A/N.
Hello people, this is my first fanfiction. Nice to meet you! I'm Silver Bullet-Wolf25, or SkyWolf25. That name is too long, so just call me sky or wolf.
Please R&R and tell me what's good/bad, and give me some suggestions on how the fic should be written. This fanfic will be dry of romance, and there will be no slash. I prefer action and fantasy and mysteries :D. I will follow the original pairings. Oh, and I try to follow the character's original personality as much as possible, though I'm not very good at it yet. I will improve!

'Thinking'
A/N: Author Notes
Okiya Subaru entered the 2nd floor of the department store, apparently looking casually around for things to buy. He looked like any other customer in the store, but he actually had another reason: He was looking for the Black Organization members. He had overheard a FBI phone conversation by bugging the phones that the B.O. members were going to be there to get something, and had come to the store to investigate.
'Using a department store for a place to deal? They must be getting bolder.'
Just then, he spotted a pair of suspicious people hurrying into a room. 'There they are,' he thought, smirking, and he started to approach the room cautiously. Unfortunately, the department store staff members found them first.
"This is a room for staff members only. So please go out- what are those? !"
Veteran B.O. members would have found a way to weasel out of the situation, but the members who came to the store were no veteran members. In fact, they were new members who didn't even have code names. So they did the only thing dangerous yet inexperienced criminals caught red-handed in a crime would do; they panicked and became violent. The new members took out their guns and some other weapons, which had been craftily hidden, and cried out
"We have bombs and guns! Approach us, and we shoot!"
The customers who had been near froze in their tracks. The staff members screamed. One of the BO members stepped up to the staff members and ordered something. The staff members nodded with a scared expression, and went somewhere. A little while later, an announcement rang out.
Everybody please gather on the 2nd floor. Everybody please gather on the 2nd floor.
Sometime after the announcement, the bewildered and scared customers and staff members gathered on the 2nd floor. The B.O. members checked (made the staff check) that everybody was there, and started a discussion among them. The gathered people started to talk among themselves as well. A man took out his phone and started to call the police.
BANG!
The startled man stared at his now smashed phone. Everybody went silent, shocked by what had just happened. A blond B.O. member glared threateningly at him, his gun still raised.
"Next time any of you try to call the police, the bullet will end up in your head."
The customers gasped and started to talk more worriedly. Subaru just smirked and pushed up his glasses.
'I get it. Their original plan was to gather everybody on the second floor and escape without further trouble, but since the boss will certainly kill them if they returned after creating a chaos with no benefits, they are trying to make up a plan to gain something. After that, they will leave without leaving a trace.'
His left hand gripped his gun, which he had hidden inside the inner pocket of his coat.
'But I won't let that happen, will I?' Thinking this, he crouched down a little and handed his phone to a boy nearby who looked about 14."Call the police." he quietly told the teenager. The boy, scared, glanced at the B.O. members, who were still talking about what to do.
"It's okay. I'll make a diversion so that they won't spot you."
The boy still looked a lot scared, but after a moment he nodded with a look of determination. Subaru smiled reassuringly at him."Fear of death is worse than death itself*. Don't get scared, and you will be the hero who bravely called the police and saved the hostages." He said.
Straightening up again, he raised his right hand and said "Um, excuse me." The B.O. members turned to stare incredulously at the calm cherry-blond man who had the guts to address them. Subaru lowered his right hand and pulled out his left hand. In his left hand was the gun he had hidden in his pocket. Everybody looked surprised. Subaru smiled innocently(something he had worked on for a while) and said, "I think you dropped this."
"Why, you-" the blond member raised his gun and tried to shoot Subaru, but Subaru was quicker: He shot the gun out of the B.O. member's hands before he had a chance to react. He glanced behind to see that the teenager was talking to the police during the chaos. He didn't look scared now, only determined. Subaru smiled slightly, reminded of a certain 7year-old kid in glasses who had helped him and the FBI-
BANG!
