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's begin!" Sonoko held up a crushed can of Coke. "As you can see, it's been crushed and there's not a single drop left inside!" She shook it upside down. "This, with the power of my will…" The can puffed up back as if it hadn't been crushed. "Tada!"
"It, it looks like it's an entirely different can!" Ran exclaimed.
"Of course, once I run my finger across the can…" Sonoko did so. "The stay on tab reverts to normal and the cola inside remain in tact!" She opened the can.
"That's awesome, Sonoko!" Ran cheered.
"You rock!" Masumi grinned.
"Oi Haru, why aren't you paying attention?" Sonoko asked. "You've been practicing your martial arts for a while now,"
"I'm planning on beating the living shit out of Kaito Kid!" Haru declared. 'That bastard dared to undress my precious baby sister! I'll make him pay!' "By the way, Sonoko, there's a black sticker on your thumb,"
"There's also two small holes on the outside," Conan pointed out. "Sonoko-neechan probably poured out half of the Coke through the holes that was made with a drill or something, crushed the can, and blocked the holes with glue,"
"Then she stuck the black sticker at the mouth of the can to make it look like it was open," Haru added. "When she shook the can, the Coke foamed up and smoothed out the dents. When she traced the mouth of the can with her finger, she removed the sticker,"
"You've really gotten more observant, Haru-nii," Masumi noted.
"I did live with Shin-kun for three years," Haru pointed out. "He had me also participate in activities to improve his observational skills. Sometimes he even woke me up in the middle of the night,"
"By the way, Ran-chan, I wanted to ask you about this hat that you picked up on the Bell Tree Express," Masumi patted her hat.
"Eh? I merely picked it up from the corridor," Ran sai.d
"So you didn't see him?" Masumi asked. "A man wearing black clothes, black hat, and with a burn all over his right cheek?"
"Aha, so you came, Shiro's wee lass!" Jirokichi called to Sonoko as he approached the group, interrupting their conversation. "I apologize about the Bell Tree fiasco,"
"It's fine," Sonoko told him. "It wasn't your fault, Jirokichi-ojisan,"
As they entered the Suzuki Museum, they saw how crowded it was. Since there was still a lot of time, Jirokichi suggested they look around at the other exhibits. They saw various paintings and sculptures as well as other things. Some of the exhibits were…not for children's eyes so Ran had to cover Conan's sight with her hands.
"So the Blush Mermaid's embedded into a turtle shell and in that giant aquarium, right?" Haru pointed at the crowd. "Who the hell puts a red diamond on a poor turtle anyway?"
"An Italian actress who died at sea had this turtle, named Poseidon, as her pet," Jirokichi informed. "She desperately stuck the jewels onto the turtle with glue just before the ship sank, hoping that the turtle alone would be saved and taken in by somebody. The jewels were both for breeding expenses and a sign of her gratitude. The local fishermen found it floating in the water along with the tank and by happy chance, it then found its way into my hands!"
"But have you actually had the jewel appraised?" Sonoko asked.
"I tried but the expert was bitten by the turtle during the appraisal," Jirokichi answered. "Well, the turtle is supposed to shed its skin sometime between May and November. In truth, I wanted to wait until the turtle shed its skin so that I could take the jewel to the expert for appraisal before I bought it. But I just couldn't wait,"
"Alright! Visiting time is now over!" Nakamori Ginzo yelled through a megaphone. "Everybody apart from those who are involved with the case, get out of here! Stop faffing about and just get out!"
"Who's that?" Masumi asked.
"Inspector Nakamori of Division Two," Haru informed. "He's the leader of the Kaito Kid Taskforce,"
Nakamori started pulling on Masumi's cheek. "Hey, son! Didn't you hear what I said!? Everybody apart from those invovled are to get out of here!"
"Wait a second, Nakamori-keibu!" Ran said. "That's a friend of ours,"
"And anyway, what do you mean by son?" Sonoko gave him a confused look.
"It can't be helped," Masumi told them. "This is my first time meeting this inspector," She turned to face him. "That's why you pulled my cheek, right? To see if I was Kid in disguise or…not!" She kneed Nakamori straight in the nuts.
"That's what you get for upsetting my sibling," Haru snickered. 'Bastard shouldn't touch people without permission in the first place,'
"Since you're sweating like this, I guess you're not in disguise either, Inspector!" Masumi grinned.
"Hey Ran!" Kogoro waved at the entrance.
"Tou-san!?" Ran exclaimed. "I thought you weren't coming?"
