Author's Note: Hello again! I'm presenting the fourth chapter of my very first fan fiction hope you like it. Regarding the part about Kir being evil I know that in the series she's good but I started to write this story before I knew that so I won't be sticking to Kir being good because I don't want to change my story. Please review! Correct my grammar if you want but don't tell me I'm stupid for making so many grammatical errors because I'm just a kid.
Disclaimer: I don't own Detective Conan as I said in the previous chapters. I just merely wanted to adapt his story and make a version of my own.
The Moment Where Everything Was Lost
Part I: The Eclipse
"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth"
-Sherlock Holmes
Chapter IV: Escape
Author's Note: There is a part here where I change from a view to a point of view so remember the difference.
The helicopter flew at a fair height. "I'll kill that girl personally!" Vermouth screamed. "Good thing, we escaped." Vodka said in relief. "Vermouth, be thankful we came back for you. In Kir's case I think she'll understand." Gin explained. "But still after I recover I'll specially hunt that brunette faster than lightning." Vermouth cursed. "At least she didn't hit you in any vital parts." Gin said. "Who survived the fight other than us?" Vermouth asked. "Me, you, Vodka and Margarita. The other people in the headquarters also escaped earlier than us because the boss told them that reinforcements will come." Gin answered.
"How's Margarita? Kir's like a sister to her since she got here." Vermouth said. "Since when did you care about her?" Gin asked. "Don't be ridiculous! I just can relate to her." Vermouth said. "Well this is what you don't always see." Gin said. "Oh just shut up will." Vermouth said. "By the way are we still up for kidnapping Kudo's only weakness?" Gin asked. "Of course, if Kudo is out of the picture eventually their little team will be destroyed piece by piece." Vermouth laughed.
Ran's point of view
The silence was deafening. Without Conan and Shinichi I just feel incomplete. An incomplete puzzle that can never be completed no matter how hard I try to finish it. How coincidences like happens. When one appears the other disappears like they were avoiding faith. How funny their similarities are. They're like brothers that got separated in birth. Even though they say they're not siblings I believe them but I know there is something more. Something out of this world. I know that deep inside me they were one.
I woke up with the silence ringing within my ears. I opened my eyes and tried to find the kid which reminds me of my only love, Shinichi but I failed. "Another night without him by my side." I said. I felt that another night without Conan will cause me a disease. I went out to the kitchen for breakfast and as I expected I found my dad drunk again. Without hesitation I kicked him as hard as I could. "Ahhhh!" Dad shouted in pain. "What was that for!?" Dad shouted at me. "That's for always getting drunk at night!" I shouted back at him.
We started eating the breakfast I prepared. "Dad, do you know when Conan will come back?" I asked. "Why? The professor told me that they were in a family reunion that will end I think next week." Dad said. "It's just I feel something bad and it concerns me, Conan and Shini-some other person." I strutted. "I thought that you were gonna say that stupid detective's name." Dad said. "Dad, what do you even have against him? Yeah he's annoying and a deduction freak but he's also smart, creative, cute, handsome and I lo-." I realized I got too carried away and paused before I could get the love him part out.
"You what him?!" Dad shouted. "Nothing dad. You're just hearing stuff hehehe." I said. "Ran tell me something, is that detective really your boyfriend? Just tell the truth." Dad said in a very serious tone. "Actually he's not my boyfriend but I want to be." I said slowly. "So you really feel that way about him." Dad said. "Dad, I've known Shinichi since we we're kids. I'm bound to love him someday and by the way since the first time I've seen his face I already felt something." I suddenly confessed.
"Does he also feel the same way?" Dad asked. "I'm not sure but every time he returns he always says he will tell me something very important but every time a chance opens up a case occurs and I end up being stood up. Even though he stood me up many times my feelings for him, never change. I even always forgive him. You can call me a fool for accepting him again and again." I explained. "You are a fool but all of us are fools. If not why are we even called human." Dad wisely said.
I was shocked with awe. I never thought that a time like this will come. This was one of the few times that my Dad's wisdom was at its peak. We ate breakfast in silence but I was still looking at his face because his words were still lingering inside my mind. "Dad, I'll go up now and change for school." I said. "Ok" Dad said flatly. I changed my clothes and went down to say goodbye. As isaid goodbye I was still incomplete. I walked from home to school silently.
