Now, Onto the fic!
Rachel woke up a few minutes after Jimmy. She, however, was surprised to see the ruins of the Doctor's outer wall. Dressing hurriedly, she went to his house and knocked on the front door, being polite.
She then heard something she never wanted to hear again.
Jimmy screamed.
First Day Back
Abandoning all thoughts of courtesy, she threw open the front door and ran toward where the sound emanated from. Down one flight of stairs into Dr. Agasa's main experimental rooms is where she found a slightly nervous Dr. Agasa.
"Doctor!" she shouted. "Where is he? What's happening? Why did he-" she was cut off.
"Nothing! Nothing, Rachel! Just a little accident,"
They cringed at another scream.
"That-" she said, pointing, "Is not nothing!"
"Well I-, You see-, Jimmy-, well he came to try the antidote,"
Temporarily forgetting Jimmy she asked, "You found a cure!"
Dr. Agasa seemed more nervous, "... I think..."
"You think!" she asked, face paling, "And just what happens if you're wrong!"
"...I... don't know?" he said.
"YOU DON'T KNOW!" she squirmed to get past the doctor.
"No, Rachel! Jimmy asked me to keep you out of there!"
"Too bad!" she shouted back, finally wringing out of Dr. Agasa's grasp and opening the door.
Jimmy screamed again.
Rachel fell into shock at the sight before her eyes. Jimmy looked like he was burning. Smoke came from his skin and he convused in pain, but didn't shout. He looked to be about the age he was in Junior High school. She sheets had been kicked off down to his waist (which Rachel was grateful for). His face was contorted with the pain he was experiencing, and it was that fact that called Rachel to him.
"Jimmy!" she shouted, concern apparent in her voice.
'Rachel! No!' Jimmy thought through his torment. He twitched.
She ran to him, placing her cool hands on his burning shoulders, trying to get him through the transformation. "Jimmy!" she called desperately.
She watched helplessly as he grew and changed before her own eyes, a horrifying and terrible sight to behold.
She stood there, watching, for what seemed like hours, until Jimmy froze.
"Jimmy?" she inquired nervously through tears.
The said man tensed, and then relaxed, his eyes closed and his head fell to one side.
"Jimmy! she called more desperately. She pulled his head upward so she could look at him.
"Amy?" a voice asked from behind.
"Doctor?" she said.
"Are you alright?" he inquired.
"I... don't know,... Is he-?"
"I don't think so, but there are some people here who would like to see you," he said, showing his nervousness. From behind him, Rachel could see the forms of Mitch and George. Behind them, were two figures she knew, but couldn't show it to. They were police officers Satou and Takagi.
"Excuse me?" Satou said, "But is that Jimmy Kudo?" she asked, pointing.
Everyone looked at her.
"Ummm...Yes! He came back yesterday while Conan and I were here. He took Conan with him somewhere and didn't bring him back. I've been here all night. Jimmy got sick, so Dr. Agasa brought him down here!" Amy quickly made up.
"Oh,..." Satou replied. "Well little miss, I think we'll need full statements from you and mister Edogawa, so when he wakes up he'll have to tell you where he brought Conan, okay?"
"Okay!" Amy said. "Why don't we go out there to talk?" Amy pushed George and Mitch out the door, followed by Takagi and Satou. Amy want to follow them, but paused in the doorway.
'Jimmy,' she thought, glancing back up at him.
"See, Amy? We called the police, just like you said-" Mitch started as they walked down the hall.
"-And they went to the warehouse yesterday night and found the guys we locked up-" George continued.
"-But the guys were already dead, Amy! Dead!"
"What!" Amy asked, astounded.
"They were poisoned!" George said.
"Did you find any other evidence?" Amy asked.
"Well they found the spot where they kept Rachel, just like we did-" Mitch started again.
"-But there was no Rachel, just like last night-"
"Oh! Rachel came back home, although I wouldn't be surprised if she's out food shopping right now," Amy supplied.
They reached the living room.
"Now, little miss, can we get your account of what happened?" Takagi asked.
After the police had left with Mitch and George, Amy returned to Jimmy's room.
"Jimmy?" she asked hesitantly. There was no answer. "Please, Jimmy be alive," she begged, trying to discover a pulse.
There was one, but it was very faint.
"Rachel?" Doctor Agasa aksed, returning to the room. "Is he alright?"
"He has a pulse, but he's not returning to consciousness. I hope he's not in a coma,"
There was a pause. Then Doctor Agasa said, "It must have been painful,"
"That... is an understatement,"
"Well, you may as well go find Mitch and George and go-"
"Doc?" she cut him off, "I want to take the antidote,"
"But Rachel! We don't even know if Jimmy is going to survive! It's too dangerous!"
"Oh, It's too dangerous for me, but not for Jimmy!"
"Yes, well... Uh... Jimmy didn't want to let you take it until he was sure it was safe. And seeing as Jimmy's in no position to pass that verdict, we'll have to wait,"
"Oh no you don't! You're not getting outta this one that easily!... I'm going to take that antidote!"
"No!"
"Yes"
"No!"
"Yes,"
"No!"
"No,"
"Yes!"
"Glad you see it my way," Rachel finished.
Doctor Agasa, finally realising what he had said, grumbled.
"Let's go!" she said, leading the way into another of the doc's experiment rooms.
In a matter of minutes, she was set to go.
