Into the World of DC Part 2 Chapter 5

[hopes 237]

I just posted this on FanFiction, so I'm going to post it here as well... Enjoy!!

“Well,” Heiji started after Ran and Conan had finished. I turned around from the window. “Since tha’ da love birds ‘ave made up, wha’ do we do now?”

Ran and Conan blushed furiously while everyone smiled and laughed.

“First, I think we should tell Chelsea and Ran-san about Shinichi and Kaito-kun.” Yuusaku interrupted the mirth bouncing around the room. Everyone nodded, but Conan deadpanned while Kaito grinned like the Cheshire Cat.

“Eh? What happened?” I asked curiously.

“Apparently, Kuroba is my distant cousin.” Conan replied.

“What?!” Ran cried out, surprised. I stood there, thinking.

“Hm… I thought aloud. “Well, that confirms rumors.” Everyone gave me puzzled looks except for Julia, for smirked.

“Sure does!” She agreed.

“Never mind.” I said quickly. “Anyway, I’m not quite sure, but I think I’m starting to pick up the ability to sense Them.”

Everyone looked startled, especially Ai and Conan. “What?”

“Well, I dunno really, but… When Ran and I were coming back here, I thought I felt something. I wasn’t sure, so I didn’t say anything…”

“Did you recognize the person?” Conan demanded.

“Eh? Well, no… You definitely know with Gin and Vodka… Chianti and Korn wouldn’t… Vermouth, no… And you can cross out Daiquiri too. I think it was a new member.” I scrolled through the possibilities.

“Then you’re probably right.” Saguru told me, in his usual place next to Ai. “Since you’ve spent time around Them and you have quite a bit of knowledge, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to have the ability.”

“Well, I guess it will be useful in the future…” I muttered.

“So, won’t Cuz be able to as well?” Kaito questioned.

The so called ‘Cuz’ deadpanned again. “’Cuz’?”

Kaito gave a Kaitou Kid grin this time. “Yep. Your new nickname!”

“So you’re not going to call me Tantei-kun anymore?”

“That’s when I’m Kid!”

Conan rolled his eyes, annoyed. Us girls giggled. Heiji stuffed a fist in his mouth to stifle the laughter, while Saguru and Ai smirked evilly, looking like twins(except one was taller than the other). Agasa swear-dropped and Yuusaku and Yukiko smiled. Aoko picked up Agasa’s mop and proceeded to whack the magician.

“Kaito… Can’t you ever be polite?” Aoko sighed.

“Hey, we’re family.” Kaito help up his hands in defense. “Family doesn’t have boundaries.”

The chibi detective turned to his parents. “Did you have to us we were cousins?”

“Of course, Shin-chan~!” Yukiko sang.

“Well, unless you never wanted to know why you and Kaito-kun look identical, then yes.” Yuusaku adjusted his glasses.

Conan began to grumble something unintelligible. Kaito just kept grinning. Everyone laughed.

“You can expect plenty of pranks, Kudo-kun.” Saguru sighed.

“When I found out Kuroba was Kid, I figured that out.”

“Then expect that amount to be multiplied by ten times now.”

Conan just shook his head. “If family is included, then what about Otou-san and Okaa-san?”

“Eh, I dunno… Obaa-san probably wouldn’t like them-“ I don’t think anybody does… “and Occhan, well…”

A familiar red mark appeared on Yukiko’s forehead. More followed. “Kai… Chan…”

Kaito froze. Conan smirked.

“Um, sorry, I mean Onee-chan.” Kaito swallowed nervously. Yukiko was instantly cheerful again.

“Oh, it’s alright Kai-chan~!” Then her aura came back. “Let’s just hope you never. Say. That. Again.”

“Y-Yes.” Yukiko glared. “…Onee-chan.”

“Good~!”

Everyone laughed. Again.

“Not fair!” Julia whined suddenly.

“What?” I looked over at my best friend.

“I wanna be related to Kaito~!”

