Conan's Misfortunes

Part 1

Akemi Miyano's Death

The case he'd been trying to forget for so long, the billion yen heist, came back into his mind. He could see the pool of blood that came from Akemi Miyano's wound, the same blood that was stained onto his hands as he tried to help her. She was one of the few who knew who he really was, but he couldn't help but feel that the only reason why he told her of all people was because she was dying, and he knew there was nothing he could do.

Then Anita came in… and Conan learned that Akemi was her older sister. He gained a valuable ally in Anita, which should help the situation, since she was part of the organization.

Conan sighed. He vowed to avenge everyone who lost their life to that damned organization.

"Conan, are you okay?" Rachel asked, feeling concerned. Conan blinked. Everyone was looking at him.

Conan didn't respond right away. His blue eyes seemed to betray his emotions, as they were filled with despair. He looked away in embarrassment. "I'm fine." He said. Great… knowing Harley, he'll press me to know what's going on. He threw a glance at Harley, which told him "Unless you want to feel the wrath of my shoes, I suggest you stop while you're ahead and BACK OFF." Harley took the hint. He sweat-dropped and tried to steer the group in a different direction. Conan went back to his thoughts.

Why did he feel so upset when Akemi died? Was it because she wanted to be free from the organization? Or maybe it was her reason for doing what she did. Either way, it didn't change the fact that the black organization must go down.

He had been so caught up in his thoughts he didn't realize that the others were gone until it was too late. Only Harley was there. Oh, joy. He thought. I hoped he wouldn't get into it at all. He sweat-dropped. He did not like that look on Harley's face. He had to brace himself for whatever he had coming.

Part 2

Harley Butts In

"Look! A distraction!" Conan shouted, pointing behind Harley.

"Ha ha ha, Kudo." Harley put his hands on his hips. "All right, Kudo. Out with it! What's going on?!"

"Nothing that concerns you, that's for sure." Conan replied bluntly, catching Harley by surprise.

"What's with you today? You've hardly spoken a word since you got here!" The Osakan detective was losing his paitience.

"Give me a break, Harley!" Conan yelled in frustration. "I had a bad day yesterday, that's all!"

"You're never like this though!" Harley challenged.

"Well now I am!" Conan began to walk away.

"Hold it right there!" Harley ran over and grabbed Conan by the back of his shirt. "You're not going anywhere until you answer me!"

Conan was in trouble. What was he going to do? Oh, I know! I'll just use my tranq-watch and make a break for it. He got it ready, and what happened after that, he didn't know.

***

Maybe I overdid it a bit there... Harley thought. He had convinced Rachel that Conan would be fine staying with him. It was the only way he could get out of this. Okay, so I'll just apologize when he wakes up and we can have a good time for the rest of the day. Rachel and Mr. Moore are still here, of course, but Kazuha is taking care of them for me. He assumed Richard wouldn't care as long as there were lots of women around wherever they were going.

Harley heard a yawn coming from Conan, and found him waking up.

"So you're finally awake, huh?"

Conan looked at him sleepily. "Hunh?"

Harley laughed.

Conan glared. "You do know that I hate you, right?"

"Yeah."

The boy folded his arms. "Ask away."

"What?" Harley looked confused. Is he giving up?

"Ask away. Ask whatever it was you wanted to ask."

"Oh. About that... you can just forget about it."

"What?" Conan's jaw dropped.

"Look, I'm sorry I pressed you. I was just...concerned..." The Kansai detective looked down at his feet.

Conan didn't know what to say.

"Come on, let's go finish that tour."

Author's note: Yes, I know I overdid Harley's demands a bit there, but… I couldn't help it.

Wow, this got reaaaaally cheesey near the end. Sorta like those friendship speeches they always make in Yu-Gi-Oh!.

Thanks Kolidescope for your review!! I'm trying to improve so that it fits every reader's expectations!

Yay I've got my first fan!! :D Mangaluver is my first fan!! *parties like it's her birthday*

Hold it…Iyoushi might be another fan too! I've gotta show him/her some respect too!

In the next chapter of Conan's Misfortunes:

You could say, calm before the storm? Conan spends an entire day with Rachel, just the two of them. Of course, it was Rachel who dragged Conan into it.

Wow, I did a total Mois by saying "You could say". XDD This next chapter is anti-angst. But it won't stay that way for long...
