Chapter 5: Christmas Day

Disclaimer: I don't own Detective Conan in anyways.

A/N: Hi!

Previously on Detective Ai:

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…

"Tadaima!" Conan and Ai said. "Okaeri." Akemi replied. "I see you've met little Kudo-kun here." Akemi said to Ai. "Yeah, it was quite a surprise for me." Ai said. Conan sighed. "Why? What's wrong, Kudo-kun?" Akemi asked when she noticed Conan sighing. "Nothing…" Conan whispered. "Oh. Okay." Akemi said. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot!" Akemi said that got the attention of the two which were deep in thought. "Nani?" The two 'children' said. "Sister? Do you like the new Prada handbag which was released yesterday?" Akemi asked. "Ummm… Of course… Why did you ask?" Ai said. "Oh. No reason…" Akemi replied, suspiciously as if she was trying to give a clue to someone. And that someone noticed it. I wonder why… That someone thought.

~ The next day ~

The two woke up, dressed up, ate and brushed their teeth. They are now prepared to go to school. "Goodbye! Advance Merry Christmas!" Akemi said. The two just stood there. "Why? What's wrong?" Akemi thought for a second and guessed. "You forgot that Christmas is near aren't you?" Akemi asked with a hint of teasing in her voice. Both nodded slightly. Akemi put on her I-knew-it! look. They both rushed to go out. "Edogawa-kun?" Ai finally spoke up. "Nani?" Conan replied. "Can you… ummm… help me find a gift for my sister?" Ai said. "Sure thing, best friend!" She was surprised. Me? A best friend? She thought. "Arigato…" She said, smiling "…Conan-kun…"

Again they went to school hand in hand.

~ At school ~

"Ohayou, sensei!" The class 1-B recited dutifully. "Sit down, everyone." Sensei said. And the class went on so on and so forth.

~ End of school ~

"Edogawa-kun!" Haibara rushed to Conan. She came to him panting. "Can *pant* you *pant* help me *pant* in getting a *pant* gift for my sister?" Haibara asked. "Sure."

They walked together. They already chose a gift for her sister.

~ Christmas ~

"Merry Christmas, minna-san!" Akemi greeted excitedly. They went on and on until it is time to give presents. "Okay. Did anyone brought me a present?" Akemi asked excitedly. "Of course, Onee-Chan!" Haibara said. Conan and Haibara gave her their gifts. Ai's was a blue pearl bracelet and Conan's was a brown bear stuff toy. "Wow! Sugoi!" Akemi said when she opened the presents. "It's Conan-kun's turn!" Akemi said. Akemi gave Conan her present and Haibara gave Conan her their presents for her. Akemi gave Conan a green scarf and Ai gave Conan a 4th year college Chemistry book. "Arigatou Goizamasu!" Conan said when he opened the present. "It's Haibara's turn!" Conan announced. Akemi gave Ai yellow cute little tiny mittens and Conan gave Ai the new Prada handbag which was released the day after tomorrow. "I don't know what to say except… Arigatou!" Then she hugged the two. This was the best Christmas Day ever.

A/N: How's that? I can't think of any presents, so I thought of simple ones.

"Aishiteru… But, I know you can't and will never be…" Someone whispered almost inaudibly. The wind blew.
