Chapter 7 Scarlet meeting
It was late at night as Kaito laid on the top of his bed. He had found what he was looking for, and now he doesn't know what to do about Pandora. He vowed to destroy it to stop Snake, but now it's in the body of his greatest rival. The question Kaito has been asking himself was what should he do? He wanted to get Pandora out of him, but he wasn't sure there was a way to remove her from Conan without ramifications. 'What do I do...?' Kaito asked himself. The magician heard a knocking on his room door.
"Kai-chan, what's wrong?" It was his mother, Chikage Kuroba, who came back to from the USA yesterday. "Aoko-chan said that you've been feeling down, what's wrong?" She asked. Kaito decided to break the news.
"I found Pandora. The jewel Oyji got killed over." This shocked Chikage.
"You didn't destroy it, did you?" She asked fearfully.
"No, I can't. It's living inside someone, and if I destroy it, I might kill the vessel." Chikage's started to feel weak in her legs.
"Oh god... A vessel has been chosen..." She quickly sat down.
"Kaa-san, do you know something?" Kaito asked. She looked at her child what a sad look.
"I remember it like it was yesterday..."
Flashback Seventeen years ago- 8:30PM
It was late night at the Kuroba house and Kaito was asleep in his mothers arms. Suddenly, the house phone rings, waking up Kaito. The small baby got grumpy and began to cry. "Shhhh... It's alright Kai-chan." She grabs the phone and answers the phone. "Moshi Moshi?"
"Chikage, I found it..."This shocked the retired thief.
"You mean... It's over?" She asked hopefully.
"I'm sorry, your going to have to come to the Kudo house on 4th street in Beika." Chikage nodded and hung up. She got in her car and buckled Kaito and herself up and drove to Beika. After an hour of driving, she arrived at the Kudo mansion, parked the car and took Kaito with her. She rings the doorbell and waits. The door opens and reveals Yukiko.
"Chi-chan! You brought your little boy, awww! He's so cute when he's asleep!" Yukiko gushed. "Come in, your husband is here." The two make there way to the library. Chikage was shocked to see her husband, holding a sapphire with a small gem inside.
"Pandora... Didn't you want to-"
"I can't Chikage, I just don't have what it takes... Pandora is a living being, I can't kill her." He showed her the jewel. Inside was a smaller jewel inside the jewel. As he was showing his wife the source of all there troubles, he flinched and dropped the gem.
"Toichi! Your hurt, I'll tend your wounds..." She gives Kaito to Yukiko and makes her way to the desk and searched for a first aid kit. As the adults talked and tend the wounded phantom, A small baby made a daring escape from his crib in his room and into the library. He spotted the jewel and smiled gleefully. He stood up and wobbled to the gem, the toddler picks up the gem and looks at it with great awe. The little baby heard a soothing hum from the gem. The baby sat down and started to become tired.
"Shin-chan?" Yukiko and the adults watched as the baby boy hugged the gem closely to his chest and fall asleep. "Aww! That's so cute!" Toichi frowned.
"Pandora has linked herself to Shinichi-kun..." He whispered to his wife.
"Is that bad...?" She quietly asked.
"Someday, these two will meet again, and become one being, with one soul, mind and body. A being that will rival god." He whispered to her. "As long as Shinichi and the stone meet."
"A being that will rival god!?" Chikage whispered harshly. "You can't let Shinichi-kun suffer such a fate!"
"I can only try... But we cannot stay the hand of fate..." He whispered sadly. Toichi looked upon his sleeping son. "One day, They will meet. Until that day comes, I will continue to steal. If I stop, then it will raise suspicion..."
"I wish we could just leave this all behind..." Chikage said sadly.
"Let's go home Chikage." Toichi left room to change. After changing out of the Kaitou Kid outfit and Chikage takes back Kaito, the magician made his way to Yukiko, who was now holding Shinichi. The boy was still holding the gem tightly. Toichi managed to take the gem, without waking up Shinichi. "I'm going to seal this gem way with the help of a old friend." He said to Yuusaku.
"Good luck... Old friend." With that the Kuroba's left. When Shinichi opened his eyes, he looked around and at his small hands. His new friend was gone. He was so sad that he started to cry.
"What's wrong Shin-chan!?" The two parents tried everything to calm the little boy, for the rest of the night Shinichi cried until he fell asleep.