"I changed my mind after watching all this on the news," Kogoro claimed. "And anyway, I was a little concerned for my daughter,"
'Another extraneous person appears,' Nakamori thought. 'After all that effort shutting out the visitors, why do we have to show around a bunch of amateurs?'
"You're watching quietly from the back, okay?" Jirokichi told Sonoko and her friends.
"Well then, since we have thirty minutes until eight o'clock when he shows up, I'm going to the restroom!" Masumi said.
"Ah, the nearest restroom was crowded," Sonoko called. "Your best bet is to use the one on the second floor!"

"The cheering for Kid is getting loud," Sonoko noted. "How many minutes until Kid appears?"
"Inspector!" Haru yelled, drawing attention to him and his friends. He wanted everyone to witness Kid's unmasking. Without warning, he lunged and tore the mask off of Kid's face.
"EH!?" Kid himself was surprised that someone had seen through his disguise so early.
"Hey…" Haru glared at him. "You undressed my sister!"
"Wait, wait!" Kid stuttered. "Sister!?"
Kid activated the remote that would send everyone towards the tank, covering it with the carpet. "Huh!?" Nothing happened.
"I cut the wires attached to the corners of the carpet and the light!" Haru charged at him. "As I said earlier, I'm going to beat the living shit out of you!"
"Now, now, we can settling this peacefully!" Kid attempted to dodge all of the attacks, but a few landed.
"You're ichthyophobic, right?" Haru whispered just loud enough for the two of them to hear. He took out a plastic bag filled with tiny paper fish.
"I-I-I don't know w-what you mean!" He started backing away.
"I'm not letting you go that easily!" Haru started throwing the tiny fish at the phantom thief. Once they collided with the floor, they burned up and turned to ashes. "What's the taskforce doing just standing around!? After him!"
"You heard him!" Nakamori yelled. "Capture Kid!"
As Kid fled, Haru took several deep breaths to calm himself down. He wanted to chase after Kid too, but ensuring his sister's safety was priority. Even though he knew Kid only hit her with a stun gun, he still wanted to make sure she was alright. Stun guns were painful and this was the second time Masumi had been struck with one. He gathered Masumi's clothes and headed to the men's restroom. After a few minutes, Haru had managed to wake his sister up. "I managed to land some hits on Kid for revenge,"
"Where is that bastard!?" Masumi demanded.
"Sorry Masumi, but he's probably long gone," Haru shook his head. 'But I'll be visiting his house tomorrow,' "Anyway, here are your clothes,"
Once Masumi was fully dressed Ran asked, "Oh yeah, weren't you asking about that hat earlier?"
"I wanted to ask if you saw a strange man around when you picked up this hat," Masumi replied.
"I didn't see anybody, but is that hat something special to you?" Ran inquired.
"Yeah," Masumi glanced at Haru. "Our late brother used to wear hats like this one a lot, so I'm copying him. But this hat that you picked up, Ran-chan," She placed her hand on top of the hat. "For some reason it feels like it has the same shape of wear as our brother used to have in his hats. But there's no way that could be possible,"
"You're right, Masumi, that's impossible," Haru lied. "His corpse was found burnt to a crisp, identifiable only by his fingerprints," 'Sorry for lying, Masumi,'

The next morning, Kuroba Kaito heard a knock at his door and opened it. "Who is it?" He froze once he caught sight of Haru. "H-Hello sir, how may I help you?"
"Teach me how to escape various restraints like handcuffs and ropes," Haru ordered. "Or else I'll have next month's jewel be hidden inside the stomach of a fish,"
"C-Come inside," Kaito stuttered, opening the door wider to allow entry. Once he shut the front door, he folded his arms. "How did you find me?"
"I'm not with the syndicate if that's what you're worried about," Haru scoffed. "I'm just still pissed that you declothed my younger sister,"
"I didn't know she was your sister!" Kaito claimed. "She was in the men's restroom! And she was also very boyish! That doesn't even answer my question on how you found me!"
"I have my ways, Kuroba," Haru smirked. "Don't ask any unnecessary questions. You're lucky I didn't bring my older brothers. They'd be far less forgiving. The only reason why I'm not going to hurt you anymore than I did at the heist is because you helped fake a friend's death on the Bell Tree Express,"
We all know Protective Shuu, but let's not forget that Haru could also be a protective brother when it comes to his younger sister. Haru is learning how to escape restraints from both Subaru and Kaito to learn as many ways as possible.
