Interior Decorating

Heiji blinked, "That's an awful lot of floral patterns," he said, feeling dazed from the plethora of flowers.

Kazuha sighed and clasped her hands together, "I know. Isn't it beautiful?"

Heiji stared at her and looked down at his small companion. Conan was even more dazed as he watched Ran run from one thing to another.

"Kazuha-chan! Come look at this one!" Ran yelled. Kazuha left the boys alone as she went to Ran.

Conan broke out of his daze with a shutter. "I really hope they don't want to decorate their homes like that."

Heiji nodded in agreement. "What do you say we check out the electronics? I know I'd like to get my testosterone back. I think it feel out at the door."

Conan nodded and they turned to leave. Standing at the door was a pair of irate girls. "Where do you two think you're going," Kazuha and Ran said as one.

"Uh, um, I really want to check out a new game they have in electronics, Ran-neechan. Can we please go look at it?" Conan asked in 'you can't say no to me' mode.

"Okay, but you can't go anywhere else. That means if a murder happens, you are going to stay in electronics, or so help me, you will be in so much trouble," Ran said. She seemed to be come larger and more threatening with every word.

Heiji and Conan nodded quickly and ran out of the room.

"Hattori," Conan said as the slipped into the room with the latest and greatest electronics and games, "I think I am going to make sure a nothing floral every gets near anyplace I live. I like what masculinity I have."

Heiji simply nodded in agreement.

The next morning, over breakfast, Ran said with much enthusiasm, bringing out a catalogue, "Dad, I found a number of nice couches we could put in the Agency to replace those ratty old ones. I picked one out yesterday and they are going to deliver it today."

Conan managed a glimpse of the cover before Ran handed it over to her father. There was a very pink floral pattern on the cover. He swore he could hear music play in the background that was strongly reminiscent of a horror movie.
