OCTOBER SECRETS

The request from Aniki-XVI : Dark Conan kidnapping with a couple of interesting turns that you'll see later on.

I'm warning those who wander this page again: This is going to feature character death and other adult themes, if you are opposed to reading such things please exit stage X now. As for the rest of you, enjoy your morbid requested character death.

The break lines represent changes in point of view. This is my first total angst/tragedy fic, so let me know what you think.

Last Time:

He pulled the tape slowly off of Edogawa's face with the most evil look he could muster. The look that crossed Edogawa Conan's face made every ounce of preparation worth it. The smallest boy started tugging at his bonds, and only managed to give himself friction burns as the inspector leered down at him. "It's pointless, you're not going anywhere… Kudou Shinichi."

SHINICHI -3

He sat there watching in horror as Shiratori approached him, Shinichi tripped over his feet. When had his feet been tied together, and when had his hands been bound? The look that was on Shiratori's face made his insides turn, it was not unlike the glare that Gin gave him. Shinichi schooled his features as best he could, but being tied up and having an expression like that directed towards him had its' morale effects of the shrunken detective.

Was Shiratori working for the black organization? Shinichi's panic levels had risen to the point he was almost going to give himself a stroke. Shiratori leaned back against a tree for a second, perhaps if he screamed he might draw some help towards them? A finger was pressed against the other man's lips in silent mocking, the detective looked at his surroundings and discovered that they were in the middle of a forest. There would likely be no one to call for help, that and he would wake the other Shonen Tantei that he had just noticed in the backseat of the squad car.

There was no reason to allude to the danger that surrounded them, they would all die if this was what he thought it was. Anyone who knew, or even suspected, that he was Kudou Shinichi with this resulting treatment could not be a friend of his. The shrunken detective took shaky deep breaths trying to settle down enough to at least try to negotiate with the crazed inspector. He had to try for Mitsuhiko and Genta's sakes…

"Shiratori san, what makes you think that I am Kudou Shinichi?" he started off, best to get that portion out of the way first…

"A hunch, you have no background until the day of Kudou's disappearance. You also implement his case solving methods, not to mention you are clearly not as young as you appear to be," the inspector took out a small notebook, "not to mention every time that Kudou appeared you were mysteriously unavailable. Care to explain that to me Edogawa?" Shinichi tried not to think too much on all the times he had screwed up alibi wise, but certainly his identity was not that easy for the man to find out.

"I'd rather not. Is there any way you'll let Genta and Mitsuhiko go?" his identity may have been revealed to the officer, but that didn't explain the presence of the two innocent Shonen Tantei. The inspector's head shook slightly with a small smirk, "I don't suppose you'll tell me why you have us bound like prisoners?" The officer grabbed his cheek roughly causing the detective to inhale and recoil at the touch.

"I was hired to bring down Mouri Meitantei, however given that you are the mastermind behind that… they will have to die as well," Shiratori rested his forehead against the young detective's, "you will suffer, as for how much they suffer I will leave that up to you. Given that route there are three ways they could die. The first is a given, slowly and painfully as well as traumatized, the second is quickly and their parents will receive the bodies to bury so they have some closure. The third is slowly but mentally traumatizing, but no pain."

Shinichi couldn't very well let the two innocents pay for something that he seemed to be the root cause of. The only question was what was required of him to get this killer to show some kindness towards his two kiddie friends. The detective was so caught up in his musings that it took him a minute to realize that he was being kissed. His mind fell into overdrive, he now realized that Shiratori was much more twisted that he had come to believe in last few moments. When the inspector pulled back Shinichi seized his chance, he needed to know.

"They haven't done anything wrong, if I let any harm come to them I'll never be able to forgive myself…" he started, the inspector gave him a thoughtful but still warped expression. "Please just leave them alone, they haven't got anything to do with this. Do what you will to me, but leave them alone…" The detective begged, even with all the headaches they caused him he still felt that they didn't deserve to die in pain or suffering.

