author's note at the end*
2 days prior..
Rei was sitting on the floor in the dark resting his back against the side of his bed working on his computer.
He looked up taking a deep breath in, placing his hand on his aching shoulder to ease the pain
'Now, I'll have to submit this report over and finish turning in the other paperwork into the NPA's headquarters, Oh and the new orders from Rum to look into Kudo Shinichi, Looks like he still isn't satisfied with the intel I gave in. '
'Not to mention I'll have to be up at 4AM to finish the rest then go open up Poirot.
I haven't even started looking more into that detective agency boy'
He looked intently remembering the old man's odd orders.
He lifted his hand rubbing his forehead brushing a few hair strands that were in his view.
I need to trim my hair, I'll do that later when I have time to spare for my self.
He closed the remaining files and found himself opening two more files
Okay the next two should be here...
Oh...
He accidentally opened two pictures instead, that had locks on them
the one on the right was a group picture he took with the Miyano's when he was eight.
The one on the left was another group picture he took with his friends at the police academy when he was 22.
Rei smiled looking at the two group pictures.
'If I could go back in time...when all things were well..'
He rested his arm on his computer keyboard, his train of thought broke when he felt something wet and warm on the back of his hand.
Startled he looked down only to find Haro looking at him with an attention seeking face expression.
He softly smiled looking down at the innocent creature longing for his attention.
"Oh it's just you" He gently picked up Haro bringing him closer to his face.
Looking down at his watch he noticed how late it was.
"You must be tired right?" He rubbed Haro's belly with his two thumbs while holding him high up like a baby.
"Barf." Haro let out an excited bark in satisfaction at hearing what his master said.
Looking down once more he noticed three pictures, One of Conan, one of Akai from when he was in the organization, the last one on the left slightly hidden, was a picture of Sherry.
He brought Haro to his chest freeing his left hand, Grasping Sherry's picture.
His eyes softened
'Why..Why'd you have to die, So soon.'
'Shiho...'
He suddenly thought
'If only you were alive..If only, Hell angel's daughter.'
He looked at the kid's picture on the table and at Kudo Shinichi's documented file report.
'If only, If my theory's correct...'
He scuffed breaking that last thought
'Sleep deprivation must be getting to me.'
Looking up, exhaling deeply.
'I really should go to sleep...'
--
"Oi, Oi Haibara!"
Conan waved his hands in exasperation infront of Haibara's face.
"What?" Haibara asked confused.
"What's up with you? You've been spacing out a lot recently.."
"Nothing, just got a weird feeling"
Haibara shrugged, resuming her usual glare after a while.
"What's up with YOU?"
"What?" Conan feigned innocence.
"You've been oddly attentive and caring" Haibara started.
Conan straightend himself
Crap, has she got me figured out?
"The only reason I could think of that would be..."
"You want the antidote."
Haibara said annoyed with a raised brow.
Conan looked at her nervously before admitting
"You're right" Conan said sheepishly
Haibara scuffed turning away before that brat had started his excuses. she grabbed the tv remote from the coffee table then
after a while she gave in saying
"The answer's already No, But what is it this time" She nonchalantly said flipping through various channels.
"We'll it's for the new Suzuki cruise ship-" Conan started when suddenly the TV lit up showing the new campaign for the newly built luxurious Suzuki Ship.
Haibara sighed
"Eh, You're helpless, Well you can keep dreaming as much as you like" Haibara relaxed her shoulders looking out at the detective boys playing in the front yard.
"Alright here are the cookies and the tea!" The Professor walked in, saying excitedly.
Noticing Conan's disappointed look after overhearing their bickering.
"Oi Shinichi don't tell me your're actually serious"
The Professor said, flashing a you-should-know-better- look
"You've already went back to being Shinichi not long ago, on that school trip and got yourself in trouble…Besides you know how serious Ai-kun can be"
Haibara narrowed her eyes at the Professor's remark.
The Proffesor felt chills going up his spine.
'Looks like I'm in trouble,' he thought.
"Yea, I know" Conan slumped back on the couch
"Am I really surprised, I mean it's Haibara we're talking about-" Suddenly a Slipper flew hitting Conan straight on on the head
"Each time you transform back as Kudo Shinichi you leave a mess for me and the Proffesor to clean up, You're just like a child, Kudo-kun"
Haibara said flashing him her iconic Sarcastic salty look. The young girl folded her arms looking away once more.
"Yeah, Yeah I know!... But this time really I won't-"
"Who said they'll be a 'This time'" haibara cut him off, using quotation marks for the 'This time'.
She picked up a tea cup sipping it and thanking the professor.
Looking over the kitchen counter, spotting a big batch of cookies lazily hidden.
'Geez, he didn't even try to hide them.'
"I hope you're not planning on eating all of those Proffesor" Haibara snidely remarked peaking an eye open, before taking another sip.
"You caught me" The Proffesor slumped his shoulders down in defeat,
'I thought she'd be distracted with getting mad at Shinichi. Now I'm facing her wrath too.'
