Pairing:KidCon (Kaishin)/ other side pairings
don't own DC or MK
Loving you forever, can't be wrong
Even though you're not here, won't move on
Ahhh, that's how we played it
And there's no remedy
For memory
Your face is like a melody,
It won't leave my head
Your soul is haunting me
And telling me
That everything is fine
But I wish I was dead

(Final Thought cover is way better)
6 Years Later Ch 3
"Considering all the dead body's you run into from your 'bad luck', I would argue that all your good luck is focus on keeping you alive instead" she side walking into the room with her clipboard.
"It's a miracle that your even here" she continued.
"Wouldn't be the first time" (hopefully the last) he mutters under his breath not caring if she heard.
He was propped up in a hospital bed, the white walls (same shade of white) glared at him, the only solid colors came from outside the window, and the green of Haibara shirt. He keep his gaze fixed out the window.
"Your not going to ask me what happened?" She side, really he didn't feel like listening, he was just so tired.
"I'm assuming the fact that I'm alive, your here, and your not in a panic that things at the lest went good" he side, shuffling slowly to get more comfortable.
He sighed "Yes I would like to know"
"Well I'll start with the take down." She side, getting up she began checking his wounds.
"The transferring of the file was a success, the FBI was able to capture 98% of the names listed in the file including the boss and all high ranking members, Vermouth was not included like in the deal. The 2% are a few lower members and unranked that hardly know anything—"
"Was Snakes name on the file?" He cut her off, he couldn't take the wait, it had been floating in his mind since Vermouth explained the deal. She paused for a second.
"No, I asked them to double check"
(Damn him, damn him, damn him)
"Most are on trial at this moment, Gin's is next week" she quickly changed back to topic.
"On to how your still alive, luckily there was an agent who had been roughly tracking your glasses and was able to reach you in time before Gin killed you, he shot your left lag when you were passed out" made sense from the cast on his lag.
"There was 2 casualties on the front lines, 6 were in critical condition. 17 treated for non life threatening injures, all are on the road to recovery" the girl side.
He felt guilty for the life's lost.
"We really won?"
"Yep"
"It feels strange, doesn't it?"
"Indeed it dose"
"We can move on?"
"From this instant, I know I will be able to live normally, I'm sure you will soon but there's something else you need to get passed—show me your arms"
"Haibara—"
"Just show them"
"Good, nothing new"
"Can you move on yet?… Swear to me you'll try"
"I'll try, but no promises" (cause there were all empty now)
She sighed.
"I guess that's the best I'm getting" she replayed, stepping back. She stat down on the stool running her hand thought her hair.
"Oh, by the way, guess what happened" she was smirking at him. Feeling a bit nerves he asked.
"What?" He swore he feel the temperature drop.
"Mitsuhiko-kun finally asked me out on a date, isn't that wonderful" she giggled. (that was really creepy)
"I guess" he deadpanned, eyebrow twitching.
"Well aren't you nice"
He spent a three weeks in the hospital, finally discharged he walked out of the doors with crutches and Heiji by his side.
"If you only brought your bike I'm taking the train" he was irritated, he didn't need to be escorted out.
"No, Ran's picking use up, and your going right home where your not stepping on a crime scene in a mouths" Henji side.
"Your kidding me, that's insane" he replayed. He wasn't a little kid any more.
Waiting by the curb Conan adjusted his eye patch which had been bugging him. (it's always a reminder) The other detective noticed.
"Are you still trying to get into that fashion trend, start wearing frilly gothic ball dresses, and carried around lace umbrellas and I'm sure you'll fit right in" Heiji teased, leaning down grinning like a weasel.
"Shut up" was the other trying to get on his nerves.
"I don't get why you wear that, it's just a scar, no ones going to give it a second look if you take it off" Heiji always says the same thing.
"I'll take it off in five years when the damn thing has faded" he huffed.
"That's not fading in five years Kudo"
Conan groaned. "Put a lid on it!" He yelled at the older detective, hitting him in the shin with his crutches.
"Heiji, Conan!" Ran pulled up behind them. Conan walk over as Heiji wobbled behind him griping his shin, getting in they drove off.
"Ran's going to be coming over ever second day to make you food and make sure your not dead" Heiji side.
Really? They had a whole damn plan out for him out. (he always had a plan)
"I'm grown ass man I can take care of myself!" He yelled, this is just getting tiring now. Heiji snickered at him.
