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]

Haru was grabbing a midnight snack when he saw that Akai was awake and undisguised. "Where are you going at this hour?" He started to assemble a simple ham and cheese sandwich. "And you're undisguised,"

"Did I wake you?" Akai asked.

"No, I'm just hungry," He took a bite of his sandwich and frowned before reaching up and cracking open a new bottle of barbecue sauce. He poured some into his sandwich and then took a sip. "You still haven't answered my question,"

"You really need to cut back on your barbecue sauce intake," Akai stared at his younger brother with concern as he ate. "And I'm heading to police headquarters. Someone's intending on getting their hands on a NOC list,"

"Don't mind me then," Haru shooed him away. "Timing is very important,"

Akai gave another glance at Haru's over-sauced sandwich before leaving. This time he took the new red Ford Mustang he had bought. It wasn't the same as his Chevrolet C1500, but it was faster and more useful than the car Okiya Subaru owned. He wouldn't admit it out loud to anyone, but he also bought the Mustang because it looked cool.

'NOC list,' He hummed as he took a swig of barbecue sauce. 'I know it's not the Raven Chaser since we've already passed that and Pierrot didn't own a Mustang at the time. Pierrot also said that he's heading to police headquarters which is where Bourbon AKA Furuya Rei works. So…Darkest Nightmare? I am heading to Touto Aquarium with the Detective Boys and Professor Agasa. And there's the giant Ferris wheel there and all those colorful lights,'

'Curacao…she's going to be amnesiac,' Haru clenched his fists. 'The Ferris wheel…the kids will get trapped. It's rigged with explosives. The axis is destroyed. The wheel almost kills the kids and several other people including Ran and Sonoko. Curacao is the one who saves them at the cost of her life,' Fear began to fill him. 'If…if I interfere, I'd also be going against Gin. There's a chance my face will become known to the organization. If I screw anything up…there will be dire consequences,'

Haru had arrived about an hour earlier than the Detective Boys. He paid for his ticket and once he entered, he caught a whiff of gasoline. 'Calm down. Deep breaths,' He walked over to Curacao who sat on a bench and was covered in minor wounds. "Ma'am, are you alright?" He wore a latex mask to help conceal his identity in case any crow caught sight of him. He also had a spare voice changing choker around his neck, altering his voice to sound like a hot anime guy's. "You look like you're hurt and your clothes are a bit torn,"

"I…I'm fine, I think," Curacao responded.

"Would you like to go to the nurse's station?" Haru offered.

"No," She shook her head.

"How long have you been here?" Haru inquired.

"I…I'm not sure," She answered softly.

"May I see your phone?" Haru motioned to the cracked smartphone and received a nod. He tried clicking several buttons. 'It's no use; it's broken. I can try reviving it enough to send a message but it'll take some time,' "My name is Torao," 'I'm using Trafalgar Law's hated nickname as my alias…' "Do you know your name?"

"What's…my name?" She struggled for a moment before closing her eyes. "Sorry, I don't know,"

"It seems like you have amnesia," Haru told her gently. "I have a change of clothes in my backpack since sometimes the audience gets wet from the animal shows. Would you like to change into them since the ones you are wearing is a bit damaged?"

"Okay," Curacao agreed.

Haru led her to the women's bathrooms and passed her a long-sleeved t-shirt, long pants, and a baseball cap. After a few minutes, she came out in the fresh clothes. Haru couldn't help but stared at her wordlessly for a few moments before shaking his head. "Let's try walking around Touto Aquarium. Since you came here, it might help jog your memories,"

They stopped by the darts booth and Curacao scored three perfect bullseyes while Haru's three darts were scattered all over the target. Haru picked out a red dolphin keychain plushy while Curacao received a blank one for her to paint whatever color she desired. They tried out other games such as skee ball, balloon shot, cup ball, and can shot. Curacao scored high, almost nearly perfect scores, in all of the games.

They took a break for lunch to grab something to eat. As they ate, Haru attached his laptop and a bunch of wires to try to unlock Curacao's phone. It was taking a while but thankfully he was able to continue the process while everything was stuffed into his backpack. Curacao stared up at the giant Ferris wheel.

"Do you want to ride that?" Haru asked. "I can buy us some tickets,"

Curacao nodded. "It looks nice,"

Vermouth sat at a booth in a restaurant. She opened up her tablet and set up her camera, using the organization's program to scan all the faces the camera captured and found Curacao. She located her and used her binoculars to confirm that the program was right. She clicked the button on her earpiece. "I found her, Gin,"

"Where?"

"Touto Aquarium,"

"The aquarium?"

"Yes," Vermouth quickly packed up all of her things. "Don't worry, I'll bring her back right away,"

While they waited in line for the Ferris wheel, Vermouth leaned on the opposite side of the railing from Curacao. "What are you doing? We're heading back," She then started walking away.

Curacao briefly glanced at Vermouth but made no indication that she recognized her. "Ma'am, the line is moving forward," Haru tapped her shoulder.

