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]

"This was Okino Yoko's Four Minute Cooking Show," Yoko said to the camera. "Today's guest was the famous detective, Mouri Kogoro! See you next week!"

"Okay, going to commercial!" The director announced. "Good job!"

"You were awesome, Tou-san!" Ran commented.

"You were really impressive during the live broadcast," Yoko agreed.

"No, no, it was bad," Kogoro claimed.

'Hmm? Is his ego finally deflating?' Haru thought.

"Yoko-san, the noodles reacted to your exquisite beauty," Kogoro told the celebrity. "The Yoko-style soy sauce ramen I made swelled up this much," He held up his noodles with his chopsticks. "It's in a knock-down state,"

'Of course he's flirting with her,' Haru sighed.

"But it's great that Morning Live 7 happens to be on a national holiday," Ran told Conan and Haru. "We got to watch it live here,"

Conan and Haru's stomach let out a loud rumble. "We didn't eat breakfast yet…"

"If you're okay with it, why don't we eat together at the station's cafeteria?" Yoko offered.

"That's a great idea!" Kogoro accepted.

"Then please go on ahead," Yoko said. "I have a friend I'd like you to meet but I need to call her first,"

The three headed to the cafeteria and ordered some food. While they were eating, Yoko entered while pulling another woman along with her. Haru's eyes widened. 'Kir!? Why is Kir here!?'

"This is Mizunashi Rena, a newscaster," Yoko introduced.

"Nice to meet you," She bowed in greeting. "Hey Yoko-chan, are you really going to ask a famous detective about that?"

"It's okay!" Yoko told her. "I'm sure Mouri-san will be helpful! And Haru-kun here is also a detective, right?"

"No, no," Haru denied. "It's just a coincidence that I help solve cases. I've lived with Kudo Shinichi for a few years so his skills rubbed off onto me, though I'm nowhere near as great as him or Kogoro-ojisan,"

Rena explained her problem and the group decided to spend the night at her place. Haru noted Conan sticking a microphone and tracker near the door. 'Ah, I see now. The gum's going to fall and stick to Kir's shoe. This is Black Impact,'

The case was solved the next morning, revealing a little boy to be the culprit of the ding-dong dash. He wanted to wake Rena up so she could make it to Morning Live 7 tapings, not knowing that she had been transferred. Once he rang the doorbell, he hid behind the recycling. The four bade farewell to Rena. After they were a few blocks away, Conan realized that he had forgotten the bug at the apartment.

"I forgot something at Rena-san's place!" Conan said and turned around.

"I'll go with him," Haru told Kogoro and Ran. "Go on ahead of us,"

"I can hear her cell phone," Conan paled as they ran. "The dial tones…it's Nanatsu no Ko! She's a member of the Black Organization!"

Conan called Professor Agasa to pick them up so that they could follow the tracker. They stopped away from the tracker's location and pretended that the car had broken down. Conan listened in on the conversation.

"Haibara, do you know who DJ is!?" Conan asked. "Do you know where Eddie P is!? They used those words! It's some sort of code!"

"I don't know who DJ is but I guess Eddie P is a park of some sorts," Haibara answered.

"Do you know who Kir, Chianti, and Korn are?"

"I don't know about Kir," Haibara replied. "But I know Chianti and Korn are snipers,"

"So they're planning an assassination," Haru looked out the window. "The bug is 580 meters from here so they're in that building, probably an underground parking lot,"

"Professor, Haibara, wait here!" Conan ordered as he got out, Haru following.

"Stop there," Conan nearly bumped into Jodie. "Hey there Cool Kid, Lucifer,"

"Jodie-sensei?" Conan questioned. "Why are you here?"

"When Vermouth was pretending to be Araide-sensei, Mizunashi Rena often came to the clinic," Jodie informed. "I was surprised that when I followed her, Mouri Kogoro had been invited to her home. When she told you about the case and it turned out to be a prank, I thought that she couldn't be one of them. But once I saw the two of you running from towards her place with a serious expression, I thought there had to be something! I followed her but she ended up shaking me off her trail,"

"Jodie-sensei, they're planning to assassinate someone at 1 PM!" Haru informed.

Conan glanced back at the tracker. "They're coming this way!" He pulled Jodie into Agasa's car.

Jodie took out her cell phone and relayed information to her colleagues. "This is Jodie! The target is going south on Toriya Road! Follow her!"

