Conan POV.

The waiting was driving me crazy! Or is it more the questions that have been buzzing around in my head all this time? Who was this woman? How did she know the organisation? What was her connection to the organisation? Why did Gin shoot her? Why is Kid helping her and what is their relationship? But the most important question for me was how did she know my true identity?

To get answers to all these questions she has to make it and survive. Unfortunately, the injury did not look harmless and she had lost a lot of blood. She was in critical condition and I really hoped that she would survive the operation. Maybe she could help us with her knowledge of the organisation and then I could finally get my old body back and this life as a primary school boy would finally be history. I saw that Akai also looked very thoughtful and went to him.

"Can the FBI do some research on her so we know who we're dealing with?" I asked him after making sure no one was listening. "I've already informed James about everything, but so far he hasn't been able to find out anything. Since we don't know her real name, it will take some time before we get any useful information," he answered. Yes, he was right. Would Kid know more about her? But even if he does, I doubt he would give us this information so easily.

As a side note, I heard Ran asking her questions to Shinichi/Kid again and he seemed to be extremely annoyed. "Hold your breath, you're annoying. Sora is undergoing emergency surgery. We don't know how she is or if she will pull through and all you care about is why I can't get to school or anything else." Kid yelled at Ran and everyone looked at him in shock. Ran got tears in her eyes. She wasn't used to me, Shinichi, talking to her like that. Sure, at that moment it wasn't me yelling at her, but for her it was me, because she didn't know that behind this Shinichi in reality Kaito Kid was hiding. Sonoko yelled at him. I didn't really notice what she was yelling at him because I was concentrating on Kid and following him.

He ran to a nurse to ask about Sora but got no information. "Pull yourself together and don't yell at Ran like that when you pretend to be me," I hissed at him. "Leave me alone. She's really getting on my nerves. Right now there are really more important things." he said and went to get a coffee. In a way I could understand why he reacted like that towards Ran. He was really worried about Sora and yes, Ran's questions about school and everything else were more than inappropriate at the moment, but it didn't give him the right to react like that towards her, especially since he was still pretending to be me.

After about half an hour, Inspector Megure arrived, followed by Sato, Takagi and Shiratori. "Oh Kudo, it's good to see you again. We were informed by the hospital that someone had been shot and you brought that person here," Megure explained to me, well more like Kid. We were then asked what exactly had happened and where. Sato and Takagi were then sent to the scene to collect any evidence. Just as Megure was about to ask something again the door of the surgery area opened and the doctor came out. "How is Sora?" Kid immediately wanted to know.

"Good evening, I'm Inspector Megure from the First Division, can you please tell me about Ms Kiriyama's condition." the commissioner spoke up. "The operation went well ..." but the doctor could not go on because he was interrupted. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but I must ask you, Dr Vinsmoke, not to give out any information about Sora Kiriyama," said a man in a suit. "Megure from here on we will take over the investigation of this case. Everything you have gathered so far will be in my office by noon tomorrow and from now on you are forbidden to investigate this case," the man in the suit then turned to the Inspector, who didn't seem very enthusiastic about it. But since Megure immediately agreed to all this, the guy must be higher up than he was.

Now the guy turned to the doctor. "I'm sorry to have interrupted you just now, Dr. Vinsmoke. My name is Kazami and I'm with the Public Security Bureau in charge of Ms Kiriyama's case," he introduced himself. Why are the PSB taking over this case? Who is this woman? Akai also seemed to wonder. But now we had a problem. As long as the PSB were in charge of Sora, we wouldn't get information so easily. With Megure, that would have been easy. "Information about Ms Kiriyama's state of health may only be given to officers of the Public Security Bureau responsible for the case and to her fiancé, Shinichi Kudo," this Kazami then explained further.

Wait, had he just said that I was supposed to be her fiancé? My gaze went straight to Ran, who looked shocked at Shinichi or rather Kid. He didn't seem to be bothered by this statement. "Can I please know how Sora is doing?" he asked without being at least a little confused about the statement of this Kazami. What was going on here, please? This Sora and I were not engaged! I don't even know her! Why would someone from the PSB claim that she was my fiancée? "Can we please go to a room where we can talk undisturbed, Dr. Vinsmoke?" this Kazami asked and then left with the doctor and Kid.

Ran was totally upset and Sonoko tried to calm her down but it didn't really work. "What's this about the engagement?" asked Akai after a while. "I have no idea. I don't know this Sora. Why those from the PSB would say that, I'd like to know." I answered him. Kogoro decided to leave the hospital with Ran, Sonoko and Masumi. Akai and I stayed behind because we wanted to intercept Kid and possibly get some information. Fortunately, Kogoro was easily persuaded to leave me at the hospital, saying that the police would surely have questions for us since we found Sora, since Subaru was still with me. Now we had to wait until the Kid showed up again. I just hoped that he wouldn't slip away somehow.

Ran POV

Engaged? Shinichi and this woman are supposed to be engaged? That can't be. That can't be true. Is she the reason why he stopped coming to school? Is it possible that Shinichi has been with her all the time and wasn't stuck in some case like he always said on the phone? Is that why it was so difficult for me to reach him, because he wanted to be alone with her? Questions upon questions had been in my mind ever since that man from the police said that Shinichi, my Shinichi, was supposed to be the fiancé of this Sora.

Shinichi didn't deny that statement either. The only thing he was interested in was how Sora was doing. He was very worried, that was obvious. Were they really a couple? It would at least explain why he was so cold towards me all the time and why he yelled at me like that before, I didn't know him like that. I didn't know what to believe anymore. Shinichi didn't seem to care how I felt. He just disappeared with the doctor and the officer without even looking at me again or saying anything. She was more important to him than I was.

I could no longer hold back my tears. By now we were in the car and driving home. Only Subaru and Conan stayed at the hospital because of their statements. I didn't like leaving Conan there but at least Subaru was with him so nothing could happen to the little one. I just couldn't bear to stay there any longer, I had to leave. Sonoko was upset the whole way how Shinichi could treat me like that and my father didn't like it either. Masumi tried to cheer me up by saying that maybe the engagement was just a misunderstanding, but it didn't work.
