Engineer MOTZ1412: -ahem- Thank you for your patience. The train is good and running. Please enjoy this destination, "The Lost Treasure in Izu II".

Shinichi swam towards her, who was frantically catching her last breath. But before he could reach for her hand, she sank under water. Shinichi held his breath and dive. He saw her lose her conscious as he caught her by the wrist. He pulled her up and swung her body over his shoulder.

As he got her out of the water, his classmates gathered around them. He placed Ran on the sand, "Ran! Get a hold of yourself! Ran!" he called out, almost out of breath.

"Kudo-kun, please perform CPR! Aya-chan, please call someone from the management," Jodie-sensei ordered.

Shinichi leaned his ears towards her mouth. He pinched her nose and gave two long breaths. Suddenly, he felt her move under his lips. He pulled back as she sat up a little and coughed. She inhaled , "Shinichi…," her eyes half-opened."Ran," Shinichi and Sonoko both said in relieve.
"Mouri-san, please hold on," Jodie-sensei warmly said with a smile,"bring her to her room, please," she ordered Shinichi.

He slipped his arms under her knees and under her back as he carried her. Sonoko, Yumi, Shun and Hiroshi followed. "The rest of you, please gather in the lobby," sensei ordered.

----------------------

Ran slowly opened her eyes and the first person she saw was,

"Ran, you're awake!" Sonoko sat up from the chair. She kneeled beside her best friend, "you scared us," she sobbed. "I'm sorry," Ran whispered as she coughed a little. She sat up and felt as if someone was holding her hand. She looked beside her and saw Shinichi, sitting on a chair beside her bed, his head on her bed. "He fell asleep while he was waiting for you," Shun smiled. "He even refused to eat his afternoon snack," Aya sat beside Sonoko. "Well, all we can say is, he was extremely worried," Hiroshi folded his arms behind his head as he leaned against the window.

Ran's eyes softened as she looked at him, "worried, huh?" she mumbled. Suddenly, there was a knock. Jodie-sensei stuck her head inside, "Mouri-san! You're finally awake!" she smiled, closing the door behind her, "you worried us, really," she put her hands on her waist. "Sorry," Ran chuckled softly.

Suddenly, the saw Shinichi opened his eyes. He sat up, "Ran," he looked at her, his grip tightened, "are you okay? Anything hurt?" he said so quickly. "I'm fine," she smiled. "Thank goodness," he sighed.

Jodie smiled, "I think we should give them time, right?" she winked as she left the room. Sonoko and Aya stood up, "well, I guess we should join Yumi and the others," Sonoko smiled. "Oi, Kudo! Eat your snack, okay?" Hiroshi and Shun closed the door behind them as Ran and Shinichi could hear their footsteps leaving.

At last, they were alone. "You should be careful, next time," Shinichi blushed, as he took his hand from her and leaned back. Ran looked at him, "I've been sleeping for a while now, haven't I?" she asked. "How'd you know?" he asked, looking around.

"See? You're already dressed up and I heard Sonoko and the others ate their snacks already," she smiled.

He smiled, "some detective we have here," he chuckled. Ran giggled, "anyway," she smiled, "I want to tell you something about my drowning. It is quite queer, I suppose," she put her finger on her chin, "I can't recall much but…,"

"Queer? What do you mean?" he asked, seriously.

"Well," Ran looked at him, "I remembered someone pulling my leg downwards," she frowned, "he had a tough grip too." Shinichi put his hand under his chin, "I see…," he mumbled.

There was silence. His sighing was the only thing that was audible.

Suddenly, Shinichi stood up, "anyway. Come on, I'll take you to the snack bar," he grinned. Ran nodded, "sure. But I have to dress up first," she blushed a little. "No worries. Sonoko took care of that," he smiled. Ran looked down, "oh," she smiled. Shinichi took her by hand as she blushed, "come on. I'm hungry and it's your fault," he sneered. "I'm sorry," Ran lowered her head. Suddenly, Shinichi held her chin up and leaned towards her, "I'm joking," he winked.

-----------------------

"Oh, so you came to the rescue, I see," Ran bit her sandwich. "You should be thankful, you know," he looked away, blushing a little. Ran leaned towards him, "thank you, great Meitantei," she smiled, causing him to blush even more.

"What do we have here…?" a voice suddenly said. "This isn't time to date, you two," said another. Shinichi and Ran looked up. "We are not!" Ran shot back. "Anyway, Ran," Aya smiled, "we caught something on tape," she and Sonoko grinned. "You might want to see it," Sonoko chuckled and looked at Shinichi, "it's something Kudo-kun haven't told you," they winked.

"Oh, darn. Not that!" Shinichi thought with a blush. "Come on! Everyone's watching it in the lobby!" Sonoko pulled Ran. "Ah, w-wait!" Shinichi called, "what do you mean by 'everyone'?" he asked stupidly. "Sonoko and Aya looked at each other and then to him. They both laughed and pulled Ran while Shinichi followed.

