Okay, this is the sadiest thing I have EVER done... I just realized I had this chapter finished and I never put it up... -_-... I admit that is really sad. Anyway, enjoy this and the next chapter!

Tsukiko sat in her hospital room, looking through the photo album Yukiko had left her with that morning. It seemed that she, along with Yusaku and Conan, came earlier that morning. Kaito had left, saying he needed to go home for something and that he would be back later that day.

Tsukiko was alone in her room now, waiting for Yukiko to return with the other two. They had left to talk with the Doctor earlier, most likely talking about her progress in getting her memory back.

Tsukiko turned through the pages and looked at the pictures from the other day-her holding the trophy and then her and Shinichi together. She knew so little about her life, she felt like she was putting a burden on everyone for not remembering. She couldn't stand not knowing herself-it was like she was starting life all over again.

Tsukiko skipped through the pages and came to a page where it showed a picture of her-just her. She sat on a brick wall and was smiling up to the camera. She wore a black shirt with a black skirt and her boots-the ones with chains.

Tsukiko couldn't remember anything about the picture; where it was taken, who was taking it. But she did know it was recent, since she looked the same as she did now.

Tsukiko turned the page and got to a page with many different photos. One was her throwing down a suspect-which she laughed at. Another was her with, what looked like, the police. There was another with her and Heiji laughing at Conan who had a cat on his head. He looked rather angry, but Tsukiko couldn't tell if it was because her and Heiji were laughing at him, or because a cat was on top of his head.

She continued looking over the page, seeing pictures of when she was younger. Then there were those of the recent years.

Tsukiko found herself laughing again when she found a picture of herself and Shinichi. It seemed it was either his birthday or her's, but both of them looked like they had cake thrown in their faces. Both of them were glaring at each other, but it was to funny.

Tsukiko turned the page and found herself looking at news paper article. She looked to the picture and it showed a thief in white. But Tsukiko didn't know anyone in white like that, so who was this? Tsukiko read the article and found her name mentioned several times in the article-even a quote from herself. "I will catch Kid at any cost…" she muttered. She couldn't help lifting an eyebrow. Kid? Was that who this was?

Tsukiko turned the page again and was surprised when a piece of paper fell out of the album. Tsukiko picked up the paper and unfolded it-only to find the writing was smudged and unreadable. Must have been Aunt Yukiko's… she thought. She set it on the bed side table-not even noticing the clear writing on the other side.

She had taken her attention and put it back on the album. She looked at the new page and noticed it was filled with her and the others. One was her holding a camera and pointing at two detectives-one a woman with black hair and another a man. She was laughing at them, and it looked like the woman was yelling at her. The picture next to it was Tsukiko getting yelled at by that Detective.

She looked to another picture. It was her biting a pen, while looking at a crime scene. She couldn't tell who was taking it, but she did see the two detective she saw in the other picture in this one. She also noticed Conan sitting next to her. She also saw an old man standing behind her, angry.

Tsukiko looked to another picture and saw she-and Conan-had been scolded by the old man behind her. Tsukiko couldn't help but laugh at the photo.

She soon turned the page another time, and came back to the photo with her and Kaito together with the gentlemen behind her. If I remember correctly, she thought. That man is Kuroba Toichi… Kaito's father… She ran her finger over the photo and found herself smiling. It was the second real memory she had, and it meant a lot.

Tsukiko turned the page and was surprised to find a family portrait on the page. Under the photo it said, "In remembrance of Toyoshima Maiko and Toyoshima Yoshiro." Tsukiko focused on the picture more then the words. She saw her, as a small girl, being held by the women in the photo. She looked just like Tsukiko now, just older.

The man next to her had a young boy sitting in his lap, and she knew that this was family portrait of her family.

For some reason Tsukiko felt tears running down her face and before she could wipe them away, the door opened.

"Tsukiko-chan!" Yukiko said walking in with a smile. She held a large teddy bear in her arms and had Conan with Yusaku behind her-sighing. "I brought you-" Yukiko stopped when she saw Tsukiko crying. She soon rushed over, throwing the bear at Conan-who almost toppled over from it.

