Fireblazie: I'm glad you followed the link off the forum XD That makes me happy. And- as for Heiji being tortured by Kazuha due to a plot of Conan well… I could do it separately, but I'm unsure on if I really feel like it. 3

Pyrinsomniac: I see. Well- I don't expect my reader's to fully know what I'm talking about. I'm not the only author who has more knowledge than most. (Go to Mangaviewer- There's a crapload of translated Detective Conan manga scans…And trust me, you'll understand most of this, and some of the other fics of other's since they use non-american-dub-knowledgeable stuffs.) And yes- I'll definitely agree with your take on the Dub/sub differences. Trust me, I saw Fruits Basket in it's entirety as a fan sub a year before it came out, and it was a shock in a couple ways, (especially Yuki's voice X.x0, since he sounds like a bad guy trying to seduce you.. And at first I didn't like Kyou, due to my first thoughts being 'THEY MADE HIM A GAY GANGSTER! XO' …but loe and behold, I fell in love with his dub voice, and is the main reason I'm into Detective Conan today XD). Speaking of dub vs. subs- Are you aware that Inuyasha's Japanese voice is also Shinichi's Japanese voice (not conan's, since that's the leader of TWO MIX)…? XD I love it lots 'cause it makes it all the more fun… XD (So yay! Shinichi CAN sing.. And rap.. O.o… all because of some Inuyasha singles where Inuyasha sings XD wewt!) Ok… getting back on track here… Yes- sometimes fan subs are totally different in showing the personality of a character. If you'd like another Inuyasha example- simply google Ear Tweak dot com. Kuro-chan has awesome weekly translated scans of Inuyasha. X3

And finally: thanks for the confirmation, and I'm glad you liked the chapter.

SN 1987A: YOU! -caughs- No.. seriously, I can't believe I'm only getting onto the third review…. O.o it's been like… 10 minutes since I started writing. XD Anyways.. I'm.. very tired of Harry Potter -blah- And let's see… Uhm.. I'm really glad you liked how I did the Kogoro/Eri chapter. -smiles- It just.. Flowed, even though I'd gotten really distracted at one point so.. It may seem inconsistent (Of course.. I'm random and inconsistan… gah.. DARN YOU ADHD! XD)

Eialyne: That's hard to spell… anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed reading my chapters.

Runi-chan: I'm glad you like my writing style. I personally find it unique, if not strange XD See you next review.

Luna-Kitsune-Blu: XD I find your love of Kogoro admirable- He is a good character, though at times he is.. Unbearable. Of course, Conan takes care of that, and makes it amusing. And.. Yeah, when most anime's get dubbed, and then have dub names, you have to be able to go from one to the other and know who the author is talking about, because honestly, a lot of fans will be biased on originality, instead of dub changes. (Just look at the Yugioh section, there's a real split over preference to which names to use.)

And.. I'm glad you think my story has the right to be called 'Glorious' XD Fun times is my phrase.

Conan's case files: Ok, I don't want it to seem he's being careless- It's moreso the fact that, Conan's in a storage closet/room. Kogoro knows the place inside out, and he can easily rummage through it. And, I never said he found them on his first shot.

Finally: As for the KID scanslations.. I'm unsure if they're around anymore. -shrugs solemnly-I think I saved the site but, I think it may have died.

Takato: Hey everyone. I'm back from vacation, and.. Sort of caught up (though fallen behind again) in my fan fic reading.

Disclaimer: I don't own Detective Conan, nor Mae's song/lyrics of Sun and the Moon. I'm also figuring out what the next song will be.

a light that cant reach at all.
so now im branded for taking the fall.

Takagi

Takagi sighed softly as he sat down in his office after just having finished the testimony of the guy who'd hurt Conan.

The guy was honestly proud of hurting Conan, and was sorry he hadn't managed to hurt the other kids.

Ai seemed the least shaken, and yet, at the same time, the most shaken by the event.

The girl made him nervous, but he'd known Conan longer- and the nervousness he got from that boy had changed over time.

Oh yes.

It'd changed.

He'd always had an uneasy feeling, it was normal since as a person, he wasn't self confident. Why Megure brought him on almost all of his cases amazed him.

When he'd met Conan though, it was different. He felt a familiar awkwardness with him, the same kind of thing he'd gotten when he'd first met Shinichi.

Conan had abnormal deductive capabilities just like Shinichi had when he had solved his first murder case on the way to Los Angelus. Yet, Conan seemed to have more experience than Shinichi had at that time.

When Takagi had gotten used to Conan, Ai suddenly showed up, and the girl had scared the bejeezus out of him. She was way too calm and well mannered for a kid. Her sarcasm also weirded him out.

