Me and Martina (my friend) have noticed that BO members never get replaced. This story aims to change that. Chapter 1- A Challenge from the Trio Ran's POV (by my friend) Soka! I remember when I first met them! I was practicing at Beika Park when: "Mouri Ran-senpai, right? I am Kani Hiruno, member of the Teitan Middle School Gymnastics Team. I've heard many stories about you!" "Uh, hai. I'm Mouri Ran." "Your father is the meitantei Mouri Kogoro, right? My two friends are suiri otakus, and they would like to meet him! Can we, Ran-senpai?", begged Kani-san. "Sure!" I liked this kid. She seemed nice. A while later, Kani-san and I had changed clothes and were in front of the Detective Agency with two other girls. "Ran-senpai, this is Fukano Nara," She pointed to a short haired girl wearing glasses. "Konnichiwa.", she said. "And this is Kusakabe Narita." She indicated a long-haired bepspectacled girl. "Anata ni au ii.", she said.
"We've been detectives since we were young!" said Narita-san.
"Really? You remind me of Shinichi.."
"Kokose-tantei Kudo Shinichi? You know him? Oh gosh, he is my idol!" said Nara-san.
"But he has mysteriously disappeared..Is your husband contacting you?" said Narita-san with a smirk.
"Hu-hu-husband? We are childhood friends, but we're not married!" I felt my cheeks burning. "Who told you that?" "Suzuki Sonoko-senpai."
"Taku, I'm going to give her an earful...maybe about Kyoguku-san.." I muttered "May we see the detective legend, Mouri Kogoro-sama? We have a challenge for him!", said Nara. "Hai, hai!", said Narita. I smiled. "Come on in! Assuming he's not drunk, he should welcome admirers like you with open arms!", I said. I opened the door. Ugh, he WAS drunk.. "Kyaaa! I can't believe I'm seeing the great Nemuri no Kogoro!", exclaimed Narita. "Ran-chaaaaan, don't bring strangers heeerrreeee..", said otou-san. "Otou-san, these are not strangers! These are my friends, Kani Hiruno-san, Fukano Nara-san, and Kusakabe Narita-san." I answered. Otou-san got out of his drunken stupor and said, "Wow! I did not know Ran-chan had three beautiful and sexy friends! Dozo, dozo!" I heard Kani-san stifle a giggle. Ugh, this was so embarrasing.... "Mouri-tantei, we wish to be your apprentices!", said Narita as soon as she sat down. "Sorry, but otou-san already has an apprentice: Amuro-san.", I answered for him. "Awwwwww," whined Nara-san.
"Hehehehe, if only I could have more apprentices, I would surely take you in! But too much apprentices can be bad for the meitantei Mouri Kogoro.." There he goes, showing off again. "Can you just please hear this challenge out? I know this will be a piece of cake for you, Mouri-tantei.", said Narita-san. "Okayyy, start!!" "Tadaima! Ran-neechan, who are those?". asked a voice. Conan-kun had arrived, and he also brought the others! "Oh, welcome home, Conan-kun! These are my new friends, Kani Hiruno-san, Fukano Nara-san and Kusakabe Narita-san. They were going to present a challenge to otou-san.", I said. "Oh! You're that kid who's that thief's nemesis!" said Narita-san with a wink.
"And these are his friends: Yoshida Ayumi-chan, Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko-kun, Kojima Genta-kun and...hey, where's Ai-chan?"
"Ai-chan?" asked Nara-san. She suddenly seemed interested.
"Oh, she's that girl that's about my height! She has long, curly black hair and she always makes us laugh! She's out camping today, so she's not with us" said Conan-kun.
"Bu-"
"Heyyyy! The challleenngge!!" Oops, forgot about otou-san.
"Okay, here goes. You are at a party of chemist Ichikawa Asami-san. The guests are Katsuki Shima, Mimori Yuiki, and Kaname Yuu. They are all waiting in the living room of Asami-san's house. Then, Asami-san arrives. She is carrying a large bag, and says she will be back soon, that she will rest for a while.", begins Nara. "Then, after 2 hours, Asami-san has still not come down. She goes up and checks. To her horror, Asami-san's head was on the computer table!", continues Narita. I gasped. That must have been pretty scary. "Yuiki runs back down and starts calling the police, but then, there is a large explosion in the neighboring empty lot! It was set in fire! The three run outside and start dousing the fire." "When the firemen were called, the police arrived. Yuiki led them up to Asami-san's room. The head was gone, and there was a dying message: there was blood in the keys "1" and "5" of the computer!" "There was a knock, and a redhead came flying in. She was Sumika Belle, the Japanese-American actress who was a friend of Asami-san. She started crying and asking the police what had happened. They questioned everyone, but they all said they didn't see each other since they had taken different sides during the fire.The room's doors and windows were locked from the inside. The search only resulted in the large bag and some clothes. Is this a murder, or a suicide?", finished Nara. Everyone started thinking. Who did it?, I wondered. Well, how was it? Nara's name comes from my name, and "fukano" is impossible. Narita comes from Code Geass Episode 9(?)- Battle for Narita. Kusakabe comes from Mari Kusakabe, the woman who helped Mirai and Yuki in Tokyo Magnitude 8,0 Katsuki Shima is a character in Clannad: After Story Mimori comes from Misaki-chan, and Yuiki comes from MeitanteiSnow. PM/post on my wall/reply to this topic if you have a solution and/or questions (the key here is the dying message. I'm pretty much after that.) Next Chapter's Hint: Occupation! EDIT: Seems too vague... Okay, Next Chapter's Hint!: 15 or 51! Another Edit: I'll post the next chapter if at least 1 gets the dying message..
