SECRETS: PART 2 OF IMPENDING DOOM

Hey everyone! I know it's supposed to be a week but I'm impatient as well! So...2nd part of the Impending Doom series starts now! This part of the series is all about JIS and the Detective Boys adventures within its walls. What kind of secrets could be hidden in JIS and what is the Black Organization planning? Conan strives to find out and of course he had to take care of the Detective Boys as well. As this is a different place, there will be loads of OCs.

CHAPTER 1: ARRIVAL

They stood dumbfounded at the massive iron gates. Their mouths dropped open as they stared and stared. The gardens were neat, not a grass out of place. The hedges were trimmed and the rose bushes were all in line, and of course- not a flower or a leaf breaking the perfection. The water in the ponds was clear. The marble road from the gates to the school ended in a roundabout which has a marble fountain in the center. The fountain has a statue in the middle of the pool of water. The statue was the school mascot, the four kitsune that symbolizes the four values that the school stresses. The kitsune Koan represents longevity, Gengoro represents speed, Hakuzo represents wise and finally Tamamo-no-Mae represents power. Each kitsune faced a direction and their tails were joined together at the tip, pointing to the sky. A water sprouts out from the tip of the tails, falling around the four foxes elegantly.

The school's main building was practically gleaming. The outside walls were made of stone and the great arched windows were made of metal that shines gold in the sunlight. With turrets and tall towers which seemed to be inspired by European castles and the grey stone walls, the school was an impressive sight. There were stables in the huge field and with tall trees that overshadows the marble path, the school was indeed beautiful.

The gates creaked opened and Conan strode in, lugging his heavy luggage bag behind him. He took a few steps ahead and stopped and turned. The Detective Boys were still standing at the entrance, mouths still wide agape. They were looking around with an awed expression on their faces. It was extremely obvious that they had never seen such majestic sights.

Conan sighed. He was used to such sights. His own house when he was still Shinichi was already of magnificent build. Although the school's premises were better and bigger than his, he didn't feel the need to gape stupidly. Sighing, he walked back to them and poked all of them gently, waking them from their stupefied state.

Conan gestured at the main building with his free hand. "Let's go," Conan said and the Detective Boys nodded, still in wonder. They began to walk ahead, pulling their luggage bags behind them. They looked around, taking in the beautiful sights of the school, mouths still wide open. Conan shook his head in exasperation and followed them. They stopped in front of the massive oak doors. It was exquisitely carved and Conan knocked on it when he noticed that no one else would do it. He moved back and waited.

The great doors began to open slowly and an extremely pissed-looking woman stood in front of the doors. She inspected them coldly through half-moon glasses which was perched on her long, hook nose. Her thin lips pursed and she turned around and walked away. The four children looked at each other, confused, before Conan followed her. The other three hesitated for a while, not willing to follow a cold woman, but in the end trailed behind Conan.

The woman had walked back to her previous post, behind an office desk. She sat and motioned with her finger at the four children to come near. They approached and she sighed and asked lazily, "What are your names?"

"Kojima Genta."

"Yoshida Ayumi."

"Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko."

"Edogawa Conan."

The woman started and looked up from the screen of her computer. She glanced at Conan who stared back at her. She lowered her gaze and began to type nervously something on her keyboard. A whirring sound indicated that the printer behind her was in motion. When the final 'clunk' and 'whir' stopped, she stood up and collected the newly printed papers. She handed out to them one by one.

Conan took the papers from the woman and looked at it. It was his timetable, his room assignation, a map of the school and many other documents. He looked at the subjects he was given:

Edogawa Conan's subjects:

Academics: Japanese, English, Mathematics, Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics), Criminology, Psychology, History, Geography, German

Arts: Ordinary Music, Violin

Sports: Soccer, Horse Riding

Extra activities: Archery, Track and Field

"Why does Conan have more subjects than us?"

