Tricks for the Mind

A/N: It hasn't been very long since I updated and I'm pretty sure at least ONE person reads this. That's fine, I don't care if you feel like reviewing, are too lazy to review, or just plain like reading and not typing any sort of response. Otherwise, you just don't read this. This story was thought up in a flash when I asked my parents to name the seven sins. It ended up as having EVERYTHING we do a sin of some sort. It was kinda freaky that breathing was a sin too but every sin had a logical answer. Okay, so it wasn't so logical, but it was close enough.

Trick 5: Sins

Synopsis: Kudo-kun, everything is a sin.

----------------------------------------

"I swear to god, being with Ran is like some sort of sin that people are keeping me from committing!" Conan yelled angrily. Ai put her magazine down and looked at him for a couple of seconds before she finally got his attention.

"Kudo-kun, you should very well know that EVERY SINGLE THING we do is a sin of some sorts. It's common knowledge. What's a sin for you, is a sin for another being as well." Conan looked at her like she was crazy.

"So, tell me Haibara, how is being happy a sin?" He said, showing a smug smirk knowing that he had won this argument.

"Well, while you're being happy about something, someone else is not, therefore making it a sin. A sin is anything that you do that others do not approve of or is something that makes another person feel bad. "

"Then what about being sad?" He was really interested now.

"While you're sad, someone else is probably sad about what you're sad about too. Still a sin." Ai had already been captivated in her magazine once again as she answered. Conan thought long and hard about this one. Then he found an answer like the clever little detective he is.

"What about breathing? I mean you can't have someone sad at you for breathing and living."

"Oh? Look at your life. The Syndicate is not very happy that you're breathing or living. Therefore, it's a sin." Now he was completely stumped. If living was a sin, what about death?

"What about death?"

"That's a sin as well. When you die, somebody is going to be sad. That's probably the biggest sin yet also the smallest." Conan thought it over that night and couldn't find an answer. He slept for two days straight trying to find an answer when he suddenly heard a huge voice calling out to him telling him to wake up. He woke up from his sleeping bag and still heard the voice. Now he was getting creeped out. The voice didn't sound like anyone he knew. Just then, his eyes shot open again and he was in a hospital room. Rubbing his head, he saw a bunch of people there.

"What happened?" He said groggily.

"You passed out while walking down the street. You looked like you were daydreaming. You've been here for two weeks." Ai said. She was the only one there, because what Conan saw was a weird hallucination from his headache.

"Say, Haibara...is everything a sin?" Conan wanted to find out if he had been dreaming about something he could not figure out other than the fact that people killed one another.

"Why, yes. THAT part wasn't a dream." And Conan fell backwards again.

------------------------

A/N: Yes, kinda crappy and very cheesy ending. It's a lot funnier in real conversation. I couldn't stop laughing when my parents told me that.
