A/N: Hello again, sorry for the late update :( I wasn't able to type up the chapter till now but let's stop the ranting and talk later. TO THE STORY :

Previously on The Worlds Collide:

"I'm… your… cousin… You mean that your Kaito. Kuroba Kaito. The cousin that I haven't been able to find, no matter how much I tried to stay in touch."

"You weren't able to find me, because I made myself untraceable. You can't find me unless I want you too. I didn't know it was you. I didn't even know you were my cousin."

" Shinichi, are you mad because I'm your cousin? Because I'm a… thief."

"Are you mad because your cousin is a shrunken kid? Are you mad that I… I brought my bad luck on your family? NO, you were not mad and you supported me and I'm pretty sure that you still would! I would never be mad about that and don't you even say I'm ashamed. Because I am more proud of you then I am of anything else. Even if I'm a detective, I'm pretty sure that I would have done the same thing and even more, screw the rules. You aren't killing anyone and you return everything that you steal so you aren't doing this for the money so please, believe me when I say that you are amazing and that I would do anything to help you thief or not, cousin or not."

Kaito suddenly dropped to his knees and hugged Shinichi and sobbed at his shoulders. Soon both cousins were crying. While soon Kaito calmed down, after all his tears had already been spent years ago and whenever he needed too, Shinichi never had that chance and never had a shoulder to cry on since he didn't want anyone to see him weaker than he thought he already was. He bawled like the child he was representing but these were truthful tears. Tears of hurt that spent years locked in his heart and now when the chance came, it unlocked itself. Years worth of pain and hurt that weren't able to be let out before where let loose now. All the pain of being shrunk, of losing everyone close to him and his parents leaving him while they toured the world like he didn't matter and that he came in second place. All the pain and hurt of knowing that this world was mocking him and gave him the worst luck of all. And… and of finding his cousin that he lost contact with and knowing that he was alive and well and that they weren't gonna be separated ever again. Somehow things were gonna get better. They both knew it, no matter what they had to do in order to achieve that.

~Time skip:Later that day~

Later after they both finished their reunion, they both went home. But due to both being tired they chose to go to the Kudo house but first Shinichi had to stop somewhere.

"Kaito you can go on, I need to speak to the professor for a few."

"Are you sure? I can stay with you, if you'd like."

"It's alright, I need to do this by myself."

"Ok, just remember that I'm next door."

After Kaito left, he knocked on the door. After about a minute of silence, he heard movement behind the door. Then the door opened and Agasa's face became visible.

"…Who-SHIN-CONAN! Come in, come in. I didn't know you were coming back today. I missed you my dear boy."

The professor looked so excited to see him, that it hurt Shinichi to think that Agasa who was a grandfather to him in all but blood, that had helped him during his worst of times had told his terrible past to someone even after he had swore not too.

"Hakase, it's nice to see you too but I have an important matter to speak to you about"

For a moment Agasa looked confused but when he saw Shinichi he understood. Shinichi knew. He knew that he told Haibara. And he wasn't happy.

"Shini-"

"Why? That's all I want to know. Why would you tell her. I don't need anyone's pity and she is no different than anybody."

"Shinchi please listen to me. Ai-kun… she was worried for you. Your actions scared her into thinking about things that she didn't want to think would be able to happen to you. She knew that I know you the most, so she called me. She told me what was happening to you and your actions and I recognized those symptoms. I am sorry and I know that you might never forgive me, but I beg you don't blame her. When I recognized your symptoms I asked her why she wanted to know. She told me that she cares about you. You could ask her yourself and she would tell you. She sees you as a younger brother and she cares about you too much to see you hurting and leave you like that. I told her and afterwards she told me that she doesn't pity you no, she knows that your pain made you who you are today and sees it as a painful thing that no one should go through just like what she went through. Please. Please understand."

Shinichi felt tired. Tired of everything. Past feelings that he had buried were starting to creep up and he wasn't liking it not one bit. And he cared too much about Haibara and Hakase to stay mad at them for long. He wasn't really mad. He just had thought that his past should stay buried to help him move on, and so no one would pity him and see him as a weak person. It had made him lose many friends back when he was little when the parents found out and told their child which ended up with them treating him like some pity collector. He didn't need their pity. All he needed was to be treated like a normal person and to forget everything that had happened to him. After the final disaster Hakase was one of the only people to help him move on. He was there for him in everything. He wouldn't be angry at him for nothing. He was one of the only people he trusted completely which was a short list that didn't even include his parents. But that was a long topic of its own. Right now he wanted to relax, but he knew the day was far from over. He sighed then began speaking.