A bullet grazed Subaru's arm. The crowd screamed. 'Kuso! I should have paid more attention!' The hostages moved farther away to escape from the bullets. 'I can't fight here. Those people might get hurt.' His eyes spotted the staircase. 'I'll have to lead them down.'
He fired a few more bullets in the direction of the B.O. members (all of them grazed or ended upin their legs/arms) and started to move slowly towards the staircase.
"He's trying to escape by using the staircase!" A spiky-haired member shouted, and all of them started to run towards him, firing bullets. They followed him quickly down the staircase. Subaru had been grazed by bullets and been bruised in a lot of places, but he now had a clear shot without any obstacles, such as screaming hostages. He fired a few more times, and allof them pierced the B.O. members' legs, arms, or shoulders(he wasn't aiming on killing them), but his hair was getting in the way, making it harder to aim properly.
'Might as well show who I am. They won't know me since they're new and since Gin thinks I'm dead.'
Making a decision, he ripped off his mask and fake hair, and instead of Okiya Subaru, a normal engineering student, there stood Akai Shuichi, the silver bullet FBI agent who had been thought to be dead. The B.O. members were shocked and froze, but they didn't seem to recognize him, just as he had expected. He burned up the mask and fake hair using his lighter(it caught fire and burned up easily), put on his signature black knit hat, smirked, and said
"It's show time."
In 5 seconds, all of the BO members were down. Akai calmly surveyed the result. Everybody was groaning in pain because of the bullets lodged firmly in their bodies. 'That was easy. Now to wait for the police-' he whipped around to see 20 more new BO members coming down from the staircase. 'There were more? The organization usually doesn't recruit large numbers at once!' He easily shot 10 of them down, quickly firing and dodging. He aimed the gun at the 11th BO member and the pulled the trigger, but all that came out was a small click. 'damn! I'm out of bullets!'
The newbie BO members, who had been cowering before, now smirked triumphantly and aimed. Akai cursed again, feinted to the left, then sprinted to the right, leading them to a maze of shops and depriving them of a clear shot. They became separated. Akai spotted one of the BO members with his back to him, and kicked his head before he could turn around, knocking him down.
He reached for the unconscious man's gun, but BO number 12 shot the gun, damaging it and making it useless. 12 tried to shoot Akai, but his gun had also run out of bullets. Akai sprinted forward, punched 12's stomach and whacked 12's neck with the blade of his hand, rendering him unconscious. Something moved behind him, and he whirled around with a back turn kick, just in time to catch BO number 13, who had been about to shoot him. 13 accidently pulled the trigger as he fell, and shot BO 14's leg, who had been behind 13. Akai kicked 14's other leg, toppling her. They hit the wall and got knocked out.
Suddenly, 15 hurtled out of the shop in front of Akai, yelling. Surprised, Akai automatically stepped back to balance himself and tripped over an unconscious body. He staggered and misstepped, twisting his right ankle. Pain shot up his right leg. 15 crowed triumphantly and advanced slowly, relishing his apparant moment of victory. Akai gritted his teeth, picked up the unconscious BO's gun(unfortunately it was the empty one), and hurled it at 15. He got it full in the face and fell over. Akai took his gun and easily shot 16, 17, and 18. 19 came in front of him, and he turned his attention to 19 readying the gun.
Then, something moved quickly behind him. He tried to turn, but his right ankle faltered and it was too late. 20 hit him on the back of his head, and he fell down, semiconscious. 19 and 20 stood over him, grinning maliciously. 19 reached for his gun, but 20 stopped him and pulled out something.
"These are the pills that I talked about." He boasted.
"You mean the pills that could kill without leaving any traces?"
"Aye. I'll give him two to make his death more painful." They both laughed.
20 shoved 2 pills into Akai's mouth and trickled some water to make him swallow. Chuckling evily, they walked away. Almost instantly, he felt a strong wave of pain. His whole body shook. The pain from his ankle was nothing compared to this. Another wave of pain coursed though his body. He clenched his fists. He could faintly hear the sound of the police sirens and the surprised yells of the BO members.
