Mitsuharu

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]

"What is your name?" The doctor asked.

"Michael Leo Field,"

"Age?"

"Seventeen,"

"Occupation?"

"High school student,"

"Date of birth?"

"YY/YY/YYYY,"

"Birthplace?"

"Hawaii, USA,"

"Ethnicity?"

"Filipino,"

"Hair and eye color?"

Haru gave him a quizzical look. "You can obviously see since you're looking at me,"

"Please answer the question. I am testing to see if you can recognize your own appearance,"

"My hair is black and my eyes are dark brown,"

"How can you not remember your own appearance?" Sonoko held up her phone camera to show him. "You have blonde hair and blue eyes! You don't have a hint of Filipino blood running through your veins! You're half-British and half-Japanese!"

"That can't be…" Haru stared at his appearance. "This is a filter, right?"

"There's no filter that completely changes your appearance," Ran shook her head. "This is how you look,"

"And all of your answers to the questions the doctor asked are wrong," Masumi added. "You're Field Haru, nineteen years old, a college student, a waiter at Café Poirot, born January 19, XXXX in England,"

"My name is not Field Haru! I'm Michael Leo Field!" Haru snapped. 'Okay, from my understanding I'm in the Detective Conan World. However, my appearance changed. In the dimensional traveling fanfiction that I've read, you either keep your original appearance from the Real World or are reborn as a completely new person but start off from infanthood. This doesn't make any sense since I don't remember growing up a second time!'

"Do…do you not remember me?" Masumi asked with hurt in her eyes.

"You're Sera Masumi who is a high school detective," Haru answered. "The other people in this room are Edogawa Conan the Kid Killer, Mouri Ran the Karate Champion, Mouri Kogoro the Sleeping Sleuth, and Suzuki Sonoko the second daughter of Suzuki Zaibatsu," 'You're all fictional characters,'

"Why do you remember who we are but can't remember your own self!?" Kogoro demaded in frustration.

Haru began to grow angry. "I do know my own self! I am Michael Leo Field! I don't know why you're all calling me Haru! I don't know why I look like this!" 'There is no character named Field Haru in the Detective Conan anime and manga!'

"I believe this is some sort of form of Dissociative Identity Disorder, though I'm not entirely sure," The doctor theorized. "This personality is named Michael Leo Field and was created to cope with his trauma. Field-san, what do you know about the people here?"

"Ran and Sonoko are best friends," Haru listed off boredly. "Masumi is the youngest sibling of her family. Kogoro is obsessed with Okino Yoko. Conan is the leader of the Detective Boys," 'I don't want to give any compromising information or else that would shift the plot. Even though I'm confused as hell, I don't want to screw the plot up,'

Her family, not our family. Those words stung Masumi.

"Nothing seems to be wrong with his memory except for the fact that he doesn't know about anyone named Field Haru," The doctor noted. "This is a bizarre case,"

"Look, can everyone just get out of my room?" Haru groaned. "I need a break. I don't know what the hell's going on but I'd like some time to myself,"

Haru had escaped the hospital and was currently wearing some spare clothes he had come across from the lost and found. 'What's going on? Who is this Field Haru guy? Why is he in this world? Why does he exist? Why am I in his body?' He winced and slowed his movements. 'I need to find someplace to hide before they notice I'm gone. But where? I don't have any money. Maybe I can convince Akaiya Shuubaru to let me stay in the Kudo House?'

After a few minutes, he found himself in front of the closed gates. He clicked the button on the intercom. "Excuse me, may I come in?"

"H-Haru? Shouldn't you be in the hospital? You were shot!"

'Okay, apparently Subaru knows this Haru guy!' Haru groaned. "Can you let me in?"

"Sure. I'll open the gates right away,"

Soon Haru was inside the living room and sitting on the sofa. "So…I know this is going to sound weird, but can you not let anyone know where I am?" 'Is it me or does Subaru look messier than he was shown in the anime and manga?'

"You should be in the hospital," Subaru frowned. "You were shot and the operation just finished a few hours ago,"

"That explains the pain…" Haru mumbled. "The thing is…well…I have something important to discuss with you, Akai Shuichi. Ah, I'm not a crow if that's what you're worried about! I can explain how I know who you are!"

"Of course you're not a crow," Subaru's eyes were now fully open with concern. "You're my younger brother. Mitsuharu, is something wrong?"

