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 so if you don't like it tough.

"Shinichi" Speech

'Shinichi' Thoughts

(Shinichi) Reason (My good side)

(Shinichi) Mayhem (My bad side)

This take place (Mostly) in the United States, also everyone knows 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. Also this fic starts the third week of October.

Review Responses:

Black-zip: Thank you so much for reviewing this story. I'm a friend? I have a friend. :) (Who would have thought) Also I think that Heiji would support Shinichi no matter who he chooses, Ran or Shiho, but he would probably more keen towards Ran, and yes Kaitou Kid and Shinichi are rivals but I think Kaito and Shinichi can put petty rivalries (Even though they're stubborn as donkeys) aside temporarily for a greater good (they will go back to rivals later). You made my day friend, and I love your story.

Silver Sky Magician: Yup that was supposed to be a light hearted chapter. Glad you liked it.

jack5-adam: Thank you for the review (everyone read his stories).

First Silvera: Yeah they are terribly OOC but people like it. (I never was good at keeping characters in character anyway but I will try to improve) (EVERYONE read "ENCOUNTER in Venice")

Quotes from Kudo: What frustrates us and robs our lives of joy is the absence of meaning. Our lives go on day after day. They may be successful or unsuccessful, full of pleasure or full of worry. But do they mean anything? …Would our disappearance leave the world poorer or just less crowded-Rabbi Harold Kushner

Someone once told him that if humans were meant to fly, they would have been born with wings. But he sees this as an obstacle to be overcome, not a dictum of nature. Humans were born without language or art or differential calculus, after all, but still spent their lives working towards understanding and beauty and dy-over-dx. So he spends his life working towards the sky. -Author Unknown

Ch 6: Confessions and Traveling

After getting over their blushing episode Shinichi and Shiho ate in peaceful silence. After they were done Shiho cleaned up and asked, "Shinichi, do you want me to stay with you tonight?" "Thanks Shiho but you should sleep in your tent, you're gonna get stiff joints if you sleep in the chair tonight," Shinichi thought he saw a faint flicker of disappointment in her eyes "or you could sleep in my bed." Shiho and Shinichi were blushing as red as a ripe tomato but Shinichi continued talking "NEXT to each other not with each other," Explained Shinichi waving his hands in front of him in defense , Shiho nodded still blushing, "Sure just let me get us some proper pajamas." With that she walked out of the tent. 'I can't believe I asked her to sleep in the same bed as me,' Shinichi thought, 'and see even agreed, wow.' Shiho was walking back with the clothes; she was dressed in an oversized tee-shirt and a pair of dark blue sweatpants or to be more specific one of Shinichi's sweatpants. 'I can't believe Shinichi asked me to sleep in the same bed as him, and that he had lent me some of his sweatpants.' (Shiho hadn't packed enough pajama pants for the trip so Shinichi let her borrow some of his sweatpants.) In Shiho's arm were Shinichi's pajamas; a large tee and a pair of gray sweat pants.

Shinichi turned as Shiho opened the tent and walked in. 'Wow she looks nice even though those clothes are big for her.' Thought Shinichi, "Shinichi, do you need any help getting dressed?" asked Shiho "Yeah thanks." Answered Shinichi as he tossed off the sheets, Shinichi winced in pain when Shiho helped him put on his shirt because of his arm, the pants were easier but still Shinichi hiss in pain when Shiho accidentally ran her fingers over the wound, "Sorry Shinichi." Apologized Shiho, "That's ok it's not your fault." After a few more seconds Shinichi was dressed and back in bed, Shiho climbed in beside him and shut off the nightstand lamp. "Goodnight Shinichi." "Goodnight Shiho."

