Mena the Sorceress (Ch.3)- Well, I originally wasn't going to do Aoko at all. But, after thinking about it, I could do a chapter with her in it. See- the main problem is that Aoko's never met Conan. So.. I guess It's a matter of her finding notes on him (Either from Nakamori, Kaito, Hakuba, or the first 2/all three) And.. Sonoko I just didn't feel like writing, but since more than one person's brought it up.. I suppose I can do her.

Pyrinsomniac (Ch.3)- What don't you understand. O.o? Anyways. I'm glad you like the style I've put this in (It's an unusual style, but it's just how I end up writing the chapter. I love enter spaces for dramatic effect, and yet FFNet takes them from me. ;.; oh well. Read on!

Luna-Kitsune-Blu (Ch. 3)- Gah! Don't attack the reviewer's/reader's!
And there you go with the Glorious thing again.. Yet.. I love it XD And I'm glad you love this story. Glad you find it fun to watch people slowly figure it out.

That is the point of this fic.

SN 1987A (Ch. 3)- So, you found 'Kuba's chapter the most natural, neh? Well, he was a spur-of-the-moment writing. But, yes, I personally like Hakuba's chapter most.

Magick Dreamweaver (Ch. 2)- I'm glad you liked how I wrote the plot.

Jolly-chan (Ch. 1)- Hey, when I get inspired, I get inspired.
Well, of course you're in my intro text! I try and give credit where it's due!
I'm glad you found that fitting.
Well, I didn't mean for it to be all Heiji's fault, that wasn't what I was going for- but you need to remember that I had to re-write this chapter, from my awesome original 'cause AOL deleted it. .
Ok, we can compare (You'll have to give meh the linky though in a PM mayhaps on the board.)

Shinichi Stalker (Ch.2)- You… really like this story, huh? Uhm, yeah, I do plan for Kogoro and Eri to be in this, and no, I am not shoving Conan's teacher into this. Sonoko I'm thinking about though for this chapter. I'm also thinking about Nakamori-keibu.

Wolven Angel (Ch. 2)- Well, sort of everyone's finding out his secret- and actually, There's more characters finding out than originally intended XD

And.. Most don't know about Ai because, A) She's an ex-syndacate member. Of course a lot of people shouldn't know about her! B) She simply hasen't met most of these other character's in the series.

And… I think everyone's looking forward to KID's chapter- I am too. That's why I'm going to try to write it last XD that way people will keep reading, and I'll keep writing.
Luna-Kitsune-Blu(Ch.2)-POCKY! I LUFF POCKY! XD
Yes, KID fandom for me started with fan fiction, then I was able to find some manga scanslations, and than I saw him in action (after buying -caughbootlegscaugh- and I love him even more XD Especially since his Japanese VA is the same as Shinichi's, and Inuyasha! It's awesome.
And I'm glad you think this is 'glorious' XD
Will I Continue 'I Play Dead?' I'm not sure, but I'll see about it, since you asked me.

Fyliwion (Ch.1)- I'm glad you liked how I did Kazuha's reaction.

Runi-chan (Ch.1)- So.. You listen to Mae?

Luna-Kitsune-Blu (Ch. 1) - I only did the Detective Boys because of you. XD

Takato: Well, it's that time again for the chapter! (I shoved all the reviewer responses at the top, sorry guys.)

I'm running out of the song XD so I'll have to pick up another one. Though, it might not be from Mae's CD so. -shrugs- I dunno. We'll see.

Disclaimer: Takato wants you to refer to chapters one and two about the pwnage of rights, neh?

And.. I'm going on vacation for a few days, and after that when I return, I'll be catching up on other fics, so please, forgive my review whining, and be patient for the next update. It may take a week.

the pictures you took
that cover your room,

Eri

She sighed softly as she sat down on the couch in her office. She was tired, yet the phone call she had just received from Ran, who was crying over Conan being hurt again, caused her mind to go spinning.

Eri loved Ran, of course she did, but there were times she wished she hadn't gotten some of Kogoro's genes.

Not only was she completely daft, but she had some moments where she could be rather daft herself. Eri could forgive Ran of course, since she managed a lot of her own personality, but really. There were those times…

Moving back to the point, the main focus of analysis was the said injured boy, Conan.

The boy, despite what he looked like, and her personal logic, got the chills from the boy. She'd been around Shinichi growing up, and thus, saw a different side than what Ran did.

Conan acted a lot like the boy while growing up, though, Shinichi didn't end up being at nearly the amount of crime scenes that Conan did.

It was as if the boy was blessed by Shinigami himself, bringing all the dead to him so that Shinigami could take them peacefully.

It was strange, absurd, and plain scary.

Conan was calm and collective. If the airplane incident had told her that much. Though, she did have to get a secondhand story about it, since she'd been unconscious for most of it… Which was strange in itself since… she solved the murder case while asleep.

Every time she saw him in the newspaper, she read what had happened, even though, usually, Ran would call her as soon as she could after each escapade.