"What's wrong, dear?" Yukiko said, closing the book and putting it on the chair.

Tsukiko laughed and wiped her tears. "I don't know…" she muttered. "I just began crying…"

Yukiko hugged Tsukiko tightly. "Did you remember anything?"

Tsukiko shook her head and push herself away from Yukiko. "No, not really…" she said, smiling. She was better, but she still didn't know why she was crying. "Although…there is something I want to ask."

"What would that be?" Yukiko said, smiling brightly.

Tsukiko was very serious at the moment, but she wasn't sad. "Are my parents dead?" she said.

Yukiko was speechless and her smile was gone. She looked back to Yusaku, who just looked away from her. "Yusaku!" she whined.

"You can't keep it from her, Dear…" he said, smiling. "You might as well just tell her."

Yukiko groaned and looked back at Tsukiko. "Yes, they are…" she said, giving a sympathetic gaze. But Tsukiko didn't seem that shocked with the news. "They passed when you were about six, Tsukiko-chan…"

Tsukiko sighed and looked at her hands. "No wonder…" she muttered.

Yukiko clapped her hands together and smiled. "On another note!" she said. "I bought you a gift!" Yukiko couldn't stand seeing the girl sad any longer.

Tsukiko looked up, a bit curious as to what she was talking about. Soon she saw Yukiko pick up Conan and handed her him-but he was holding a large bear which practically hid him from view.

"It's your favorite!" Yukiko said, still smiling.

Tsukiko giggled and took the bear in her hands, then Yukiko made Conan sit in her lap-no matter how much he struggled.

Soon there was a knock on the door. "Hello?" a woman's voice said. Everyone looked over to the door to see Detectives Sato, Takagi, and Chiba. But Tsukiko didn't know who they were.

"Detective Sato, Detective Takagi, Detective Chiba," Conan said, "why are you guys here?"

Sato walked in, holding another banquet of flowers, and the two gentlemen followed her.

"We heard what happened from Inspector Megure…" Sato said, smiling. "He ordered us to come and see how everything was going. He said he would stop by later-along with most of the others."

Tsukiko tilted her head. "You're the two I saw in the photo…" she muttered, pointing to Takagi and Sato.

Sato looked at her and smiled again, placing her hands on her hips. "Well," she said, "we come by and it turns out you remember something."

"Actually," Tsukiko said, smiling, "I really don't remember who you are…"

Sato's smile faded, but soon it came back-and rather quickly. "In that case!" Sato held out her hand for Tsukiko to shake. "I'm Sato Miwako, Detective for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police."

Takagi waved a hand and smiled sheepishly. "Takagi Wataru, also a Detective for the police."

Chiba waved and smiled brightly. "Detective Chiba, at your service, Toyoshima-san!"

Tsukiko smiled and laughed. "It's nice to meet you all!" she said.

Sato and Takagi gave a sad smile, they couldn't believe her memory of them was actually gone. They all had such good times, and she was actually quite a blessing to them.

"Oh!" Tsukiko said. "I have a question…" She pointed at Sato and smiled. "What is with the picture of you in a wedding dress and flipping Detective Takagi over on his back…?"

Sato was speechless, but soon she began laughing-remembering the circumstance. "Well," she said, "it's a long story actually."

"And one we were never going to mention again…" Takagi muttered, giving a sigh.

Chiba could only laugh at this. He could remember that incident.

Sato looked around, almost looking over every corner of the room. "Where's that kid from yesterday…?" she said.

Yukiko lifted her eyebrows. "Who, Detective?"

Tsukiko tilted her head in curiosity.

"The one that looks like Kudo Shinichi…" Sato said. She crossed her arms and pondered. "What was his name…?"

"You mean Kuroba-kun?" Tsukiko said.

Everyone looked at her, even Conan. But Yukiko, Conan, and Yusaku seemed the most shocked at what she just said.

"Yeah!" she said, pounding her fist against her palm. "That's him!"

Yukiko looked at her. "But earlier you called him by his first name, Tsukiko-chan…" she said, giving a worried expression. "What's with the sudden change?"