'Come on Kudo do this while you have the courage' Shinichi took in a deep breath "Hey Shiho, can I tell you something?" he asked. "Sure what's on your mind Shinichi?" asked Shiho curiously as she turned to face him. "Shiho, I thought of you as an ally against the Black Organization from the day I meet you, and after the bus jack incident those of alliance feelings evolved into friendship, and after we started the downfall of the B.O. you became more open towards me with your feelings," Shinichi stopped to take a breath and see Shiho's reaction so far, "I felt that our friendship was becoming something more and after my near death experience I realized that I… I…" Shinichi stuttered and then stopped to harness any courage he had left. "Yes you what?" said Shiho "I… I love you Shiho Miyano." Shiho was stunned she just laid there and she became even more stunned when she felt his warm lips on hers; she stayed stiff for a couple seconds before being overcome with a wave of emotions she then returned the kiss and wrapped her arms around him. She felt him lick her lips to ask for entrance; she parted her lips and felt his tongue invade her mouth and proceeded to fight for dominance with her tongue, after what seemed like eternity Shinichi pulled back for that damned need of air. Shiho took this opportunity to speak, "I…I love you to Shinichi Kudo" She saw him break into a huge smile and pulled her towards his chest. "I love you Shiho Miyano forever and for always." Shiho just laid in the protective grasp of Shinichi as she was lulled to sleep by his scent. Shinichi felt as if he could take on the world, 'I have the girl I love in my arms and about to get a fresh start at life, how could this get better." Shinichi deeply inhaled Shiho's scent and followed her to a peaceful dreamless sleep.

Kaito turned off his alarm, 'Ugh 6:45 AM, too early' and reluctantly got out of bed. 'I wonder if Miyano stayed with Shinichi last night.' Kaito got dressed and walked over to Heiji's tent to wake him up. Upon arriving Kaito found Heiji already getting dressed. "Come on Heiji we need to get Miyano and Shinichi up." "Hold on Kaito, I just got up." After a couple of seconds Heiji emerged, "I think their still in the Medical tent Kaito." said Heiji. "Me too," said Kaito, "Let's go wake them up." Heiji and Kaito arrived at the tent and opened the flap, what they saw next surprised them so much that their mouths just hung open with eyes wide and if you were passing by you could of swore they look like fish out of water..

There in front of them was Shinichi and Shiho lying in the same bed, facing each other, arms wrapped around each other and Shiho's face buried in Shinichi's chest. Kaito and Heiji looked at each other in shock and thought the same thing, 'Wow Shinichi moves fast, she's already sleeping in the same bed with him.' Then Kaito and Heiji mouths formed an evil twisted smile. They walked to the end of the bed and looked at each other Kaito started the countdown, "3…2…1…WAKE UP YOU LOVEBIRDS!" The results we at least sidesplitting, Shiho shot straight up eyes wide causing Shinichi to wake up and fall off the bed landing on his arm, Shiho having recovered from her shock grabbed the lamp off the nightstand and hurled it at the running Heiji and Kaito knocking out Heiji causing Kaito to stop and drag his fallen comrade away instead of leaving him to a gruesome fate at the hands of Shiho, Kaito could hear Shiho yelling enough profanities to bring tears of appreciation to Inspector Nakamori eyes. After dragging Heiji across the camp Kaito felt it was safe enough and bust out laughing clutched his gut and rolled around on the ground with tears in his eyes. After he stopped laughing he walked over to Heiji who was still unconscious and had a nasty bump on his head. Kaito heard Heiji mumble, "No mommy I want a pony for my birthday." Then Heiji stuck his thumb in his mouth and started to suck on it, Kaito stopped, brain still trying to process what was happening, he then grabbed his camera phone out of his pocket and took a picture of Heiji, 'I love blackmail.' thought Kaito as he chuckled to himself and continued to drag Heiji towards his tent.

Even though see knew they were gone she continued to yell profanities ranging from bad comments about their heritage to physically impossible torture methods using brooms, mops, and toilet plungers. She only stopped after hearing a moan of pain coming from the floor, only after that did she realize that Shinichi had fallen off the bed, she looked over the other side of the bed to see Shinichi sprawled out on the floor clutching his shoulder in pain, "Shinichi!" yelled Shiho as she jumped off the bed and land next to him and help him sit up. "You ok?" asked Shiho. "Does it LOOK like I'm ok?" responded Shinichi through clenched teeth as Shiho helped him up and onto the bed. "Was that Heiji and Kaito?" asked Shinichi "Yeah that was them." Answered Shiho "I'm gonna strangle them with my bare hands." "Me too, but we need to get dressed first so I'll go get our clothes." said Shiho "Ok." said Shinichi. With that Shiho left.

Not a minute after her leaving the doctor made his last check up on Shinichi. "So doctor can I leave today?" asked Shinichi as Doctor Stephenson wrapped new bandages over his wounds. "Yeah you should be able to walk on your right leg and move your arm, but don't do any strenuous activities for a week or you won't heal right. You should get a check up in a couple of days to make sure your ok." explained the doctor as he walked out.

