Aaaah.. so this is it :D

I can't even believe I finished this.. I'm so happy, now I'm going to continue one of my other stories.. but first.. this is what I call afterwords!

I haven't really thought of this ending, at first I was really curious, would this be a KaiCon or ShinRan.. in the end, ShinRan won actually, but I reconsidered, wich I'm happy about.. this story might acutally be one of my favorites.. I really liked writing this one because it was easier.. there was also some stuf I probably need to explain as well, Conan has developed a psychic ability and immortality.. Kaito, even though it was never mentioned because of the lack of Heists.. but he can now do real magic and uses this on his heists as KID and being immortal to them, means that they can quite literary burn up every little bit of their body and they will return.. hohoho.. I feel a little evil that way.. those two will live together forever.. even when earth is destroyed.. ahahaha.. wonder where they'd go? oh well.. that's not for another story..

I never thought it'd end this way though, so much to explain... this story reached 84 pages in total.. I'm so happy I managed to write so much.. just this chapter is on 9 pages X9

So then.. enjoy this last chapter in Kodomo no Himitsu.. =^_^=

Chapter 15.

Goodbye.

Kaito shouted for his love's name, but received no answer.

"Damn it.." he jumped away from some dust, revealing Conan, sitting by some rumble, a single, white hand sticking out that Conan was holding. Every fiber in Kaito's body screamed murder and anger, but he forced himself to hide it for now, he needed to get Conan away. He bounced quite literary over to him and pulled him up, Conan, in his shock yelped.

"Kaito!"

"Come on!"

"NO!" Conan protested and reached out for the hand.

"Shinichi!" Kaito shook the teen hard. No answer came from the other teen, Kaito gritted his teeth and glared hard.

"If you stay longer you'll be buried under this building.." Conan wriggled and tried to get out of the thief's grip. It went on for so long Kaito actually became angry at the detective. A slap later and Conan was staring wide-eyed at him.

"Shinichi.. stop being so fucking selfish! Do you think she had wanted you to die too!" Kaito yelled at the teen, Conan stared back before he slumped against the thief.

"No.." it was so low it could barely be a whisper, but it was more than enough for Kaito, who wrapped an arm around Conan and lead him gently towards the exit, the sirens of the fire truck being very loud as Kaito watched Shuichi point to an alley. So they went there before anyone could see the thief and the detective together.

Kaito forced Conan to sit down and he stared into his eyes. Shuichi had walked out of the alley to give them so time and also let them talk.

"Shinichi" his voice was so soft and gentle that Conan reacted at once.

"Hm?"

"I'm sorry" Kaito backed off, Conan's eyes widened as he also stood up.

"What do you mean Kaito?"

"I know I can't replace Ran-chan.. and that it's impossible, being thief and you detective, for us to be together too, and your in danger too... I'm sorry" Kaito backed off even more. Conan reached out for him, but Kaito continued to back off.

"Kaito.." Conan's voice was low and pleaded, Kaito's eyes showed that he wanted nothing but the embrace him, but he didn't dare.

"I.. goodbye Shinichi" Conan's eyes widened yet again and he ran after Kaito.

"Wait.. Kaito!" Conan shouted, but Kaito took off before he could do anything more. Conan slumped to the ground as he felt tears well up in his eyes, he had sworn the day that he turned into fourteen, that he'd never cry again, but that was damn hard.

"No one can replace you either.. I don't want to lose you too! BASTARD!" he screamed after the thief, but wasn't heard. Tears fell down and Conan let out a low sob. Shuichi ignored this as Jodie finally found him.

"Where's.." was all she managed before Shuichi stopped her, he pointed at Conan with his thumb, then he walked away.

"I know how hard it is the lose the one you love" he just said and Jodie stared at him before he turned to Conan, who had covered his face with his hands. His shoulders shaking hard.

"What happened?" Jodie asked herself, then she gasped as she understood. But what would make the thief leave Conan just like that! Suddenly the sound of a gun shoot sizzled through the air and Jodie jerked around as she saw a white clad in front of the teen fall to the ground, on top of Conan if added, his face in complete shock as he hit the ground, the thief coughed up blood and then he fell silent, Jodie screamed and ran over to the two boys. Shuichi quickly by her side as well, winced as Jodie removed Kaito for a second, but stopped when she saw something she'd probably never forget. The bullet had gone through Conan's body too, well through his heart, yet he was alive, breathing and only wincing in pain. Kaito too, they where breathing although they're hearts had been penetrated and their lungs destroyed. Conan looked up at Kaito with a dreadful look.