"Don't follow her," Haru ordered Agasa. "We don't want her to end up catching us,"

"Haru's right," Conan said. "We need to decipher who DJ is and the location known as Eddie P,"

'Eddie P…P is park…Eddie…' Haru quietly hummed as Jodie explained who the three candidates Kir was interviewing today are. "Eddie P is Haido Park," 'I know that Haido Park is supposed to have something to do with Jekyll and Hyde,' "As for DJ, I don't know. Jodie-sensei, why don't you ask Cognac?"

Haibara's eyes widened with fear at the name. "C-Cognac?"

"Calm down, Haibara," Haru assured her. "He's on our side now,"

Jodie sensei dialed James' number. "James, can you put Cognac on the phone?" She put her own phone on speaker.

"Yo, Cognac speaking,"

'He sounds really different when not using that creepy scary voice of his,' Haru noted. "Hey Cognac, do you know who DJ is? The crows are planning to assassinate him,"

"DJ…DJ…can you tell me who the possible victims are? It'll help me narrow it down,"

"Eisaku Tokiwa, Sendo Junji, and Domon Yasuteru,"

"I don't know much since I was never part of the planning phase of that mission. You said you know the location?"

"Yeah, it's Haido Park," Haru explained. "Eddie P is Edward Park. Edward is the first name of Mr. Hyde. Haido Park is modeled after Hyde Park,"

"Just head over there and see whoever Kir's talking to. It should be pretty obvious unless all three are there at the same time which is highly unlikely,"

"That wasn't really helpful…" Haru mumbled.

"Like I said, I was never shown a file on who Kir's going to lure for Chianti and Korn to snipe,"

"How do you know that three of them are Kir, Chianti, and Korn?" Conan asked. "We never mentioned their names and Haru only referred to them as crows,"

"Chianti and Korn are skilled snipers in the organization so they'll probably be on a roof of a building near the park. They're also grouped together with Gin and Vermouth whenever they need snipers. The three targets are names of well-known people so Kir, being a reporter, could lure them to a specific place for an interview while Chianti and Korn snipe the target,"

As Jodie, Conan, and Haru exited the car, Haru caught sight of Vermouth in Gin's Porsche 356A, looking straight at them. "We need to be careful. Make sure not to act suspicious,"

They rushed into the park and managed to find Domon amongst the crowd of supporters who had gathered around him. "The snipers were worried about rain so," He saw a building with a figure on it. "There, on the rooftop!"

Jodie looked at another building. "The other one is under the water tank!"

"We can't get involved carelessly or a gunfight might break out and hit civilians," Conan said. "To prevent them, we need to make them give up on their assassination,"

"Shoot the sprinklers," Haru ordered. "Make it rain. Umbrellas lower the chance of the assassination being successful. There's no way they would risk it,"

"Haru, don't you have a gun?" Conan asked.

"I'm not that skilled enough and I don't have a silencer," Haru looked to Jodie. "I'm sure the FBI can handle this,"

XXX

"What!?" Professor Agasa exclaimed. "You were seen by the announcer!?"

"Shh! Are you trying to tell the entire world!?" Haru shushed. "Anyway, Conan managed to trick her so she didn't notice the bug,"

"I was going to remove the bug but something seemed off about her," Conan said.

"At least we can continue following them," Haru reminded. "They're the type to have a backup plan,"

"I'm guessing they're going to get together somewhere else for their next plan," Jodie told Agasa and Haibara. "From here on, leave it to the FBI. You guys should head home in your Beetle. But I'm gonna borrow these two kids though,"

"I'm nineteen," Haru huffed. "I'm not a kid,"

"How are you going to pursue without a car?" Professor Agasa inquired. "And Haru-kun doesn't have his motorcycle right now,"

"No problem," Jodie assured him as James pulled up in his car, a man with black hair and dark brown eyes in the back seat. "My boss likes to come out and play as the driver,"

"Kidnap Ran and Ojisan," Despite the wording, Professor Agasa had known Haru long enough to understand the meaning. 'Who the hell is that guy with James?'

Jodie decided to ignore the odd word choice. "Just in case, I'll have two or three of our guys stand guard there,"

XXX

"Hey Uncle James, who's that guy?" Haru pointed at the man who sat beside him and Conan in the backseat.