Shiho walk in the tent a few minutes later wearing a burgundy sweater and a pair of blue jeans both showing off her figure perfectly. "You look nice." Said Shinichi with a faint blush on his cheeks "Thanks, here are your clothes." said Shiho also with a faint blush on her cheeks as she turned around to let Shinichi get dressed. Shinichi looked at the clothes Shiho had picked out for him; a black hooded sweatshirt and a pair of blue polo jeans. Shinichi put them on with little problems but his arm and leg did hurt a little every time he moved them. "Ok I'm ready Shiho we can go to breakfast." said Shinichi as he walked towards Shiho. "Are you sure you should be walking?" asked a concerned Shiho. "Yup the doc says I can walk just not run." answered Shinichi as the two walked out of the tent towards the mess tent (1).

Upon entering they saw Heiji and Kaito sitting at a table at the far end of the tent eating pancakes, oatmeal, and laughing. Shiho face contorted in anger, she was about to walk over when she felt a hand on her shoulder and heard Shinichi whisper "Don't worry about them." She stopped and turned to walk with Shinichi through the breakfast line. They got pancakes and bacon and walked over to Kaito and Heiji who by now had seen them and waved them over. "So lovebirds what did you do last night?" asked Heiji suggestively "We didn't do anything except sleep." answered Shiho with a straight face. "Sure you did," Said Kaito his voice dripping with sarcasm, "You honestly expect us to believe that all you did was sleep?" asked Heiji. Shinichi decided to answer this one "Shiho asked me if I wanted her to stay the night, I said ok but she couldn't sleep in the chair so she slept in my bed." Kaito and Heiji didn't buy Shinichi's explanation one bit but they didn't dispute it. The rest of the meal went with out incident except Kaito decided to pull out a piece of bacon and a pancake out from behind Shinichi's ear, but hey this is Kaito so that's normal. Shinichi and Shiho finished first and stood up to throw their food away "Wait guys you didn't finish your oatmeal." said Kaito, Shiho and Shinichi stopped set down their trays and picked up their bowls which were full of warm oatmeal, they then dumped the oatmeal on Kaito and Heiji's heads. "That's for earlier." said Shinichi and Shiho as they walked away leaving a stunned Kaito and Heiji to try to get the sticky goop out of their hair.

Shinichi and Shiho at least had the courtesy to walk out of hearing range before they burst in to laughter, "They should have seen the look on their faces, it was priceless." said Shinichi as he struggled to regain his breath "Yeah they deserved it." replied Shiho as she regained control of her breathing. "We should hurry and pack it's already 7:30." said Shinichi "We have to leave in an half an hour if we want to get to Omaha on time." "Ok, we'll go pack and I'll meet you at the bus stop when you're done, ok?" asked Shiho. "Sure thing." responded Shinichi as he started to walk towards his tent.

20 minutes later Shiho meet Shinichi at the bus stop along with Kaito and Heiji, though the two groups stayed away from each other. The bus arrived two minutes till eight. Shiho and Shinichi shared a seat at the back of the bus while Kaito and Heiji both took the front seat. The ride was uneventful, Shinichi simply watch the scenery fly by and Shiho pulled out a CD player and started to listen to music. Shinichi felt something drop onto his shoulder, wondering what it is he turned his head to see that Shiho had fallen asleep, 'Wow she looks beautiful when she's sleeping.' Shinichi was then overcome by fatigue, 'Wow, riding on a bus can sure take a lot out of you.' He set his head on the top of Shiho's, instantly he was intoxicated by her scent and felt it slowly lull him to sleep.

The bus had pulled over at a rest stop to let people off to use the restroom and buy some snacks. Kaito and Heiji were waiting outside the bus for Shiho and Shinichi to get off so they could apologize for what happened that morning, but when neither got off the bus they got curious and decided to find them. "I bet you they fell asleep on the bus." said Kaito as they climbed back on the bus. "Your probably right." said Heiji as they walked down the row. What they saw was not in the least bit surprising, Shiho had fallen asleep and her head had fallen on Shinichi's shoulder who it seems also fell asleep sometime later and had laid his head on the top of Shiho's head. Kaito and Heiji looked at them for awhile then turned to each other and said at the same time "And they say their not in love." they then returned to their seats for the rest of the trip.