Sonoko approached me very lively that morning. "Ran what's happening to you? You look like someone died in front of you." Sonoko said. "No, it's just Conan hasn't return yet and it's been three days." I said. "What? You're upset with that twerp?" Sonoko asked. "Well yeah because Conan has been living with us for almost three years now and whenever I see him I see Shinichi." I explained. "So it's about Shinichi-kun." Sonoko asked. "Well kind of, you know how I feel about him." I said. "Why don't you just move one?" Sonoko said. "Are you stupid? You know I can't just move one like that after everything we've been through." I said.
"Yeah, yeah" Sonoko said. I was uncomfortable with Sonoko asking questions like that. Can't she see that after anything that happens I will still always love him even though I don't show it. I love him, is it even that complicating? The school day started very slow. Lessons don't seem like ending. Hours have gone by and still I want to go home. When the bell rang it signaled luch time. "Ran what's bothering you again?" Sonoko suspiciously asked. "Oh nothing I'm just hungry." I lied. "Ran as your friend I suggest that you really need to talk to Shinichi-kun." Sonko said.
"Ok, just for you I'll call Shinichi." I forcibly said. Its' okay though I'm just calling him. After school I went to a quiet home finding a note about Dad going to be late because of a case. Since I was doing nothing I got my cell phone and tried to call Shinichi. I pushed in the numbers of his cell phone. It started ringing and with disappointment only the answering machine of the cell phone. I hung up because the voice of the answering machine can't replace the sweet voice of Shinichi.
"*sigh* Why can't Shinichi pick up? I really need to talk to him." I said to myself. The phone suddenly rang. Happiness struck through me because I felt it was Shinichi. I answered it immediately. "Shinichi?" I said. When I heard the tone I felt that it wasn't Shinichi's sweet voice but an anonymous rough and low voice. "Are you Ran Mouri?" the stranger said. "Uhm yes" I replied. "How are you connected to Shinichi Kudo?" the stranger asked. "He's my special friend." I replied. "How special?" the stranger asked. "Very special, wait just who are you?" I asked. "Oh I'm no one special but I tell you we will meet soon." The stranger said and hung up. "How weird was that?" I said to myself. I heard a knock at the door.
I was suddenly surprised at the knock and I was scared because the coincidence of a stranger calling hanging up and then someone suddenly knocks was just too much. I crept slowly to the door and asked who was outside. "Who's there?" I said. "Are you stupid?" the familiar voice said. I felt relieved and happiness because it was Shinichi. I opened the door eagerly but to my surprise it was a woman in a black dress. "Goodnight. . . . .Angel" the woman said. She punched me in the stomach. I felt a blinding pain all over my body. I fell to the ground thinking "Shinichi. . .help me". With the pain spreading everything went black.
Vermouth's point of view
"Sleep tight angel." I said to the poor girl collapsing in front of me. Just when I thought she was unconscious she suddenly grabbed my right foot shaking. "W-w-who are you?" she said gasping for breath. "Oh can't you remember me?" I said. She was shaking. She tried to lift her shaking head and then it struck her. Her head fell to the floor and said one word, "Vermouth" she said quietly and drifted to sleep. I was surprise that she knew me by that name I thought that she knew me by my other names.
I moved my head closer to her and quietly said "Angel, it's better if you forget that name because if not you'll only get into more trouble". I wasn't sure if she heard that but still she should be careful with what she says. I carried her downstairs to my car. For me not to attract attention I put her in a baggage bag and put her in the back seat. I got my cell phone and dialed Gin. "Gin, I got Angel. Let's meet at Hyde D.S." I said. "Ok don't be late. I'll bring Margarita, Chianti and Korn." Gin said.
"Chianti?" She hates my guts." I protested. "Don't worry Chianti won't dare harm you because you're the boss' favorite." Gin explained. "Ok but what if Kudo and the FBI catch up? You better not underestimate them like the last time." I said. "Don't worry if they interfere once more we'll use 'that'." Gin said. "That?" I said confusingly. "If they interfere once more than we have no choice but to use Mercury 6245. The only thing our organization made that the boss feared and forbid to use or speak of it again." Gin seriously said.
I suddenly froze in fear when I heard what he said. "What?! Are you stupid or something? You know what will be the result of that thing!" I shouted in the receiver. "Vermouth, they know and done too much to this organization. They almost revealed us to the open world. How will boss reach our goals if they stand in the way?" Gin said. "But still using this we could also die in the process. If we die everything we've done will be in vain." I shouted to Gin through the cell phone. "Vermouth you've become too naïve and soft. You're not the old Vermouth I knew." Gin said.