Conan dead-panned once again while everyone else sweat-dropped. So not Conan, eh?

“Okay… But you know that’s not going to happen, right?”

Julia glared. “Well, look who’s talking. You’re don’t know! You’re already related.”

“Eh?”

“I see.” Everyone looked down at Ai. “What Julia-san is referring to is how you are posing as Kudo-kun’s cousin and Edogawa-kun’s brother, Edogawa Miyuki.”

“Wow. So now I’m technically related to almost EVERY famous person in Japan.”

“Whatcha talkin’ ‘bout?” A certain Osakan detective asked.

“Aha.” Jodie spoke up. “I understand. Chelsea is thinking of Conan-kun the child detective and Kaitou Kid’s rival. Their alibis also include Kudo-kun as a cousin. Also Kuroba-kun, or Kaitou Kid. And don’t forget Kudo Yuusaku, the famous mystery writer and creator of the Night Baron and his wife, Kudo Yukiko the former actress and the Night Baroness. Even Kuroba Toichi-san, who was a famous magician and the former Kaitou Kid.” This deduction left most of everyone speechless.

“Don’t forget the Famous Sleeping Mouri Kogoro and his Karate Champion daughter Ran!” I grinned.

Ran looked confused. “You mean how Shinichi, er, Conan-kun and I had been like siblings for a while?”

“No.” I smirked again. “I was referring of the fact that you two are probably going to be related in a different way soon…”

Conan and Ran turned completely red. You could feel the heat they had generated from embarrassment. All the guys began teasing Conan and the girls chattering in excitement. Yukiko clapped her hands together, while Yuusaku and Agasa smiled and sweat-dropped. Jodie just smiled knowingly.

“Hey, hey, I didn’t say I was done yet!” I protested. The noise ceased. “I’m also expecting the daughter of the famous inspector in charge of capturing Kid, Nakamori Aoko!”

Now it was Kaito and Aoko’s turn. “Eh?!”

I waved my hand up and down. “What do you mean, ‘eh’? It’s so obvious!” Then I turned to Heiji and the others. “And best friends count too! Heiji with Kazuha and Saguru with Ai!”

Their reactions weren’t the best.

“No way I’m marryin’ tha’ ahou!”

“Tha’ was my line ahou! And who said I was best friends with Hakuba?!”

“Chelsea-san… Hattori-san and I aren’t even acquaintances. And definitely not Kuroba-kun. And…”

“Chelsea…”

I shrunk at the two blondes’ auras.

“Hey, what about me?” Julia complained and saved me.

“Like I said, best friends count!” I recovered, ignoring the death glares from all around. “So, we’re like sister or cousins! And Hakase is an uncle of grandfather! And Jodie an aunt!”

Jodie’s eyebrow twitched. ‘Aunt…’

Agasa could only sweat-drop. ‘Why am I not surprised?’

I just noticed. Agasa sweat-drops a lot.

“So we’re all related!” Julia squealed.

“Exactly~!”

By now, everyone was sweat-dropping and thought the same thing: ‘They’re acting like… fan girls.’

“But… If we’re counting best friends, wouldn’t Vermouth count as well?” Julia asked bluntly. Everyone froze.

“Oh. I guess. And that would mean Daiquiri… And Hitomi-chan… And…” Now I was sweat-dropping. ‘This list could go on forever…’

“Oh! And the Detective Boys!” Julia continued, oblivious to everyone’s reactions. Julia continued while the tension slowly began to calm down.

“So…” I turned to the stares I was getting. “Are you guys going to start dating?”

They all turned red. Again.

“No way I’d date Bakaito!”

“Aoko…” Kaito’s hair hid his expression.

“W-What?”

“I… I really like you. And I have for a long time.” Kaito looked up at Aoko and stared straight in her eyes. “Would you ever consider being my boyfriend?”

Everyone was silent.

“A CONFESSION~~~!” And the silence was broken by Julia. I covered her mouth.

“I… I would. If you want, then yes. I-I’ve liked you too.” Some tears began to flow out of her eyes.