Shinichi and Shiho woke up as the bus pulled in to Omaha and looked at the city as they made their way to Eppley Airfield. Once there at the terminal they got off the bus and took their luggage they walked to the check-in line and got their boarding passes Shinichi looked at the digital clock on the wall it read 4:50. As they walked up the stairs to the second floor they were stopped by some FBI agents. "Can we help you?" asked Shinichi "Yes we need to talk to you, follow us please." was the response Shinichi got. They followed the agents to the security office, one of the agents opened the door and motioned for them to sit down, and they saw a figure walk towards them. "You are Kudo, Miyano, Kuroba, and Hattori I presume." the figure was answered by four nods of the head; "Good." said the figure as he stepped out of the shadows. "My name is William Muller I'm the Director of the FBI." Our two Detectives, scientist, and Phantom thief look at each other startled. "Why do you need us?" asked Shinichi. "I had you brought here because I wanted to thank you for your help in taking down the Black Organization," he reached behind him to grab four small black objects that glinted when struck by the light from the desk behind him. "So I wanted to do something for you, I would like to welcome you to the FBI." he handed the badges to them. "Wow thanks." said Shinichi as he recovered from his shock. "You're quite welcome; Kudo and Miyano, Kudo's parents told me you would be moving to New York City so since today's Tuesday I would like you to report to the New York office on Monday. Also Kuroba and Hattori I would like you to report to the Tokyo office on Monday." said the Director as he stood up to shake their hands. "Also, what are agents with out weapons and a uniform." with that he again turned around and walked to a closet and took out four leather jackets and four pistols with holsters and handed them out. "Also what good are pistols with out ammo." with that he opened a drawer and took out 12 magazines of bullets and gave them out. When Shinichi, Shiho, Kaito, and Heiji finished getting their stuff on and pistols loaded they once again shook the FBI Directors hand, "Good luck to you all, and see you around soon." with that he retreated back into the shadows and the other agents opened the door for our new FBI agents.

After walking a distance they all turned to each other stared and said "Wow." at the same time. "I can't believe we're actually FBI agents, who would've thought." said Shinichi. "You guys think it's hard to believe, I'm an ex-member of the B.O." said Shiho "Well at least you aren't currently breaking the law," said Kaito "I'm the freaking Kaitou Kid, I'm wanted in every major country around the world." "Yeah I wonder what they'd do if they found out your night job, but your experience with disguises you would be a natural for spy missions Kaito." said Shinichi. "Yeah," said Kaito, he then looked at his watch, "Wow it's already 5:15 you guys better go to your gate, what's your gate number again?" said Kaito "Our gate is A16, what's your gate?" said Shiho "Our gate is…A1 darn that's on the other end of the building, well I guess this is goodbye at least for a little while." said Heiji "Yeah, but I'll call you guys by this weekend." said Shinichi. They proceeded to shake hands and exchange hugs and then walked of in different directions.

Shinichi and Shiho proceeded towards the security check-point. One of the security officers stopped them and drew his weapon catching the attention of everyone nearby, "Stop. You aren't allowed to carry weapons in the airport terminal, put the weapons down and kick them here." Shinichi and Shiho looked at each other and reached in to their pockets and took out their badges and flashed them at everyone. "Sorry officer, but we're part of the FBI, here have a closer look." said Shinichi as he tossed the officer his badge. The officer looked at it and then tossed it back while he inspected Shiho's badge. "Well everything checks out, sorry about that but you still can't carry a loaded gun unless you're an Air Marshal." said the officer as he put away his gun. "Not to worry, our weapons aren't loaded and they have the safety on anyway." said Shiho. "Ok you can proceed but may I ask why are you flying today?" "We are new agents and are headed to New York, our new condo is there." said Shinichi. "You live together, so are you married, engaged, or what." inquired the officer who to amusement in seeing the two blush slightly, around him most people had lost interest in the conversation and those who still listened giggle slightly at the flustered couple. "We're going out." said Shiho. "Very well, you can proceed, and I wish you well in your relationship." called out the officer as they walked towards the gate.

-

The flight was an uneventful one Shiho and Shinichi just sat held each others hand and looked out the window. They arrived in New York at about 8:45 got their luggage and caught a cab towards their new condo. After getting the keys and took the elevator to the top floor (6th floor) and walked to the room. "Let us see our new home shall we?" asked Shinichi. "We shall." responded Shiho chuckling at Shinichi's attempt at being a gentlemen. Shinichi inserted the keys into the key hole and unlock the door. They were awed by what they saw next.
