Conan has everything prepared. Agasa would be keeping an eye on Ran for him, as well as on the Shounen Tantei Dan. He didn't tell the professor where he was going, nor who he was meeting, he might give the old professor a heart attack if he did, nor did he tell Haibara.

He knew well enough the reaction she has whenever the Black Organization were mentioned or involved, and he didn't want to burden her with the news of mafia relationships as well. She had finally begun to live a normal life... Weeell, as normal as her scientific self would let her. Most of the time, she was still working on a cure for Shinichi and herself if and when she needed too, but she also helped the professor every now and then too.

Packing the last of his gadgets and a spare change of Conan's clothes into his school bag, he walks out of his room and towards the door. "I'm going now, Ran-neechan." He chirps. Ran gives him a wave before returning to packing her bag. "Have a safe trip, Conan." She shouts as he walks through the door. Closing the door behind him, he dejectedly walks down the stairs, thinking about what she said.

Stay safe, me? Hopefully you will be safer Ran. Hopefully you all will. Me and Kaito on the other hand? As per usual, we're putting ourselves straight into the firing line. At least we aren't alone anymore. At the very least I'll have Kaito to watch my back. He continues to think about the life that he will have, kicking a rock along the pavement. Luckily after so long of walking the same path, his feet know where to go. And he arrives at the street the school is located.

"Conan!" Comes three different familiar shouts. He winces at the volume, and turns to face the Shounen Tantei Dan. They are three people that he would never have met without becoming Conan. But Conan is glad that he met them, it was refreshing to see the children act so silly and carefree, something that he could never be at his correct age. "Good morning guys. Are you looking forward to the weekend?" he asks, knowing that there will be a very long, one sided conversation between them.

With them chattering away in the background, he is free to walk next to Haibara. "Did you manage to make it in time?" he whispers, moving closer to her. Looking around her to make sure no one was watching, she hands a small case over to Conan. "Yes, I did. It took me so long because of all of the resistances that you have built up so far. This one should work, but not for very long. Definitely not a whole day." She gives him a serious look, one of warning.

Conan takes the pill case, a small smile of thanks on his face. "So Conan, what about you? What will you be doing over the weekend?" Seeing the look Mitsuhiko is giving him, Conan takes a step away from Haibara, and continues walking towards their classroom. "Come on, hurry up or we'll be late. I'll tell you on the way"

They make it to the classroom just in time, having time to settle down before the teacher arrives. "Good morning class. I hope that you are ready for another day of learning." she says, looking at all of the faces in front of her. A chorus of enthusiastic agreements rise from the children. "Rise, bow, sit" says the class representative and so class begins.

During class, Conan can't seem to concentrate on the lesson. He stares out of the window, looking at the people and cars outside. Then at the clouds slowly drifts by, Conan tries to make shapes from them but everything seems to have a mafia feel to it. The first cloud looks like a gun, shooting a bullet. The next one looks like a fedora. The final one looks like a corpse, blood pooling around it. Shaking his head, Conan tries to focus back on what's being taught. He looks back at the clock. Would Kaito hurry up already! I'm going insane here. Kiddy school is bad enough without the anticipation of this meeting.

The clock behind him chimes once, indicating that it's half past nine. As if that was a cue, the madness begins. A woman slams open the door, runs over to him and picks him up. She has shoulder length black hair, curls at the end. She is on the larger side, wearing black triangular glasses, with a purple dress and an orange scarf on. This was how Kudou, Yukiko had dressed when she 'kidnapped' him, before taking him to his Dad dressed as the Knight Baron. They had decided to set him up and pretend that they were Organisation agents, showing Conan what could happen if his identity was found out. It was part of their reasoning to move back to America. Surely a 'come with us, you'll be safer in America' would have sufficed?

"Oh, Conan. It's just terrible." Comes the loud blubbering. Conan looks stunned, not expecting this outburst. The whole classroom is silent, watching the large woman cry. No one has a clue who this woman is, let alone why she is hugging Conan. The teacher steps over nervously, "Umm, Excuse me... But who are you?" she leans over, trying to find the woman's face. She looks at Conan, who has recovered from his shock by now and is comforting the woman, and raises her eyebrow in confusion.

"K-kaasan, nah Kaa-san, are you okay? What's happened?" Conan asks acting genuinely concerned. There is a collective 'oh' from the class, as the identity of this woman is revealed. "Hey, now. It's going to be okay." Says Ayumi comfortingly, worried about Conan's mother. "Umm, Conan-kun's mum, here's a tissue. "Holding up a tissue, she looks up, hoping that she's of some help.

Conan's mother turns, and smiles at the small girl. "Why, thank you, dear." She sniffs. Taking the tissue, she dabs at her eyes, trying not to smudge her waterproof makeup. "Oh my god. I'm making a scene. I'm sorry Conan, but I have some bad news. Your Father has been hospitalized. I've come here to take you with me to America to see him. We want everyone in the family to be there for him."

Another collective gasp, this time in sympathy comes from the group of 10 year olds. They are all old enough now to know what this means, and all feel sorry for Conan. The teacher takes a step back, hand to her mouth. "I'm sorry Sensei, but can I have permission to take Conan with me? Family is very important." Asks Conan's mother, a hand rubbing Conan's back.

The teacher just nods, feeling sorry for the crying pair in front of her. "Kaa-san, will Tou-san be alright?" Conan asks, voice small, tears in his eyes. His mum just hugs him tightly, before grabbing Conan's bag and leaving the classroom. "I hope next time we meet under better circumstances." She says before closing the door behind her.

The two walked, out of the school yard, toward the parked car in front of them. They went inside and as soon as they closed the door, the car moved and a very familiar face with a huge grin appeared from the passenger seat. "Yo, Tantei-kun~!" Conan was shocked that the person in front of him was Kaito, he quickly took a glance between the person who was disguised as his mother and the person who was suppose to be disguised as his mother. "K-Kaito!? D-Then wa-who!?"

Conan quickly got up and grabbed Kaito's face. "Ouch!" Kaito cried out in pain, Conan started to pinch his cheeks. "S-stooof ich muee!" Conan then started to pull his cheeks, Kaito started frail and his eyes starts to water from pain, "Shin-han, ich muee! Weally muee! Aaaaaaah!"

Conan finally was convinced that the Kaito in front of him is real, he flopped down on the seat. "If you." Conan points at the Kaito in front of him, "Are Kaito, then." Conan looks at the person next to him. "Who are you!?"
