Chapter 9: The Confinement

"Y….Yeah! G..Gomenasai. G…G…Go…Gome…Gomenasai.", Conan muttered nervously. "I….I…I'll c…come w…with!" He exclaimed. The nurse hoarsely said, "Very well then, come with me! We are going to the Admitting Section to fill up your form of admission, okay?" Conan sighed to himself, "Here she goes with the OKAYS again!!! How annoying! Huh!" Conan said as he exhaled loudly.

"Ahem, what did you say???!!! Pardon me, boy?!!" the nurse suspiciously mocked. "Um…a…e…I….um….nothing….well, um….a….n….n…nothing. N….Nothing important r…really. Hehehehe!!" Conan sweetly muttered nervously. "Very well, let us not waste time, let's go!" the nurse gruffly remarked. Conan pulled the sheets that were covering her face, then, he whispered, "I'm sorry, Haibara. We'll talk later." Haibara looked up to him and gave him an apologetic smile, this time, without tears.

He, too, gave her that very smile. Then, when they noticed that the nurse was about to shout at them once again about "THE DRAMA", Haibara quickly pulled up her sheets, pretending to sleep, this time, not anymore covering her face, and, Conan, not ever wanting that old nurse to nag, just obediently followed her to the Admitting Section.

Conan, obediently following the nurse to the admitting section, was very much worried about Haibara's increasing fever. "Hang in there, Haibara.", he thought.

A VERY VERY long queue in the Admitting Section…………

How frustrating that was…………..

"NEXT!!!!", the nurse called out loud. "At last…..huh….." Conan eventually sighed in relief.

"And you are…?", the head nurse asked routinely, then sighed of boredom. "Um…um…boku wa Edogawa…..Edogawa Conan." Conan answered nervously. Holding a Patient's Chart Record Sheet and an expensive fountain pen, she asked, "Normally, we don't allow kids admitting patients alone with no adults; however, I hear that the patient is very ill and the case is critical; therefore, we couldn't possibly send you out, could we? We have to cure the patient. Now, boy, may I ask what the patient's name is?"

"Ha…Haibara. Haibara Ai." "Mmmm…..cute name, ne? Anyway, how old is she?" When Conan saw how she wrote the kanji 'Ai', he pointed out, "That's not how she writes 'Ai', ma'am." "Okay. How does she write it then?" "Um…like this……" Conan wrote the other way of writing the kanji 'Ai', but, it meant 'sorrow'.

"Ehh? Poor girl! Why would her parents name her in such a depressing kanji? Oh, and thank you for pointing out her correct name." "You're welcomed." Conan just smiled at her. "Shiho was the one who chose this name." He thought. "Agasa wanted it to be the kanji 'love' however……"

The nurse broke Conan's thoughts when she asked, "How old is she?" "She's eight years old, ma'am." Conan answered cheerfully. "And what is her birth date?", the head nurse smiled back. His heart pounded hard. He sweated. "Shimeta! Birth date….birth date….. DARN!!! How am I supposed to know? How will I answer…..wait….wait a second…… All the information that I told this nurse was fake, her real name is Miyano Shiho and she's really eighteen years old. So….so…what am I so worried about? I am such a fool! Hehe….. It means if I lie to them about her birth date…..they'll…..they'll never know….." Conan thought. "Um…a….it's May 4…yeah…that's right….May 4….um….2007- 8=….um….a…..May 4, 1998….ah…ah….I mean um….1999. Hehe…."

"What the heck? Why did I suddenly forget how to subtract numbers? Must be the stress…." Conan thought. "Something went wrong with me back then. It's like I had a mental block even in answering the easiest questions. Something's wrong with me." "What is her address?" "Oh, um, she lives in #22 of……."

"Wait a minute!! Wait a minute!! If I tell them her home address, in where she lives, the Black Organization might……..Ahhh!!!! I don't even want to think of the possibilities anymore!! I am pretty sure that the strange watch that Haibara is wearing is linked to the organization! So….so if I….oh shoot! Come to think of it, I think they already know her home address!!! Darn!!! What to do……" Conan suddenly thought deeply in his mind.

"Um, I mean at #22 of Murakami Street, Beika District, Tokyo." He finally came with a straight answer. "Well, I guess if we get killed now, it doesn't seem to matter now, does it?" Conan thought sadly. "Wait! What am I saying?! Am I in my right mind!? I should never give up, never!! I swear!" Conan thought angrily.

"Um, what is her telephone number?" The nurse asked politely. "She has two, actually. Um, it's 7421249281 and 747143011." Conan smiled at her. "What is your relationship with Ms. Haibara, Mr. Edogawa- kun?" The nurse asked friendlily. "Oh, um, she's my classmate and a… friend. She is also a distant relative of my auntie and uncle's old friend."

"Whoa!! That's a very confusing relationship!! Um, last question for now, what is her sickness?" The nurse spoke to him. Conan replied frankly, "She has high fever and she previously fainted." "Okay then! Thanks for answering the questions, kid! You may go! She will be at um….let's see….( the nurse is finding the room number in the patients' records files in the hospital computer )…..um…..a……okay!!! Here it is!! She will be admitted in Room 1278. That means the 12th floor, okay?" The nurse temporarily smiled, then went back to her stern look and shouted loudly, "NEXT!!!!"

Conan got up from the 'interrogation chair' and quickly ran towards the elevator. "Oh man!! Why does it have to be the 12th floor?? It would take long to get to there and go out down from there!!!" He thought as he ran while he released profuse sweating. He heavily panted for air. He pressed the elevator 'up' button restlessly and repeatedly. He was practically punching the button already.

"DARN!! Slow elevator!!" He was very impatient already. He knew he had to be with Haibara at all times, or else, something terrible might actually happen to her. He was desperate. He wanted to see her so badly. He wanted to run up the stairs as fast as possible rather than just to wait for the stupid elevator; however, he knew that he would be foolish if he had done that. He knew that taking the elevator was obviously faster no matter how fast he would've ran if he did. "I'd be a fool." Conan murmured.

Then, at last, the elevator opened! Conan was happy and relieved. He quickly entered the elevator without hesitation. He sighed. He pressed "12" floor on the elevator. But, the elevator kept on stopping at ever floor and bringing people out of the elevator, still, no one entered yet! He was mad already! He didn't know why, but, he suddenly