'So this is how I die. Well, at least I put some of those dirty crows into jail.'
Then another wave of pain shot through him, and everything went black.
"-i! Oi! Wake up!" Akai saw a blurry image of a man crouching in front of him. He blinked to clear his eyes. 'So I'm not dead?' He tried to move his legs. Pain shot up from his right ankle. Groaning, he sat up. For some reason, everything seemed to be taller than before. He glanced at the man. He was a police officer. He looked relieved to see Akai sit up. "Are you all right?" The officer asked. He glanced up to see blood trickling from Akai's forehead,staining his knit hat.
"Whoa, that's a nasty bruise. Does it hurt a lot? Weren't you scared?"
Akai just stared at him. Something about the way the officer addressed him was strange. His head throbbed. The pain was finally coming to him. Wincing a little, he reached up, then saw that the sleeves of his clothes were way longer than they should have been, and were wrinkled and dangling. His trousers were the same way as well. Akai was a person who rarely showed his emotions, but his eyes widened. The officer misunderstood the reason.
"It does hurt, doesn't it?" He said sympathetically. "Where's your mother?"
'Where's my mo- is he serious?' Akai started to ask "What are yo-" then shut his mouth quickly. His voice was lighter than it should have been. Too light to be an adult's. 'What's happening?' His attention whipped to the conversation the police officer was having with his radio: "Nobody's seriously hurt. There's a boy about 7year-old with a bruise on the head. He…"
Akai had stopped listening. 'Seven year-old boy?' He shot up and ran to a mirror. There, instead of himself, he saw a kid with green eyes and a knit hat tilted to one side, in clothes too big for him. 'Nani? How could this happen?' He remembered the pills the BO members had given him. 'The pills!' He glanced around to see the police officer coming towards him. 'I can't let him catch me!' He sprinted out of the building, ignoring the officer's surprised yells and the pain from his right ankle, and headed towards the Agasa residence.
Akai had nearly reached the Agasa residence. His pace had slowed to a limp a long time ago, and he was panting; his strength had been reduced to that of a 7 year-old. His right leg was throbbing. It was nearly night, and nobody was on the streets. He had thought of going to the Mouri detective agency at first, but then he remembered that Conan was planning to go to the Agasa residence(he had overheard the phone conversation outside the door with the excuse that he had brought them some curry). Anyway there was a girl and the girl's father there as well, so he couldn't go there without informing them as well.
He reached the gates, limped up to the front door, and knocked on the door. There was no answer. He knocked on it again and called out "Oi! Help! Open the door!" He heard Conan's voice say "I'm coming!"and the door opened.
-Conan(with a little bit of backwards time leap)-
Conan had come to the Agasa residence because Kogoro was outside(probably in a bar), and Ran had to go to karate practice. He had argued that he'll be fine by himself, but Ran was too concerned about his safety. So he had ended up in the Agasa residence listening to exploding inventions and Haibara's sarcastic remarks. It was nearly night, and Conan was planning to go to bed(he had nothing to do, so he thought he might as well go to sleep) when he heard a knock outside the door. Agasa looked up from his inventions. Conan looked up as well. Haibara was in the basement, experimenting.
"Did you invite someone, Hakase?" Conan asked. Agasa shook his head. There was another knock, and a voice called out, "Oi! Help! Open the door!" Conan frowned. The voice was vaguely familiar. "I think he needs help." He said to Agasa,and went to open the door, calling "I'm coming!" He opened the door to see…
"A, Akai-san?"
A/N:
My fanfic is not dead unless I said so; it's just taking a long time to upload another chapter, so please wait until another chapter comes.
Reviews always help. :)
*: That's what Akai said to Andre Camel in Clash of Red and Black. I believe it was a quote from Hamlet.
