What's Wrong With You, Haibara?

Edogawa Conan

"Hakase, repair your front door please! It's very funny for me to keep coming and going from the back door every time I visit you," I grunted as I leaned my skateboard on the wall. Agasa Hakase was laughing while stirring a cup of tea.

"Hahaha…I'm sorry, Shinichi...With Ai-kun refusing to come out from basement, I have too much things to do," said Hakase. I stopped wandering around the house abruptly and looked at Hakase instead.

"What do you mean…Haibara is locking herself up in the basement?"

"Yeah…she said she needs to finish the antidote quickly so that she can give it to you and you can turn back into Kudou Shinichi very soon. But I didn't think that she'd lock herself up and come out only to take bath and bring her meals in…"

"Bring her meals in? Hakase, don't tell me she has her meals inside the basement as well…"

"I'm afraid she does, Shinichi…"

And so I decided to check up on her. I was afraid something went wrong with her. She should be happy now that the Black Organization had been taken into prison and that she was free, but why did she act like she had even more burden on her shoulder than before we took down the Black Organization?

I opened the basement slowly, wondering what was Haibara doing inside. I heard ticking sound from her computer while she was typing non-chalantly. Upon my arrival, Haibara craned her neck towards me but looked back into the computer as though I wasn't there.

"Ha…Haibara?" I said as I walked towards her. She neither gave me a reply, nor a sign that she heard me.

"What is it? Hakase told you that I locked myself inside this basement?" she said with her cold and flat tone.

"Well, yeah, he kinda told me about it." I said, waiting for her response. But she didn't even blink, so I realised that she had no intention to answer my statement.

"C'mon, Haibara," I said eventually,"...I don't need the antidote so soon that you need to stay here forever," I went on, hoping to cheer up Haibara a bit. I sat closer to her, staring at her face.

"You were crying?" I asked in astonishment as I saw dried tears on her cheeks. Haibara stopped working and closed her eyes.

"Does it concern you?" she asked, now her eyes were looking sharp at me and her voice suddenly became stern.

"Yeah of course I'm concerned. If I'm not concerned why do I need to come here at the first place?" I said, still confused by her attitude. I knew she was cold all the time, but this was more than just cold...

She looked angry, but why?

"As long as I can make the antidote, you don't need to concern about anything…" she answered with her usual cold tone.

"Haibara…"

"You disturb me enough, so go away…"

"No listen to me…"

"I still have a lot of works to do…"

"I said listen…"

"Go away, Kudou - kun…"

"HAIBARA!!!"

There was an absolute silence for a while. Haibara was mystified, and I was on my feet without me knowing about it myself.

"Can't you listen to me just for a second?!" I said as I was glaring at her.

Another silence. She bit her lower lips, still looking at me without blinking.

"You don't want the antidote, Kudou-kun?" she said, eventually broke the silence. I stared at her as she looked away from me.

"I want it, for goodness sake, Haibara...I want it as bad as you do! But I don't want you to sacrifice every thing just to make the antidote. Hakase worries about you, don't you know that?" I said in a low voice. Haibara still didn't look at me.

"Thanks for your lecture, Kudou-kun. You may leave now…"

There was no way I could talk to her anymore. I didn't know what had happened, or what had gotten into her. I was standing there for a few moment before realizing that Haibara would not listen to me anymore.

"Fine, then…" I said finally, "just remember something Haibara. I care about you not just because you're the antidote maker…"

I walked out of the room and shut the basement's door. I leaned my back against the door for a while, wondering why my heart ached when I saw Haibara's dried tears back then.

Haibara, what's wrong with you?


The end of chapter three, what is really wrong with Haibara actually? I'm sure all of you know but sadly Conan doesn't know about it…Please give me your review, thanks!