Conan was special, and she wondered, what did Kogoro make of the boy.

Not in the, 'Well, he's an annoying brat!' sense, but, she wondered, if Kogoro might be suspicious of the boy as well…

and it was just like the sun
but more like the moon.

Kogoro

He was tired. All because of the damn brat getting stabbed and put into the hospital.

The kid always got himself into a mess, and as deeply as he possibly could.

Yet, he couldn't find it in himself to stay angry with the boy for long.

He'd grown a somewhat strange tolerance for when he got into these messes.

The main thing about it was his parents. They sent money, sure, but it was strange that they never really called, nor did they really come to visit, other than the one time they did.

Heck, the Kudo boy's mother had visited the kid more than his actual mother! Let alone the father!

There was also Conan's room.

Sure, he'd given the boy the storage room, but he was glad the boy was out of his room.

This way, it was actually easier to look through the kid's stuff. Why? Because, he could more easily leave everything as if it'd never been touched.

Of course this behavior of his was strange, but he'd discovered plenty about the boy that he would have otherwise, easily overlooked.

Such as the case files.

Sure, Conan had taken his case files before, but he soon found the kid had his own set.

And those, were far more scary, tidy, and informative than his own.

Not only that, but his own personal side-notes would make even the best of inspector's blush at their neatness and depth. In some, there were even pictures of the victim, or suspects involved. The pictures didn't happen a lot, but it was enough to make him wonder just where he'd gotten them, since they were colored original pictures. Not black and white copies.

Kogoro sighed softly as he went into the said boy's room, and started looking through his book collection.

Detective themed books.

How obvious.

Yet, they were all very long, thick, and a good past 600 pages long. No normal child would ever really want to read a book that long, unless it was either Harry Potter (which they could buy the movie for), or some other huge book.

Even he didn't like to read books that long.

Kogoro than decided to move to his homework.

There had been times, sure, that Ran had managed to strangle some artwork, or highly graded paper from the boy, but otherwise, Conan never brought up homework.

He never worried about it, since usually, he'd done it before coming home.

That was when another thing hit him.

Did Conan even think of this as a place he could call home? It'd been a good year or so by now, and usually one adapted to a new environment, and adopted it as home.

Conan seemed to have become homey here…

Yet he couldn't shake the feeling that the boy still constantly went to his real home, and thus never really missed it.

It was a strange, confusing feeling, that honestly, even he couldn't make any sense of it…

There was also that one writing paper that Ran had praised the poor boy over.

She gloated over it for days. It was rather silly, and something only a mother or sister would be so proud of…

But Conan had once brought home a paper where they did writing practice, and somehow, his had managed to be almost-perfect, in fact, there were a few letters that were perfect.

D, K, N, S, and I.

If that didn't say anything about his extreme familiarity with those letters, another thing that he was surprised about, was when Conan gave her puppy eyes of doom and cried just so that she'd take it off the fridge and stop talking about it.

Being the one who watched the event, he very plainly saw how the whole incident upset the boy.

It was abnormal to go so far as to humiliate yourself like that, just to get a paper back, and make someone silence themselves.

As Kogoro looked through the papers, he noted that the boy had two different sets of writing.

Which, from the looks of it, he could deduce, that some papers were written with his left hand, while his loose, and careless side notes from class were written by his right hand, since they were written in perfect kanji. Or even hiragana. 1

Kogoro then fixed what he'd moved, and placed it exactly where it had been left.

He then moved over to Conan's case files again, and found a new folder.

Unlike the other folder's that were sectioned with certain colors, depending on the case, this was a plain, white folder.

White.

With the title of 1412.

Kogoro knew the kid really poured himself into solving the notes from KID that managed to get into his hand, but he even found one's from the newspaper.

The kid, not only was obsessed with detective work, but also, was beyond obsessed with this one thief.

The illustrious Kaitou Kid, 1412.

Why?

Sure, they'd met him more than once, heck, Kid had even impersonated him. Yet, Conan's notes were detailed, with each time they'd met up with him with detailed notes, and just who it was that he had impersonated each time.

It was when he hit the note of his, where he mentioned that Kid had impersonated himself.

This caused him to pause.

He then quickly read the file with rapt attention, taking in every detail.

Conan, for that one moment in his notes, practically declared that he was Kudo, if he was truly understanding his notes.

He had always, in the back of his mind, found the boy's appearance, and all together existence strange.

Now he had an inkling as of why.

And, perhaps…

That's what scared him most.

1 Uhm… I don't know if that's the word/spelling for the other type of Japanese writing but.. Myeh. X.x0

I'm.. sorry about the extreme shortness of Eri's part of the chapter X.x0 Originally, I was planning on having her call Kogoro and have them discuss the matter, but I feel this way is better.

Feed the starving artist and review!

Until next time-

Shinjitsu wa Itsumo Hitotsu!

There is only One Truth!
