Chapter 1: Where it All Began…
(Osaka, 4:55 PM)
[Narrator's POV]
A dark skinned young man walk through the crowd of the Osaka Prefecture's sidewalk, he kept dialing his best friend's cellphone number,
'Kudo… Why aren' ya pickin' up yer phone!' the young sleuth yelled inside his mind as he kept staring at the cellphone in his palm, there was a name 'Kudo' on the screen, then the line went dead a vein then popped on his head, heat coming out of his ears,
"Wha' da hell is he thinkin'!" he finally screamed, people caught his attention but he didn't mind, then a drop of water fell from the sky, the sky was filled with gray clouds then a small thunder was seen then a load roar of thunder was heard, then the rain began to pour heavily and wickedly,
"Oh, great!" he yelled still angry, then he dashed through the crowds, and sidewalks, still he was facing his phone and kept redialing his best friend's number, then…
*BAM!* his sight blurred, he felt that he actually bumped into someone, once his vision began to clear slightly, he could see a red and black cap and a black shiny hair, and it where something blue,
"Ittee… Sorry I wasn' looking…" the voice was rough but surely it was a female's voice, as his vision was cleared enough, the girl has a very long black hair, her face was covered by a BIG Osaka's cap (a soccer team in Osaka) she wore a blue jersey jacket, a black top printed with a skull and other symbols under it, she also wear a blue jeans and a white athletic shoes, she was on top of him causing him to blush, both of them were soaking wet in the rain, she is panting then she look at her silver wristwatch, he could see the watch and a red beaded bracelet next to it, then she suddenly panicked, "Sorry but I've gotta go…." she continued, then she got up, then started to run the direction to the Bullet train station, he was speechless forgetting the fact of the heavy rain pouring, then he finally snapped out of his daydreaming, he then got up picked up the phone and started to run the direction to his home, as he entered the gate, he remembered the actual events, when the girl bumped to him, then he entered the house, he then tugged of his soaked wet shoes, not even putting on some slippers, he went straight to the bathroom, he took a bath then he got out drying himself with a towel on his waist, then changed into a light brown pants, and a black top, then a smirk crossed his face,
"Better tell Kudo 'bout this…" he mumbled, then started to redial Kudo Shinichi's phone number again, which was a number to 'Edogawa Conan's' phone… then he waited snickering a bit, as he remembered about the incident,
- (Himamaru Café, Beika, 5:25 PM) -
'Hattori must be mad right now…' Conan thought helplessly as he was in a stall in the café's rest room, 'What was the manager thinking? Putting a device in this café, that when the electricity goes out the cell phones of the people inside turns off too! Great because of that Hattori will be freaking mad at me' he was now getting annoyed, about the black out, and about the manager has yet to put a regenerator in the store, then the lights went on, he could hear people cheering outside the rest room and people by the stall sighing, he immediately turned on his 'Conan' phone then almost immediately it vibrated an started ringing, he sighed in defeat, then picked it up without even reading the caller's name,
"H-hello…" he answered anxiously,
"WHA' DA HELL TOOK YA SO LONG!?" Hattori yelled in, as Conan stretched his arm as long as he could away from his ear defending it from becoming deaf
"It's not my fault, it's because of the stupid black out and we were in the Himamaru café that have yet installed a regenerator!" Conan answered immediately and almost not breathing,
"Oh," was his only reply, "so, why did ya call?" the Kansai detective asked,
"just hear me out…" there was a silence, then Conan decided to break it, "It all started because Occhan received a mail from online, it said to help her find her sister's and kidnapper's whereabouts, she said to meet us at Himamaru Café, she said that she will fill us the details when we meet her here at one o'clock…" he sighed
"I see… how did you know that she is a female? And her name, who is she?" Hattori asked
"Unfortunately she didn't tell us her name, I know that she was a girl because she signed the end of the mail 'First Daughter of the Third Generation of Hizukawa Family,'" Conan answered
"So why did ya ask fer ma help? And where is she?"
"I called you, because Ran asked me to, and she hasn't arrived yet,"
"Wha'? Yah guys waited for four and a half 'aven' ya? And why did Neechan asked to call me?"
