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]

Jodie had dropped off both Shukichi and Akai to their respective apartments. Ran and the others visited Haru, bombarding him with worried lectures about how he was so reckless and that they were all just happy he was fine now. Both Genta and Mitsuhiko apologized for mocking Haru's fear of flames.

Once Haru was deemed fit enough to be able to leave the hospital, Sonoko decided to drag him, Ran, and Conan to an arcade. "Since Haru can't do anything too physically straining, this is a great way to be entertained,"

"Why's there a crowd over there?" Haru pointed at one of the shooting games. 'Wait a second…Is this the episode where Ran, Sonoko, and Conan first meet Jodie? Shuichi introduced Kichi and I to her while I was doing physical therapy. Since she's supposed to keep her identity as an FBI Agent a secret, I'll pretend that I don't know her,'

Ran and Sonoko approached her so Haru and Conan followed. "Jodie-sensei, why are you here at an arcade?"

"Mouri-san? Suzuki-san?" Jodie turned towards them. 'Is that Shuu's little brother with them? Oh no, he knows that I'm Shuu's colleague but I can't have him revealing that I'm an FBI Agent!'

"Huh? She's a teacher?"

"Isn't that a Teitan High School uniform?"

"She's a high school teacher!"

"No way!"

"No, no, no! They've got the wrong person!" Jodie lied, pushing the group away from the crowd.

"Ran, who is this?" Haru asked.

"Oh, she's our English teacher," Ran introduced.

'He's pretending that he doesn't know me. That's good,' Jodie decided to play along. "I'm Jodie Saintemillion,"

"Nice to meet you," Haru offered a handshake. "I'm Field Haru,"

"So Jodie-sensei, do you always come to this arcade after school?" Sonoko inquired. "What's so special about this arcade anyway?"

"Japanese video games are very beautiful and very exciting!" Jodie said, faking bad Japanese. "In America, Japanese games are very popular. You have to wait in long lines to play them, and you might not even get to play. That's why I came here to be an English teacher, so I can rejoice every day and play videogames! If the school found out, then it'd be the end. It's so hard for an American to find a job in Japan. So let's keep this our little secret, okay? Do you all want to play something more exciting? It's the number one fighting game,"

Jodie showed them the game Great Fighter Spirit. While Ran was playing, Haru decided to look for a different game. He wandered around for a bit and when he returned to Great Fighter Spirit, Jodie,Ran, Sonoko, and Conan weren't there. Instead, it was Bito Kengo who was in the seat Ran was previously in. He noticed Shimizu talking to Bito suspiciously. 'Wait, he's covering that guy's mouth and holding something in his other hand!'

Before Shimizu could prick Bito's arm with the needle, Haru grabbed his wrist. "Let go!" 'Of course there's going to be a murder! Conan's a corpse magnet! He can't have one outing without a crime happening!'

"I should be telling you that!" Shimizu exclaimed.

"Bastard!" Bito shouted, attracting everyone's attention. "You were trying to inject me with something! Someone let me out of these damn restraints!"

"Haru what's going on?" Ran asked.

Haru tightened his grip. "Let go of the poisoned needle!"

"Poisoned needle!?"

"Call the cops!" Haru ordered.

When the police arrived, several people were trying to restrain Bito from beating Shimizu up. After questioning everyone and looking at the evidence, Shimizu was arrested for attempted murder. "Haru-kun that was quick thinking of you to stop him but it was also dangerous," Inspector Megure scolded. "What if he had managed to stab you with the needle?"

"I've been told that I have a hero complex," 'I'm pretty sure a lot of dimensional travelers have a hero complex too,' Haru shrugged. "Besides, what if it was a fast acting poison? He could've been killed before the police arrived. I'm just grateful that I was able to prevent a murder," 'Though, after hearing Shimizu's motive I kinda wished I hadn't. That Bito guy's a jackass. If I had remembered the culprit's motive, I probably would have just let the murder happen,'

The group decided to leave, the attempted murder having spoiled the joyous mood. "So what shall we do now?"

"Well I think I'll go and play some shogi at my brother's place," Haru said.

"We'll walk you there," Ran suggested.

"Ran, I'm not that fragile," Haru rolled his eyes. "I got out of the hospital weeks ago and already finished most of my physical therapy,"

"Since Mouri-san is so worried about you, why don't I drive you to your brother's place?" Jodie offered.

"Sure," Haru agreed. "Less walking for me. And I mean that in a lazy sense, not a worried about my health sense,"

While Ran, Sonoko, and Conan went on their way, Jodie led Haru to the parking lot. Once they were both inside, Jodie finally spoke. "I take it that you understand that my identity as an FBI Agent has to be kept a secret?"

"Of course," Haru nodded. "I'm not an idiot. You guys are here for a reason. By the way, can you drop me off at my home instead? I lied about the shogi thing,"

"Why'd you lie?" Jodie inquired.

"Because those two girls kept on urging me to not be a couch potato, hence why I was dragged out to the arcade," Haru looked out the window. "Akai was following me, wasn't he?"

"No, I saw him head to work," Jodie shook her head.

"I thought I saw someone following Ran, Sonoko, Conan, and I as we headed to the arcade," Haru sighed. "I probably imagined it since I was so used to him following me like a shadow since I woke up from my coma,"

So that's the Battle Game Trap case. Was Haru imagining the person following him?

I'm not sure about Haru's theme song, but Cognac's is Alones by Aqua Timez.
