Miss Smiles

Disclaimer: I don't own DC characters Chapter 1 - Unofficial announcement It was uneventful dinner after Shinichi came out from bedroom. He straightaway return to sleep, as if there was nothing to do in past time but feeling jet lag after sitting long hours in plane. His closed eyes had him lull as if darkness in room speak of ghosts, the memories he has locked back in his mind and brain; it is inviting. You look closer as flash of light is portal back to past. Over the dinner Shinichi looked apologetic at his mother; his sad smile were reserved, he blinked and his face expression changed, his eyes looked down at his plate of fried rice as he aware of stares he receiving from two sides. This moment he had not looked up as he knew the atmosphere in the air is different as he was in Tokyo, now was sitting with Mouri's family. Mouri Kogoro coughed with deliberate attention, by it Shinichi looked up to catch Ran in glance before setting eyes on his uncle. 'I can forgive you as I promise not to pursue the case you solve in past.' Uncle looked with solemn stem in his voice. 'Seriously?' Shinichi had had not a chance to pursue as Kogoro continued. 'But Ran has her opinion to forgive you or not when she believe you so easily as she's your girlfriend.' His voice turned tight. Shinichi did not flinched and give tiny nod. 'Dad! Leave it to us to settle! Please!' Ran had hand thrown on table as it crumbled in vibration. 'Sit down. Ran...' Eri reminded her with begging stare, as it often reserved for her when knowing Ran's capability of item incapacitation. And Ran sat back. 'I know whatever I said won't change anything as I'm guilty and charged. Of lying to her... Ran, I'm like a wolf. If you don't trust me in life I understand, you did so much to help me when I'm a child and forever grateful. I'll remember it as good deed.' Shinichi's voice turned surprising soft when he address her. 'What are you leading to? Shinichi, are you planning something that I should know?' Shinichi took a moment to take a spoon of fried rice before replying back, 'No, in past I've keep this feeling when I was alone with my friends.' 'You're right about it. If it isn't for me, I can't imagine what will happen to you. During first few nights I have nightmares thinking did something happen to my boyfriend, is he dead, or injured... Truth to be told, if I know you from start either, or, with suspicions, I rather thinking to solve you after taking you in.' Her words started to break. He took this opportunity to voice his thought. 'My words are nothing more, can't be compared with yours. It's the truth.' She stared at him like she watched with unreadable look. 'I'm guessing you want to leaving, oh gosh, do- do you really want to leave here?' Her face suddenly turned guiltstricken as if her words hurt herself. 'Yeah, I'm planning to go to America.' Those words had settled in into awkward moment of silence, Mouri family stared in shock. This final unofficial announcement had him remember his last dinner with them, eating his last favorite bowl of fried rice in Tokyo, only Kogoro clear his voice again, breaking ice. The taste has linger in his bud of tongue, it's memory were remaining in Tokyo and even in his sleep, from Tokyo to Washington.

Disclaimer: I don't own DC characters. Slices of last ending - Prologue 'Mr Shinichi Kudou!' The name was called and heard vividly over open space of home. A new home. Shinichi had moved from Japan joining his parents as he couldn't agree more with his parents after his departure from Japan. They all are turning Westernized. But it's not I'm blaming or something, I've been look forward to stay one day and know what it's like stay in America. Shinichi thought as he came in with door slammed closed behind him, his wane smile never leave his face. This is where I live, from today onwards? He looked around his new home and sighed, idled as his eyes lazily taking in description of his home. Welcome to America. This warm thoughts introducing him to think more of his parents and friends from Japan, Heiji, Ran, best friends who stay by his side but scenario has changed. He also changed. To their eyes he was the same person however Ran speak differently with coldness, her eyes never leave him the moment he knew, deep down she won't forgive with blank look, she has on her face, he couldn't blame her. This lead him feel guilty with admonishment of harshest lesson given. As he walked down to path he could see his bedroom, since it was right behind sofa and pathway, which is wide enough for his luggage to move through, the sound of footsteps were heard nearer, with repetitive thud. He knew who was coming down the stairs, confirming answer in his thoughts when the silence break, 'Do you really need my help, young man, you're old enough to heave it through.' His mother said with firmness edge in voice. 'I know, I know...' he answer. Inpatience is his flaw but it is to his advantage. 'Just give me a break a moment,' he said before he opened the door. Yukkiko looked with concern, her contemplating stare was last thing Shinichi want to see from her before closing It. 'I see you during dinner.' He was off contemplating in his bedroom with silence to regard it as greeting to two person in life. One is mother, and other is Ran.