"Why do you always have to mess things up!" he asked.

"Thank you very much, I try hard!" Kaito commented, slightly annoyed. But Conan didn't seem to care, not that both Jodie and Shuichi was watching either, because the next thing that happened was that Conan pulled the thief into a deep kiss. Said thief just gawked into the kiss, but didn't seem to mind it, Jodie gawked as well, Shuichi just dragged her away so the two could have some minutes to themselves, it wasn't like they'd die yet it seemed.

"Bastard.. why did you say goodbye then!" Conan asked as they parted for some seconds, Kaito had, in the act pulled Conan up, carried him out of range from a rifle, then pressed him against a wall. Conan was pretty sure Kaito had developed a new habit.

"Don't ask please.. it's kind of hard.. to explain" Kaito stated between small kisses.

"But.."

"Shhh.. I'm happy you accept me though.. although I don't dare to let them see you with me, they'd use you against me"

"They did that with your mother?" Kaito's expression turned hurt and Conan regretted it at once.

"Sorry"

"It's okay, she died protecting me" he kissed Conan again and earned a moan.

"Kaito.. now's not the time.. ah.." another moan escaped him and Conan turned beet red. Kaito smirked against the other's lips.

"Love you.." Kaito whispered. Conan looked into his eyes and smiled.

"You too.. then you don't dare to say stuff like that again!" Kaito smiled nervously.

"Yes.." he kissed the teen again as they heard someone cough hard. They both turned and turned equally from white to deep red.

"Ya know Kudou.. that was.. shockin'!" well, wasn't that a shocking outcome indeed, the two stared at the other two teen boys at the same age of Kaito.

"Hakuba?"

"Hattori?"

They where at the FBI's base, as Conan called it, Kaito still in his thief outfit, but Hakuba didn't even seem to notice him, in fact, he was like Heiji, more keen on knowing why he and Conan was kissing. Well, Conan refused to answer at first, when Heiji threatened to tell Hakuba his secret, Conan kicked him hard and went to sit beside Kaito, who smirked to the detective from the west, who was glaring back.

"Oi.. Kudou!" Heiji complained, but Conan ignored him.

"Hakuba-san.. why where you and Hattori together?" Hakuba raised an eyebrow.

"We where not together.. we simply met on our way towards the house that exploded" this said, Conan turned very sad. Only Kaito understood why and glared accusingly at Hakuba.

"Thanks for reminding him!" he stated and the two stared back.

"What? Somethin' happened?" Heiji asked and Conan nodded.

"Ran.. is dead!" this sentence took them aback, Heiji blinked at him.

"What?" he asked. Conan sighed as his eyes showed only sadness and grief.

"Ran was in that building.. also that old man was" Heiji gasped and then he looked down.

"I'll never be able to 'ell Kazuha that!" Heiji stated and Hakuba did the most unexpected thing in the world. He laid a hand on Heiji's shoulder and patted him gently.

"It's okay if you tell her the truth right?" he stated, Heiji stared at him and for that moment, their hatred from each other was at a pause as Heiji nodded, suddenly they heard a low sob and Kaito gasped.

"Kudou!" Heiji was quickly by the smaller detective's side. Kaito shook his head.

"I don't think it matters now... but I think, the reason he is so much more hurt is because he never got to tell Ran-chan the truth" Heiji nodded understanding, Hakuba though, who had stayed in the background, came forth.

"What truth?" well, three of four in that room froze, just then, Jodie entered the room.

"Cool kid, someone's here.. they want to speak with you" she stated, Conan stood up, dried his face and nodded. When he reached the door he turned to the rest of the boys.

"Don't murder Kaito while I'm away.. his important to both me and to this mission" then he closed the door. The one who awaited him was no other than Ran's mother, Kisaki Eri, she was a beautiful, but scary woman, now she looked weak, sad and over hurt. When she saw Conan, the first thing she did was to lift him up, he almost expected her to hit him, but she didn't.

"Thank God not everyone died" she said, hugging him hard, tears flowing down her face, he looked away and bit his under lip.

