Here it is, chapter 6, sorry for not posting for a while now.
"Ano...Haibara-neechan, what book are you going to read for us?" a boy way younger than Haibara current state said as a group of toddlers around his age circle around her.
"This is call Mary Shelley's Frankenstein." Haibara stated as she held the book our for all to see.
"Oi Haibara...that book is too advance for them to comprehend." Conan said.
"Oh...Kudo, what the heck you are doing here?" Haibara said a bit annoyed.
"I'm here to see if you actually came and I'm glad I did, Frankenstein. Seriously?" Conan said with a similar annoyed face as Haibara.
"I find it fairly entertaining," Haibara said with so much pride as she look away from Conan.
"Maybe you should consider the feelings of everyone else in group huh?" Conan said.
Before both of them could continue their conversation someone came into the picture.
"Oi, Haibara-chan how's the reading coming along?" A voice said. This cause Haibara to stop and look at the source of the voice. Masudo-san older brother appear.
"It's seem Haibara-san is having some trouble picking out a book to read to the children." Conan said, responding quicker than Haibara-san. "Is that so?" Masudo-san older brother said as he walk toward the circle and halt. "Why don't we vote what book we would like to read huh?"
"The boy who cry wolf." a boy said.
"Little red riding hood." a girl said.
"Jack and the Beanstalk" two boys said.
"Why don't the she make up a story?" a voice said. Turn out the voice belong to Conan.
"That does sound like a good idea. All in favor?" Masudo-san older brother asks as he raise his hands, with everyone raising their hands with him.
"It's decided, Haibaranee-chan will be telling us a made up story." Conan said as all the kids cheer with agreement. This only made Haibara more dreadful than before but luckily Masudo-san then leave to help someone. After a moment or two to think about something, she thought up of a story.
"Ok. Once upon a time there lived a little girl. She was always busy with studying and reading in order to go to a good school. Her parents would only allow her to only eat, sleep, and use the restroom. The girl eventually understand that by doing so, she would be securing herself her life and making her parents less worry about their daughter. With that in mind, she continues with her study.
It wasn't until one day, both her parents were gone that she met someone. A boy around her age with glasses who happens to stumble upon her parents garden. Surprise and curious of the boy, the girl walk out of the living room to the garden.
She asks him what's he doing in her parents' garden which he reply that he is looking for his friend cat. She told him to leave but the boy would not, believing that his friend's cat is somewhere in this garden.
He was right. The cat was stranded on a branch of a tree near the edge of the garden. The girl, proven wrong grab the boy by the arm and walk over to the tree. Since the tree was too high for them and smooth to climb on, what did they do to get to the cat?"
One of the kids, said get an adult. Another said left the cat there. A young girl then said the girl climbs on the boy in order to get the cat. Haibara nodded. "That's right." Haibara continue with a smile while looking at Conan. Conan notice the similarities and the smirk that Haibara displaying which he reply by looking at her a but annoyed while saying, "Oi oi."
"The girl use the boy to climb on to get to the cat. She especially told him not to look up while she is standing on top of him."
"Wait why?" One of the kids said. "Because..." Haibara starts out. "you only allow the person you love to see you in such a way, unfortunately for the boy she likes someone else." The kids around them gasps. A few of them even blush in excitement.
"Who's the person that the girl loves Onee-chan?" The same little girl from before ask, then back by the others kids who are now curious as well.
Haibara smile, "Well...that's something th-"
"Oh...who is the person that the girl love? Now I'm curious." A voice said that surprise Haibara as she turn around and saw the face of Masudo-niichan.
"at...I-I m-mean um..." Haibara said, not able to reply back properly now that Masudo-san is involve.
"Ano what are you doing here Masudo-niichan?" Conan asks. "Well just checking to see how's the story coming along and might I say, it sounds interesting." Masudo-san said with a smile.
Haibara look down, embarrass but more nervous due to Masudo-san's comment.
"Oi, Haibara-neechan! The girl from the story, who does she love?" The girl who sudden curiosity transcend to the depth of compassion. Haibara not really wanting to answer, reply by saying, "A SECRET MAKES A WOMAN A WOMAN." With her index finger on her lips, indicating it to be a secret.
"HHHHEEEE?" All the kids sprouted out of their mouth. "That's not fair onee-chan, we want to know even more now." One of the kids said. Everyone else nodding to agree with him.
Haibara turn away from them. "Oi oi...did everyone lost interest in the actually story?" Haibara thought...
A hour later, Conan and Haibara are seen walking outside with Conan suffering from a bump on his head.
"You know, I'm starting to regret helping you and you're love life." Conan grumble as he attempts to lessen the pain by applying pressure on his noggin.
