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]

"So let me get this straight," Akai gave Haru an exasperated look. "You want Cognac to create a VidTube channel with you?"

"Yes," Haru nodded. "The FBI trusted him enough to bring him on that mission where you guys were stalking Kir,"

"We were not stalking Kir," Jodie claimed.

Cognac coughed. "Says the one watching her apartment and following her car,"

"Won't the organization recognize him?" James questioned. "Especially since they're surely looking for their missing members?"

"First of all, why the hell would they be watching our VidTube videos?" Haru pointed out. "Secondly, Jonah here has gotten rid of the dye from his hair and no longer uses his colored contacts. He looks different than the traditional Cognac look. Thirdly, Cognac is a known torturer. Jonah acts totally different from Cognac. Fourthly, if Cognac was captured by the FBI, why the hell would he have a VidTube channel? Wouldn't he be focused on trying to escape instead?"

"Jonah?" Jodie inquired.

"Gubat Jonah is the name Haru gave me," Cognac told them. "I don't really remember my birth name and in the organization they pretty much called me 'kid' and 'brat' until I got my codename,"

"Haru, making videos with Cognac is not a good idea," Akai flat out told his brother.

"All he ever wanted was a friend," Haru reminded. "I told him that if he helps the FBI, I'll become his friend. You said that you'd give him a chance,"

"I said that I'd give him a chance, not that I'd trust him with your life," Akai responded. "If you really want to film a video, I'll supervise,"

"Supervise?" Haru rolled his eyes. "We don't need supervision. We're both adults,"

"I'm going to make sure that Cognac doesn't kill you and that you don't end up in the hospital again," Akai responded. "Do you want me to remind you of how many times you ended up in the hospital?"

"Just let him supervise," Cognac told Haru. "It's not like we're doing anything dangerous. We're just reviewing an MRE today,"

"Fine, he can be the cameraman," Haru huffed. 'Akai has a point. I want to trust Cognac, but I know that he's also a murderer and a torturer. Of course I won't outwardly express my distrust because I don't want to get on Cognac's bad side. Even though he says he wants a friend, his personality was still shaped by the fact that he was raised in the organization. If he gets angry he could seriously hurt me,'

"Before we start, we need aliases and a name for our VidTube channel," Haru told Cognac. "I think I want to call myself Vergil,"

"A person as pure as the lily?" Cognac gave him a skeptical look. "Pretty sure that doesn't suit you,"

"I did not know that it meant that," Haru mumbled. "It sounded cool though. Do you have a name?"

"Jake," Cognac answered. "I mean, I could go by Jonah since it's not like it really matters,"

"If you're going to be a VidTuber, you gotta have a VidTube name," Haru said. "Why Jake though?"

"It was my first name," Cognac answered, referring to his name in the Real World.

"I thought you didn't remember your birth name," Akai interrupted.

"I remember my first name now that I bothered to think about my past," Cognac shot back. 'Ugh, Akai is so annoying. Isn't he supposed to be quiet and observing?'

'He said first name,' Haru noted. 'Is he referring to his first life?' "In that case, I'll go by Leo," 'I can't really go by Michael since I gave that name to my nephew. I'll just have to go by my middle name,' "Now what should we call our channel?"

"Lion Supplanter?" Cognac shrugged.

"Okay, you are not allowed to name the channel," Haru told him. "How do you even know so many name meanings?"

"Research," Cognac replied. "Sometimes we give codenames to locations and people just like Bein B and DJ,"

"Hey, what is a supplanter anyway?" Haru inquired. 'Sounds a lot like supplier,'

"Governments and rulers of countries," Cognac informed. "The verb supplant means to overthrow,"

"Oh, a ruler of a country can be a king," Haru said. "We can call our channel Lion K—that's copyrighted,"

"Jonah means dove," Cognac stated. "Lion and Dove?"

"You know what, I give up on trying to come up with a channel name," Haru sighed. "Let's just call the channel Lion and Dove,"

The two set up their area, placing the MRE bag on the coffee table while sitting on the couch. Akai moved the camera so that it was in front of them. "Three, two, one,"

"Hey there peoples, I'm Lion—"

"I thought we were going by Leo and Jake?" Cognac interrupted.

"Shit!" Haru cursed. "Restart!"

"Three, two, one,"

"Hey there peoples I'm Leo and this is Dove," Haru motioned to himself and then Cognac. "I mean Jonah! No wait, I mean Jake! Damn it!"

"Three, two, one,"

"Hey there peoples, I'm Leo and this is Jake," Haru introduced. "Welcome to our channel, Lion and Dove. Today, for our very first YouTube video—"

"YouTube?" Cognac questioned. "It's VidTube,"

"Oh for the love of!" Haru let out a string of curses. "Jonah, you do the intro!"