Present day
"Pandora and Shinichi were meant for each other. Your tou-san tried to prevent Shinichi becoming the vessel... But in the end, she called out to him and he couldn't resist." Chikage said sadly. "If the people that killed Toichi find out that Shinichi-kun is the vessel then-"
"I know what will happen kaa-san, and I won't let that happen." Kaito said in a calm tone. He will do whatever it takes to stop them. Chikage left the magician to himself. Kaito decided to got to bed after she left him. The next day was a standard day for the teenaged magician. Tease Aoko, check. Make fun of Saguru, check. Peak into the girls locker room, check. As the day ended, he was walking home by himself when he heard something that shocked him.
"Pandora has chosen a vessel..." He heard a man say to a woman, who was happy.
Really!? This is the best good news I heard all week!" The woman looked like she was in college. She wore sneakers, blue jeans, and a black sweater, her hair was black and in a ponytail. The man was in his thirties, wore a grey business suit with black dress shoes. "When do we meet?" The young woman asked.
"Tonight, at the old house on Ekoda 5th street. We meet at 12:00AM." The woman nods and the two take off. Kaito began to panic. Someone found out that Conan is the vessel of Pandora.
"The old house on 5th street at midnight." Kaito nodded to himself. "I wonder who are these guys?" Kaito made his way to 5th street and scoped the area out. It was a simple two story house. The paint was chipped, a window was broken, and the grass was tall. After looking around the house, he made his way home and waited for the right time. Hours later, in the dead of night. Kaito got dressed in his street clothes and made his way to 5th street. By the time he got to the house, it was twelve in the morning. He picked the lock on the door and entered the house. As soon as he did, he heard voices in the basement.
"Brothers and sisters of the order! I bring you great news. A vessel has been chosen!" Kaito heard some gasps and cheers. "For those who are new to the order, I shall tell you." Kaito quietly made his way down stairs. Luckily there was a thin wooded wall blocking the way so no one, even him could see.
"Long ago... Ten thousand years ago, a gem was found by a nomad. This nomad took the gem and held it under the moon and it turned blood red. Then red water dripped out of the stone. He caught the water in his flask forged from clay and went on his way with stone in hand! One day he was wounded. He took the water and cleaned the wound... THEN SUDDENLY! The wound healed! The Jewel has the power, the power that could make anyone immortal!"
'No doubt there after immortality." Kaito thought, then the leader said something that shocked him.
"We must make sure that the vessel and our lady must not fall into the hands of evil!" Everyone agreed, even Kaito. "We must guard him and guide him, in hope for the vessel to ascend into godhood!" The cult leader yelled. "All hail the our new lord!"
'Okay... That's not good...' Kaito thought. He listen into the sermon a bit longer.
"According to the prophecy. Pandora shall chose the child of truth! Who's heart is one of law and justice. We must find this child!" The cult leader yelled loudly. All of the robed figure cheered. Kaito decided to leave before he is caught. Kaito made his way home and looked at the time and saw it was one o'clock.
"Looks like I'm going to be sleeping in tomorrow..." Kaito sighed and made his way home.
Beika Street (2:00AM)
Deep inside his mind, Shinichi was asleep. He dreamed about being with Ran at last, which wouldn't be long. According to Pandora, his body is becoming stronger. At the end of November, he would return as Shinichi Kudo. He needed a plan to deal with the black organization and soon. "But how am I got to stop the organization..." He said to himself. Out of nowhere, Pandora appeared in a flash of red light.
"You should be sleeping Shinichi..." Pandora said softly.
"I can't... How can I fight the organization?" He asked.
"When I was looking through your memories, I saw that Mouri's assistant is apart of the organization. Capture him and you can demand the information from him." Pandora explained.
"Easier said then done. He'll have everyone around me killed." He sighed. "Maybe I could talk to Jodie and form a plan..." Shinichi yawned.
"Get some sleep Shinichi-kun." She sat down on the edge of the bed and grasped his hand. "If you don't mind..." Shinichi nodded and gave her the go ahead. She transformed into her small jewel form. Shinichi grabbed the jewel and fell asleep. Shinichi woke up hours later and found himself in the real world as Conan. He got up, got dressed and ready for the school day. Hopefully there will be no reaver attacks today, that would be the last thing he needed today. As he, Ran and Sonoko walked to school, Conan felt like he was being watched by someone or something.
"Conan-kun, are you okay?" Ran asked. The boy nods and calms down.
"Conan-kun!" Ayumi cheered loudly as the rest of the detective boy ran up to the meitantei.
"I got to go, bye Ran-neechan!" Conan waved and made his way to school with his friends.
Hours later (3:30PM)
Class was as normal as it gets for Conan, he was glad for the normal day. He and his friends began to make there way to Agasa's house. They entered the house and the three real children started to play some video games. Conan and Ai watched the game play. "Ugh... This is boring..."
