Yea, so I had writers block. I honestly couldn't come up with anything for a while. But then the idea hit me.
Thanks to Marwa Muj Afifu for the PM.
Basic summary of what happened so far: Heiji woke up from his coma but has amnesia. He remembers a person named Kudo. Together he and Kazuha go to Tokyo and Kazuha tells them about how they met.
Edogawa Conan wasn't just your average normal elementary school student, Heiji knew that. What was that mysterious truth around him?
"There is only one truth!" a voice echoed in his head
Who was that? Conan? Kudo? More importantly who am I? It seems that Hattori Heiji is just a name to me. Who am I really?
"Hattori-kun, Hattori-kun." Ran shook him awake.
"Hmm?" he mumbled still half-asleep
"It's morning Hattori-kun. I recommend you take a shower and change for today. We're going shopping later."
Heiji did as he was told still a bit groggy.
Walking up the stairs he passed a certain someone. "Moring Heiji-niichan!" piped up Conan
There was a strange air around him. ~~'Did silence work better than your funnily disguised Japanese? Your Japanese grammar is perfect yet you have quite awkward intonation. It's obvious that you're pretending not to be able to speak Japanese to throw people off their guards.'
'You were right about that teacher Kudo. She was suspicious, she took our photos secretly while pretending to have a bath.'
There was that name again: Kudo. Who was he?
He snapped back into reality "Ah, Moring Conan-kun. How are ya doing?"
"Just a little sore for sleeping in the living room." He chuckled
"Me too, well I'm going to take a shower now. See you later."
They continued their ways not saying a word but both with a lot on their mind.
'Hattori…' Conan thought 'What's happening to you?'
A familiar voice interrupted his thoughts "Conan-kun."
"Yes Ran-neechan?" he replied
"Please help set up the table."
"Hai~" he cheered. It was certainly annoying keeping the childish charm. When Hattori was over I could finally let the mask down but not anymore I guess. Conan or much less Shinichi set the table with a sigh. Sometimes he needed that escape from reality.
Ran, Kogoro, and Conan sat down and ate their breakfast in silence.
"So where's the Osaka boy and girl?" Kogoro mumbled, mouth full of rice
"Hattori-kun is taking a shower and Kazuha-chan is sleeping still. I think she may wake up soon though."
Kazuha woke up slowly, she wondered where she was. Taking in her surroundings she realized she was in Ran's room. "hmmm? Ran-chan's room."
She pushed off the blanket and stretched, staring up at the ceiling as she thought…
'Wonder how long I was out. If I recall it was around 1 or 2 when I finished my story.' She found Ran's alarm clock next to a picture of her and Shinichi at Tropical Land, smiling. 'Aww, look at them two. They would make such a good couple! I shouldn't be butting in though. I remember that time I tried.'
~~"That's lukewarm Ran-chan. You've already pushed your opponent to the edge of the ring and he's waving the white flag ya know? Why don't you give that one final push and claim the victory?"
Ran-chan blinked in shock. "V-Victory?"
"Then, let's do this! I'll also gather up my courage and confess to Heiji!"
"EHHHHH?"
"Then Ran-chan, you'll gather up your courage and figure out with Kudo-kun whether it was a dream or not! What do you say?"
"O-Okay…"
"Heiji prepare yourself!"
She stood up and stretched once more yawning. 'Yup, that didn't end up too well."
"Don't cha get it? She tactfully left the two of us alone"
"Wha-?"
"Y-You might have already heard this from Kudo-kun but… it seems that Kudo-kun confessed to Ran-chan in London."
"Ehh!" Heiji said blushing, but not as furiously as I was
My face was bright pink and I'm sweating from all this awkwardness as I say "S-so that's why… I probably don't have to say this but... the truth is…. The truth is, I also… since a long time ago… I REALLY LIKE YOU!"
I sigh. It's not good to remember failed attempts like that.
She opened the door and eyes went wide in cognition. "HEIJI!"
There he was, the teenage dark skinned detective. Only problem was that he was shirtless with a towel covering his…parts…
"Toyama!"
They both grew bright pink.
She shielded her eyes by covering them with her left hand. "W-What are you doing!"
He stuttered "… I was told to take a shower. But you see I forgot my clothing in the other room so I thought I could grab them."
Kazuha raised her free hand. "Stop. I'll grab them. Please go back into the bathroom."
They went their separate ways, both red with embarrassment.
'That Heiji… why do I have to keep watching him?'
He cracked open the door a peak. "T-Toyama?"
She remained on the side of the wall. "Here." The green sweater and blue jeans were handed over.
"Arigato."
5 minutes later Heiji exited fully dressed.
Both still had their embarrassed face on. –you know, the dot eyes-
Heiji recovered first. "Hey…Toyama..-
"I didn't see anything!" Kazuha blurted out
"Ok… well that's good. But I didn't want to ask that."
"Oh.." Kazuha slumped back into embarrassment
"What I really wanted to ask was, what are all these scars?"
She pointed to his stomach "This one was from Sakata-keiji"
"Ha! That was the last bullet!" I chuckled as the shot hit the gasoline tank "Your leg's wounded?"
"Don't worry about me Hattori-kun, get away quick!"
"S…Shit I can't believe that I got wounded in the tummy"
He snapped his fingers. "That case! I thought it was that time…"
My, my look at you. your handsome face is all ruined…" the attorney woman sneered
"Stupid brat… he thought he could scream for help." Chucked her accomplice
Kazuha was worried, trembling. "H-Heiji! You okay?! Hang in there!"
"Who'd thought you are on friendly terms with that famous detective Mouri Kogoro… I was quite surprised. Eh high school detective Hattori Heiji? Aren't you popular yourself?"