"That's Cognac," James answered. "He washed out his hair dye and took out his contact lenses. We also cut his hair shorter. That way if any of the organization members see him, they won't immediately recognize him,"

"Sorry for breaking your watch, Kudo," Cognac apologized to Conan, causing the boy to pale at the name used.

"I thought I misheard you saying 'kiddo' before but you're actually calling Conan-kun 'Kudo'," Jodie noted. "Are you referring to high school detective Kudo Shinichi?"

"Conan here is a distant relative of Shin-kun," Haru lied. "That's why they look so similar," 'Damn it Cognac! Be careful of what you say!'

"James, do you know where Shuu is?" Jodie questioned. "I told him about the situation, including Conan-kun's tracker and microphone. He just became silent and then hung up,"

"Oh, I know where he is," Haru said. "He's near Mouri Detective Agency,"

"Shuu told you?" Jodie turned to him.

"Shh!" Conan shushed them and listened to the microphone. "Bein B?"

"Is that the next location for his assassination?" James inquired.

"Yeah, at 4 PM it looks like they're going to go after him while he's crossing some bridge in his car," Conan frowned. "I'm not sure where Bein B is though,"

"Toriya Bridge," Cognac informed. "Back before I was placed in the torture division, I kidnapped someone there. We called it Bein B because Toriya means bird and arrow, like a weather vane,"

James drove his car beside Kir, thinking that she was Vermouth. "Excuse me, I have a question for you,

Jodie pointed her handgun at her. "Do you mind stopping your bike?"

Kir managed to drive her motorcycle onto one of the agents' cars. A little boy ran after a soccer ball into the middle of the road, causing the cars to screech to a halt. Kir was sent flying, crashing into the street. Blood gushed from a head wound. Haru rushed to her side and held a handkerchief to Kir's head. "Take her to the hospital!"

"Why is it Mizunashi Rena?" Jodie wondered out loud. "According to what Conan-kun overheard, the person on this bike should be Vermouth disguised as Busujima. She changed into leather overalls and boots somewhere so the loafer with the tracker is probably there,"

Conan frowned as they piled back into James' car. "The tracker stopped working but the sound is muffled,"

"Gin probably found the tracker and is headed to kill Kogoro-ojisan," Haru sighed. 'As much as I hate putting Ojisan in danger, this'll help draw suspicions off of him and by extension Conan. Oh Arceus, Ran is going to kill me if she ever finds out about this! Then again, she doesn't need to know…'

"Open the car's roof!" Conan ordered as Mouri Detective Agency came into view.

James did so and Conan kicked his soccer ball, cracking the glass window. "Hey!" The detective slid the window open. "Who did that!?"

Conan and Haru had rushed out of the car and in front of the agency. "Sorry Ojisan," Haru apologized. "I was trying to show how awesome my soccer skills are and ended up hitting your window. It's not like it did too much damage,"

"You broke my window!" Kogoro snapped. "Do you know how much it costs to repair!?"

"Anyway, how's the horse racing doing?" Haru changed the subject. "You're listening to it with those earphones, right? I betted on a horse too so I wanna know if I won money or lost some,"

Kogoro reached for his earpiece but realized he had removed it. "I pulled it out because of you! I didn't hear the winning name!"

Back on the roof, Vermouth told Gin, "It looks like Mouri Kogoro had nothing to do with it,"

"Kill all three of them," Gin commanded.

"Hey wait!" Vermouth said. "Mouri has deep ties with the police. Killing him like this without any conclusive evidence—"

Gin pointed his Beretta M9 at her. "You talk too much, Vermouth! Is there something between you and that detective?"

"My, my," Vermouth smirked, unfazed by the threat. "If there was, what would you do?"

"Heh, no matter," Gin held up the bug. "Whoever set this thing up was careless and left his fingerprints behind. After we kill him, we can just search the people around him and figure out who is behind it all," His eyes widened once it was shot out of his hand.

"8 o'clock!" Korn informed.

"From that building!" Chianti added.

"Im-impossible!" Vodka exclaimed. "That's seven hundred yards away!"

Gin stole Korn's sniper rifle and located the assailant with the scope. "Akai Shuichi!?" He narrowly managed to avoid getting his eye shot out, though it grazed his cheek. Several more shots buried into his bulletproof vest. 'The FBI…so that's how it is…' "Retreat! Forget about those three! Hurry!"

"Huh? It was the FBI?" Vodka asked as they drove away.

