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]

Conan, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko had been dropped off at their respective homes. It was only Subaru in the driver seat, Haibara in the front passenger seat, and Jonah and Haru both in the backseat. There was a tense atmosphere. Rather than cuddling together, Jonah and Haru sat on opposite ends. Jonah had a flash of hurt in his eyes but didn't say anything.

'I wanted the two of them to separate, but this isn't how I wanted it to go. I don't like it when Haru's sad,' Subaru thought. 'I can tell that Haru is feeling guilty. He doesn't want to be scared of Jonah. It's the same expression that Akemi had when I completed my first assassination. She was scared of me but still loved me,'

"Staying silent won't solve anything," Haibara spoke up once they reached the Kudo Residence garage. "Talk to each other," She exited the car and left the three men.

"I…I think I need some time away from you," Haru said as they headed inside. 'Oh no, it sounds like I'm breaking up with him!' "I-I still love you and I want to continue dating! But…you really scared me back there. I know you were just trying to protect us and rescue Ayumi-chan, but you almost killed Aosato in front of everyone,"

"And I would have succeeded if you didn't stop me," Jonah nodded sadly. "Even though I left the organization, I can't change the fact that I've been conditioned since I was a child to torture and kill. Even if I don't want to hurt someone, Cognac will take control if necessary. I need to find a way to deal with my pent up stress and anger healthily," He chuckled awkwardly. "At least you didn't see my fight with Irish. You would've been scared shitless,"

"Are we still good?" Haru asked nervously. 'Does he want to break up with me? Does he want to be with someone who isn't a wimpy, someone who isn't afraid of him?'

"Of course we're still good," Jonah smiled. "I'll give you the space you need. I'll keep a professional relationship at work until you're comfortable enough to return to normal. And don't worry about me lingering around here. I'm going to crash at Black's place,"

Jonah drove to James' apartment end entered with the spare key he had been given. "I'll be staying here for a couple nights," Jonah informed.

"Did Akai-kun finally kick you out?" James questioned.

"No," Jonah shook his head. "Haru and I just need some time apart from each other. Relationship problems,"

James' eyes widened. "You're dating Haru-kun!?"

"Yes?" Jonah raised a questioning eyebrow.

"I'm just surprised that you're still alive, especially given how overprotective Akai-kun is of his siblings," James said.

"He tried to snipe me during Tanabata," Jonah recalled. "I kissed Haru while showing Akai the middle finger. The real reason he isn't out right murdering me is because he doesn't want Haru to hate him,"

'He's the only person to ever insult Akai-kun in such a way and live,' James sweat-dropped.

Azusa noted the odd atmosphere during work. Haru and Jonah never exchanged words except for work related things such as asking if ingredients were prepped or telling what the orders are. This happened for several days but she knew that it wasn't her business to butt into their relationship. It had been pretty obvious when the two had started dating, shattering the hearts of their many admirers.

The Mouri's were dining in the café that day, Ran enjoying a fruit parfait. Kogoro let out a disappointed groan. "Damn it! The wrong one again!? I must be unlucky today,"

Ran gave him an annoyed look. "Geez, I got this fruit parfait to enjoy an authentic tropical mood! Why don't you read your horse racing paper at the detective agency?"

Kogoro plucked the strawberry from Ran's desert. "Oh, doesn't this strawberry look delicious? If you're not going to eat it, I'm taking it!"

"No way!" Ran grabbed his hand. "I was saving that for last!"

"Lemme have it," The detective whined.

"You can't!" Ran refused.

In their struggle, the strawberry fell towards the floor. A cat crawled out from under the table and started to bat the strawberry back and forth. "What's with that cat?" Kogoro asked.

"Haru, do cats eat strawberries?" Ran inquired.

"Corazon loves them," Haru walked over and knelt down to pet the feline. "Though I think this little lady here just wants to play with it,"

"Geez, where'd this cat even come from?" Kogoro grabbed the cat by the scruff of her neck, causing her to scratch at his face. "Freaking cat!"

