Chapter 19

He heard something. It came from Ai's room. Conan ran toward her room.

"I'm scared. Onee-chan, please help me. Onee-chan, Onee-chan. I'm scared. Please help me, Kudo-kun.", Ai said something in her sleep.

"Haibara, Haibara, wake up Haibara.", Conan talked slowly to her.

Ai opened her eyes then she hugged him."Kudo-kun…", She cried.

"Do you have a nightmare? Just relax, I'm here, I'm here.", Conan tried to stop her crying.

-Living room-

"Haibara, drink this. It's hot chocolate, it'll make you relax.", Conan gave her mug to her.

"Arigatou.", she drank it.

"What happened? You look so scared.", asked Conan.

"Nighmare. I'm scared, Kudo-kun. I just can's stop thinking about them.", she said to him.

Conan hugged her. He pulled his pendant from his pajamas. He lifted it to her.

"Haibara, do you remember this? After I broke my promise 3 years after we were in America. I made an oath to protect you. This oath, this is something that I won't break. I gave you my life that time, to protect you from anything even with the cost of my life.", Conan said to her.

"Yes, of course. I'll never forget it.", she pulled her own pendant. It's almost same as Conan's although it has ruby in the middle.

"That night, I made that oath in the front of these pendants. These pendants are the witnesses of my oath….. And Haibara, you're not alone. You have those kids, Hakase, Okaasan, Otousan, and.. Me.", said Conan.

Then someone walked to the living room. They surprised the two of them.

"Ai-chan. Shin-chan's right. You're not alone anymore. You have us. We'll always help you.", said Yukiko. Yusaku stood behind her.

Ai hugged her then. She cried all of her tears to her chest.

"Arigatou, Yukiko-san.", said Ai.

"You're welcome.", said Yukiko.

"Ano, Yukiko-san.. Can I call you Okaasan?", she said that almost like whisper.

"Of course. I always consider you as my daughter. When Shin-chan told the plan ten years ago, I was very happy to have two children again. And do you know how long I've been waiting for you to call me, Okaasan? And you also can call Yusaku, otousan. Do you know he's worried when that accident happened.", she smiled.

Yusaku walked to her and patted her head.

"Ai-kun. You'll always be my daughter.", said Yusaku.

"Haibara, you're not alone, right? Everyone care about you. They like you. Don't tell me that you're alone anymore, will you?", Conan also smiled.

"Arigatou. Arigatou minna-san.", Ai swept her tears.

"Get rest. You must go to school. It's 1 a.m now. Sleep well, so you won't be tired.", said Yusaku.

"HAI.", said the two.

Then the two walked to their rooms.

"Anata, they look very good together, don't they?", said Yukiko while holding Yusaku's arm.

"Yeah. Now let's continue what we left, Yukiko.", said Yusaku.

"I'm looking forward to doing it.", she looked at him.

-Conan's room-

"Pheew. A long night. I'm happy now that Haibara has opened herself to Okaasan and Otousan.", He mumbled to himself.

He's gazing at the ceilings when someone knocked the door.

"Kudo-kun, Can I come in?", asked Ai.

"Yes. Just come in. it's not locked.", said Conan.

Then she went inside his room. Then she sat on the side of his bed. Conan didn't realize it before, that she's very beautiful with her pajamas.

"Kudo-kun, can I sleep here, with you?", asked Ai.

"Eehhhh.", he's surprised to hear that.

"I'm sorry. I'm just still scared. But if you don't let me to, I'll go back to my room.", said Ai.

"No. it's okay. You can sleep here.", answered Conan.

"Thank you.", said Ai.

They slept with their back faced each other. Conan's on the right and Ai's on the left.

"Kudo-kun.", said Ai.

"What is it?", he asked.

"Arigatou. For everything.", she said it.

"No. you always help Me too. I don't think I can be like today without you ", said Conan.

"Kudo-kun… Can I ask you something?", said Ai

"Everything for you.", Conan answered that.

"Can you call me with my name when we're alone?", she blushed.

"Of course, Shiho.", said Conan.

"Arigatou, Shinichi-kun", said Ai.