"Hakase, I was mad because… I bury these memories deep inside so they can't hurt me. Me apologizing to you won't fix anything. But I hope you will forgive me. You are the closest person to me these days and I see you as a second father to me or even a grandfather in all but blood. I couldn't lose you for anything or I would be destroyed. I will go and apologize to her and see if she will forgive me."

"Shinichi, there is nothing for me to forgive. I wasn't even mad at you. It was my fault for telling your story without asking you, but I don't blame myself either. Ai-kun truly cares about you and will have found out either way if she wanted to. And I personally think that she will forgive you. She would know that you are stressed and wouldn't be mad at you. Quite the opposite I think. But Shinichi if you ever feel something please come to me. You know me. I want to help you, and venting every once in awhile won't hurt you, so please remember that."

"Yeah, thanks Hakase."

Even after that was done, he still had many things to do. That included finding Haibara and apologizing for that afternoon. But first he had to tell Kaito.

"KAITO,come here."

"What's with the screaming Shinichi? Couldn't you just come in?"

"No, I have some other place to go and it might take a little longer, so get comfortable in the house as if it's your own. I will be back soon but I don't have an exact time or estimate since I don't want to worry you."

"I can just come with you, if you want. You seem ready to drop. Can't you leave it for tomorrow?"

" No can do Kaito. It has to be finished today. It is after all my fault anyways so yeah."

"K, see you later then."

"See you later."

Walking to the Mouri's office had never felt that dreadful. He knew he would not only have to face Haibara but also the Mouri's. Especially Mouri Ojisan who had known of everything from the start and had helped him go through his pain. He was sharper than he let on and he knew that. After all it wasn't hard for him to notice his scrutinizing looks that he shot him however so subtle. The only reason he noticed them was that Shinichi was always on the lookout. He was a light sleeper from the beginning but now it was like he wasn't even asleep. Even with his eyes closed and him partially sleeping he could feel and hear everything so that he could jump awake whenever he needed to. It was hard to sneak up on him due to his paranoia which was so extreme that when the one time he wasn't aware and was tapped on the shoulder from behind he had that person in a complicated twist and was lucky he hadn't hit them. He was even luckier that it was the Shounen Tantei-dan and no one else since they believed the lie that Haibara had told them. But he knew that Mouri Kogoro still caught some things on him and with what he heard today, he wouldn't be surprised if he knew. He was up for a really, really long night.

~Earlier after Conan left~

"Ai-chan, are you alright?" Ran didn't expect her to answer. Yet she surprised them by answering. She was sobbing and speaking.

"I...I didn't want...to hurt him. I just wanted to...I just wanted to speak to him and help him."

"Is it a sensitive topic?"

"Even if it was, I couldn't bear not speaking to him. He...he is the closest person to me and one of the only people to understand me after the death of my sister."

"Ai-chan... do you like Conan-kun? Is that why?"

"No, that's far from the answer. Edogawa-kun is the closest I have gotten to a person after the death of my sister. He is like a brother to me! I can't bear to see him hurt when he took all my cruel words at that time. He took all the cruel words and yet still stood by me and helped me get better and even risked his life to save mine. And I want to be able to help him!"

Ran was lost. No,she was beyond lost. She had no idea of what Haibara was speaking about and she was surprised to find out that Haibara had lost her sister. She was no longer in control. She didn't know how to comfort Haibara and she was still thinking about what Conan had said. As for Mouri. He was another story altogether.

He was thinking about what the boy had said. He said he saw his sister and his best friend die in front of him as he was getting kidnapped. That was a bit too much to be a coincidence. A coincidence to what happened to Shinichi in his childhood. It was impossible to be a coincidence. Something was going on. And he was going to find out.

"Ai-chan, I'm pretty sure that he's not mad at you. I mean this is Conan-kun. He never keeps a grudge."

"On a separate topic though might you please explain what was going on? I have a faint idea but it isn't pretty and if it's true then today will be much longer than it is already."

"What do you mean Mouri-san? There is nothing to explain other than that Edogawa-kun just got mad at me because I pried into what I had no business in. Otherwise, there is nothing to explain."