KIDNAPPER- 4

Having a hunch about something does not automatically make it anymore a reality, but to have the small detective confirm that hunch? Shiratori was surprised that Edogawa was Kudou, it meant he won the office bet at least. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police force had a running bet on why Edogawa Conan was involved in so many cases. Sato and Takagi keiji had been close, they had the murder magnet theory. Megure keibu thought the boy actively sought out the crimes, while the CSI detectives had in fact stated that the kid had some sort of sixth sense for the crimes. Other theories involved Mouri tantei, and they had been dismissed by most of the inspectors.

The police inspector watched the gears turning in the detective's mind, it was interesting that the child was attempting to remain calm at this point. It only pointed further toward the fact the child was not in fact a child. When Shiratori realized just how much the detective was thinking, he forced a kiss on the bewildered detective. For a few seconds there wasn't even a response, then the widening of the boy's eyes.

When he released the detective he could see the huge intake of air, was he going to scream? It was interesting, the question he asked, though it wasn't really phrased like a question. The boy did however say something peculiar at that point, a sadistic thought crossed his mind for later…

"We'll see what happens based on your actions tantei san, now I'm going to put you back in that car and we are going to finish our trip. When we get to our destination I will then decide based off you what will happen to your friends," he informed the detective, "as long as you be a good little captive they'll be dispatched to the afterlife quickly. If you decide to get cheeky and try something I most certainly make you regret it boya. Here we go…" He buckled the child sized detective into the front side, and walked over to his side of the car.

"What are you going to do with us?" the detective finally settled on. Shiratori turned over the engine smoothly, he would let the detective speculate himself to a stroke. He had no intention of making any of this easy for the detective.

SHINICHI - 4

When Mitsuhiko and Genta started to wake in the back seat Shinichi knew things would get worse. He put a hand, or tried to, to his lips where they had been crushed by Shiratori's. He had some sort of vague fear that if he didn't co-operate with the nutcase inspector, this had no real flipside.

"Relax, or we will revisit my stash of chloroform boys. Here's how things are going to be," Shiratori explained in a strangely causal voice, "your fates are to be determined by the actions of your leader, Kudou Shinichi, the one you know better as Edogawa Conan." Shinichi attempted to calm himself, Mitsuhiko and Genta would never believe it… or would they.

"I'm not sure help will come for us, but I want to tell you this much," Shinichi squirmed until he could see their eyes, "I am sorry for everything." Shiratori licked his lips gaining his attention. When he pulled out a cloth shammy Shinichi looked confused.

"Blindfold them with that crossing over their ears or stuff it over in ears. You don't want them to see this Kudou," the dark look that crossed the inspector's face made his hair stand on end. He could do nothing but comply with the demands set before him however, "it will be a short trip, and I expect that everything will be perfect when we get there." To the two semi innocent boys in the back seat they must have thought it was an actual trip of some sort. Shinichi was probably the only one that noticed the heavy amount of lust in the demented inspector's eyes.

"Understood. Please trust me guys, and don't do anything stupid," Shinichi prayed softly that they followed instructions well enough to stay out of trouble. He finished covering their ears and eyes slowly. As he climbed over the armrest back to his seat he noticed the cruel look in the crazed inspector's eyes had only grown more malevolent. His own stress level skyrocketed and he slowly started to dwell on what inevitably going to happen with all the information he now possessed. It did not look promising to the shrunken detective, and most options started or ended with them dead. He just prayed that the man wasn't into necrophilia …

a/n: sorry for the long delay there Aniki-xvi. This isn't really the sort of thing you can type when people have a tendency to peer over your shoulder and read. I hope to have more of it out soon, and I'm still working on how our 'rescuer', (who is not to mentioned out of PM for surprise for anyone else who decides to read this,) appears. I have a couple of ideas on it... Are you enjoying it?
