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]

During the Detectives' Nocturne, Jonah borrowed Haru's bike and spare tracking glasses, zooming out of the garage at a dangerous speed. Haru went with Subaru, Professor Agasa, and Haibara. "We need to make sure Jonah doesn't kill the kidnapper and end up in jail!"

'Hmm, that's not a bad idea,' Subaru thought. 'I won't be the one responsible for separating the two of them if he's arrested for murder. Although I accepted the fact that they both love each other, I still have a duty as an older brother to protect my baby brother's innocence,'

"Chewy I can tell what you're thinking," Haru rolled his eyes. "Don't get your hopes up,"

Amuro still ended up crashing his car into the kidnapper's blue Swift. Tegawa came out of the car, holding a gun aimed at Conan's head. "What is this!? What's with you people!?"

The loud revving of two motorcycles caught their attention. On the roof of the car were Masumi and Jonah. "Bitch, you just signed your death warrant!" Masumi hit Tegawa with her motorcycle. Jonah grabbed the unconscious robber by the throat and started to strangle her. "Never threaten any of my kids!" 'Kill! Kill! Kill!'

"Jonah stop!" Haru yelled. "She's already unconscious!" He pulled Jonah away from the kidnapper. "Are you trying to get arrested!?"

'That expression and aura…' Amuro observed. 'He really is Cognac!'

Masumi brought Conan into a hug, tears in her eyes. "I'm so glad you're alright!"

'That girl…wasn't she the one that Scotch and I saw with Akai at a train station?' Amuro noted. 'Why is she here?'

Haru finally got Jonah to get into the backseat of Subaru's car while he himself took his bike home. Jonah stared out the window as they drove. 'Shit!' He cursed at the realization of his mistake. 'I put on my Cognac façade in front of Bourbon! I'm sure that he's confirmed his suspicions about my identity now!'

Once they reached home, Jonah went to the bathroom, dyed his hair dark turquoise, and put on gold contact lenses. He then started packing what little belongings he had into his car. "Jonah?" Haru asked, confused. "Are you going somewhere? Why'd you change to your Cognac look?"

"Bourbon knows who I am," Jonah sighed. "I'm going to return to the organization. Bourbon is willing to kill to get closer to bringing down the organization. I'm sure he won't hesitate to reveal my identity,"

"But you don't want to be part of it!" Haru protested. "You're finally free! Why would you go back!?"

"I won't truly be free until Karasuma Renya's dead and his organization's destroyed," Jonah told him sadly. "If I stay here, it'll put you in harm's way," He smiled softly. "But don't worry. I won't let him have complete advantage of me. I know that he's part of the NPA so I'll hold that against him if he thinks about using you or any of your friends as leverage,"

"Won't they kill you on sight?" Haru asked. "Gin tried to shoot you back during the Raven Chaser,"

"I'm not a traitor," Jonah claimed. "Gin shot at me because he thought I had no escape just like Irish. I have done nothing to betray the organization, at least nothing that they know of,"

"But…" Haru hesitated to ask the question, dreading the answer. "What about us?"

"You need to move on and find someone else," Jonah told him. 'I was never meant to have a happily ever after anyway. Throughout both my lives, I've only known suffering,' "If they love you enough to be able to survive Akai's overprotectiveness, then they're worth it," He looked to Subaru. "Tell James that I'll try to send info when I can, but they'll most likely be suspicious of me just like they were with Kir. It'll probably be a while until I can send info,"

'I finally find someone to love,' Haru thought. 'I finally find someone who I can speak freely about my secret—that I'm originally form another world—with…And now I'm losing him. It's tearing my heart out!' "Promise me…" He grabbed Jonah's hand in a deathly grip. "Promise me that after we bring down the organization…Promise me that you'll survive until then…Promise me that we'll reunite afterwards…"

"I promise," Jonah gently pulled Haru's hand off of his. 'I'm sorry for keeping your hopes up. I'm sorry for lying to you. There's no guarantee that I'll survive until the end,' "Goodbye, Michael,"

"Not goodbye," Haru said as Jonah started to leave. "See you later, Jake,"

Once Jonah had driven away, Haru fell to his knees and sobbed his heart out. Subaru knelt down beside him, bringing him into a comforting hug. Subaru had gotten his wish to separate Haru and Jonah, but at the cost of shattering Haru's heart.

