the girls who was kidnapped two times?¿

---------Rich man's Residence-------

so according to all you've told me so far. the one who was kidnapped is the only daughter of the house, Tani Akiko, age 10 correct?... Mouri Kagorou asked the host of the residence

yes, answerd the host and showed a picture of a little girl's around 10 hugging a huge dog.

this is is her picture, and she was kidnapped by a man dressed entirely in black... my butler witnessed the act... isn't that right Asou-kun. the master of the house asked loudly

y-yes sir.... the butler replied weakly

is there no one else who saw the kidnapper? the detective asked again.

no, by the time everyone came running after hearing the scream he was already gone... the butler replied and looked worried for her young miss

mmm, hmm... Kagorou said

I see... Irene followed

can you describe the kidnapping in detail? she asked the butler looking at the kidnapped girls photo that she snatched earlier

ehh? who is this child? the master of the house asked the detective infront of him, puzzled

she is just a friend's daughter... Mouri said in reply quickly and grabbed the scruff of her blue suit and faced it to her daughter.

Ran! can you please look after this child? he asked his daughter in an annoyed tone as he dropped the little girl who landed butt first.

oww... she exclaimed rubbing her butt.

now... Asou-san, can you describe the kidnapping specifically? the detective asked the butler

Irene and Kagorou listend to the story attentively as they find it too simple and daring

can you describe the kidnappers face? Irene asked the butler and resulted her to get a big smacked at the head by Kagorou

oww!... Irene said rubbing her sore head. this is the second Oldman!! the mentality cursed the man.

what was that for otou-san? Ran asked her father rubbing Irene's head.

pain, pain Ho away! Ran said at Irene's huge bump.

oy, oy! Irene thought to herself

anyway, did anyone else hear the criminal's voice and heard anything strange? Mouri asked the butler and the maids

we got there about 10 seconds after the scream, but it was only Asou-san there shouting "the young miss is kidnapped"

but other than that it was quiet... the oldest maid answerd

shit! so only the butler saw the kidnapper... Mouri exclaimed looking at the butler who was bowing drasticly in front of his angry master.

Mouri calmed his composure and walked towards the host,"master of the house"

based on the kidnappers demand, he can be from a rival company of yours. the detective pointed the fact

any rival company that you think of can do this...? he asked.

the master of the house was full of range forcing to calm down and think of anything that can help but only said these "shit... first my daughter and company! now money!!" the host exclaimed as he cannot think anything else but his daughter. not hiding one bit of this anger

m-mo-money!!?? the butler mutters, shocked!

but the kidnapped said he wanted the closure of the company for a month not money!! the butler said shocked of what his master said.

I just got a call from him and he demanded 3 million yen in old notes!! the master of the house said in range

surely you jest!! there must be a mistake!!! the butler defensed

shut up!! you be quiet! the host screamed at the butler

"......"

Irene was silently listening to there

conversations and find it strange.

it's strange, too strange.... Irene thought walking near a ball and did a few moves with it as she gathered her thoughts with the clues she gathered

wow, Irene-chan!! you're good at kicking that ball!! Shinichi also kicks a ball like that when he's thinking. Ran said remembering her childhood friend

I am "that" Shinichi.... Irene told herself looking at Ran.

are you good at soccer too Irene-chan? Ran asked merrily at the little girl as she watched her moves.

I dunno, I was only tought by shinichi-nichan a few tricks and that. but I never played really. explained Irene with a bright smile.

it was true enough thou... "Irene" did "never" played soccer and she was "Shinichi" in the first place. that is why it's like "Shinichi" tought "Irene" how to play, by transfering knowledge.