I see. by the way anyone is interested in crossover? There's one is really interesting as it involve House, it's rare gem I found in fan fiction. House x Detective Conan This is climatic story, worth reading, not a spoiler, it's type of story you expecting to read. Casework

It's terrible. Anyway, glad all is well here. Now it's midnight, I'm off to sleep. as possible.

Feel good and had enough sleep this few months, I guess I must be tired and will taking vacation soon. I feel so good and focused, just like old times I don't feel too stressed, and everything turn clearer after drinking brands.

It grow with me when I was young. But when I found out they already go straight to plot in anime so I return watching and reading latest manga. I don't have to go to store buying or read from online.

.... okay I give small summary 're-enact'.

Can we drop the case off? Let's not.. come to that point destroying each other than pick up by Chek or mod *refer to Hajime and Aisuigetsu's case* Anywhere than DCW forum.

I have none so far, cos I keep making disappearance. XD The most loyal friend throughout from first is.... *ponders* and keep talking to me is.... Cure-chan.

The most embarrassing moments is being laugh at for singing alone when microphone is near to wall. I did that when I was ten years old. XD Long long ago, singing to the wall until nab by friends and that's embarrassing.

The movie stand out, I vote for KK 3 (movie)

The new one is so good~

They are major hit!!! But I didn't get a chance to watch first one and I'm getting chance to watch soon by buying DVD. How many here speculating Robin will have his own movie? In past I did watch Batman, in old version, and this one or sequel had me hype because of the clown as that movie is my favorite. Actually I want to watch Robin, I will pay ticket to watch one if it's same director creating and Robin is my favorite character. I find Anne Hathaway is way too cool playing badass to core- When I watch I feel like I'm part of Mafia as it was longest battle or war. This is war movie when human cosplay! Anyone likes the movie? Anyone hates the movie? Anyone wants more? I actually want more, I like the story and plot.

Doctor 10!!! I did watch 11th, but after watch few episodes I like 10th better Maybe he's my type of a kind I like. 11th act well, I like 10th as scripwriter write story so good, which fit Tenant's character in Doctor Who.

If there are comments about other people involve in the crush as CC mention, I don't want to know.

Do any one felt interest to have artwork pop out like it take another level? It's not impossible! In the past I bounce across to see incredible drawings like they are drawn from engineer, but they're not engineer- only artist, they have drawn endlessly as artists were shown respect for drawings they made for animations and credibility. Don't envy any more! If you're beginner and started on shading, always know the basics first before go for advanced, you're on right step taking forward to next level. I've come across to see incredible drawings in art forum online and many has surpassed my skills, as my major is painting in landscape. Since my diploma years I've studied commerical art drawing skills, surprisingly they are good courses to get started with colours and, shading. But there is a trick: pencils and artist's markers are important to bring out vividness of drawing, after they create artworks they also create contrast well. A lot of artists prefer B and lower to create distant look of object which placing furthest away from eye's point of view. The one closest to you the outline is dark emphasizing closeness and solid object you see right in front. And the artwork has dynamic shading as it was placed with artist's observation to have objects 'stretched'. Normally when objects drawn and shades required in artwork are different matter; it consist of contrast and brightness. When objects are bright, the sun show a lot of shadings. When objects are vivid, the image show detail of thin and bold lines. Many artists use this as advantage to enhance form into 4D effect to challenge and jump into new dimension as drawings and paintings pop out like they make of real item. And which is true! How this apply to drawings? The black dotted line make of size and matter once you create your drawings. Artists use it to create space and bigger forms of outlines. If you see professional drawing which look difficult, artist use a lot of lines' size or vague consistent lines to create effect. Imagine you use the spray to create volume of words onto wall, and word turn bolder. If notice a form has few small series of big black form, they create volume with capacity for realistic effect. If 2B pencil use with 6D pencil, 6B is good for shading and 2B pencil's true colour of contrast between black and white. If 2B colour vividly fill in circle form inside the square, it's in 2D form. If square is filled with shade, it's '4D' form. How many shades you can fill in four sides? If the sun is high up shining at block of square the form has mass and the square below never be shown because it's invisible for realistic effect. If the box tilt, the square bottom will be shown as form, not as a shadow. Lines does matters.

It's really good! I think you can replace pencil for marker when doing step 3. Real artist's maker, it look professional. You get commerical art on step 5 with colours. Try it!
