** IMPORTANT NOTE **
This is the second chapter I have updated this week.
Please don't forget to read Chapter 5 : The Feast, before continuing this.
Thank you :)))
Author's Note : The second chapter in row! Hahaha. I'm sorry, guys, I just want to progress the story faster (so that I can finally write some romantic moments.. XD). Please don't get bored with me then :3
Disclaimer : I do not own Detective Conan, but if I did, Shiho would definitely be the protagonist.

9 p.m., Beika, Tokyo
Whaaa.. .. I'm so sleepy..
As soon as Shiho and Shinichi got back from the long ride, both of them felt beat, extremely exhausted, yet the detective still had so many things to do. Since he flew back to Tokyo, he hadn't had a chance to unpack his things, let alone cleaning the neglected house. Therefore, as he and the girl bid farewell, he decided to do the first one.
...
...
...
"Pheww... finally..."
Whispered to himself as he successfully stuffed all his clothes in the wardrobes. An hour had passed and there was only one luggage left.
...
...
"Umm.. this one.. there you go!"
...
...
"Where is it... where where where.. come on.. umm.. huh?"
A velvet box fell over the floor.
Shinichi stared at the object in surprise.
...
...
"Hmm? This is..."
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...

"Take this, Shinichi," said Kudo Yuzaku with some secret grins on his face.
"Huh? What is it?"
"It's our wedding ring! Shin-chan" Kudo Yukiko answered enthusiastically. She clapped her hands and happily embraced her husband like a little girl. Shinichi astonishingly looked at the box in his hand. It was a very beautiful ring scrupulously crafted from pure white gold, decorated with little precious diamonds. The jewels playfully glittered before his eyes. Indeed a very magnificent ring.
"We thought you have grown up enough to take care of it," said Yuzaku watching his curious son. "It's the graduation gift for you."
"What? You want me to get a wife now?" bursted Shinichi in surprised.
"My. Isn't that great? I can't wait to hold on your babies..."
"Mom!"
"Hahaha. Don't tease him, Yukiko. He is embarrassed enough," Yuzaku cut off. Waived at his lovely wife. "There is no need to rush, Shinichi. We didn't mean to push you or anything, but when the time comes, it comes..."
"Like I and your father! You'll never know when!" Yukiko added. Shinichi looked at his parents, stunning. Not really sure which face should he make.
"Well, how am I gonna know that it's the time?" finally spoked Shinichi, still glaring at the ring. The couple smiled at him.
"Aww. You are detective, aren't you? I'm sure you will find it out."
"Argh. Forget it. I'm not gonna throw my youth that quick," The boy fussed and put the ring back to his father's hand. However, despite doing so, his face started to blush. Of course he had the thought in mind yet wasn't marriage a big thing? Yukiko and Yuzaku looked at their flustered son. They smiled again.
"Shinichi. Do you know why I asked your mother to married me that night?" asked Yuzaku meaningfully.
Shinichi shook his head.
"At that time, I was damn young. Younger than you, actually. I knew that I had lots of futures and opportunities waiting for me. I would have lots of times meeting many more girls other than Yukiko. I didn't even know if I wanted to spend the rest of my live with her! But there was one thing I was so certain of..."
...
...
...
...
...
"..that if someone else proposed to her, I would regret living in this world."

9.30 p.m., Shinagawa, Tokyo
Kaito was laying on his bed with a smile on his face and a cellphone in his hand.
'Sweet dreams, my lovely princess'
He sent the message.
...
...
...
Five minutes later, his phone rang.
'Thank you. But I'm not yours'
The straightforward reply from the strawberry blonde. Kaito giggled at the text, read it over and over again. Then, he happily placed the phone on the table and put the light off. Seemed like he would have a good dream tonight.
...
...
...
...
...
"Tell me, Aoko, why did you say 'yes' to that guy?" asked Kaito impatiently as soon as his closest friend announced her marraige.
Aoko chuckled, "Awwww.. Don't make such a face. I know you are worried for me, Kaito, but please trust me. I have thought this through."
"How can you be so sure? There are many good guys out there waiting to jump right to your feet! Yet you've just dated this man for not so many months?! How do you know that he is the one?" Kaito continued arguing, trying to claim his reasons. "Besides, you are just 23 ! For God's sake! I'm sure you will find much better guy in life."
Aoko looked at her tempered friend. It was true that Kaito had a point. No denying, she might be too young to get married at the time. However, her eyes just softened.
"To tell you the truth, I don't know either if it is the right decision or not, but," she gently smiled.

"I just can't break his heart. That's all."