"Ran-neechan shouldn't have died, not Oji-san either.. I'm sorry.. it's all my fault" Eri looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

"They where killed to lure me out" Conan managed to get out of her hug and backed off.

"I wanted to tell Ran this too.. I was never able to and that I regret so much I can barely stand it" Conan stated, Eri stared at him as he took a deep breath.

"This is something though, I want you to keep secret.. as a lawyer you know how the system works.. I do too, but in a different ways.. as of now I've been assassinated at least ten times this last year and it's all because of who I am.. I've been using people around me, using weapons to get my way and also impersonating another identity, and you might want to add helping a famous international wanted thief!" Conan stated and Eri gawked at him.

"What?" she repeated. Conan sighed.

"Okay.. I'll make it simple.. my name isn't Edogawa Conan.." she furrowed her eyebrows.

"You aren't.. Conan?"

"No.. I'm Shinichi.. remember? Kudou Shinichi! And this is the second time today I'm saying so.. please don't ask much more.. I think there's another one who needs an explanation" he stated, suddenly he jerked around, he could basically feel the anger seeping down the hall.

"That idiot!" he growled, but Eri stopped him.

"You are.. that brat?" Conan ignored the nick name and smiled nervously at her.

"Yes.. I am, now I have to leave.. I have to save an idiot from two murderous detective's" he stated, Eri stared after him.

"Why didn't you tell them earlier?" Conan looked at her.

"Why? Because I was afraid Ran would hate me.. and for Oji-san.. he'd most probably murder me" Eri didn't protest to that.

"Shinichi!" it was most definitely a whine, but also a plead, so much was obvious as a large, white clad jumped him, then used him as a shield as Heiji and Hakuba appeared. Oh, if the situation outside hadn't been so serious, Conan would have laughed! Hakuba's hair was blue, matching her eyes perfectly, Heiji had turquoise hair, with also matched his eyes, they looked equally angry and Kaito seemed to have caused the trouble they needed to beat the shit out of him. Poor poor thief.

"Kaito.. what did you do!" Conan warned the other, who laughed nervously.

"They began, they wanted to take my monocle and hat off so I just used some tricks to get them away from me"

"It's seems it had the opposite effect"

"I noticed that!" Kaito stated annoyed, he then shook his head.

"Kaitou KID-san.. please come're fer a second" Heiji sweet talked, but Kaito refused, looking deathly afraid. Conan sighed.

"Can't you two stop it, I said to leave him alone didn't I!" Conan stated and the two stared at him.

"Your younger, what can you do about what we do"

"Oh.. when are you born?" Conan asked.

"29th August" Hakuba stated, Heiji stared at Conan with a smirk. Conan looked at Heiji.

"I'm 'n July.. 3rd.." he stated and Conan grinned even more.

"I'm born 4th May.." Heiji groaned.

"Yer always a step ahead aren't ya Kudou!" Conan smiled sweetly and nodded. Hakuba raised an eyebrow as the walked back towards the room they had stayed in, Jodie had taken care of Eri, who still was under shook about Conan.

"You are still just nine Edogawa-kun.. and Hattori-san, why do you keep calling him for Kudou?" Heiji sweat dropped.

"Eh... well..." Heiji began, but Conan just chuckled.

"It's okay Hattori.. I guess he'd be okay to have with us.. and he is trustworthy too" he didn't look at anyone as he walked past them, Ran's death was visible on ever part of his body, Kaito grew worried. They walked into the room again and Kaito sighed.

"If you do, then I guess I should too.. Hakuba is in truth trustworthy.. more than Hattori anyway"

"OI!"

"Your going to.. tell us who.. you are?" Hakuba asked, maybe a little to hopeful.

"I should.. after all, after this, KID will retire.. forever" Kaito stated and Hakuba nodded. Conan walked over to a chair and sat down.

"First.. everything you hear here, you cannot say anything on to other people, this is classified and also dangerous, so if you want to be in danger of loosing everything you can stay"

"I'll stay" well, simple mind doesn't he have?

"Sure.. I'll start then" Kaito said before Conan could do any more. The thief removed his hat and monocle, Hakuba finally sighed while Heiji stared at the teen underneath the stash.

