MD: O.O….
Conan: Hello? Is anyone home? pokes MD a few times
MD: I got reviews!!!!!! Can you believe it Conan?!
Conan: Not really. Putting me in it helped to improve the whole thing.
MD: Actually, that's very true.
Conan: Huh? Are you sick or something? You didn't argue with me.feels forehead for temp.
MD: Well, with you at the end, the story had sorta a happy ending. She got Shinichi back, right? In a ways. I think.
Conan: sigh You sounded smart for a minute there. But you ruined it at the end.
MD: Grrrrrrrrr. Anyways. After finishing that chapter I got an idea for another one. Why not put all of that from Conan's point of view?!
Conan: Joy, now I get to suffer…
MD: Hey! I had a fairly happy ending on the other one. This is the same night, so why won't you have a happy ending?
Conan: I guess that's true.
MD: Conan, will you do the disclaimer for me again?
Conan: No way, I did it last time.
MD: Hmmmmm. Maybe I should add a bit to the story, so that it won't have a happy ending….
Conan: Alright, I'll do it! You are very evil you know that?
MD:
Conan: Masked Detective still does not own Detective Conan, though she is trying to buy it. And so far she has about 15 dollars…. Plus she does not own the song "Welcome to my Life", even though it is one of her favorite songs.
MD: I used to have 30 dollars, but then that new Detective Conan DVD came out… and that new Yugioh graphic novel… one thing just lead to another.
Conan: sigh You are horrible at saving. But can you just start the fic now, before you waste anymore money?
MD: Wait, I "wasted" my money on a Detective Conan DVD? Unless your only talking about the Yugioh graphic novel. Oh well. Time ta start da fic!
Welcome to my Life
Conan sat on the edge of his bed, watching the rain slide down the window. He had his elbows resting on the window seal, with his chin leaning on his hands. He listened to the rain outside and noted the silence in the house. He assumed that Ran and Kogoro were asleep. He gave a small sigh as he continued to watch the rain.
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever want to run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming
Conan watched as the rain got slightly harder and pushed his glasses higher up on his nose. He had gotten so used to wearing them; he had put them on without a second thought. His mind wandered to the night he was poisoned. It had been six very long months. He was starting to lose hope that he would ever find the men in black. But then the image of Ran swam into his mind and he knew that he couldn't give up. But it was so hard, wanting something that felt so far out of reach.
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like to be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of braking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what its like
Welcome to my life
Conan slowly moved one of his hands from under his chin and stared at it. All he could think about was how small it was. He picked up his small hand and removed his glasses so that he could rub his eyes. Instead of putting them back on, however, he set them down next to him on the bed. The rain continued to pour down harder as Conan looked away from his glasses and back to the window.
Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside your bleeding
Conan looked back down to his glasses. His mask. He thought about the night when he had first used them to disguise himself from Ran. The first night of no longer being Kudo Shinichi, but instead Edogawa Conan. He felt his eyes get watery, but refused to let himself cry. He had to be strong; if not for himself, then for Ran. He wiped away the tears threatening to fall down his small cheeks. He pressed his forehead against the window and continued to force his tears of pain and despair back into his eyes.
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like to be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
The rain continued to pour harder and harder as the window grew colder against the small boy's forehead. Conan gave a large sigh as he lifted his head away from the window and placed his chin back into his small hands. After staring at nothing for a few minutes, he got up and started pacing around his room. He thought about the one time he had returned to his normal body thanks to a drink he had been given. He had given name of the drink to Dr. Agasa explaining what had happened with increased hopes. But tonight, he had almost no hope. He wanted nothing more than to hold Ran in his arms, Shinichi's arms, and tell her how he felt, in Shinichi's voice.
You might think I'm happy but it's not gonna be okay
You don't know what it' like
What it's like
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
But no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
All of a sudden, a loud clash of thunder snapped Conan from his pacing and thoughts. He hadn't even noticed the storm come in until just then. Along with the clash of thunder, he heard the sound of a chair being pushed on the floor for just a second. 'Ran' he thought as his heart slowly started to beat at its normal pace again. Conan quickly put his glasses back on and started walking towards Ran's room. 'She must be missing Shinichi' he thought to himself sadly as he approached her door. He slowly pushed it open, making a small creaking sound. He pushed his head through the small space he had made and watched as Ran slowly walked towards him.
"Why are you up so late Conan?" Ran asked him. He saw her trying to hide her tears and felt his heart twist painfully. He quickly came up with an excuse to Ran's question.
"The thunder woke me up and made me nervous," he said trying to smile. He could tell that Ran didn't believe him and was relieved when she didn't ask any questions. He walked with her across the room and sat in her lap by the window. He could feel himself slowly dozing off now that the rain wasn't coming down so hard, and his heart didn't feel quite so heavy.
Welcome to my life.
As Conan was drifting off, he felt Ran's chin lean gently on the top of his head. He smiled, knowing that he wasn't alone. And until he found that cure, Ran would be waiting for him. With a lighter heart, and new-found hope, he was slowly lulled to sleep along with Ran, knowing that he was never alone, and that he never would be.
Welcome to my life.
MD: Well? What you guys think? It took me forever to come up with this. A heck of a lot longer then the other one. Maybe it's because the song was longer.
Conan: Ya think?!
MD: Yeah yeah. I get it. Anyways, it is now time to…. drum roll respond to the reviews!!! Wheeee!
TomikoChan: Thank you so much for the kind words. It really meant a lot. I was so nervous that no one would read my fanfiction. Thanks again! And I hope you continue to enjoy the rest of my work!
MD: Conan wants to respond to this one, right Conan?
Conan: Yeah! This reviewer actually mentioned me!
MD: Ha ha. Alright then, you can respond.
Silver Sky Magician: Thanks for mentioning me! We are quite an interesting pair aren't we? Thanks for the support. MD says that it was because of you that she put this chapter in. So thanks again from both of us. I hope you keep enjoying all of MD's work.
MD: Thanks again o kind reviewers. You're support was really really appreciated!
Conan: And please R&R again for this chapter so that MD and I can find what to correct and improve upon so that you guys will enjoy it more.
MD: Yes! Constructive criticism is defiantly wanted! But please no flames. It's hard to cook ramen with only flames and no stove.
Conan: No kidding, but I still can't believe you tried…
MD: By the way Conan... you know that I would never have given you a bad ending right? I was only joking to get you to do the disclaimer.
Conan: I'm gonna kill you...
MD: Well anyways. Ttfn!
Conan: Ta ta for now! OOOOO MMMMMDDDDDDDDD!!! I owe you a good smack on the head!!!
MD: O.O meep... RUN!!!!!
