File 2: Mystery With the Transfers

The next day, Chiharu and the others come to school on time and stay seated until Sensei arrived. Kobayashi Sensei introduces another new transfer. Her name is Katsuki Shizuko. Her eyes are pitch black, and when you stare at them, they have the cold feeling tingle down your spine, the darkness staring into your soul. Her long, dark hair makes her pale skin paler, more elegant. Her smile creeps everyone here out. She is a foreigner, American to be precise. Everyone knows because that is what Chiharu calls out, with a sudden American accent, "Hey, dude! You are here, too?" She replies, "Yeah, I'm in the same classroom as you are. That's insane, isn't it?" "Yeah, man!" "Wait. Hold on a minute. You two know each other?" "Yeah, she always visits me in the Foster House. She is from a pretty wealthy family, but she got distant around her parents since they don't care about her any more." Chiharu says. "That is why she has become my best friend." Katsuki winks at Chiharu. "Yeah." Chiharu winks back.

Conan is confused. He turns around to Haibara and asks, "Do you think they have swollen the drug? Both of them?" Haibara shakes her head, "I don't know, but I know that we have more brain power to solve things."

After that conversation with Haibara, Conan got closer to Chiharu and Katsuki, since they found out that they all like Sherlock Homles and Mystery books. Everything went smoothly until the end of the day.

As they walk home, a group of high school bullies comes towards them, blocking their road. Conan and Haibara step out, protecting the others. "Can you please let us through, oni-san?" Conan says. "What makes you think that we are going to step aside, boy?" The leader says with a sly smile. The others laugh. Chiharu notices Conan's expression isn't impressed. So she decides that it is time to show all of them what both Katsuki and herself can do. She steps towards them slowly. Eyes wide open. She smiles innocently, pushing all the beauty and sweetness into the words, "Sir, we have asked you politely. I will say it once more. Can you please let us through?" "And what are you going to do, little foreign girl? Push us aside or what?" The leading punk proudly says. Then he stops talking. He stares into Chiharu's eye, silently. Chiharu smiles sweetly, this time with a deadly scent. She whispers, "Sleep." and the guy fall to the ground like he is dead. The others gasp. "Bro! Aniki! You okay?" They shout. Another high schooler steps out of the gang, "Who do you think you are? Doing something like this to our leader and act as if nothing happened!" Right after that sentence, he lifts a fist and aims full speed ahead towards Chiharu, just as Katsuki suddenly appears behind that punk and hits his head with her bag, and he drops to the ground, unconscious. Katsuki's sadist smile sweeps across her face as she glares at the other members of the gang. "You still want to try and block the road from us? We can make a deal. Drag your leader out of this street and promise us that you will never come here again." "H-hai!" The others slink away, like dogs sugging their tail between their legs. As Chiharu snaps her fingers, the leader wakes up and runs away like the rest of his group. Then Chiharu looks back at the others, particularly at Conan, and smiles, "I told you that they are dangerous." Kastuki walks on without saying a word.

"Oi, Haibara." Conan taps on Haibara's shoulder, "What do you think about the new transfers? I have a feeling they are much dangerous than we think." Haibara says nothing. She stares at the two girls, leading the kids. She feels a chill down her spine. That pressure of the Black Organization, why does she feel it here, near Kastuki in that instance? It all feels so weird to explain and find answers to the question. She walks on unsteadily behind Conan.

"Yo, Ran!" Sonoko steps forward in front of Ran's desk, "Still daydreaming about Shinichi?" "Huh? Sonoko!" Ran blushes pink for a moment, then calms down, "I was just wondering what will happen today." "After that field trip, Shinichi is much careful with the phone calls and mailing, right?" Sera comes forward to Ran's desk. "Yeah... I wonder what happened to him, making him secretive. It feels like as if he is in danger of something hideous, and is under the watch of someone else."

"All right, class, sit down!" Sensei walks into the class, following a foreign girl behind her, with red, shoulder-length hair styled into two ponytails, golden eyes gleaming like the Sun, smiling. As Sensei writes down her name on the blackboard: Miku Ryoko, she smiles wide and says in English, "I am Miku Ryoko, nice to meet you all!"

After school, Sera, Ran and Sonoko walk down the streets of Beika. They chatter about different things and laugh. Then Sera hears footsteps at the back. They are light, crisp, familiar footsteps. Miku runs up towards them. "Hi, guys!" Ran looks surprised, "Oh, hi, Ryoko-san. You live near Beika?" "Ah, no. I have a kid with glasses and a black hair loli kid to visit." "You mean Conan-kun?" "Conan-kun? Who's that?" "Ah, I see." Sera says, "You are meeting another friend with glasses." "Yeah, the people I am meeting are all foreigners. I will catch up to you next time!" She shouts as she rushes off. There are new students in Teitan Elementary School? Sera thinks to herself. I wish I get to meet them someday.