The front door chimed as it opened and a panicked woman entered, followed by Corazon who calmly made her way to Haru. "Mrow,"

"Oh, Venus!" Diana Kingstone took the cat from Kogoro and hugged her tightly. "Oh, I'm so glad you're unhurt!" She turned to Kogoro. "Thank you so much for finding her!"

"I think she's thanking us," Ran translated for Kogoro since her father understood no English.

"Hello Mrs. Kingstone," Haru greeted. "This man here is Kogoro Mouri, a famous detective,"

"Really? How admirable!" Diana commented. "I'm fond of crime novels myself and I'd love to hear his detective stories. Unfortunately I have to catch my flight home? I know, would you mind if I invited you to my home in London?"

"She's offering to take you guys to London," Haru informed.

Conan had to pause to understand what Haru meant. "Really!? Wow, that sounds great!"

"Oh, so you accept?" Diana asked. "When can you visit?"

"We don't have school next weekend," Conan replied.

"Oh good," Diana nodded. "Then I will arrange your trip as soon as I return home," She turned to Haru. "I'm actually quite surprise that Prince Haku is in Japan, working at a café. Are you not too busy with your duties in Vespania?"

Haru sweat-dropped at the mistake. "My name is Haru, not Haku,"

"Oh, you're Queen Mira and Prince Haku's triplet!" Diana corrected herself. "I apologize for the confusion,"

"No problem," Haru replied.

"Some rich lady is paying for your and the Mouri's trip to London?" Subaru asked when Haru and informed him of the news.

"Yes, isn't it great?" Haru said.

"Did this happen in the…canon timeline?" Subaru questioned.

That caused Haru to pause. "The Holmes' Revelation arc!" He realized. "That's the only case that happens in London! Hades is going to spread a bunch of clues about his bombing target!" 'Knowing how overprotective Pierrot-nii is, he'll prevent me from going!'

"But everything will be fine, right?" Subaru asked.

"Yeah," Haru nodded. "Conan deduces Hades' identity and manages to stop him in time,"

"Then I'll give you my consent to go," Subaru told him. 'It'll help him get his mind off of Jonah too,'

"Really? Thank you so much Chewy!" Haru hugged him tightly. "I'll buy you a Sherlock Holmes souvenir!"

"Worst comes to worst," Subaru added. "Call me and I'll rush over there to kill whoever hurt you,"

'I don't think you can get there in a short amount of time. Then again, the number of cases Conan encounters in somehow less than a year is unrealistic. This is anime so anything's possible, especially if we're taking into account how overprotective the Silver Bullet can be,'

"First class is amazing!" Ran commented. "It's so spacious!"

"The lady must be ridiculously rich," Kogoro mumbled.

'I could tell him that Mrs. Kingstone is related to the royal family, but I want to see his reaction,' Haru smiled and dug into his raspberry torte. "First class food is delicious!"

"Geez Haru," Ran scolded. "You've only been eating desserts. You should at least eat one actual meal,"

"I will, I will," Haru assured her.

"Hey Spring Brat, aren't you from England?" Kogoro recalled.

"Yeah, I'm half British," Haru swallowed the last remnants of his dessert. "I can show you guys around or you can go and explore by yourselves,"

"Oh, can you show us where Baker Street is?" Ran requested. "I want to get something for Shinichi,"

"Sure," Haru agreed. 'Though Shin-kun will also be there so he won't really want anything,' "I plan on getting something for Chewy too but then I'm gonna head to Wimbledon to watch the game,"

"But don't you need a ticket to get to Centre Court?" Ran inquired.

"I asked my sister to buy me one," Haru partially lied. 'Technically I had Masumi buy one in each section and claimed it was to film different angles for my VidTube channel. I don't exactly know which section Hades is in, but once I find out where Minerva-san's mother is, then I'll go to the section across from her,'

So we're back in England once again! No, I did not misspell center as centre. That is the correct spelling because it is the British spelling.
