Forever Lost 55 Report post Posted April 20, 2011 Earplugs. Eyeplugs. Something to end this. Miyano Shiho stared blankly at the girl across from her. She was blurting out her life at a rather rapid pace, which was not only disturbing and desperate, but annoying. "Can you believe that, Miyano-chan? I mean, I tried so hard and he just... He just..." Here Shiho cringed slightly, not entirely sure of what to do. Suzuki Sonoko was now crying loudly, crocodile tears washing the table they sat at with salty liquid. Shiho forced a small, comforting smile onto her face and reached across the table to lightly pat her on the shoulder. "I'm sure he didn't mean it..." She said gently, a voice that seemed to come naturally only for one person by the name of Yoshida Ayumi. Today, she strained to find the same mothering and supportive feeling for Sonoko's sake, but she just couldn't. Suddenly, Shiho withdrew her hand as Sonoko's head popped up from it's depressed state, where it had hung somberly over her parfait. "You really mean that, Miyano-chan?!" Sonoko had somehow managed to grab Shiho's hand. "Yeah..." Shiho choked out, trying to adjust to the sudden change in demeanor. Sonoko's face changed to an expression of pure delight. "You're such a great person, Miyano-chan! I'm so glad I got to talk with you today. Alright, I'm going to get back at it! Makoto-kun, here I come~" Shiho wished for the ability to turn invisible. Sonoko had literally screamed those words and stood up where she was, holding her cell phone tightly in her hand. She had let go of Shiho's hand just a moment before. As Sonoko tore off to use her cell phone outside, the rest of the people in the restaurant were left to stare at Shiho. She simply looked down at her salad. "Oh... Miyano-chan, where's Sonoko?" Ran suddenly popped into the place where Sonoko had just sat. Relief washed over Shiho. Someone sane and pleasant to talk to. "She's... going to talk to someone named Makoto-kun..." Ran smiled, but Shiho noticed that it lacked sincerity. Ran began to eat some of her own parfait, which had came when she had left to use the restroom. "I see. So, Miyano-chan..." Here Ran paused, her hand holding the spoon also froze. Shiho took the time to take a bite of her so far untouched food. After swallowing, Shiho responded, prompted by Ran's continued silence. "Hmm?" Ran looked up at her, and Shiho knew she was close to tears. "Shinichi... he sent me a letter. To take care of you for the weekend. So I was wondering... how long you've been friends with him.. and if you knew anything about the case he's been on." Shiho could tell Ran was suspicious, and also curious. She laughed mentally, knowing that Ran had nothing to worry about. The tone deaf and love dumb detective wasn't going after anyone other than Ran. Shiho had a bad feeling that this moment would come. She had accidentally taken the antidote and had nowhere to hide. For some reason, Kudo-kun had it in his head that it'd be a great idea for Ran to look after her for the weekend. Without having Yukiko in town, Shiho resorted to a hat to cover her face some and make her less noticeable to the Organization. She hadn't felt anyone following her, but Sonoko's outburst after Ran had gone to the restroom had caused an unpleasant amount of attention to be drawn to her. If anything happened... she didn't want to think about it. Kudo-kun had sent Ran a letter telling her that he had a friend that was heading her way and needed somewhere to stay for the weekend. Ran, being the way she is, opened her home up to Shiho, a total stranger. As absurd as it all was, Shiho knew it was just going to get worse. "Well..." Shiho looked at Ran, then smiled. Ran seemed confused for a second. "He saved me from some people who were trying to kill me." Here Ran eyed Shiho, wondering if Shinichi saving her would've caused her to like him. "But that's all I know. He said that he had a very important friend who lived here and that he would see if she'd let me stay with her before I head out of this part of Japan." Ran's eyes widened. "Is that all?" The blunt words surprised their speaker. Ran put a hand over her mouth and a faint blush came over her cheeks. Before she could apologize, Shiho answered as she stabbed a few pieces of lettuce with her plastic fork. "Yes, that is all. Are you two dating or something?" Ran shook her head, her face getting redder than before. Shiho smirked. "Well, whatever you say, Mouri-san. I got the impression you two were." Before Ran could refute that claim, Sonoko came up to them. The expression on her face made Shiho sincerely think about planting her face in her salad. Sonoko sniffled. "He... He... DIDN'T ANSWER!!" She wailed loudly, hugging onto Ran by habit. Ran looked surprised, but then began to stroke her head as she wailed out all sorts of things that didn't make any sense. Earplugs. Eyeplugs. Anything, anything to end this lunch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forever Lost 55 Report post Posted April 20, 2011 Well it was my aim at turning my frustration into a random oneshot story, and I guess it worked. I don't plan to continue on it at the moment, but thank you for the kind words. Hmm, my own ending for the Syndicate? I wrote one once, but it was in a form of a 20 chapter story. Maybe I will some time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
