Chapter 6 Delivery!

"I know what I want for a middle name! I want my name to be Irene Adalina, but I want to go by Addy. But what about a last name?" Ran said, trying to come up with a last name. "How about Miyabe, after Miyuki Miyabe?"

"That sounds good Shinichi! Thank you!" Ran raced over to Shinichi and gave him a giant hug. Shinichi was blushing a cherry red, having no idea what to say back. But then something clouded his mind, something was bothering him, but he didn't know what to remember. It then popped up in his mind as clear as day. "Oi Ran, did you really tell your dad that you were coming with me to be my assistant?"

"Oh no, I didn't! Is my bowtie the same voice as before?"

"Yeah, I suggest calling him before your dad finds out from Sonoko, then I'd really be in deep." The phone rang, and then a voice came on, "Mouri Detective Agency, how may I help you?"

"Oh dad, this is Ran. I was just calling to let you know that I will not be coming home for a little while. I'm going to be travelling with Shinichi as his assistant. Conan is going to be spending the night with Dr. Agasa, so you'll have the whole house to yourself. Okay dad love you goodb"

"Not so fast young lady!" Kogoro said, realizing what Ran was doing, "You're not going to be with that detective freak all by yourself! He has ulterior motives, and he'll take advantage of you."

"Don't worry dad, there's a small chance that he'll do that, because I will get short with him if he does. That would be very childish of him to do that to me." Shinichi was glaring at Ran, he knew what she was up to. She was getting back at him for not telling her that he was Conan in the first place. She was using all of these little puns so that her had would have no idea, but Shinichi would squirm. "Fine, but I do not like it. If I hear one complaint about him from you, young lady, I will have his head."

"Alright dad, thank you. I gotta go, bye!" Ran hung up the phone before her dad could say anything. Shinichi was sitting there, arms crossed. He was glaring at her with squinted eyes. "Haha Ran, that was really funny." His voice was dripping with sarcasm. "Whatsoever would you be talking about, Shinichi-kun?"

"Don't play dumb with me!" Shinichi said, pointing his finger at her, "You were using all of those little puns to get back at me for not telling you that Edogawa Conan was me!"

"I'm glad that you figured it out tantei-san. Now that is over with, what am I supposed to do? I can't go to school looking like this!"

"That's why there is a thing called elementary school," Heiji chimed in, "It's hell, but it's your only option at this point." Ran had 'why me' written all over her face. Shinichi laughed at her, and Ran punched him in the face. Ran and Shinichi both let out a yelp. Ran started to rub her hand, while Shinichi was rubbing the spot he got hit. Heiji started laughing, which earned a glare from both of them. Heiji decided to alter attention onto Haibara. "Hey Ai, how's the antidote coming along?"

"I'm very close, but I need a few more ingredients. If I knew what they were, I would have gotten Kudo-kun to go shopping for them." They nodded their heads, knowing that the end is almost near. The doorbell rang, and everyone froze. They were all wondering, 'Who was this person? Were they just like them?' Dr. Agasa opened up the door to ease everyone's tension. Everyone looked toward the door, with apprehension. "Hello, how may I help you?"

"Your 3 meat pizza is ready," the pizza man said, causing everyone to fall out of their chair. Heiji started to walk over to the door, "Your total is $12.20," Heiji gave him the money, and then took the pizza. Everyone just stared at him, out of shock. "Goodbye," the pizza man said, as he bolted out of the door. He obviously did not want to get mixed up in whatever was going on inside the house. Dr. Agasa closed the door. Everyone just glared at him, including the doctor. "WHAT?" Heiji exclaimed, confused because all of the attention was on him. "Please tell me this is a joke." Shinichi said. "What did I do that was so wrong?"

"You know everyone's tensions are high, but you still ordered a pizza to put everyone on edge!" Ran exclaimed. "I think ya all need to chill out! It's just a damn pizza, it's not like I'm inviting the men in black over here to have dinner! A guy has to eat! Now if ya don't mind, I'm going to eat my large 3 meat pizza all by myself. "This caused everyone except Ai to run over there, begging for a piece. "Ai, are you sure you don't want a piece?" The doctor asked. Everyone froze, looking at Ai. They didn't know why she didn't want a slice of the most amazing pizza in the world. "It's alright. I'm going into the lab to pull an all-nighter. I don't have time for food. Do not disturb me." She said, as she went into her lab. Everyone then started to fight over pizza. After everyone was finished, everyone decided their plans for the night. Ran was to stay here with Dr. Agasa and Ai, while Shinichi and Heiji were going to Mouri's place. "Hey, are the men in black sure I'm dead, or are they going to check just in case?" This caused Shinichi to stop right outside of the door. "Oh dammit, I completely forgot! Whenever you got drugged with the pill, they check to make sure that you were dead."