"Sorry," Curacao moved forward with the line. "I thought someone was talking to me,"

Vermouth paused and looked back at her. "Something's wrong. She seems amnesiac,"

"Hurry up! Make sure she remembers everything!"

"Understood,"

Curacao and Haru sat in the passenger cabin. As Curacao watched the scene, Haru sent a text to his brother. Curacao's with me. When he looked up from his phone, he realized that the lights from below were overlapping each other. "Don't look!" 'I purposely came here earlier than the Detective Boys to keep them out of harm's way and to make sure the time doesn't match up for her to recall her memories in the Ferris wheel! Now she'll be taken to the hospital and the police will gain custody of her!'

Curacao screamed in pain and clutched her head. "Kir…Bourbon…Stout…Aquavit…Riesling…"

She was still in immense pain when the ride ended and of course the employees called an ambulance. Since her identity was unknown and she was suffering from amnesia, she was taken to a police hospital. Once it was identified that her head damage was caused by a car crash, she became a suspect of the nearby pile up from earlier.

Haru sent a text to his brother: It's following pretty much the same from canon, despite my interference. The PSB will gain custody of Curacao. You need to save Bourbon and Kir! They're going to be taken to some place where Gin, Vodka, and Vermouth are!

"We are here because of that NOC thing, right?"

"Curacao saw your names on the list," Gin dramatically turned on the spotlight to shine onto them. "You know perfectly well why you're here,"

"Curacao?" Bourbon questioned. "The agent that's close to Rum?"

"Yes, our specialist in information collecting," Kir informed.

"I keep telling you that your information isn't true!" Bourbon denied.

"Killing us here would be a great mistake," Kir added.

"We're all old pals," Vodka walked out from the shadows. "If you confess right away, we'll send you off sans any suffering,"

"Heh," Bourbon bluffed. "The reason you didn't kill us but kidnapped us is because the info from Curacao wasn't complete. Am I wrong?"

"Impressive, Bourbon," Gin commented.

"Luckily for you, we don't have that list right now," Vermouth said. "She got found out by the police and in the midst of escaping she caused an accident,"

"Then, why not recover Curacao to make her confirm that our names are absent from the list!?" Kir demanded, using a bobby pin to try to undo her handcuffs. "Gin, you can check whether we're NOCs or not after you get the list, can't you?"

"That's true but…" Gin stood up and drew his gun, aiming it at the two. "My way is to root out trouble at its earliest stage! Now, it's time for the traitors to be judged!"

Kir was shot in the shoulder which caused her to drop her bobby pin. Gin was about to fire a killing shot, but Akai shot the light out. When Vermouth turned on her phone flashlight, Bourbon was gone. While Vodka ran out to search for Bourbon, Gin decided to kill Kir instead. "The other rat ran away. I'll take care of you first. Goodbye, Kir"

"Wait! Don't kill her!" Vermouth stopped him once she received a call from Rum. "It's Rum's orders! Rum received an e-mail from Curacao. They had nothing to do with the NOC list,"

"She recovered her memory?" Gin asked.

"We told you," Kir's breathing was a bit heavy and she was losing blood. "We are victims of a conspiracy. You're not going to remove the cuffs already?"

"No," Vermouth refused. "It's a direct order from Rum. We must find Curacao to confirm if the mail was really sent by her. She must be in the police hospital, but under protection,"

"You're absolutely sure of this?" Gin questioned. "She's certainly our ally, but it seems that she's on the move," He called Chianti's phone.

"Nice timing, Gin. The PSB air-heads have finally gotten on the move!"

"Just as expected,"

"They don't even realize they're being tapped. What amateurs!"

"And? Where are they heading to?"

"Heh, they're heading exactly where you said they'd head to. They're putting her into a police car right now,"

"Get that aircraft ready!"

"You don't mean…"

"It's a good chance to try out its equipment,"

"Are you intending to start an all-out war or what!?"

"It's an order from Rum. We need to ensure the success of our mission,"

"Got ya,"

'Just in time!' Haru groaned, allowing his head to rest in front of his laptop. 'I managed to make it seem like Curacao sent that email. Maybe I shouldn't have altered this part of the movie. Thankfully, I often helped Professor Agasa with all his inventions growing up and I also studied technology stuff, so I was able to do what he did in canon. It was such a race against time. I hope Kir and Bourbon are alright,'

Haru hurriedly packed all his things up and sent a text to Akai: Explosives on the Ferris wheel. Not sure how many. The crows are using a weapon-equipped helicopter. He looked to the sky. 'Dangers rise at nightfall. If I am to interfere, I want to ensure my face isn't exposed. It's a good thing I was working on a costume nobody had ever seen before. It won't be weird to go out in public like this because they'll just think I'm one of the costume-wearing staff,'

Here's part one of The Darkest Nightmare. What is Haru up to? Remember, he has access to all of Conan's gadgets, is studying engineering, and has the funds to purchase materials.