"Ran said that we should wait for her, the reason I called you, and the reason why Ran asked for us to wait have a the same reason, it was all my fault because I told them that the client is now living in Osaka, because in the letter she wrote it like a Kansai-jin, no matter how she disguise herself as a Tokyoite, so Ran said that she was just probably late, and I called you because of the fact that she said Hizukawa, Ran said that they are pretty rich and asked me to call you and ask you if you by any chance know or heard of a daughter from the Hizukawa family," Conan said it breathlessly to avoid being interrupted by the Osakan sleuth,
"Hmm… I see, but unfortunately, no I don' know anyone from da Hizukawa family, but I heard dat they are quite rich and have three daughters, but not their names…." The Osakan sighed
"I see…. I knew it…" Conan sighed grinning as he imagined Hattori's annoyed face and his eyebrow twitching,
"Wha' did ya say! Oh, an' Kudo movin' all dat aside, earlier I bumped into someone, and somethin' outrageous happened all thanks ta you," Hattori snickered, Conan now could imagine his smug look, Conan now was annoyed for him to change the subject, Hattori then started to explain what happened but not everything, after explaining,
"So what really did happen?" the not-so-child asked annoyed,
"Well, like I told ya since she was in a hurry she didn' seem ta notice dat when dat happens ta others an' if they notice they would actually come back fer me! Well ya see when she bumped inta me, my phone fell out of ma hands and her breast met ma stomach and the other met my….." the sleuth began to whisper the last part, as the not-so-child listen his face started to blush crimson red,
"NANI! MAAJI?" he yelled ignoring other people wondering where the voice came from,
"Yea, it really did happen…so….Kudo, A-RI-GA-TOU!" the Osakan teased as Conan's eyebrow kept twitching as he imagine the look on his friend's face and cursing himself for calling right now Conan wanted to kick a soccer to Hattori's face, 'I'll get you for that! You just got lucky you idiot' Conan thought angrily, then he heard a slamming of the door opened and a voice following it from the other side of the phone,
"HEIJI! Did ya tell Ran-chan 'bout tommora?" it was Kazuha, Conan grinned at the love bird's quarrel,
"I was 'bout ta when ya barged inta ma room without knockin' yer Ahou!" ther came a reply from Hattori, Conan chuckled as he exited the stall and walk towards the door,
"Who ya callin' Ahou, yer da one who is da Ahou!" Kazuha yelled back, as Conan heads to Ran, Kogorou and his table still grinning,
"Wha' did ya say?"
"Hey! I'm still here and what's the event tomorrow?" Conan break in the couple's fight,
"Oh, dat I was 'bout ta tell yah, me an' dis bakanoko are planin' ta stay with ya guys tommora since we have a vacation startin' tommora an' ask if ya guys could show us around or somethin'" Hattori answered teasing his childhood friend at the same time,
"Who ya callin' Bakanoko!" Kazuha tried to fight back only to be ignored, Conan now reached his destination and only to see a stranger with Ran and Kogorou they seem to have a conversation,
"So, Ku-no I mean Conan-kun tell Neechan and Occhan fer me, and as fer da girl, she has a long, black hair dat ends by her knees, she wears da BIG Osaka's cap, a blue jersey jacket an' a black top printed with a skull and other symbols under it, she wore blue jeans, an' a white athletic shoes, an' as fer her face I couldn't see it because of 'er cap, but I suspect dat she is probably 13-15 years old by 'er height an' 'er voice is kinda rough," as the Osakan explained Conan's eyes widened as he eyed the stranger whom his friend identified perfectly, "I'm only tellin' ya dis because it might been 'er," the Osakan continued only to be ignored, Ran, Kogorou and the stranger noticed Conan approach them but did not disturb his conversation, "Oi 're ya listenin'?"
"Yea, thanks…" Conan replied then thought of something, then grinned, "See ya tommora Heiji-niichan!" he chirped speaking in Osaka-ben at the same time which made the stranger shiver, then he turned off his phone not waiting for an answer then took his seat happily,
"So, what did he say?" Ran asked cheerfully,
"No, he said that he didn't know, he heard of them but not their names though," he answered in a childish tone, but seriously also dropping the Osaka-accent, "Oh, and he said, he and Kazuha-neechan are going to stay at our place on their vacation and asked us to show them around…."
