Omi wakes up long before Conan who's still knocked out from pain meds, he looks around the room, nothing interesting he seemed to be all alone though. Except for another boy about his age sleeping in the bed next to him, he looked pale and in pain even as he slept, Omi feels bad for him but also has a strange feeling about him. He sits up and gazes around the room with his gray eyes, his head snaps back to the boy in the bed as he lets out a groan before sitting up, his deep blue eyes have tears threatening to fall.
"Nee-chan! Nii-san!" He calls in a scared childish tone looking around for Ran or Shinchi but no one answers causing him to whimper until Omi speaks up.
"Uh... excuse me, friend?" Conan looks over and gives a confused look.
"Are you here for liver failure?" He asks noting Omi's yellow skin.
"Uh... no... I just got really sick, I was born with a um skin discoloration." Omi pauses but when Conan doesn't say anything he decides to continue. "Why are you here?"
"Same reason as you... I hope it's not an epidemic." Conan gives a fake smile. "I'm sorry. Where's my manners? My name's Conan Edogawa. What's yours?"
"Omi. Have you lost something, what do these manners look like?" Conan gives a confused look.
"No... it's an expression." He lets out another groan before hugging himself. "M-my body hurts..." Omi watches as the lights above Conan's head flicker and the heart monitor shorts out, he lets out another groan. "This is the fifth time! How many of these broken monitors am I gonna get?!" Omi removes his IV, gets out of bed, and walks over to Conan. He touches Conan's shoulder but pulls back after getting shocked. "S-sorry... the doctor told everyone not to touch me." Omi grabs his arm and grunts but smiles. "Wha... what are you doing? Doesn't that hurt?!"
"Of course it does." He laughs. "But you look like you are in much more pain than me. Wh-what do you feel?"
"Like I'm being shocked... everywhere... but it's starting to feel better." Omi's smile widens.
"I knew it! I knew it! It is you!" Conan gives him a confused look.
"I'm... uh what?" Omi chuckles.
"Any time I get sick like that it is because a new dragon has revealed themselves!... or Dojo gave me food poisoning... but this time it really is a dragon!"
"Dra...gon?" He says getting even more confused.
"The dragon of e-electric..." He trails off as Conan removes Omi's hand from his arm.
"Thanks..." He says still holding Omi's hand. "I feel much better now. You..." Conan moves closer to Omi's face. "You have gray eyes... those are rare they're uh pretty." Omi blushes and pulls his hand away.
"U-umm... thank you, friend. Y-you have nice eyes... as well." He clears his throat before taking a step back. "But you need to come back to the temple with me and my friends! You will be most happy there, you will feel much better, and we can all finally defeat Chase Young!"
"Whoa wait... uh Omi what are you talking about?" He says getting confused once more.
"What I mean is that you will become a dragon! You will complete our team and we can defeat the forces of evil!" Conan looks at Omi even more confused.
Perhaps this kid is in here for a different illness than I had thought.
Just then an old man comes in that Conan doesn't recognize, he walks over to Omi and places his hand on the boys shoulder.
"Omi, I believe you are confusing him." He says in a gentle voice.
"Oh, I am most sorry, friend! I did not notice that you where found."
"Lost, young monk."
"That to!" He says with a smile, the old man helps Omi back to bed.
"I will go get the doctor to replace your IV." He looks at Conan still smiling. "And I will also get your care takers and let them know you are awake once more." He says before leaving.
"I am sorry for confusing you." Omi says looking over at Conan.
"It's alright." Conan sighs.
"You do not have to come with us if you do not wish to." Omi looks down at his lap, Conan can clearly hear disappointment in his voice.
"If Ran-neechan says yes... then I shall go with you to this... temple." Omi looks up in surprise.
"You will?! But I thought you didn't believe me!" Conan clears his throat.
"I never said that, it's just a hard pill to swallow." Omi looks confused.
"But... you did not swallow any pill." Conan smiles before letting out a chuckle.
"I like you... you're funny, but strong." Conan lies down and closes his eyes. "I want to be your friend... I want to help you fight. Although I don't really understand, I want to learn." He looks at Omi and flashes him a warm smile. "I want to fight by your side, Omi." Omi gets a wide grin as his friends, Master Fung, Ran, and Shinchi come in.
"We were worried about ya, partner." Clay says as the three of them rush to Omi's bed, they've seen him happy before but with a grin that big he'd have to be the richest man on Earth or hopped up on pain drugs.
"Yeah, you've been out for a couple days. Are you feeling any better?" Kimiko asks feeling his forehead, Omi blushes. "Your fever isn't gone but at least it's not boiling your brain." She says with a smile of relief.
"Yes, I feel much better now that we have found the dragon!" He exclaims looking at Conan who's talking with Ran and Shinchi.
"Are you feeling okay, Conan-kun?" Conan gives his guardian a tired smile.
"I feeling a lot better thanks to Omi, Ran-neechan." He looks over giving Omi a warm smile. "Nee-chan... Nii-san Omi wants me to go with him to his temple he said I can better there. I don't fully understand but... he needs me... they need me and if I want to get better I need them." He looks at Shinchi with a wide smile. "I want to build my own path, I want to have my own adventure... Shinchi-niichan... please. I want..." He places his hand on his head and lies down. "I want to..." His eyes begin to feel heavy to the point where he can't even force them to stay open, Conan passed out unable to fight exhaustion.
"Omi! Come on man wake up, we didn't even get to talk!" Raimundo says shaking the now sleeping Omi.
"Enough, Raimundo, quiet down." Master Fung turns to Ran and Shinchi. "Way don't we go out in the hallway and discuss young Conan staying at the temple?" The old man says with a smile.
A/N: Sorry that it's a little short, school started back up so I haven't had time to think up too many ideas for this. Don't worry I have the story line and everything planned out, so my updates my not be regular but I promise that I'll work on this during my free time.