"Well Gin people change!" I shouted back at him. "Since you met that Kudo something changed in you. What did he do?" Gin asked. "He showed me how to be a human." I said and hung up. "That idiot he doubts me even though I did this!" I said to myself. "Maybe he is right. Lately I've also doubted myself. Since I met that kid I've experienced changes in my mind. Maybe I'm really starting to be soft." I said to myself. I ignored the things on my mind and just started to concentrate on taking the girl to the assigned spot.
I drove in a normal state so that I won't attract attention from the passer-by. There were so many things running inside my mind right now. I'm starting to think that what I'm doing is totally wrong but if I start doubting now I might just die from it. I was starting to get closer. To the assigned meeting place and there I saw the Haido City Department Store. I went to the parking lot. I went straightly to the basement. When I entered the basement there were already two cars waiting. I went between them and opened the windows. "Oh hello Chianti." I said in a mocking tone. "Now look who came from the garbage bin." Chianti laughed. "Ha ha how pathetic referring to yourself." I said. "Really Vermouth, I'll really kill you one of these days." Chianti declared.
"I'll doubt that." I said then laugh. "What do you mean by that?" Chianti said in an angry tone. "Sorry. . . .A secret makes a woman, woman." I said. "Don't you dare give me a reason to end your stinking life right now!" Chianti shouted. "Stop arguing! We have bigger matters to discuss!" Gin forcibly said. "She started it!" Chianti quietly said. "Vermouth, did you bring her?" Gin asked. "Yeah she's in the backseat in the baggage." I said. "Good, Korn bring her out gently so she doesn't wake up and put her in my car here behind me." Gin instructed.
"Gin about the conversation we talked an hour ago. Is it all true?" I asked out of nowhere. "I'm not making any promises Vermouth but if it goes out of control that I have no choice but to eliminate them one by one even if we need to use Mercury 6245." Gin explained. "But do you even know what can b e the result of that drug!" I shouted back at him. "No, I don't!" Gin replied. "Well I do! I was there when they first wanted to test that drug." I sadly said. "You were?" Gin said. "Do you know about the Yoritomo Epidemic Massacre?" I said.
"Yes, that's the story about the city that got wiped away. I was still new when that occurred." Gin said. "Well you were lucky not to know that because that is the result of this thing." I said. "How?" Gin shouted. "Twenty years ago one of our scientists created that drug that could wipe out your whole immune system. When the boss found out about this he immediately demanded a testing. The boss gave us a human to test it. The person was someone in the death list. The scientist made him swallow the drug. After a few minutes we saw symptoms of something else." Vermouth narrated.
"What?" Gin asked. "Yes his immune system was gone but it only doesn't do that it creates a disease inside you that makes your organs stop from functioning and what's worse is it was contagious." I said. "Contagious? How?" Gin asked. "You'll be infected with just one touch from the host. As we kept observing one of the scientists got infected. He panicked and went outside of the warehouse we're testing it and infected two civilian walking near the warehouse. The two civilians ran two wards Yoritomo and after two hours the news said already a thousand was dead." I said. "What happened next?" Gin asked.
"Our boss told the media that it was a newly found incurable disease. I cried for nights because of that incident after that boss completely banned the use and further development of that drug." I said. "So that's why when I started researching about that drug I only found it was deadly to one person because the file was never updated." Gin explained. "Gin before you began to work here there were many things that were kept to you, Vodka and other new members at that time. This was just one of them." I slowly said.
"Ha so this organization had more?" Gin said grinning. "Korn, Chianti return to you original posts." I ordered. "Hmph! You don't have to tell us. We were bored listening to your old stories anyway." Chianti said. "Gin, remember what I told you." I reminded him. "Okay, I'll just go and put angel at the West Headquarters." Gin said. And soon the three cars were parting away.
Chianti's point of view
"So Korn there is a way to silence that devil." I said happily. "I know, so where do we start?" Korn asked. "Isn't obvious? We'll find the drug then use it to kill Vermouth." I said gleefully. "Then what?" Korn asked. "Then we'll release upon the world the wrath of Mercury 6245." I said deviously.
Author's Note: That's the fourth chapter of my fan fiction hope you like it. Don't complain about my story because that the way I want it to go and again you can correct my grammar if you like. I think I'll be updating again in the next five days so just wait.
