Chapter 4 First attack

Conan walked to school with Ran, Sonoko and Sera. After being question by Sonoko about the KID-napping the four of them walked to school. "Conan-kun, are you sure you're ready to go back to school. You can take another day off if you want..." Ran said in her motherly tone. Conan nodded and grinned.

"Yeah! I'll be okay Ran-neechan!" Conan chirped.

'Wow! This massive city is huge! Art those metal beasts dangerous?' Pandora inquired.

'They are cars, not beasts. Sometimes they are dangerous.' Conan answered.

'What about those massive flying metal dragons?' Pandora inquired again.

'No. Those are airplanes, they help people go from one country to another. Any more questions?' Conan thought.

'Do those cell phone devices you use work with magic?' Pandora wondered.

'No. They work with the power of a rechargeable battery.' Conan answered.

'I see... Do these batteries-'

'No. They do not use magic...' Conan sighed. Pandora knew nothing about the modern world. For an immortal life giving spirit, she is as innocent as a child. She thought everything used magic or was a monster. 'So how long have you been in that cave?' Conan asked.

'Ten years ago-' Pandora was interrupted by the yelling of children.

"Conan-kun!" Conan turned and saw the all the detective boy running to him but Ai. "Tell us what happened! Why did Kaitou Kid kidnap you?" Ayumi asked.

"The man that hurt the hakase and tried to hurt you was after me, if it weren't for Kaitou Kid I could have died." Conan explained. Genta stomped his foot down and shouted.

"Let's find him and make him pay!" He pumped his fist in the air. The three real children cheered while Ai sighed.

"Guys, we're going to be late for school." Conan added. The children jumped and dragged Conan away from Ran. "Bye Ran-neechan!" Ran waved goodbye, still worried about Conan. Sonoko puts a hand on her shoulder.

"Ran, you're worrying too much about the brat, he'll be fine." Sonoko reassured. The black belt shook her head.

"No... Something has changed. When Aoko-chan and Kaito-kun brought back Conan-kun, he cried in his sleep." This shocked Sera and Sonoko. The chibi tantei never showed any form of weakness.

"Conan-kun really cried?" Sera inquired. Sonoko snickered, but stopped when Ran gave her a disapproving look. "Maybe we can find out more about what happened to Conan-kun!" Sera suggested. Sonoko nodded.

"Yeah! We'll find that jerk that tried to kill the brat and make him pay! C'mon Ran, you always sit on the sidelines when it comes to solving cases." That was half true. Ran did help sometimes and she did solve a case on her own... But this time she decided to get to the bottom of this with the help of her friends.

As Conan and his friends made their way to school they heard someone call out to them. "Do you children wish to have your fortunes told, it's free." The children turn and see a cloaked figure sitting on a chair with a table and a crystal ball.

"Wow! A fortune teller!" Ayumi looked at her watch. "We have time for a reading!" She cheered and dragged Conan and Ai over to the fortune teller, much to their protest. "Can you read my fortune?" The teller places her hands above the ball. The sphere turns bright pink.

"You seek the affection of the one closest to you. But there are others who seek your love. When the time comes, you will find someone to love you." Ayumi blushed, but was secretly happy. Genta steps forword to the teller and the crystal ball turns green. "You are jealous. You seek the acceptance of one of your closest friends. But she loves another." Genta itched his cheek. Mitsuhiko stepped to the teller. The sphere turns yellow. "I sense conflict inside you. You must not allow your emotion to destroy your bonds you have with your friends." Mitsuhiko nods. The fortune teller looks at Ai but shakes her head.

"No thank you teller-san. But could you tell us if our resident shinigami is got to bring death today?" She asked while glancing over at Conan with a smirk.

'Why that evil eyed yawny girl...' Conan glared at Ai.

'Why did she call you a shinigami?' Pandora wondered.

'You'll find out soon enough...' He sighed and stepped up to the crystal ball. The sphere turns crimson. Everything around Conan seemed to slow down into a crawl.

'What the-' Conan was cut off by Pandora.

'I sense a great power from this fortune teller!' Pandora was shocked. So far in the modern world, no one used magic, but this person is the only one so far.

