"How did it end up this way? This isn't right."

Flashback

The brunette slowly lifted her eyelids. She sat upright on her bed and the cold towel on her head fell onto her lap. After a few coughs, she glanced sideways at the night stand. "Medicine?" She frowned. "Guess a doctor came to see me, but I don't remember anything." Her hand reached to touch her forehead. "All I can remember…"

"The Professor was carrying me…"

"Then I think…I think…"

She gasped. Araide sensei is…Vermouth? There was an overwhelming feeling of uneasiness as she trembled. "Wait a second." Turing her head slightly, she saw a peacefully sleeping Hakase. She heaved a sigh of relief. "Baka ne. If I had really been discovered, I wouldn't have had that dream." That dream that was filled with that dense detective. Smiling, she thought. "Hakase even dozed off over there…huh? Something's not right."

She froze. A beautiful drop of red liquid dripped onto the pink carpet. She jumped out of bed and forced herself to run toward the lifeless body. "Hakase!" A person crackled in the darkness. "Drip, drip, drip. Isn't that a wonderful melody, Sherry?" The person dressed in black snickered. "It's the melody of blood."

At that moment, a shadow came and pushed her to the ground.

"If they found out that you're alive, they will kill you, your family, your friends, and everyone around you."

A bullet flew past her head. "Kudo?" The boy panted and cursed under his breath. He pulled Haibara along and ran behind a wall. "Are you alright? Oi, Haibara." His sapphire blue eyes stared into hers with concern. The girl was unable to reply. Her mind was in complete chaos, her heart was hurting so much that it was killing her. She opened her mouth, but no words came out. Finally, she managed to blurt out a "Why".

"What?" the detective asked.

"Why did you come and save me. I am too weak to run now. I am a burden." Seemingly resigned to her fate, Haibara squeezed Conan's hand and continued, "You still have a chance to escape. Go without me. I need you to keep hunting them down for me."

"As if I will!" Conan hissed. "I won't let you die." He took her hand whispered, "When I count to three, we run up the stairs. Now, one…"

"Two…" His hand gripped even more tightly.

"Three!" They ran swiftly up the stairs.

You're not alone, together we stand,

I'll be by your side you know I'll take your hand.

Gun shots started firing at them. Conan got shot in the shoulder. He grunted as he tried to endure the pain, not letting go of the hand he held on to. "I am not letting you go."

When it gets cold, and it feels like the end,

There's no place to go you know I won't give in.

It was just like that time, during the bus hijacking incident. He was the one who pulled her out of the bus. He was the one that saved her every time she needed help or felt insure. During the baseball match, he lent her his glasses to protect her too.

You know I won't give in.

"Don't give up Haibara. I know we can make it through together."

Keep holding on,

Cause you know we'll make it through,

We'll make it through,

"Stay strong. Remembered what I've said?"

"Baka." Haibara thought. " How could I forget?" The detective freak once told her not to run from her own destiny.

Just stay strong,

Cause you know I'm here for you,

I'm here for you

Flashback ends

There they were, hiding in a secret room Hakase told them to go to in case of danger. Haibara stared into the blank space while Conan tried to find a way out. "I owe you another one." Haibara tried to say as calmly as possible. Conan turned towards her and place her head on his shoulders. "Cry as much as you want. It's no use holding your tears."

Haibara burst in tears almost immediately. "Onee-san died because of me. Hakase died because of me. And many others too, due to that drug I created. Why did everyone die because of me?"

There's nothing you could say,

Nothing you could do

"It's not your fault. You did not intended that drug to be a poison, and the organisation misused the drug. Hey, more people die because of me. I'm a Shinigami, remember?" Conan comforted the distraught girl. "Plus, I saved you because I still need that cure. Don't you dare die right now." He joked. Haibara hit Conan on his chest. With a determined tone in her voice, she swore, "I will not fall. I will see the downfall of the organisation with me own eyes. I will get revenge for Hakase. Just you wait."

There's no other way when it comes to the truth.

So keep holding on,

Cause you know I'm here for you

"No Haibara." Conan replied with a confident grin. "We will do it together."


"And cut! Well done!" I yawned and stretched my arms. "HEY!" An elderly man started running towards me. "Why did you write me as dead?" I replied lazily, "This is MY fanfiction, I do what I like."

"NO WAY! THE READERS ADORE ME! AND LEARN TO RESPECT THE ELDERLY!" The old man screamed in my ears. Then, he used an awfully sweet voice and asked, "You guys love me right?" "What the hell are you doing breaking the fourth wall?"

"Anyway, as a punishment, you will be testing my newest invention." There is a dangerous glint in his eyes. "Uh no. Gotta run." Then a brunette stopped in front of me. "Not so fast, Hermione-san." She gave me one of her famous death glare. "You made me hold that Holmes freak hand for ONE HOUR. You are dead meat." Conan retorted, "I am not particularly of holding the hand of an evil-eyed yawny girl."

"So who agrees to torture Hermione-san?" Three hands were raised.

And what happens later…let's just say I should not write it here

THE END.


Author's notes

CoAi fans please don't kill me. You can ignore the last part if you want xD. Sorry if I've scared you there for a second, I don't want Haibara ti die so quickly. I do not have much time to check for grammatic errors this time round, and English is not my first language, so excuse me if I use the wrong grammar/vocabulary/bla bla bla

As I've say, I have way too many tests coming my way. I can't update every week as I promised now.

This story is based on Manga File 423 to 425 and Anime episode 340, the scene where Hakase slept with tomato juice dripping down. I twisted the ending a bit, and actually really killed him.

"Hey should I kill her?" STOP BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL!

Well, where was i? Oh. This may turn out illogical, but sorry not sorry, I do not write mysteries. Plus, this scene completely fits the song. Yay!

Lastly my dears, GO LISTEN TO THIS SONG.
