Mitsuharu
Title: Mitsuharu
Rating: T
Fandom: Detective Conan
Summary: There were only three kids of the Akai Family, right? There was no way that Masumi had a third older brother. So why the hell were these people calling him Akai Mitsuharu? More importantly, how the hell was he even alive!? [OC Insert as Akai Sibling]
My name is Michael Leo Field, or at least it used to be. I'm originally from another world, the real world where Detective Conan is just a manga series by Aoyama Gosho. When I got home from school one day, my house was on fire and my parents were trapped inside. Without thinking, I rushed in but by then, my parents were already dead. I walked into my room and picked up Detective Conan Volume 37. As I died, I uttered my last words. "Hey, I've seen a lot of stories where people die and are reborn into another world. Send me into an anime or manga,"
When I opened my eyes again, I had been reborn Akai Mitsuharu, the third son of Akai Tsutomu and Akai Mary! That made Akai Shuichi was my older brother! Two years after my birth, Dad went missing and our family moved to Japan. Pierrot-nii moved to the US to become an FBI Agent. I soon gained a little sister, Masumi.
Years went by and the Akai Family started to separate even more. Shukichi started his journey to achieve all seven titles. Mom and Masumi moved back to England. I moved in with Shinichi, got a job at Café Poirot, and have lived in Beika ever since. Shinichi still ended up shrinking and becoming Edogawa Conan.
I never told anyone that this was my second life. There's no way that they'd believe me. Hell, they'd think I was crazy and probably send me to an insane asylum. I don't remember every single case so I'm not really of any use if I went with Conan to all the cases. I do clearly remember the cases that involve the organization because I constantly rewatched those. I'm just afraid of altering the plot too much. Besides, if I interfere with the organization's plans they might try to eliminate me and I sure as hell am not strong enough to survive their wrath.
My goal is to continue surviving and hopefully, one day, I can meet Dad again. Shuichi had a point when he said that Dad's body was never found. I know that it's unlikely that he is still alive since his enemy was the organization, a formidable foe capable of disposing of corpses, but I want to hold onto that sliver of hope that he is still alive.

"ACHOO!" Haru scrunched the used tissue into a ball and tossed it into the overflowing trashcan. 'Damn, I wish I was reborn a Gary Stu. I'd be overpowered and never get sick. But I guess I can't be a choosing beggar since I was given a second life. I better call Azusa and tell her that I won't be coming in,'
"Haru, are you home?" Yusaku's voice rang throughout the hallway.
"Yeah," Haru weakly called back.
A couple seconds later, his bedroom door opened. "Haru-chan are you alright?" Yukiko asked.
"Yeah," Haru coughed into his hand. "Just a little sick. I'm surprised that you guys are home. Aren't you busy avoiding editors?"
"Professor Agasa told us about Shinichi's situation," Yusaku replied. "We're here to make sure Shinichi knows how much danger he's in,"
'What episode was this? Bleh, I can't think straight since I'm so sick,' Haru thought. "I take it that you're gonna disguise as crows?"
"Crows?" Yukiko questioned. "Haru-chan, what do you mean by crows?"
"They wear black to resemble crows," Haru, due to being sick, didn't realize that he was giving information away. "Their higher ranked agents have alcoholic codenames,"
"Mitsuharu," Yusaku's tone was much more serious than usual. "Where did you get this information?"
"They killed my cousin, Kohji," Haru claimed. The Haneda Family had been close enough so Kohji was practically a cousin. "My brother's an FBI Agent investigating them,"
"Haru-chan, get some rest," Yukiko told him. "I'll go and make some soup. You can eat it when you wake up,"

