Quote: "Memory... is the diary that we all carry about with us." -Oscar Wilde

I thought this fit the chapter a bit better then anything else.

Tsukiko smiled, she thought she did well saying as how she hadn't gotten her memory fully back. She had solved a complete case within a day, she was surely surprised.

"Huh?" Heiji and the others said. Was it really possible that she solve the case?

"I said," Tsukiko repeated, "I solved the case."

Heiji and Conan crossed their arms, pondered. "Okay," Heiji said, "care to explain…?"

Tsukiko reached down and opened the door that she just uncovered. There everyone saw stairs, leading to a dark underground room.

"The house was locked, right?" Tsukiko asked.

Conan nodded.

"Well," Tsukiko motioned to the stairs, "the killer fled underground and went out the back. The back would be easy to lock saying as how it's just pad locked."

"So," Heiji said, grinning, "who's the killer?"

Tsukiko smiled brightly. "No one!"

Everyone's expressions went blank. Maybe she hadn't figure it out all the way.

Tsukiko pointed to the back, where a cliff was. "I remember seeing someone down below on that ledge. The killer, probably in heist, he slipped and fell down the hill to his death. So, really, there is no one to arrest."

Heiji and Conan looked at each other, a bit surprised. Even Kaito was a bit surprised by Tsukiko's deduction. Although, there were holes in her logic, but Heiji and Conan would figure the rest out from there.

Heiji and Conan stated that they would investigate the case while Tsukiko left and tried getting her memory back. But Tsukiko was reluctant and stayed there. She was sure that if she stayed her memory would return. So Heiji and Conan left to go look at the cliff, leaving Kaito to keep an eye on Tsukiko.

Tsukiko looked down to the dark room standing at her feet. Her curiosity was killing her. She wanted to know what was down there. So, she choose to take her steps down the stairs into the darkness.

"T-Toyoshima!" Kaito said.

Tsukiko stopped walking and looked back to see Kaito rather frantic. "If you're worried," she held out her hand, "then why not come with?" Tsukiko smiled and Kaito couldn't help but take her hand and follow her down.

Tsukiko and Kaito go to the bottom and Tsukiko let him go. Kaito felt rather disappointed, but knew she was comfortable since she didn't remember him much.

Tsukiko walked forward, trying to see through the darkness. But not much was visible for her. She could tell the place hadn't been touched since the incident and she saw foot prints in the dust. Some belonged to children and one looked like her shoe.

Tsukiko put a hand to her head, it was throbbing. She couldn't stand the stench and her head just wouldn't stop hurting.

"Toyoshima-san?" Kaito said, noticing Tsukiko's pain.

Tsukiko glanced up at Kaito and tried smiling. "I'm fine…" she muttered. She then looked away, but her head just hurt more with the sudden movement.

"This isn't right…" her voice rang through her head.

"What isn't right, Tsukiko-nee-san?" another voice rang, she knew the voice-it belonged to one of the children. Ayumi.

Kaito rested a hand on Tsukiko's shoulder. "Maybe you should sit…" he said.

"No…" Tsukiko said, shaking her head. "I don't-" Tsukiko winced at the loud noise in her memory and didn't realize that she had fallen.

"What's isn't right, Tsukiko-nee-chan?" Ayumi asked as the children finished walking down the steps.

Tsukiko was looking around, her eyes narrow. She shined the flashlight on a few bottles that were on the floor. A smell was in the air, bleach.

"We best get out of here…" Ai said. "The place is unstable and the smell of bleach is practically all over this place…"

Tsukiko covered her mouth, as did everyone. "So," she said, "the body was killed here, then dumped somewhere else…" Tsukiko looked to the ground. "Saying as how the body was found already…that means the body below the cliff is…"

"Tsukiko!" Tsukiko was suddenly jumped out of her thoughts when she heard the creaking of floor boards above.

Tsukiko quickly turned around. "Get out of here!" she shouted.

Everyone rushed for the door. Tsukiko was about to get out, but noticed Ayumi was lagging behind. Tsukiko rushed over and gave Ayumi a push through the door, and then Tsukiko saw nothing but black.

Tsukiko was still in darkness, but images kept filling the blackness. Memories. She knew everything. She remembered everything. But there were some things that she hadn't noticed until then. The resemblance, why hadn't she seen it before? There was something not right with them.

