--*Chapter 7*--

When the police cars came to a stop, they were at a large abandoned school on the outskirts of Saitama. A swarm of officers gathered in front, and Shinichi warily led the way up to it, with Kaitou Kid next to him every step. He heard a shot, and their gunman prisoner was dead. He signaled to get back and wait for him, before calmly proceeding around. Once out of their sights, he unleashed his true power. Every sense was on edge as his feet effortlessly flew across the ground. He leapt up to the roof and quickly knocked out each sniper. He then landed gracefully and ran back around front. He nodded to the waiting policemen, and they continued inside. The group split in two, and they went opposite directions. Shinichi led one group, and at his request, Inspector Nakamori reluctantly let Kid lead the others. If they were to survive, they would need a keen set of senses on each team. This way, if one group got into trouble, the other team's immortal would catch it. Also, the vampire on the team in trouble could hold off attackers. He went right with Inspector Megure and some familiar faces, including Takagi, Satou, and Chiba, while Kid went left with Inspector Nakamori and the rest of them. Shinichi walked ahead down the corridor. It was well lit, with rooms on either side. Apparently no one was watching, as he heard no traces of movement. There were no black figures rushing towards them with weapons, so they pushed forward. At the end of the hallway, they met up with Kid's group, who clearly hadn't run into any trouble. They proceeded up to the second level together.

Once upstairs, Shinichi and Kid heard cries for help from the far side of the school, muffled but clear to vampire ears. Their eyes widened and they ran to the end as fast as they could without being suspicious, and it seemed like an eternity to reach the room. When they finally reached it, Inspector Nakamori's expression changed from determined to worried, and together they knocked down the door. All of them saw the same thing, though Shinichi and Kid saw it clearer. They saw Ran and a girl who looked like Ran with messier hair bound together and gagged. Guarding them was the face that had haunted Shinichi, all through his human life. "Gin," he hissed.

The silver-haired man held up a gun, but instead of firing, he knelt down and pressed it to Ran's head. Shinichi knew that he would not hesitate to pull the trigger, and the girl behind her would be quick to follow her into the next world. He nodded to Kid, and they both moved in an instant. Shinichi brought Gin down, while Kid untied the girls. After a moment of stretching-from the marks on their wrists and ankles, they hadn't been tied up long-Ran was ready to fight. The girl with her ran over to Inspector Nakamori and hugged him, repeating "Otou-san."

"She's your daughter?" Shinichi asked.

"Yes, her name is Aoko."

"Okay. Aoko, are you fighting as well?"

"Of course! Those punks need to pay!" She cried, grabbing a mop that was lying against a wall. Kid cringed.

"Um, why…" he began.

"You'll find out," the thief told him. Shinichi decided against asking further questions, and instead turned to leave the room. He was faced with a line of black figures, swarming in. 'I guess they found out we were here,' he thought, grinning. He leapt at them and started taking them out while watching the others fight. Kid was doing the same thing, observing their attacks. He saw what the kaitou meant by Aoko using a mop. She whacked down quite a few, while Ran eliminated others. The police fought well, and in a matter of minutes, the sea of black was brought down and the police were dragging them away, including Gin, still out cold. Kid held out his wrists for Inspector Nakamori, and he snapped on handcuffs. Clearly the thief expected that he would be in trouble anyway. Just about every human was injured, many shot, although no wounds were life-threatening. Ran was sitting against the wall. Shinichi walked over to her. "Are you all right?" He asked tentatively.

"What happened, Shinichi? All I remember is that guy pressing something to my face, and when I woke up, I was tied to Aoko!" She cried, tears in her eyes.

"I'll explain everything when we get home. Come on, I think we're leaving with Inspector Nakamori. I'm excited to see what will happen to Kid now, and there's space in the car, unless you'd like me to carry you home?"

"No, let's go," she chuckled, walking outside with him. They got into Nakamori's car and drove over to the police station, Kid and Aoko with them. Once there, they stepped out and went inside. The welcoming party in the front lobby was huge, although they were surprised to see that Kaitou Kid was with them. They walked up to a questioning room, and with the help of a few other officers making decisions with Nakamori, it was determined that Kid's actions in helping defeat the black shadow of Japan combined with his returning of every gem he stole outweighed the many times he had stolen. "Before you go, one thing," Nakamori said. "Who are you, really?"

The thief simply tipped his hat and said, "I will tell you when you catch me next."

Shinichi watched him disappear as he always did, and knew that the Kaitou Kid would always roam Japan on white wings. He left the building with Ran, and they denied a ride home in favor of looking around. They took a walk through the city before returning to the station. Shinichi stopped Ran from entering, saying "Let's allow them some time to think about what happened today."

"How will we get home, though?" She asked him, confused. "We don't have money for a plane, and we can't exactly walk home."

"Sure we can," he replied, kneeling to let her on his back. "Get on, and I'll carry you home."

"Are you crazy? You can't carry us all the way back to Tokyo!"

Shinichi grinned. "Hold on tight," he said. Ran got on and wrapped her arms around him. When he was certain that she would not fall off, he took off running in the direction of home. A few times, they would stop, Shinichi asked Ran to get off, and he would head out and hunt, to make sure that she would not be his next meal, before continuing on. They arrived in front of Shinichi's house by sunset, and he invited Ran to spend the night with him. He understood that she would have a lot of questions to ask him, and he would answer until she was content. He told her about being turned into Conan, how Ai was not who she seemed, how he had hunted for the Organization that troubled him for so long, about going back to the Cullen's house in Forks, about being a vampire, everything. When he finished, she sighed and said, "Just don't leave me ever again."

"I can't promise you that I'll always be with you, but I will be by your side as much as I can from now on," he told her.

"So, can you change me into...into a vampire?"

"I am capable of it, but I could never wish this same fate upon you or anyone. Besides, I'm not certain that I could resist your blood after tasting it."

Once Ran could leave the agency to live with Shinichi, they returned to the Cullens for a visit. She managed to convince Shinichi to change her under the condition that there were at least three other vampires present to prevent him from killing her. She rose in three day's time, spending a few months with them to grow accustomed to animal blood and learning to reject drinking from humans. The pair left for Japan and moved into the Kudo mansion, where Shinichi showed her how to hide their sparkle factor and went into further detail on what she had wanted to ask him concerning his time as Conan.