"I never ask you for your help but since you did, there is no going back. Besides, if you help me, I might even help you with yours love life." Haibara said to Conan. "You can help me but getting my body back to it original stage." Conan whisper at her face. "I'm no where near completing a cure of the drug I created. It might take a while." Haibara said as she increase her speed while closing her eyes. Leaving Conan behind.
"Wait, how long is a while?" Conan asks as he caught up to Haibara and grab her by the sleeve.
"As of now, it is indefinite." Haibara states as she stop walking all together as she spots something she wish she did not see. There ahead of her...well her and Kudo, were the girl Kudo is in love with, and the guy she likes checking out a stand of chocolates.
"Oi Kudo, you might have trouble." Haibara states as she turn his head toward in front of them. "Wha... Oi Ran-neechan!" Conan yelled to the teenage girl. "What's are you doing with Masudo-niichan?"
"Ohaiyo Conan-kun and Haibara-chan." Masudo-san said. "I'm helping her choose some delicious chocolates from this stand since I work here at candy store."
"Conan-kun, how do you know him?" Ran ask, her parental instinct taking place.
"We met through his younger brother Masudo Rei who is a classmate of ours." Conan states as a fact. "So, who are you buying the chocolates for? Haibara asks bluntly. Ran look at Haibara and notice her face to be a bit rigid.
"Well... you see..." Ran began but then knee down to Haibara's ear.
"Sonoko dared me to buy something and to see if he would ask for my number. " Ran said as she sheepishly smiles after finishing her explanation.
Haibara begins to show some angry mark on her forehead as she spots Sonoko eating down on a outside table. Sonoko notice them and wave at them.
"That Bi-"
"WAA Ran-neechan, you shouldn't let Sonoko-neechan make you do something that this. What if Shinichi-niichan happens to see you." Conan states, attempting for Haibara to recover her cool.
"You're right but who knows when he will be back. Oh and I'll take this one." Ran said as she stood up and pointed to a rectangular box. "Hai." Masudo-san said. Oblivious of what just happened between the three.
"Besides, the purpose is to make Shinichi jealous. Even a little. Eventually you will understand why girls do this." Ran said as she smile at Conan. I am Shinichi... and I still don't get it.
"Here you go." Masudo-san said as he give her. "Ah thank you." Ran said as she took the box and paid for it.
"If you don't mind me asking, if you just want to make this Shinichi jealous, I wouldn't mind accompanying you for one day." Masudo-san stated causing Ran to blush. "R-REALLY! Thanks but what if Shinichi isn't aware of our date." Ran asks, a bit doubtful.
:DATE! WHO SAID IT WAS A DATE!" Haibara thought as she try to keep herself in check before she does something she might regret.
"That shouldn't be a problem if you have a mean of contacting him. Like his phone number?" Masudo-san suggested.
"Ah, I do have his number." Ran gasp as she took out her phone. "Then later today, sent him a text message about our meeting. If you are free, then we can meet up at 8pm. I still have a few more hours to go." Masudo-san said. "Thank you, I'll see you soon. We will meet up at that restaurant that my friend is at. Thanks again." Ran said as she smiles and walk toward Sonoko.
"He he he...I can't believe that she's actually doing it." Conan said to no one specifically. "Well, it is right to say that we did not see that coming." Haibara said with an undetermined face.
"Oi Masudo-niichan, are you really planning to date Ran-neechan?" Conan asks after recovering from the sudden event that taken place. "Well Conan-kun, I'm merely helping her." He simply answer.
Haibara then turns her attention to Masudo-san as he work. She then looks down while gripping her hand tightly. "A-Ano...Masudo-san...wooould you like ..." Haibara started to whisper out.
"OI MASUDO NEED SOME HELP HERE!" Yelled a man inside the story. "Y-Yes right away! I'll see you guys soon" Masudo-san said to them as he ran inside the store to help.
Leaving Haibara to feel more embarrass than before.
"Oi Haibara, are you trying to expose yourself?!" Conan yells at Haibara along their way home. "I get it, I lost it for a moment but don't worry. I'm planning to do something about it before it get out of hand. " Haibara said as she stop. "What are you planning on doing?" Conan asks as he too stop to hear Haibara's answer.
"I'm planning to watch them while they go about it on their FAKE DATE". Haibara declare, stressing out the words "Fake Date".
"NANI! You're actually plan to stalk Ran-neechan and Masudo-niichan on their date?" Conan asks, while surprised.
"Now all I need is a disguise..." Haibara ponders as Conan is totally ignored...
Several hours later...
"Oi Otou-san, Conan-kun, I'm leaving...don't forget to microwave your dinner I left when you guys get hungry! " Ran yells as she left.
