Chapter 4 Kill Me Now

Shinichi and Heiji woke up, both dreading going back to school. "Dude, can we just have a day off? I can't go back to that place called hell on earth."

"If we don't, then Ran will hurt us, for sure." As if on cue, Ran knocked on the door and said, "Conan, Rishou, you need to get ready for school!" They both groaned, and got dressed. "I don't have the energy to take a shower today." Conan said, he really wanted to sleep in, oh how that bed was calling him back there. But he had to ignore it. They walked out and noticed that Ran was walking out at the same time, in the same direction. Conan ran up to her and said, "Ran, I'm tired, can I have a piggy back ride?"

"You shouldn't have been up all night, but fine, just this once." Conan hopped onto her back, and then thought, 'this is one of the little perks I get for being a small child.' When he was in Rishou's line of vision, he stuck his tongue out at him, his face read 'Are you freakin' kidding me?' Conan smiled, and enjoyed his small ride to the school. Ran let him off, and said, "Okay you two, you are here. Sorry Rishou, I would have carried you, but then I couldn't go anywhere, maybe tomorrow. Oh, and you two?"

"Yes Ran?" Conan asked.

"You are to go to Dr. Agasa's house after school. I'm going to be hanging out with Serena for the rest of the afternoon, and dad has a huge meeting at the police department, don't come home because you will be locked out."

"Okay Ran, we understand." Rishou said, then turned around to head to school. "And I'll be there to pick you up from Dr. Agasa's house, I do not want you walking out there by yourself that late at night."

"Alrighty Ran! See ya lata!" Rishou shouted, and half-dragged Conan to the school. Ran smiled, and then was on her way to the high school. Rishou stopped for a moment and smirked. "What is so funny, Rishou?" He was tempted to call him Hattori, but was a little cautious, because he didn't know if the men in black were spying on him then. "You are so not tired, you wanted a piggy back ride because you wanted to be close to your woman." Conan's face flushed a cherry red, "No! No! No! Haha, you are so funny Rishou. You and your imagination!"

"What would have happened if I had asked her for a piggy back ride, huh?"

"I would murder you in cold blood, and hide the pieces so good that there would be no hope in finding you."

"Haha! Ya got me, man!" They then headed into the school. After the bell rang, Ms. Kimura then wrote the word haiku in capital letters on the board. "Okay class. Today we are going to learn Haiku. Is there anyone who knows how to write a haiku? No one, okay. I will explain it to you. Haiku is one of the most famous style of poetry in Japan. There are three lines in a haiku. The first line has five syllables, the second line seven, and the third line five again. Now, I will read you a haiku written by one of the first haiku writers, Basho Matsuo:

"An old silent pond...

A frog jumps into the pond,

splash! Silence again."

She said after she wrote it on the board. "Now, it may be difficult at first to figure out how to write it perfectly, but I will give you a perfect technique to show you how to make it so you know how many syllables you got in each line. You will clap your hands while saying the words, and every clap is one syllable, okay children. Let's try it!" She said enthusiastically. Heiji looked over at Shinichi, held his fingers in the shape of a gun to his head, and mouthed to him, ".Now." Shinichi was trying so hard not to laugh, he thought he was going to roll over on the floor. They got back to participating in the clapping. She said, "Alright class, you have from now, until 10:00, which will give you 30 minutes to write your poem, and after that, we will read them out loud. Conan looked over at Rishou's paper, and noticed that he had written something. He motioned for him to show the paper, and he did, and Conan wanted to fall out of his chair. It read:

I want to murder

The fat bitch that made up

This damn clapping shit. "Can't you write something the least bit appropriate?"

"Damn." He took it back, and began to write another haiku. Everyone read their poems out loud, and they were good. The teacher told Genta that he should write about eels in nature instead of eating them. The group went outside for recess, and Conan pulled Rishou to the side, "Hey, I know that haiku was to vent your anger out, but you got to be careful. If the teacher saw that, she'll know that you aren't a grade-school student, and then we'll have a real problem."

"I get cha dude, but I gotta have my fun. Come on, I know it made you laugh."

"I'll admit, I could barely contain myself. But be glad that only my eyes saw it."

"I bet Haibara would think it was hilarious."

"What would I think hilarious?" Haibara asked. Rishou showed her the haiku that he had made up during the clapping exercise. Her eyes got huge, and she started to giggle. She held onto one of the bars on the jungle gym so she wouldn't fall to the ground. Rishou smirked at Conan and said, "Dude, I told you so." They then went off to find Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi. Genta sat on one of the benches and sighed. "What's wrong Genta-kun?" Ayumi asked.

"Ms. Kimura didn't like my poem." Genta said. "Let me see it." Conan said, he grasped it and read what it said:

I like eel with soy

Sauce it is my favorite

My tummy says yum. "

"Genta, you did a good job, and got the syllable down pat. What she was saying was that you should have written it in nature, here, I'll show you:

The eel is swimming

Through the beautiful water

The water ripples. "See Genta, that is what she would have liked."

