De-appreciated.
This is how Conan felt. He was standing alone in a nearby football field, dribbling the soccer ball, and Ran was sitting on the benches, watching him with a sad look.
He was feeling annoyed with everything related to the Organization and the poison. Masumi and her antics, to get the antidote, Amuro moving around him to get information. And with the FBI, CIA agents, and police officers he knew, all talk was serious; murder, organization, etc.
Haibara doesn't seem to understand him a lot when it came to anything not involving Organization nor murder. Heiji was busy, trying to confess to Kazuha, and his stupid cousin was busy planning his next heist.
He honestly, sometimes think, the only person who understood him and knew everything was Ran. For yes, he told her everything, but he never told anyone about this, knowing how everyone would disagree for real.
And he didn't want to think about his parents, who suddenly remembered he existed.
Conan frowned as he kicked the soccer ball very high. The ball then landed in front of his feet as he cried, "Eagle Drive!".
He kicked the ball, and it glowed blue as it flew forward, before it flew upwards then took a direction to land downwards, entering the net.
"You haven't lost the ability to do a Hissatsu, Shinichi.", Ran said with a soft smile, recalling the old days.
"Woah!". Ran looked behind her and her eyes widened.
"Perfect Hissatsu!", The newcomer said, making Conan look at him, and his eyes widened once he saw who it was, and who was with him.
"Everyone!", Ran cried happily.
"Ran-chan!", The two girls dashed towards her and engulfed her in a group hug.
"Haruna-chan! Natsumi-chan!", Ran greeted her old friends.
"How have you been, Ran-chan?", Raimon Natsumi asked as they broke the hug.
"It's been three years since we last saw you!", Otonashi Haruna added.
"I've been well! I've really missed you guys.", Ran said happily before she looked at the guys, "It's been awhile too, Mamuro-kun, Yuuto-kun!".
Endou Mamoru smiled widely as he rubbed the back of his head, "Yeah, three years huh?".
"A lot has happened for everyone, I suppose.", Kidou Yuuto said as he looked at Conan.
'There is only one person I know who has that Hissatsu shot.', Kidou thought.
Conan was busy, on the other hand, seeing the changes on his old friends. Endou's hair was slightly longer and spikier, and he wore an orange shirt with a white collar, a white jacket with brown accents and orange stripes going down the sleeves, and dark blue jeans. Natsumi's hair was much shorter, with part of her hair parted to the front, and not as wavy as before, wearing a pink hoodie with blue shirt underneath, white pants and black shoes. Haruna hadn't changed at all, wearing a white shirt with cream jacket, short gray pants and black heeled shoes. Kidou has his hair kept longer and only partially tied up, and now wore a large pair of sunglasses with green lenses. His outfit consisted of a gray coat, gray pants, a red tie, and burgundy shoes.
Seeing those four, brought back old memories. Fond memories. When he moved next to Raimon Middle School and lived with his uncle and adopted cousin; Kudou Michiya and Fuyuka. When he joined Raimon's soccer team and first met Endou, winning Football Frontier with them, facing Aliea Academy, and winning the Football Frontier International.
"Oi, kid! Wanna play soccer?", Endou called for Conan.
The shrunken detective found himself smiling widely as he nodded, "Sure!".
"Come on, Kidou!", Endou called as he ran down the field and stood as a goalkeeper.
Kidou calmly walked down and stood next to Conan, without saying anything.
"Come on, try to score!", Endou called.
Kidou took the chance and immediately stole the ball from Conan, and ran towards Endou.
"Oi!", Conan yelled as he ran towards Kidou. His eyes widened once he saw a change in Kidou's feet and movement, deducing what was Kidou about to do right now.
Kidou kicked the ball high upwards, back flipping while doing so. Conan immediately jumped very high, and hit the ball back down with his head to Kidou, and the latter dashed forward and kicked the ball while crying, "Twin Boost!".
Endou smiled widely as his hands glowed bright orange-yellow and cried, "Nekketsu (Hot-Blooded) Punch!", he punched the ball rapidly before sending one hard punch, sending the ball flying high upwards.
Conan received the ball on his chest, and performed his Hissatsu again, "Eagle Drive!".
He watched as the ball moved in the upward direction, just as he felt someone dash beside him, and his eyes widened once he saw him jump high, spin around himself with fire engulfing him like a tornado, as he cried, "Fire Tornado!".
And kicked the now blue fireball towards Endou.
Endou then summoned a demon-like gold muscular avatar with red crown like head, Endou's fist glowed gold as he jumped and cried, "Ikari no Tettsui (Hammer Of Wrath)!", slamming his fist like a hammer on the soccer ball into the ground, stopping the kick.
Conan smiled once the teen who kicked the ball after him landed on the ground. He didn't change much since four years ago, his skin only slightly got darker.
"I'm not late as usual, am I?", Gouenji Shuuya asked with a smile.
"I didn't think you'd join us in visiting Ran-chan and Kudo, honestly.", Endou shrugged as he picked up the ball.
"So what do you call this Hissatsu, Kudo?", Kidou slightly smirked at Conan, "And don't bother trying to deny it. I'd recognize your style anywhere, and no can use Eagle Drive anyway.".
"I wish it was a Hissatsu, but it's just bad luck really.", Conan scoffed.
"WAIT! YOU'RE KUDO?!", Endou cried in disbelief. The three sweat dropped at Endou's reaction.
"I thought you figured it out from his Hissatsu and style…", Kidou mumbled.
"You can be dumb sometimes, Endou…", Gouenji sighed.
"You mean in anything not soccer related.", Conan commented dryly.
"Oi! If I was that dumb, Natsumi-chan wouldn't have become my girl!", Endou defended himself.
Natsumi's face blushed once Ran cheered, "You guys are a couple! Finally!".
"Were we that obvious?", Natsumi mumbled.
"You mostly, Endou… well… was busy being Endou.", Haruna joked.
"You seriously need to start explaining why are you back as an elementary student again.", Endou said confused.
"It's dangerous for you guys to know, but I don't think you'll take no for an answer.", Conan said seriously.
"We've faced dangers together, so we can handle it!", Endou said confidently.
"I'm just glad I saw you guys again…", Conan said happily.
"Well, you better find a way to get your body back soon, because everyone would like to see you on that day.", Kidou smiled.
"Day?".
"They're holding some sort of event and celebration for the best players of the Football Frontier.", Gouenji explained, "Everyone from Raimon will be there.
"And so were the others from Teikoku, Zeus, and even the guys from Aliea Academy, who have formed their own official soccer team.", Kidou added.
"Hey, even the guys we met in FFI will be there; Edgar, Rocco, Fidio, everyone!", Endou added.
This is it. This is what Conan wanted these days. People who knew him and liked him as Shinichi, who would not talk about murders or dangerous criminal syndicates, but would talk about the best thing in life for him next to mystery; soccer.
He really needs to tell Haibara to give him the temporary antidote.
"I'll be there!".
