fire, where they would be thrown from their comfortable black views of combat thru the gates of hell to the terrible world that is real combat. They could all hear the crackle of gunfire coming from the town, their trigger fingers twitching, legs poised to jump up at a moments notice, finally after what seemed to be an eternity the order came, "Fire!"

It must have been quite the surprise to any Black operative who happened to be looking in that certain direction to see 80 people bathed in the twilight jump up out of the tall grass, of course that surprise would only last for a moment when the sound of gunfire and dropping bodies brought them back to a hellish reality.

Kaito, Shinichi, and Heiji jumped up at the command and began to provide suppression fire for their allies; over their headsets the heard the yelling of commands over the crackle of gunfire it was almost overwhelming but they managed to hold out

After emptying two whole clips of bullets they received the order to advance to the other side of the airstrip, the charged across gunning down any enemy that crossed their path and helping any allies that were pinned down by gunfire, they soon reached their destination and fanned out to make sure no enemy reinforcements came down the hill.

After a few intense minutes a voice came over the radio "Hangars and tower secured, Alpha team advance up the slope and enter the compound, Go!" Again the air was filled with the sound of gunfire and flying lead, except this time the fire wasn't one sided the BO though still surprised and out numbered they managed to fight back. 'This reminds me of a World War Two bayonet charge (2),' thought Shinichi as he filled a Black Operative with lead.

At last they reached the top of the hill and charged across the driveway and hide behind the bushes, one of the men stood up and threw a grenade at the door, it hit the porch and blew up knocking down the door. Then Heiji stood up and threw another grenade this on thru the door to clear their path, after it exploded they stormed thru the door and cut down any BO member unlucky enough to be caught in their path, they ran up the stairs to the second floor and began knocking down doors.

After five tries they found what the were looking for the Black Organization's mainframe, Shinichi began to hack thru the security systems with ease and after he found what he was looking for began to download everything to the portable hard drives he was provided with, it took a few minutes but he got everything he needed well everything but the APTX-4869 data, after a few more seconds he found it and took out the CD provide by Shiho and began to download it.

"Come on Kudo we haven't got all day!" Shouted SGT. Ramirez as he cut down a Black Operative that charge up the stairs "Just a second more!" responded Shinichi 'Come on…75…80…85…90…95…100,' He grabbed CD and stuck it into his shirt pocket and gave the hard drives to the Sergeant "I'm done let's go!"

They ran out the door and Shinichi took his two grenades, took out the pins and threw them into the room, they exploded destroying the computers. Shinichi ran to his squad at the bottom of the stairs and followed them out the door. When they reached the outside the other squads were encountering heavy fire. After making it across the concrete they encountered heavier fire, 'Damn we'll never be able to get by' thought Shinichi 'Wait that's it,' "Sergeant, me, Kaito, and Heiji will give you cover fire while you run to the airport," "Ok" Go on the count of three, 1…2…3…COVERING FIRE!!" Shinichi unleashed his gunfire in the general direction of the enemy and Kaito and Heiji threw grenades while the squad ran of towards the airstrip.

After the enemy was disposed of our three heroes ran down the path to the airstrip dodging rocks ruts and trees, "Go, hurry up their right behind us!" yelled Shinichi who was the farthest behind. Just then a figure jumped into their path and started to fire on them hit Shinichi in the right leg, Shinichi screamed out in pain as he felt the red hot lead pierce thru his flesh and dropped to the ground, Heiji quickly disposed of the enemy while Kaito ran to his fallen friend, "Go, go on with out me," said Shinichi, "No come on Kudo you can make it," "No I'll just slow you down!" Shinichi then reached into his shirt pocket and took out the CD "Here give this to Shiho it has the APTX-4869 data." By now they had Shinichi propped up against a boulder facing the compound "No Shinichi I won't leave you here." Shinichi leveled his rifle at them and said, "Go damn it, I'll just slow you down and we'll all be shot, now go." Kaito and Heiji were about to protest but the sharp glare their friend was giving cut them off; they looked at each other reluctantly, then Heiji put a hand on Shinichi's shoulder "Good luck Kudo." "Thanks Hattori, now go I'll see you later." They ran off leaving Shinichi leaning against the rock.