----------------------

Ran sat on a couch, in front of a television. Shinichi stood behind her, blushing as he tried to NOT look. "Okay, everyone! Let's get this tape rolling," Yumi called. Everyone snickered and quiet down as Shun pressed 'play'.

IN THE TELEVISION:

"Ran! Get a hold of yourself! Ran" Shinichi kneeled beside her. "Kudo-kun, please perform CPR! Aya-chan, please call someone from the management," Jodie-sensei ordered.

Shinichi leaned his ears towards her mouth. He pinched her nose and gave two long breaths. Suddenly, he felt her move under his lips. He pulled back as she sat up a little and coughed. She inhaled , "Shinichi…," her eyes half-opened. "Ran," Shinichi and Sonoko both said in relieve. "Mouri-san, please hold on," Jodie-sensei warmly said with a smile.

"Bring her to her room, please," sensei told Shinichi. HE slipped his arms under her knee and under her back as he carried her. Sonoko, Yumi, Shun and Hiroshi followed. "The rest of you, please gather in the lobby," sensei ordered.

Suddenly, there was clicking sound and the tape stopped. Everyone looked at Ran, who was blushing. "Wasn't THAT something?" Sonoko smiled at Shinichi. "It was CPR," he mumbled. "I bet he enjoyed it!" Shun grinned and everyone laughed. Ran just sat there, her face flushed red.

"I can't believe you, guys!" Ran blushed while everyone laughed, "I was drowning and you were busy taking photos of this?!" she blushed and pouted. Suddenly, Hiroshi handed her the tape, "you can have it, if you want," he smiled, "we didn't do it on purpose but we supposed you would want to see it," he grinned maniacally. Everyone snickered.

"Mou, you guys…," Ran blushed. She looked up but Shinichi was gone.

-----------------------

THAT NIGHT…

Ran tossed and turned on her bed. She couldn't sleep not because she was bothered by Sonoko's constant sleep talking, she was just worried that maybe she would be attacked again. She sat up and looked beside her, at Sonoko.

She chuckled softly as Sonoko mumbled Makoto's name. She stood up and left her room. The hallway was dimmed but not that dark. She walked silently and passed Shinichi's room. She stopped but then, proceeded walking, barefoot. She walked outside and towards the shore.

She was wearing a thin orange shirt and white shorts so you couldn't blame her as she shivered a little, as she sat down on the sand. She pulled out a small bottle from her picket. She scooped a handful of sand and poured it into the small bottle as she smiled. Suddenly, the breeze blew stronger, causing her to shiver a little.

Not long, she felt something on her shoulders. She looked up and there, stood Shinichi. "What are you doing?" he asked, one eyebrow up. "Collecting sand," she hugged his jacket as she continued collecting sand, "they said that if you collect sand, your wish would come true," she smiled. He sat beside her, "what did you wish for?" he asked curiously, looking at the bottle.

"It's a secret. Of course, it wouldn't come true if I tell you," she smiled at him. He looked at her with half-moon eyes, "c'mon. Tell me," he begged. "N-O way!" she giggled, shoving the bottle to her pocket. She hugged her knees as she stared at the sea.

"You couldn't sleep as well, huh?" he asked. She nodded, "maybe because of the incident a while ago," she smiled a little. Suddenly, the breeze blew in again, causing him to shiver a little. "Here," she handed him his jacket, "you can have it," she smiled. "N-no thanks. You can use it," he turned towards the moon.

"Stop acting cool," she wrapped the jacket around his shoulders. Suddenly, He pulled her by the shoulder, causing her to lean on him. He wrapped the other side of the jacket on her shoulder, "we COULD share," he smiled. She nodded with a smile, "fair enough."

After a while, she felt his hand sliding around her waist. She didn't mind at all, leaning her head on his shoulder as she stared up at the moon. There was silence as the waves came in and pulled away. Suddenly, they heard a thumping sound near by, as if cause by a hammer. Shinichi and Ran looked around them, "you hear that?" Ran whispered. Shinichi nodded, "yeah," he slowly stood up while Ran stood up as well.

She leaned behind him, both hands on either on his shoulder as she pressed her body against him, hiding behind him, "go, take a look," she spoke softly. Shinichi stared at her with half-moon eyes and sighed. They walked towards the nearby bush as Shinichi and Ran crouched down. Shinichi pulled the bush aside to take a peek but suddenly, he felt her pressed against him again.

"Uh, Ran," he whispered with a blush.

"What?" she asked.

"Y-your…," he looked away, "i-it's bothering a little," he blushed even more. She looked at him and suddenly, realized what he was pertaining at, "s-sorry," she blushed as she leaned a little backward, folding her arms over her chest. "As much as I want it, I can't concentrate with it bothering me," he thought with a blush.

He pulled the bush aside and saw, "that's…," Ran whispered. Shinichi nodded, "I wonder what he is doing with that hammer?" As soon as the man climbed up the rocky wall, Shinichi and Ran followed.

