Chocolates
(KoichixRuriko)
Disclaimer: Detective Conan belongs NOT to me but to the great GOSHO AOYAMA! But, Ruriko Kudo and Koichi Kuroba belong to me!
Motz1412: A pleasant day/night to my lovely passengers! This is your locomotive engineer, motzKID and I will be with you for today's trip! I present to you yet, another inspiring story by my favorite couple RurikoxKoichi!
Kuoroba Koichi and Kudo Ruriko can be read on Chapter 23 and 25!
"Man," she whined, "where in the world is Koichi?" she mumbled impatiently, glancing at her watch for the 486th time. It was dismissal as she sat on a bench in their school yard for 15 minutes now, but still, no sign of him.
----------------
Kudo Ruriko, age 8, is a normal school girl living in Tokyo. Well, the fact that she had been chased by a mob of boys 20 minutes ago, yep, she's pretty popular. But you can't blame her. Her father, Kudo Shinichi is a world-known detective and her mother, Kudo Ran is a Karate Champion of Tokyo for the past 10 years.
----------------
So let me rephrase the first sentence of the second paragraph. Kudo Ruriko, age 8, is far too lucky to study in Teitan Elementary. Both her parents and her were popular, the fact that she has been chased by a mob of boys.
As she sat there, looking all, well, idiotic as she mumbled to herself, she didn't notice a boy, with a cocky grin on, approaching her from behind. Holding two cans of Cola, he pressed it against her cheek, causing her to sit up in startle. She looked to her left, "Koichi…?" she mumbled, holding her cheeks.
"Here," he grinned, handing her a cola, "it's for you. You must be tired from running like an idiot through the halls with a sea of boys running after you with chocolate boxes in their hands," he said, oh-so-quickly. She smiled, accepting the cola, "well, it IS Valentines' day," she opened the can and began drinking.
---------------
Kuroba Koichi, age 8, IS a normal student of Teitan Elementary. His father, Kuroba Kaito, a known magician and his mother, Kuroba Aoko is a housewife, well, sorta.
Koichi would always hear her say, "I'm a HOUSEwife but the least thing I do around is to stay out of HOUSE! Do I have to run every errand you two are causing me?" she would always say.
Kaito and Koichi will both whine until she'd given up. Like father like son, they would always say.
----------------
Koichi sat beside his childhood friend, taking a sip from the cola, "oh yeah," he suddenly said, he opened his school bag and seemed to look for something. Ruriko stared at him with those blue eyes of hers, "what is, Koichi?" she asked.
Suddenly, he handed her a box of chocolate, "m-my mom told me to give it to you," he scratched his cheeks, hiding his blush. Ruriko blinked at him and then to the box, perfectly wrapped in a pink wrapper, suddenly, she smiled, a tiny blush forming on her cheeks, "thanks!" she hugged him happily.
"H-hey, stop it!" he pushed her.
"I'm just so happy," she giggled as she pulled back. She took and box and held it, staring at it with a big smile. Koichi looked at her with half-moon eyes and shifted his eyes on a tree in front of them. He didn't dare to look at her.
Ruriko smiled as she opened the box, "wow," she mumbled, taking a chocolate and eating it. She looked at Koichi, who was staring blankly at the tree in front of them. She smiled and pushed him on the shoulder using her shoulder, "hey," she called. Koichi glanced at her, "w-what?"
"Thank you," she smiled, looping her arm on his arm, "let's go home," she stood up with a cheerful smile, holding the box. Koichi simply nodded as he stood up as well.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
AS THEY WALKED…
"How'd you know that I loved chocolates?" she asked, smiling.
"Lucky guess..?" he answered unsurely, folding his arms behind his head, "I guess it's because my dad always gives my mom a box of chocolate on Valentine's and I figured that you might like them as well," he blushed a little.
She giggled, "Don't try to hide it," she smiled.
"Eh?" he looked at her.
She spun and walked backwards as she talked to him, "a while ago, you said that your mom told you to give these chocolates to me," she folded her hands behind her.
"So?" his eyebrow up.
"So," she chuckled, "you lied to me! Your mom didn't tell you to give me this. You bought it yourself, ne?" she grinned, "and that's why you were late a while ago because the Chocolate Shop in our street opens at 8 a.m. and school starts at that time," she looked at the sky, "did I get everything right?" she asked, looking at him.
He looked at her in awe and closed his eyes as he chuckled, "as expected from the daughter of Kudo Shinichi, Sherlock Holmes of the Century," he smirked, looking at her. She nodded, "that's because you said, 'I figured you'd like them,' and that's why I thought it was queer that earlier you told me that your mom told you to give this," she grinned.
"Deduction-freak," he mumbled.
"What did you say?" she asked with half-moon eyes.
He sneered, "DE-DUC-TION-FREAK!" he said again, running away.
"Hey!" she giggled, running after him, "get back here, Koichi!"

"no," he thought, "I knew you liked those chocolates because…"
(FLASHBACK)
Yesterday…
"I wonder if anyone would give me chocolates tomorrow," she thought sadly, "an ugly girl like me doesn't deserve any chocolates, right, Koichi-kun?" she smiled at him.
He stared at her, "chocolates?" he asked, stupidly. She nodded, "tomorrow is Valentine's Day, dummy! I wish I'll receive one," she folded her hands. He looked at her with a smiled as he nodded silently.
