Heiji walked with a slightly bored expression on his face. He was still in denial of what he had heard. After all, everyone miss hears once in a while. Heck, Tokugawa almost lost a war cause his messenger miss heard. Yeah that must be it. Isn't it? He sunk his head into the collar of his jacket and swallowed.

'She should be almost done with her preparations now and if I know her then she should be right…' turns his head, 'here.' He finished as he stopped in front of a salon. It was a large building of two windows which showed a few manikins and hair products on partial display. An automatic door that emitted a hew of structural gel and shampoo each time it opened. It was one of those salons where only women and gay men worked at and where only women and gay men went to.

Hattori stuttered as he motioned to the door. Making sure no one he knew was around one last time, he drew in his breath and marched through the door.

"Irasshyaimase!" two girls bowed as he entered.

"Ooo, I say," a man skipped to him and placed his index finger on Heiji's chest, "You're nice and quite tough might I add," he giggled, "but thariouthly sough. Something hath to be done about that thtyle of yours ewee," he said as he plucked at the teen's hair.

"No thank you, I'm fine," Heiji took a step back and forced out an uncomfortable smile.

"Oh come now, I won't bite…hard," the hairdresser squealed and began to look at the young teen from head to toe, "Oh yes….OH YES….I can work with this, I can work with this just fine," he said in a sexy intrigued tone, "I can make you fabulous dear."

Heiji continued to step back until he realized that his back was against the wall.

"Oh I like you, you're nice and a timid one at that," the man put his hands together and raised his eyebrows.

"Um…Uh…"

"Heiji, what the heck are you doing here," a voice jumped into his ears as he snapped his head to the direction.

"Ka..Kazuha! Hey! How you doing!" he said gratefully and ran to the way of the voice as he gave a short bow to the man.

"Darn, already taken, and he was so cute too," the man muttered as he snapped his finger.

"What are you doing here?" Kazuha asked.

"This is why I don't come here," Heiji said looking back, "Few more seconds and I would have smacked the guy's head open. But anyways (his head turns to Kazuha) I just came to…WAHHHHHH!"

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"I've never seen so many guys turn their heads to us before," Ran whispered blushing.

"Hey, it was your idea to dress up like a prostitute," Sonoko laughed.

"Will you stop calling me that! This is nothing like a prostitute."

"You're right, you're still missing the cigarette, the fishnet stockings and the heavy eye shadows. You think we should…"

"No!"

"Alright alright, It was just a suggestion," Sonoko backed off. "Hey Ran," she said quietly.

"What is it?"

"I wonder what Shinichi-kun would think of you if he saw you right now."

(Conan in pursuit)

A loud swallow rang through the small boy's throat as he ran through the possibilities of what Ran had said earlier. For once, he wished that he wasn't so creative in thinking. He didn't raise his head unless he absolutely needed to check where the girls had gone to. Atleast, he dared not look at Ran in her outfit after hearing words like that. The occasional glances would follow the thoughts, 'Wow' then, 'mmm…' and finally, ' No NO! I'm a good boy, I'm a good boy, I'm a good boy.'

(Agasa Household)

It was another boring afternoon as two figures went on, busy with their own doings. Only small conversations went by that would fall silent right after the reply returned.

"Who would have guessed, right in our very own neighborhood," the old professor sighed as he dropped a few purple liquid into the flask and twirled it.

"Hmmm," Ai replied quietly with a slightly interested tone.

Silence…

"It's just not right,"

"Hmmm,"

"Maybe I'm just old but I just don't see what's so 'cool' and 'hip' about things like this."

"Hmmm,"

"Guess I'm just conservative,"

"Hmmm,"

"Are you even listening to me?"

"Hmmm?" Ai looked over questioningly.

"Never mind…" the professor laughed in a fake tone.

"Hmmm," Ai returned her focus to the computer.