'What an asshole'
"Shinichi, you just got out of the hospital" Ran side looking back at him, through the dashboard mirror.
"I'm fine Ran" he almost whined, all he wanted to do is sleep.
The car seemed to quiet down after that. He looked out of the window letting the buildings, and people pass as the car swayed gently.
Finally they reached his apartment, he didn't live in the Kudo's house anymore the memory's got him to depressed, all the long nights they spent there hiding from the world. (together)
The apartment he had was still in Beika, but was more out of the way.
His parents bought it for him when he side he couldn't live in the house anymore, he felt bad about it, but his parents understand.
He asked for something small but of course his mother didn't listen, she ended up buying the whole top floor of an apartment building, (crazy woman) it wasn't as big as the Kudo mansion, it was better then that big empty house in the end. He just had no use of the two empty rooms, 2th living room, and two other bathrooms.
He guess it was convenient when Haibara or Heiji wouldn't leave, and diside to stay the night. Also when his parents dropped by, they come around a lot more often. Out of shear coincidence (yeah right) it wasn't that far from Ran's and her Husband house.
They came to a stop in the visitors parking lot, and Conan popped his door, as quickly as he could, on crutches. He fast walked to the door trying to get away from his mother hens.
"Oi Kudo!" Heiji called after him
"Sh— Conan-kun I have grocery, let me make dinner, at lest for latter" Ran called after him getting out and opening the trunk. He stopped haft way to the door and sigh. He turned around and waited for Ran to get the food. The Osaka detective walked up to him.
"What are you in a rush for" he side raising an eyebrow.
"I would like to get some sleep" the smaller detective muttered.
After Ran had gotten the stuff out of the car, they made there way up to the apartment.
Conan unlocked the door they all waked in Ran moving towards the kitchen, Heiji trailed behind him.
"I'm going to sleep do what you want" he when off to his bedroom.
Closing the door behind him he walked over to his bed, setting the crutches against the night stand he leaned down.
Reaching under the bed he pulled out a metal box with a lock. Opening the box revealed another one lined with soft felt. Taking the box he open it to reveal Pandora.
He breathed out in relief as the black diamond shined back at him.
Really he had no idea what to do with the thing. It's was Kaito's, (well not really) and it was his right to destroy it, but he had left it behind in his care. It was the reason his father was murder and it was the reason Kaito is not here, he now has that same burning passion to destroy the thing too. The detective sighed, it wasn't his right, but he suppose that he will eventually have to figure out how to smash the thing into pieces someday.
For now it was in his care, and Snake would never get his hands on it, over his dead body.
He put the diamond back in its little case, and locked the metal box. He shuffled over to his desk lifting the floor boards in a special way. The ravenette put the box back to its original place.
Getting up he hopped over to his bed, laying down on his stomach he didn't bother getting under the covers.
Soft orange light flutter through the curtains he didn't care to close (he was on the 35th floor) flashed in his face. Groaning he simply turned his head, slowly his eyes closed and he fell asleep.
The pain in his stomach woke him up. Flipping himself over the teen looking at the clock, it read 8:17pm, he had slept about three hours. Siting up on the bed he stretched.
'Guess I'll see what Ran made'
He grabbed his crutches walking out of the room.
Making his way to the kitchen he was meet with silence. It looked like Ran had dusted the apartment, stepping into the living room, everything looked normal, scanning the room he spotted something on the fridge. Walking over around the breakfast bar he grab a piece of paper that had been on the fridge. It was from Ran.
(He had hoped)
'Dinner is in the fridge there should be enough in there for leftovers, I'll be back tomorrow to cheek on you.
Heiji left and will be around, he side that he went down to the police station to tell them not to let you near any crime scenes so stay inside and heal up, if anythings wrong just call. :D'
He laugh softly not wanting to break the silence around him. Opening the fridge he took the cold dinner out, taking off the plastic wrap he popped it in the microwave.
As it heated up he walked over to TV and turned it on just for background noise.
After he was done his dinner he washed his plat and bowls, putting them back in the cupboards, he sat down on the coach in front of the TV.
Flipping thought the channels, there wasn't anything good, he was about to turn the TV off when the door bell rang. Walking up to the door he checked the intercom.
"Hello?"
"Shinichi!" It was Haibara. He pused, she was breathing heavily.
"I'm letting you in" the detective side pressing the button to unlock the lobby, he could tell something was wrong.
Conan waited for her to come up.
