"My husband murdered me in my sleep. All for the insurance money."

"The police think it was an accident, but he drove me off the road an purpose!"

"Mines is a tale of Romance, Passion, and a Murder most foul"

Conan resisted the urge to bang his head on his desk. And he thought it was bad when they were attacking him? Ever since word got out that the new halfa was a detective, every ghost whose death was an unsolved murder was hounding him 24/7.

"Mr. Edogawa, is there a problem?" asked the teacher. She knew the boy was bright, bordering on brilliant, but his apparent inattentivness in class really got on her nerves.

"No sensei." After all, what could he say? 'I see dead people'?

Not if his demi-life depended on it!

Ayumi looked over at him, concerned.

"Ghosts?" she mouthed. Conan nodded. "Need any help?" He shook his head. Not much she could do.

"Mr. Edogawa, if you are quite finished flirtting with your girlfriend…"

Conan swore ghostly revenge…

"I never got to tell her I love her!"

…as soon as the current problem was dealt with.

At recess Conan went into an unused classroom.

"It was the drugs, man, totally not my fault."

"ENOUGH!" screamed Conan, transforming into his ghostly state, his eyes glowing in anger.

"I am not your personaly messanger boy. I will not deliver messages to loved ones, they wouldn't believe me anyway. I will help solve murders and misunderstandings regarding death. However you can ask me after school, in the evening, and on weekends. NOT during class. NOT during meals. And NOT when I'm trying to sleep. Is that perfectly clear?"

"An what'er you gonna do about?" sneered a spitefull looking old woman. "We'll keep at ye till ye give in."

Shinichi reached into his backpack and pulled out a familiar looking thermos. The hag screamed as she was sucked inside.

"Now I repeat, is everything clear?"

S$

Mitsuhiko ran up to his friend. "Ayumi told me the ghosts were bugging you. I've got some extra ofuda from that temple spirit if you want?"

Conan shook his head, unconsciously edging away from the ofuda. "That's okay." He said, waving the thermos. "You just have to know how to talk to them."

S$$S

The-world-needs-peace: Dr.Agasa parents, that is a scary thought (almost as scary as him and the fenton's becoming pen pals) And yah, TIM & PD get updates together.

YumeTakato: If only it were that simple, huh?

SN 1987A: Ummmm, because she was in the pic? This story was based off a fanart Yutaya did. (click the fanart button on my info page to see it.) And Conan doesn't get a suit because he can transform.
