Ran was sweet visiting every single day.

Rather too sweet that it was overwhelming to a point that it started to get annoying.

But she needed to grief and Ran being with her there was not allowing her to do that.

Ran was bringing her a bento box for every single meal of the day as she was not overly satisfied with hospital food. Or rather Ran wasn't happy with the kind of meal that she was served, thinking there was not enough attention or love that had been put into the meal. She loved Lemon Pie but she had to eat another single one then she was going to be sick.

All of it was specially made for her diet that the hospital had put her own. She would have to gain some weight and regain her strength if there were any hopes of her getting back to normal.

Ran wasn't allowing her to drink caffeine substance such as coffee because it was not good enough for her and she needed to get back to her full health again.

The way Ran was treating her was the same way that she had treated Christie again. This was a classic case of Displacement.

Ra's displacement already started when and because of her parents' separation. This was because being lacking the daily love of her mother and Ran needed a place to find it. And Ran found first found this when she had to take care of her alcoholic father that would need her help. From getting the shopping needed, doing the house cleaning and making the meals. She even took care of the bills from the money that was not spent on chain smoking, alcohol and bets. She had taken care of him as if he was a mere child and she was the adult, making Ran having to grow up too fast.

Ran suffered from co-dependency as a result of trying to have a relationship with people her own age. And she was subject number one and then subject number two. She did not want to fall back into old routines again for the sake of the both them. She knew that if she did lean on Ran she would end up leaning on her too much in the future and the co-dependency would kick in again.

Just when she was getting her life together again as Kudo Shinichi things were difficult for Ran because she was missing Christie, and she needed someone to take care of. And this was difficult for Ran because even her Dad was getting his shit together and doing well with his life. This meant that Ran did not have someone to take care of and this was what she needed, so she tried to take of Shinichi. But because of the lies and deceit that she had told Ran she had avoided her and kept up a wall between the two of them and thus Ran had no one.

Ran needed someone in her life to love so that she could feel loved and be loved. It was in her nature to a caring person to a point that it would make her cry about the simplest of things. But she was better off taking care of herself and that was what Shinichi wanted to give Ran the time she needed to find an identity of her own without having to take care of someone. That was what was happening when she avoided her when she came back and was working.

Ran was the one that needed to get her shit together more than anyone else, and she needed to have someone help her instead. She was trying to make was that Ran needed some distance from her. But she knew Ran to well and it was going to take a lot for Ran to make the separation for while.


She was too tired to do anything right now and just needed some time to rest and…

"Good Evening Kudo-Kun" said a voice that she recognized all too well.

And just like he promised he had brought more roses along with him.

"I startled you," he said surprised.

He was not dressed in usual Kaitou Kid gear but instead dark clothing of jeans and jacket with a grey top to go along with it. And a baseball cap stealthy covering his face. Even worse he was wearing bright and white trainers with a dove on them. His way of a cheeky way of telling who he really was and what he was doing.

He was now replacing the roses with the ones that were starting to wilt. She did not want her unwelcomed visitor that had stopped her process train of thought.


He had to wait for the Mouri girl to finally leave so that he could enter without being harassed or questioned by the powerful girl.

He had already seen her take out two people that were undercover report that were trying to take a sneak peak of Kudo Shinichi. And he could still see the dent in the wall that had met with her fists as a warning shot and the broken cameras to go along with it. She was a one woman army to keep the media and other unwelcomed visitors away from Kudo.

It was already past visiting hours and security had gotten tighter lately. Kudo was now in a private section of the Hospital that he did not even know has existed until now. It was very private, and you had to have a special key to enter from the lift to get there. He was a magician he could easily get where he needed if need be. He always did, and nothing was going to stop him.

And anyway he was now volunteering at the Hospital as himself, Kuroba Kaito. He was here to entertain the little fans/kids that needed a much needed cheering up. And they were all massive fans, including staff members too. He was finally able to get away from them and visit someone that needed some cheering up. Or even someone they could take all their emotions (anger) out on and find some way to help her grief.

But he was here to help someone that needed his help.

He knew when he was unwelcomed by Detectives because they all have many different types of looks that they would give him from surprise to distain was the usual ones.

"Good Evening Kudo-Kun" said Kaito calmly and politely.

He had his poker face on, and it was ready for anything.

He bowed politely and then changed the roses before she could speak a single word. He was really hoping that she would not have him arrest or even seat a trap for him.

Now what magic trick could he do to impress the Detective?

'Detective'

A word that he had previously called her and the reaction he had gotten from her was not good. He had also heard that other people had called her it or something similar and she had snapped at them because of it. And she basically lost what she had of a voice and was barely speaking at all now. So, he dare not call her it now.

Kudo-Kun just rolled her eyes at him.

"Hey," he said annoyed.

He unknowingly started to pout.

"Don't fall asleep on me," he said childishly.

Shinichi just yawned and decided it would be better to go to sleep rather than have a conversation with Kaitou Kid.

"OI!" said KID sounding even more annoyed.

And Shinichi was now sound asleep.

Kaito blew out hot air annoyed with the sleep detective that was peacefully sleeping right in front of him. Sleeping Kogoro was already annoying enough and he did not want to deal with another one that would knock out like a light so easily.

"Huh?" he said staring at the sleeping detective.

He was no mad and just sulking instead.

"She sleeps like Tantei-Kun," he said to himself.

Mouth left opened and already starting to drool. It looked like she was having a decent night's sleep and looked almost relaxed. And she actually looked her age instead of looking older and wiser than she actually was. Looking at her was starting to make him yawn and fee very tired. It had been a long day for him, and it was starting to get late. He could always come back another day.

He was tired and he needed his sleep. He just tucked the detective in (making sure she was actually asleep) before he left the room.

"See you later, maybe next time we can meet under the moonlight," said KID before leaving.

His Heist will be tomorrow night, and he would return to visit the detective then. He did always need to give someone the diamond that he knew that he could trust to give it back to the proper people.

He will annoy the detective until she has talked to him or at least tries to have him arrested. And this made him wonder if there was a cell in a hospital. And what they actually do with the people they arrest or detain. He was really hoping that he would not end up in a jail cell.


He was gone and she was finally alone.

She was used to pretending to go asleep when she was Christie and was rather good at it. But pretending to be asleep does tend to make you feel sleepy. She opened her eyes and sat back slumping in her bed.

Yawn

"Surprise, surprise the girl lies."

She jumped at the sound of his voice.

He was smiling at her and holding balloons.

"I hate cheap tricks," she said annoyed.

He was not going to leave anytime soon. Dealing with him was like dealing with an actual child. You give them the attention they so desperately needed until they tire themselves out.

Lies that she is asleep and lies in her bed,"

He said annoying her while wagging his finger as if she was in trouble with him.
