Chapter eleven
Surprise Meeting…With Aoko…
"I guess I'll go to the wedding," Aoko thought, picking up the letter that she had thrown onto the table.
"I HAVE TO GET A DRESS!" she exclaimed, jumping off the couch, and picking up her purse on the way out the door.
…With Kazuha…
"Heiji, I'll be back in a couple of hours. Ran wants me to pick up my bridesmaid dress. By the way, do you have a white tuxedo? Ran wants you to be a groomsman for Kaito," Kazuha explained.
"White?" Heiji questioned, "But I look better in black!"
"I know, but Kaito wants white, and it is his wedding!" argued Kazuha, "You can't have everything you want, Heiji!"
"…I have a white suit, I've just never worn it before…" Heiji sighed.
"Well, that's all you had to say," Kazuha said, leaving Heiji to stare after her, as she left the room.
…With Aoko…
"Hm, maybe I could go to Kaito before the wedding, and pronounce my love to him? No, that won't work; he already knows I love him, doesn't he? I could go to the church before the wedding actually starts, and trash everything there…" Aoko mumbled to herself, as she walked to the bridal store.
"Um, excuse me, I couldn't help, but overhear what you were saying, when you said Kaito and trash the wedding," a young woman, whom seemed to be around 18-years old, with her brown hair in a ponytail, held up by a pink ribbon said.
"Oh, yes, well…" Aoko trailed off.
"Sorry, I'm being impolite, my name is Toyama Kazuha, and I just wanted to know if you were talking about Kaito Kuroba's wedding?" the girl, known as Kazuha asked, looking intently at Aoko.
"Yes, I was, and my name's Nakamori Aoko," Aoko said.
"Nice to meet you, are you looking for a dress to wear to the wedding?" Kazuha asked.
"Yes," Aoko answered, "You, too, I presume?"
"Uh huh, I'm thinking something maybe pink, purple, or midnight blue! Maybe we can dress alike!" Kazuha suggested, as the two girls walked into the bridal store.
"Alright!" Aoko agreed.
…Inside the bridal store…
"Hello, how may I help you?" a woman with blonde hair asked, walking up to Aoko and Kazuha.
"We're looking for two bridesmaid dresses, and we want the color to either be pink, purple, or midnight blue," Kazuha explained.
"Alright, follow me, please," the blonde saleswoman said, leading the girls to the middle of the store.
……
"How about this one?" the woman asked, holding up a frilly, pink dress.
"NO!" Aoko quickly objected, turning to look at Kazuha, since she didn't say anything.
"How do you like this, Aoko?" Kazuha asked, holding up a silky dress that went from pink at the top, to light purple in the middle, to dark purple at the bottom.
"That's beautiful!" Aoko exclaimed, gawking at the dress.
"But that wouldn't look good on me…" she trailed off.
"Nonsense!" Kazuha argued.
"May we try these on?" she asked the saleswoman, politely.
"Of course, its all the way in the back of the store, and to your left," the lady smiled, as the two young girls thanked her, and went to the back of the store.
…..
"Okay, you try it on first, and I'll tell you how it looks!" Kazuha ordered, pushing Aoko and the dress into the dressing room.
……
"…" Aoko sighed, as she took off her clothes, and put on the beautiful dress.
……
"How do I look?" Aoko asked, coming out 5 minutes later.
"You look great! Tell me how I look, ok?" Kazuha said, now taking her turn in the dressing room.
……
"TADA!" she exclaimed, coming out of the dressing room.
"You look fantastic! Now, let's change back, and pay for these!" Aoko suggested.
"Alright," Kazuha agreed.
…With Ran and Kaito…
"Ran, are you almost ready?" Kaito asked, knocking on the said girl's hotel room door, "We'll be leaving in 30 minutes!"
"OK!" Ran said.
…With Aoko and Kazuha…
"I guess I'll see you at the wedding tomorrow, Kazuha. It was nice meeting you!" Aoko smiled.
"You too, hey, why don't you come with me? You could help my friends and I with our plan to destroy the wedding!" Kazuha suggested excitedly.
"I suppose…" Aoko agreed, hesitantly, after she and the other girl paid for their dresses.
"Great, then let's go, I'll call Shinichi, so he can meet up with us and Heiji at my hotel room!" Kazuha exclaimed, dragging Aoko behind her.
…With Ran and Kaito…
"Kaito, I'm ready," Ran said, shyly, opening her bedroom door.
