AN: Sorry for the missed update. Blame FF.N, my Document Manager shut me out for a few days.

"Ultraman!"
"Astroboy!"
"Ultraman!"
"Astroboy!"

"Boys." muttered Ayumi, rolling her eyes at Genta and Mitsuhiko.

Kids thought Conan rolling his eyes at the world in general.

"Hey Conan, what was that?" Ayumi asked.

"What was what?"

"That blue stuff that came out of your mouth?"

"What blue..." Conan was interrupted by a strange blue mist that appeared on his breath.

Great, I'm still not used to this whole 'halfa' thing. Let's see, which power did Danny say this was?

Oh. Shit.

"Hey guys, I'm not feeling to well, see ya tommarrow." Conan said quickly, taking off.

"He sure moves fast for someone who's not feeling well." observed Mitsuhiko.

"Who cares. ULTRAMAN!"

"ASTROBOY!"

S$

"So, trying to spare the other whelps by keeping the fight away from them, eh."

"What do you want, Skulker!" Conan asked heatedly. He'd not forgiven this ghost for what he'd done to Ran.

"To finish my hunt!" The metalic ghost grinned. "Once I accept a hunt I always follow through. And this time the ghost boy isn't here to save you."

"He doesn't have to be." What's that expression Danny uses? Oh yeah, "Going Ghost."

As a wave of power flowed through him, Shinichi took a moment to appreciate the fact that he could become his teenage self whenever he wanted without going through the pain of an apotoxin transformation.

It would have been nicer if he didn't have strange hair and eye color, lack a pulse and body heat, or dress like he was color blind.

C'est la guerre.

Skulker's jaw dropped. "You're...since when...?"

Shinichi smirked. True he hadn't mastered most of the powers Danny had, barely any in fact, but the increased strength and speed was nice. Add to that the facts that he grown up with Ran Mori as a best friend and that Skulker simply hadn't come armed for halfa, this did not bode well for Vlad's lackey.

The battle was short but brutal. Rather than fire off bolts of ectoplasm like Danny did, Shinichi encased his arms and legs in the stuff, adding to his punching and kicking power. Skulker never had a chance.

"I concede defeat today" he declared, "But I will return! Besides, you have something else to worry about." he said, vanishing

"What did he mean by that?" Shinichi wondered, turning back into Conan. Then he turned around Oh...

"Um...How long have you guys been there?"

"Since the 'Going Ghost' thing" answered Mitsuhiko, still looking awed.

"That was the most awesomest thing ever!" squeed Ayumi. Genta just nodded.

Conan laughed nervously. "So... can you guys keep a secret?"

S$$S

AN: Eh, always said if any found him out it would be the kids.

Inuconan : Glad you like. And if you have something post it, I wanna read it too!

YELLOWCARDFMAFANS: I love Shinichi. Remember in DP-verse being a ghost has a slightly different conotation than usually. And being a halfa's much better.

Firefly4000: Thanks for the review, and TIM in the abreiviation for The Impossible Murder, m'friend