Rachel was now in the ssame position Jimmy was in before, left to ponder the contents and potentially disastrous consequences of the liquid.
'Oh well. Jimmy and I are in this together now. If he can take it, so can I. Our fate is in your hands, doc,' she thought.
She drank the purple liquid on the bedside table, laid back on the table, closed her eyes, and waited.
A horrendous scream woke Jimmy from his slumbering state.
"Rachel!" he shouted. Immediately getting up from the bed, wrapping the sheets around his naked torso. "Doc!" he shouted now.
"Jimmy? Oh thank goodness you woke up! Now I don't feel so bad,"
"Where's Rachel?" Jimmy asked.
"One-Track mind, Jimmy?"
Another scream.
"Nevermind, doc," Jimmy said, running toward the source of the scream. It was another experiment room, like the one he had just been in. "Doc! You didnt'!"
"She made me, Jimmy!" the doc tried in defense.
Jimmy tore open the door, not thinking of the consequence of a naked Rachel, and froze.
Luckily for him, Rachel's body was still covvered by the sheet of the bed. Her convulsions, twists, and turns, as well as the steam seeming to pour off her, were the things making him freeze.
"Rach!" he called desperately, running over to the burning girl. He remembered how painful this experience actually was, especially since he had only just recovered from it, and looked at the girl with concern. She had already become the beautiful woman he knew from High school.
Slciked with sewat, the sheets sticked to her in places that made Jimmy redden.
'Jimmy?' Rachel thought, before it all went black.
Under Jimmy's hands, Rachel stiffened, then loosened, letting her body relax.
Dr. Agasa entered the room, figuring if Rachel was indecent, Jimmy would have closed the door.
"You let her take it!" Jimmy rounded on Dr. Agasa.
"She made me!" he said pointing.
"And you let her come into my room! Doc! I thought I could trust you!"
"Neither of those were his fault, Jimmy," a female voice said.
"Rachel?" Jimmy asked, relieved.
"Jimmy," she said, sitting up.
Dr. Agasa made his exit as Jimmy ran to hold Rachel in his arms.
Jimmy had completely forgotten that they were both only being covered by sheets, and so was surprised and blushed when he could feel the contours of her high-school chest beneath the sheets, pressed up against his own chest.
"Jimmy, like I said, those were both my fault. I had to see you, especially after you screamed. The Doc tried to stop me, but I got by. And after, I ordered him to give me the antidote," she spoke into his neck.
"Okay, Rachel," Jimmy forgave, not really paying attention since he was a little distracted at the moment, feeling the hot breath on his neck.
They stood there hugging for what felt like hours, but in truth was only minutes, until Dr. Agasa came in and suggested they put clothes on. Blushing, the two teens agreed.
"But... our clothes are at my house," Jimmy said, Rachel's hand in his. He paused once they were at the door, "How do we get over there?"
"Not in sheets," Rachel said, finally noticing how hers were shaped.
Jimmy glanced at her nervously, wondering if she had yet realised that he had been hugging her in those sheets.
"Hmm..." the Doc thought, "I have a few extra lab coats, if you'd like to use those just to get over to the house,"
The coats turned out to be swimming on the two teens, but they would do to get over to the Kudo mansion.
Jimmy dressed in his room, then went to check on Rachel.
'Eep!" he said, seeing Rachel wasn't wearing a top yet, even though she had her back to him.
"Come on Jimmy, it isn't like you didn't 'see me' as Conan before," Rachel said, turning to him. Jimmy, like a good gentleman, closed his eyes.
"But Rachel," he said, eyes still closed, "It's... different now. I'm not just a little kid anymore, and it would be indecent,"
"Oh, so you don't want to see me?" Rachel said, playing hurt. She turned, slipping on a shirt, but Jimmy didn't know that.
"No, Rach! It's not that!" Jimmy said, then gasped, finally realising what he'd revealed.
"So you do want to see me," Rachel said, playing seductive now.
"Whaa.. I- um... I-" Jimmy stuttered.
"Jimmy, just open your eyes," she said.
Jimmy obeyed, seeing Rachel fully clothed, and making a fool out of him.
"You should see your face!" she laughed, a sound that brought a smile to his face.
"Do you want me to see you?" he countered.
Rachel stopped laughing. "What?" she asked.
"Do you want me to see you without clothes on?" he asked, making it more clear. He stepped toward her. She stepped back.
"Jimmy?" she asked, cautiously, backing up a few more paces.
"Do you, Rach?" he asked, continuing his forward trek.
"Jimmy- I- uh... I didn't-" she stuttered. Feeling herself up against the wall. Jimmy moved very close to her.
And then he kissed her.
"I didn't mean that, really Rachel," he said, breaking apart.
"Right," Rachel said, still in shock over the kiss.
Jimmy turned to leave.
"And just where do you think you're going?" Rachel asked after him, "You can't just leave a girl like that!"
"Can't I?" Jimmy retaliated. Turning again toward the door.
"No!" Rachel said, turning on him and pressing her lips to his.

"Rachel?"
"Jimmy! Is that you!"
"Glad to notice you still care!"
"Let's play a game!"
"What kind of game?"
"An American game... I learned it there, it's really fun,"
"What game is it Jimmy?"
"Clue,"
"I think it was Jimmy Kudo...
...In the bedroom...
...With his bare hands,"
