(Shinichi's POV)

It is already 8 in the morning when I woke up. I was supposed to stretch my arms when I suddenly realized that someone was lying beside me. I surveyed the room and found out it was the dining room, I slept on a couch with… Shiho? 'Why am I here? Why is she beside me?' I thought to myself, panicking. I calmed down, or at least I tried, and recalled what happened last night. Flashbacks came to me and realized how we ended up in this awkward position. Our position was me lying down the couch with my feet up and left arm supporting Shiho's head, which was on my chest and her hands just beside her head. My free arm, which was the left, was wrapped on her small waist. 'She is so gonna kill me if she sees us like this.' I carefully lifted her head, placed it on the pillow of the couch then stood up.

I stretched my arms then sat on the floor beside her.

"Why can't you just try to relax a bit? They won't come in here and kill you you know? Remember they are already in jail." I said loudly to the woman who was sleeping.

"It was never written in the law that one would be punished if she kept her guard up." She replied while sitting up.

"Yeah I know but… why don't you try to sleep real just once?"

"Why? Are you saying that I wasn't really sleeping and was awake the whole night? I would praise you if you wouldn't need to sleep. Even vampires sleep in the morning."

"That is not what I meant! I mean… sleep deep? You know! Sleep like a dead person. Sleep like there is no tomorrow. Sleep peacefully. Sleep soundly. Sleep like… they never existed." I said slowly.

She just smirked at me and said, "Hai, hai. I will tantei-san, I will." And with that she stood up and prepared breakfast.

Breakfast was porridge, fruits, and fortune eggs. The porridge was, as expected, heaven. The fruits were fresh as if they were just picked from a tree. And the fortune eggs were just simply good to pair with the porridge. We ate in silence and Shiho washed the dish. While she was washing I sat down the couch and picked up the newspaper.

I heard the water flowing stopped indicating that Shiho was done. I placed down the newspaper and looked at the clock. It was already 8:30. I saw Shiho enter the dining room and called out to her,

"Oi Shiho! Get ready already, it's almost 10."

She just nodded in response.

(Shiho's POV)

I took a bath, brushed my teeth, dried my hair, picked my outfit, picked my sandals, brushed my hair, and I looked at myself in the mirror. I brushed my hair, which was fixed, again.

'Are you trying to look good?' I thought to myself. "Heck no." I said loudly.

"Heck no, what?" a male's voice asked as he opened the door.

"Nothing. Oh and by the way, have you ever heard of the verb, knocking?" I said sarcastically.

"Alright alright." He went out again and knocked; he entered then said, "Happy?"

"No. I didn't say you could get in." I said smirking. He once again went out and knocked and asked if he could come in.

"No." I said enough for him to hear at the other side of the door.

"Come on Shiho!"

"Just kidding. Open the door." The door opened revealing an annoyed look on Shinichi's face.

"Sheesh. Anyway, ready to go now?" he asked.

"Yeah." I said and stood up from the chair I was sitting from.

(Shinichi's POV)

My eyes twitched when I saw what Shiho was wearing.

"Oy. Could you change in to something… longer?" I said, my eyes still twitching.

Shiho was wearing a hanging blouse and shorts. I don't know why but when she wears that kind of shorts in the house with only me and hakase around its fine, but when she uses it when she goes out, I feel like… I don't know.

"Why?" I heard her say.

"Because… Shiho…" I paused and walked closer to her and held her shoulders and continued, "Please… don't make things hard for me. I don't know also. It just… bothers me." I said while my head facing the suddenly-interesting-floor.

"You don't want other people to see me wearing these because it exposes much of my skin?" she asked monotonously.

"Yeah… something like that."

"Want me to tell you what you're feeling?"

I raised my head to face her, "What?"

She leaned down to reach my ears and whispered, "Kudo Shinichi is… jealous."

"What?" I said jumping back. "Why would I be jealous? I cant be jealous! I am not jealous." I stated.

"Well then if you aren't, lets go." She said and grabbed a small sling bag and hung it over her shoulders.

She caught my arm and went out the house. I stood up on my own and saw the passer by's, woman, man, lesbian, gay, kid, teenager, or adult, looking at us. Well more like Shiho. Some of the guys even whistled at Shiho. Shiho, well, she just shrugged it off.

I was feeling that feeling again. Uhhhhh… what the heck is happening to me? I feel… irritated, angry, hurt, every negative feeling! Is it because they are looking at Shiho? I don't know!

'Could I really be… jealous?'

There you go! i am sooooo sorry if it's short! let me share you one thing. i personally am not a fan of long chapters. what i tend to do when they are so long is skip parts and just read the ones where the characters speak. i am sorry! please forgive me! =((

Lots of Love