After that, his views on Conan stayed mostly the same, though always open to changes. The boy was at most of the murder cases they ran into, and was able to find more evidence than most of the investigative team. Conan also was very knowledgeable about things children seldom had knowledge of, and his vocabulary was bigger than a child his 'age.'

It wasn't until that bomber incident that his views on Conan changed drastically.

Takagi quickly had found himself completely having to rely on Conan to save them both from that mercury lever bomb.

It had been a nerve-racking situation, and yet, Conan had been far more calm during most of it.

Now, most would say he was oblivious, but that was only at first. When he had the time to think back, he would be able to pick up things he'd missed before.

After that incident, Takagi had soon after thought the whole incident over, and realized many, many things about Conan-kun.

Conan had disarmed the bomb almost in its entirety before he'd even finished the first few pages. Not only that, but he was more sure of himself than Takagi had been at the time. There was also Conan's comment about the clue for the final place where the bombs had been placed, "My most important person may be there…"

Takagi had immediately known who that important person was.

Mouri Ran.

That was when a new question came to him, to a point it startled him a bit. Yet, he had quickly found the burning desire to ask, to find out…

"Just… Who in the world are you…? Who are you… really..?"

Conan's reaction was also startling. He just smiled slightly, knowingly. He had moved his face so that his glasses obscured his eyes for a moment before saying, "I'll tell you… On the other side."

It was that moment, that Takagi was sure that Conan was not who he said he was. Honestly, who wouldn't feel that way, after hearing an '8 year old' confidently say he'd tell him who he really was after they died..?

It was also at that moment, that Takagi realized he had become the closest to finding out a vital detail about the boy. Which also meant, that the boy was keeping his identity secret for safety reasons. So much, as to not even tell a police officer.

After that day, he listened to the boy. Takagi knew that Conan knew what he was talking about, and what he was doing.

The boy was a professional.

Takagi sighed and brought his hands to his face, rubbing his cheeks and eyes.

Conan getting stabbed the way he did was a horrible experience to suddenly run in on. The first time he'd seen him badly injured was when he'd been shot. That had been scary, since he'd bled for a long time, and thus, was in a lot more danger than he had when getting stabbed (although, both instances were still lethal).

Now though, it was different. In a sense, he depended on Conan for confidence. Conan was like a strange, small pillar of strength, knowledge, and mystery.

Takagi personally felt it was a somewhat warped way to think of him, but Conan just seemed invisible in his own way.

Any time he got hurt, it was an experience that was always close to earth-shattering.

It was also unnerving how he worried about the people around him more than himself.

He was a protector.

And Takagi felt it was his duty, that even though he was on the outside looking into his life, that he needed to keep a sharp eye on the boy.

Conan, after all, was an important clue in some unsolved mystery, somewhere, and that's all he needed to know.

ohh...
so when you say forever,
can't you see you've already captured me.

Megure and Satou

Satou sighed softly as she sat down with a cup of coffee in the eating area of the Police Headquarters. Soon after, she found Megure sitting across from her, as fatigued as she was. She drank some of her coffee, sort of watching him, waiting for him to speak as he fiddled with his mustache.

"Satou-san…"

She put her coffee down, "Yes?"

"About the Shounen-tachi… I know they've been through this sort of thing before but… would you follow up on them for trauma..?"

Satou blinked and then nodded, "Sure."

Megure nodded, seemingly still in deep thought, "..Satou-san… You were the first on the scene of the crime. What could you see of Conan's state at that point in time…?"

Satou blinked, "He was… completely calm, silent, and seemingly trying to assure Ayumi-chan that no, he wasn't dead. Honestly, it was almost as though he were reprimanding her for being as upset as she was, but, even though being shot is scary, getting stabbed- especially since they're so small… Conan could have died a lot faster than any adult."

Megure nodded, "Yes… I noticed that too. It… bothers me Satou-san. I mean, yes, we have worked with him on several occasions but…"

"What he does isn't what a normal boy would do, correct?"

Megure nodded, fingering his mustache some more, mumbling softly to himself. Satou nodded and slumped back in her seat, "If it weren't for Conan-kun and the Shounen-tachi… I think we might not even be here."

Megure looked at Satou, "What do you mean?"

Satou sat up again and lent against the table, looking down at it, "Well, there's that one accident where you were targeted due to having a number in your name along with the others. When Ran got taken hostage by that wine taster… He could have either killed her, or, You all could have gone down with the restaurant, and not have been saved had Conan not shot her in the leg when he did. There was also the time where I was handcuffed to an innocent suspect in an art museum when it was due to be torn down, and we were still in it. Had it not been for Conan, I don't think I'd be alive right now." At this Megure nodded, "And, finally, that bomb incident with Takagi-kun. We could have lost both of them along with Touto tower."

