Chapter 11: Only One Wish
Conan drank his soup with his spoon.
"You sure want to back to your real self?" professor asked.
"Yeah." Conan said, "Me and Haibara have finally found the cure." he said, "Oh yes. Prof, can you please tell the teacher that I and Haibara will study at other school?" he asked, "I guess I shouldn't make any trouble if I restudy at my real school." he said.
"Oh yes. I almost forgot about your school." he said, "Well, okay."
"Thanks."
"Anyway, didn't she wake up yet?" professor asked, "It's almost 10.30 AM." he said.
"No." Conan said, "Maybe she was too tired when she got a shoot from Chris." he said, "Otherwise, she lost a lot of her blood."
"Oh... poor Ai-kun." professor said.
Conan's cell phone is beeping. He glared at his cell phone's back, "Now who is calling me this morning?" he asked, taking his phone and looked at the calling person's name, "Hello?"
"Conan-kun! What are you doing?" Ran yelled, "Why didn't you go home yesterday?"
He jumped, 'Ra-Ran?'
"Me and my father were worried about you." she said, "Where are you now?" she asked.
His sweat dropped, "I-I'm at professor Agasa's house now." he said, "Do-Don't worry about me…"
"At professor Agasa's house?" she asked.
"Ye-Yeah…" he said, "Haibara got an accident, and I saw her unconsciously and … and I went here."
"An accident?" she asked, "Why don't you brought her to hospital?"
"I-I brought her here because I couldn't brought her there by myself, and she was saved by professor's help." he said quickly.
"Oh…" she thought herself.
Conan sighed.
"Then, how about your school?" she asked.
His sweat dropped.
"Don't you go to school today?" she asked.
"I-I can't, I have to take care of Haibara." he said, "I-I mean, I have to help professor to cure Haibara's health."
"Oh, that makes sense." she said, "I hope she can study again at her school again quickly."
"Thank you, Ran-neechan." Conan said.
"Take care, Conan-kun." she said.
"Okay, thank you, bye." he said, and ends the call.
He sighed, "What a difficult question for a little kid." he said, glared at his phone.
"Was that Ran?" professor asked.
He rolled his eyes, "Yeah. She really worried about me." he said, "She doesn't know, that Shinichi Kudo will meet her again."
"If you're back to your real self, how about your little body now?" professor asked.
Conan smiled. His face is looking half sad and half glad, looking down "Maybe if I'm back to my real self, Conan Edogawa will disappeared. All about Conan Edogawa will disappear from her mind, forever…" he said, quietly.
"Hey, Shinichi-kun…" professor called.
Haibara's eyes widened, 'Memory about the happiness time… will disappear…' she thought to herself.
'Same as me, Kudo-kun…'
The sunny weather chanced becomes snowing. Conan tried to make the cure with Haibara's explanations.
"C'mon, Haibara." Conan said, "Try to remember the cure."
"I can't remember that easily…" she said, sweating, "Even… even I copied those all, it won't work in other computer except organization's computer…" "In my memory, there is 'cell enhancer' word and 'protein' word for increasing the bone cell with mixed 'enhancer'… but I don't know any cure for increasing other cells…" she said.
Conan rubbed his chin, sweating, 'The enhancer is 'Paikal' beer from China… something full of protein at least is milk...' he thought, 'The other cells…'
He scratched his head, 'Uh… if I can remember those when I studied it three years ago…!' he thought.
Haibara stared at him, 'If I can remember those all… Kudo-kun will…'
Sweats make her face red and wet.
"Any else you remember?" Conan asked.
She didn't answer.
"Haibara?" Conan asked, looked at her. "Hey, Haibara."
"Hey, hey. It looks like, she fainted." professor said.
"What?" he yelled.
He ran towards her, "Hey, Haibara! Wake up! Wake up!" he yelled, "If I can't make the cure, we can't back to our real self!"
"We…?" Haibara asked quietly.
"Haibara? You're not fainted?" he asked.
"Did you say… 'we'…?" she asked.
"Um, yeah." He said.
"Kudo-kun… as my memory, I didn't say that I will back like what you said…" she said, "Even I can back to my real self, I just can break your relationship with your girlfriend…"
"No… that's not true." he said, "You're not my enemy, you're my…"
He stopped.
She waited his word.
He looked away, "Never mind that…" he said, "You have to take a full rest."
