By: FunahoMisaki
(A/N: I own nothing and what if when Jimmy had been slipped the pill that shrunk him…it also turned him into a girl as well as shrinking him. Now going by the guise of an orphaned relative of Doctor Agase, Irene Edogawa, watch as Irene adjusts to being an eight year old girl being all but adopted by Rachel and solving crimes! AU OOC possible future Femslash. Actually acting like a kid! Fem! Cute! Conan)
Teenage Detective Jimmy Kudo slowly came back around from being knocked unconscious from behind and fed some strange pill by two weird men in black trench coats to see two police officers hovering over him. He knew them it was Officers Sato and Takagi!
"Hello little one are you alright? You have a pretty nasty lump on your head." Officer Sato asked softly as she knelt down next to Jimmy who blinked up at her curiously, only for her eyes to widen slightly. In the officers worried eyes was his reflection only it was different. It was the reflection of a small kid, probably eight years old, with curly brown hair, big blue eyes, and a feminine face. It was him! Only he wasn't a 'him' anymore he was a 'her'!
"What happened?" Jimmy asked nearly freaking out over the fact that he was now a young girl and causing the two officers to exchange worried looks.
"That's what we want to know little one. Do you remember anything from before you were unconscious?" Sato asked gently while Jimmy's mind raced.
"I remember seeing a strange man in a long black coat with the collar up and there was another one too! He hit me from behind and was wearing the same thing as the first guy only he was taller!" Jimmy said idly noticing that his voice was more feminine and softer too.
"Do you remember anything else? Like your name or what you were doing here?" Sato asked causing Jimmy to think for a minute before shrugging, causing Sato to sigh and turn to her partner.
"Call an ambulance. She must have amnesia due to the blunt force trauma or hitting her head on the ground." Sato said causing Takagi to nod and turn away to call for the medics while Sato turned back toward Jimmy only to exclaim in shock.
"She's not here!" Sato said causing Takagi to spin around in alarm only to curse at the disappearance of the small girl who once was a teenage boy.
"She can't have gone far! I'll look this way you look that way. I don't care what happens just find that kid!" Sato ordered causing Takagi to nod as he ran in the direction she pointed while she took off in the opposite direction, looking for any sign of the small girl. What they didn't know was that right now Jimmy was running to his house in the now oversized cloths but couldn't reach the handle.
"Dr. Agase! Can you give me a hand here? It's Jimmy!" Jimmy said smiling at the sight of his next door neighbor who just blew a hole in the wall of his house with him on top of the rubble.
"Jimmy he lives next door." Agase said dusting off his shirt and standing up, about to turn away when Jimmy sighed and rattled off facts about Agase that no one else should know. Jimmy scowled when Agase commented about Jimmy telling his secrets to others before rattling off how he knew Agase just came from a restaurant and grinned as he said his signature phrase.
"There is only one truth." Jimmy said with a grin and a wink as he held up two fingers, which looked pretty adorable on the young girl's face, while Agase's eyes widened as he realized the eight year old girl in front of him really was Jimmy!
"Aww man I can't believe I have to wear my mom's old cloths! Why does she even have this still?" Jimmy asked with a whine to her voice as she walked into her study wearing a cute little red shirt with a cartoon character she didn't recognize on it and a pair of slightly baggy blue jeans.
"Well I'm certainly glad I could help you get into your house Jimmy but what do you plan to do now? I can't make an antidote for whatever happened to you unless I have a sample of it, which you can't get cause you are now a young girl and if these men find out your still alive they might come back to finish the job or hurt those you care about so you can't tell anyone…except perhaps your parents but not Rachel or anyone else." Agase asked and said all at once when he saw Jimmy open her mouth to say something, causing her to pout cutely.
"Jimmy are you here?" A familiar females voice asked as the door opened and closed, causing the young girl to freak and hide behind her desk while Agase turned to the new arrival. It was Jimmy's best friend and love interest Rachel that had just walked in asking for Jimmy.
