The Devious Plan

Suzuki Sonoko grinned when she saw the new couple who were walking hand in hand. She waved to them as they spotted her.

"My my, don't you two look cute together?"

Both Ran and Shinichi blushed at that.

"I take it that you two are now dating?" Sonoko smirked. Shinichi gave her a look.

"Sonoko!"

"Gomen, gomen. I'll keep my mouth shut." The heiress gave the two a knowing devilish look.

"Anyhow, I need to meet my client now." Shinichi quickly gave Ran a kiss on the cheek to which Ran responded with another blush. "I'll catch up with you in Japan then Ran. I'll miss you!"

Ran opened her mouth to reply before Sonoko butted in, "Kudo-kun, that won't be necessary. Your client is very satisfied with your actions."

The two young adults stood dumbfounded for a while before realising they had been set up.

"SONOKO! Why the heck would you do that? You could have just told me beforehand or something." The karate champion was shocked to find that the trip was all thanks to her friend's matchmaking plan.

"And would you have believed me?" Sonoko raised an eyebrow.

"She's got a point there," Shinichi responded, "In a way, Sonoko, I owe you. Thanks anyway."

Ran glared at him and he could tell she was saying that's not the point here. Sonoko grinned.

"So now that my plan worked perfectly, I guess it's time to head back to the hotel I booked in London. Oh and Kudo-kun, I made specific arrangements that your room is next to Ran's. Have fun." She gave them a cheeky wink before heading off to call a cab.

Shinichi looked at Ran amused before saying, "And all this time you probably thought it was fate."

Ran flashed a look of annoyance. "I did not! I bet that was you."

Shinichi smiled softly before pulling her into his tight embrace and brushing his lips against her ear, he murmured, "Maybe..."

And there, the second chapter is done! HUGE SMILEY FACE! I'm sorry there wasn't a lot of ShinRan moments but I promise you, I'm working on it! Next chapter will be about their first date. Look forward to it :). Review and get a huge virtual hug! :)