Hearing the elavator ding he unlocked the door.
"What the hell, why haven't you been answering your phone!" She immediately side as she ran towards him. He was taken aback by her, she never acted like this unless—
"What happened!?" He yelled, shutting the door behind them.
"It's Gin, he's escape" she side looking around the room suspicaly. Conan felt his blood turn cold as he trailed behind the girl as she checked all his rooms.
"How?!" He blurted out.
"There was a traffic accident with the car he was being transported in, a few other criminals got out to, the police couldn't respond in time!" They got to his room and Conan was about to grab his cell phone off the desk wen it started ringing. He picked it up and answered. Forgetting to check caller id.
"Moshi Mo—"
"OI KUDO!" Heiji yelled thought the phone.
"Ack!" He couldn't pull it away in time to save his ear. Holding the phone away, letting Heiji yell it out.
"Shut up!" He yelled back.
"Listen! You need to get out of there— no, wait for the police to get there, there's no time to explain!" The west detective yelled.
"I know! Haibara is here she told me" he side back. The small scientist then took the phone out of his hand so he could walk, she switched it to speaker phone.
"I'm here Heiji, were leaving" she side. Shinichi didn't question her as they started walking out, him on his crutches.
"What! No wait there" he side from the phone.
"Were siting ducks here, it's all over if we get corner in this building" she side. Haibara was right, he didn't have a gun in his apartment, but he did have Kaito's card gun, (he had got it before the police could confiscated it, on the cruise ship that night) but he doubted that would stop Gin alone. The two made there way to the door, quickly the detective graded his keys, and they were out.
They made it to the Police Station with no problem. The police had already contacted the FBI by the time they got there.
They where currently sorting out a plan.
"If he hasn't done anything by now he's probably going into hiding" Haibara reason.
"He would want to go after Vermouth the most" she added.
"But still we should place you under protection, especially you Conan" officer Takagi side. He wanted to protest but he could feel all there eyes on him. He couldn't argue this.
Two month went by and nothing. He was getting fed up with everyone's eyes on him, it was almost as bad as the Black Org (almost). It had gotten to a point where he would have to sneak away just to get alone time, but slowly things started to calm down and he was left alone, almost. Haibara and Ran where always hanging around, the Shonen Tanteidan was starting to get him to go on cases like they use to, but he had been avoiding them for years now.
Yet they were still dead set on getting him to join them, before they would always press for answer but he never bugged. Haibara must of talked to them cause when ever they would see him now they wouldn't ask but there was still that burning passion in there eyes of wanting to know what happen to their friend for all though years.
Maybe one day they'll figure out the mystery of Shinichi Kudo.
"Shinichi"
"Uh?" He snapped out of his daze, looking up.
"I side your horribly under weight that I'm starting to consider shoving food down your throat" Haibara side writing down the numbers on the scale. Shinichi sighed, stepping off the scale. He was at Agasa's getting his 'weekly personal check up' by the devil spawn, aka Haibara.
He was about to walk out when she stopped him.
"Let me see your arms" she side. More like demanded.
"Their fine Haibara—"
She was having non of his shit today as she reached out, Conan flinched back trying to avoid her reach. Stepping back to avoid her.
She sweat dropped.
"Don't make me fight you" she side arms out knees bent, he was in the same stance trying to figure out an escape rout. (escaping was his thing) He missed the small movement from the girl as she lunged at him. Grabbing his arms, they meet in the middle both trying to over power the other.
From an outsiders view, it probably look funny as both sides were not really committed to fight, it was all haft ass attempts to over power the other.
This had happened before. He stood up to her for a few seconds until his arms throb painfully, and the strength was sucked out of him. Giving in he let her look at his wrists, grabbing his left arm.
"Shinichi" she side disappointed.
"It was an a—"
"Stop talking bullshit" she glared at him.
"I'm going to stitch this now, and if I see anymore ever again, I'll break your lags, and have you here for 6 mouths"
"…Sorry"
"Don't say sorry to me" (say sorry to him) she huffed wandering over to get a needle and thread.
(but I can't)
He finally stepped out of Agasa's, he stopped at his old home getting a book out of the Library he wanted to read, he walked to Beika Station. Waiting for the train.
As he waited he opened his book, when the train arrived he tucked the cover back under his arm, stepping on to a full cart. It was late afternoon and everyone was getting off work, he was glad he was only going two stops. Suddenly someone bumped into his back, hands in pocket his face when straight into the door. windows, glasses clinked against the glass, digging into his face. Taking his hand out he rubbed his cheek.