She smiled, and closed her eyes.
He stared at her, 'I promise… I will make the cure…' he thought, 'For us…'
"Now, what do we have to do?" professor asked, "We don't know anything about the cure, Shinichi-kun."
He rubbed his chin.
"Shinichi-kun?" professor asked.
He smiled.
'Perfect…' he thought.
Next day…
"What? Conan-kun's parents took him?" Ran asked, holding her phone on her ear.
"That's right." professor said, "Yesterday, they want to take him to their home, at London."
"London?" she asked.
"But don't worry. He said, he will send a mail after he arrived at there."
"Oh. Thank you for your report, prof." she said.
"You're welcome."
Ran ends the call, 'He left…' she thought, 'Without saying goodbye…'
"What's the matter, Ran?" Kogoro asked, "Why did your tears come out from your eyes?"
"Um… Conan-kun's parents took him to London yesterday." Ran said.
"Oh, that little kid?" he asked.
"Yeah... he will send a mail after he arrived at there." she said.
"Without that kid, Kogoro Mori will solve the case easily!" he said, and laughed.
She looked down, 'Conan-kun…'
"How long you stand there? You will be late." Kogoro said.
"Oh, no! I'm late!" Ran yelled, running towards the door.
"She is always like that if she was thinking about that little boy…" he muttered, turning on the television, and grinning at Yoko Okino's contest in television.
At school…
"Good morning, Ran!" Sonoko said.
"Oh, good morning." Ran said.
"What's the matter?" she asked, "You're looking sad."
"Um, actually…"
At class…
"So that's the matter…" Sonoko said, "Don't be sad. You should be happy, because he can have a new life with his parents again."
"I know, but…"
"Oh, whose bag is that?" Sonoko pointed his finger at two unknown school bags, "Hey, isn't that Shinichi's chair?" she asked.
'Shinichi?' Ran thought.
At school park…
Shinichi was sitting on the ground, staring at snows falling from the sky. His face looks lax, 'The world chanced becomes gentle…' he thought, 'Shinichi Kudo appeared… Conan Edogawa disappeared…'
'And that girl…' he thought, 'why doesn't she want to back to herself?' 'Is it because…'
"Shinichi?" Ran yelled.
He jumped, and looked at her.
"Shinichi… you're back." she said.
His eyes widened, and looked away, "Hi…" he muttered.
"What do you mean by saying like that?" she asked madly.
He didn't answer, still looking down.
"I think he has a serious problem." Sonoko said.
"No." he said, "Not at all…"
Sonoko glared, "What nonsense. I will be waiting for at class." she said, walking to her class.
Silence.
"Shinichi."
"What?" he asked.
"Can I tell you something?" Ran asked.
He stared at her.
Silence.
"I'm sorry…" he said.
"What did you say?" Ran asked.
"I said, I'm sorry." he said, "Please, don't say that now. Leave me alone."
'Shinichi…' she thought. She stood up and left.
He leaned his hand against his forehead.
Flashback
"Even I can back to my real self, I just can break your relationship with your girlfriend…" Haibara said.
End Flashback
He held his forehead tightly with sweats, "Uh…" he muttered.
After school…
Shinichi ran out from the class.
"Why didn't he go with you like last time?" Sonoko asked.
Ran looked down.
Shinichi ran into professor Agasa's house, and opened the door.
"I'm back." he said, walking towards Haibara's room. "How is she, prof?" he asked.
"Doctor Araide said, she got unknown sick." professor said, "He said, maybe she lost much of her blood. And I think so too about that matter."
Shinichi looked at Haibara sleeping on her bed. Her face was red and wet, with sweats covering all of her face.
Silence.
"You can stay here with her for a few." professor said, "I will take some medicine from underground room."
Shinichi rolled his eyes, "Don't give her any medicine for flu." he said, "Give her any medicine for red blood cell, for her blood."
"I know, I know." professor said, walking out from the room.
Silence.
Shinichi faces Haibara. Closer, he slipped his finger into her hair gently. Her eyes make his eyes widened, 'Haibara… why don't you want to back like me?' he thought, 'Don't you want to start your new life?' his fingers rubbed her hair silently. 'I know it will be a challenge for you… but at least…' his word starts to vanished, 'At least… I will…' 'I will…' he doesn't know what to do next, he doesn't know what is he doing. He doesn't know any about the girl he touch.