Tsukiko smiled at Yukiko as she folded her hands in her lap. "I guess I said it out a habit…" she said, laughing shyly. "I remember that I always called him Kuroba-kun…"

Yukiko sighed in disappointment. "And I actually thought we made some progress…"

Tsukiko tilted her head again, her Aunt was really strange. Tsukiko blinked blankly at Yukiko, that is until Yusaku cleared his throat. Tsukiko looked up to him and saw him smiling at her.

"Well," he said, "at least you remember something. I'd say that's some progress."

Yukiko frowned at her husband. "You don't understand at all…" she muttered, which just caused a shocked Yusaku to blink at her.

Conan looked up and whispered, "Will you get off the whole thing already…?"

Yukiko pinched Conan in the back and smiled at him-but a very evil smile. "Did you say something, Conan-kun?" she said.

Conan smiled and laughed. "Not at all!"

Everyone laughed at the comment.

Soon Sato, Takagi, and Chiba left-leaving Tsukiko alone with the others once again. But they weren't alone for long, soon someone knocked on the door and everyone looked up to see a woman with glasses. Eri was who it was, with Heiji, Ran, Sonoko, the Detective Boys, and Kogoro with her.

"Eri?" Yukiko said, shocked to see her old friend. She set down Conan and stood to welcome her friend-along with the others.

Tsukiko was completely confused, she didn't remember these people-well, she did meet Heiji, but that was it. She didn't know the relationship she had with these people, but it must have been something or they wouldn't be there.

"Hey, Toyoshima!" Heiji said, walking over to her.

"Hello, Hattori-kun," Tsukiko said smiling. "What brings you here…?"

"He wanted to tag along…" Kogoro said, rolling his eyes.

"Tsukiko-nii-chan!" Ayumi said, running over with the others. "Is it true you don't remember us?"

Tsukiko looked down at the children and gave a smile. "You're the Detective Boys, correct?" she asked.

Ayumi's expression brightened and so did Mitsuhiko's and Genta's. She at least remembered what their group was called.

Tsukiko looked up with a smile. "And you're Mouri Kogoro the famous detective, right?" she asked.

Tsukiko looked to Eri with the same smile. "And you're a lawyer."

Yukiko looked at Tsukiko brightly, along with most of the others. "You remember?" they all said.

Tsukiko shrugged. "Actually," she said, "it's just easy deduction." Tsukiko pointed to the badge that Genta was wearing. "The badge on this boy says Detective Boys." Tsukiko pointed to Eri. "And this woman looks kind of like a lawyer, mostly from her posture and such." Tsukiko pointed to Kogoro. "And you…well… I saw you in the paper this morning."

Ran and Sonoko smiled. "So you don't remember us, Tsukiko-chan?"

Tsukiko gave a weak smile. "I'm…" Tsukiko was about to say she couldn't, but that would have been a lie. She could remember there faces, but no name came into the picture. She knew what relationship she had with the two girls, she knew them from somewhere. But she just couldn't get a name. "You're friends with Shinichi…right?" Rin said slowly.

Ran and Sonoko smiled. "I guess you can say we are," Sonoko said. "But we're more your friends then his."

"Oh…" Tsukiko said. She placed her hand on her chin, she was trying so hard to remember a name. But soon she gave up. "I'm sorry, but I don't remember any of your names."

Ran and Sonoko introduced themselves. After that, Eri finally introduced herself. "It's been awhile, Tsukiko-chan," she said smiling.

Tsukiko smiled. She couldn't remember what relationship she held with Eri, but she did remember with Kogoro. Saying as Kogoro was a detective, she probably had worked with him many times. She could possibly remember a few times-which meant her memory was improving rapidly.

Tsukiko looked down when she felt a tug on her sleeve. She then saw the smiling faces of the three children. "Yes, Ayumi?" Tsukiko said, not even realizing she said the girls name.

The kid's jaws dropped. "You remembered!" the children said cheerfully.

Tsukiko looked a bit shocked, but she smiled. "I guess so…" Tsukiko looked to her lap. She remembered many things, but how? And they were so confusing, she needed to ask questions.