"It's only boring because you suck at video games." Ai commented.
"I have better things to do then play video games." Shinichi huffed. "I could be figuring out why people want me dead."
"You got attacked again?" Ai arched one of her eye brows. Conan nods.
"Yeah, it's really get annoying..."
'It's my fault...' Pandora whimpered.
'No it's not...' Conan told Pandora. "I don't know what they want, but I'll stop them."
"I think, you know what they want and why they're after you..." Ai looked at him coldly.
"I do know why... I have something, and they want it. But I can't give it to them." Conan's cell rings and he answers it.
"Moshi moshi?"
"Conan-kun, it's almost time for dinner." It was Ran.
"Okay, I'll see you at home." Conan hangs up. "I got to go, dinner's getting ready. See ya." He grabs his shoes and says his good bye. Ai was worried what kind of danger he's gotten into this time.
'What sort of trouble is it this time...' Ai thought to herself. "Hakase, I'm going to see Edogawa-kun home..." The girl grabs her shoes and leaves.
"Okay Ai-chan, okay children, time to go home!" The children groan. After walking a few blocks, Conan feels someone watching him. which was creeping him out.
'Someone is watching us...' Pandora pointed out. Conan looks around but saw nothing. As he was crossing the street, he heard the squeal of car tires. 'LOOK OUT!' Conan saw a black Sedan coming towards him. He jumps out of the way but his legs were hit by the speeding car.
"GAHHH!" Conan looks at his legs. they were completely broken. The driver of the Sedan stopped and got out of the car. It was a man dress in a brown trench coat. "W-who..." The man quickly grabbed Conan by the throat and threw him into the car and rode off in his car. In the distance, Ai watched in horror as Conan was hit and taken by a driver in a black Sedan. She pulls out her cell phone and dialed 110. The phone connected to the operator.
"110, what's your emergency?"
"I saw a friend of mine hit by a car and kidnapped. It was on fifth street, beika street. The car was a black sedan." Ai explained in a calm voice.
"Alright... The police have been dispatched to your area. Please wait." After a few minutes. The police arrive to the scene and ask Ai about what happened. She told them about how she was trying to catch up with him and then he got hit by the car. As Ai talked to the police, someone listened from the shadows. The man had light red hair, wore a pair of tan slacks with a turtleneck and black shoes. The man fixed his glasses and pulled out a spare pair of Conan's glasses.
"Better get moving..." Subaru Okiya made his way to his Subaru 360 that was parked in front of a bookstore. He drove off, tracking down the car.
Elsewhere (8:30PM)
'Conan, wake up!' Pandora shouted. Conan slowly opened his eyes and saw that his legs were healed. He looked and saw that the man that kidnapped him was busy driving. He used this chance to use his stun gun wrist watch to knock out the driver. The car swerves and crashes into a lamp post. Conan crawled out through the broken window, cutting himself from the glass. He falls to the ground and stands up. He hears the man groan.
'I've got to get out of here!' Conan tried to run, but his legs were sore and screaming in pain. 'I thought I was healed!' He yelled in his had.
'Your body may be healed, but your nerves think they're still broken so they're sending pain signals to the brain.' Pandora explained. The detective tried to run as fast as he could, but his legs screamed at him to stop. Conan made his way into a alleyway before he tripped and fell on the ground. He tried to get up, but he was picked up by the kidnapper, who wasn't looking to great from the car crash.
"You BRAT!" He started to strangle Conan. "Once I get you back to our groups base, I'm going to see how much punishment you can take before you break!" Conan started to gagged and began to blackout.
"Leave the child alone..." The kidnapper looked and saw a figure, cloaked in black with the hood up. The man grinned.
"I don't think so!" The kidnapper stopped and reached for his gun. The cloaked figure opens up the cloak and a flock of crows flies out of the cloak. They flew towards the kidnapper and started to attack the man.
"GAHHHHH! GET THEM OFF ME!" The kidnapper ran as he was attacked by crows. As the man ran off, the cloaked figure made her way to Conan. She bent down and touched his cheek. Conan felt a surge of emotion from his heart. He didn't know why, but he wanted to be with this person. But the emotion disappeared as soon as it came.
'What was that?' Conan asked.
'This person... She has the same power as that fortune teller!' Pandora realized.
"Th-thank you for helping me but I have to-" Conan was cut off by the person.
"Sleep child. Rest your eyes and sleep. Enjoy your respite..." The words soothed Conan. It felt like all the pain he felt today just disappeared. His eyes felt heavy and Conan drifted away in a deep slumber. The cloaked figure goes to bend down and pick the boy up.
