Declaimer: I don´t own Detective Conan
A/N: So, maybe of you don´t know, but I had to drink coffee recently... and you can say in the end of the day I was pretty out of it. XD So, I had this idea (it attacked me at night, when I was defenseless... ) Enjoy
As always, Female Shin-chan XD
It was a rule no one, not even her parents broke; as they knew the result would be disastrous. In Kudo Shinichi´s house there was always coffee, of the blackest and the strongest kind. And guess for who was it for? Considering that currently there were only two people living in that house, one of them completely hating and despising coffee, preferring the sweet chocolate cake… it could only be Shinichi.
"Kaito! Where is the coffee?" The raven-haired girl inquired, glaring irritated at the place where her favorite drink was supposed to be. It was only eight am, of Sunday, and yet the Detective was already up. Megure-keibu just called her, hopping she would help him with a rather difficult case. However, she never left the house without doing one thing: drink her coffee.
"Coffee?" A man dressed in a dark suit suddenly appeared in the kitchen, staring at her confused. "Don´t you remember? It ended yesterday…" Blinking surprised at her completely terrified face, Kaito frowned. He still wondered how his girlfriend of two years managed to drink that… That thing wasn´t sweet at all! Believe him; he tried…
"It… ended…?" She mumbled, allowing her body to fall down towards the floor completely in despair. But… how? She couldn't remember it ever happening… Last night she had walked towards the kitchen to drink her usual coffee, since she had a lot of university work to catch up… Nevertheless, now that she tried to remember what happened next, she just couldn't.
Sighing, Kaito quickly walked towards her with a smile, picking up the small framed detective, (she was small framed considering he was at least 20 centimeters taller than she was). "I will buy some when I come back from the show, so please endure until then."
The puppy eyes she gave her were too much, as he leaned closer and kissed his detective. How fortunate he was… Who would have thought Shinichi would chose him, considering she had more than half of the man population of both her old high school and university running after her… But now, and forever, she was his and only his.
Giggling slightly embarrassed when they parted, Shinichi eyed him warmly, before remembering that people were waiting for her. Sighing, she gave him a faint kiss on the cheek, running up the stairs to change clothes. After all, there was no way she could go visit the inspector wearing a cute blue nightdress…
Understanding the rush, Kaito sighed, left all alone in the room, trying to hide his blush. God, even after those two years he still was unable to calm down… "Good luck at your case!" Kaito yelled, already late for his own appointment. However, now that he thought about it, would she really be ok? The last time he refused to give her coffee… Well, lets say he still palled every time he remembered the punishment…
"You too!" The raven-haired beauty with sapphire eyes yelled back, changing clothes. If she remembered correctly, there was this amazing café under Ran´s house… "Maybe I should stop there…" There was no way she would be able to survive without coffee for a whole day! It was impossible, more than just improbable. "Yes, I will stop there."
Running down the stairs, Shinichi tried to hurry up. It was Sunday for goddess sake… and Kaito had only one performance that day. So maybe they could go on a date! Brightening even more at such possibility, she smiled as she went out. Only to frown annoyed.
Out-side; waiting in her red car, Sato and Takagi-keiji were waiting for her with serious faces. It only meant two things: first, it was better for her to forget the coffee for now… and that the case was tricky. "I wish there was coffee…"
The ride took less than ten minutes, as Sato quickly introduced the Uni student to the case. A man has been killed, a girl had been kidnapped, and the father of the girl was freaking out. The kidnappers hadn't called him yet with the ransom, but the inspector had been hoping to find the girl before they did. After all, that murder had to be related, as the murdered man was her protector.
"So…" Shinichi stared out of the window bored, or more like depressed. She really needed her coffee… "That girl is daughter of someone important, right? Are you planning on telling me, or is it confidential?"
"You guessed right. Her father is someone really especial, but lets call him X, ok? Megure-keibu wanted to fill you in to the details himself…" Frowning even more, Shinichi sighed. That day promised to be long… specially if she didn't get her coffee….
Five hours later, or more like an eternity later, Shinichi was near a break down. Why did the coffee in police station taste so… horrible? The murder was confusing, the suspects and related people didn´t say a thing relevant… and even worse, SHE STILL HADNT HER COFFEE! "I need my coffee…" The poor girl mumbled, her head resting on the cold surface of the table. Sato went to get the friend of the victim.
Whoever killed that man, he left no clues. For some reason, Shinichi felt like she was forgetting something, but her mind couldn´t gasp it. Taking out her phone, she noticed there was a message from Kaito. "I´m sorry…" It said "But it seems my performance was prolonged… until night. I´ll make up for it, I promise!"
Glaring at it, Shinichi wanted to kill someone. Was it really that hard to have a date? No, forget about the date… Even if she managed to solve the case quickly, there would be no coffee waiting for her at home! "Give me coffee…" She cried silently, smacking her head against the table a few more times.