"Ya.. look like Kudou"

"I know.. we're similar.. and that's not the only thing.." he was stopped by Conan's hand on his.

"Later Kaito.."

"Oh yes, my name is Kuroba Kaito, as of now.. an orphan and magician" he sounded a little off when he mentioned that he was an orphan, but they didn't seem to care about that. Hakuba just smirked.

"At least I was right"

"Yeah yeah.. you where right alright! I can't really go up to people like you and say it.. but right now is not really the time to think about that" Kaito sudden serious behaviour caught Hakuba a little off guard, but he didn't show it.

"And you.. Edo-"

"Please don't call me that.. well, when we're outside and around people you have to.. and I know that your different from Heiji, so you wont blabber my name wherever I go"

"OI!" there was a loud protest from the Osaka, but he was ignored, much to his displease.

"Anyway.. as the real me, we haven't met that often.. my true self is the high school detective Kudou Shinichi.." Conan explained as Hakuba's jaw dropped and he stared at Conan in shock.

"So you are.. that.. Kudou-san.. Holmes fan, etc etc?" Hakuba asked and Conan stared at him, then he smiled.

"That's one of the things we have in common Hakuba-san" Conan received a smile, but nothing more as Kaito waved his hand.

"Okay.. back to the original story-line here.. Hakuba, you can't tell anyone of these things.. at all! As for now, those guys trying to murder me and Shinichi.. well, they are from the same organization and if they find out more people know about them, they'll use every resource they have to take them down!" Kaito explained and Hakuba nodded as Kaito changed his attire from KID to himself. Now he wore a close resemblance to Shinichi, except that he wore more teenager like clothes, when Shinichi would use his school uniform with the tie and the whole thing.

"Yes.. Kaito summed it up short.. Hakuba-san?" he stopped when he saw the odd look on Hakuba's face.

"Then.. the story you gave us in the hospital then?"

"It was made up so they wouldn't know I was Shinichi.. there isn't that many that knows about me"

"How many?"

"Er.. let's see.." Conan began counting on his fingers, Haibara, his parents, wich was two, Heiji, Agasa, Kaito, Vermouth, Eri, Hakuba and Eisuke.

"Ten people in all now.. but that's about it.. I think"

"And I understand now too.. about the birthday thing.. your oldest.. then Kaito, then Hattori-san, then me.. right?" Hakuba stated and Conan nodded.

"Yes.." Heiji stared at Kaito.

"Your.. a month ahead!"

"Not really" Conan stated.

"He's born on the 21th.. that would be 13 days older than you.. no more than two weeks" Conan explained with a small smile, Kaito grinned and ran away from a ranting detective, whilst Hakuba just sat down.

"Who are they?"

"They.. are something that should be let loose.. ever again.. that's what I and Kaito is aiming for, we have to take them down once and for all.. both for revenge and for the worlds safety" Conan stated and Heiji stopped.

"Yeah.. that'd be the best.. wait.. what the heck does Kuroba have innit except bein' KID!" Kaito stopped abruptly and stared at him.

"Both my parents where killed by them.. I've lost count on how many times they have threatened, shot, stabbed, hunted, kidnapped and hurt me.. but they always threatened with a murder of a friend or family member if I didn't accept the quest"

"Quest?"

"Pandora.. the gem of Immortality" Conan explained.

"Pandora.. I've heard the name before.. it's the other name of the gem you took from Kudou-san's school" Hakuba stated, Kaito nodded and smirked.

"Oh well.. they never got it anyway" he wavered his hands in a simple carefree action. Heiji stared at him.

"What happened? that was the day Kudou first collapsed" Heiji stated. Conan shook his head slightly and Kaito chuckled.

"That was the Pandora's fault.. it's also the fault to us changing so much"

"Changing?" Hakuba asked. Conan sighed and in the next moment, Kaito dodged a chair being thrown at him without anyone throwing it. Both Hakuba and Heiji stared at it in pure and utter shock.

"What... just happened.. the chair.. moved by itself!" Heiji shouted and backed off. Kaito tried to get the chair off of him by hiding behind the causing this, while the other two didn't look, he kissed Conan, who lost all focus on the chair and it fell to the floor. The two detective's turned to them, but by then Kaito was already across the room, a pissed, red-faced and shrunken detective was after him.

