Episode 3: Me, Him, and the Black Organization!
Last time on Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu to Meitantei Conan!
"I-I pass on the last suggestion.. Ehehehe~ *clears throat* I'm just here to tell you to be more careful from now on. (Ai: *whispering: because miss, you're talking to a death magnet... Conan: *whispers back, without the voice changing device: urusai!*) That's all. Bye" then he hung up leaving Aiko wondering.
Aiko just shrugged and hid the phone in her skirt's pocket and left the school quietly.
On the way home...
Aiko was busy texting with her classmates, especially with Yuuko and Shouko and does not notice the clad in black walking behind her.
She decided to call her second cousin because her curiousness was killing her since the time he called.
Calling Kudou Shinichi ...
"Hello?" Conan answered through his voice changing device again
"What do you mean by I should be more careful from now on?" Aiko asked with impatience on her voice
"*sighs* Listen Aiko-chan, to make the long story short, there is an organization after me. Because they've used a poison drug on me, namely APTX 4869 or Apoptoxin which is supposed to kill me without traces left in the body..."
"If it is supposed to kill you, then what happened to you? A drug like that is impossible to have you still normal now. There may be side effects or whatchamacallit" she reasoned out which made Conan think if he's going to blew his cover up or make another lame excuse
"Wait a sec" Conan excused himself and called Haibara using his Conan phone
"What is it?" she answered with the same cold tone
Then he explained the whole thing to her, and this was her answer;
"Then tell her. She doesn't look like a stupid person who won't understand it. She's the fifth honored student of Fumizuki Academy after all!"
"Right! Arigatou Haibara" then he went back to Aiko without using the voice changing device
"Hello? Aiko? You still there?"
"What the-? What happened to your voice?"
"This is the effect. I turned into a child instead of dying"
Then Conan was shot by numerous questions from her until...
"So, Shin-san, what should I- mfph! *thud*"
"Oi? Aiko-chan?" then a chill went up to his spine. 'There's something wrong', he thought.
On the street Aiko was walking...
"So, Shin-san, what should I- mfph! *thud*" Aiko was forced to inhale some kind of drug which made her sleepy and drop her cellphone and made her unconscious.
"I got her" the dark skinned man said
"Good job... Bourbon"
"I got her"
"Good job... Bourbon"
"Now, what are we going to do with her?"
"We're just going to ask her a few questions and she's good to go!" then they lay her inside Bourbon's car, on the back seat and drove somewhere. Unknown to them that there is an extra passenger inside their car trunk
After a few minutes. At an abandoned apartment
7:16 pm
Aiko slowly opened her eyes and felt dizziness. As she reached for her forehead, she realized both her hands were tied behind her and so does her feet. Then a voice was heard behind.
"So you're awake now?"
"Wh-what do you want?" she nervously asked but she tried to hide it at the best of her ability
"Easy there dear, we're just here to ask a few questions" this time, a female voice was heard.
Aiko, noticing her surroundings, she is in a pretty familiar place, like she has passed on to this building while walking home. The roofs are worn out, like, rain can easily enter through the holes. The walls' paint are fading out. Then it hit her. She is in an abandoned place.
And the two persons are her kidnappers. But it felt like she is missing something. Her thoughts were interrupted when Vermouth started talking.
"Who are you and who is Shinichi Kudou to you?"
She felt like she wanted to joke around with the two persons around her. Or is it really two only?
"What's this? Some kind of gag show? You've kidnapped me but you don't know who I am? Are you idiots?"
Her statement made Bourbon mad that he pointed a gun on her head which made her eyes widen, her heart beat faster and she's obviously trembling in nervousness
And his action made the extra passenger they had before do his move. Wearing ninja gear which is covering his entire body except for his eyes and hair.
[Now Playing! Fall to Pieces, Avril Lavigne]
Aiko knew who he is. As she had seen him in that outfit a lot of times. She tried to avoid his gaze but then, she secretly looked at him. Glad to see him in that time she thought nobody will come for her.
