"Shingo Here" Shingo answeres.

"Tsukino, what's you status in Chinatown?" Sato Comanded.

"Well it seems that the Kuze gang was very large in Yokohama." Shingo Replyed as he was still walking. "The people I talked to said that they oringinated in Hong Kong but during the occupation in World War II they moved to Japan, so they can extort people who was fleeing form the country during the Bombing ofOsaka."

"..But in the 1980's during the Economic boom, They seem to faded into a disorganized thugs." Takagi added in. "That was the sad fate of a once powerful gang."

How long has it been since he left? almost a year...but it was also a year ago that Conan came to her life.. She loved Shinichi and Conan. But Conan isn't like other children...he's much like Shinchi. He's able to notice little things that others had missed. She thought that Conan was Shinichi..but she was proven worng twice. But Conan had filled alittle spot that Shinichi had left. Then someone tapped on her shoulders, Ran tirned around.

"Hey, Ran. What's worng?" Sonoko asked trying not to be seen by the teacher.

"Oh nothing" Ran brushed off as she was duing her work.

"Well, do you think I have a chance with Kaoru Nagisa" Sonoko pointing to a greyhaired teen. Ran looking across the classroom. "With the those sexy red eyes"

"He looks like a albino bunny" Ran obsevered. "What about Motoko?"

"Oh him" Sonoko reaching for her cell phone. She was texting him. Then they was caught by the teacher.

"Miss. Mouri, please explain what is a Stand Alone Complex" The teacher hissed.

"Oh Stand Alone Complex?" Ran asked as she was trying to remeber what the teacher said.

"Sir a Stand Alone Complex..is a term used to describe copies with no original. It's portrayed by copycats with no original criminal." A grey haired student looked up to the teacher. His name was Kaoru Nagisa the "newphew" of Keel Lorenz. "..in other words, an imaginary criminal"

"Very good Mr. Nagisa" The teacher camplemented him. Then He continued with the lesson. Kaoru looked at Ran nad winked at her. Ran blushed...

"Kudo..if you don't want you identiy being found out. I'll sugest you pay attention" Ai sugested. "Or seem to pay attention."

"Hey, I've already took this grade ten years ago." Conan snapped back.

"Ok" Ai Struged off.

"Hey Ai" Conan recalling what his mother siad to him.

"What?" Ai writing her notes down.

"Have you heard of a term "Ghost in the shell?"

"Nothing..nothing at all."

"Hey are you talking about ghost stories?" Amy butted in.

"No Amy..we were not talking about Ghost Stories" Conan said Calmly.

"Oh Speaking of which..Everyone is talking about the Ninja terrorist that sunk that boat in Osaka..." Amy cahnge the subject.

"A ninja?" Ai had already knew that a Ninja was resposible for sinking the Tanker...Police even made connections with the disapearance of Kamina and the assault in the Hiroki buliding. But no one claim responsiblity...

"Well I don't think that there are any ninjas around anymore" Mitsuhiko stated. "They went with the samurai"

"I'll bet if they were Ninja" Genta busted in. "Masked Yaiba whould take car of him"

"Speaking of Masked Yaiba..are going to watch it at Souta's house?" Mitsihiko asked.

"Well he still hadn't forgot it...Remember that bet he lost.." Genta remined them.

"Oh yeah he has to host..." Amy agreed. "even though Kagome is sick"

Too bad for Souta. He dosen't even like Maked Yaiba Conan thought to himself. I wonder how Kagome is doing?" Conan thought as he looked out he window.

Sixteen year ago.

Two women were on the elevator, a young one and a older one. The elevator stopped and the older one came to the younger one and wisper something in her ear. The youner one punched the older one and pulled out a gun. She dropped the gun..Then the older one screamed the younder one's name...

"YUI!"

Then The older one had shot her out of the elevator. Yui was falling to the ground. That was almost sixteen years ago..

Then a young man woke up in his room. His name is Shiji Ikari, age fifteen. He's been haunted by his memories. But the thing is he suffers from amnesia, he lost his memory since her was twelve years old. During that time he's been living in his apartment with no parents.

"Shinji Ikari..wake up or we'll going to be late" A redheaded girl screamed at him. "You do this everytime at our old school back home"

"Shut up" Shinji said streching. The hotheaded little girl is named Asuka Shoryu. Like Shinji she too lost her memories. The Child care sevices had put them together. They have been living together ever since, but their relationship never elevolved. So shinji washes up and put on his school uniform then him and Asuka left out of the armpartment. Then another of thier friends was waiting for them..Her name was Rei Ayanami. Unlike them she had a normal life...She was starying at guarindian's house just near where Shinji and Asuka lived.

"What took ya?" Rei was waiting for them inpactiently.

"It Shinji's fault" Asuka blame Shinji. Shinji Stared at her.

"You were the one that had me up last night." Shinji barked back.

"Ok..Mr. and Mrs Ikari. If we argue any longer we are going to be late for School." Rei walked off then then they followed.

"So where is this new school anyway?" Shinji asked.

"Well it's at (truck drives by). But I'am glad they tranfered us to it though" Asuka said.

"Yeah me too.." Shinji added "I was getting tired of the old one"

Then they went to the nonorail that passed through Shinjuku. The line was hanging on wires they was at less eleven stories high. Then they saw glumpise of the Artificial Islands.

"Asuka look" Shinji trying to Asuka's attention. Then Asuka Turned around and saw the mian 105 story bulidng NERV.

"Oh That's the Artificial Islands" Asuka said looking out the window.

"I've hear it's called Tokyo-2 The second capital" Rei stated. "The NERV buliding is the certer of it all."

"All the rails and water system centers around it" Shinji added. "They basiclly own the Island"

Then they arrived at their stop. They took the bus over to the high school Then they saw someone driving a Jaguar recklessly. Asuka called that person an idiot. Then They inside the school. Students flood the hallways. Then Asuka bumped into a girl

"Oh Sorry" The apologized.

"That's ok"Asuka said.

"Oh I forgot..my name is Kagome...Kaogme Higurashi." Introduce Kagome.

"Kagome..I've heard that name before" Shinji was thinking the Name Kagome.

"Hey aren't one of the Miss-outs in Tokyo?" Rei asked.

"Miss-outs?" Kagome hadn't hear that term before.

"Yeah you one of the top two" Asuka added.

"Top two?" Shinji asked.

"Yeah It's her and another..a high schooler." Rei said. "His name is Shinichi Kudo a Tantei"

"THE Shinichi Kudo?" Asuka and Shinji was shocked at what Rei said to them. Then the bell ringed for them to come inside.

"Raise..bow..sit down"