The things Tsukiko was remembering couldn't have been right. From those things, the only thing she could get was that-

"Tsukiko!" a voice rang out.

Tsukiko opened her eyes and was surprised to see Kaito above her, holding her. Tsukiko quickly sat up, still a bit shocked.

"What happened, Kuroba-kun…?" Tsukiko said shaking her head.

"You collapsed," Kaito said, bluntly.

Tsukiko stood to her feet with Kaito's help. She jumped at first when Kaito touched her. Once she was standing, she shrugged him off. She couldn't handle her thoughts right now.

"I remember…" Tsukiko muttered.

Kaito lifted an eyebrow, not really hearing her. "What?"

Tsukiko walked forward and up the stairs. "I remember everything…" she said, more clearly.

Kaito's eyes widened and he smiled. But Tsukiko wasn't smiling, she was rather scared. What was she going to do now that she knew this? Confront him and make see if it was true? No… she wouldn't do that. She couldn't. But what if it was true, would that mean all her feelings were lies? Her love for him was a lie?

Tsukiko stuck her hands in her pockets, making sure no one could see her shaking.

Kaito and Tsukiko reached the car and Tsukiko explained that she had regained her memory to everyone. She was then tackled by Yukiko, who was crying her eyes out screaming "SHE REMEBERS!". But Heiji and Conan simply told her they were happy to have her back.

Tsukiko was happy that she could remember, but that unnerving feeling still laid in the pit of her chest. She couldn't stand it. Her heart felt like it had broken ever since she figured out her feelings. She still couldn't believe that he held that deep a meaning in her life.

On the way home, everyone was silent. Heiji and Conan were pondering to themselves; Yusaku driving while Yukiko pouted because she didn't get to drive; and Kaito and Tsukiko feeling very uncomfortable. But Kaito wasn't left with nothing to do. He had been trying to figure out that piece of paper he had found, and so far he had solved some of it. But he still needed pieces of it-which was difficult to apprehend.

Everyone had arrived at the house, the Kudo residence, but no one stepped inside. Tsukiko said she would walk home, since she remembered the way and it wasn't that far. Yukiko was reluctant about it, yelling at Heiji and Conan to go with her. But Kaito spoke up saying he would take her.

Yukiko was now as happy as she could be and Yusaku understood why.

Kaito was waiting at the gate, while Tsukiko said her goodbyes to the others. But before she was able to leave, Yusaku had spoken.

"Tsukiko," he said, "is everything alright?"

Tsukiko looked over her shoulder and saw him giving her his famous deduction expression-which Shinichi inherited no doubt.

Tsukiko gave a weak smile. "Yeah," she said, "I'm perfectly fine."

Yukiko crossed her arms. "There's no need to hide anything, Tsukiko-chan…" she said. "You can tell us what's on your mind."

Tsukiko looked away and gave a small sigh. She looked over to the gate and saw Kaito was pacing back and forth. Tsukiko looked down to her feet, still having the same feeling in the pit of her chest.

"I can't say…" she muttered. She then walked down the steps and over to the gate.

Yukiko and Yusaku watched as Kaito and Tsukiko exchanged a few words. The two teens waved goodbye and left soon after.

"Do you think she'll be alright…?" Yukiko said, looking rather worried.

Yusaku rapped an arm around his wife as she leaned on him. "I'm sure she'll be fine…" he said, smiling.

Kaito and Tsukiko were walking down the street in complete silence. Kaito had his attention to the cars that passed by and Tsukiko had her full attention to the ground. Both were completely lost in their thoughts.

Tsukiko suddenly stopped walking, but Kaito hadn't noticed.

"Kuroba-kun…?" Tsukiko said.

Kaito stopped walking and looked back, just realizing she had stopped. "Hm?" he said.

"Can I…" Tsukiko paused, wondering if she should actually ask. But she couldn't bare the pain anymore, she had to. "Can I ask you a question, Kuroba-kun…?"

Kaito walked forward and smiled. "Sure," he said. He was curious about her question, but he was kind of worried because of the shakiness in her voice.

Tsukiko looked up, leaving Kaito taken aback. She looked like she was about to cry. Just seeing her that way made him heartbroken, but what would make her feel this way.

Tsukiko took a deep breath and said with all her courage, "Are you Kaitou Kid, Kaito?"