"I see…" Ran said, Conan then turn to see the stranger as she removed her cap he and Kogorou blushed slightly, she look a lot like Ran, only she is younger and has a reddish-brown eyes, and was soaking wet but some dried a little
"Ne, Ran-neechan who is she?" Conan managed to ask,
"I'm Hizukawa Rena, pleased to meet you Edogawa Conan-kun…" the stranger answered not letting Ran do the introduction, Conan paled at her answer, Ran and Kogorou's eyes widened,
"H-how did you-" Conan tried to ask,
"You're really popular, as Kid's rival, and my father would really be pleased to meet you," she answered, passing a note to him that says in English ' .PRIVATELY' then he hid the paper in his pocket, she smiled that made him blush more, "And he also heard a lot about you from Yuki-senpai and Yuusaku-sensei," she continued, and she was not speaking in Osaka-accent,
"Yuki-senpai? Yuusaku-sensei? Ran and Kogorou repeated, with a confusing look, Conan's eyes widened,
"Ale? I thought you knew them Mouri Ran-san, Kogorou-san, since you know Kudo Shinichi, am I wrong?" she continued raising an eyebrow,
"Oh, we do," Ran answered, she then nod then sent Conan a confused look,
"By the way Edogawa-kun, I heard that you were born from America, but you seem to be fluent in Japanese and Osaka-accent…" this made Conan startle
"Oh, that's because my mom's a-" he tried explain but is interrupted
"I know about you, your mom and dad, but speaking Osaka-ben…."
"My mom, dad and I visited Osaka before Tokyo and I kind of caught a little of their accent…." He laughed anxiously but immediately dropped it, "by the way did you came from Osaka by any chance?" he smirked to this as she nod in reply, making him grin wickedly then he started to explain what happened earlier to his Osakan friend and including the 'outrageous' part, Rena's eyebrow twitched to this as she listened to the story then,
"EHHH!" she snapped standing up catching attention of the others, "h-he noticed…" she sighed as she took her seat, then started to rub her temples,
"So, it was you!" Conan chirped he could see her eyebrow twitch and a vein popping out, his grin grew wider, as his plan earlier went successful, "Did you ran away from home, oneechan? If ya did den ya could get yer revenge tommora! Ya can stay at Ran-neechan's bedroom fer a while" he chirped which made her stare at him with a shock,
'How did he?' "How did you-"
"Simple, ye 'ave a bag next ta ya, an' ya didn' bring any umbrella, since dey said when people 're rich they put their umbrella by de slipper rack close ta de door, an' ya probably bought a new pair of shoes fer dis trip! An' ya probably escaped from yer bedroom's window or balcony!" Conan answered in a teasing tone, still smirking, and not dropping the Osaka-accent, she sighed then copied his smirk,
"It looks like ya also wan' a revenge from 'im, aye?" she asked him amused, Conan nodded, leaving Ran and Kogorou look at them dumbfounded,
"So… about the case…." Kogorou cut in anxiously, not sure if he should,
"Oh that, then I'll tell ya when we got ta the agency, cause, its freakin' cold!" she said, chuckling a little
"Sure…" Ran replied,
- (Osaka, Hattori's residence, Living Room 6:30 PM) -
Kazuha, Heiji, Heizo, and Shizuka were eating their dinner quietly,
"Wha's wrong with ye two yer look like ya had a fight…." Heizo started, glancing at the two youngsters before him,
"Somethin' like dat…" Heiji sighed angrily, 'Dat Kudo…was he actually listenin'?!'
'Heiji…. Sorry fer earlier' Kazuha looked at her friend who was still annoyed, "G-gomen… Heiji…." She finally said,
"Ah, no its not yer fault…." He grinned at her,
"So then why're yeah so down?"
"Oh, I just have a bad feelin' when we get to Tokyo tommora…." He sighed making his parents and friends raise an eyebrow, he even sweatdrop a little,
- (Mouri Detective Agency 7:10 PM) -
"What do you want for dinner, Conan-kun?" Ran asked peeking out of the kitchen
"Anything would do!" Conan chirped,
"He said anything, Ran" Kogorou said with a bored expression, then the sound of Ran's bedroom door opening, revealing Rena coming out of it wearing a blue silk long sleeve top, and a gray silk pants,
"Rena-san, how about you? What do you want for dinner?" Ran asked as she came out,
"Anything will do, umm….. Ran-neesan," she replied as she took her seat, the room stayed silent, they could smell chicken curry aroma filling the room making Kogorou and Conan's stomachs growl, Rena just stayed silent as ever, Conan was surprised to see her hair was actually a bit green when dried, she noticed him staring at him she just stared at him blankly with her mysteriously reddish-brown eyes, they seem far away, and lonely, Conan sort of pitied her they kept staring at each other, till when Ran chirped,
"It's ready!"