That fat woman sat on my friend. "Now listen carefully, I invited you into my house because I'm thinking highly of your abilities. You will break the code this dirty rat-like detective created. Don't you find him a joke? He came to lecture me of all people. Yeah, right! This cooperative man told us that the tape is in Teito bank's rental locker and the 7 digit pin has been encrypted… what a shame he stopped breathing too early. It was then I got your call…"
"I-I'm sorry… my ears are ringing so I couldn't hear too well… why don't you tell me once again..? Who exactly are you calling a dirty rat…?
Another counterpart punched my gut. "You brat!"
"STOP!" Kazuha shrieked
Kazuha looked up. "Oh that time. Y-you almost…"
"I almost?"
Heiji panicked a bit as he was asked his final words. "Wait!" he answered. "I must leave my last word to the girl behind me…"
"Eh? Me?" I thought
"What's there to say? You know your girlfriend won't live much longer either. Oh well, you are a teenage after all, sorry for being inconsiderate." She placed the gun next to Kasukawa. "How's this? Go on… tell her…"
"Give me a second! I'm looking for the best expression! I want it to be special so that she'll treasure it up in heaven."
Heiji was on the edge of his seat. "So… What happened?"
Kazuha gave an annoyed stare "It was all a ploy to get us out of there."
"Really?" He was questioning himself "I swear I said something after though."
"Oh yea… you did."
"What was it that you almost said every time I trembled?"
"I don't think you want to hear it…"
"You said you'd tell me until I got tired of it!"
"I wanted to say that… when you trembled. Your... I mean... Uh… ponytail... em… kept touching my neck so I found it impossibly tickling, that's all…"
"Oh…" Heiji chuckled nervously 'What was I thinking back then?'
"Wahh!" Kazuha looked at the clock "it's already this late! I still need to get ready!"
However Heiji stayed in the room, not knowing what to do "GET OUT!" Kazuha yelled pushing him out of the door. *SLAP*
"Kazuha take off your clothes!" I yelled as I ran into the room
"Ehh?"
"I need to see…"
*SLAP*~~
He held his cheek, feeling that sting that he had felt many times before. 'Kazuha…?'
Conan, Ran, and Kogoro sat at their table eating breakfast , chatting about current events as Heiji snuck in inconspicuously.
"Ohayo minna-san." He said sheepishly
"Ohayo Heiji-niichan" Conan piped up
"Hey" Kogoro mumbled as he continued eating
"Ohayo Hattori-kun." Said Ran "Where's Kazuha-chan?"
Heiji immediately placed his hand on his face. "S-she's changing." He said bluntly.
"Oh… Well please sit down Hattori-kun so we can eat breakfast." Ran said wondering about stuff…
'Oi oi Hattori. What did you do?' Conan chuckled
Breakfast went by fast and unusally quiet.
"Ahh peace" Kogoro sighed. Heiji gave him a weird look. "Usually when you're here Osaka boy, it's loud."
Heiji continued to be confused. "Don't take it like that Hattori-kun." Ran tried to explain. "It's just that last time you were here you kept rambling on…"
"Wow this is really good. How did you make this? In Osaka my mom like to add just a dash for extra flavor. Wow this rice is really good too. How much water did you use? And this miso soup. Really good. Did you know my mom likes to use the extra meat for extra flavor? Tokyo food is really good!"
"Very annoying." Kogoro said before taking a long slurp from his bowl of soup
Kazuha arrived a little later and breakfast went un-interupted. It was still usually quiet because Kazuha and Heiji weren't arguing.
"Its so quiet. Isn't it strange Conan-kun?" asked Ran
Conan nodded. "It's certainly strange when Kazuha-neechan and Heiji-niichan are quiet."
"What do you mean like that Ran-chan?" She raised an eyebrow
"Well. Whenever I see you two together, you guys are always bickering and loud. Even when I first met you guys!"
"So you're Kudo." She said slyly sitting down in one of our seats
"Huh?" Me and Conan-kun say in unison
"Heiji won't stop talking about you… All the time."
For some strange reason. He starts panicking. Conan-kun that is. "EH! OH!? EHHH!….Wait!…"
"Don't pretend." The strange girl speaks again "You don't understand. I know everythin'… Your name's Kudo! After meeting you, Heiji was overwhelmed!"
"Huh? I think you're mistaken." I chuckled
The girl still remains angry. "Since you're here, let me tell you this! Heiji and I have a bond of a steel! So before you hurt Heiji again, You'll have to kill me!"
"Kazuha?" Hattori-kun came back.
Soon breakfast was over. Kogoro went over to the couch to fan-girl over Yoko-chan despite the calls from his daughter. "Geez!"
Ran sighed and let her father do what he wanted. She picked up the dishes and walked over kitchen.
"Can I help?" asked Kazuha
"Sorry for all the trouble Kazuha-chan. Arigato."
The two talked a bit as they washed dishes.
"Kazuha-chan how are you feeling about Hattori-kun?" Ran asked politely as she applied soap to the sponge
"Hmm? Heiji?" Ran nodded. "Well I guess I'm kinda sad about not being with that aho." She stopped scrubbing and looked down. "It like he's here but really isn't." Kazuha smiled and wiped her tears. "I'm such an idiot. Heiji is Heiji no matter what. I said it myself."
"Don't you think they should help?" Ran said jokingly smiling at how tough Kazuha was.
No good. Detective suits me better.
Heiji's sweat dropped as he was forced to wash the dishes. 'Why am I forced to do this to?' Conan thought as he wiped the dish dry
"You kids behave right. We're going to my client's home." Kogoro said
"Hai!" the 3 teens and the kid-turned kid said.