Megure sighed and lent back in his chair, "That, and many other times, where suspects may have gotten away with framing someone else, had Conan not noticed some seemingly insignificant clue and brought it up to our attention."

"Exactly."

"Just like Kudo-kun."

Satou blinked, "You think so?"

Megure nodded, "You didn't have the chance to work with that kid… But he was good at being a detective. If it weren't for Mouri-kun, I'd have to say that he truly was meitantei."

Satou shifted, "You really think he was the greatest detective?"

Megure nodded, "Yes, he was fast at what he did, if not thorough. He noticed things we didn't, and explained everything thoroughly, being able to figure out pieces of the puzzle that seemingly had nothing to do with the case. He was an amazing bright boy. Honestly, you don't think we'd call him the great detective of the East for nothing!"

Satou smiled slightly, "I suppose so… but, what happened to him..?"

Megure sighed heavily, "He's up and disappeared for over a whole year. Sure, we've seen him a few times, but now, we honestly can't be sure if it's been really him, due to that Hattori kid poking his nose in and imitating him. Also, Kudo-kun has repetitively asked us not to mention him, which points to him being in hiding."

Satou nodded, "So you feel he's in trouble?"

Megure shifted, "I'd have to say, in more than normal danger. He's hiding, and that boy never hid from anything ever."

Satou shifted, placing things together, "So, what are you saying?"

Megure rubbed at his eyes for a moment, "I think there's something Conan-kun knows. He's just not normal, and he's been places he shouldn't before. I've seen him, noting that he didn't want to be noticed, so I've left him alone. Still, the boy is simply too collected for a child. I know now isn't the best time to think of these sorts of things, but Conan-kun and Kudo-kun are too similar! I saw Kudo-kun a couple of times with Yuusaku-kun when he was younger. Conan-kun and Kudo-kun look the same."

Satou nodded, placing her hands under her chin, resting her head on them, "So, you're saying there's a connection between Conan-kun and Kudo-kun."

Megure nodded, "Yes, and that thing is, is that even though they look the same, Conan-kun has a lot more wear to his eyes. No child is that weary of the world. He's seen and known too much far before we ever ran into him, and that knowledge and wear was not caused by trauma. As you should have noticed by now, he's always the first to run towards a crime scene. If he had trauma, he would never run towards a crime scene."

Satou nodded, sitting back in her chair, "You're right."

Megure sighed softly, "We need to watch over him more closely Satou-san. Something's going on that we're not seeing. Just, we need to make sure to keep an eye out for him."

Satou nodded, finishing off her coffee. "There's something else I need to talk to you about."

Megure blinked, "Oh? What's that?"

"It's Conan-kun's files."

Megure raised an eyebrow, "His.. Files?"

Satou nodded, "His personal history files- they're false."

Megure straightened up, "False…? Do you think… he's under the Witness Protection Program…?"

Satou shook her head, "No, definitely not. These were created by someone on the outside who knows what they're doing. They appeared after that time he was shot, since the hospital had a hard time treating him without files."

Megure rubbed at his mustache, "I see… So… this just helps our suspicions of him."

Satou nodded, "Yes.. I'd have to say so."

Megure sighed, pushing himself back, and standing up from his chair, "Satou, I know this sounds strange, but solidify his files. If Conan-kun's really in trouble like we think he is, than we can't let the enemy find those things out either."

Satou nodded, "Shall I do the same for Haibara-san?"

Megure paused, "Haibara-kun?"

Satou nodded, "Her files… are also false."

Megure looked down for a moment, shifting, before looking back to Satou, "Do it."

Satou nodded as she stood up, "Yessir."

They then nodded to each other, threw away their coffee cup's, and went to their respective offices, getting to work.

This was going to be a long night.

Takato: Alright! 6 pages with size 10 font, and author comments at font 8! XD -stretches-

I hope you readers don't mind how Satou and Megure-keibu's viewpoints came out- it was honestly unexpected, yet, I wanted a difference in the flow of chapters, and how the characters became suspicious. Also- I really just didn't know what to do with Satou and Megure. I'll honestly manage Aoko and Nakamori-keibu's chapter's easier than theirs. The problem lies in their always being with Conan, and yet, not having as much of a connection with him as Takagi-keibu ended up having. So.. That's my explanation for Satou and Megure.

Well, it's time for me to sign off, but always remember, review and feed the starving artist!