He snapped out and shook his head, 'Shit… I did it again…' he thought. 'It makes me feel sick thinking about it…' he sighed.
Ran rang the door bell.
"Oh, I'm coming." professor said, running towards the door and opened it.
Ran saw him, "Oh, professor. Can I come in?" she asked.
"Huh? Ran?"
"I heard, Ai-kun got sick. Can I look after her?" she asked. "I brought a piece of cake and strawberry juice for her."
"Oh, thank you very much. Come in." he said.
"How is she now, prof?" she asked, walking to Haibara's room with professor.
"Um, she needs to restore her condition for three days or more. So I have to care her everyday until she gets health." he said.
"Three days?" she asked, "Did she get fever?"
His sweat dropped, "I-I don't think so too."
"Have you ask doctor Araide?" she asked, opening the room door, "Maybe she got ty... phus…?"
Ran saw Shinichi sitting on Haibara's bed. "Shinichi? What are you doing here?" she asked.
Shinichi jumped, 'Ra-Ran?'
"He-He came here to look after Ai-kun too. Like you." professor said hastily.
Shinichi's sweat dropped, "Ri-Right." he said.
"Did he know her too?" Ran asked.
"Ye-Yeah." professor said, "Haven't I told you before?"
"So he always runs after school because of her?" she asked.
Shinichi's sweat dropped, "Heh?"
Ran raised her eyebrows, "What? I don't know that you like a little girl like her." she said, "Is that true, Shinichi?" she asked.
"Wh-What? I didn't say that." Shinichi said.
"Oh. As your face, that was true." Ran said.
"Professor, can't you help a little?" he asked.
Professor was rubbing his chin, "Hey, I wondered same as like that either…" he said.
Shinichi's sweat dropped, "Pro-Professor?"
"Shinichi! What is this mean?" Ran asked.
"Hey, hey. Shinichi-kun." professor said.
Shinichi's sweats dripping, "Wa-Wait. I will explain." he said.
Shinichi, Ran, and professor Agasa don't know that Haibara was staring at them.
'I knew it…' she thought, 'I broke his relationship with her…'
Her eyes widened, 'I lost…' she thought, 'I can't stay with them again…'
'Maybe... forever…'
Next day, the weather is snowing with a storm.
At school…
"Wow… the storm is so scary." Sonoko said, looking at the window "I hope I can go home safely."
"Don't worry, Sonoko." Ran said, "We can be safe, if we go after the storm is stopped."
Shinichi looked at the window, 'Snow storm…?'
He swallowed, 'Uh, I'm feeling something bad about her…' he thought.
After school, the storm is still blowing the town.
"Oh, no…" Sonoko said, "The storm won't stop."
"Maybe we have to wait." Ran said.
Shinichi runs over Ran's side with his umbrella.
Ran and Sonoko's sweat dropped, "He-Hey! Shinichi!" Ran yelled.
'No… that won't happen!' he thought, 'I believe… I believe she won't do that…!'
He runs towards professor Agasa's house and opened the door. He saw professor, "Prof, where is she?" he asked.
"She is sleeping on her bed in her room." he said.
Shinichi runs to Haibara's room.
"He-Hey. What's wrong, Shinichi-kun?" professor asked.
Shinichi opened the room door.
'What…?'
He didn't see her on her bed.
Professor saw Shinichi, "What's happening, Shinichi-kun?" he asked.
"That girl…" he said, "She is gone…"
"What?"
Shinichi saw a letter on Haibara's bed and took it.
Dear professor Agasa and Shinichi Kudo,
Sorry to make you worried. It was the first time I feel the happiness.
I have a good friend in my life. And I could feel how I can join the detective group together.
I was the poison maker, and I killed much of humans. You've finally found the cure.
So you don't need me again anymore. I would not forget your kindness.
Goodbye, everyone.
Thank you for everything.
From Ai Haibara.
"Hey, hey! What do we must to do, Shinichi-kun?" professor asked, "If we can't find her in this stormy weather, we will be late!" he said. "Hey, Shinichi-kun!"
He is holding his forehead tightly, sweats covering his face, "Uh…"
"Shinichi-kun? Are you okay?" professor asked.
He snapped out and shook himself, "Yeah… I'm okay…" he said, sweating.