"I sense another soul inside you... This soul carries great power, a power that could change the world." The fortune teller looked at Conan with dark red eyes. "But beware, there will be those who wish to take your life giving blood for themselves. You and the spirit inside you must work together and wield the power that is deep inside your soul." Conan was snapped back into reality when Ai grabbed his shoulder.

"Edogawa-kun, we have to go." The kids make there way to teitan elementry school. "Good bye." she nodded at the cloaked figure. The fortune teller stood up and threw off the cloak.

"He and the spirit will have to deal with many evil ones. Both man and monster." Akako disappeared into the dark.

"What woes you Shinichi?" Pandora asked.

"Who was she?" Conan wondered.

"Conan-kun, we have to go!" Ayumi yelled. Conan shook his head and caught up with the others and made his way to school.

Later that day at the Mouri detective agency (3:30PM)

"Kaito Kuroba..." That was Kogoros only clue. In order to find out who tried to hurt the kid, he had to find this Kuroba kid. He looked at the laptop before him. Like Megure he to wasn't the greatest when it came to computers. He knew the basics but that's about it. He logged onto the internet and opened the search engine and typed in Kuroba in the box then he hits the search button. The first thing that came up was a magician named Toichi Kuroba. "Must be his dad." He clicked on the link that led him to the magicians bio. "According to this, Toichi was a one of the greatest magician of the 20th century. But died in a stage accident... Wait..." Kogoro dialed his wife's number. After the second ring Eri picks up the phone.

"Moishi moishi?"

"Eri. Does the name Toichi Kuroba sound famliar?" He asked.

"That was Yukiko-chans sensei. She was devastated that he died. Did you find out where Kaito-kun lives?" Eri asked.

"Hmm... According to this he lives in Ekoda. I'm going to pay him a visit." Kogoro hanged up and made his way outside. His first stop was Ekoda. After he left for Ekoda, a man that could pass as a homeless man walked out of the allyway. He was wrapped in a cloak but his eyes were a sickly green.

"That smell..." The man breathed and licked his lips. "I found it!" The person walked in the direction of Teitan elementary school. When the school day ended, the detective boys began to make their way out of the school.

"Let's go to the Hakases house and play some games!" Genta cheered. The two other children agreed and ran out of the schools main entrance.

"So what really happened Kudo-kun?" Ai asked.

"About the kidnapping?" Conan responded. Ai nods. "Do you know about the onyx conglomerate that we don't already know?" He asked. Ai nods.

"It's a big company that does very illegal acts to get more money. No one has tried to stop them due to there vast wealth and limitless resources Everyone knows this already. But what most people don't know is that they collect artifacts and jewels with 'mystical' power." Ai chuckled. "They're also looking for a magic rock that can grant immortality."

'I was not a rock you close minded fool." Pandora hissed.

'Don't worry about her, she leans towards science and fact.' Conan calmed her down.

'So is she like an alchemist?' Pandora asked.

'Well, kind of...' Conan tilted his head. The two not kids walk outside of the school and saw some of the teachers trying to stop a man from entering the school grounds. "What's going on?" Conan wondered as he walked up to the real kids. They turned and greeted them.

"A man is trying to get in the school!" Ayumi explained. There was a small gathering of children watching the teachers trying to make the man leave the school grounds. The kids were being forced to go back inside until the police came and took the man away. Then things took a turn for the worse when the man pushed the large gym teacher to the ground. The man then jumped on him and began to maul him with his sharp nails.

'We must aid that man before that vile beast hurts him more!' Pandora gasped. Conan charged forward and used his soccer ball belt to deploy a soccer ball. The tantei then turned a dial on his shoes and kicked with all his might. The ball slams into the attackers face, which knocked him off the gym teacher. The attacker got up and looked for the person who kicked that ball. When his eyes landed on Conan, the man grinned and slowly made his way to Conan.

"That smell... It's coming from you..." Conan tilted his head in confusion. "The smell of the immortal blood... I have FOUND IT!" The attacker charged to Conan at superhuman speed and grabbed Conan by his neck. Screamed pleas from his friends, the other school children and teachers could be heard loudly, but fell on deth ears.

"NO! A blood reaver!' Pandora cried out.

"W... Wha- GACK!" The blood reaver hands tightened around his neck. Conan got a chance to see the blood reavers face. It was pale and deformed, his teeth were jagged and his eyes were mad with a blood lust. The hands around his neck were scale like, with sharp two inch long nails.

