Disclaimer: I do not own Detective Conan.

Hey guys, I know it has been three years since I updated the story. I've been too busy in college (managed to finish it in three years yay!) that I didn't have time to finish up the story. Now that I've graduated, let me write a closing to this story. Sit back and enjoy!

Shinichi Kudou

My footsteps echoed in the empty, dark hall. Being Kudou Shinichi definitely allows me to see things in different perspective. Things look a lot smaller than they usually are.

Seven-forty. Classroom 1-B, Teitan Elementary School. I opened the sliding door, slowly...

It's empty. Dark and empty. I could feel my heart sinking to my stomach.

I was confident in my deduction that Haibara Ai, I mean Miyano Shiho would be here, waiting for me like what she said in the letter. This is the place she finally found friends, people that she could trust, and...me. The one she loves.

This is where we are sitting next to each other every single day. This is where we spend half of our life as Conan and Haibara together!

Then why, why isn't she here? Or, am I too late?

I let my body sunk onto the floor. That picture was still in my hand. One drop of tears fell onto the word "Only You".

"I love you, Haibara..." I whispered unconsciously. I guess she felt this way every day, every time I mentioned Ran in front of her, I guess this is the kind of pain she felt. She's got the last laugh now, as I will be one suffering man who will need months, years, or probably my whole life to forget about her, my summer breeze...

"You look depressed."

I thought my heart stopped beating. A woman's voice. Surely a voice I'm familiar with, only with a more matured tone. I turned so quickly that I thought I sprained my neck. The night wind slipped through the slightly ajar door, where a beautiful woman stood still, smiling at me.

"Hai...no, I mean, Miyano...Shiho?" I slowly stood back up as she walked towards me. The moonlight shone at her beautiful face. I didn't realise she was that beautiful until that night. She began examining me from head to toe. She even walked around me, just like a doctor examining her patient. I was confused.

"Nothing wrong. It seems like the antidote worked just right, huh?"

"Ah, yes..." I replied, suddenly I was at loss for words due to the confusion. What was she doing actually?

"Then? Why are you looking for me?"

This girl! I thought angrily, she was playing with me!

I grabbed her two hands and pulled her so that she's closer to me. Standing right in front of an opened window, we were looking at each other under the moonlight.

"Don't go!" I blurted out, "onegai..." I added. She tried to avoid my gaze. I turned her face so that she couldn't help but to look at me.

"I didn't realise it all along. I thought that it was Ran who filled my heart. I took your presence for granted that I've never thought about the time that we are to be apart, that we are not sitting next to each other in class, that I won't hear your icy cold remarks continuously, that...that I..." I swallowed the little lump in my throat, "that I will miss you this badly..."

Tears slowly welled up in her eyes. She tried to hide those tears, but I refused to let her go.

"Don't look away. I want to see you. I want to see your tears. Everything about you. I want to see..."

Say it, Shinichi!

"I love you, Shiho. Zutto aishiteru..."

She was smiling, yet crying at the same time. I felt a heavy boulder lifted from my heart.

"Baka...baka, baka, baka, BAKA!" she repeated that word as she struggled in my arms. "I love you too, Shinichi!"

As she flung her arms into my embrace, I realised that there was no luggage around. I smiled.

Maybe, just maybe, she didn't plan to go after all. Maybe she said all those just to make me realise how much I love her. Or maybe she really planned to go.

As she pulled herself away from my embrace, I looked at her teary eyes. I stopped thinking about whether she really planned to go or not. The sight before me was too beautiful to be missed.

"I love you, Miyano Shiho..."