"Yeah, we were set up," Gin wiped the blood from his mouth. "It would have been impossible to set up on that building if they didn't know about our plans,"

"That means Mouri Kogoro and the FBI are—"

"I don't think so," Vermouth interrupted. "He's just bait that the FBI set out for us. They'd never put their own in harm's way. I'm sure that they found out that Kir and that guy were going to meet and after the two parted ways, they put the tracker and wiretap under Kir's shoes. It was just in case we discovered it, we would naturally be suspicious of him,"

"Hmph, let's just say it was but only because Mouri Kogoro seems to be your favorite detective," Gin smirked. "But he's not the only one that suspicious,"

"Who?" Vermouth inquired. 'Is he suspecting the boy?'

"That man that kicked the soccer ball," Gin responded. "It was way too close to be a coincidence. It was as if he knew we were going to kill Mouri Kogoro and so he intercepted just in the nick of time,"

'Although I don't really care much for Lucifer, if Gin starts investigating him then he'll eventually come across Silver Bullet-kun,' Vermouth kept her poker face, avoiding a frown. "Miracles do happen from time to time,"

"But what about Kir?" Vodka asked.

"It seems that she fell into the FBI's hands just like Cognac did," Gin said. "Both won't crack so easily but we'll still use our resources to find them. We'll have some sort of an idea of where Kir will be since she was injured,"

"Did you see the morning news?" Jodie asked.

"Yes," James nodded. "Domon-san is planning to just watch this coming election, right? It was disclosed that his father is under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. In order to silence the information Nichiuri TV had, Domon-san agreed to do the single interview with Mizunashi, but it was something she cooked up herself,"

"What does his father's acts twenty years ago have to do with Domon himself?" Cognac rolled his eyes. "Politics is stupid,"

"But if only we were able to catch two or three more of them," Jodie sighed.

"I could have shot his legs, but I stopped at putting bullets into his flak jacket," Akai informed. "If a gunfight broke out, bystanders could've been injured. It was more important to lead them into believing the FBI were behind the tracker and the wiretap," 'I wanted to go for the head since that bastard dared to target Mitsuharu,'

"But imagine if we captured Gin," Cognac chuckled. "I'd like to see his expression when he has two broken legs and is surrounded by the FBI. Then again, he'd probably commit suicide before we get to him. Or Vodka would carry him as they escaped,"

They entered Kir's hospital room. "Her life isn't in any danger but she's still comatose," James said. "We'll have to wait for her to recover but her hospitalization here will be kept a secret. What I'm more worried about is that the TV station won't keep it a secret that one of their news reporters is missing,"

"Conan's got it covered," Haru's stomach let out a loud growl so he turned to James. "Hey Randy Hawk, you still haven't treated me and the Detective Boys to lunch. How long has it been?"

"Okay, okay," James held his hands up in surrender. "Call up your friends and I'll take you guys to the restaurant like I promised,"

"Food!" Haru cheered.

"Shuu…" Jodie glanced between the brothers. "Are the two of you actually related?"

"He takes after our father with that playful personality of his," Akai shrugged. "I take after our mother,"

I have a new fanfiction called Fade to Darkness that will be a darker version of an OC Insert. It is in no way connected to the HaruVerse. They both just happen to be reincarnates of Michael Leo Field.
Reincarnation only existed in fanfiction, yet Michael Leo Field was reborn as Akai Senichi, the younger twin brother of Akai Shuichi. However, his new life takes a dark turn; at the age of ten he is kidnapped and at twelve, he is forced to join the organization.

Estriella: This is one thing I hate in stories where OC is the main character. The author is so afraid that his OC will be too strong / perfect that he intentionally makes him / she weak, stupid or otherwise impaired. And then the OC gets into a situation where he / she wants to help, but is a useless waste of oxygen. This chapter shows it perfectly. Haru suddenly wants to be a hero, although he didn't care at all. If he cared he would train earlier. He had the opportunity to learn to fight with Masumi, but he never showed a desire to become strong. He is not smart either. All he has is knowledge from the manga that he predicts the future of the plot, but because now he forgets things, he is useless even in this respect. I don't understand his motives, his choices or his reasoning.

Skai: Those are valid points. I was thinking about having Haru be on the "overpowered" side but I didn't want him to seem like a Gary Stu. I also didn't want to make major changes to the plot yet. I understand if you are not interested in continuing reading my story. Thank you for at least giving it a chance.