"Hold it!" The hooded figure looks and sees a group of police officers led by a portly man that was none other then inspector Megure. "Leave the boy-" Just then, the same murder of crows flies back and surrounds the person and Conan. The two disappear in a cloud of feathers. The officers are shocked at what they saw. Megure rubs his eyes and looks again to see that there's still nothing there. "I'm getting to old for this..." The man sighed. The CSI team begins to collect the feathers of the crows and analyze the kidnappers body. The kidnapper was being attacked by crows. As he flailed around, a truck hit the man and killed him.
"I-I-I'm not going to j-jail r-right? It wa-was an accident and I c-couldn't s-stop in time." The driver panicked.
Don't worry, you didn't do it intentionally so your not going to jail. We just want to talk to you okay." Satou said to the driver. As Satou talked to the driver, Megure and Takagi looked at the body.
"So... What do we do sir?" Takagi asked. "We can't say that this was a murder of crows." Megure gave him a look. "No pun intended."
"We'll have to list this an accident. Now, we have to find Conan-kun, wherever that boy went off to..." Megure sighed.
"So... What do we tell the Mouri's?" Takagi asked. Megure groaned at that thought, Hell hath no fury like Ran Mouri when it comes to Conan's safety.
Elsewhere (8:00PM)
"Who are you and why are we here!?" Pandora yelled. Somehow the witch heard.
"If you must know, I am Akako Koizomi." She placed Conan on the guest bedrooms bed and tucked him into the bed. "That man was hired by a evil person to capture you and your vessel."
"I see... Are you going to help us?" Pandora asked.
"You wish to return to the stars, correct?" Pandora confirmed.
"Yes, I wish to leave earth. This world is and it's people are not ready for me and I wish to see my brother again." Pandora pleaded.
"... But what about your vessel, what will become of him?" She asked.
"He will return to normal... I think..." Pandora said.
"You think?" Akako pressed.
"I don't know alright! I'm not sure what will happen to Conan-kun. He could return to normal, or not. This is the first time this happened." Pandora sighed sadly. She was so focused on seeing her brother again that she forgot Conan. "I also have a bigger problem... My soul and Conan's soul have begun to merge. If they become one, then we shall become a-"
"A god..." Akako finished. "I wonder what kind of god will you two become. One of order, one of choas, or one who favors no side."
"I do not want this want this for Conan, you must use your magic you unbind us and send me to my brother." Pandora requested hopefully.
"I will try, but don't get your hopes up. What you request is nearly impossible." Akako explained.
"Please... Don't do this for me, do this for Conan. I don't want him to live forever alone."
"You're lying..." This caused Pandora to flinch.
"You're right, if he settles down with the one he loves then she will become immortal as well as her children." There was a knock at the door. The door opens revealing Igor.
"Milady, Kuroba-kun is here to see you. Shall I let him in?"
"Yes, let him in." Igor left and Kaito came into the room."
"Is he alright?" Kaito asked.
"Yes, I put him to sleep. When he wakes, we make are move against the lich." Akako said as she pulled out the same amulet she had when she talked to Kaito the last time. "The time has come for the battle with the lich. I must get myself and Conan-kun ready."
"So what's the game plan?" Kaito asked. Akako looks at Kaito.
"We cut the lich's power with Pandora's power. All that Pandora has to do is unlock her dormant power."
"How will to do that?" Kaito asked.
"It will happen when it happens." Akako said crypticly. Conan woke up and looked around.
"Where am I?" He asked. He saw Kaito and smiled. "Kaito-niichan, where are we?" Conan asked. Akako was the one who answered.
"My home. My name is Akako Koizomi. It's nice to meet you and Pandora." This caught Conan off guard.
"So you know..." Conan looked down. Akako clasped Conan's cheek. He looked into her eyes and saw something inside the exotic scarlet eyes.
"I do know, but there is nothing to worried about 'child'. Here at my house, I have wards surrounding the premises. We are completely safe, I also have alot of dangerous creatures in the forest. These creatures are have made this place their home, any trespassers will be eaten, OHOHOHOHOHO~" This made the two boys sweat drop.
"Should we start working on a plan?" Conan tilted his head. Akako nodded.
"Of course. Gentlemen, let's begin."
A/N- Sorry about the delay, I've been playing dragon's dogma dark arisen. I beat the game and now I'm fighting much stronger enemies. Also, if you want a good laugh, look up the trailer to farcry 3 blood dragon, it's pure awesomeness. I've also been working on something else.