"Younger brother?" Haru furrowed his brows. "But Akai, your only younger brother is Haneda Shukichi. And why is everyone calling me Haru!? My name is Michael Leo Field!" 'Just who the hell is this Field Haru guy!? Why does he exist!?'

"Do…do you not remember?" Subaru asked. "What is the last thing you remember?"

'Not remember? Why is everyone asking me that question?' Haru frowned. "I arrived home from school and…" His eyes widened at the memory. "And…my house was on fire…and my parents were still inside…I-I rushed in but…they were already dead. And…I died too…" 'If I died…why am I here? Is this all some sort of dream? Was I saved? Am I currently in a coma?'

"That happened nineteen years ago," Subaru informed. "You died and was reborn as Akai Mitsuharu. A few months ago, you told me about you being a dimensional traveler. You told me what the original timeline was like,"

"That can't be true!" Haru denied. "If I really did live a new life in this world for the past nineteen years, then why don't I remember!?"

"You jumped in front of the bullet that would've hit Masumi," Subaru clenched his fist at the memory of the recent event. "I don't know if it was the bullet or the fact that you hit your head hard on the asphalt, but it seems like you don't remember anything of your second life,"

"I don't believe this!" Haru shook his head frantically. "If I really did live the life of Akai Mitsuharu, then surely I've done something to change the timeline, right?"

"Akemi is alive and I have a son," Subaru informed. "If it weren't for you, Akemi would've stayed in the organization and…and you said she died in the original timeline,"

'Nineteen years…did I really live nineteen years after my death and ended up forgetting all of it? At least it sounds like I helped save Akemi so that's a relief,' Haru put a hand to his head. "This is a lot to take in," He put a hand to his side and noticed that the shirt he had stolen was now stained with blood.

"Your wound's reopening," Subaru frowned. "I'm taking you back to the hospital,"

"Who exactly was Akai Mitsuharu?" Haru requested. "I want to know more about this life I supposedly lived,"

"You changed your name to Sera Mitsuharu and then ultimately to Field Haru after graduating high school," Subaru answered as he helped Haru into the passenger seat of his car. "You've lived at the Kudo House for the past few years with Kudo Shinichi while Masumi and our mother moved back to England. The public calls you Kudo Haru, the Replacement Detective, since you've been solving cases ever since Kudo Shinichi disappeared. You also have a cat named Cora,"

"I want to say that this is all a dream because forgetting nineteen years is…is so unbelievable and unfortunate," Haru closed his eyes. "I guess this is amnesia? I mean, there was that movie were Ran lost all of her memories. Ugh, why does this world have to be so complicated? It's more complicated than my first life! Why couldn't I just die and stay dead like everyone else?"

"Don't you ever say that again!"

"Why not?" Haru scoffed. "You're not the one suffering from all this shit!"

"Not the one suffering?" Subaru growled. "Do you know how it feels to watch your younger brother get shot and not being able to do anything? Do you know how it feels to hear that your younger doesn't remember anything about his family? About his friends? About his entire life? It doesn't just affect you, Mitsuharu. It affects everyone around you,"

"Stop calling me Mitsuharu!" He snapped. "I may be him in this world, and I may physically be him, but I have no memories of Akai Mitsuharu! Since you already know that I was never meant to exist, why do you still care about me!? I'm not your real younger brother!"

The car became silent for a few moments until Subaru finally spoke again. "Even though you didn't exist in the canon timeline, this is not the canon timeline. This is, in your words, an alternate universe. Even if I wanted to hate you, I can't because you are my younger brother. We share a brotherly bond. You also share a deep bond with the rest of our family and your friends. To us, you were meant to exist. We can't imagine a world where you didn't,"

Haru continued to stare out the window. "Are you really Akai Shuichi? That sounds way out of character for you,"

"Well, this isn't the canon universe," Subaru repeated. "And Akemi didn't die so I'm not as closed off as you described me as," He put a hand to Haru's shoulder. "I promise you that I'll help you regain your memories,"

I was originally thinking of having "Haru lose all memories of his second life" happen in the fourth movie but I had no idea how to go about it hence why it happens here.

Do you guys want me to (1) actually finish this story and then start posting the revamped version or (2) post the finished chapters (but it won't be complete nor will it reach the fall of the organization) of this story and then start posting the revamped version.