Kaito made a rose appear between his fingers. He gave it to Aoko, and then pulled her into a hug.

Everyone found this scene touching. I saw Kazuha, happy for her friend, but also looking slightly jealous. All the girls went and congratulated Aoko except for Ai. She looked at the scene with… What was that look in her eye? Discern? Contempt? Or perhaps… Longing?

All the guys went and playfully punched Kaito. Even Saguru went over to give his congratulations. The adults watched, looking nostalgic.

I turned to Conan. “And you? Are you going to follow your cousin’s example?”

“Well… Wouldn’t it be kinda awkward for Ran and I?” Conan looked down. “I’m stuck in a child’s body…” He watched his happy childhood friend.

“The same for Ai and Saguru.” I looked at the pair. They apparently heard my comment. I quickly looked away. Their auras are going to scar me for life…

“We wouldn’t date anyway.” Ai said coolly, coming over. I saw something change in Saguru’s eyes when he heard that.

“I’m… I’ll ask her after everything is over and the Organization is defeated.”

“Isn’t that waiting a little too long?”

“Possibly. It could be sooner…”

“Who knows, then…” I turned to Heiji. “And you? Are you gonna ask her?

Heiji being the dense idiot, had to loudly yell something stupid. “I don’ feel tha’ way ‘bout Kazuha!”

The aikido master heard his shout and turned away, trembling. “Ahou…”

“Eh?” Heiji looked at her.

“AHOU!” Tears began to come out of her eyes. She ran out of the living room and upstairs.

“Kazuha!” Heiji yelled. “Wait! I didn’ mean-“

“Hattori…” The detective of the West looked down at his other half. “Go after her.”

“What?”

Conan gave Heiji the look he reserves for desperate situations. “GO AFTER HER, IDIOT!”

Heiji was startled. Then he left the room as fast as possible, going after his childhood friend.

“Shinichi…” Ran bent down. “What was…?”

“I just don’t want him to be in the same situation I was… I was barely forgiven…” The shrunken detective explained. His cerulean eyes were shining with emotion.

Ran’s eyes began to as well. “S-Shinichi!” Then she pulled him into another hug. Conan wrapped his tiny arms around her after a moment.

“I see… I hope Hattori-san can fix his mistake.” Saguru looked out the door.

“You’re not the only one…” I muttered under my breath.

The black clothed figure leaned against the side of the house. And smirked.

Well, they were so OOC... And they sweat-dropped a LOT... Tell me what you thought anyway... Thanks.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! *hugs* I always do enjoy every new chapter you post! Good job!!

[Aeyra 260]

Pretty good, but the confessions seemed to slide off a little to quickly.. So did the tension between Ran and Conan. I fully support ShinRan, but I would have pulled it out quite a bit longer. (probably until the end of the entire story. XD) Hmm... I actually do expect that kind of reaction from Kazuha, but not so much Heiji. (we're talking big HeiShin fangirl over here.) I thought your fangirl freakout was funny. (but maybe you should mention yaoi. Now that would spur reactions! But Kaito usually calls Shinichi 'Shin-chan' in most fics... Cuz is interesting, but it's not as embarrassing...) Sorry, I'm out of it. I'm in a total HakuKai mood right now. There were kind of OOC like you said... But of course, you drive them crazy, right? JK, JK. Update soon Chelsea!

Thanks guys!! Yeah, Aya-chan... Pretty much everything you said is right. XD But thanks karan and Misaki-chan!! I appreciate your comments.

[Aeyra 260]

Thanks guys!! Yeah, Aya-chan... Pretty much everything you said is right. XD But thanks karan and Misaki-chan!! I appreciate your comments.

Out of curiosity... Could you let Kaito call Conan Koko-kun? Ko is how you say 'small' in Japanese. For greater effect, Koko-chan! (XD) I'll try to get part of my HeiWa if only for your sake! (but I doubt I can.... I'm too deep into HeiShin.)
