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]

Cora yawned and stretched her legs. 'My human isn't back yet?' She leapt down from her cat tower and landed elegantly on her paws. She padded over to her automatic water and food bowls, taking sips of water and eating a few bites of her food. 'I think I'll head over to see what Taii's doing and maybe grab some food too,'

Cora walked through the pet door that Haru had installed in the back door and made her way through the streets and to Café Poirot. "Taii!"

"Cora!" Taii exited the alley he was in. "You're just in time! Azusa's got breakfast!"

"I know," Cora sat down near the entrance. "That's why I didn't eat a lot of the cat food at home. Have you seen my human?"

"I heard that he was going on a trip," Taii said.

"He didn't bring anything with him," Cora pointed out. "And yesterday he told me that he'd be back tonight. It's past tonight and now it's morning again,'

"Taii-chan, Cora-chan," Azusa set the two plates of food down, having seemingly known that Cora would come to the café that morning. "Oh, Cora-chan I bet you're wondering where Haru-kun is. Conan-kun called me earlier to tell me that Haru-kun's at the hospital again,"

"My human gets hurt a lot," Cora sighed and started to eat.

"He'll be able to leave this afternoon," Azusa gently petted both of the felines. "Thankfully it wasn't as bad as when he was shot while camping,"

"Stupid human, always getting into dangerous situations," Cora mumbled.

"I think Haru's really cool," The kitten told her.

"There's a difference between stupid and cool," Cora reminded and finished up her meal. "Ah, that hit the spot,"

"Are you gonna see Haru?" Taii asked.

"I'm taking a nap," Corazon curled up and started to snooze away.

"But…didn't you just wake up before coming here?" Taii's question was ignored in favor of sleeping.

Cora woke up about two hours later and started to groom herself. She also helped Taii groom himself since he was still a young kitten. She took a drink from the water bowl Azusa had set out for them and started to leave. Taii bounded after her.

"Taii, why do you insist on following me?" Cora asked.

"Because you're going to see Haru, right?" Taii asked. "You're following his scent trail,"

"What if I was just scouting my territory?" Cora pointed out.

"Your territory is around your house and the Haibara's house," Taii grinned. "You're not headed in that direction. Also, you're sniffing around as you walk so you're following a trail. It's probably Haru's,"

"I guess hanging around those detective kids paid off," Cora chuckled at Taii's deductions. "I don't think we should head to the hospital where my human's at. He'll be home in a few hours anyway,"

"Why do you call him your human?" Taii inquired. "Why not just call him Haru?"

Cora paused in walking and thought back to the days when she was a street cat just like Taii. However, the difference was that when she was a kitten, she didn't have anyone loving like Azusa to always feed her. She had to dig through trashcans to try to find something to eat, nearly starving to death.

When a man had picked her up, she thought that she found herself an owner. But the man didn't seem to be all that interested in her. He just tossed some scraps for her to eat while he was working on something. Once he was done, he placed her in a small, pink container and brought her to an unknown place.

It had been terrifying. She couldn't see anything and barely had any place to move, though it was only a few steps. She meowed loudly and pawed at the door, wishing to be free. For a long time, nobody heard her. The only company she had was the device in the container with her, ticking softly while its screen was slightly change constantly.

She tried to take a nap to pass time, but the loud ticking of the device kept her awake. She had suddenly felt the container being lifted and after what seemed like an eternity, the door opened. The first face she saw had been Haru. She meowed happily but was cut off when she was placed in a smaller human's arms before Haru rushed away.

She had been confused as to why Haru left but after a couple minutes, the boy brought her to a large place that smelled clean. The humans had called it a "hospital." The boy carried her until they reached where Haru was. There were other small humans by Haru's side. The small humans were nice and played with her.

When Haru woke up, it was his turn to play with her. Haru had given her the name Corazon. He had brought her home and treated her differently from the man who had trapped her in the pink container. Haru gave her lots of yummy food, clean water, and hugs and pets. She was given her own cat tower that overlooked Haru's bed as well as several toys that entertained her.

"Why do I call him my human?" Corazon smiled. "Because that's what Haru is. Haru is my human,"

"Eh?" Taii gave her a confused look.

"Come on kitten, let's go," Cora said. "I'll teach you how to hunt,"

This was a chapter showcasing Cora and Taii. Cora is older than Taii who is still a kitten. She sees Taii as a younger brother. I know, it's kinda weird for cats to comprehend human speech but just roll with it. This is a buffer chapter so it doesn't rush from case to case.

What do you guys imagine as Haru and Cognac's voices?
I imagine Haru with Trafalgar Law's voice and Cognac with Hichigo Shirosaki's voice.

I changed the cover of this fic. The top part of the circle is Cognac and a shark. Why a shark? Because Cognac was based on one of my previous OCs, Makito S. Hiro, who was based on Hozuki Suigetsu from Naruto Shippuden. Suigetsu has sharp shark-like teeth and reminded me of a shark. The bottom half of the circle is Haru and a snow leopard. Why a snow leopard? Because he has a pet cat and I love snow leopards. Also because a snow leopard is what Trafalgar Law's animal figurine is.

The way I drew Akai was based on that scene where he glared at the fake cops who had kidnapped James. Apparently without the shadows and the way I drew him, he looks like he's having evil thoughts about the shark in Cognac's half of the circle. I can imagine this scene going on:
Akai: Hey Haru, we're having sushi for dinner.
Haru: What?
Akai: There's this shark—
Cognac: STAY THE **** AWAY FROM SHARKY!
Akai's Thoughts: That makes me want to eat that shark even more!
