Disclaimer: Detective Conan is NOT mine, if it is, itd have a lot less dead people in it.

And just so you know, Ran and Shinichi does not end up together in this story, sorry if you dont like the pairing. Also, this is my first fan fic, so if its not very good, just bear with me, okay? Here goes!

Chapter one

She cautiously approached the door in front of her; the hallway she's in is so dark she could barely see where she's going. Opening the door, she saw the lab she had so frequently worked in, and laying on the floor in the middle if the room, is Akemi Miyano.

"Onee-chan!!!!!" she ran to her sister's motionless form, knowing all to well that there's nothing she can do. Then she heard the footsteps.

"Long time no see, Sherry."

Him.

"No worries, we'll have you with your sister soon, right after you tell us what you know about Kudo Shinichi." said Gin, drawing out his gun.

Everything suddenly went black, and then she heard the gunshot.

Haibara Ai woke, shaking, the stack of paper beside her scattered across the floor. Her computer is still on. She had again fallen asleep while trying to find the antidote to cure Kudo.

This is the third nightmare she's had all week. And it's only Wednesday.

"Don't be stupid," she told herself as she bent to pick up the fallen pieces of paper."They won't find you here."But she knows its not true. Years in the organization had taught her that there is nothing they aren't capable of. She shook the thought from her head. There are more important things she needed to focus on. The antidote.

It's been two years since she escaped, since the professor took her in. Since the first time she had people besides her sister whom she could call friends(no matter how childish they are). And also since she started her research for the antidote to APTX.

Lately, Kudo's been pestering her about turning back to his normal self more and more frequently. Asking for the temporary ones, knowing full well that those half finished pills could kill him, all for his precious Ran.

Not that she should care. Why should she be the one to worry when it's his life he's risking?

All her energy is going into NOT answering that question.

"Seriously, what is wrong with me lately?" she thought to herself furiously. "The only reason I'm trying so hard to find the antidote is because I feel guilty for ruining his life, that's all it is, nothing else, and why am I thinking things like this?"

Her thoughts are interrupted by Prof. Agasa's knock on the door. "Ai-kun, I heard something, is everything alright? It's three in the morning, get some sleep."

"Er, yeah, I'm fine."

She switched of the computer, and tried to get some rest.

Right, she doesn't care. Then what's that feeling in the stomach that she has whenever she sees the look on Shinichi's face when he's talking about Ran? Shinichi… somehow that suddenly sounds so much better than just Kudo…

"I've defiantly been out of the organization too long" she thought."I'm getting way too emotional."