"Thanks Conan! Ms. Kimura said that she would give me full credit if I wrote another one!" He made a bee line to Ms. Kimura's room. "I'll only do it once, Genta! You can't expect me to do it every time you turn around!" They decided to play a game of who can climb up the jungle gym the fastest. After about five minutes, Ayumi made it to the top, and jumped up and down, forgetting that the jungle gym had a hole in the middle , and she fell through it. Conan was high enough, and he grabbed her hand, and used his feet to hold them both up. "Now Ayumi, you are going to have to swing until you get your feet through that hexagon, and pull yourself to the bars. You can do it!" She swung once, and she missed, and then she swung again. She made it. She pulled herself through and turned around so she could climb down. Now Shinichi didn't know how on Earth he had gotten himself into this position. He was hanging upside down with his feet on the outside of the hexagon. He was begging the gods to get someone to help him. Heiji held his hands and said, "Aight, Conan, let go with your feet, and swing yourself towards me, I'll pull you out (A/N: Do not try this at home!) Conan did so, and he flew out, and Rishou caught him. "See dude, I got ya! See nothing happened!" Conan smiled appreciatively. The school day finally ended, and Conan, Heiji, and Ai headed over to Agasa's house. "Hey Professor!" Conan exclaimed, while entering the house. "Oh Hi Shinichi! Hi everyone! How was school today?"

"Heiji wrote a very interesting haiku." Shinichi said, smiling. "Let me see it, Heiji." Heiji glared daggers at Shinichi, while Shinichi laughed. He read through it and said, "Wow, I didn't know that you had such a way with words, Heiji. You wrote this in school?"

"Yes I did. While Ms. Kimura taught the little kids that you should clap your hands for EVERY SINGLE SYLLABLE! So afterwards the children CLAPPED for EVERY SINGLE SYLLABLE… I was surprised that I had not lost it."

"That is very good, Rishou, you are adjusting to being a grade school child again."

"Is every day like this, Kudou, because if it is, I am going to make your life a living hell."

"Ok, HATTORI! We get it." Shinichi said. Heiji was just pissed off at the situation that he had gotten into, so naturally, he was going to vent on him, being a detective and all. He let him say what he needed to say. Because if he didn't let it out now, who knows what poor child will be next to him when he blows. Heiji wanted to watch horror movies so he can make fun of the 'idiots' he so called them for getting killed for 'not realizing they were in a horror movie.' Shinichi decided that it was his way of being a teenager dealing with this situation. It had only been a few days for poor Rishou to sink in everything. After they were done watching the movie, which lasted for 3 hours long. Dr. Agasa needed someone to go and buy some things that Ai needed for the antidote, and since it was common place over the counter type of medicine, and other utensils. Dr. Agasa sent Shinichi out to get the materials, while Ai and Heiji stayed at his house. It had been an hour later, and Shinichi was still shopping for the supplies. The door bell rang, and he thought it was Shinichi bringing home the supplies, he opened the door, but there, standing in the door way, was a girl with brown hair that reached mid-back, with over-sized clothes. 'Oh, boy!" Dr. Agasa thought. "Hello, kind child, what can I do for you?"

"Doctor, you got to help me, it was awful! They hit me, and they shrunk me. Do you even recognize me?"

"I can't put my mind on it."

"It's me doctor! It's Ran!" (A/N: I would have stopped here, but since I'm in a good mood, I have decided to go on a little further, just for my fans ) "Mori Ran?" The doctor gasped, first it was Shinichi, then Shiho, then Heiji, and now Ran? What was the Black Organization doing? At this rate, the whole town of Beika were going to become elementary school kids. "Come in Ran, we need to talk."

"Oh, is Ran here? Dang, Conan isn't here he should be here soon. Wait, where is she?" Dr. Agasa stepped out of the way, and there, standing in the room, was a girl who looked like an elementary school kid as well. "Please tell me this is some trick." Ran didn't know what to think, why did Rishou have to see this, maybe she shouldn't have come here. "It's okay, Ran, Rishou and Ai are just like you."

"Wha?" Ran said, not able to comprehend just what exactly is going on. "The girl sitting behind the computer's real name is Miyano Shiho, she created the drug that shrunk you, but don't worry, she is along the way to create an antidote. And this boy here, Fukuzawa Rishou, is really Hattori Heiji."

"Wait, don't tell me… Edogawa Conan is Kudo Shinichi, right?" She hoped to God that they were joking. "In a nutshell." Heiji said, smirking at the situation. "What do I do? I don't know what to do?"

"Tell us what happened, Ran."

"Okay it started like this: Sonoko and Ran met up with each other after school, and decided to go the the mall to find some cute clothing. They first went into Hollister, and tried on different clothing. Ran brought a cute blue and white polka dotted dress that reached her mid thigh, with one inch straps that crossed in an x shape. Serena bought an olive green t-shirt that said Hollister in white writing and had a pink bird on the front and pink so-cal shorts that was a little bit above her palm. They then walked around, and Sonoko wanted to flirt with some guys, but that didn't go very well. They decided to go to Cinemark and watch the movie Eclipse. While they were done with that, they decided to go into a Starbucks that was nearby, Ran decided to get a tall Double Chocolaty Chip, and Sonoko got a Vanilla Bean tall. They were drinking the rest of their drinks. "You know that chocolate gives you endorphins, which makes you feel in love, right, Sonoko?"

