A/N: I've been thinking for some kind of thing to add after the kidnapping case and well... I THANK CrimsonPrincess123 FOR THAT! THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME AN IDEA! I was actually gonna end the fanfic after Heiji and Conan talk but... I will continue writing the fanfic. AND THEN... after that case, I'll finish it. Don't worry, I still have another notice, BUT THAT WILL COME AT THE END OF THE LAST CHAPTER SO... tune in. Heheheheee 8D
Neyane: OMG! I completely forgot about that! Yes, you can translate it into French! Give me some credit will you? And when you do, I'll come and read it! I know french since I live in a half english half french area MAIS JE PEUX COMPRENDRE QUAND JE LIRE MON HISTOIRE EN FRANÇAIS...JE PENSE. (My french sucks. -_-)
CHAPTER 8: "YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE, YOU KNOW."
"Eh?"
Conan glanced upwards to find Ran staring down at him.
"It's okay, Shinichi. It's all over now. Ah-I mean Conan-kun." Ran said as she kneeled down to hug him. At that moment, Ushiro managed to grab the knife again, and was about to stab Ran's leg only to be stopped by Heiji, who took care of him with his shinai. He gave him a crooked grin which Conan returned weakly.
She called me... Shinichi.
"Conan-kun!"
"Edogawa-kun!"
"CONAN!" came the noises from the entrance.
"Huh?" Conan stared at the entrance as his vision grew more blurry. He saw Haibara, Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko rushing in followed by Professor Agasa, and Ai giving him a thumbs up sign.
Ran cut away the ropes binding Conan's wrist with the knife Ushiro dropped. She took off her jacket and gently pressed it to Conan's neck as she rested his head on her knee.
"Conan-kun! You're bleeding! Are you okay?" Ayumi said in her usual worried tone.
Takagi and Sato swarmed the building, followed by other police including Kogoro.
"Eh? Conan-kun?" Takagi stared at him as he called the ambulance.
What the hell is going on? Why are they all here?
"So... how exactly did you find this place?" Heiji turned to Ran and the others as he played with the shinai in his hand.
"I followed you. I knew something was up."
"And we followed Ran-neechan. Obviously." said Haibara.
"We followed the kids who were following Ran-san.." Takagi said.
"How are you Conan-kun? You look hurt and you're bleeding." Sato turned to him.
Conan sprang from Ran's knee rapidly and stood up, "Well actually, I feel alr-" but fell back onto Ran's arms, unconscious.
"How is he, doctor?" Kogoro asked.
"He's a really strong kid. He cracked two ribs, and bruised two. He'll be able to heal them in just a week. The cut on his neck isn't severe either, it's already healing and he won't have any scars. His wrists might take a week, though, for the marks to go away, but it's alright. So I must say, congratulations!"
"Can we see him?" Ran said in wonder.
"Sure. But he might not be awake."
Ran ran in leaving the Detective Boys, Kogoro, Professor Agasa and Heiji behind.
"Let's leave them some time, eh?" winked Heiji as he bend down to talk to the Detective Boys. They all nodded their head simultaneously.
"Conan-kun! I was so worried! You're okay, you'll be out here in just 1 week! And then we'll take a trip to Tropical Land!"
Ran sat down to the chair next to Conan's bed who had sat up. He had bandages around his chest and neck. He was also plugged to an IV.
"Okay Ran-neechan. I'm glad." he said in his usual child mode.
"But why did you follow Heiji-neechan?"
Ran smiled. "He looked kinda nervous and well... it's woman's intuition you know. I just knew there was something." She winked.
"Domo Arigato, Ran-neechan." he said.
"So... how's my little buddy?" Heiji came in.
"Conan-kun!" Ayumi ran in. "I'm so glad you're okay! Don't worry, Agasa-hakase said that he was going to make another badge for you." she leaned in and kissed Conan on the cheek who blushed immediately. Mitsuhiko and Genta gave him some dirty looks.
"I feel great. Arigato for everything. I owe you one." he said.
Heiji shook his head no. "No, you don't."
"Huh?"
"Can you guys leave us for a moment?" said Heiji. Ran and the Detective Boys left the room at once.
"What do you mean, Hattori?"
Heiji put on a serious face. "Don't you remember.. that you saved me from that lawyer?"
"Well.. yeah, but it's not the same thing."
"Oh, shut up, Kudo!" Heiji leaned in so that their noses were always touching. He grinned widely.
Conan put an annoyed face. "No, it wasn't the same thing. They didn't know I was going to come there and they'll underestimate a kid of course."
"Even though you're a kid here, inside you're definitely seventeen. Don't forget that."
"I don't. I won't. I can't."
"Your acting skills surprise me sometimes. You probably got them from your mother, didn't you?"
"Nani?"
"They're at Agasa-hakase's house."
"Oh. When did they come?" Conan asked.
"This morning. You should have seen your mom. She had this worried look on her face and she kept repeating "Aw, is my Shin-chan okay?" Shin-chan. Ahahaaa..."
"Oi, oi."
"Hey.. you're mind looks somewhere else. What is it?"
"She... she called me Shinichi."
"Kudo.. isn't it time you told her?" Heiji asked.
"I will. When I turn to Shinichi for good and defeat the Black Organization. At that time, everything will truly be over. Will you help me, Hattori?"
"Anytime, Kudo."
3 weeks later...
Conan woke up with the annoying sound of the alarm clock. He sat up changed and put on his glasses.
"Conan-kun! Guess what?" came Ran's voice from the kitchen.
How did she know? The noise of the alarm clock isn't even that loud. She shouldn't be able to hear it from the kitchen since the door's closed and I changed the alarm last night...
Did she come to check on me after I slept?
"Yes, Ran-neechan?" said Conan as he stepped in the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth.
"We're going to Tropical Land at 9! There's only 2 hours left! I told you we'd go when you'd get out of the hospital so there we are."
"I'll pass." said Kogoro from the front of the TV. "I have to watch Yoko-chan's show."
"Otou-san, that one came out last night and you already watched it and recorded it. So you're coming with us."
"But Ran-"
"Fine! We don't need you anyway! We're going to have so much fun! Isn't that right Conan-kun?" she said to Conan who shook his head.
Conan sighed. He stepped in to the living room and sat down on the couch. Life was good. He just had to get out of this body and it would be better than good. It would be perfect.
"Now Conan-kun, we'll first go on the Mystery Coaster and then we'll go on whatever you want. Okay?"
"Hai!"
Mystery Coaster first?
A/N: So here... I've decided to continue. CrimsonPrincess123 I really like your idea but if that ever happens, Ran will be around keeping an eye on Conan so I don't think Conan will be able to get away without being seen. I'm thinking about him using a bug to plant on one of the police officers. And then he could listen without anyone noticing anything suspicious. Hehee.. Next chapter soon.. Tune in and thank you all! Please review! ;D IT'S CASE TIME! TIME TO SOLVE SOME MYSTERIES BABEY!