Haru woke up a couple hours later and saw Yukiko, Yusaku, Professor Agasa, and Conan in the living room. "Then why don't you leave this dangerous country and come back overseas with us to live a safe, carefree life?" Yusaku asked Conan. "Of course, Haru-kun is welcome to come along,"
"That's right, Shin-chan," Yukiko knelt down to her son's height. "We did this to make you understand what a dangerous situation you're in!"
"And if we were those men, you'd be on your way to the afterlife right now," Yusaku added, playfully pointing his finger gun at Conan's forehead. "I've got friends in Interpol who I can ask to search for this organization. When they get that drug, you'll be able to get your old body back. This'll be the end of your dangerous detective game,"
"No!" Conan refused. "This is my case! I'm going to solve it! Don't get involved! And besides…there's other reasons why I have to stay in Japan!" 'Ran…'
"Are you willing to risk it all?" Haru asked. "My cousin was killed by those people. My father is currently missing, most likely dead, because of them. My family was forced to leave our home country for our own safety,"
"Haru…" Conan stared at him in shock, having never known that about his childhood friend.
"I lived a pretty ordinary life," Haru continued. "I made friends, got a job, and am attending Touto University. You can choose to pursue your investigations and endanger yourself and your loved ones, or you can flee and live out the rest of your days in peace,"
"Peace?" Conan scoffed. "I won't be living my days in peace as long as the organization is still around! I'll continue hunting them down even if it kills me!"
"Shinichi!" Yukiko exclaimed.
"He's full of determination," Yusaku noted. "Let him do as he wishes and if it gets too dangerous here, we'll take him back with us. Besides, it looks like Shinichi's got another reason to stay here," He smirked at the boy's crush on Ran.
"You'll probably have to pay Ran's old man to take Shin-kun back though," Haru told them. "He's been whining about him being a freeloader,"

"Ugh," Haru dumped the bags of letters onto the desk in the professor's house. "Shin-kun, your dad gets too many letters. Every day I have to sift through loads of letters to see if I have any mail. Since it's the weekend, you can help me sort them!" Yukiko and Yusaku had both left days ago, taking along with them the mail that had already been sorted.
"Kudo Yusaku," Conan tossed the ones addressed to his father into the box. "Kudo Yusaku-san," He tossed another handful into the box. "There are so many letters for Tou-san. I don't care how famous he is, he has too much mail,"
"I'm surprised Yukiko-san doesn't have as much as Yusaku-san since she's an actress," Haru commented. "If my mail wasn't amongst this mountain, I'd throw them all into the fire,"
"Hey, what about my mail?" Conan asked.
"I'd still burn it," Haru grinned. "If Yusaku-san is so rich, he should pay an assistant to handle the mail,"
"I haven't found any fan mail for me yet," Conan pouted. "I guess the world has forgotten about me then,"
"It's better that way," Haru told him. "That means they believe you're dead which means the organization also believes that you're dead,"
"Huh? This one is addressed to me," Conan turned the envelope around. "Moriya Teiji?" He broke the seal and took out the letter.
Please excuse this sudden letter. Lately I have heard much about your accomplishments as a high school detective through television and the papers and I would be honored to meet you. Thus, I invite you to an afternoon tea garden party at my residence this coming April 29th, Tuesday, at 3:30 PM, and directions are enclosed.
"Professor, you know Moriya Teiji, right?" Conan questioned.
"He's a professor of architecture at Touto University and he's a prominent architect in Japan," Professor Agasa informed.
"Haru, have you interacted with him?" Conan asked.
"I'm studying to become an engineer, not an architect," Haru reminded.
"Why does this Moriya guy want to meet me?" Conan pondered out loud.
"Well, an architect is also an artist," Professor Agasa pointed out. "Maybe he just wants some new inspiration,"
"Haru, can you go in my place?" Conan requested.
"No," Haru outright refused. "I'm not going to some stranger's house by myself. I don't want to end up dying,"
"There's no way anyone would invite a detective and then try to commit a crime," Conan said. "And I can't go while I'm a little kid,"
"Ask Ran and her father," Haru suggested. "Since Kogoro-ojisan is a detective, he'll be a great substitute. You can tag along as Conan too. I won't be going though. I'll be the only one serving at Café Poirot since Azusa's taking a day off,"
So this was the Conan Edogawa Kidnapping Case and the beginning of Movie 1: The Time-Bombed Skyscraper.
The beginning in italics is supposed to be like the movie intros. The Conan Edogawa Kidnapping Case was supposed to be its own chapter but I didn't have enough words for it. I prefer chapters being at least a thousand words long.