"Oh, talking about love, have you seen your husband, Shinichi, recently?"

"No. He called a couple of days ago, he wanted to make sure that I was safe."

"Aww… how sweet of him."

"I got the endorphin fact from Shinichi, he told me that as a random fact one day."

"Aww… how cute!" Sonoko said. "I'm shocked, Ran."

"Why, Sonoko?"

"I called Shinichi your husband, and you didn't blush, or deny it."

"Sonoko, he's not my husband, you know that."

"I hope someday I find my Edward."Sonoko said dreamily. Ran giggled. Sonoko was known for being a hopeless romantic, and wanted to be in love just to be in love. "Don't worry about it, you will, Sonoko, I'm sure of it."

"This comes from the girl that says that she hasn't found hers yet, but it is very clear to everyone else that she found hers in first grade. So I have to believe you."

"Aww… thanks for the compliment… hey!" Sonoko giggled, and ran passed an ally. "Hey Sonoko, wait up!" Ran said. She ran for her. Suddenly, Ran was pulled into an allyway. "Ran-chan? Ran-chan!" Sonoko shouted, looking around for her best friend. Ran looked up, with fear in her eyes. There was a man, holding her down with his left foot, and his right hand. The one man grabbed her foot so there was no way of escaping. She knew she could get raped in this alleyway, and no one could do anything about it. They took a red and white looking pill and forced her mouth open. They made her swallow it, and poured water down her throat so it would go down. "Your little husband suffered the same fate as you, you will die!" The man with silver hair said, and they ran away laughing. As soon as they left, she felt pain going all over her body. 'Why is this happening? Am I really going to die?' "Ran! Ran!" Sonoko had finally found her, and she wondered why Ran was twitching as though she had been forced with a drug. Ran could not answer for she was in too much pain. Everything hurt, from her head to her toes. She soon passed out, for the pain was too much. The last thing she remembered was Sonoko yelling, "I'm going to go find help! You need to stay here!" When she woke up, she thought she had died, but then she looked around. She was in the exact same spot where she got drugged. She got up and started running for Sonoko so she could let her know that she didn't need an ambulance. She couldn't find her, so she ran immediately to her room. When she got there, she was weirded out. 'Why can I barely reach the doorknob?' She twisted it, and then went to the mirror. She was in the body of a grade school girl. She let out the loudest scream that she could muster. Kogoro bolted up the stairs to see what was wrong. 'Hey, you brat? What do you think you are doing?' He yelled at her. She grabbed some of her clothes so she could change. "It's me, father, it's me, Ran!"

"Don't lie to me!"he yelled, he took her out, and threw her down the stairs. She landed with an oof on her bottom. At least she got some clothes. She ran to Shinichi's house, hoping that he was there. She could not even open the door to the house. She punched the gate, and screamed, 'ouch!' She tnen ran to Dr. Agasa's house, hoping to get the doctor to believe her.

"And here I am," Ran said, "shrunk and in the body of a child. She looked over to Heiji, who decided to go over to Ai's desk. He went up to her ear and whispered, "I betcha 10 bucks that Kudo is going to flip his shit when he finds out what had happened to Ran, and is going to attempt to kill every single BO member in existence."

"Hattori, I do believe that the detective has some self control over this situation. 10 bucks says that he'll be pissed off about it, but want to make sure that Ran is okay." Ran and Agasa looked over at them, curious of what they were talking about. "Ran?"

"Yes, Ai?"

"You need a hair cut, your hair is too long."

"Oh, right."

"Come over here." She directed towards the sink." Ran sat down and leaned her head back. "What scent do you want? Coconut, pear, or pink coral flower?" Ai asked seriously. "Coconut, please." Ai nodded. "Hey, where did you learn to cut hair?" Heiji asked, weirded out by this. "I had to do something with my time. When my sister was alive, she did all the work, and they had no need for me…yet. So I took my time cutting their hair, and damn, I did a good job. Ai said, while washing out Ran's hair. She sat Ran down in a chair, and asked her, "How short do you want it?"

"To my shoulders." Ai nodded and proceeded to cut her hair. She made sure every detail was correct, that every strand coordinated with the strand next to it. Then she dried up Ran's hair, and showed her what it looked like. "I love it! Thank you so much, Ai!" She hugged her, and then went into the bathroom to get dressed in some green pajamas. "Hey, Ran?"

"Yes, Heiji."

"I have to show you this cool dance." Okay, he taught her a weird dance where she had her hands going straight up, palms facing her, and the next move, she brought her hands down medially to her chest, and her knees bent towards each other. Some of the moves consisted of jumps, and ball changes, and one of them was where she was walking diagonally with one hand out, and the other leg out. He then turned on John Legend's "Green Light," just to be goof balls. When they ended, they noticed the door opening, and Agasa ran toward the door, to prepare this person for this…particular situation.
