"What are you doing here?" Haibara asked icily. "Didn't I tell you not to bother me again?"

"Calm down Ai-chan, no, Shiho-chan." Shinichi replied. "I...I came here to tell you, to tell you something REALLY important."

"DO NOT CALL ME BY MY FIRST NAME!!!!!" Haibara shouted angrily. "And I don't want to here whatever you want to say!" She whipped around, and started to run towards the iron gates.

"Wait, Shiho!" Shinichi moved swiftly, and caught Haibara's wrist. To Haibara's surprise, he pulled her into a tight hug.

"What the..." Haibara struggled to free herself, only to find herself being pulled closely.

"Baka..." Shinichi whispered softly. "You really don't get it, do you?" He took a deep breath. "I...I thought it over, and, and I...LOVE YOU!!!!!" He blushed at what he just sad, but felt relived that he got it out. Though...Will Shiho accept it? She always seems so cold and mysterious...

"You, you love me?" Haibara repeated Shinichi's words, as if she was in a dream. Haibara felt tears welled up in her ears, and she didn't try to stop it this time.

"What's the matter?" Shinichi asked worriedly. He seldom sees Haibara cry, and he was both puzzled and nervous. Is she rejecting him? "I, I'm really sorry about it, I mean, it's fine if you, you know, just reject me, but I..." Shinichi's eyes widened, as Haibara's soft lips met with his, cutting off his sentence.

"I...I always loved you," Haibara replied gently as they broke up, "And I always will love you." She smiled, and embraced Shinichi. "I want to tell you about this from a long time ago..."

"Now you told me at last." Shinichi hugged her back. "Can you make another cure for yourself...And be with me...Forever?" He surprised her by pulling out a red velvet box, which of course, contains an engagement ring.

"Of course I can." The usual smirk returned to Haibara's face. "And yes, I...I would love to be with you forever." Shinichi took Haibara's hands, and they walked back towards Hakase's house together, smiling happily.

Well, maybe love isn't that painful, sister...You must just have faith in your love...And it will blossom...Haibara looked up to the sky, which she can be sure Akemi is pleased with her in Heaven.