Akai was a bit amused at Haru's frustration. 'He's struggling just to make the opening scene,' "Three, two, one,"

"Greetings mortals," Cognac said to the camera. "I am Jake and this here is my companion, Leo. Welcome to the channel, Lion and Dove. Today, for our very first VidTube video, we will be trying this MRE," He held up the bag. "Hopefully it won't be disgusting," He took out a knife.

"Where the hell did you get that?" Akai asked. "You're not supposed to have any weapons,"

"I pickpocketed it from Leo," Cognac sliced the bag, allowing the contents to be retrieved. "Let's see what we got here,"

"We have Italian breadsticks. I'm not a big fan of breadsticks but okay," Haru placed it to the side. "French toast? Again, not a fan. We have a bunch of powdered drinks such as chocolate, grape, and lemonade. There's some military energy gum, cheese spread with jalapenos, and pretzels. I like pretzels. There's also a pepperoni sandwich, some trail mix, and cinnamon applesauce,"

"A honey barbecued pork sandwich," Cognac also pulled the things out and placed it onto the table. "Beef jerky, a nutrient energy bar, a spoon, some matches, moist towels, salt, regular gum, and some napkins,"

"Ooh, matches," Haru picked it up.

Akai walked up to them, mostly out of frame, and took the matches from Haru, causing the younger brother to pout. "You don't even like fire so don't complain,"

"If any of you guys are wondering who that was," Haru spoke to the camera. "Call him Killjoy,"

Cognac tore open the barbecued pork sandwich and pulled it into two pieces, passing one to Haru. "Tastes pretty good for an MRE sandwich,"

"I love honey barbecue," Haru took a big bite. "It's my favorite flavor,"

"Is that why I saw you buying five bottles of honey barbecue sauce?" Akai asked.

"I actually have a whole cupboard full at home," Haru replied. "The owners of the house don't even bother questioning it," He opened up the French toast and breadsticks, shoving it in Cognac's direction. "I don't want them,"

"You actually don't like bread or are you just imitating Trafalgar Law?" Cognac questioned, noting that Haru was wearing a Heart Pirates shirt.

"Shut up Jake," Haru started eating a piece of beef jerky. "Feels softer than regular beef jerky,"

"Mrow," Cora jumped onto the couch and laid down on Haru's lap.

"Here you go," Haru gave the rest of his piece to his cat.

"The breadsticks have a rather dull taste," Cognac reviewed through a mouthful of food. "The French toast needs syrup," He opened up the jalapeno cheese spread and squeezed some onto the breadstick. "Yeah, it taste much better now,"

Haru opened up the pretzels and scowled. "These are pretzel sticks! I wanted actual pretzels!"

"I think you're over—"

"No, I was told that these are pretzels so I should've gotten actual pretzels instead of pretzel sticks!" Haru ranted, forgetting for a moment that he was speaking to a former crow. "I demand a refund!"

"I was the one who bought it in the US for you," Killjoy reminded. "Since you're so upset, I can just buy you a container of pretzels later,"

"Fine," Haru huffed and opened up the trail mix. "This is just a bunch of nuts. They're unflavored too," He slid it across to Cognac. "I only like honey roasted ones,"

"Why don't you try the chocolate drink?" Cognac suggested.

Haru poured some water into the powder and sealed the bag. He shook it for a couple seconds and opened it, taking a sip. "It's not too bad. It's a bit bitter,"

"Chocolate is supposed to be bitter," Cognac told him.

"I don't like it," Haru passed the bag to Cognac who chugged it down. "I don't like grape or lemonade either," He passed the two powders to his partner too. "I hate cinnamon," He slid the applesauce across the table.

"You're being quite picky today," Akai commented.

"Try the pepperoni sandwich," Cognac offered.

Haru opened it and took a bite. "Tastes like pizza. I hate pizza," He passed the rest to Cognac.

"All that's left is the military energy gum, the regular gum, and the energy bar," Cognac didn't seem bothered at all by the taste of the rest of the MRE that Haru didn't seem to like.

Haru took a bite of the energy bar. "Meh," He turned to the camera. "So that's the end of the very first episode of Lion and Dove. See you next time,"

Akai stopped recording. "Is everything alright, Haru?"

"I'm still upset over the whole pretzel thing," Haru mumbled.

Both Cognac and Akai gave him an "are-you-****ing-kidding-me" look. "That's why you're grumpy?"

"I'm gonna go for a walk," Haru headed out to get some fresh air, Cora following him. "I think I'll head to the convenience store. You coming with me?"

"Mrow," Cora meowed. They made their way to the Sunday Mart.