"You
look…nice," Kaito commented, as he looked at Ran, whom was
dressed in spaghetti strapped, baby blue dress, with baby blue high
heels.
"Thank you," Ran said, as she followed Kaito to the
limousine outside.
……
"Where are we going to eat?" Ran asked the young man sitting beside her, curiously.
"To an Italian Restaurant, called the Olive Garden," Kaito answered, when suddenly the limo stopped, and Kaito got out.
"We're here already?" Ran asked, when Kaito opened the door for her.
"Yes, we're here," he answered, leading her inside the restaurant.
"Sir, do you have a reservation?" a woman dressed in a knee-length black skirt and a white blouse asked.
"Yes, I have a reservation under Kuroba," Kaito replied, as the woman flipped through some pages in a small, black notebook.
"Right this way, please," the woman said, closing the notebook, and leading the couple away to a darkened corner, where a candle was lit on the center of the table.
"A waiter will be with you shortly," she said, and left.
……
"Kaito, why did you bring me out to eat tonight?" Ran questioned.
"So, we could get to know each other, before our wedding," Kaito replied, looking at the brunette in front of him.
"Oh…" Ran trailed off, when a tall man, with short, brown hair stood in front of their table.
"My name is Chris, and I'll be your waiter tonight," the man said, "Now, what can I get you two to drink?"
"A glass of red wine for the both of us," Kaito said, before Ran could answer, "Is that ok with you?"
"Yes," Ran said.
"Are you ready to order? Or do you want to wait a little longer?" Chris asked.
"I'm ready," Ran said.
"I am, too," Kaito said, handing Chris the menu, "Ran, you go first."
"Thank you, I would like the Shrimp Scampi, and instead of Salad, I would like the Zuppa Toscana," Ran said.
"And you, sir?" Chris asked, after writing down Ran's order.
"The Chicken Scampi with salad," Kaito said.
……
"…Kaito, why is that you were looking for a wife?" Ran asked, boldly.
"So, that I can take over the Black Organization," Kaito said, "Now, why is it that you wanted me, to return your boyfriend back to normal, if you knew you had to marry me, and wouldn't be able to be with the man you love?"
"Because Shinichi shouldn't have to stay in the body of a child," Ran said, "He is free to love whom he wants, since now we know, it wasn't meant for us to be!" Kaito was shocked at her response but did not show it, only remaining silent.
"…But by doing this aren't you just marrying a woman that you don't love or even know? Why not just wait and fall in love with someone?" Ran asked back.
"I already had someone, a childhood friend of mine. Though, we got into an argument, so I held the ball, you were the only one there who caught my interest, even though, I was hoping my friend would be there, but… I didn't see her. I picked you, because you look like her," Kaito explained, a small smile grazing his features.
"You look like Shinichi, a little too!" Ran smiled, "I just realized that!"
"Maybe, I could get your friend to talk to you, maybe she's just nervous, or thinks that you really don't like her more than a friend," Ran said.
"And…what if she wants to marry me?" Kaito asked, looking intently at Ran.
"Then, I could go back to Shinichi, that is if you let him stay as Shinichi, instead of going back to Conan. And if she doesn't want to marry you, I will!" Ran declared.
"Deal!" Kaito smiled, a true smile, as he shook Ran's hand, and the two laughed.
"What is your friend's name?" Ran questioned.
"Nakamori Aoko, and her hotel is called the Tokyo Crystal Inn," Kaito said.
"That's where my friend, Kazuha is staying. Do you think Aoko will still be awake when we leave?" Ran asked.
"We'll leave here around 9pm, so we'll be there around 9:30pm, so she'll be up," Kaito said, "Though, everyone thinks I'm marrying you!"
"You said Aoko looks like me? But how much?" Ran asked.
"You're pretty smart, Aoko could pretend to be you, ad no one would know, but us, and it makes it even better that I didn't tell anyone in the organization your name!" Kaito smirked, as he and Ran got their food.
"Boss, did you hear that?" a man asked, watching the two teenagers from his seat.
"I heard," another man, dressed all in black said.
…Aoko and Kazuha…
"Hey, this is the hotel I'm staying in!" Aoko exclaimed.
"Really? What room?" Kazuha asked.
"217, and you?" Aoko asked.
"220, we're pretty close together, well, let's go, so Shinichi and Heiji can settle out our plan tonight," Kazuha said, opening the door to her hotel room, which cause Shinichi and Heiji to look up, from their spot on the couch.