"Kaito.. you damn-"

"Why are you two on first name anyway?" Hakuba asked and both stared at him.

"Pardon?" Conan asked, not really sure what the other had said.

"First name?" Heiji repeated for the other and the two in love turned so deeply red that they wasn't sure how to explain anything.

"First name? Kaito.. you want to try explain it?" Conan challenged, but Kaito backed off with great speed. Conan sighed in defeat.

"Okay.. but I won't leave anything out! When I mean anything, I mean it!" Kaito looked devastated, but Heiji's slightly odd stare made them both stare back.

"Well.. you know my feelings for Kaito right?" they both nodded and Kaito grinned. Conan blushed and looked down.

"It just so happens that.. it wasn't one-sided" well, that threw them both off guard, visible. Heiji nearly collapsed while Heiji had to rub fingers into his ears to make sure he had heard right.

"So.. it happens that your two are-"

"Gay?" Heiji finished for him. Conan gawked.

"Am no such thing.. I have never liked a guy that way before, Kaito is the first one.. and hopefully the only" Conan said, the two didn't seem to believe them at all.

"Hey, Shinichi.. they don't believe us" Kaito pouted and Conan stared at him, for a moment, he forgot Ran and everything else as he grabbed Kaito's collar and kissed him. Well, they did believe them now didn't they, Hakuba almost had to look away while Heiji where about to collaps in laughter. When the two parted, it was very funny to see the two 'straight' guys watch them, oh how funny, Conan actually laughed this made Kaito pick him up while tickling him, Conan where now screaming to no end, pleaded for Kaito stop, Heiji was on the floor, laughing his mirt out while Hakuba was sitting on one of the chairs, sighing.

Three months had gone by since that abnormal meeting with the black organization, Conan hadn't heard from them since, but he knew they where lurking around, that was also why he, Kaito, Hakuba and Heiji had been sent away so no one would be killed, it was set out that they travelled to Germany of all places, but in fact they had been sent to America, in Florida, to a town called Spring Hill, it was a rather small town by the sea in the middle of Florida, where everyone knew everyone, that was why they choose it too, they got new names etc etc and transferred to a local school, Heiji and Shinichi was brothers with different mothers, Shinichi was renamed Ansel Maxwell, Heiji was named Leonard Maxwell, Kaito named Eugene Preston and Hakuba got the name Dexter Norwood. So, they all where rushed to England, Haibara just tagging along as Hakuba's little sister Diane Norwood, no one knew of this and no one would tell. They all settled down pretty fast, all living together, at first it was hard, getting used to the lively, cute couple that lived on the third floor, but thankfully there was an empty room underneath their room, so no one was dusturbed, Heiji, Hakuba and Haibara got each their separate rooms. Thus, the existence of these five humans disappeared. Non of them regretted it at first, Conan and Kaito didn't at least, because they knew their family didn't worry, or Kaito's at least, since they had passed away, but Heiji sometimes worried a lot about his family and Kazuha, if they where safe or doing well, Hakuba seemed to have these worries a lot too, but he never mentioned it, Haibara didn't have any parents either, so she was saved the worry, but she did worry about Agasa's health. It took two month to take down the organization. After that, they could have returned, but they didn't, Kaito continued as KID as well, much to Hakuba's annoyance! Kaito and Conan then moved to San Fransisco.. where they married, thank good they legalized gay marriage. As for Heiji, Kazuha came to visit him and they married three years later. Hakuba remained single for six to seven years until he found someone too, and wasn't just anyone, Haibara had finally managed to make a cure to the poison in her body and she returned, they married as well, a year after they had started dating.

But before they left, they where all invited to Ran and Kogoro's funeral, Eri had forgiven Conan already, seeing that he had worked very hard to keep Ran and her father from danger.

"Conan-kun" Eri welcomed them, she was dressed in a lovely black, covering dress that fit her well, she wore her wedding ring for once and finally admitted out loud that she had always loved Kogoro, even if he was a skirt chaser and a drunk bastard some times. Many people had gathered, Kazuha, Sonoko, those kids with Haibara and Agasa, even the Kudou's met up. Eisuke came from USA just to say goodbye, also, a lot of teachers, the students from her class and the karate club.

"Kisaki-san" Conan greeted her, as did Heiji and Hakuba too, then Eri's eyes landed on Kaito.