"No respect to the elderly," the professor mumbled. The flask in his hand suddenly gave a violent shake before a small fracture formed on it's surface. The words, "uh oh," were the only words that the old tubby scientist could manage before a large blast of smoke shot from the flask, into his face, tinting his cheeks with in a shade of purple as though he was a sideshow in a circus.

'and he says I don't give him enough respect,' Ai thought and gave a sigh and a small giggle.

Ai walked up the stairs, holding her empty coffee mug and her usual poker face. Her eyes fell upon the calendar that hung to the side. 'Hmm, today's March 31 already? Time sure flies…March…31…Maybe I should…nah…' she shook her head and dismissed the thought before continued to the kitchen.

(Osaka)

"Ka…Ka…Ka…"Heiji chocked as he looked upon the girl's new style.

"What, do you like it? I wanted to try something different for this date," Kazuha replied with a bright smile.

"Ka…Ka…" Heiji continued to stare with his jaw dropped to the floor.

"What, you don't like it? You'd think after the 5hours time I spent doing this and you can't even say a, 'you look nice,' or something," Kazuha pouted, "Fine be that way. I got to get going or I'm going to be late for my date, later." She waved and walked out the door.

It took the Osaka detective a few moments to collect himself after his eyes followed the girl out the door. "H..Hold on, Ka..Kazuha!" he called and ran out after her.

(Detective Agency)

'Homosexuality may be hereditary,' he thought as he sat nervously in his seat.

"Kisaki-senpai! Wait up," a voice of a girl called from below.

Kogorou's eyes widened as shifted himself to view the outside.

"Hurry up," Eri put her hands to her waist agitatedly.

"Kisaki-senpai, are you sure we should have went this way?" the girl asked. From the window, Kogorou could see a girl, possibly just under her 30s, running to catch up. Her long hair came halfway down her back, just above the slender waist. She wore a business blazer with a short cut skirt which came just above her knees and a pair of short high heels that brought her up to Eri's height.

"What do you mean?" Eri asked.

"Isn't that the husband you're always talking about, the one you never want to see?"

"Kasumi, that is my problem, not yours," Eri announced angrily, "Besides, around this time, his usually off to a bar drinking.

"But if he finds out that you were really…" Kasumi said but was cut off before she could finish.

"I told you to not talk about that! He doesn't know about it and he don't have to know about it until I tell him!" Eri hushed.

"Sorry ma'am," Kasumi shut her mouth and the two continued on their way.

Sweat ran like a waterfall down the old detective's face as he lined himself against the wall. His mouth was stuck on a gasp and his face turning blue. His pupils drew inward and his body quivered as he tried to force out a smile.

After a few moments of settling down, he sat back into his chair. 'This is not possible, this is NOT happening. She can't be, I mean we…and then Ran…yeah she can't be…can she? (Long silence) I wonder if that's why she left me…' With one violent shake, he drank the beer that still remained in the can he had opened earlier with one chug.

(Shizuoka)

The day was getting longer so the sun could still be seen in the distant skies. The few clouds that swam above began to change in darker shades. Ran waited underneath the clock by the train station of where she got off and checked the time. There was still 5 minutes before show time. Sonoko walked with her to the station back in Beika city but did not come with her under Ran's request and a few short moments of arguing. Near by, a small park sat quietly as the kids left for home for their evening meals. She could see the shadowy figure of a small boy and two beady eyes looking her way through the wall of the park, made by bushes. Ran giggled, 'his good at finding but when it comes to hiding, he still has much to learn.

Kazuha sat quietly, looking out the window of the train. She couldn't see Heiji but she knew he was watching her. After 17years, you begin to know things about the other person without them telling you.

"Shizuoka, Shizuoka," the announcement came on as the train entered the station.

'It's show time," Kazuha smirked and got off the train.

'Something's up and I'm going to find out what that something is,' the two detectives thought. A loud gulp echoed in the two's throat as one followed and the other waited. There's no turning back for both genders.

On your marks
