Ran woke up from her bed in Haibara's room. When she looked around, she found that Haibara was still sleeping in her bed. Her body still hurt from all that beating she revived from Black Organization. She could feel pain from bruises from her back and her legs. As she walked down the stairs, she found Conan, no Shinnich making a breakfast.

"Oh hey Ran," Said Shinnich, "you are finally awake?" As Ran looked at him, she noted something different about him. After few seconds she realized what it was. He was not wearing his normal black dorky glasses.

"err Ran?" said Shinnich " is there something on my face?" asked Shinnich. " Ah Gomen, Shinnich, it's just that you are not wearing your usual glassless." "Ah, that." Said Shinnich "I might as well as not wear it here since all the people in here knows who I really am, as such there is no need for me to hide behind this glasses…" as he had said this Ran could not help but notice that as he said this his eyes were filled with joy and happiness for brief moment. Is it because, he would no longer have to lie to her? She could only guess.

"Hmmm anyways… Ran there are two problems we need to deal with right now. Firstly, We need to make up your fake name so that the Black Organisation will not think you are still alive like me, especially they know about pills 'side effect.'" Even though Ran did not like lying to people, she realized that she did not have a choice. Especially what Haibara told her last night. "OK, but let me think up a name." She said and she folded her arms across her chest to think. " hmmm OK how about… Iris… Kudo…" Ran said. "Hmm but why?" asked Shinnich. Well Iris sound a lot like Irene Aldler… plus I think it's a cute name." Said Ran blushing. " Yes but why Kudo, that's my real name! What if they think you and I were related…." Before Shinnich could go on Ran put her hands on his lips. "quite Shinnich." Said Ran. " I know its quite risky but I think it will be all right. I mean I could say that I am a long distant relative of someone… As long as I don't act like myself I should be fine…" "hmm… Ok then." Said Shinnich, but Ran could tell that he was not happy about such decision. "there is one other problem." He said. "What are we going to tell your parents and Sonoko?" " This had shocked Ran as she had forgotten about them. What will she do? She knew that they would be searching desperately for her, and she can't tell them she is alright. Damn!

"What… What should I do?" asked Ran. "You should make up a story, like I did." Said Shinnich. Then Ran thought for a moment and said "hmm I guess, I'll have to tell them that I am going to my Karate torment. In fact I think I will call them now." Then Ran rang her home phone number and waited for the reaction of her parents.

Sorry for being too short but I WILL try to update again within two days ( gets bricked) anyway-sorry if the reason for Ran's name is kinda stupid but I like this name…