"Where is she going at this time?" Kogoro asks. "Um, I think she is meeting up with a friend, maybe with Sonoko-neechan." Conan said to Kogoro in order for conceal the date from Ran's father. The last thing everyone needs is another stalker.
So with that said, Conan then makes his way to the meeting point in order to catch up with Haibara.
As he arrives close to the restaurant, he starts to look around for Haibara...
He spots Ran and Masudo walking along the sideline. He quickly hide behind a poster of Gomera.
"Ano... Masudo-san, where are we going?" Ran said a bit nervous of her date that is not Shinichi. "Well since it is our first, why not just look around the stores for a bit." Masudo suggests as he grab onto Ran's hand and continue to walk. Before Conan could react negatively, someone beaten me to it.
Conan suddenly felt the intention to kill and turns to the direction of this strong desire. There he spots a young girl like himself, wearing tan shorts, sandals, and a light pink dress. The dress seems familiar but then it hit him like a tons of bricks or like a bus. That little girl giving off the death glare was none other than Haibara. How could he had miss her.
Wait, her hair...SHE MADE THEM INTO A PIG TAILS! Conan yells in his mind as he spots her secretly following them. Haibara is still Haibara in those clothes but it hard to believe she would actually go as far as dressing up as a pretty little girl...
Although, technically she is a little girl... Wait... I shouldn't be thinking about that, I need to catch up before I lose sight of them!
Conan ran ahead but suddenly he turns and notice that he indeed lost sight of both Ran's with Masudo and Haibara. Before he could think of his next course of action, a pair of hands suddenly cover his mouths as they quickly draw him into the darkness.
WHO! Conan then turns his head to see Haibara looking away from Conan's stare. Haibara! What are you doing...
"Oi Kudo, for a detective, you are not much of a hider. Look, they are currently at that store looking at several clothes." Haibara stated
"Oi Haibara, what with that get up?!"
"It's not my style but I need to be sure that no one would recognize me." Haibara said while blushing a bit out of embarrassment.
"Ha? I didn't believe you would go as far as to stalk him while wearing something like this. Well since you are clearly fallen in love with him, I'll help you with you're stalking." Conan said while smiling.
"Aren't you using my situation as an excuse in order to spy on your woman." Haibara said with a deadpan look.
"Oi oi..." Conan simply said while turning a bit red around his cheeks.
As Conan and Haibara continues with their spying, they went to more than 5 stores before they make their way to a ice-cream parlor.
"S-So Masudo-san, what are we doing in a ice-cream parlor?" Ran asks while looking around the place. "Well I felt that we should take a break and get something to eat. Also, in this date call be by my first name, Takashiro. Okay?" Masudo said while smiling. "H-Hai..." Ran responds.
This sudden change in event cause two people nearby to react negatively. Both look at each other and nodded as they walk over to the ice-cream parlor.
"Conan-kun, what are you doing here and who is your friend here?" Ran said as she notice Conan with a girl walking up to them. Good it seems that Ran doesn't notice that she is Haibara
"Hm..." Masudo said while looking at both Conan and Haibara. "This is Hitomi from my class. She asks me out on a practice date in order to get more experience since she doesn't have many guys friends. Right?" Conan said as he turns to Haibara for confirmation. "H-Hai..." Haibara replies, nervous after noticing Masudo so close up.
"So, I was thinking of taking her to a ice-cream parlor but since you guys are here, why not make it a double date?" Conan suggested.
"Great idea, I always wonder what it would be like to double date, especially with someone who is like a little brother." Ran said while smiling.
"So Hitomi, why did you pick Conan as a practice partner?" Ran suddenly asks as Conan and Hitomi took their seat at the same table as Ran and Masudo.
"W-Well, I don't know many boys and Edogawa-kun seems like a trustworthy person so I ask him to help me." Haibara states. Apparently Ran seems to think of Hitomi as an innocently shy girl. "Kawaii, I never knew Conan knew someone like you. I think you look really cute with your pigtails" Ran said, commenting on her hair. "A-Arigatou..." Haibara simply said not being able to look at neither Ran nor Masudo.
"So Conan-kun, does Ayumi-chan and Haibara-chan know about this?" Ran asks as she gives Conan a irritated look. "Um... No." Conan stated a bit scare of what to come.
"Well let not let it ruin our date, you guys can order anything on the menu, my treat." Masudo said.
After everyone order something, they begin to chat within their designated partner. "Oi Haibara, what should we do now?" Conan whisper at Haibara ear so no one can hear them. "For now let keep up the act that I'm Hitomi but don't get any bright ideas alright." Haibara said as she gives him her traditional glare.