"Sorry for the wait, Shinichi-chan." The older detective came back, a strange man following behind her. He seemed to be really uncomfortable… but then again, his friend just died. However, that didn't stop Shinichi from glaring at him, while wondering if he hadn't had coffee with him by some chance… A long shot, but she was desperate…
The interrogation only lasted a few moments, until she figured he knew more than he showed. "Ugata-san, was it? How about you tell us the truth already?" His eyes widen a little bit, and Sato smirked. That man didn´t know how to lie.
"I… I am telling you the truths!" Ugata still tried to lie, but Shinichi only glared at him. Damn, she wanted to drink coffee… Nothing ever went well when she didn't drink her morning coffee. Standing up suddenly, she asked Sato not to interfere.
Earlier, she brought some soccer balls with her to the room, hopping they would help her calm down. Now, however, they would be used for another purpose. Kicking one of them, it quickly flew by the man´s head, creating a rather big hole in the wall behind him.
The raven-haired girl quickly approached the man, her threatening glare even more threatening. "I will give you three seconds… you better start spilling out whatever you know, or else I will send one of my soccer balls against you." The man palled, looking at the hole near him. "They are usually reserved for criminals, but I can do you a special discount."
"You… you can´t! Police can't harm normal people!" The man yelled, and Shinichi just laughed evilly. The detective around her palled, wondering what was going on with the genius that day. She had been in a bad mood ever since she saw her… Did she have a fight with her boyfriend, again?
"Unluckily for you…" she mumbled, looking to his eyes. "I am not police. Now, you better say everything you know, so we can end this stupid case and I can have some damn coffee!" No, there was no way the girl was like that just because of coffee… "And again, unluckily for you, I have just the right amount of money to bail me out of jail, in case the detectives decide to arrest me for violence… Now, speak!"
Exiting the room, watching quietly as Shinichi run towards the Inspector to report what she had found, Sato sighed. The last time she was her like that many people were hurt, not physically of course, but mentally. And for some reason, when it came to that girl, it seemed to be a lot worse than physical harm.
Taking out her phone, aware there was only one person she could ask what was going on, as Sato didn´t know her boyfriend, she made the call. The person in question picked up right away, listening carefully to the detective´s question.
"Hm… did you kidnap; I mean took, her before she had her coffee? If you did, you better give her some black, sugarless coffee before she kills you all…" Hattori stated on the other side, ignoring his wife's of some months, Kazuha; confused stare. "Believe me, if she doesn't drink her morning coffee she will acts as if she was possessed… Actually, I have a theory. I believe she is indeed possessed, and only coffee can put whatever possessed her to sleep… Do you believe she hung me from the ceiling, with nothing but underwear in my own school, just because I refused to buy her coffee when she came to visit? Trust me, give her coffee, and everything will be alright…"
Speechless, Sato allowed the call to end, walking aimlessly towards nothing. Now that she thought about it, Shinichi had asked for coffee, and then yelled at them when it wasn't good enough… If what Hattori-kun said was true, and there was no reason not to believe it; she palled. They had no good coffee…
"Wataru, go buy some coffee." The man in front of her blinked a few times, but quickly took off as she gave him one glare. He had been married with her for too long now to know what it meant: you better do this, and do it fast. "Black and strong!" She added, as took off to search for Shinichi.
She found the girl in the interrogation room, staring at nothing as she waited for the suspect to arrive. Shinichi had figured everything out, and now was only waiting for the murder and kidnapper to arrive. He came fast, but refused to answer any questions. The clock was ticking, and the girl's mood was getting darker.
And at one point, things took the worse turn. "Shinichi-chan…" Sato mumbled, carefully approaching the enraged teen who glared at her. "That thing you are holding… is that a real gun?"
"I swear I will shot you!" Shinichi stated, pointing the gun at the suspect, while ignoring the detective. Everyone knew he was the one who kidnapped the little girl, and yet he refused to say where she was. "I won´t kill you, I´m too nice, but I can´t promise you will use your hand again…"
Sato palled even more, wishing Wataru would just hurry up. The detective was really getting out of control. "Damn, not only I still hadn't had my coffee, I won´t be able to go on a date… Talk, you worthless fool!" Closing her eyes, happy at least the girl had the good sense of removing the bullets beforehand and give them to Sato, the older woman just wished her husband would hurry up. She really didn't want to arrest Shinichi for assault… with a gun… and maybe soccer balls, if that round thing near the door was any sign.
Oh god, if only the time could go faster…
When Kaito returned, after being forced to give more performances than he should have had, he found Shinichi sitting in the library, happily reading a book with a huge mug of black coffee near her. Wondering where that came from, he got surprised she actually smiled at him."Today Sato and Takagi offered me black coffee… Apparently, Takagi´s mother always sends him some, but as none of them like it, they will give me every time I need it!" She stated, smiling even more. Blinking a few times, Kaito sweat dropped. Just what had happened that day from the detectives of the murder section to offer Shinichi coffee, and black coffee… For some reason, he felt like he didn't want to know.