Irene continued to be occupied by her thoughts when she accidentally kicked the ball at a bush near the tree. when she was about to get it, a huge dog barked and jumped at her to cause everyone to be alarmed as Ran run towards Irene

irene-chan don't mo- Ran was cut off by the little girl's laughter as the huge dog locked her before she spun the ball like a globetrotter. the older woman was dumbfounded

you're a lucky young lady, the master of the house said at Irene.

his name is Jumbo and Jumbo doesn't usually takes a liking to strangers quickly as he's only friendly to people within the household. he added

Irene's eyes narrowed as to what the host said. as Irene was still close to the dog, Ran tried to move closer and knelt down to her only to be stopped when the dog growled at her and nuzzled Irene closer to his side protectively

what an amazing guard dog! Mouri complimented.

it's alright Jumbo. Irene smiled at the dog as she patted it's head cousin the dog to stop growling but watched attentively as Ran checked Irene for injuries, who was still lost in thought.

after Ran finished, Jumbo nuzzled the little girl closely again and looked at Ran quietly but dangerously.

as for Irene who had a sudden brainwave smirked for a second before hiding it. but Rather caught it.

but he's too nice thou, be barked at Ran-san but not at other people like you. Irene asked curiously with his head tilted innocently, looking unintentionally cute again.

Ran wants to pinch those cheeks and squeeze her but didn't do it because of the dog whose still staring daggers at her.

what Irene said caused detective Mouri to realize a very important clue about the case and stopped the sneaking butler from getting away.

if the dog was silent when the girl was kidnapped... that can only mean that the kidnapper is from the household.

to be the only one to see the kidnapper and to be the only one to know it's demand... to be able fool everyone that the young miss was kidnapped by a kidnapper who's dressed in all black. isn't that right Asou-san? no, wrong, Mr. kidnapper?? Mouri confronted the butler with a victorious smirk

it was you!! you kidnapped my daughter!! how dare you!!! the master of the house said angrily at his butler

I find it strange that the kidnapper claimed the tree, so fast that after 10 seconds he escaped with a girl at hand.. I find it impossible, and this caused to be not seen by the maids. also, a household with such great guard dog like Jumbo it didn't bark like a madman when it's master was kidnapped and even was climbed the tree it's was tied in and resulted him to escape, I find it suspicious. the detective exclaimed. there was no man in black in the first place, now is there?? Mouri asked in such an authority awra.

give up and tell us were the girl is... the detective said holding the butlers shirt.

please forgive me sir!! the butler begged his master.

young miss is at a nearby hotel... please understand that I have reasons in doing it. he added kneeling down at his masters feets.

you dirty old bastard!! the master of the house said in disdain as he gritted his teeth.

did someone asked you to do this?! if true, who!?? the man yelled with anger at the old butler

that sir is... er..... the butler couldn't answer his master's question

whatever! let's go to that hotel and get my daughter back, now!! the master said in a hurry. telling him his daughter was kidnapped scared him to death, and right now seeing his daughter was his priority

woo-hoo!!! case closed!! let's go get the young miss!! Mouri exclaimed excitedly

yes, take us to this hotel. the master said holding the old butler's arm so that he cannot escape

NO!! this case isn't closes yet Mr. detective!! Irene said calmly with a straight serious face as she looked at the older man who's expression also turned serious as he looked at the little girl.

just who is this little girl. she isn't simple. Kagorou thought as he too was feeling that there is something missing to this case, but forgot it when he got excited and only to be reminded by a little girl.

s-sir, the phone!! the oldest maid said with her dark expression

what now?? who could it be this time?? the master said in annoyance.

w-well... the maid could not continue her sentence as she gave the phone to her master.

have you prepared the money yet? a person with cold voice said on the other line..

w-who is this?? who are you? the master said shocked as he yelled..

all of the people was shocked except the oldest maid as the host yelled at the phone. for it can only mean one thing. the young miss is still kidnapped

Mouri looked at Irene at this moment.

how did she know?? he thought

I just called a little while ago, remember? hahahahahahaha... you forgot me already? well let me remind you again then. I'm the person who kidnapped you're daughter... do you not care for her anymore? the man in the other line said in his cold voice.

impossible... we know who... the host said looking at his old butler

so you have an accomplices? Mouri said at the butler, who was to shocked.

n-no, I really was the only one who kidnapped the young miss!! I have no partner!! you must believe me!! the old man defended bluntly

papa!!! save me!!! a little girl's voice was heard on the line.

A-Akiko... the master said weakly almost losing his strength

hehehehe... my patience is running short now... if you don't get the money, this brat is good as dead. the man on the other line said.

I'll get you're money, just don't hurt A-akiko... the host said shaking and his sweat rolled down

pa...papa, I'm in a school warehouse!! I'm at some school where I can see a big chimney out the window...

