Chapter 6: Here you go...

"Oi, is Haibara still moping around?" Conan said as he went inside Dr. Agasa's house. "It's seem she does not want to leave her room other than to eat or bath. I'm starting to worry about her health." Dr. Agasa said walking up to Conan.

"Yeah, it usually the other way around." Conan said. "Oi, Shinichi what are we going to do about this? Tomorrow is when Masudo-kun and his older brother are coming over for dinner." Dr. Agasa said looking at the calender. "Don't worry about it, I got a idea that just might work." Conan said as he made his way up to Haibara's bedroom.

"Oi! Haibara! Masudo-kun's older brother is here to see you." Conan yelled and lean on the door to listen better.

"NANI!" Conan heard as the sounds of something rustling and breaking.

"Well, you get do that while I wait down-stairs." He said as he attempts to leave but before he could the sudden opening and closing of the door is heard.

Conan is not sure what just happen but he is now on the floor of Haibara's bedroom. Apparently, Haibara opening the door and drag Conan inside while shutting the door. Conan see Haibara leaning on the door with a blush on her face.

"Please help me Kudo." She began. He never saw her like this, all for a crush. He begins to think, maybe it more than just a crush...Maybe she's...

"PLEASE!" Haibara repeats.

Conan responded without thinking. "Alright, I'll help you..." He said.

MOMENTS LATER...

Both Conan and Haibara went to the mall.

"I can't believe you hit me." Conan said while annoyed. "That's what you get for playing with a maiden's heart. She simply answer.

"A Maiden's heart she calls it..." Conan whispers to himself. They walk for a while in silence continue they saw a cloth store.

Minutes later...

"Oi Kudo, what are we doing here?" Haibara ask when they arrive to a area in the store. "To pick out some cute dress to wear."He replied casually. "Nani!" She said as people around them look at their directions. "Oi oi Haibara, keep it down." He said. "I figure you want to look cute in front of Masudosan-niichan..." He said while looking around. "You could have told me beforehand." She said while looking around.

"Yeah, I will keep that in mind." He said while looking for one. "Oi try this one." He said as he pass her a dress. "You serious?" She said while holding on to a light-pink silk dress. "Everyone is definitely unique. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing this." She said as she gave back the dress to Conan.

"What's wrong with it?" He asks her. "It definitely not my style for starters. Also light-pink? Are you trying to get hit again?" She said giving Conan the death glare. "It's also not your style to like someone to begin with." He said giving off a similar but annoyed stare. "Fine, I will try it on, but I better not hear a chuckle coming from you." She said with a blush. "I won't...hopefully." He said with the last part said after she went into the dressing room.

After a few minutes, Haibara came out with the dress on. "So how do I look?" She said with a slight tint of pink surfacing. "I think it look cute on you Haibara-chan." Conan said but received a punch on the noggin. "What now?" Conan muttered. "Don't call me Haibara-chan." She said nonchalantly while returning into the dressing room.

Around two hours later...

Finally, we're done shopping. I didn't expect you to enjoy shopping but when you're in love, anything can happen." He said. "L-LOVE?" She stuttered. "I'm not in l-lo..." before she could finish, she quickly spots someone very familiar. "Maaa..." She stutterers.

"Oh, Haibara-chan and Conan-kun? How's it been?" Masudo-san older brother said as he came walking to them carry a plastic bag.

"It been good, and you?" Conan asked as he walks in front of Haibara. "Well I found a job near by and came from the bakery to celebrate with Masudo-kun." He said as he held up the plastic bag holding some sweets treats. "Would you like to take some? There's plenty." he offered.

Minutes later, Haibara and Conan sat with Masudo-san older brother outside a local store...

"So Masudo-san's older brother, what's your new job?" Conan asks while he starts to eat a slice of cake. "Well, I just got hired to work at a local bookstore at the mall." He replies causally. "NANI!" Haibara surprisingly yelled as she spats some food she had in her mouth at Conan's face.

"Oi Haibara...is there something the matter?" Conan said, a bit annoyed at that.

"N-No, it's just that... is that the same bookstore we were at last time?" She asks while looking down, away from Masudo-san's older brother.

"Yes it is. I am extremely happy to get a job there, even if it just a few hours a day." Said Masudo-san's older brother. "Is that so..." Conan said as a smile again to form around his face.

Haibara quickly notice that smile and knows he's planning something. "Oi wha-

"Is the bookstore still looking for some readers to read to the children?" Conan asked, interrupting Haibara. "Last time I checked yes, they're still in need of readers, why?" Masudo-san's older brother asks.

"Well they're in luck, Haibara is a great reader and would like to read to the other kids, right Haibara?" Conan asked with a smile.

Oi Kudo, what the hell are you thinking?

Baka, can't you see, I'm trying to help you...

And exactly how does reading to children help me?

Well besides working on your communication skills, it would also mean you'll be at the same place with Masudo-san's older brother for a few days...get it now Einstein?

Both of them said as they gave each other a annoyed stares.

"Like I said before Haibara, wouldn't you like to read to the other kids?"

"Hai..." Haibara with a sigh along with it.

"That's great, I will informed them later about it and you drop by later this week." Masudo-san's older brother said.

"Hai?..." She said not sure how it will turn out.

Hope you enjoy it... Will upload as soon as possible.
