Characters & Cases 2

Shinichi Kudou was silently waiting for Professor Agasa to pick him up at the Beika Train Station. Even though he felt like crap being so dependent on others, he couldn't do anything about it because of his current appearance.

His life after he shrunk into the body of a primary school kid named Conan Edogawa was miserable and hectic.

The sudden feeling of everything being bigger than he remembered them to be was one of the main reasons. He needed a chair to reach the sink! He could use his school uniform as a blanket! The worst of all, of course, was his D! It shrunk too! What would happen if he managed to return to his true form, but his D stayed the same as now? Wouldn't the phrase little Detective stuck with him then!?

Another reason was of course the fact that Shinichi had to lie to Ran all the time. Even if he was a block-head when it came to romance, he knew enough to notice that Ran was becoming more and more distant by the day. The thought he had to let her be with another guy chilled him to the core.

'The professor is taking too long,' Shinichi grumbled in his mind. He was almost sure Agasa was having trouble with his car again.

Shinichi lifted one of his knees up one after the other, and rotated his ankles slowly to relieve the pressure he had to endure on his two twig-like legs.

Looking around once more, and not seeing a sign of Agasa coming, he decided to just bite the bullet and walked slowly back to Ran's house.

Just as Shinichi started walking, a familiar gray Jaguar E-Type approached him. It honked twice, before a lady who drove the car came out. He panicked, and tried to run, but unfortunately, his tiny legs didn't even take him three steps ahead, when he was pulled by his chaser.

"Now what are you doing here alone, Shin-chan?" Yukiko Kudou lifted her shrunken son by his arms; her winning smile telling Shinichi that he was not going to like what would come after.

Shinichi gave a brief struggle, before stopping. He gave Yukiko an unimpressed look to make sure she understood his displeasure, but his mom just chuckled seeing his adorable little pout.

Yukiko took her son into the car, and just passed him a notebook. His gut clenched when he read the title:

Detective Conan

"What the hell is this!?..."

Almost like he was bewitched, Shinichi could not stop himself from reading, flipping page after page of the notebook in his hands.

The more he read the content, however, the more he wanted to puke!

"What the hell is this!?" Shinichi half-asked, half-demanded his mother for an explanation.

Yukiko's smile widened into a grin. She nudged him to continue reading. He glared at her, but still did as he was told.

Case 2 - The Idol's Peril

Yuko Ikezawa: An actress and a former Idol. She had a decent career, but was unable to secure the roles she wanted for the last couple years. Because of that, she behaved like she had a stick up her a- I mean, she behaved like she needed a stick up her a- never mind then. (She was pretty, but still way below me! Hmph! if Goro-kun hit on her, I'd never let him touch me again!)

Rukia Kazumoto: The current manager of Yuko Ikezawa. She had the prettiest face! A classic cold-beauty! Goro-kun would like her. Unfortunately, she was rather flat, so I don't think she was going to be a rival. (She looked like she could be a shinigami in another life!)

Velma C. Roger: She was a technical advisor for numerous companies, one in particular was the talent agency Yuko Ikezawa was signed at, Hexagon. She was a bit of a blabber mouth; but she could keep secrets when she wanted to. For example, the fact that she was hiding some bazoongas inside that orange jumper of hers. (I think mine were bigger, but we wouldn't know until we compare!)

Takeshi Katou: One of the department heads of the talent agency Hexagon. He was an ugly bastard who was so successful, women agreed to spread their legs for him. He married a beauty, too! (He is her second husband, and they started seeing each other when she was still with her old husband. What a pair!)

"..."

Shinichi could not say a single word right now. His highly developed brain was slowly turning into a tofu pudding by the stupidity that his mother wrote.

He stayed silent till they arrived at the front of Mouri's Detective Agency. They got out of the car, and walked up the stairs to the third floor. Halfway through, Yukiko hastened her steps, jogging to the door.

"Go~ro-ku~n!!" She sang, her voice closer to an animal's mating call.

Shinichi snapped from his stupor. He screamed, "What the hell, mom? What about dad!?"

Yukiko turned around, her hand still holding the handle of the door, "Ara, Shin-chan, haven't you read the first chapter?"

At that, Shinichi's face turned pale like a corpse. Without waiting for his answer, she twisted the handle at last, and continued, "Let's go meet your real dad!"

And Shinichi screamed!

"AAAAAAAAAA-

***

-AARRRRRGH!!"

"Tone it down! You damn brat!"

Kogoro's voice was like a bucket of ice cold water pouring over Shinichi's head.

"Ah? Uncle? Where are we?"

Kogoro looked at him like he was an idiot. "What do you mean? Of course we are still in the temple! Where else could we go inside this rain? Anyway, keep your voice down! You'll wake up all the monks if you keep screaming like that."

Indeed, Shinichi could hear the heavy rain pouring outside of the temple. He slowly calmed down, but the content of his dream still managed to bug him. He looked at Kogoro, and hesitated for a moment, before he decided not to ask the question.

Shinichi laid himself back on the futon, and tried to get more sleep.

Unknown to him, Kogoro was flicking through an album of photos in his phone. He stopped at one he liked a lot. It was Hinata, Rukia, and Yukiko, all wearing sundresses of different colors; behind them, Kogoro stood tall, his hands wrapped around his new lovers' waists, while he was kissing one of his oldest ones.

'What a day!'
