A/N Okay… the characters I'm going to use are the Americanized names… as they're what I'm used to and I can't get my mind around the Japanese ones. I know I changed them for the Sailor Moon thing… but that was bothering me at the time. So if you don't like it, look them up and change them in your head.

The Anime Murder Files

Case No. 9- Uh, who the hell's dead?

Investigating Detective- Kaige

The Victim- Nothing is known at this time.

The Suspects- If we don't know who the victims is, how likely is it that we would know who the suspect are?

What the bloody hell!?!

Kaige stared blankly at the single sheet of paper waiting on her desk. It seemed fairly ominous laying on the vast emptiness of her desk. She inched forward, almost afraid that it may be a trap. It couldn't be work… cases usually came in large folders filled with bloody pictures and such.

"What are you doing?" Kaige jumped at the voice and fell back against the wall. Zoro stood in the doorway of the office giving her an odd expression. "Nothing, nothing at all. You wouldn't happen to know what that piece of paper is doing there, do you?" Zoro raised an eyebrow and crossed over to the desk. "It's a case."

Kaige jumped forward and snatched up the precious piece of paper. "Work! Hooray!" Her excitement seemed to die down as she read the few words on the paper.

Her boss, Jake Johnson, had been waiting ever so patiently outside the door for her to read the paper. He peeked quietly around the door jam into the menacing silence. As he had expected, Kaige was waiting for him. The katana was within an inch of his jugular. "What's the meaning of this, boss man?"

"It's all on the paper Kaige, there's nothing else I can tell you." Her gray eyes narrowed to slits. "There's only an address, no details whatsoever, why?"

Jake turned hopeful eyes to the newest office help. "Really, I've got no idea!" The katana moved away a bit before finally lowering to the ground. "Alright, I'll believe you this time, just don't let it happen again." Jake began backing away quickly, hoping she wouldn't ask the next question before he was back in his office. "Where's Flame?"

Jake stumbled in his haste to make it through his office door. "She's on vacation. I've got to go now, good luck on your case."

Kaige stared after the man, a lost look on her face. "Flame-chan?" She turned confused eyes to Zoro. "Where'd she go?" Zoro smiled, not realizing the potential danger. "I believe her and Sanji have gone off somewhere." Kaige's hand tightened on the katana's handle.

"So be it, death will come raining down on their heads, for my sensor is gone." Kaige's eyes seemed to be glowing red as she met Zoro's gaze head on. Zoro's eyes widened as Kaige left the office, casually killing the mailman on the way out.

20 minutes and 5 deaths later…

Kaige stared blankly from the paper in her hand to the warehouse in front of her. The paper was still legible despite all the blood it had soaked up. This was definitely the place. "Hello, anyone there? I'm here to investigate some murder."

A young boy's head popped up from behind the door. "The body is in here." Kaige stared after the dark haired boy, trying as best as she could not to kill him right away. He could be useful.

Upon entering the room, she took stock of who was there, keeping in mind victims for later. Two bodies lay on the floor, both wearing black from head to toe. The boy stood besides a young lady, but he seemed to take in as much of the scene as she.

"Hi, I'm Richard Moore, this is my daughter Rachael and the boy's Conan." The man had been standing to one side of the bodies, but now he was offering her a hand. Kaige stared down at the hand until it moved away. It would have been all too easy to chop that hand off. "I haven't been filled in on what's happening here, do so now."

Richard's tale was filled with self-praise and little fact. Kaige sighed and barely controlled her blood lust long enough to find someone else to tell her what was going on. One of the detectives stepped forward to take over the narration.

Young Conan, about an hour ago, found the two men in black. The two men had been slowly tortured to death. Someone had wanted something from them and most likely had gotten it.

Kaige turned her glowing red gaze on the young boy with disappointing results. He didn't flinch once. Staring down at him, she recognized the cold-blooded killer in the boy. It was odd to see in a child so young, something wasn't quite right here.

"It obviously took someone of great strength to kill them." Conan spoke up and gained glares from the cops and Richard. Kaige turned her backs on them and gave her full attention to the boy. "Yes, they would, wouldn't they?"

Her grip tightened on the hilt of her katana until blood trickled down it. The boy was going to be a tricky one. It was best that he didn't know she'd figured him out. Kaige turned to the group of cops awaiting her decision on the bodies.

"Take them away, I seriously doubt anything will be found on the bodies. The person who did this is obviously an expert." Kaige refused to look at Conan when she said this, tipping off the boy now would be her downfall.

With a last glance around the warehouse, Kaige turned to leave. "Aren't you going to look for clues Detective?" Kaige looked over her shoulder at Conan. "Oh, I will… I will."

An hour later…

A dart hit the wall within a foot of Zoro's head. He gave it a brief look before turning back to Kaige. "Case going well?" Kaige glared slightly and shook her head. "He's a tricky little bastard, Zoro. It's as if he isn't really a child, he's way to smart for that."

Kaige's eyes widened. "That's it! He's not a child!" Zoro's gave her a confused look. "So what is he then?" Kaige smiled at Zoro as she stood. "Don't worry about it Zoro-kun… it will all make sense once the investigation is over."

Zoro watched Kaige warily as she closed the door and locked it. "What should I worry about then?" Kaige's grin widened evilly. "Nothing…"

The next day…

Kaige left a very exhausted Zoro sleeping on her office floor. This would be the day Conan would go down. The stage just needed to be set. On the way out a hesitant package deliveryman got pushed over the stair railing and fell two stories. As Kaige stepped onto the bottom landing she the man twitch.

"Don't know when to die, do you?" Kaige picked up the fallen package and bashed him repeatedly with it. Kaige stared at the blood-splattered package for a moment, it was for her and oddly enough it was ticking. The return address was one Jimmy Kudo.

He'd just given her the final piece of the puzzle. How incredibly arrogant of him. Kaige left the body and the package to blow up together.

Later that night…

Kaige sat waiting in the warehouse. She'd left a message for Kudo to meet her here. He'd be sure to come and try one final time to shut her up.

Heavy footsteps came from the one entrance to the warehouse. "I'm here Ms. Detective, now why don't you come out for me?" Conan was no longer the young boy he was the previous day, he was now a fully-grown teenager.

Kaige laughed slightly as she hit the lights. "You know Kudo… your plan was quite ingenious really. He would expect a young boy of murder? Except you're anything but a boy."

Jimmy watched her walk towards him. "They were the ones who turned you into a boy. You've spent all this time searching for them and you finally got what you wanted. There deaths were just a little added fun."

Jimmy nodded, but said no more. "I really don't know what you're talking about." His eyes took on a psychotic gleam. "Say what you like Jimmy, I'm not recording this."

Jimmy smiled and reached into his coat, pulling out a long piece of rope. "Good, not that it'd do you any good either way. This will be your last case, too bad it's going to go unsolved."

Kaige smiled and shook her head. "That's where you're wrong." At that moment, two things happened. Kaige's eyes turned from red to her normal gray and a spear ripped through Jimmy's stomach. He turned disbelieving eyes to his killer and died.

Flame smiled at Kaige. "I see I made it just in time, how many people have you killed since I've been gone?" Kaige grinned back at Flame and flung an arm around her shoulders. "Oh, not as many as you'd think… about 30."

Jimmy's body was left on the warehouse floor, to be forgotten or another case for them on another day. Either way, this case was solved.

A/N I own nothing from Detective Conan… sue me if you will, but I don't have much of value. So :P!