KYAAA!!!!! she screamed..

Akiko!!! the father shouted...

shit! I'll call you again! get the money ready!! or else... the voice on the other line said...

Akiko, Akiko!! the father yelled his daughter's name at the phone

after the call ended the master confronted the butler asking who was his partner.

the girl was kidnapped twice! Irene said with a straight face at the adults

en, she is.... Kagorou agreed.

she probably was kidnapped at the hotel she was staying in. the detective added

first was the butler and second is with this man... and this person is more Evil... Irene added to what the detective said as she hurriedly took a map as Kagorou walked closer at the little girl. both looking at the map.

what is it otou-san? Irene-chan? Ran asked the two person exchangeing words as they looked at the map.

the kidnapper can't have gone far with a little girl with him. that's why he is probably near and is at a school with a view of a chimney somewhere... Kagorou answered his daughter's question.

and with the kidnapper in panic now that we know we're he might be, if we don't hurry that girl is going to be... Irene added with a serious face.

we narrowed it with fave schools to search. if we don't search now we might not be able to see the girl alive anymore! Irene said hurryly as she rode Jumbo who was at that time was still keeping himself close to the little girl, started to run outside. with Irene riding a dog they were much faster.

hurry follow that dog!! Kagorou said pointing at Irene and Jumbo and run to follow.

Ran! don't lose her!! Mouri shouted at her daughter from afar as she too started running and followed Irene.

no!.. no!.. no!... not here either!!

dammit! none of them were right... where is it!? Irene said panting as well as the dog.

there agent any school left that has chimney at view... Irene said to herself

"..!?.." see stooges as she saw a tall building

wait... could it be...? Irene said inside as she rode the dog again and and got to a angle of the building were she can see a silluette of a chimney

"...!!!..." that's it she saw the building from this angle and thought of it as a chimney!! she said out loud.

and the only school in this area with views the building from this angle is... FUTATSUBASHI MIDDLE SCHOOL!! she said as she rode Jimbo again and run there.

now that the business discussions is complete... I'm done with you... sorry but you're gonna need to die... the kidnapped said as he showed a dagger after the call ended.

.you've seen my face... i can't possibly spare you... the man said coldly at the little girl who's hands are tied and her mouth taped.

wait!! someone shouted as it echoed through the room as it came from the door.

"!?!?" who... who's there!? where are you?!! the man said holding his Dagger at hand. ready to attack

right here...

a little girls voice said as a high dog attached the man before he could reach

its okay now... Irene said at the older girl as she took of the tape at her mouth

who... are you? the young miss asked the girl infront of her

Kudou Shinichi.... err.... no, i mean...

Irene said suddenly

Edogawa Irene!! im a Detective!! lrene said sailing at the girl as she barely pulled that off.

detective...? the girl asked before they were cut off when Jimbo was hit by a bat and run outside. after that the man Loomed over at the girls

dont mess with me brat!! the man said holding a baseball bat before swinging it around to hit Irene.

after a few dodges, Irene attemted to kick him but was sent flying over and hit the wall. a soccer ball stumbled near her, so she kicked it towards the man but was stopped instantly. At the time she was cursing to herself for her weak and rather small new body

dammit!!! with this body my kick power is lost and i Can't get close to him. if this continues it'll be bad. she thought

hehehehe.. i dont know where you came from kid... but i'll kill you with her... the kidnapper said, giving a cold look as he was to hit her again.

no good!! shit, even though i tracked him down... i cant capture him!! she cursed before she was hit at the stomack

son of a Bitch!! that's it!! i will ask Ran for karate lessons for percoution if i make it out alive. she noted to herself

hehehe... the man laughed

your dead kid. too bad, you'll be a pretty lady when you grow up he added as he walked near Irene

Irene-chan!! the young miss said with red eyes.

play times over... i'll make sure that your head and that pretty face of yours will burst right open!! the kidnapped said holding the bad in the air ready to hit Irene hard.

STOP!!! the young miss screamed as the kidnapper was about to hit irene

i'm a dead man!! Irene mentally screamed as she waited the bat to hit her only to feel nothing and heard a loud sound. as irene opened her eyes she saw Ran blocked the bat with her arms.

Ran-san!!? she said weekly but can hear the shock on it.

