Entry 21

"Oka-san…please…"

"What's wrong with it?"

"Oookkkaaa-saaann…"

"It's perfectly fine young man."

I moan softly and made another mental note to remind myself to not EVER annoy Akako AGAIN.

~Flashback~

"Well?" The old man tapped his foot impatiently, "I'm waiting."

"We're sorry," I mutter, face down cast.

"Sorry? Oh really now? A repenting thief? Now that's a first." whispers Hakuba angrily.

"Well, what would you say then?" I whisper back. Hakuba opened his mouth.

"Don't you two DARE start another scene" cut in Aoko before Hakuba could get a word in, "we're in enough trouble already!"

I hear Akako give a loud sigh and muttering, "hell help me…how did I end up with these idiots?"

"Mina-san!" interrupted the principal holding up a hand, effectively silencing us, "do you want to get expelled?"

"No sir," we mutter.

"Well you certainly looked as though you wanted to," he replied gesturing for us to look out the window. I looked out and saw what resembled a mini battlefield. Broken windows, smashed desks, hell there was even smoke coming out of several classrooms. I give a small moan.

"So mina-san, what do you have to say for yourself?" not waiting for an answer he continued, "I'm extremely disappointed in your behaviour. It was a miracle that no one was hurt. Our school is in ruins AGAIN. I've got absolutely no idea how much the damage will cost your parents. Heaven help you when they find out. Let's pray it will not exceed that 7 digit number that Kuroba achieved last year. I'm also ESPECIALLY disappointed in you Nakamori and you Hakuba! You two should know better. I'll make sure your dads hear about this."

He stared each of us down as he said this. His wide bulging eyes reminding me uncomfortably of those f-finny things.

Finally he turned, practically frothing at the mouth, to Akako who seemed unfazed by this whole event, "And you miss-"

He stopped abruptly. His eyes took on a glazed look. I groan. Akako smirked.

"Yes sir?" She asked feigning innocence, "what about me?"

"Oh nothing m'dear. Nothing." He replied a little vaguely and unconsciously straightened his tie.

"Really?"

"Mm."

"So I'm free to go?"

"Uh yea. Sure."

"That's good to hear. Come Aoko-chan, Hakuba-kun," said Akako sweetly to them.

"Ano.." I say a little (ok I'll admit it) hesitantly as she grabbed Aoko's and Hakuba's arm. She turned.

"Oh you, hmm, why don't you stay here and continue to listen to our dear principal?" She replied throwing me a deadly smile that promised revenge.

I chuckle nervously, "Ah chotto-" I stretch out a hand.

"Ja ne then Kuroba-kun" sang Akako as she shut the door in my face.

I ran towards the door and skidded to a halt just before it.

"Ah yes Kuroba."

"Yes sir?" I grate out.

"So how do you like my poster? It's very good isn't it? Your mother recommended it to me. Now why don't you be a good boy and come have a cup of tea with me while we discuss the consequences one must face if one breaks the rules." He grinned darkly at me.

"B-but-"I choke out.

"But?" the principal asked jovially seemingly unaware that the room had lost three of its previous occupants. He sat down.

"A-ah…nothing sir."

That damned witch. I think furiously as I settle into the hard wooden stool facing the principal and awaited my doom.

"Good," he replied picking up the phone and dialling a number into it, "let's just see what we come up with now eh?"

~outside~

"Akako-san"

"Yes Hakuba-kun?" asked Akako smiling at the boy.

"Don't you think-"

"He'll be fine," she cut in before he could finish.

"But Akako-chan…" mumbled Aoko a little timidly.

"I repeat. He'll be fine. Or do you prefer to be in his place?" She gives them both a look.

"Uh…" They say uncertainly.

"GO," Akako commanded losing her cool and stalked down the corridor.

"H-hai." They scurried obediently after her.

~end of flashback~

I let out a long suffering sigh.

"Oka-san? I'm going out for a little while okay?"

"No. Finish your dinner."

"I'm going over to a friend's house."

"No. But have I met her?"

"It's a him an why do you always assume it's a her…?"

"Him then," she replied ignoring the other half of the question.

"Ah…I guess…in passing…"

"It's not one of those detectives that beat you up last time righhhhhtttt?"

"Uh," I cringe… "oi oi…oka-san is pretty observant…"

"Is it? If it is...just try not to get hurt this time okay?"

"I'm not a kid (oh how ironic…) mum!"

"Fine. Go. BUT make sure to RING me and DON'T COME HOME TOO LATE."

"Haiii!" I call out as I leave the house. "Oh shit. That's right…my phones STILL with that girl…better get it back as soon as possible. Taku! Those annoying brats. I'll make sure to get back at them"

Entry 22

Once. Twice. Three times. The door finally opened and the professor's flushed face appeared.

"Oh!"

"Konnichi wa professor!" I say cheerily, "I was just wondering but is Conan-kun here?"

"Ah yes, yes he is! Cona-"

"I'm here professor," came a cool voice, "What is it that you want Ra-" asked the midget gazing up at me with suspecting eyes.

"EH? What is Ran nee-chan doing here?" came three high pitched voices. I looked down.

"Ah," I say a little overwhelmed as a little girl hugged me tightly around the middle.

"Is Ran nee-chan here to make us the cookies she promised us earlier?" She asked innocently. I grimaced inwardly. Cookies? Oh hell no…

"Please please please!" The three of them beg.

"Hu- Ah what about we make something else?" I say as cheerfully as I can while thinking desperately of a way I can prevent them from getting food poisoning.

"But you promised!" They mumbled sadly as tears began to gather at the corner of their eyes.

"Ah.." I look around helplessly. Growling softly I crouched down and tried to reason with them."What about I take you guys for ice-cream instead?"

"But Ran nee-chan...I really wanna taste your cookies..." I throw Kudo a dirty look. Seriously all this hassle for a phone. I have half a mind to leave...wait a second...what if-

"Really Conan-kun? You really want the cookies that much? Ok then. I'll make them if your willing to help me though." Try and get out of this one Kudo! I watch as he withdraws in upon himself. "He won't say yes," I think confidently. I've got this in the ba-

"Sure, Ran nee-chan," he answers.

"Eh?"

"YAY GO CONAN-KUN!" Cheered the troublesome threesome at an ear splitting volume. Kids these days...

"I pass," said Haibara coldly, never looking up from her magazine, "I do not wish to risk my life nor my dignity."
