Silentlane491: I will try to update ASAP. Got the appearance from other anime characters but I think it would work on Ai too. :D
Kaito and I walk together from the Beika station to Agasa's house. As we approach the gate, we saw Haibara waiting near the door.
"Ai-chan!" I called out, "Are you all done?"
"Miharu-nee chan. I am waiting for Hakase to come out. He should be done in a minute time." Haibara say to me.
Kaito looked really shock at Haibara's new appearance as we went closer towards her. In about a minute time, Agasa came out of the house.
"T-Thanks for waiting." Agasa said and locked the door. "Let's go then."
"Where are we going to take cab?" I ask.
"Let's go to the shopping district area. There should be a lot of cab around that area at about this time." Agasa said to me.
I nodded and we left for the shopping district. Kaito is still following us, walking beside me, finally overcome the shock. However, we did not chat as happily as we did before.
Upon reaching the shopping district, we stood at the side of the road and waited for a cab to pass by. After a short moment of waiting, a cab came by and Agasa flagged for it.
"Bye-Bye. Be careful okay?" Kaito said to me when I was about to board the cab. I nodded and smile back at him. Then quietly, boarded the cab.
The cab drove further and further away from where we had boarded. Kaito's shadow slowly started to disappear from my sight. When he was completely out of sight, I get kind of agitated.
I tried to calm down, and I started to fondle with the clover pendant that was hung around my neck. Somehow, playing with it makes me feel... Calmer. Soon, I was completely in peace. Haibara, who is sitting beside me, noticed it.
"A little gift from 'him'?" She asks.
Oh my gosh... Is it so obvious to her..?
"E-Eh. Umm... That's right." I stammered and blushed.
I look at Haibara and she smirk at me. I could feel a tingling feeling down my spine and my face is burning hot. I immediately turn and look out of the windows. I look out at the passing scenery of the city. Slowly my mind starts to wander.
Somehow, what I could think of is all about Kaito. His voice, echoes in my head, his appearance, and all types of emotion played in my mind continuously. I feel as if I am a broken recorder that replays the contents over and over again.
I do not know how long that has been on, the next time I had notice something is when we had reached the Twin Tower Building.
As soon as we exited from the cab, we met with Kogoro, Ran, Conan and the kids.
"Konbanwa Agasa Hakase, Ai-chan and Miharu-chan." Ran greeted us. Sonoko just wave hello to us.
"Konbanwa!" The kids all said together in harmony.
"Konbanwa." Haibara, Agasa and I greeted them back.
All of them were shocked at Haibara's change in appearance and so were we, shocked by Sonoko's change in her appearance. She looks exactly like Miyano Shiho, with her new perm brunette hair.
We all walk into the building and took the VIP elevator to the party hall. Many people already were there and they are about to commence the party. We all walk around hand have some quick bites on the different dishes that are serve on the various tables.
However, Kogoro is having a huge feast. He took a plate and filled it with many meats and veggies. Agasa, who is beside him was about to reach his fork out for a piece of juicy meat, but was then stop by Haibara. She insisted that Agasa eat less calorie food.
The dinner went along fine. We ate till we are full and we all went to watch the sunset. The sunset's orange colour dyed the entire Mount. Fuji, it was a magnificent view.
"'If I could watch this sunset with Shinichi, I will do anything' Right, Ran?" Sonoko teased Ran.
"W-What are you talking about?" Ran said and blushed. Conan blush a little too. I giggled at the two of them.
After a while, the sun sets down completely. It was in total darkness outside.
Tokiwa Mio walks up the stage and went towards the microphone and gave everyone a speech. She even provides an entertainment game for us.
"As an entertainment, I have prepared a little game for every one of us to play." She said through the microphone. Everyone attention was captured by her 'entertainment' word.
"This is a game that I inherited from my father, Tokiwa Kaneari. And it is also the thirtieth anniversary of the Tokiwa Corporation. We will be playing the '30 seconds' game." She announces.
