Sorry I took so long to put this up. I've been juggling several other projects along with this. To those who clicked on this, this is PART TWO of a series. You will need to read Part 1 first to understand the situation. It's entitled: The Adventures of Minami Edogawa: The Second New Life, and is accessible from my profile. Read it first and then read this.
For those of you who read the first part, here's a brief summary, that won't make sense unless you have actually read the first part:
Haibara tells Conan that she has an antidote for him, a permanent one. Conan takes it, but transforms into a girl. Conan takes the name Minami and begins her new life. Includes a shopping mall kidnapping, banana peels, and mad Kogoro.
So anyways, Part 2 has now begun! This chapter introduces the new story arc, and also features the first appearance of Heiji! Also, Minami's adult form is offcially named, as I plan to have her show up eventually. And thanks to MirrorRai for suggesting the name.
With that, enjoy the story!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Detective Conan in any way, shape, or form. All I own is the merchandise, not the licensing rights.
Chapter One
Two weeks after Minami had come to live with the Mouris, everything was starting to go back to normal. Minami had been an instant hit with everyone, and the 'cute little girl' factor made criminals forget about trying to keep themselves out of jail, and made apprehending them that much easier.
Minami was having as many boys coming on to her as girls had come onto Conan. She still remembered the first day of school vividly.
Flashback – 2 weeks ago
Minami was walking with Ai to school, separate from everyone else.
"Now I get to see a new student come into class," Ai teased. "It must be some kind of record for the same kid to be introduced to the same class twice in a school year."
"Shut up," Minami groaned. She was not looking forward to school. Even for a girl, school would be boring.
"Minami-chan!" exclaimed a female voice. It belonged to Ayumi, who was rushing up with Mitsuhiko and Genta. They got an eyeful of Minami's backpack and school clothes and said, "You're going to our school now, Minami-chan? That's so AWESOME!"
They walked on the rest of the way like this, and Minami was dreading it even more.
Later…
"Class!" exclaimed Miss Kobayashi, as Class 1-B settled down for the day, "we have a new student today! Come in please!" She directed this last part at the door, and it soon opened to reveal Minami.
There were instant whispers going around. Minami ignored them and went to the front of the room. Miss Kobayashi wrote Edogawa Minami on the board, and said, "Class, this is Edogawa Minami-san. Please make her feel welcome! She's the sister of Conan-kun, who recently had to leave, so it should be easy to be friends! Now, where should you sit?"
Miss Kobayashi started looking around the room, but was interrupted by Minami asking, "Kobayashi-sensei, could I sit where Conan-niichan used to sit?"
"Uh, sure. Conan-kun sat next to Haibara-san. She's over there," She pointed at Ai, and Minami went and sat near her.
"I just love role-reversal," said Ai teasingly.
"Shut up," muttered Minami.
End Flashback
The rest of that day had been as boring as ever. Minami was officially inducted into the Detective Boys that day at lunch, and she soon realized that she'd have to act like Ai to keep all the fanboys away. After all, she'd originally been a boy, and dating a boy would be as weird as dating a little kid would be.
Minami was walking home from school, alone, when she got a phone call. The call was from Conan's phone, and she got the bowtie out to answer.
"Hello?"
"Oh Kudo!" said a voice, with a thick Kansai accent. It was Hattori Heiji.
"Oh, Hattori. What's up?"
"I'm just checking on my best bud. I heard from Kazuha, who heard from your neechan, that 'Conan' moved to America. So how does it feel to be back as a teenager, huh?"
Minami was royally ticked off that Heiji had not called her out for talking in Conan's voice, when he thought that she was Shinichi. So she decided to get back at him.
"Actually, Hattori, I really did move to America. No antidote yet. Mom and Dad found out that Their headquarters are in America, so I moved over there to investigate. Haibara's staying in Japan to hold down the fort, and because all her research is there."
"Wait, you moved to America? Then how's Mouri going to solve cases? It'll be pretty obvious who's behind the 'Sleeping Kogoro' act when it's ending coincides with your leaving."
"Don't worry!" said Minami, "the act is still going strong! I actually found out recently that there's been a third victim of APTX-4869."
"WHAT! There's been another victim of that Ahoutoxin?"
"It's Apotoxin. And yes, there's been another victim. My distant cousin actually."
"Your cousin? How come you've never mentioned him?"
"She lives in Hokkaido. Or she did. She moved to Tokyo to find me after she had a run-in with the Organization. I never mentioned her before because she lives so far away."
"Wait, your cousin's a girl?"
"Yeah. Her real name is Kudo Sakura. But after she shrank, she took over the 'Sleeping Kogoro' act. Her fake name is Edogawa Minami, and she's passing herself off as my sister. We look a LOT alike, so it hasn't been that hard. And she's gotten a good rep for solving cases, but as a girl, she never made the news as much as either of us ever did."
"Oh, OK," said Heiji.
"So, is there any other reason you wanted to talk to me?"
"Yeah, I was going to invite you and your neechan to Osaka, but I guess that's out of the question."
"Then why don't you and Kazuha come to Tokyo? You can meet Sakura, too."
"I'm game for that. So when are you gonna be back in Japan?"
"I…I don't know. Hopefully it'll be soon. So I'll talk to you later, OK?"
"Sure Kudo. Take care of yourself."
So Heiji and Kazuha are coming to town! I apologize to those that weren't really a fan of those two appearing in this story, but after a lot of debate, I realized that their appearance was the best way to advance the story. The next chapter is an interim chapter, where I do some explaining, and there's some humerous dialogue. The two come to Tokyo in Chapter Three.
To anyone reading, please read and review!