Kaito and Heiji reached the airstrip to find that their squad was waiting, "Where's Kudo?" Asked Sergeant Ramirez "He got hit and he told us to go on with out him." Said Kaito in an even tone with his poker face on "Damn." Said the Sergeant, "Too late to do anything about that, the main force will find him when they reach the compound, now come on we need to get the wounded back to camp." Kaito and Heiji barely suppressed the urge to hit the Sergeant for talking about their best friend in such a casual manner. They then escorted the wounded back to camp.

Shinichi had been resting against the rock for a while when he caught sight of a squad of Black Operatives, he raised his rifle and switched it to semi-auto and leaved the scope, and pulled the trigger, a bullet tore thru the air with pinpoint accuracy killing a Black Operative. This sent the other enemies into a mad dash for cover, but unfortunately for them there was none.

Shinichi fired another bullet and another one fell, 'This one's for ruining four years of my life.'

Another bullet left the barrel, 'This one's for Akemi.'

Yet another bullet flew thru the air killing its target, 'That's for Shiho.'

Another one drops, 'That's for Kaito's dad.'

Another dropped, 'That's for everyone that's died trying to stop you.'

The BO had started to return fire but Shinichi just kept on firing, 'That's for everyone you've murdered.'

Another fell they were and down to two left, 'That's for all the families you've torn apart.'

Another dropped dead, 'That's for making me miss the world cup, TWO YEARS IN A ROW!'

The last one dropped dead, 'That one was for the hell of it!'

At last they were all gone; Shinichi reloaded his rifle when he spotted another squad 'More bastards ready to be killed.' Shinichi switched his M4 back to full auto, and leveled his sights on the closest one, 'Bye bastards.' Shinichi let out a torrent of bullets killing two black operatives; he had expected the enemy to go into panic, but they stayed disciplined and look in the direction the fire came from, found him and started to return fire and this time it was more accurate, but Shinichi stayed calm and continued firing his rifle. After downing three more operatives Shinichi took a hit, he yelled out in pain as the bullet tore thru the flesh at his left shoulder causing him to drop his rifle, he knew he couldn't fire a rifle with one arm so he grabbed his pistol and started to fire killing one operative with a bullet, he killed another two leaving only one left he had him dead in his sight and started to pull back the trigger…Click… 'Oh crap' Shinichi realized he was out of ammo, he searched for another clip and heard foot steps coming closer, he finally found one but… BAM! Shinichi felt another burning sensation as another bullet tore thru his left shoulder again; he then saw a figure before him.

The figure kicked Shinichi in the stomach and then grabbed him by his neck and said, "We meet Mr. Detective." Just then Shinichi realized the figure had long blond hair, 'Gin.' Gin punched Shinichi in the stomach and slammed his head against a boulder causing his head to bleed, Gin then dropped Shinichi and pulled out his pistol, "Good bye Kudo Shinichi Great Detective of the East." BAM! Strangely Shinichi did not feel the impact of a bullet, but instead was surprised as Gin fell over blood pooling around his head, "Hey Dan we got a man down over here." Shinichi saw a figure kneel down in front of him and a voice say, "Don't worry man, we'll get you back to base," before his vision faded to the comforting pain free black of unconsciousness.

Heiji and Kaito were thinking about their lost friend and how to break the news to everyone especially the Kudos and Shiho. They almost froze as said people came into the view.

Shiho and everyone else were overjoyed as the saw Kaito and Heiji come over the hill. But wait where's Shinichi? Shiho had a sinking feeling in her stomach.

