Chapter IIII:

Previously on Detective Ai:

So, for now, Shiho/Ai is shrunk and need to find those men in black.

The next few days

"Ai-Chan? I think you need to be enrolled in school." Akemi said. "Why?" Ai asked. "What if there will be a visitor in our house? Would they find it strange if a child is in here and not in school?" Akemi said. "I suppose you are right! Okay, I agree." Ai said.

The next few days

"Class, there are two new transferees I our class." Kobayashi-sensei said. "Edogawa-san, Haibara-san come in." Sensei welcomed them. Sensei wrote their names in the board. "Please introduce yourself." Sensei asked. "I am Edogawa Conan. Yoroshiku." Conan said. "I am Haibara Ai. Yoroshiku." Haibara introduced herself. "Now that you introduced yourselves, please sit wherever you like." Haibara sat at the chair near her window. A girl (A/N: This girl is Ayumi.) raised her hand. "Sensei? Over…" But Conan passed through her. "…here?". And sat beside Haibara. Haibara did not mind it.

After the class has ended.

"Haibara?" Conan asked. "What?" This got the girl's attention because Conan did not paid any attention at the lesson like her and did not talk also like her. "Can we go to the playground? I need to tell you something important." Conan said. We just saw each other this day and he wants to tell me something important? This is a bit suspicious… Ai thought. Ai smiled and said "Sure, Edogawa-kun!".

At the playground

Ai sat there at the swing. What on earth is taking him so long? Ai thought to herself. Ai saw Conan running to her. "Hi, Edogawa-kun!" Ai said. "Hello, Miyano." The raven-haired kid said to her. "What?" She asked, with fear in her voice. "Hello, Haibara. Why is something wrong with that?" Conan said to her. Relief washed over her. "At least, that is what a child would say if you were having a hallucination, Miyano." Conan said. Fear overcame relief in her. "Who are you…" She said, her eyes darkening, "…really?". "Kudo Shinichi. I am a chemist. The creator of the very drug you swallowed."

"What?" Anger came to her.

"I said I am Kudo Shinichi the chemist who created the drug you swallowed."

"You! So they are more than two!"

"Of course! We are an organization composed of thousands of members!"

"You… you…you snatch my life from me!"

"While you are the one who let my sister die!" Tears were coming from his eyes.

"What are you saying? I never let anyone die in any of my cases... that is except for one. If only, I had come more sooner… Wait, are you saying that Masami Hirota is your sister?"

"He… Calling my sister Masami Hirota, eh? How can you not guess it? You are a detective! You should know it! My sister's name came from Professor Masami Hirota! Her real name is… is… Mouri Ran! "

"Kudo-kun… I know how it feels like to lose someone you love… Because…"

"Because what?"

Tears are forming in her eyes. "I lost everyone in my family… So far, there are only two Miyanos left…" It was almost inaudible but more or less Conan heard it.

"What?"

"I lost everyone I love! Now, I am living with my sister in this form! I am not even a Miyano anymore! I am a Haibara!" Tears flowed through her cheeks.

"I guess we're suffering the same fate…"

"What do you mean?"

"We shrunk. We lost everyone we love. Well, except for your sister. And we are being hunted by the organization…" The last sentence came out in a whisper.

"I'm sorry, what was that?"

"We are hunted by the organization. Can't you see that? If I am seen, I will be brutally asked to your whereabouts! So that means, if the organization finds one, the organization finds the other."

"Oh. I can't let you be brutally asked. Maybe you should stay with us?"

"Oh, no need. Your sister already adopted me. So that's how I found your identity out. And she already knows mine."

"Oh, Okay! Let's go then!"

They went to home together hand-in-hand, as if they were brothers and sisters or even best friends. But the other (A/N: You will find who is this "other" at the end more or less of this story.) thinks of the other as "more than friends". I wish we will stay with each other for a long time…

Preview for the next chapter:

"Sure thing, best friend!" She was surprised. Me? A best friend? She thought. "Arigato…" She said, smiling "…Conan-kun…"
