Chapter 1: The Lurking Demon

"I am glad that everything is over.", Shiho murmured to Shinichi and Ran. Shiho and Ran were becoming to be close friends. "Yeah. I am glad that no one was harmed.", Ran told her back with a warm smile. "You know, you really look like my onee- chan.", Shiho hugged Ran tightly and started to cry. Sonoko came, too, understanding Shiho's situation, she gave Shiho and Ran a big embrace. "Remember, we are all friends now, okay?", Sonoko murmured while fondling Shiho's soft hair, giving her a warm smile.

Shinichi looked at them from afar, smiling.

Shiho entered in Teitan High for good. Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko's relationship with all of them did not change a bit. They were still good friends in spite of everything that happened. They would sometimes play childish games with them, too. The four would give them free ice cream treats every afternoon. Everything was flowing smoothly. Everyone was safe, and happy. Everyone had a happy life for the past 5 days. Everything just happened smoothly that not a scratch harmed them. At last, Shiho had a normal and happy high school life.

Only 5 days had past and yet it seemed that all of them forgot about the awful things that had occurred in their lives~ like Shinichi being Conan, of Ran, almost loosing Shinichi, and Akemi's death. All those horrible memories in the past were replaced with only 5 happy- filled days. Everything was forgotten.

They did not think about the past, but, they look forward to a shining future. But, little did they know, that demons are still lurking in their midst. All were happy and they thought that IT WAS REALLY OVER, however, little do they know that in their midst, a lurking demon whispered,

"The game is not yet over! In fact, it has just about to begin!! It's not over, Kudo! It's not yet over, Sherry!"

"I know exactly how to make Shinichi Kudo suffer, psychologically!", Gin murmured to himself mockingly with an impious smirk. "Tell the organization…..the plan.", he then whispered to Vodka. "Bu…but, aniki, h….how do we escape?", Vodka curiously asked. "Hmmm!", he then chucked sardonically.

"Sherry thinks that she can get rid of her former family that easily, well, well, now, she is truly mistaken! She can never get rid of us, even after we die, her horrible, scorching memories that she had with us will still retain in her soul until she reaches her journey to hell. She might be safe; however, I assure you that she will never feel safe, mentally, that is!! Oh, we'll get out of here, real soon!!!"

Then, surprisingly, they finally escaped.

Stop! Read the AUTHOR'S NOTE first!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Maybe you are wondering again, how on earth did the organization escape the tight security system of the Tokyo Prison? Well, that is another mystery that is up to you if you would like to ask me or not. As I said, it's my writing style so that the story will have some mysterious effect, not just plain and boring. Instead of writing every single detail, I remain some things simply as a mystery.

Now, you all may continue reading!

Enjoy!!