Yes, him, the Silent Pervert Ninja, or Muttsulini, or... Tsuchiya Kouta.
"Ara? Who's this? You're knight in shining armor?" Vermouth teased the girl sitting before her
"I prefer the title 'Pervert Ninja boyfriend' instead" he said grinning although it can't be seen under his mask.
(I looked away
Then I looked back at you
You tried to say
The things that you can't undo)
"What can you do now muttsulini? If you move closer to her I'm going to pull the trigger" Bourbon warned.
Aiko was worrying on Kouta. She don't know what's going on inside his mind but inside her, she was hoping that they will get out of this trouble safe.
(If I had my way
I'd never get over you
But today's the day
I pray that we make it through
Make it through the fall
Make it through it all)
Kouta rub his chin as he was thinking of a strategy. He know he won't think of a great plan like those of Yuuji's but he smirked as he thought of something that might get them out of the deadly situation.
"I'm not going to move closer to her. I'm going farther." he said walking outside.
'O-Oi~ Is he going to leave me here? You baka!' Aiko thought to herself. But then the other side of her mind talks back
'He's not leaving. He has a plan on his sleeve. I have trust in him'
(And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just wanna sit and stare at you)
Kouta ran outside the abandoned apartment and found the Health teacher, Ooshima-sensei
"Tsuchiya-kun? What are you doing outside in this late time in the night?" he removes the mask on his face and answered his question
"Same goes for you, sensei, but please, grant me the permission to summon. Aiko's in trouble" he said looking to his left trying to hide the blush
The teacher chuckled and nodded as he set out a summoning field.
Kouta bowed his thanks and put the mask on again "Summon!" then his shoukanjuu appeared on his shoulder. He whispered his plan to his shoukanjuu then it nodded.
While he, go to distract the kidnappers.
"Oi~! Idiotic Kidnappers!" he shouted by the door that made Bourbon run to him and want to hurt him.
"I know leaving the hostage is stupid but I want to make this story more fun and let the prince save his damsel in distress" Vermouth told Aiko
"I think I am not the one with connections to Kudou Shinichi, but you also." Aiko smirked
Vermouth puts her index finger on her own lips "A secret makes a woman, woman. Right?" then she followed Bourbon who was having a match with Kouta. He tried to punch the ninja but he just slides to the side and constantly avoids all of his shots. On the other hand, his shoukanjuu, using its kodachi, it sliced the ropes on Aiko's hand and feet. She patted its head as thanks and stood up summoning her shoukanjuu
[Note: I don't know if their shoukanjuus can really hit people but let's just assume that in this story, they can :P]
Vermouth stayed out of the trouble by sitting on a chair by the corner smoking
Kouta smiled as he saw Aiko with her and his shoukanjuu. The shokanjuus started hitting Bourbon, they may be small, but the attacks they made weakens Bourbon.
After a few moments of fighting, Bourbon fell to his knees due to exhaustion.
"Battle End! Kouta-Aiko Pair wins!" Ooshima-sensei joked and the barrier disappeared and so does the shoukanjuus
"Run!" Aiko said grabbing Kouta's hand and runs away from her kidnappers.
Narrator: Tick... 8:00pm
Both Aiko and Kouta were chasing after their breaths when they reached the gate of Aiko's house.
"I think I should go now" Kouta said turning around and right before he could start walking, Aiko grabbed his arm
"Mu- *pants* Muttsulini-kun, is that true?" Aiko asked, referring to what he said a while ago
"Is what true?" Kouta frowned as he was confused on what she was talking about
"What you said! Baka~" she exclaimed but when she said 'baka' her tone became more gentle
"Don't be so conceited Kudou Aiko" Kouta mumbled and started walking again
"Ah- Eto~ Kouta-kun! Never mind that" She called him by his first name for the first time which made him look around again
"Nani?" He asked as she wasn't saying anything. She was looking down to the ground, her hair covering her eyes. He was worried so he walked to her and asked 'What's wrong'
She looked to the slight- shorter boy than her. And smiled even though there're tears rolling down her tears
She can't manage to say anything and fell to her knees on the ground, Kouta was alarmed by this that he knelt in front of her and hugged her, trying his best to comfort her.