"Care to explain what his past includes? Because what I happened to hear from your very loud shouting happened to strike a similarity to someone I have been thinking about lately."

"It is not my story to tell if there is any story anyways."

" You should start speaking because what you don't know is that if it's true then things will be starting from anew that we can't have happening. We barely stopped them the first time to be able to stop them again."

"I have NO idea what you are speaking about."

" Oh really, you're gonna play that card! Fine then! I will play mine. What we heard about so-called Edogawa Conan happens to be exactly what happened to Kudo Shinichi when he was young. Don't even try to deny it, because I was told the full story and I helped him get through his worst bout of depression. And I know that you know exactly what I mean when I say that if we don't start taking steps toward him getting better, history will repeat itself. And I'm not sure we will be able to stop it this time. It just Might be too late!"

"Otousan, what are you talking about? What about Shinichi? And what about history repeating itself? Shinichi has been fine for a really long time? And he's not even here?"

Ran slowly started breaking down, the tension and stress in the air getting too her. She started sobbing. Not loud enough for anyone outside the room to hear, but loud enough that everyone in the room can hear her agony. She was worried for Shinichi and Conan-kun who just a couple of days ago broke down and hadn't seemed to get better at all. No, he just seemed to get worse. Until today happened. He exploded and ran away to who knows where and now her father was speaking about Shinichi and history repeating itself. Her father bent down and hugged her till she stopped crying. As this was happening, Haibara made up her mind.

" Mouri-san, is this office bugged?"

"Wha-"

"Is it bugged?"

"I haven't checked. But it's usually not."

"Of course, it wouldn't. Edogawa-kun does a bug sweep three times a day, everywhere he goes."

"Why would he do that?

" His paranoia is stronger than anyone else's. I'm guessing that you're also that person who has been keeping him awake at night."

"Awake at night?"

"For the past two months Edogawa-kun has been feeling watched. He hasn't been able to sleep since then because he feels that whoever is watching him is watching him 24-hours."

"Why would he need to be that paranoid?"

"Being paranoid is what has kept him alive till now."

"Is this his everyday life?"

"He has faced death on his own many times and has faced death even more to save others. He goes through alot but keeps it in fear to show feelings to others who might see him as weak. You are lucky if you see true emotion on his face, for it doesn't happen much anymore. What happened today was just an example."

"What do you mean?"

" He wasn't mad at me. He was scared that I found out something that he'd rather keep to himself. But I couldn't let him keep it to himself because he is only hurting himself that way. He will keep pretending he is fine until he breaks."

"So what are you gonna do now?"

"I can only tell you so much. The rest he tells you since, it's not my story and he only can choose to tell you since he knows what exactly happened. Just know that if you find out anything else you will put yourselves and everyone around you in extreme danger and that if me or him are targeted or found out you will most likely be on their hit list t-"

" You're only kidding yourselves. If what you're saying is true then we will be targeted the moment you get found out or become a target for them, because I'm pretty sure they won't wait and see who knows what and who doesn't. Either way whether we know or not we will be targeted. You are coming up with these statements just for peace of mind. I don't blame you but no one should live a lie and you know it or else you wouldn't have tried to help him."

" You are right. On that note, Let's begin. This story starts…

A/N: Hello everyone! I am sad and I beg for forgiveness! I hadn't updated in so long but I hope that this chapter makes up for it. But here I am uploading and not ditching it. I can't work on more than one thing at a time so that is why I am not uploading any story until this is done, but don't worry much is too come! We are VERY close to finishing part 1 which mainly focuses on Detective Conan . After we finish that (*Sneak peak/Hint) the dreams will start coming and Yugioh starts to make its way into the spotlight. And Conan's powers (The Bracelet of Darkness: remember it. I feel old remembering it, it's been so long ago) will appear slowly and the AU will finally start taking shape. Also heads up soon his parents will be in the picture and things will get desperate (what is that supposed to mean, Can anyone guess? Tell me in the comments) In this fic, Mouri Kogoro is Sharp, Smart and not as dumb as everyone thinks. To anyone who has watched the movies, remember movie 9. He truly showed his smarts and since then I have seen him in a new light and really like it when he is given the respect that he deserves. So he will be gaining that in this fic. Anyways enough chatting and

SEE YOU NEXT TIME! :)
