Only You
Kudou Shinichi
Three days had passed quietly. Summer holiday would be started next week, and I began to recall my summer holiday last year when I was still Edogawa Conan. It had been three days since I was back to Kudou Shinichi. Also, it had been three days since Haibara went away to a place which only God and she knew.
Haibara…I let out a heavy sigh upon remembering her. That girl…she was like the summer breeze. Suddenly she came to my life and then went away in the same sudden. Without giving me any chance to enjoy the coolness. Without giving me any chance to know why she had become a part of my life.
She had gone, without coming back…
And I honestly didn't understand why my heart ached a lot when I read the letter she left at Hakase's house together with the antidote. It was even more painful than when I saw Ran cried after I shrunk into Conan two years ago.
"Shinichi?"
I craned my neck and found Ran in front of the door. I put down "The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes" which I hardly read for the last half an hour and smiled at her.
"I didn't hear you came in…"
She smiled back at me, "You were thinking about something, weren't you?"
I was lucky that Ran was not a CIA agent, because if she was, she would be able to tell that I lied when I shook my head as the answer of her question. She had been waiting for me for two years, and when I was back to her I couldn't possibly tell her that something about another girl was in my head.
"Very well then…I bring dinner for you, I'll prepare it now OK?"
"Alright, thanks Ran…"
Her long black hair was dancing on her back as she walked out of the reading room. Ah, Ran…I couldn't hurt her when she was so kind to me. And of course, Ran was the one I loved since we were both children right? So it was impossible for me to suddenly love another girl who I knew two years ago, wasn't it?
Oh well, I hoped so…
The next day, Shinichi…
"Ran-oneesan, Ran-oneesan!"
Both Ran and I craned our neck towards the voice and we found three third grade students coming towards us, panting. I raised my eyebrow in surprise to see Ayumi-chan, Genta-kun and Mitsuhiko-kun came in such a hurry.
"Doushite, Ayumi-chan?" Ran asked. She seemed to have something important to say but when she caught my eyes she fell silent.
"We…we have something to tell Con – I mean Kudou-senpai…" Mitsuhiko-kun answered Ran's question instead. Ran nodded and walked away from us.
"See you then, Shinichi!"
I watched the three of them nudging each other's ribs and tried so hard to avoid my eyes. It was so amusing that eventually I burst into laughter.
"What's with you guys? And what's that 'Kudou-senpai'? For goodness sake, I'll always be the same Conan-kun for you!"
The three of them looked up and grinned, "You spoke just like Haibara-san," said Genta.
My heart twitched when I heard Genta mentioned her name casually as if nothing had happened. I forced a smile as they came nearer to me.
"So? What is it you want to talk about so urgently?"
Ayumi-chan took out a piece of photo, "Ai-chan gave us pictures of five of us…but I think, I just think that…" she looked back at the picture before continuing, "…that maybe Ai-chan meant to give this picture to Conan-kun instead…"
I took the picture from Ayumi-chan's hand and looked at it. It was a picture that Hakase took for us when we went to cycle at Karuizawa on last year's summer holiday. I was cycling in the middle with Mitsuhiko-kun and Ayumi-chan next to me. But it seemed that Haibara had edited it; she made every single thing except for my figure was black and white. Two words were scribbled at the bottom right of the picture.
Only You…
"Conan-kun, it may not be my business but…I think Ai-chan likes you a lot…"
I looked at Ayumi-chan with doubt in my eyes, "How do you know? It's just a piece of picture…"
"I'm a girl too, Conan-kun! I know it when a girl falls in love, especially if the girl falls in love with a boy that I like!"
Her cheeks turned red after saying those words and she stared at her feet. I still couldn't believe that Haibara liked me, but this piece of picture actually said more than just words.
"But is it really…"
"Anata wa meitantei ja nai?!?! (Aren't you a great detective?!?!)" Mitsuhiko's angry voice cut my sentence before I finished it. Genta-kun and Ayumi-chan were surprised with his sudden reaction, and so was I.
"Can't you see it? Even I could see it, aren't you ten years older than me, Conan-kun?!"
I tried to find the correct words to answer him, but I couldn't possibly find them. I only stared at Mitsuhiko-kun whose face was red with anger. To find the one that he loved actually loved somebody else must be very hurtful for him.
"We really must go, Conan-kun," Ayumi-chan spoke, "…good luck!"
I hold the picture tightly as I watched them walked away. The words 'Only You' seemed to be flashing in my mind again and again. Probably that scene in the picture which was on my hand, Mitsuhiko's anger and those two words would be carved in my heart forever.
And maybe, just maybe, that girl who wrote the two words would remain in my heart, too…
Oh, oh, Shinichi! Aren't you a little bit too late? Ai-chan is going away and you've just realized that you love her!!! How's this, guys? Give me your review, thanks!