At work, Haru's movements were unenthusiastic. His eyes were full of sorrow but the rest of his face was emotionless. "Why aren't the lover boys together?" One of the members of the Jonah X Haru Fan Club asked when the group decided to dine at the café.

"We broke up," Haru answered, his voice quivering. 'Don't cry! I've been living nineteen years without him. I can go on without him. I need to endure this void in my chest just until the organization is destroyed! I'm not the only one suffering; Jonah doesn't want to be apart from me either,'

'So Cognac decided to run and left his 'precious boyfriend' behind,' Amuro noted. 'I guess it really was just an act. He was quite protective of him so I doubt he'd leave him unguarded like this, especially since Cognac knows my face and codename,' "Haru-san, it'll be alright,"

Haru wanted to yell at Amuro, to blame him for their break up. But he knew that Jonah should've been more careful. Jonah knew that he didn't need to interfere since in canon, Conan was rescued and was unharmed. Haru put on a fake smile. "Yeah,"

"So what'll happen to your VidTube channel, Lion and Dove?" Another member of the fanclub inquired.

"It looks like we won't be making videos anymore," Haru sadly informed. "I won't delete the channel unless Jonah wants me to,"

The crows whispered as Cognac entered headquarters. "I thought that the FBI had captured you," Vermouth commented.

"They did because someone ditched me and Cal," Cognac glared at Vermouth. "Cal chose suicide rather than being interrogated. They tried to force answers out of me, but I refused to tell them. I managed to escape when the agent watching me lowered his guard,"

"How long ago?" Bourbon questioned. 'So he didn't run away. He decided to return to the organization,'

"Quite a while actually," Cognac twirled a knife on the tip of his finger. "I disguised myself as a civilian, got a job, and rented a place to stay,"

"Yet you decided to wait to return," Gin pointed out.

"I was making sure the FBI wasn't on my trail. Also, someone tried to kill me," Cognac directed his glare towards Gin now. "I was just enjoying the night view when Irish arrived, made a scene, and retrieved a memory card. When he saw me, he probably mistook me for an enemy in the darkness. Of course I fought back. I was going to return afterwards but, oh I don't know, you used the helicopter's machinegun to try to shoot me?"

"Hmph, the boss will be the one to determine your fate," Gin said. 'I don't believe him. How could he escape from the FBI easily? I doubt they'd lower their guard around someone like him,'

Cognac was in his torture chamber, sharpening his blades. He heard faint footsteps behind him, as if someone were trying to sneak up on him. He whirled around and threw a knife, the other person just barely managing to dodge in time. "I see your reflexes are still the same as always, Cognac," Bourbon commented.

"The next one won't miss," Cognac threatened. He knew that there were no cameras in the room so he didn't worry about censoring his words. "Maybe I'll carve a zero into your back,"

'He can't possible know about me!?' Bourbon tensed up. "A zero? Do you plan on doing a numbers theme or something?"

Cognac grinned. "I wonder if I'll be the one to torture you if they find out about your true allegiance," He stood up. "Furuya Rei,"

Bourbon clenched his fist but kept a straight face. "What if I told them about your boyfriend? Everyone would think that you've gone soft,"

Cognac's eyes went from insane to deadly. "I just dated him for sex. A man like me also has urges from time to time," 'I can't believe I said such a thing! Haru, please forgive me!'

"Then you won't mind if I decided to seduce him and bring him to bed?" Bourbon smirked.

Cognac grew furious and drew his gun at the same time as Bourbon. "I don't like to share,"

The two came to a silent truce that neither would reveal information about the other.

Furuya Rei has had to kill in order to infiltrate the organization. He would've captured Jonah and dragged him back to the organization, which could potentially put Haru at risk. Jonah knows that Bourbon will kill Haru if ordered to so he decides to act first and tell Bourbon that he knows his true allegiance in order to ensure Haru's safety.