"You stay here," Shinichi said, "I'll follow him up," he grabbed the first rock on the wall and helped him up. "W-wait, I'll come too," she tried to climb and follow him. "No! You might get hurt," he jumped down again. "I won't. Please?" she begged. Shinichi looked at Ran, who was doing her puppy eyes on him. He sighed sharply, "alright." He blushed, "but don't do anything stupid," he warned.

---------------------

As soon as they reached the top, Shinichi pulled her hand up. They were surprised to find a cave, "so, the rumors were right," he mumbled. He took a step near the cave, pressing his back against the wall outside the cave. He took a peek and saw a man, hammering a huge silver chest. Ran, who just got up, walked near to Shinichi, "what's wro-hmph..,"

Shinichi wrapped his arms around her and covered her mouth. He pressed her body against him as his face turned towards the cave. She could feel his heart beat faster. She didn't know what was happening so she kicked him. "Ow!" he shouted but then, covered his mouth, his eyes widened.

"Who's there?!" the man called out from the cave. He flashed his flashlight to Ran's and Shinichi's face, "i-it's you!" the man exclaimed. Shinichi put on his detective smile and stood in front of the cave, "so the rumors are true," he smiled, "Mr. Yamazaki!"

Ran stared to the man, wearing a hat. Mr. Yamazaki held up a gun, "pesky kids," he mumbled with a smile. He shot the rock between Ran and Shinichi, who ran to the right while Ran hid behind the wall where they were a while ago. Shinichi ran towards Mr. Yamazaki but Mr. Yamazaki, ran towards Ran and wrapped his arms around her and pointed the gun on her neck.

"Ran!" Shinichi exclaimed. Ran raise her elbow to hit Mr. Yamazaki on the ribs but he pressed the gun on her neck harder, "don't dare to attack me, missy," he smiled, "or I'll take your life," he smiled. Yamazaki, with Ran, walked backwards until they reached the edge of the mountain. Below them was the sea, splashing against the rocky wall.

"Release her!" Shinichi exclaimed, "or else your plan will be gone!" he added. "Plan?" Ran asked. "Oh, what a child! You figured it out?" Yamazaki smiled. Shinichi nodded, "you found this treasure a year ago after your bankruptcy," Shinichi tapped the silver chest with his foot, "one day, you accidentally killed 4 students here. You got rid of the bodies and spread the rumors about the cursed cave so that no one will come near your treasure. A while ago, you saw Ran swimming towards here and you thought she knew about the treasure so you tried to drown her to show as if it were an accident. But your plan failed because Aya saw Ran waving as you pulled her leg," Shinichi looked at him, "am I correct?"

Yamazaki chuckled, "darn you. I have to kill you as well," he smiled. "What?!" Shinichi cursed under his breath. Yamazaki readied his finger on the trigger, "but say goodbye to your girlfriend first," he chuckled. "NO!" Shinichi shouted.

Yamazaki pressed the trigger, Ran shut her eyes tight but suddenly, there wasn't any firing. Shinichi stared at Yamazaki with dotted-eyes, "excuse me?" he mumbled. "Cursed it!" Yamazaki threw the gun away and pushed Ran on the edge of the mountain. She shrieked, "Shinichi!"

Shinichi ran towards the edge while Yamazaki ran passed him towards the chest but as he passed by Shinichi, he was shot by the tranquilizer. Yamazaki fell on the floor, unconscious. Shinichi jumped towards Ran.

He reached out and caught her by the arms. He hugged her tight, putting one hand behind her head as they splashed under the water. They both caught their breaths as they swam towards the shore.

Exhausted, Shinichi laid her on the sand, "thanks," she mumbled, almost out of breath. Shinichi smiled and wrapped his arms around her before he collapsed beside her.

--------------------------

That same night, Jodie-sensei discovered the unconscious students and Shinichi told her what happened. Of course, Jodie-sensei, who was an FBI agent, arrested Yamazaki for attempting murder and robbery. Ran was safely bought to the clinic in Izu while Shinichi answered the questioning of the police. Of course, the treasure in Izu was safely recovered and brought to the government. Sonoko's father bought Izu but did not destroy the island. Izu was still kept under the management of Suzuki Corporation.

THE NEXT MORNING…

"Whoa! That was so cool!" Shun exclaimed. Shinichi just chuckled suddenly, Sonoko, Aya, Yumi and Ran entered the lobby. Ran sat beside Shinichi, "I heard from Jodie-sensei that she found you two hugging," Sonoko grinned. "Really?" Hitoshi smiled.

Yumi and Aya nodded, "aww, so sweet," they teased. Ran blushed, "it wasn't like that," she denied. But Shinichi held her hand which surprised everyone, including Ran, "yeah, it was like that," he smiled.

There was silence.

"I g-guess we should eat out breakfast," Sonoko said with half-moon eyes. "Yeah, now that they're a couple, it's no fun when we tease," Yumi followed and so did everyone.

"What was that about?" she looked at Shinichi. "What does it look like?" he asked with a smile.
