A/N: Sorry i took so long to update! School is very busy and i have a ton of homework! I tried to give you a long chapter this time, so you can stash that mind book away to use during boring lectures!
World of Lies Chapter 4
My hand flew straight up to my left eye. I could feel a bandage where my hand pressed against my face. It hurt. I opened my other eye, only to see that I was In a dimly lit room.
Suddenly, the lights flickered on. Everything went blurry for a second, my brain hadn't yet adjusted to the light. Something, no, someone was walking towards me. I couldn't make out his features, because everything was still fuzzy, could he be a member of the men in black? I hid under the covers. Ever since I had shrunk, I no longer felt confident. Instead, I felt shy and vulnerable.
"It's okay," said a voice with a heavy accent, "I won't hurt you. There's no need to feel scared." I slowly poked my head out from under the covers. "Oh, I thought you were one of them." I said, timidly, my voice a lot higher than it had been only recently.
"One of who?"
I made a split second decision. This man was very kind to take me in, but I wasn't sure whether I could trust him just yet.
"err… One of the governors from the….. orphanage . I ran away, because.. because…" At this point I burst into tears. This was the perfect point to let my emotions run freely.
He shifted uncomfortably. Should he comfort her? Should he press her for more answers?
"Look, why don't you rest for a bit. You can stay here with me if you need to. If you want to tell me more later, then do, but if you don't want to talk about it, that's also fine.
I nodded, the tears slowly starting to dry on my cheeks, leaving little trails of salt behind.
'Thankyou' I murmured quietly.
'That's ok,' he replied, glad to see that she had stopped crying, 'by the way, what's your name?'
I paused. I had been expecting this question, but I hadn't thought of anything yet. I needed a pseudonym.
'err…. Akemi Hikari!'
'That's a nice name.'
'Thanks'
He walked to the door. 'Would you like me to turn off the light?'
'yes please'
He left, softly closing the door after him. I let out a sigh and fwumped back on my pllow. Could I live like this?
Agasa walked downstairs and came face to face with Haibara.
"What is it?" he asked.
Haibara sighed. 'You've taken another person in.'
'It's my house.'
'Yeah, but with another child in this house, we'll have to be super careful when we are talking about Shinichi and I's real identities' she replied in exasperation.
'I couldn't just leave her there could i? She was injured, and helpless. What would have happened if I hadn't taken you in?'
Haibara wanted to argue that she was different, but she knew that there was no point.
'Well, if she becomes a pain, don't blame me' She answered over her shoulder as she walked away, down the stairs to the basement where she slept.
THE NEXT DAY
Conan Edogawa AKA Shinichi Kudo sat at the back of the classroom, looking as bored as hell. This first grade work was too easy for him. After about three quarters of an hour, the bell finally rang to signal lunchtime. Whilst the rest of the class cheered, and ran out of the class laughing and shouting, he dawdled behind. Haibara followed him at a slow pace.
'Ugh. I don't know how I can deal with this much longer. How many times can a class practise their 2 times tables in one week?' Conan complained.
'Well you're gonna have to put up with it until I find the antidote., haibara drawled.
'They walked the rest of the way in silence, apart from the odd yawn from Conan.
When they reached the playgroud, their silence was broken by a loud, high pitched squeal from Ayumi.
'CONAN KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN !'
'well, would you look at the time. I gotta go. Cya!'
Conan took off at a run.
Haibara smirked as she watched the very scene that occurred every day in the playground. Conan running for his life, Ayumi at his heels, trying to hug him. It was quite an amusing scene.
