Opening 09

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Ran, I…"

"Shinichi…Y-you c-can't leave me! Please! I'll do whatever it takes to be with you! Please…" She sobbed harder as she sank her face in her hands. "Y-you know that I love you, right? Shinichi…"

"But..I may never be able to return to my old self!" Conan stood up and faced her. He touched her hands to remove it from her face. "I know you'll wait for me but…I'm also aware that you might give up…And also, this is the only way to save you…Because I—I love you, too…very much! I love you more than anything in this world and----"

"If you can't return, then I'll take the risk." Then she took out something from her pocket and swallowed it. Conan noticed it as…

'Oh God no…Haibara!'

"Please don't blame Ai-chan..I knew it all along and asked her how…"She clutched her chest as she began to steam. "Even thought it ended up like this, I don't blame her. Instead, I thank her…For letting me be with you…"She curled like a kitten in the sofa still clutching her chest.

"So, it really hurts." She said. 'aaahhh!' "It feels that I'm really going to die."

"Ran!" Conan touched her face and wiped her sweat. "You don't really have to do this…It's all because of me…" 'The reason why she took the Apotoxin…is…me.' He had a sorrowful, sad, pitiful face. He almost cried.

'Doshite?'

Minute by minute, Ran's body steamed and Conan knows what's going on. Her bones are beginning to shrink. All of her. Conan thought it was horrible.

Then it stopped.

Now, a pale little girl lay in front of him. Her clothes were loose. One of her shoulders was bare and her blouse looked like a dress for her. She stirred.

"Shin-Shinichi?" Ran said weakly as she struggled to sit up.

"Ran…" The he embraced her quickly and stumbled on the sofa. "I don't know what to do! They might find you! I'm so scared…that I'll lose you…I'm sorry! Now…You'll also have to suffer…I'm sorry…I'm sorry…" Shinichi buried his head on Ran's neck. He cried and cried. As for Ran…

"I don't care."

"Nani?"

"I don't care if that organization will hunt us down. I don't care if I die. I don't care…If I lose it all…I love you and I'll always be on your side. So..please..don't ever leave me again…" Then tears formed in her blue orbs.

"Ran…After all I have done…You still love me? I lied to you for a long time…I saw you do everything…Crying over me…everything…I love you, too…but…Am I deserving for you?"

"As I've said…I don't care…You didn't lied for no reason, right? So it's okay for now…"

"But…Is THIS okay for you? Being a child again?"

"Of course! Because you're with me, everything's going to be fine!" She gave him a very sweet, warm smile.

'Ran…' Then he hugged her again." I promise…I promise I'll never leave you again."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ran and Conan went to Professor Agasa's house.

"Agasa-hakase! I'm---I mean we're here!"

"Oh…Sh---Conan-kun! I see, you brought a 'friend'." Professor lookes at their hands.

"So Shinichi-kun, I thought Ran is the only one for you?" He whispered to Conan.

"Oh…Haibara didn't tell you yet. Of course, she is!" Ran blushed.

"Oh, Ohayo Kudo-kun, I know you will kill me now, but save it for later. Ohayo Mouri-san, I suppose you followed you heart. Oh great…Love does it all."

Conan glared at her. 'Damn you Haibara, but..well…I guess I'll save it for next time. '

"Mouri-san? But I don't see---" Professor Agasa looked slowly to the little girl with Conan. "Her?"

"Ohayo Agasa-hakase." Ran bowed. Then she turned to Haibara. "Arigatou and Ohayo Ai-chan." She smiled and bowed again. "I owe you everything."

"Don't owe me anything, Mouri-san. It's my fault about all those things."

"Ran-kun! What did you do to yourself!? And---" Agasa-hakase touched her head. "I guess I'll better not ask."

"I'll talk to Haibara. I think I have to know everything." Then he glared again at Haibara who was smirking at that moment.

"Shinichi…"

"No, no…I'll just talk about THINGS…" Then Conan and Haibara went to her lab.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"What were you thinking!? Giving her that!? You, of all the people, know how much danger it will be!" Conan shouted at her.

"Kudo-kun. Yes of all the people. I'm really aware of that." Haibara remained calm.

"The organization is still right there! And by now, they might know about us from Vermouth! And when they know about her…and do something to her…I don't know what I will do…" He said sadly.

"She asked for it. She begged me to give her the drug. I don't know who gave the information to her but I didn't tell anything. And I'm also shocked when she called me by my true name." She said. "Anyway, she knew everything so I didn't pretend. About the APTX-4869, Kudo-kun, it's better because Ran will be the next target of the Organization."

"But---"

"Kudo-kun. You can protect her more if she's with you. You're a child and she's an adult? I don't know. But if she's like us, you can watch her well. I suppose that you've calmed down."

"I'm sorry Haibara. I got carried away. But Ran's very kind. While she's shrinking, she always tells me not to blame you. That she has to thank you from everything. Even if you are acting cold towards her, she gave you a very warm response."

Haibara's bangs covered her eyes. "I know that. She reminds her of my onee-chan. Now Kudo-kun, go to her right now." She went to her computer and started typing. "I'll do whatever it takes to save you two and all my friends. I'm gonna pay for all of my sins to everyone." She turned to him. "I'm going to give thanks for everything my means of getting the right solution to this problem." She smiled. A very sweet and angelic rare smile from Haibara. Determination burning in her eyes.

"Thank you, Haibara." Then he ran upstairs and met up with Ran.

'Do whatever it takes, Kudo-kun. And I'll do everything, even if I risk my own life, to save you all.'

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Shinichi!" Ran walked towards him. "I told you not to blame her! I heard you shout…"

"I'm sorry Ran, I didn't have the time to control myself. But it's okay now. I said sorry to her." He scratched his head. "And she said that she's working now so don't disturb her."

"Oh. So Shinichi, who knows the truth?"

"Huh?"

"I mean THESE things about your identity."

"uumm…Hattori : he tricked me, Professor : he's the one I ran to after the incident, KID: really, I don't know how, Haibara: she's the creator of the drug, Mom and Dad: Mom disguised as Fumiyo Edogawa and 'kidnapped' me." Conan counted one by one. "And you." Conan knows what will happen next.

"Oh…so, of all the people…I'm not allowed to know those things?" She sighed. "But it's okay, Shinichi. I forgive you."

Shinichi's eyes widened. "You're not gonna whack me or something? You're not mad with me?"

"Silly. Of course am not! Anyway, most of the people who found out 'tricked' the Heisei Holmes of the 21st Century…" She chuckled a bit and smiled.

"Hey, hey" He sweat dropped, "But, thank you, Ran." He embraced her leaving Ran in shock.

"Shin—Shinichi…" Then she embraced back.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Hey Shinichi…Umm..I know that it's my fault but…" Ran started.

"What's your fault? It's all mine---"

"Will I tell my parents about this?" She looked at the boy beside him. "When I'm gone, otou-san wouldn't have somebody to rely on…And okaa-san….I hope she'll not hire somebody to find me…They will be worrying sick about me…"

"Do you regret this Ran?" He bowed down his head a little.

"Of course not! I'm not stupid to drink that thing without thinking…But I really didn't think about my parents...Maybe I'm just being tired or something of getting them back together."

Then Shinichi held her hand. "I'm glad. And maybe you're right, you must be tired. C'mon, let's go to my house. Let's rest there. You'll start school tomorrow. Don't worry Agasa-hakase will fix your documents." Then he wrapped his arm to her shoulders and accompanied her.

"Agasa-hakase, Haibara! We're leaving!" Then they left.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