'God, talk about rude people' he looked behind himself to see who had bumped into him, only to not spot anyone moving around, something cot his eye on the ground. Looking down, there was a small black cap that was rolling around from the jolting of the train. He reached down picking it up to look closer at it.
Suddenly the doors behind him ding at his stop and people rushed out, he stumbled out being pushed with the crowed. Stopping he straighten out his clothes as he pocketed the cap without thinking. Huffing in announces, everyone was so pushy today.
He was about to walk out of the ticket gate when someone screamed.
"She's dead!"
Oh great. This was something he didn't want to do today, he was reluctant to rush over, he still couldn't bring to much attention to Conan Edogawa, but. Closing his eyes, he's morals clashed against his fears, but maybe this was the time to start building himself back up. So he rushed back to the edge of the platform.
"Nobody move, you phone the police!"
"Conan wait!"
He didn't wait as he threw himself over the fence down the ally, and around the corner chasing after the culprit. God he just couldn't get a break to night could he.
First Haibara pressuring him, then running into a dead body, then fingering out who the culprit is, then finding out the culprit is actually a hitman, then side hitman making a run for it right before the police could cuff him. What a great night. Cause he totally enjoyed running down ally's chasing trained killers. (not killers but certain thief's)
He should of just gotten Agasa to drive him home, or maybe slept in today.
He turned down another ally, his hot breath creating puffs of smoke that flew up into the air. He had been chasing the culprit for about 5 minutes but he still couldn't catch up to do anything. The hitman tried to stop him by knocking trash cans down but he simply jumped over them. The chase was coming on 7 minutes now and his lags where really starting to ache.
Suddenly a pain shot through his chest, it was so bad that he almost fell over. His lags stopped, and the detective had to leaned against the walls of the ally. The culprit was getting away, he tried to move but it was like his body wouldn't work as he trembled. Pains shot through his chest again it was a familiar feeling, like the pain he would get when his body would shrink but this was different. Usually when he would take an antidote it would burn like someone was burning hot metal against his skin, but this feeling was pure pain. It was like needles from ever angle were being jabbed into his body, then someone driving a knife through his chest.
Pain shot through him again and his knees gave out. (there hadn't been much holding him up) Slumping to the ground he breathe heavily. Black spots started to form on his vision, as he struggled to get up, but the pain intensified his eyes widening as he screamed out. His body couldn't take it anymore, he passed out.
Light flutter through his eye lids as he slowly regain consciousness. Opening his eyes he was confused, he was chasing someone why was he—.
Oh.
He was in a hospital, he avoided looking at the white walls (same shade) his eyes landed on the window. Same view, he was at Beika General Hospital. Shinichi had been in this room so many times that they might as well reserve it for him. (actually he think they did)
A few minutes went by until the door opened. He glanced over, it was the doctor.
"Good to see you awake Edogawa-kun, though not so much as seeing that your here again" the middle aged man side siting down on the stool. "How are you feeling" he side.
"Fine" Conan replayed.
"Why am I here exactly" he couldn't quite remember way he was in the Hospital.
"So you don't remember" the doctor side.
"I remember chasing after the culprit, nothing after that" he side
"That's strange, well you collapsed in an ally, luckily the police where close by and got you an ambulance, but were not to sure what caused you to suddenly collapse" the doctor side.
"And before you ask, yes the police did catch the man you were chasing" Conan sighed in relief.
"I did some blood test, while you were sleeping, it didn't show anything, will do a few more to day, if the test check out, and you don't show any sighs of worsening you can leave tomorrow"
A day after he was walking out of the Hospital (again) with, surprise, surprise the devil spawn of satan.
They got into Agasa's car, driving away from the hospital.
"I need to do some test when we get home" Haibara side.
"All I'v been doing is getting tested on" he grumbled. He look over at her suddenly a shiver went up his spine, and the air in the car tensed.
"The doctors didn't find anything in your blood stream, what do you think that could mean" she side, her eyes cold, focus out the window. He could feel himself start to sweat.
"You don't mean—"
"Yes it could vary well be the APTX" she side.
"But wouldn't it affect you too"
"I don't go out ever week getting bullets shot through me, or chase after murders, now do I" she side sharply turning her head, looking straight into his eyes.