"Kids come over and eat some freshly baked cookies! There's an extra batch to take home too!" Haibara Called over the kids.
'Oi, Oi,' the professor thought.
"Yay" the kids cheered running in.
"Don't forget to take off your shoes" Haibara remarked like a doting mother.
"Hai!" (yes!)
Genta ran in first almost tripping and
Shoving Conan out of the way, Genta picked up a couple cookies stuffing them in
"Oi, Oi" Conan was now on the floor, flashing Genta an annoyed look.
"No, fair you'll finish them all!" Mitsuko said(Okay idk how the hell to spell his name)
"Kojima-kun! slow down you'll choke"
It was already too late the glutinous child had already began coughing vigorously.
"Ah! Here drink some tea"
Ayumi said, sitting down next to Genta.
Aggressively grabbing the tea cup, Genta had began shoving it down, burning his tongue in the process
"Ah! Hot! Hot!"
Conan Rolled his eyes getting up
The professor came in giving him a cool glass of water
"Arigat-" Genta immediately grabbed it and once more chugging it down like a cave man.
"Ah! Much better, Now I'll go back to eating-"
"Kojima-kun, I think You've had enough" Haibara chided.
"That's right! Besides you spilled tea all over the cookies as well!"
Mitsuhiko affirmed
Genta pouted acting like he'd been starved for a century.
Suddenly the doorbell rung
"Proffesor have you invited anyone over?" Conan nonchalantly asked
"Ah, yes it's here!" The professor ran out with Ayumi following as well.
'It must be that nosy Subaru next door,'Haibara sarcastically thought to her self taking another sip.
"Ah!"
Ayumi squeaked
"Did something happen?" Conan said concerned
"It's that handsome man from Poriot!"
Conan flashed a half smile to himself
'Oi,Oi him too? Shouldn't he busy with his five-hundred something Jobs and personas?'
Conan sarcastically remarked to himself.
"Ah...Actually Agasa-san orderd my cake as a surprise"
"Heh-he" The proffesor rubbed the back of his neck.
As soon as Haibara heard that Man's fake chirpy voice She froze for a moment before getting up and excusing her self. 'Him!? What's he doing here?!'
"Oi, Haibara don't you want some cake?" Conan curiously asked before remembering that Haibara would much rather avoid Bourbon, as he's a black organization agent.
'I'll use this chance to work on the antidote, after all a new package with the supplies I need came in.'
'This just might be the breakthrough I've been waiting for...'
Haibara thoughtfully hoped
Conan hadn't even thought of telling Haibara Amuro Tooru's aka Bourbon's real identity.
"Amuro-san! Why don't you come in, we're playing games!" Ayumi excitedly said jumping up and down with Genta doing the same
"Ah...I don't think that's a good idea after all Amuro-san must be working" Mitsuhiko said disappointed
"Aww" Ayumi pouted
Amuro bent down and patted her head
"Maybe next time" Amuro winked
"I've added a next touch to the cake as well"
Rei looked over noticing a small figure opening a door and going down to what seems like a stairway
Hmm..It's that strawberry haired girl…Haibara ai…
"Amuro-San?" Ayumi tilted her head
The little girl's voice brought Rei back to reality
"Oh..sorry"
"Anyway, come by Poriot sometime" Amuro continued before getting up and excusing himself.
'I don't have time to be getting distracted, I still have to get back to work.'
"Right! We will!" Ayumi jumped up once again after regaining hope. The kids waved goodbye.
Amuro faked smiled nodding.
Coming back to the living room the kids sat down waiting excitedly for the cake reveal.
"Yay! Amuro-San said he updated the cake!"
'An NPA agent really has nothing to do than to bake cakes and update them
Amuro-san as usual sure is dedicated to his work whatever it may be.'
Conan's train of thought broke noticing Ayumi's reaction at her remembrance of The blond man.
'Oi don't tell me she's in love with him,
Amuro-San definitely has a lot of fangirls…of all ages
'Kids these days….'
with that Conan grabbed a slice and tasted it.
"Yum!!!!" They all said in reunion
"Ah! Where's Ai-Chan? I'd feel bad if she didn't taste this!" Ayumi asked
"ah...well she felt a little tired"
Conan lied
"Aw..I hope she feels better..."
"We'll save her some! After all this cake tastes like heaven!"
"Even better!" Both Genta and Ayumi said in reunion and grabbing seconds.
apologies haven't updated in a while didn't think some people actually might read it, I'm glad. But Dw all these months I haven't forgotten abt Reishi I've been working on a a couple chapters, what went wrong is that I initially wanted to jump straight into the confrontation between Rei and Sherry but after publishing the first chapter I kinda wanted some build up before hand so I created chapters 'before' the ship meetup I just needed to connect it. Ik confusing im really sorry but anyway yeah I hope you like it, if you have any future ideas even if it's silly or small it's appreciated