"Oi! That's the game that Mitsuhiko showed us! We are going to win this!" Genta said.
Tokiwa explained the rules of the game to every one that has never play the game before.
"Whoever gets the closest to thirty seconds, will leave here tonight with… this Mustang Convertible!" She announce at the end of the explanation.
Everyone awed and some of them cheered.
"However, if there is a tie, we will settle it with Janken. The loser will received this mountain bike and helmet as the present." She further more added.
The audience laughed.
As everyone was getting ready and hyped up for the game, the assistance went around and collects every one's watches and pass them a coloured flag for the game.
As the assistance came to us, everyone surrenders their watches except for Conan, Haibara and I. The other person that did not played the game is Kisaragi Hosui.
The kids went to the front of the crowd. And they are starting the game.
"Eh, Conan and Haibara are not playing? Miharu-nee san too." Genta say. Ayumi sigh softly in disappointment.
"My assistance will say 'start'. When that happens, do count thirty seconds and raise the flag when you had finished counting." Tokiwa said and pass the microphone over to her assistance, Sawaguchi Minami.
"Ready… Start!" Sawaguchi said through the microphone.
The hall fell into total quietness as everyone started to count to thirty in their hearts.
After a while, people started to raise their flag. Amongst the crowd, a baby started to cry and a blue flag was raised.
"Stop!" Sawaguchi called out.
"The blue flag over there. Congratulations, you have won." Tokiwa announce.
Unexpectedly, it was actually Mouri Kogoro that won.
Kogoro went up on stage as people applauded for him. He went up and gave an embarrassing victory speech and came down.
After the game and speech, we gathered around Kogoro and congratulated him in winning the game. He boasts proudly about himself.
The lights of the hall suddenly been cut off and a spot light shone on the stage. The Emcee was in the spotlight introducing the prized work of Japan, the painting of the renowned Master Kisaragi Hosui.
A screen was drawn down at an end and pictures of Mount. Fuji was shown on it. Many different colours and views. It was truly magnificent. As it was closing to the end, the Emcee announces the final artwork. An artwork painted by Kisaragi Hosui to commemorate the Twin Tower Building.
The curtain that was behind the Emcee was drawn away. And the many spotlights shone onto the stage. Revealing a gore sight to everyone. Tokiwa Mio was hanging in the middle of the artwork by a string.
Kogoro, Conan and I ran up the stage and get the people to let her body down and close the curtain. The one operating the machine, Sawaguchi Minami, did as she was told.
Kogoro went and examine her body. Conan and I look around for clues. Kogoro announce that she was dead. And we found something shocking, a sake cup. It is related to the serial case in the afternoon.
We immediately called for the police, Megure-keibu. They came up within minutes as they were only near-by.
We discussed the case together and try to link the serial case together. Our prime suspect was, Sawaguchi Minami.
However, Conan thought otherwise. As Kogoro was giving his 'wonderful' deduction on why Sawaguchi was the murderer, Conan proved him wrong. He was angry that he threw Conan to the side. I went to get Conan.
When I got there, Conan was talking with Haibara about the case. Haibara gave Conan a little clue. And apparently, Conan stumbles onto an evidence. He ran down the stage and went to the windows. When I went down to check on him, I look at his facial expression. I know that he has already unravelled all the mystery on the serial case.
Suddenly, an explosion occurred and it shook the entire building. The entire building then black-out. However, the explosion still continues.
Kazama Hidehiko got information from guards that are monitoring the buildings that the Machinery room, Power Generator room and the Computer room was the source of the explosion.
Sawaguchi Minami said that the main computer was there and it means that the data of the Tokiwa Corporation would be gone.
The guards then warn us to get out of the building as fire is still spreading. Upon receiving all the information, the police are now planning on how to evacuate everyone in the hall.
"If the power generator room along with the machinery room are destroyed, that means there are no back-up powers. Then the elevator is down?" Shiratori-keibu asks.