"I smell it! I found it! Bleed and break so I can eat your flesh and gain the power you've been hiding!" The creature known as a blood reaver demanded. It drooled in anticipation of ripping and tearing Conan apart. The detective felt something deep inside shook fearfully.

'Don't worry Pandora, we'll be fine!' Conan soothed the spirit.

'If one can find us then others can as well! We need to run far away from this city!' Pandora yelled, painked at the thought of being attacked. Sirens squealed loudly in the distance, a sign that the police were coming and coming in fast. The monster looked back and saw the police cars stop outside the gate and enter the school grounds.

"FREEZE!" Megure yelled. "Release the child, now!" The monster glared and hissed at them. He dropped Conan and ran to the wall to the left of him. "STOP OR WE WILL SHOOT!" He climbed up the wall and jumped down. The officers, teachers and children were stunned, but Megure shook it off. "Takagi-kun, you and Sato-kun chase that man!" The two officers run off after the attacker. "Conan-kun! Are you alright?" The portly inspector and Shiratori run up to the boy.

"Hai!" Conan gets up from the ground. "I'm okay." He rubbed his neck.

"Just to be sure you should be examined by a professional." Megure turned to Shiratori. " Get Conan-kun to the hospital so he can be get checked up."

"Right, Let's go Conan-kun." Shiratori beckoned Conan to the cruiser.

"Can we come too?" Ayumi asked. Megure shook his head.

"Sorry children, we need to talk to you the attacker." The children sighed, disappointed that they can't go with their friend.

Ekoda- Near the Kuroba household (4:12PM)

Kogoro parks his car by the Kuroba household, he steps out of the car and looks at the house. It was a white two story house, more maintained then the Kudos home. "Toichi Kuroba must have been a rich man." He walked through the open gate, but he feel a tug and heard a snapping sound of a wire. "What the-" Just then, a volley of paintballs flew towards the 'ace' detective. The paintballs hit him, covering him in splatter spots of paint. He recovered and took a step forward, he watched as his foot sank in a small pressure pad. "Wh-" Before he could react, the sprinklers turned on and soaked him from head to toe.

"GRR! What's next!" Kogoro marched up to the door and rang the doorbell. He saw shadows over him and he looked up only to find cream pies falling on him. The detective was beyond mad. Who in their right mind would booby trap their own house. "What kind of baka rigs there house with traps!" He yelled.

"That baka would be yours truly." Kogoro turns and sees a teen that looks exactly like Shinichi.

"There you are Kudo-bouzu. So you're living a double life now..." Kogoro made his way to the boy.

"I'm not Kudo Shinichi oji-" Kogoro cuts him off.

"Bullshit! You just change your hair and got color contacts!" He accused angrily. "I'm going to make you pay for making my daughter cry!" He lunges at Kaito, only to trigger another trap. "What now!?"

"Did you ever see the movie birds?" Kaito asked, Kogoro shook his head. "Well after this, you might be scared of birds for a while." Kaito sat on the ground and started to rub the left side of his face like he had been punched. "Why did you attack me..." He groaned in fake pain.

"What are you talking about-" Kogoro then heard a small chirp. He turns towards the Kuroba house and stared in horror. A small army of doves sat on the roof and stared the at the detective, they just stared at him.

"Sic'em my pretties!" With that command, the dove charge to defend the honor of their master and friend. They pecked and scratched the poor detective into submission.

"AHHHHHHHH! GET THEM OFF! GET THEM OFF ME!" He screamed in pain. Kaito laughed at the pain of the detective.

"Okay girls and boys, stop attacking him!" He ordered. The doves stop and fly onto the tree that was rigged with paintball guns. "So why are you here?" He asked. The detective stood and glared at Kaito.

"I guess you're not the brat. I'm here to talk to you about the people at the friendly ghost scare." Kogoro said. Kaito nodded.

"I'll tell you, but first..." He pulled out a small remote clicker and pressed the blue button. "That disabled the indoor and outdoor traps. Let's talk inside." Kaito and Kogoro go inside the house.

A/N I'm back! I've graduating from my grounds maintenance class, losing my internet connection and playing a small list of video games. I am BACK BABY!