"Dad wasn't at home all day, he was on cases. Do you think he's alright?"

"Sure he is, Ran. Don't worry about it!" Shinichi said, not wanting her to worry. Ran ran over to Shinichi and gave him a hug. This in turn caused Shinichi to blush. "Thank you Shinichi, for being a good friend." She said, still not letting go of Shinichi. Heiji decided to have some fun with this. "Ran and Shinichi sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" He sang, laughing his butt off along with it. Ran and Shinichi decided to strike back, "Kazuha and Heiji sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Heiji in a baby carriage!" They both started laughing really hard. Ran and Shinichi were holding on to each other so they wouldn't fall onto the floor. Heiji did not look at all pleased. "Hey, you did it to us! You brought it upon yourself!" Shinichi said. Shinichi and Heiji said goodnight to Ran and the doctor. They didn't want to disturb Ai. They headed back to Ran's house. "Hey Hattori, it's starting to get difficult around Ran. I want to tell her how I feel, but I don't want to do it in this body. And as each moment passes, the desire to tell her grows."

"Kudou, don't worry about it. When the time's right, you'll know when to tell her. Right now though, I need to call Kazuha so she doesn't go to Nagasaki and think that I am still there. Can I borrow some change? I used it all on that pizza." This caused Shinichi to do a face palm. "Here, take it."

"Thanks Kudou, you're the best!" Heiji exclaimed. He rang Kazuha's phone, and on the first ring it picked up. "Hello, Toyama household."

"Hey Kazuha, it's me!"

"You aho! You know how much I have worried about you?"

"I'm sorry. I just got really involved in some cases in Nagasaki."

"Where are you now?"

"Kyoto."

"Oh that's great Heiji! We're in Kyoto right now for the festival! Where are you?" Holy crap was the only thing running through Heiji's mind. He held his hand over the receiver, and said, "Kudou help me! She's in Kyoto too."

"Why don't you just tell her that you are leaving Kyoto suddenly because you have gotten on another case? Don't tell her where though. Then she'll try to come to deliberately find you."

"Thanks Kudou, that will do." He took his hand off of the receiver, "Oi Kazuha, I have to leave, I have another case. I'm sorry I couldn't come see you."

"Alright, I understand." Kazuha said on the verge of crying, "You're a detective, and I guess that's more important than seeing me, you aho!"

"Wait Kazuha, I never said that!"

"But you were thinking it, I gotta go Heiji. I'll see you later." She hung up before he could say anything. "Kudou, what do I do?"

"Just let her calm down." There was silence between the two detectives all the way back into the detective agency. When they got there, the first thing they did was search for Kogoro. They found him watching tv, drunk as a skunk, screaming out Yoko Okino's lyrics. Heiji had already headed off to bed. He then called up Ran. "Oi Ran."

"Hey Shinichi, what's going on?"

"Did Kazuha try calling you?"

"Yeah, she did. What did Heiji do to her? The poor girl was crying her eyes out." Shinichi explained the situation to Ran, not leaving out a single detail. "I understand where both of them are coming from," she said, "If I was Kazuha I would worry like crazy, just liked I worried about you. But if I was Heiji, I would keep her out of the loop, for her sake. I didn't understand why you did that toward me at first Shinichi, but I do now." Shinichi's face turned a cherry red. "Oh that's good. You know what to do to help her get through this, Ran."

"Oh no Shinichi! I just remembered that Sonoko was a witness to me getting hurt! What do I do? She could get killed!"

"Relax Ran. I called up a few friends to take care of it, Sonoko was still alive, but she is protected right now."

"Wait, since when?"

"Since I went to my house, I called a friend up, and she took care of everything."

"Oh, that would make sense. Get some sleep, tomorrow's going to be a big day for you."

"Okay Shinichi, good night."

"Goodnight Ran, Love you."

"Wait, what?"

"Nothing, goodnight!" He hung up the phone before Ran could ask any more questions. He let it slip! He let the one emotion that he promised himself he wouldn't slip. He didn't want it to come out of Conan's voice, but Shinichi's. He went up to his room, and saw that Heiji was way past sleeping. He crawled into bed, letting all of the worries of today go, just like oil on goose feathers.