"Aunt Yukiko?" Tsukiko said. "Can I ask you a question?"

Yukiko looked at her a bit curious. "Of course…"

Eri looked to Ran, Sonoko, and Kogoro-along with the children. "I think we should give them some space…" she said. They nodded and walked out.

Heiji got up and so did Conan-beginning to walk to the door. But soon they both got stopped by Tsukiko saying, "You two. Stay."

They looked over their shoulders and saw Tsukiko's glare. They knew she remembered something that she was angry about.

"What's wrong, Tsukiko-nii-chan?" Conan asked, giving a nervous smile.

"Cut the crap you selfish brat…" she said bitterly. "I know what you did."

Conan gave a sheepish smile. "I don't know…"

Tsukiko smacked him on the head, which surprised people-but they didn't care whether she did it or not. "You're Shinichi and you didn't even bother telling me!"

"Well," Conan yelled back, "don't you remember the first time I told you?"

"No," Tsukiko said, "and that's kind of the problem here! I CAN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING!"

Heiji crossed his arms as she watched the two relatives bicker about what had just been said. He was trying his best not to laugh to much about it, but it seemed it didn't matter since Yukiko was laughing.

"Well," Heiji said, grinning, "your memory is improving rapidly…"

"What else can you remember, Tsukiko-chan?" Yusaku said with one of his smiles.

Tsukiko thought for a moment. "I remember when Shinichi told me how he got to be Conan…" she muttered. "I also remember a few cases that I solved and I remember a few things from everyone… But I still don't remember how I ended up here and why I'm so fixated on this thief called Kaitou Kid…"

"Isn't that easy?" Heiji and Conan said. "You're-"

Yukiko covered the boys' mouths and smiled. "Seems to be going well," she said. "We should go and let you get your sleep, Tsukiko-chan. You might be able to remember something else." Yukiko then dragged Yusaku and the two boys out of the room.

Tsukiko tilted her head, wondering what was wrong here. But she couldn't figure it out. She had many more puzzling questions, but thought she should stop worrying about them-hoping her gaining memory could help figure out those answers. And it has, but not as fast as she hoped. But for now she decided that rest was the best thing for her.

Later that night, Kaito had returned-only to find the girl asleep peacefully. He had to laugh when he first saw her, but he also laughed at his thought from earlier. He had thought that popping in through the window as Kaitou Kid would help improve her memory. But then he got the idea that she might have a heart attack instead. So he choose to come as Kaito, just normal Kaito.

Kaito sat in the chair next to Tsukiko's bed, wondering what he was supposed to do now. Soon a paper on the nightstand caught his attention. He reached over and picked it up-finding the paper had something very interesting written on it.

"From Kid…" he muttered. Kaito looked all over the paper, but was surprised when he found some of the note was smudged and ripped from old age. But he still tried his best in reading it.

He could make out very little from what was written in the unfolded piece of paper. And from what he got, it didn't make much since-well, to some who didn't know his father. Kaito knew his father loved puzzles and so did Kaitou Kid. He knew this was a puzzle, but the question was: How do you solve it?

Kaito had managed to translate one word from the puzzle and knew this was his clue to finding the Toyoshima Family Heirloom. Kaito just couldn't believe that after all this time something finally turned up, he was beginning to loose faith.

Kaito quickly hide the paper in his pocket when he heard Tsukiko shift around. She turned over in her sleep and smiled. She then said, "Kaito…"

Kaito's face lit up and he was a bit surprised. But mostly he was a bit embarrassed by her word. But he could tell she really enjoyed the dream she was having. Maybe there's a chance after all… Is what he thought before…

"Don't be such an idiot…" she muttered again. "…but then maybe it's suitable for someone like you…"

Kaito's smiled faded, but his face was still red. He rolled his eyes and looked at the sleeping Tsukiko rather angrily. Then again, he thought, maybe not… But even though he thought that, he couldn't help but chuckle at her using his name in such a familiar way.

Sorry for the late update people. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Thanks for reading. Remember to leave a comment.