Conan looked up and saw Genta peering at his list of subjects. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko came to look and they too said the same thing. Conan snatched their list of subjects and looked at it. They were right. Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi had only Japanese, English, Mathematics, Basic Science and Ordinary Music. Ayumi received dancing for her sports while Mitsuhiko and Genta received Baseball. Ayumi received swimming for extra activity while Mitsuhiko and Genta received nothing.

Conan looked up and asked the woman, "Why do I have more subjects than them?"

The woman looked startled that Conan was talking to her. She wringed her hands together, avoiding Conan's gaze. "Well…" she said, "JIS is a school based on abilities. They have fewer subjects because they aren't as advanced as you. That's the only explanation.""

"What do you mean we are less advanced?" roared Genta.

"Exactly what I mean brat!" the woman snapped at him, losing all her nervousness.

She looked at her watch and said, "You guys should get to your rooms and drop your bags there before going straight to class. You guys are already late."

Grumbling, the Detective Boys began to move. They folded open their maps and walked off. Conan stood still, watching the woman who had lowered her gaze to the table, trying her best to look busy. Her nervousness was odd. Conan folded open his map and realised that his dormitory was not in the same direction as the Detective Boys. Theirs was in the west wing while the others were in the East wing. Conan looked up from his map and found that they were gone.

Conan turned and walked off the opposite direction, dragging his bag behind him. He walked down the large hallway and up a winding staircase. Stopping at the first door, he pushed open the door to find a nicely-decorated circular sitting room. There was no one inside. The room was decorated with heavy tapestries and a fire was cracking merrily in the fireplace. A red wool rug lay on the wooden floor. Several armchairs were gathered around the fireplace and a green notice board was against the wall. The arched window had a red velvet curtain covering it.

Conan walked into the room, slowly. At the other end of the room, there was another wooden door. Conan walked up to it and pushed it open. Another winding staircase. He sighed and climbed it. The circular staircase never seemed to end. He walked up three levels before stopping in front of an elaborate carved door with a golden number plate. The plate has the number '593' on it. That was Conan's room assignation. Below the number plate, there were two names written on another golden plate.

Reizei Ryuutarou

Edogawa Conan

Conan pushed the door open and stepped into the room. The room was large and there were two poster beds in it. One was neat while the other was in a gigantic mess, evidently showing that someone else lives here. Conan walked to the other bed and sat on its dark red cover. The bed was comfy and high with two large pillows. The room was even nicer than the sitting room. With a dark blue carpeted floor, high ceiling and a crystal chandelier hanging from it, Conan realised why only the rich could afford this prestigious school. Conan dumped his bag onto the floor and began to pull open some drawers. In it, there were two sets of formal clothing that was also part of JIS uniform. His school books were there too. He took them out as well his stationery from his bag. He then stood and walked out of the room.

Looking at his timetable, he saw that he had his first Mathematics lesson. Rushing down and out of the sitting room, he rushed off to the classroom block. Using the ma to guide him, he soon arrived to the door that indicated his classroom number. Conan stood at the door, hesitating. He then pulled open the door and walked in, ready to start his first lesson in JIS.

Alright! First chapter of the 2nd part of the Impending Doom trilogy! I got a question: Does Conan/Shinichi knows German? There was this case with German numbers so I have a feeling that he knew. In the manga, it is in Chapter 567-569(The part where he spoke German is in Chapter 569). I'm not sure about the anime though. Oh yes, another question: Do you guys prefer Kid or Detective Boys? Please answer so I can make the story go accordingly. Thanks and please review! :)

Extra details:

Kitsune- means 'fox' in Japanese. It is commonly used to refer to the fox-like mythical fox spirit that is common in Japanese and other Asian folklore. These creatures are shown to be foxes with nine tails. They are said to serve the deity, Inari, who is the goddess of rice. They could shape shift and have magical powers. They are also said to be able to reproduce with humans.

Koan - he is a kitsune who would give people his signature with his name, age and the character of longevity to wish them just that.
Gengoro- known for his speed. His name means 'express messenger'.
Hakuzo- he was seen as very wise and scholarly when he took the form of a priest.
Tamamo-no-Mae- a very powerful kitsune.