"Jimmy? You just missed him. He got a call from a client and took off like a rocket." Agase said while Jimmy sighed in relief and moved a little in case Rachel caught sight of her socks…only to accidently bump her head on the desk.
"Huh?" Rachel asked hearing the noise and going to investigate while Jimmy quickly grabbed a pair of old glasses that was in one of the drawers and popped the lenses out of them before Rachel could find her.
"I knew there was someone back here. My name's Rachel what's your name little cutie?" Rachel asked smiling at the little girl whose hair was the same shade of brown as her own.
"I-I'm Irene Edogawa. N-Nice to meet you." The newly minted Irene said bowing slightly to Rachel in greeting and causing Rachel to squeal and hug the poor girl tightly.
"Oh Rachel do you mind doing me a favor?" Agase asked drawing Rachel and Irene's attention to him.
"You see Irene is a distant relative of mine and her mother died when she was born while her father is currently in a hospital overseas thanks to an accident on a business trip. My home isn't really suitable for a young girl, or a child at all, to be living in for an indefinite period of time so I was wondering if she can stay with you?" Agase asked shocking Irene and Rachel both before he winked slyly at Irene and mouthed the word 'Detectives' while Rachel was busy thinking about it. Irene's eyes widened slightly as she realized what he was doing. Rachel's father Richard was a detective, not a very good one sure but a detective all the same and detectives are privy to intelligence no one else knows…staying with a detective might increase her chances of finding the guys who did this to her!
"Well I don't see the harm in it but I'll need to ask my father for sure." Rachel said causing Irene and Agase both to beam at her.
"Alrighty then. The two of us will just go grab some of her things from my place then you two can start heading back to your apartment." Agase announced causing Rachel to nod in agreement while the old scientist led Irene away back to his house.
"So what's over here that you wanted me to grab Doc?" Irene asked sighing and putting her arms behind her head boredly as she sat down in his lab.
"Well I was planning to hide it as a bow tie but this voice modulator can also be disguised as a hair bow. Also I had managed to invent this in my spare time." Dr. Agase said handing Irene a red bow and a silver watch.
"A watch?" Irene asked raising an eyebrow while she attached the bow to just behind her ear.
"A watch with a stun dart and aimer in it." Agase corrected before showing her how it worked and causing her to grin with her eyes sparkling.
"Wicked! Thanks Doc." Irene said slipping on the watch while Agase nodded to her.
"No problem. Since you don't have your former strength in this new body of yours I'll get to work on some more gadgets for you, maybe a weapon or two just in case…"Agase said trailing off while Irene frowned, she didn't like weapons but in this body she had no way to defend herself so she could see the use for them.
"Thank doc. I owe you big time." Irene said nodding to the old scientist who smiled down at her.
"Nonsense my girl. I need something to do! Hmm perhaps I could modify a skateboard for you to be able to chase someone down…I'll have to make doubles, maybe triples, of everything in case it gets damaged…" Agase muttered as he started to work on it already while Irene rolled her eyes fondly. That man and his experimental inventions.
"I'm gonna go with Rachel now. See you later doc!" Irene said as she headed for the door only to catch something when Agase suddenly turned and threw it at her.
"A cellphone?" Irene asked raising an eyebrow up at the old man who grinned at her.
"Every child has a cellphone these days and besides I enhanced the picture functions so you can take pictures of any scenes you find during a case. It also has the fastest emailing capabilities I could install, records words at the push of a button, and has a built in tracker that alerts me in case you have been kidnapped or something. I was saving this for your birthday but I've decided you need it more now. Oh. Don't forget to actually act like a child!" Agase said turning back to his experiments while Irene flipped through the phones functions quickly and let out a low whistle, the doc really hooked her up this time.
"Thanks doc. I'll see you later." Irene said putting the phone in her jeans pocket. With a final wave to the doctor who was already tinkering with something Irene was off to find Rachel and begin her new, hopefully temporary, life as a young girl detective.