"And this is?" well, it was slightly different, Kaito was dressed in all black, but wore a white rose in the pocket on his jacket.

"This is Kuroba Kaito.. he recently became an orphan" Conan explained, Kaito smiled back, kind of sad, to show respect to the widow.

"Oh.. I'm sorry" Kaito quickly shooted her as he knew just how to make her feel at least a little better, so he showed her away, Hakuba and Heiji showed their respect to Kogoro, then to Ran, before they left Conan alone to pay his wishes as well.

"Ran.. I know I never got to tell you the reason I always left and never told you the truth.. I really wanted to tell you too, but this happened before I managed to meet you.. I know I cannot ask for forgiveness, it's not mine to ask off, but I want you to know, I never meant to hurt you or lie to you.. but I didn't want you to be in danger or be hurt in any way, Kaito even helped me out some times.." Conan's voice faded as he crouched beside Ran's picture, the lifeless picture smiled back, unknowing of the feelings pouring out of the detective.

"Ran.. I'm sorry, so sorry, you where truly right.. Edogawa Conan is Kudou Shinichi.. but I could never tell you, at least not when your father was around.." he smiled while tears filled his vision.

"I won't back down and disappear, I will avenge you and your father.. I'll take down the organization and continue to live as a detective in order to solve even more crimes.. and I'll never stop thinking about the one I love.. as of the truth, I have fallen for Kaitou KID, also known as Kuroba Kaito.. I'm sorry about that, however I do not regret it at all and I'm happy I got this chance to fall in love again.. he has helped me through this hard time and together it's been much easier, Hakuba-san and Hattori also helped out, you see, when Hattori told Kazuha about you, she nearly fell into a coma, thank god he confessed to her the next week, or I think she'd commit suicide.."

"Shinichi.." a low voice called and Conan looked over his shoulder, Kaito was waving at him, a signal to leave, Conan nodded and turned back to the picture.

"This is our goodbye Ran.. my dear friend.. you too Oji-san.. you could be really weird sometimes, but your really care about people when you want to didn't you! I'm happy I got to know this side of you as well.. goodbye.. both of you" he stood up and turned away. At the exit to the house, Eri met up with the four boys.

"Thank you.. for everything" she stated, tears in her eyes, Conan smiled back.

"It's nothing to thank for.. now then.. we have to leave.. goodbye Kisaki-san"

"Wait.. where will you go?" she asked. The boys all smiled as Haibara also came up to them. Conan smiled the most.

"We cannot say that.. we will leave and start our hunt on a case far larger than any case we have ever encountered, that's why I need Hakuba-san and Hattori's help, Kaito just tags along, as well as Haibara.. goodby-" that was all he managed as he felt arms around his waist, small and frail ones to note.

"Your leaving?" it was Ayumi and Conan sighed, then he crouched.

"Ayumi-chan... what I wanted you guys to know, was that I never lied once" he blamed himself for lying. AGAIN. Haibara raised an eyebrow as Heiji hid a chuckle.

"I know Conan-kun.. I never hated you"

"Thank you Ayumi-chan.. goodbye" he stood up and turned away.

"Let's go.." then they all climbed into a black car and drove away. That was, the last thing they ever saw of these young men and girl that seemed far more mature than they would appear. Or was it?

THE END!

There you go.. I'm so happy, I hope I could please you and make you happy with this story.. and I can with pleasure announce that I'm going to make a sequel with KaiCon in.. probably M rated.. from when they're married :D oh god, I want to see them like that.. that's why.. if anyone want to, can you draw a, little-shorted-than-Kaito Conan in white tux.. and Kaito beside him, in white tux as well, maybe Heiji with Kazuha and Hakuba with a back-to-her-old-body Haibara.. that'd please me very much... if no one does this.. I might just do it myself too.. although I don't know if I can do it! and you noted that I made Heiji and Conan brothers, as Conan and the rest stayed in Florida, Conan attained a very dark skin ^^ so he might just look like Heiji sometimes.. plus, I couldn't make Kaito and Conan brothers.. when they obviously weren't brothers at ALL XP

Okay, I thank you all for always reading up on this story and I would like to hear from you on my other stories as well, I know I do anyway.. because your already there :D

Then, I say thank you for everything and good bye.

Tomyo Torou! \(^_^)/