"This is why I told you to be more careful"
After getting to Agasa's, Haibara rushed him off to her lab, he sat for an hour watching as she took his blood and types away on her computers. Two hours later he was starting to doze off on the chair she stopped typing.
"I have to wait for the results, you need to eat" he sluggishly followed her back up to the livening room. He watched the TV as Haibara helped the professor make dinner. He was mindely flipping through the channels look for something to watch.
"—a woman's body was fond in Kishko park this afternoon, the body was identified as, 37, Shina Collie. The police have no leads at the moment too—"
Now that's interesting a dead body he didn't stumbled on.
"Dinners done!" Agasa side from the kitchen. He was about to see if the news lady had anything else to say, but he decided that the police could handle it for once.
Turning off the TV he walking over to join the two for dinner.
After he finished and thank the two for the meal he wandered over to his old house to wait for the results.
No one was home at the moment so he simple went straight to the Library. Looking at the rows of books he sought out a certain one. One he had not read in a long time. Arsène Lupin, grabbing the first volume off the self he went to his favourite reading chair, and settled down.
He didn't know how long he had been reading, but at some point he had stopped and was staring at the top of the page blankly. He thought back to the time after the cruise, where all of Japan (and most of the world) had been painstakingly waiting for the thief to pop up again, but nothing.
There were a couple crazy people who had tried to be KID but there were always caught the same night, and were proven not to be Kaito KID. Conan was always there when the stupid bustards got arrested, wanting so bad to kick a ball in there face for making his heart break again, shattering his hope.
Two years ago a note popped up in the police headquarters, had the police seriously thinking it was KID, when the detective saw the note he had almost thought that it was Kaito, from the quality of the heist note, but he knew that it wasn't his thief the moment Conan laid his eyes on the imposter.
He would like to say that he was more satisfied at how traumatized the man was after he was done with him, but he wasn't, it didn't stop the pain in his chest from his hope falling to pieces once again.
The only upside (if you can call it that) of these incidents is that he was always there, lurking in the shadows. Dispute getting older the police were still reluctant to listen to him, but from the cruise Nakamori had guessed that someone was after KIDs life, and would position officers in high building around the heist location to look out for any suspicious characters.
Despite his effort, and the polices, Snake always managed to get away.
He was pulled from his thoughts as the book in his hands was snatched away. He looked up surprised, Haibara was standing in front of him, his book in one hand, and papers in the other.
"O-oh Haibara" Conan side, just seeing her now.
"I have the results" she side wavering around the papers. She put his book down and sat on the coach opposite of him.
"So, what do they say" he asked.
He eyed her trying to find any indication of what to expect, but Haibara was keeping her face expertly flat. She started at him for a few seconds like she was looking for something on his face, sighing she glanced back at the papers in her hand.
"It was the APTX that caused you to collapse, the over stress your body has sustained over the years have left a scar, not just outside but on the inside to. The two times in the passed your heart stopped and they had to shock you back to life, has left your heart week, the doctor has already told you this, but you seem to forget so I'm mentioning it again" Her voice was line with cold anger. He looked at the ground, hiding behind his bangs.
"You immune system is getting weaker, and your T and B cells are failing to keep up with the stress you put on your body. The reason you felt so much pain is because the poison, which still faintly lingers in you, saw the sudden drop in defenses and attacked your nervous system. So to summarize, if this keeps up you'll be dead"
She stopped, finishing with her results.
"So I just need to stop running around?" Conan asked, he was a bit confused as to want not to do.
The strawberry blond sighed tucking the papers under her arms.
"Yes, I would advise you not to go running around, or stressing your self out, for your immune system I can get you some special antibiotic to try and build it back up, but for now just stay inside, if you have to go out dress warm" she got up to walk out but stopped at the Library entrance.
"In the next year or so the poison should be completely out of are body's, but at the moment you are in a vary dangerous situation"
Conan nodded.
She suddenly perked up.
"Oh, and before I forget, Happy New Year" The girl side smirking as she walked out of the house.
The detective blinked.
"Geez" he huffed.
So that's why Ran had wanted him over tonight.
To Be Continued
I hope the technical stuff made sense, I really suck at Science (/)/(\) Anyway I hope you liked this chapter, tell me if anyone seemed OOC, Haibara made a lot more appearances then I wanted to but oh well, she such a fun character to wright. Poor Conan the world just seems to be against him.
Ill try to get the next chapter out as fast as I can, remember to leave a review if you wan't.