Kaito and Heiji walked over to the group and received hugs from their parents and girlfriends, then Shiho asked the dreaded question "Where's Shinichi guys?" Heiji looked at the ground and Kaito slipped on his poker face "He didn't make." Shiho felt her world collapse around her "What do you mean he didn't make it?" "He got hit we were under fire and he told us to leave him behind, there is o way he could be alive there were too many of them." Shiho heard Mrs. Kudo cry and felt tears sting her eyes "No…" she whispered and started to cry "He can't be… he can't be dead" she fell to her knees and started to full-fledge sob, everyone was crying now even Kaito with his unbreakable poker face felt tears form behind his eyes as he hugged Aoko. They went on crying like that for a few minutes until they heard some men yelling "We got another wounded," "How bad another person yelled back?" "Three bullet wounds; one in his leg and two in his left shoulder, he also had his head slammed against a rock." responded the first voice "What's his name?" "Shinichi Kudo." That got everyone's attention; they all ran towards voices to see them place an unconscious and badly bleeding Shinichi on a stretcher and carrying him into the medical tent, "Shinichi!" They all yelled and ran towards him only to be stopped by a pair of orderlies "You know him?" one asked "Yes." They all said. "I'm sorry but you'll have to wait a while," Said the other one.

They all waited for over an hour until the doctor came out "Are Mr. and Mrs. Kudo here?" said people raised their hands, "Good, I need to talk to you in private please." They walked into the tent to leave the others to wonder what they are talking about. After what felt like a thousand years but in reality was only five minutes the Kudos came out and were bombarded by questions of Shinichi's wellbeing "Well there's good and bad news, but I'll tell you the good news first, Shinichi will be fine after resting a while, however the bad news is that the bullets tore some ligaments in his shoulder so he won't be able to move that for a while and the same goes for his right leg so he'll be using crutches for a while, oh and Shiho I want to talk to you." "O-ok" they walked to the other side of the tent "Ok Shiho while I was in the tent talking to the doctor my son kept calling out your name," Shiho blushed "so I'm thinking he'll want to see you when he wakes up so could you stay with him until he wakes up, we'll bring you food." "Ok" said Shiho as she turned to go inside "Oh and Shiho." She stopped "Yes?" "From what I saw earlier you and Shinichi seem quite fond of each other what exactly are your intentions toward my son?" Shiho turned beet red and stammered out a reply. "Well just friends." She then turned around and walked into the tent 'If those two are just friends I'll eat my husband's novel.' thought Yukiko.

Once inside the tent Shiho realized she still had Shinichi's notebook 'He told me that if he made it back to give it back to him.' So she put the notebook beside Shinichi's head and looked at his resting form and smiled 'Wow he sure looks peaceful when he sleep, almost childlike.' Just then Kaito came in "Hey Miyano, Shinichi gave me the Aptoxin data, so I'm giving it to you and don't feel like you have to start working know you van wait till he's awake." With that he tossed he the CD and Shiho set it on the nightstand by Shinichi's bed and pulled up a chair and laid her head next to Shinichi's and fell into a blissful dreamless sleep.

Wow told you that would be a long one (almost 3,000 words) and this is only part 2 of three (The next one will be shorter and most likely out Friday (No promises), This so should have been up on Monday night but Sunday I had writers block, I had homework and test to study for on Monday and once I started to type it just kept getting bigger until it became this monster in front of you. (Stupid writers block)

Ok what happened to my reviewers I only got two.

I'm listening to Behind Blue Eyes by Limp Bizkit, Boulevard of Broken Dreams (Remix) by Green Day, Welcome to My Life by Simple Plan, Me Against the World also by Simple Plan, and The Last Song by All-American Rejects because they remind me of Detective Conan (Still have no clue why though).

1. Greenhorns: Generic term for newbie soldiers that have no real live combat experience

2. Bayonet charge: bayonets were long knife like objects that could be attached to the ends of some rifles, thus a bayonet charge is where soldiers fix bayonets on their weapons and charge the enemy position; generally used as a last resort they were common before World War Two and contributed to the large casualty rate in the first world war, the last American bayonet charge was on June 6th 1944 when a company of 101st Airborne troops were pinned down by the Germans in a small town south of Utah beach it was a success, mean while the Japanese often issued bayonet charges right up to the end of the war (They failed 99 percentof the time and wasted valuable human lives).
