A/N: A lot of people voted for ConanxAi, so that's what it'll be eventually! Thank you all for your reviews, I didn't expect it to turn out like this, though I know Haibara is a much loved character.

One Of Us

Chapter 3: Sherry

Conan and Haibara both stared at her like she was insane. Since both of them were quite smart, and used logic and science to fix all problems, they never once believed in such creatures.

"Vampire? Tch...as if," Conan said with an eyeroll. Haibara sighed, looking over at him.

"Then explain how I am wide awake, with no pulse or heart beat."

"...Nani?" he looked over at her, immediately feeling around her neck for a pulse...none. It was the same with her heart.

It wasn't beating. Eyes narrowing, he looked over towars Akiko. "What did you do to her?"

She smiled. "I was, unable to control my thirst last night. I hadn't fed in a while, so...now Sherry is one of us."

Both of their eyes widened at that, not so much as 'one of us', but the name. "How do you know my codename?"

"My gift," Akiko said with a shrug, tucking a strand of dark hair behind her ear. Conan blinked. "Nani?"

"Every vampire has a gift, a special ability... my friend Rin can move things with her mind, and her mate, Silas, can see into the future. It's not so much though, only simple visions that come sometimes, not always, and sometimes they change," she explained. "I, on the other hand, have the unique ability to read minds."

She blinked. "So that means, if I am a vampire, I will get one of these 'gifts' too...how do I figure out what it is?" Haibara asked. Conan shook his head. This all wasn't happening... in all reality, Haibara Ai was dead, but there she sat on the bed, talking to another dead girl.

He was the only one alive here.

Were they really vampires? Just what was going on?

"Well, some gifts happen right away. Some take a while... I think you'll figure it out."

That wasn't much of an explanation thought Conan. He crossed his arms, and noticed that Haibara was awfully quiet after that. "Um...is there a bathroom or something around here?"

"Oh, yes...just walk out the door and across the hall."

Haibara nodded and stood up without so much as a glance at Conan, and walked out of the room. Akiko smiled.

"It must be a shock, even to her."

"No kidding, but do you really expect us to believe in vampires?"

"What other proof can I give you, tantei-san?" asked Akiko. "Sherry has no pulse, no heartbeat, and her skin is pale. I am also the same way. I'll bet she even has fangs now. I can show you mine." She opened her mouth, and pointed to her teeth, which were shiny white fangs. "How do you explain one who's able to hide both a pulse and a heartbeat?"

"Exactly. There are things in this world that even you don't know about, tantei-san."

"K-Kudo-kun!" came a surprised voice from the bathroom. Both Conan and Akiko looked up.

"Haibara? What is it?" Conan called.

"I think...I think you should come here...something's wrong with the bathroom mirror.."

Conan raised an eyebrow, and looked over at Akiko, who merely shrugged. Sighing, he walked out of the room, though the sight he was met with in the bathroom was a most unexpected one indeed.

There, standing before him, although she was looking into a mirror, was Haibara. Except, something was off. She was taller, and had slightly longer hair, nice curves, and a chest...well, you get the idea. She was still wearing the same clothes, but...

She was Shiho.

"...Haibara?"

"...You see it don't you? Akiko-san must've put a spell on this mirror or something," Shiho said as she leaned in closer to the mirror. "But then, you still look like Edogawa-kun to me."

"Haibara..."

"I thought you would appear as Kudo-kun, but I was mistaken. What sort of-"

"Haibara!"

"Eh?"

"It's not...a trick of the mirror," he said. Shiho blinked, staring... down at him. "You are Sherry. You're...older."

"Oh, so this is your gift!" Akiko said with a smile as she opened the door. Conan and Shiho turned. "I think you can turn into Sherry when you'd like, but also be little Haibara Ai."

"How do I change back?" Shiho asked. She couldn't exactly go about walking home like this.

"Close your eyes, and concentrate," Akiko explained, and she nodded, closing her eyes. Conan watched her, though a small spark of jealousy was running through him at seeing Shiho and not Haibara. He wanted to be Shinichi, not Conan!

Conan blinked. Seconds had passed, and where Shiho used to be, was now Haibara. She looked around, then at Conan.

"Well?"

"Haibara."

'This might prove to be interesting,' thought Akiko with a small grin on her face.

A/N: Mwahaha, I did this with another of my vampires in a roleplay, the same ability/gift, so yeah. Hope you liked the idea, it was all I could think of, unless there was all-knowing knowledge to make a cure, but that would be considered God-Moding in RP, and possibly Mary-Sueish here, so yeah, I went with that.
