Chapter One

"Edogawa Conan—no, Kudo Shinichi, is it?" The chilling voice came.

Conan froze and felt like the world had ceased to move as he turned and came feet from his worst nightmare. There was Gin, Vodka, Chianti, Korn, Kir, Bourbon, and Vermouth in the stairway to the Mouri household. He had just happened to walk home alone today because he wanted to read the latest release of his favorite detective serial, and he thanked God that he'd done so because that had kept all the Detective Boys, especially Haibara away from this current situation. Ran hadn't gotten home from school yet, he was sure, because of having karate club that day, and once again, he thanked God for this. And if Kogoro was home, he obviously wasn't a target seeing as there was no evidence of a murder or kidnapping, but Conan assumed he must've been off playing mahjong or drinking, otherwise, the suspicious group wouldn't have been able to sneak around this inconspicuously.

Conan knew it was a stupid idea, but he had to try as he said in a childish voice, "Are you here to talk to Oji-san about a case or maybe you're from a movie set? You're all dressed in black like secret agents!"

"Cut the crap, Kudo! If you'd like we can compare your DNA, but I'm sure you know that that isn't necessary." Gin shouted.

Shinichi froze in horror and whispered, "Fine… if you're here to kill me, I suggest you do it fast otherwise the other residents or the downstairs café owner may stumble on the scene. They aren't involved in this, so I'm hoping you don't plan to murder a whole family and business."

"No, we don't intend to close up any loose ends."

Shinichi was slightly surprised that they didn't know about the others' awareness of his form, but he held fast to a poker face. He probably couldn't save himself, but he could save Hattori, Haibara, his parents, Agasa, and KID.

"Good, then just end it…"

Gin simply laughed, chilling Shinichi to the core, and said, "You think we're here to kill you? Oh, no, you are mistaken, Tantei-kun."

"Th-then what do you want from me? I'm not stupid enough to think you'd just leave me be and let me live."

"You are correct. When we're done with you, you'll wish for death, but the Boss has other intentions for you."

Shinichi tried his best not to show his fear, lest he give them the satisfaction of seeing him cower before them.

"Now, you will come with us quietly. I'm sure you're smart enough to know that if you try to cause a scene, we can start a kill count."

"No, I'll come with you. Just lead the way. May I leave a note, though? Ran and Oji-san will worry otherwise, and then, that would make things more difficult."

"As you wish, but we will read this note to make sure you haven't left behind a clue. The Sleeping Kogoro may be a fake, but we won't put it past him that he could possibly deduce something right."

"Y-you know about that?"

"Yes, the person who ratted you out informed us that a certain inventor made you a bunch of toys."

"EH!?"

"Oh don't worry, we won't kill that bumbling Agasa. As tempting of an idea as that may be, our informant made it her one request for spilling her guts, and besides, even if he knew about some of this, on his own he wouldn't be smart enough to find you."

"I see… may I know who told you of my true identity?"

"Let's just put it this way, when you get to the headquarters, you will finally get to be Shinichi Kudo again, but solely for the fact that we need to study you in both forms to understand the change. Think of who could possibly have made an antidote…"

Shinichi froze as the words "Haibara" slipped of his tongue.

"Very good. Poor thing, you should've seen face when Rum told us about the little Miyano Shiho he'd seen, and we picked her up outside the school gate. She came with us calmly to keep the rest of the little detective brats who were playing inside from having to die. Then when your name came up, she denied the possibility that you were alive, but then, Rum explained he'd recalled a young boy named Conan-kun with her that day. We looked into this so-called 'Conan' and found no one in the registry by the name of Edogawa Conan, but when we looked into when he first surfaced, as well as Mouri Kogoro's sudden rise in popularity, we were able to put two-and-two together. When she finally confirmed your existence, she did so only with the condition that we wouldn't kill the Professor."

Conan was horrified wondering what had become of Haibara, but Gin continued, "We suspected that there were others that may have known, but since we didn't have definite proof and most of them were high profile people, we decided that it would be too risky to kill them all. And if you play nice, we might keep them that way. I heard the Detective of the West, Hattori Heiji is the son of Superintendent Supervisor of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, Hattori Heizo. We can't just murder the boy, especially considering that brat in a ponytail, Toyama Kazuha, follows him like a lost puppy and is the daughter of Chief Criminal Investigator at the same district, Toyama Ginshiro. However, motorcycle accidents can cause some of the highest percentages of vehicular casualties, and it would be terrible if the boy would someday be killed by a reckless driver mowing through a red light."

Conan looked at him shocked and said, "Hattori knows nothing! Even if he did suspect anything, I've kept him in the dark away from anything to do with this case."

"Good, then there's your parents. While it is harder to kill abroad targets, it's not impossible, but again with one being a former actress, especially one with connections to a certain Sharon Vineyard, and the other being a famous mystery novelist, fans would be speculative of them both dying together. Now, it wouldn't be so suspicious if one were to die of natural causes and the other, sometime later were to go in an accident. We could even use the same Apotoxin on him that we used on you; I wonder how lucky your father would be against the drug in comparison to you." Gin said, sneering as Vermouth looked down ashamed.

Conan looked down frustrated and saw Vermouth mouth, "I'm so sorry…"

"Kaitou KID has been known to disguise himself as you on many occasions, but he has also disguised himself as Mouri Ran, Mouri Kogoro, Sherry, Inspector Nakamori, etc. So we realize that that doesn't prove that he may or may not have put the connection between you and the missing high school detective together. The only other we suspected made us laugh in irony. Of all the people not to tell, we lost it at the thought that you'd leave your lover out of it. We really looked into it and interrogated Sherry, but we were met with the cold-stone fact, Mouri Ran is guilty of nothing more than being a caring person who would house a small child whose parents were abroad. How cold-hearted, Kudo, that you won't even tell the one you loved."

"…It's because I love her that I refused to tell her." Shinichi whispered.

"Aw, isn't that sweet. Well, we'll leave her be, too, because if she disappears we'll have that bumbling detective asking questions. He may be a complete moron, but that fool has a crazy loyalty to his daughter and wife."

Shinichi almost had tears in his eyes at realization that Ran would be safe. He wrote the note, and Gin looked over it before nodding. Shinichi placed it down and quickly packed up all of Conan's stuff, to appear like his mother had taken him home. Some of the group headed off first to lower suspicion to the large group of uniformed people. As Shinichi followed Vermouth and Gin, posing as their child, he threw his belongings in a nearby dumpster. He had no use for those clothes or books. After all, you couldn't take things with you in Hell, and that's where he knew he'd be going.
