I changed up the end of Ch. 3 a little, so please read it first.


Chapter 4: Meeting

Amuro plopped down on his bed, thinking about the little girl he saw only an hour or so ago. It all made sense now... how she escaped, why Shinichi was marked dead, and why Conan was so sharp.

'But that woman…' He thought about his encounter with Shiho on the Mystery Train. 'How did she survive?' Amuro contemplated for a while. 'I'm sure they planned to fake her death, just like they did his…' He shook his head. 'It doesn't matter. What does matter is that she's still alive.' He gave a sad smile, looking at his police badge. 'If only I could say the same about you...'


"Oh yeah, Mom, I bumped into this kid that looked just like Kichi-nii!"

"Oh?"

"Where is he now, anyway? I hope he's alright…"

Mary smirked. "Oh… I'd say he's doing pretty well right now."

"Wait, what does that mean?"

A loud thud could be heard from outside their door, and Sera quickly ran to open it.

"Ow…" The young man carefully stood up.

"Woah, are you okay? Wait a minute... you're that guy from earlier!"

"Oh! Sorry about that, sir." He quickly apologized, rubbing the back of his head.

"No, it's fine… Wait, sir? I'm a girl!" She put her hands on her hips.

"Huh?" He looked at her in disbelief. "Oh, I'm so sorry!" He bowed, hitting his head against the wall.

"Are you okay?" Sera raised an eyebrow and held back a laugh.

"Yeah, I'm fine…" He dismissed. "Well, nice seeing you again!" He happily said as he walked off.

"What a weird kid." Sera turned to her mother. "That's the guy I was telling you about!" She peered over to see if he was still there. "Ah, I didn't get his name…" She shrugged. "Oh, well. Something wrong, Mom?"

Mary stood there with mournful eyes. 'Eisuke…'


The next day…

Conan, Amuro, and the Mouri's were out on another case. Of course, Amuro and him had already solved it, the only problem being trying to get the others to as well without blowing their own cover. Conan couldn't play the usual Sleeping Kogoro with Amuro lurking around, and Amuro was enjoying the spectacle.

"A-le-le? Isn't this strange?" Conan called out in an exaggerated voice.

Amuro inwardly laughed. 'He's quite an actor…'

The case had been solved, and everyone was heading home.

"Well done, Mouri-kun!" Megure complimented.

"Although I'm kinda disappointed to not see your usual Sleeping Kogoro…" Takagi chuckled.

"Idiot, what are you saying?"

"And you were pretty impressive as well, Conan-kun!" Sato smiled.

"Eh? Ah, I didn't really do anything..." He nervously laughed.

"No, you were a great help!" Takagi pat his head.

As they left, Amuro held Conan back. "Great work out there…" He whispered in his ear. "Kudo-kun."

As he left, Conan just stood there. Motionless.

"What's wrong, Conan-kun? It's time to go home."

"..."

"Conan-kun?"

"C-coming Ran-neechan!" He gulped.


Eisuke knocked on the door of the Mouri Detective Agency, but heard no response.

"Out on a case?" He thought out loud. "Well, I guess that's what happens when you come unannounced."

Sonoko and Sera were out shopping while waiting for Ran to come back. Sera was a little disappointed that the case was already solved by the time she called.

'As expected of Kudo-kun…' She smiled.

"Hey, let's wait for Ran, since she should be back soon." Sonoko pointed at the Mouri Detective Agency, eyes widening. "No way…"

"What is it, Sonoko...chan?" Sera stopped when she saw the figure, who also caught sight of them.

"Suzuki-san!" Eisuke happily ran to them. "Hm?" He peered over to look at Sera.

"It's you!" They both yelled in unison.

"What, you guys know each other?" Sonoko raised an eyebrow.

"Well, a little…" Sera said.

Listen, Masumi. You should keep an eye out on that boy, see why he's here, okay?

'Why did she ask me to do that?' She thought curiously.

"We're actually staying at the same hotel." Eisuke said.

"Huh?" Sera looked up. "Uh, yeah.."

Sonoko looked at them. "Hm, small world… Well, nice to see you again!" She patted Eisuke's back.


"Alright, remember to come home by dinnertime, okay? I'm making your favorite!"

"Mm. See you later Ran-neechan!" Conan waved goodbye as he headed into Agasa's house.

"I have some business of my own to take care of, so..." Amuro turned in he opposite direcion. "I'll see you later."

"Bye, Amuro-san!"

He smiled as they left, walking back around. He grinned at the large house in front of him.

"He knows your real identity?!" Agasa asked nervously.

"It looks like it…" Conan nodded. "Ah, but he's undercover! So it's not like he's a threat to us, right?"

"In that case, I guess he knows I'm still alive?" Haibara asked.

"I suppose..." He nodded.

"And what if he hadn't been a spy? You were lucky this time, but we need to be more cautious."

"I got it, I got it…" He waved off, annoying her.

Their conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door, which Conan went to answer. He sighed as he saw who it was. "Speak of the devil..."

"Yo, Shin-chan!" Amuro casually greeted, inviting himself in.

"A-amuro-san…"

"You must be the great Hakase I've heard so much about." He shook Agasa's hand.

"Well, I don't know about great…" He chuckled.

"And you…" He smiled at Haibara. "Must be Shiho, right? It's nice to meet you." He extended his hand out to her.

"Don't." She hissed at him. "Call me that."

"Ah. Would you prefer Ai-chan instead?"

"Er, Amuro-san..." Conan asked, avoiding Haibara's intense glare. "Why did you come here?"

"As a matter of fact..." Amuro smirked. "I have a proposition for you."

He pulled a large envelope out of his bag.


I'll probably do a little time skip or a short scene of the actual takedown of the org. Most of the story will be post-BO.

*Apparently Amuro is great at playing guitar?! Oh, and Sera also learned from her brother's friend? Okay, I know exactly how I want this to turn out, now I just need a guitar to come up somehow...

Review? :D
