Chapter 11

Thorn Wedding

Sorry for the long delay everyone! But here's the chapter where Vermouth tells Ai that Gin and Vodka out of jail! So here is the chapter!

Ai stood on a balcony of the ball room of the wedding, still waiting for the guests to arrive, as well as the bride and groom, whom were Ran and Jonathon.

She was staring at the stars and the full moon and imagined the future, and where she will be and who will she be then. She tried to imagine her wedding in the future but failed. She would never guess her future.

Her long blonde hair was in a bun and her bangs were fixed in a nice way and some streaks of front hairs were glittery and curled, like most of her hair. Her makeup was simple, but still enhanced her beautiful face more. Her sapphire gown seemed to make her look like a fairytale princess.

"Hello Ai" Conan called. Ai looked at him, and smirked her usual smirk. Conan was wearing a black tail tuxedo and his red bow tie and a single red rose in his breast pocket. And Ai for a moment imagined him being her fairytale prince, and slightly blushed.

"You look beautiful" He said but his eyes showed more than that. It showed strong love and seemed as if they were enchanted by the cherub in front of him.

Ai tried to hide her blush and did so successfully though she knew that Conan knew that she was truly blushing inside but was smirking on the outside. He brought his lips to hers and closed his eyes as he kissed those beautiful and delicious lips that made him forget about anything else in life.

A voice interrupted the romance and sparks. "Hello love birds. The guests are arriving." Hakase interrupted.

The two let go, both blushing deeply. Hakase chuckled. "Ah I envy you two." He said before leaving. Ai and Conan both followed him quickly still blushing madly. The guests had truly only just arrived, followed by the wife and groom. Jonathon upon seeing Ai made a beeline for her and hugged her. She hugged back slightly putting envy in Conan's eyes at Jonathon's own wedding.

Ran was at his side in an instant. "I didn't know that you knew Ai-Chan" She said. Conan instantly went and hugged Ran in a little brother way. "I'm so happy for you Ran-neechan." Conan said in his childish voice. "Thank you Conan-Kun!" Ran said. And while that conversation was going which was mainly to stall Ran from listening to Ai and Jonathon's conversation, Ai smiled brightly in a sisterly way to Jonathon. "Congratulations Johnny, I hope you love her well and don't cheat on her. Please protect her as well. I do hope you'll be happy" Ai said.

"Don't worry. I love her as much as you love Shinchi-Kun. And yes. I am very happy. And I hope you are too." Jonathon said and then hugged her again and he and Ran walked away to greet other guests, which included Sonocko and Kazuha- who were the bridesmaids.

"I'm happy that he's happy. I still kind 'a feel guilty for leaving him at the ceremony." Ai said. "But you got me in the end right" Conan added. Ai nodded.

"Well how are you love birds doing?" Heji came alone.

"Why does everyone that knows our secret calls us that?" Ai asked irritably. "Even none-secret knowers." Conan added, as Sonocko came their way. "So it's the young lovers! Oh hey Hattori-Kun" Sonocko passed by them and left. "SEE!" Both Ai and Conan said at the same time.

"It's because you both look cute together" said Heji. Ai and Conan both glared at him before sitting at a table. "These high-heels you got me are making my feet ache Shinchi." Ai mumbled to him. "Well maybe I just wanted you to only dance with me, since I will be helping you since your terrible at dancing and I'll be half carrying you through the dance." Conan replied to that with a pervy glance at her. "Woooh" Heji whooped for them. Both punched him.

The music started and everyone was dancing. Even Mitsuhiko and Ayumi were dancing together. Conan got up and grasped Ai's hand in a gentlemanly way and said "May I have this dance My Lady?"

Ai smirked and did a fake lady giggle and let Conan pull her up. They then went to dance. Conan put arms around her waist and waltzed, slow danced and hip-hop danced through the songs, with two people watching from a distance.

Jonathon walked over to a lady with long black hair. "Who are you? You have been staring at those children for a very long time. Why?" Jonathon asked.

She smirked at him. "You know they're not children" She whispered. Jonathon gasped. "How do you know?" he asked. "I think you should know as well as them. Gin and Vodka are out of jail." She said before leaving him gasping for air.

Gin and Vodka out of jail?! Jonathon thought to himself. He knew enough to lose all the color from his face. Ai told him enough words for him to stop breathing.

"Is everything alright John?" Ran suddenly asked him. He looked at his new wife and suddenly all color returned to his face. And he smiled. He loved Ran too much to think of such things. He will tell Ai later.

Phantom glanced at Ai, and felt sadness and wished he could repent his sins. It was like he was killing his only friend in the world. She was the only one who'd joked with him at the organization. She was the only one who'd chase away his sadness when he was feeling down. He pulled his gaze away from Ai, and wiped the tears that quickly formed. He had never cried before, and he never wanted to either. Crying made you look weak. And looking weak was not good in the organization.

Vermouth stood in a way to show her existence to Ai. Ai smelt her and shivered. "Are you alright Ai?" Conan asked in concern. "Someone from the Org. is here" Ai whispered. He looked around until his eyes widened. "Vermouth" He said and nudged his nose in her direction. Ai looked and saw Vermouth signaling her to follow her. She looked at Conan and he nodded so Ai followed her.

She entered the Ladies room and saw Vermouth checking if the bathroom was empty, and it was so Ai waited so Vermouth can start talking.

Vermouth was not an emotional person. She didn't want to see the tears on Ai's face though. She maintained her smirk as she spoke, though not looking at Ai's face. "What is it?" Ai asked, as if sensing her uneasiness.

"Phantom and I were appointed by the Boss to get Gin and Vodka out of jail" She started.

Ai gasped. "Are you going to do it?" Ai asked.

"The thing is Sherry…I already did" She said slowly.

It took a whole minute for the words to sink in to the poor girl. When they did however, Ai lost more color the Jonathon did and looked even yellow. And she then ran into the nearest cubicle and vomited in it.

"I'll get your boyfriend" Vermouth said before leaving.

Ai began crying as she vomited more. She was terrified.

Conan and Hakase ran in the bathroom. "Vermouth told me" He said as Ai fled into his arms, weeping.

She knew that life will never be the same.