As they got there, they noticed the Detective Boys talking to the cashier. "Elementary school student Amemiya Shoko-chan? I don't know about her. I just started working here so I don't really know anyone by name,"

"We have a picture of her," Mitsuhiko held up his phone.

The cashier stared at the photo and recognized her. "Oh, that child came early this morning. She bought fruit juice in a small plastic bottle, milk in a paper carton, and an X-Acto knife,"

"Hey guys," Haru walked up to them. "Is something wrong?"

Before they could answer, a patrol car pulled up. "Oh, it's you guys!" Yumi recognized the Detective Boys.

"Ah!"

"Yumi-san!"

"It's the mini patrol car lady!"

"Aren't your homes the other way?" Yumi asked.

The Detective Boys explained the situation of Shoko's disappearance, forgetting about Haru for a moment. "Wasn't there any call to the police about strange people looking around or a car accident?"

"No, only calls about illegal parking," Yumi answered. "I was heading to follow one of the locations,"

"Then why did you stop by the convenience store?" Mitsuhiko inquired.

"I came to buy this mask," She held up the face mask she purchased. "I'm heading to three places in this neighborhood but I need a mask in all of them. One of the places have a foul odor since a lot of people toss their trash without thinking about the date. It's basically a crow feeding area now. The second place is an unused garage. I don't know if because of dust or something but I can't stop sneezing whenever I go there. When I went before, nothing happened," She let out a sneeze. "Kinda like th—ACHOO!"

"What about the third place?" Ayumi questioned.

Yumi but on the face mask, managing to stop the sneezes. "To tell the truth, it's near my ex's place. I dumped him in a bad way so I don't want to meet face to face,"

"I think you might be allergic to my cat," Haru spoke up.

Yumi finally noticed Haru. "Ch-Chukichi!? You dyed your hair blonde!?"

"I'm not Chukichi and my hair is naturally blonde," Haru corrected. "I'm Haru. When Corazon came closer to you, you started sneezing,"

Yumi seemed skeptical of Haru's identity and gave him a scrutinizing stare. "So I'm allergic to cats?" Yumi seemed surprised by the fact.

"There's also probably some cats in the abandoned garage since you started sneezing all of a sudden. It can't be the dust since you passed by there all the time," Haru deduced. "Can you take us to that location? Wait, before that let me go warm up some milk," He got a bottle of hot water and used it to dilute powdered baby formula. "Cats can't drink cow milk because it'll make them sick. They can drink powdered baby formula that's been diluted in hot water,"

When they arrived at the garage, Haru walked over to an opened cardboard box where two kittens were. He dumped out the milk Shoko had set out for them and filled it with the powdered milk he had bought. The two kittens began to drink. Cora looked around and meowed loudly. A second later, a faint meow was heard. Haru followed that sound to outside where he found the third kitten.

'What's that?' Haru noticed broken shards of some sort near a pole. He picked a piece up with a napkin.

"They're pieces of a car headlight," Conan inspected the pieces.

"There's also human blood," Haibara knelt down beside the crimson dotted trail.

"And there are brake tracks here," Officer Numata added.

"S-Shoko-chan was hit by a car!?"

"Let's go and search the nearby hospitals," Haru suggested. "She's bound to be in one of them,"

They found her and the driver at Araide's clinic, both of them unconscious and resting. The substitute teacher shed tears of relief that Shoko was alright. He adopted one of the kittens while Araide decided to care for the other two while searching for owners for them. Cora nuzzled against the kittens before they left. "Mrow,"

"Sorry Cora but I can't afford to take care of four cats," Haru apologized. 'It's weird being around the real Araide since I was so used to him being Vermouth in disguise. But is it really safe for him to be like this, especially since Vermouth went after his life?'

Haru and Corazon returned to Akai and Cognac. "I'm surprised you guys didn't kill each other,"

"What took you so long?" Akai asked.

"One of the kids' classmates was missing so I helped find her," Haru said.

"Here's a large container of pretzels," Cognac handed the jar to him. "You seemed really bummed out so I escaped through the bathroom window to buy some,"

"I had to chase him on foot," Akai muttered. "Haru, does he have to be your friend?"

"I made a deal that I'd be his friend," Haru threw a handful of pretzels into his mouth. "And he doesn't seem that bad,"

"You're only saying that because he bought you a jar of pretzels,"

So this was a chapter for Haru and Cognac to bond. Haru is very passionate of his pretzels. I parodied YouTube and called it VidTube. The contents of the MRE was copied from a Taras Kul video because I had no idea what I should have the contents be.

Cognac's new name, Gubat Jonah, is a Filipino name. Jonah means dove in Hebrew and Gubat is Tagalog for forest. Cognac is half-Filipino and half-French.