Who would with someone like her...
"Ah..." Ran said as she gives some scoop of ice-cream to Masudo. "Ran-neechan! What are you doing?!" Conan panicked. "Takashiro said that couples usually gives the other food and would help with making Shinichi jealous. "She stated without hesitation.
"Takashiro?" Both Conan and Haibara said at the same time.
Well it worked... "Say ah Conan-kun..." a voice said as a big amount of chocolate ice-cream is shoved into Conan's mouth.
"Does it taste good?" Haibara said while smiling. If someone were to look into that smile, they would notice the amount of evil aura around that person. "Here...have more..." She said as she continues to stuff Conan's mouth with more ice-cream until Conan pass out.
"Conan-kun! I better take him home... I wonder why he suddenly just pass out. Thank you for date hopefully Shinichi happen to be nearby" Ran said as she gives a smile to Masudo.
"I'm sure someone was jealous." Masudo said as he smiles back. Haibara begins to get irritated by this scene. Similar to a child wishing to skip the commercials that follow during a program.
"Ah Hitomi, I'm sorry but it seems you have to cancel your date with Conan-kun."
"That's a okay, I just hope he feels better." Haibara said as she look away.
"Are you able to go home on your own?" Ran asks.
"Hai, I live somewhat nearby so I have no trouble going home on my own."
"I still feel unease on letting a little girl go home on her own though..." Ran said as she begins to think of a solution.
"Why don't I take her home. I have time since our date ended a bit earlier so it shouldn't be a problem." Masudo said as he look at Haibara. "Is that ok with you Hitomi-chan?"
"H-Hai!" Haibara quickly replies. "Well if she's ok with it then I'll leave her to your care. Bye" Ran said as she left the ice-cream parlor while carrying Conan on her back.
"So Haibara-chan why are you dress like that?" Masudo said as he look at the little girl. "Y-You knew it was me?" Haibara said surprise by this sudden revelation. "Well not at first until I notice that glare you were given Ran-san when she feed me..." Masudo said while smiling.
"I-I wasn't glaring!" Haibara said as she look away, not wanting to meet his eyes. "Right then since both of our date left, want to go somewhere?" Masudo asks while standing up.
Now my chance... Haibara thought as she reach from her purse. "Want to see a movie?"
"Sure." Masudo said as they left after paying.
As they walk, Masudo begins to a conversation. "So any reason as to why you dress up as a shy and innocent girl with pigtails?"
"Do I look weird?" Haibara simply ask.
"Well of course you would." Haibara begins to get look down with tears really to fall any minute. "You do look weird but cute. I think a ponytail would suit you better. "
After he said that, Haibara suddenly pause. "Haibara-chan?"
Haibara pulls out both bands holding her hair in pigtails and use one of them to form one ponytail. "How is it?" She ask while blushing. Not be to stand to look at his face.
"Very cute." Masudo simply said...
As they arrives at the movie theater, they decides to stick to a children movie. "Gomera and the Revenge of Terror Tuff"
As the movie plays, Haibara stole some glances at Masudo. Being actual 19, she felt like she should take initiative. She slowly reach her hand in hope to cover Masudo's big hand. Before she could, a sudden explosion is heard in the theater. Causing Haibara to jump up in surprise.
"Haibara-chan, are you ok?" He said turning his attention to her. "Y-Yes just peachy..." She said as she sat down again. Masudo seems to leave it as that since he turn his head back to the direction of the screen.
Haibara feeling disappointed lay her hands on the hands rail and attempt to watch the rest of the movie. Then she felt the grasp of someone's hand on her own. She look to her left and saw his hand covering her's and could feel the warm coming from his hand alone.
Satisfy with that, she happily watch the rest of the movie with Masudo.
As the movie begins to play the credits, Masudo stood up and stretch for a bit. "Alright, time to go Haibara-chan..." He said but then notice Haibara sleeping peacefully. "Ara ara, it's seems you over did yourself." Masudo said as he gently carry Haibara on his back.
It didn't take long before he made it to Dr. Agasa's house and rang the bell. Fortunately Dr. Agasa was by the kitchen when he rang so it didn't take long before he make his way to Haibara's room yet again to drop her off.
As he puts her down in bed and taking off her sandals, he cover her up and was about to leave when he felt a hand latching to his.
Haibara being barely awake, "W-Would it be alright if I call you M-MMasudo-k-kkkun..." She asks while looking away. Not sure what to expect and how he would answer that.
"Sure." Is all that she heard. Happy with that response, she close her eyes and brings back her hand. Masudo look at her sleeping face for a moment before taking his leave.
And there ends another chapter. Please review this chapter as well and I will try to write the next one even faster. Until next time!