(And I don't want a conversation
I just wanna cry in front of you
I don't wanna talk about it
'Cause I'm in love with you)
"I-I'm sorry on whatever I've done unknown to myself!" Kouta apologized or so is it.
Aiko just shook her head showing him that he had nothing to say sorry about. A little later on, she held her head to face Kouta.
Kouta wiped the tears off her face and looked to his right "Y-You're more better when you're on your old self, the tease."
Aiko smiled at him and muttered "Ba~ka" Kouta faced her again with a (=,=) face but what surprised him is when Aiko leaned to him and the next thing he knew...
He was nosebleeding
"Mattaku~ You really know how to make a cute moment ruined don't you?" Aiko stood up and placed her hand on her waist. And since she haven't get to change from her school uniform, and Kouta still kneeling below her, well, you know, her skirt and ...
Nosebleed! Kouta was thrown by the force of his nosebleed and he held his thumb up "I... Have... No... Regrets" then he fell unconscious
Narrator: Tock... 9:56pm
Aiko had explained to Shinichi what happened...
"That's why I told you to be more careful. Since the organization is after me, anyone related to me will be their target also. Starting with my relatives!" Conan explained through phone
"Hai hai! I know~" does that make even my boyfriend *giggles* was also in danger?" Aiko was smiling like crazy everytime she remembers what happened before this call
"What boyfriend? The Pervert Ninja?" Conan asked, grinning
"How'd you know!?"
"A kind soul told me"
"Who's the effin kind soul!?"
"*chuckles* the ultimate idiot"
"Yoshii-kun?! Don't tell me he knew already that we're dating?"
"Iie, he just told me that you like Kouta-kun and vice versa"
"Why were you asking everything about my life anyway?"
"Because I'm a detective and your my second cousin"
"Tss~ This conversation's leading to nowhere! I'm hanging up! Bye!"
"Your boyfriend's just calling you"
"No he's not! I'm going to sleep!" then Aiko flipped her cellphone shut
She then rested on her bed, looking at the boy beside her, remembering the best moment of her life that happened on this same room too.
*flashback*
"Muttsulini-kun! Hang on there!" Aiko then dragged, yes, DRAGGED, Kouta's body into her house
"Who's that?" her mom asked
"My friend, later!" Aiko said carrying him to her room then threw him to her bed. She get some face towel and she wet it with water. She carefully put it on Kouta's forehead. She get her electric fan and put it beside him.
She sat on her bed looking at how peaceful he looks, and cute, when he's sleeping.
She slowly leaned to him until...
"Aiko~"
This made Aiko sit up straight only to notice he was talking in his sleep. She smiled and said "I thought you caught me there" to the sleeping Kouta
"*sigh* I'm going to make this fast" she quickly leaned, again, and this time, their lips met.
When she let go, Kouta opened his eyes and smiled at her.
(You're the only one
I'd be with 'til the end
When I come undone
You bring me back again
Back under the stars
Back into your arms)
"I-It's not like what it looks like! It's not like I like you or anything! Ano baka!" she denied with a bright red blush on her cheeks
Kouta grinned "Isn't that normal for boyfriends and girlfriends to do?"
"I am your-?" Aiko was cut out with Kouta immediately answering the question right before it was finished
"You don't believe me? Or do you want me to ask you first? Will you be my girlfriend, Aiko?" Kouta asked continuosly
"Yes, of course!" Aiko said then hugged Kouta
*end flashback*
Question: "What does APTX stand for?"
Mizuki Himeji's Answer: Apoptoxin
Teacher's Comment: Correct as always Himeji-san, as the name implies, it involves the activation of apoptosis: the mechanism by which cells kill themselves.
Akihisa Yoshii's answer: (My answer is killed by APTX and it left no trace on the paper!)
