Chapter 12: Come Back
Princess Sango
Ai smiled as she heard footsteps and gently nudged Hatori, but he didn't seem to be able to wake up, he was still breathing, but why wouldn't he wake up?
Crying Ai desperately shook him until she was afraid she was adding more wounds, and yet she wanted him to wake up. Hearing the footsteps come closer down the dark hallway, Ai started to whimper to her uncle, "Heiji, wake up please!"
Ai was doing her best from slapping him but she wanted him up, "Wake up Uncle Heiji! Come on, you're strong, just like daddy, you can still live. Think about your family, you can't give up on us now, not after so long." Tears were flowing down her pale cheeks and that's when Heiji's eyes fluttered opened.
Heiji smiled and wiped Ai's tears away, "Ai please don't cry, you'll be fine without me. Tell Kazuha-chan sorry for me, you'll be good and help everyone out right?"
Ai heard the footsteps closing in and she nodded, "Are you sure this is the last time? Can't you come back like Akemi and grandma?"
"I want to be put into a new body, look Ai promise me you'll help everyone out when I'm gone," Heiji asked her softly.
"I promise," Ai answered while she was crying. Ai lowered her head down to his chest and sobbed until Hattori smiled and stroked her back until his hand stopped. The footsteps had also stopped outside the dark sad cell and you could hear a snicker, but Hattori had already left this world.
"So the first metantei to die, so whose next, maybe you, the one who's awake," the man snickered from the other side.
Ai looked up in fear but before she could cry out the man had already grabbed her. She screamed for someone to help her but no one could hear her, and soon she was about to feel the same pain Hattori had gone through.