"Yes." Kazama said in disappointment, "However, the VIP elevator might still work."
The last sentence he said shed some lights upon us. We went and check if the elevator is still working. Indeed, it did. We all sigh in relieve.
"What is the capacity?" Megure-keibu asks.
"About nine adults." Kazama replied.
"It will take too long to evacuate everyone this way. Is there any other faster way?" Shiratori-keibu asks.
"The emergency stairs. We can descend it and get to the other tower and get down to the ground by the other tower." Kazama suggests.
"Alright then! All the children, women and elderly will take the elevator. The rest of the men will follow us and take the emergency stairs." Megure-keibu ordered.
All the women and children line up in one line in front of the elevator. As the women and children are evacuating, fire trucks came and prepared to put out the fire.
The elevator has gone up and down for several times. As the elevator reaches the hall again, the kids and I entered the elevator with some other women. Ran asked Conan to go with us but unfortunately, it has over-loaded.
"C-Conan-kun…" Ayumi said in disappointment.
"Don't worry. I will be next." Conan said to assure Ayumi.
I put my hand on her shoulder and turn to Conan, "We'll see you again at the ground floor."
Conan smile and nodded.
"Alright, please go on ahead." Megure-keibu said to us.
We nodded and a lady presses the button to get the door to close.
"The remaining ladies and children along with Kisaragi-san shall take the next elevator." Megure-keibu told them. However, Kisaragi refused. He claims that he could still take the stairs like the other men. Megure-keibu doubted at first but agrees at the end.
The men then started went along with Kazama to take the stairs. Megure-keibu asked Shiratori-keibu to lead the crowd from behind while he stays behind to look after the women first. Conan also told something to Agasa before he left.
Back in the elevator…
The elevator suddenly stops half way and the door opens. A woman carrying a baby tried to board but see that it was over-loaded. She apologizes and step back out.
The kids and I took the initiative and went out of the elevator and allow the woman to board it.
She thanks us and the door of the elevator closes. The only source of light finally ceased. The entire corridor is in total darkness.
The kids started to panic except for Haibara and me.
"It is so dark."
"Which way should we go?"
"This is bad; we gave our light equipped watch away just now."
A bright light suddenly lighted in the dark corridor. Haibara turn on her light equipped watch. The kids cheered happily.
"Well then, now we have a light source. Let's go!" I say to the kids.
"Wait a moment. Why don't we wait for the lift?" Genta asks.
"Fool. The next lift will be over-loaded as well. Rather than waiting, we should hurry over to the other building and get down to the ground via there." Haibara explain to him.
"I-I see." Genta says, "Let's go then."
We started to walk around in search for the emergency stairs. As we were exploring around, I could feel that someone is following us. I could also hear footsteps that do not belong to us. I started to feel uneasy. I stopped and turn around.
"How about stop following us and show yourself!" I shouted.
"Miharu-nee san… What are you talking about? There is no one except us here." Mitsuhiko says.
I shook my head, "No, there ARE some people there."
"Good job in noticing us." A voice sounded from the dark.
Slowly and silently, many people in dark clothing came out from the shadows. They gave off an unpleasant aura.
Two… No wait, there is more… About four of them are here.
I was right. Four men came out of the shadows and surround the kids and me. They seem to be preying on us. I stood at the front, covering for the kids.
"Target, lock on." One of them says.
The others started laughing hysterically. Finally they stop, and the first guy that spoke just now speaks up once again. He seems to be the leader among the rest of them.
"Capture them! I bet Gin-Aniki will be glad if we capture these preys."
GIN!
I stood in my battle stance, ready to fight against them.
"Whoa! Looks like we aren't able to capture them without a fight." One of the other three guys jeered.
"Boys!" The first guy called out, "Get ready for a fight!"
The moonlight shone into the corridor, lighting up the battle stage for me.
Sorry for such a late update in the chapter.
