A/N.

Aah! Finally! The second chapter! I can't write very often, so it takes a long time for a chapter to come out.

Disclamer: I, of course, do not own any of the DC characters.

Special Thanks to

Tsukiko95 and Duchess AnimieLove for the reviews and to tsunahime0602, Seto K4iba 1, Satansbratn, Em Phantom and Sailor Light Angel for adding my story to Story Alert/Favorite Story. Thank you!

"Talking"

'Thinking'

(A/N)

***= time change

"Oi! Help! Open the door!"

Conan frowned. The voice was vaguely familiar. "I think he needs help." He said to Agasa, and went to open the door, calling "I'm coming!" He opened the door to see…

"A, Akai-san?"

Akai had to smirk when he saw the surprise on the boy's face. "Finally," he said, limping into thehouse. "I thought you were never going to answer." Conan closed the door and quickly went beside him.

"Are you alright? How did you get into this mess? And how-"

he stopped, then whispered worriedly, "did they find out?" Akai raised an eyebrow. "As for the first question, does this look like I'm alright?" he asked with an underlying tone of sarcasm, spreading his arms and demonstrating the many rips, scratches,bruises and the blood on his forehead.

"As for the second question, I got into a fight with some of them."

Conan's eyes widened. He looked around worriedly. "So they did find you out!" he said in a far more hushed tone. Akai shook his head.

"They were new to the organization, so they didn't recognize me. And they were all caught."

Conan breathed out a sigh of relief and went to fetch the emergency kit. Akai limped to the sofa and stretched out his legs, also breathing out a sigh of relief, only for a different reason: Coming all the way from the department store to the house had totally exhausted him, and his twisted ankle hurt a lot because of negligence; Akai was not the kind who cared a lot about or tended to his wounds. Conan came back with the emergency kit and Akai started to patch himself up. Agasa-hakase came out of his experimenting room(he had hurried back inside after Conan went to open the door because his newest invention was falling apart). Akai spotted him and smirked slightly.

"I see that you are still obsessed with your inventions, hakase."

He said to Agasa. Agasa looked surprised. "How do you know me? I don't recognize you, kid." Akai grimaced slightly. 'he didn't have to call me kid…' Conan started to explain about Akai and how he had been Okiya Subaru and how he had gotten shrunk(Akai had told him about the fight when he was getting patched up). Agasa nodded slowly, trying to understand everything. "Oh, so he's another FBI agent?" he started to say something more, but was cutoff by a big BOOM. "I'm sorry, I have to go!" he said, and hurried back to his lab. Akai and Conan sighed and rolled their eyes in unison. Conan turned to Akai.

"So, what are you going to do?" he asked.

"Well, I certainly can't go back to the FBI since they think Kir killed me and they will know if I do, and I also certainly can't be Okiya anymore because of the, well, height difference, so I guess the answer is obvious."

Akai replied, leaning back with his hands behind his head the way Conan sometimes did. "I'll have to act like a regular kid going to school." Conan nodded in agreement. "You can go after Agasa-hakase takes care of some stuff, and we can buy clothes later." "There is one problem, though." Akai said. Conan's eyes became round, maybe by curiosity or surprise. "What? What is it?"

"Haibara." Akai said, glancing at the basement door. "I'm the reason her sister died. I don't think she'll forgive me. She is Miyano Shiho, right?" Conan nodded again. "Yes. She took the pills as well. And I... I did too." Akai looked up. "hm?" Conan's expression was set and determined. "I have something to tell you," he said. "My real name is Kudo Shinichi, a high-school detective…"

Conan finished his story. Akai didn't seem to be very surprised. "So that explains why you were so smart," he said. "The famous high-school detective has been helping the FBI crush the organization, eh?" Conan grinned sheepishly. "Well, yeah." He said. Then, he smirked evilly. "Let's share the pain of having to learn everything again, shall we?" Akai grinned as well. "I think I'll pass. I'll just sleep through the entire class." He stood up. "I'll see you tomorrow." He started to limp towards the door.(you know, his twisted right ankle)

Crash!

Akai and Conan turned around to see Haibara, her whole body trembling, the broken remainsof a cup rolling around her feet.

"Moroboshi… Dai?"

Yeeesh, I finally finished it! Haibara is finally here. I originally planned the going to school part here as well, but the last scene was such a good cliff-hanger that I had to cut it there XD. Also, you guys were waiting for the next chapter….I think. It's short, though. :( For people who don't know, Moroboshi Dai was Akai's (fake) name when he infiltrated the Organization. It's best that you watch Clash of Red and Black to understand this fic better. And I hope you understand that I wasn't very keen on writing this part since I didn't know how to right this, so it may be a little stiff and short and fast-paced. Oops :0

Reviews are appreciated. :)