Aghhh... Ran Orestes herself before rapid punches and kicks hit the kidnapper and knocked him down with a finishing back kick, and dell unconcouse

wheww.. she said as she finished

amazing!!... Irene said dumbfounded

Irene-chan!!! are you okay? Ran asked at the panting girl who was sitting weakly on the ground.

don't move so much, otou-san is coming shortly. Ran said

how did you find us? Irene asked regaining some of her strength but still panting

we found Jumbo covered in blood and and he showed us the way, he was holding Akiko's shoe so we followed him... I'm glad I made it in time... Ran said with relief as she looked at the girl

Ran!! is the girl okay?? Mouri asked as he suddenly opened the door.

yes and I made it in time. Ran replied

Akiko!! the master said as he rushed inside and hugged his daughter

papa... papa!! the girl hugged back, crying

there, there it's all right now... the father said comforting the girl.

young miss... I'm so happy you're safe... the butler said as he followed his master inside

hah! what was that Asou-san? we've caught your partner!! give it up already!! the detective said while he tied the kidnapper's body to upper hand it.

partner?? the kidnapper said weakly as he gainded concouseness

I grabbed the brat when I saw her in the hotel... I don't have no partner... the kidnapping added.

what?!! then you kidnapped the girl again from the hotel we're she being hold captive?!! Mouri asked in shock.

what a insane man, he thought

captive?? don't make me laugh!! she was sitti'n around eati'n food at the hotel restaurant!! the kidnapper snapped.

that means she wasn't held captive in the first place... that means...

the detective said as he realized the real motive of the first kidnapping and face palmed himself

my goodness, I was played by a little girl... Mouri added in an defited tone.

that's right she was not kidnapped at the first case... it was really this girl who...

Irene tought to herself

now that my daughter is safe let me deal with you... the master said facing the butler

no!! papa you cant!! the young miss said as she blocked her father.

what!! why? the father asked confused

Asou-kun did nothing wrong, it was me!! I planed the first kiddnaping... the young miss said shocking every one besides Mouri who's palm is still in the face and Irene who's just standing there looking as things unfold.

y-you planed the first kiddnaping?! b-but why? the master said as he looked at his daughter

your always busy at work, you have no time for me anymore... I - I thought that if I pretend my kidnapping ang let you close for a month, then you can spent your month with me... the girl replied

no! it was me, I planed it all... the butler defended

you still dare to speak... the master said in menice

Eppp... the butler said.

the master sighed.

Asou-san even if it's my daughters orders you not need to listen if it's this kinda of things. as a punishment prepare us an appointment for a month in Africa.

the master ordered.

papa!! the young miss said as she hugged her father.

after all that detective Mouri and party prepared to leave when they were spotted by the young miss.

thank you very much, miss detective miss fighter. she said at the females in the party.

miss detective?? Ran asked glancing Irene.

miss fighter!! Irene said astonished and giggled.

why didn't I get a thanks... Mouri asked sadly.

and they got in a cab and went home...

-------at the cab--------

otou-san? can we take care of Irene?? Ran asked as they ride the cab.

"...." Mouri looked at Irene when her daughter asked. thinking about it for a moment holding his chin

this little girl is not simple. Mouri thought to himself, oblivious that Irene is the great detective "Kudou Shinichi" she's still a brat... but she's like a charm!! he brightens. leaving all his other thoughts of having another female around

Hahahahaha!! sure she can! I got a rich client as soon as she came. hahahaha she's like a charm said laughing.

damn right you can stay!! welcome to the family brat!! he added as patted Irene's back before laughing again while Irene whined like a small cat as she rubbed her back.

that hurts you idiot!! she thought as Ran took a notice of it

irene-chan are you oka- ahh... Irene-chan you got bruises all over! Ran said eyes wide as she mentality cursed herself for not noticing the girl was hurt sooner!!

don't worry Irene-chan, when we got home I'll bandage them up and apply homemade bruise cream on it. Ran said to Irene gently. Mr. driver please hurry up and get us home. she added to the driver.

as soon as they got home Ran was fussing about her materially and beautiful cuteness as she applied the cream. in the morning Irene woke up mentally cursing in the air.

dammit I have to go trough elementary all over again!!! damn those men in black.