"Finally!" said Kogorou as he drooled as Ran served the bowls,
"ITADAKIMASU!" All said their thanks, Rena said it like a whisper, Conan said it like a mid-whisper, Ran said it normally, Kogorou the loudest of all, they eat their dinner in silence, after they finished they said their thanks again "GOTSOSAMADESUSHITA!" likely the same way, Ran hurriedly clean the table and wash the dishes as Rena helped, once they return to the living room,
"So, let's go to the details then…." Kogorou said seriously, 'Oi, is Occhan that serious?!' Conan thought Rena just nodded,
"It all, started three weeks ago, my sister and I just went out to buy some supplies for our school's project, when we got out we heard someone yelled, 'THIEF!' we stopped on our tracks but before we knew it they started firing their guns at us nearly hitting me with their van they knocked out my sister Roku, using a stun gun, then took her I tried chasing them but they got out of the way," Rena explained in one sentence Conan could have sworn he never saw her stop or pause to breath,
"Wait, Three weeks and you reported now?!" Kogorou complained, the girl just nodded then took a deep breath to Conan's relief,
"I investigated about them on my own, and hacked through files just to reach their info, they weren't just kidnappers, they were-" but Conan interrupted her,
"also robbers, thieves, murderers, bombers, hackers, I heard about them from America they had kidnapped over 60 children, their first case was bank robbing, they killed two employees who tried to stop them," the boy explained putting his index finger and thumb on his chin, as everyone looked and listened to him quietly, they react to every bad deeds, except for Rena who partly knew everything, merely nodded, "their second deed was bombing the department store killing over twenty thousand people, such as customers, employees, and the store manager himself, their third deeds were kidnapping, skilled and talented children, from five till fifteen years of age," he explained,
"And don't tell me you watched this in the television again?" Kogorou asked,
"No, he can't since they didn't release it in public that they were the suspects on the second and third deeds, to avoid panic," Rena explained,
"I heard this information from my dad, that's why he home schooled me since then, since I kinda…." Conan seemed to be flattered then started to scratch the back of his head, Rena then took out a folded old newspaper from America, then unfolded it, revealing Conan's picture, he was about four-five years old by then, but the picture wasn't taken focused in front of him, it was from the side, the headline said, 'A FOUR YEAR OLD EDOGAWA CONAN SOLVES A MURDER CASE!' poor Kogorou who didn't understand Ran didn't read the headline she was so focused on comparing the two boys, Rena sighed then translated the headline to Japanese,
"Yon-sai no Edogawa Conan, Satsujin jiken wo toketeshimata!" Ran and Kogorou's eyes widened, Conan blushed,
"EHH?!" the two shrieked but not loud enough for the neighborhood to hear, Rena nodded, the two kept looking back and forth from the newspaper to Conan, Rena clears her throat getting their attention,
"I didn't just come here for the case, but to protect Edogawa Conan-sama, basely requested by Edogawa Fumiyo-sama, whether you like it or not," Rena continued everyone was speechless, Conan grumble then pouted, but it disappeared
"Their targeting me now, aren't they?" He asked smirking, Rena nodded,
"Actually ever since the news popped out, you have been observed by them since then and they even followed you all the way here, their motive is still unknown on why they are kidnapping children like them," she explained, as Conan nodded,
"What were the skills, talents, or abilities of their victims," he asked as his smirk grew wider, Rena couldn't help to smirk back,
"Code deciphers, hackers, thieves, poisoning, doctoring, cooking, electronics, and deducting minds of detectives," she answered,
"I knew it! So meaning the ones who were kidnapped, know what their motive is!" he chirped,
"Conan-sama, I am to guard you not to get you caught!" she raised her voice looking at him, he smirked again which was getting on her nrves,
"for your opinion, how did I solve the case?" he asked
"you snea-…." She paled, "don't tell me you're planning to get yourself kidnap just to know their freaking motive!"
"Yeah," he answered,
"NO!" she yelled,
"PLEASE?!" he gave her his puppy eyes,
"NO!"
"PWETTY PWEASE?!" now he looked so cute and about to cry, Rena was weak against this, she face slapped,
"Okay, fine! I'll ask 'them' to think of a plan or something, if you die your fault, okay?" she was left with no choice,
"SURE!" Conan immediately lightened up, "but I hope you wouldn't mind hearing my plan…." With that Conan explained the plan till midnight till they memorized all of it, Ran and Kogorou just listened,
