Into the World of DC Part 2 Chapter 7

[hopes 237]

There was a knock on the door. Conan groaned. "What now…?" Ran was sitting on a chair, still blushing. He went over and opened it.

Kaito and Aoko stood on the other side.

"Hey." Kaito greeted.

"What do you want?" Conan dead-panned.

"Ask Aoko."

"Um…" Aoko blushed. "I… was thinking… Maybe it would be better if Kaito and you shared a room together and Ran-chan and I did…"

"…That would be more reasonable." Ran came up from behind the shrunken detective. "Before it wasn't a problem, but now that I know he's Shinichi…"

"Alright! Then it's settled." Kaito declared.

"I have to share a room… With this guy?"

"Sorry, Shinichi…" Ran apologized as she stood next to Aoko. "Good night." Then they were gone.

"Yay! Sleepover!"

Conan felt a headache coming on.

))))))))))))))

The next morning, I woke up, yawning. I quickly checked my cell phone to see what time it was. The clock read 6:42.

I sighed in relief. "At least I won't be late to school…"

I got out of bed and went downstairs into the dining room. Everyone else was there already. Yuusaku was reading a newspaper while Yukiko was cooking food. Shinichi sat next to Ran and Kaito next to Aoko. They were all chattering.

"Oh, good morning Chelsea!" Kaito greeted.

"Good morning…" I mumbled as I sat down. "Do you all get up this early?"

"No…" Conan growled. "This idiot here woke me up at four."

I burst out laughing. "Wow, you must've had a great night of sleep… So I'm guessing you guys switched rooms?"

The four of them blushed. "Y-Yeah…"

I smirked. "Well, it worked out."

"Mm." Yuusaku looked up from his newspaper. "I hope everyone slept well… You're going to need it."

"Definitely." I yawned.

"Did you sleep okay?" Ran questioned.

"I guess… I think I had one of those times where you did sleep, but it doesn't really feel like you did…"

"Yeah…"

"Also, after school today, we're all going to talk to the police about what happened." Yuusaku informed us.

"What are we going to say to them? We can't exactly waltz up to them and say 'Hey! Edogawa Conan here is actually Kudou Shinichi and we're being blackmailed to be members of an Organization that killed the woman who was murdered! Oh, and Miyuki is actually from another world.'" I sarcastically said.

"Well, we need to find some way to tell the police…" Ran said.

"I think we're going to need the police to help bring down Them…" Conan thought aloud.

"They probably have a few people in the police though…"

"That can't be!" Aoko protested. "My otou-san is in the police…"

"As hard as it is to believe, Aoko, it's possible." Kaito sadly said.

Conan's look darkened. "Especially if it's Takagi-keiji, Satou-keiji, Megure-keibu, Shiratori-keibu, or others…"

"Here's breakfast~!" Yukiko chirped, breaking the mood.

"Thank you!" We all chimed as we began to eat.

"Mm! Delicious!" We complimented as we ate. Yukiko watched happily.

"I'm glad you all like it~!"

)))))))))))))))))

After we finished, Yuusaku said "Well, it's time for Ran-san, Shinichi and Chelsea to head to school now."

"Argh…" I groaned. We all began to stand up and get ready.

"I should call my otou-san…" Ran muttered. She took out her cell phone and began to dial.

Kaito turned to Aoko. "Speaking of otou-sans, what about yours?"

"Oh. Well, I had told him I was staying with my friend in Beika… Plus, he said we'd meet up at the Kid heist tonight."

"The last Kid heist." Kaito added.

"It's going to be your last one?" Aoko's eyes widened.

"Yep. This last gem, Pandora, is the one I've been searching for. The one that cost my otou-sans life… Remember?"

"Yes… I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault." Then Kaito hugged Aoko.

"It's been eight years since then, huh?" Yuusaku mused. "A long time."

"I've always missed Toichi-sensei…" Yukiko added.

"The day of his murder…" Kaito looked over at his newly known family. "Were you there?"

"Of course." Yuusaku confirmed. "I always went to his shows, no matter what. We were very close. Shinichi used to tag along as well."

"Shinichi did?" Ran looked at Conan.

"Ah, now that you mention it…" Conan mused. "Yeah. I used to go… It was good to practice figuring out tricks."

Kaito rolled his eyes. "You practiced even back then?"

"Of course, barou."

"Sorry to interrupt the conversation, but we gotta go." Everyone looked at me.

"Yes, that's right. We'll see you later. Have a good day." Yuusaku said good bye.

"We'll try to…" I muttered as we went out the door.

)))))))))))))))))

"Well, we'll meet up after school." I said to Ran and Conan as we dropped Conan off.

"Let's meet as Chelsea's school again." Ran nodded and we waved good bye.

)))))))))))))))))

Ran and I continued walking. It was another beautiful morning. Birds chirped and the sky was filled with a lovely glow. "So… How are you feeling about all of this?"

"I guess… Overwhelmed." Ran admitted. "I didn't think any of this would be possible… I mean, saying a person shrunk sounds ridiculous. I've always suspected… And had proof. And then, somehow… He would manage to prove me wrong."

I laughed. "Sorry, but… A couple times, he was actually going to tell you…"

Ran's eyes widened. "Really?"

"Yep. Like that time where you kept suspecting he was Shinichi during the Memories Egg case, and 'Shinichi' showed up after 'Conan' had taken his glasses off… He was about to tell you."

"So… That 'Shinichi' was…"

"Kaitou Kid."

Ran frowned. "Of course. But… Why did Kaito-kun help Shinichi then?"

"You had taken care of his dove. Remember?"

"Yes, I remember…"

"And the time you thought that Kid was actually Shinichi… Well, there was a few times, but the one where the airship was hijacked."

Ran blushed. "Oh… That."

I smirked. "The only way he managed to convince you was because he overheard Hakase, Ai and Conan talking about the 'alien' mistake."

"Eavesdropping… Why am I not surprised?"

"Yep." I smiled. Memories… They certainly were precious.

"And all those cases with the Detective Boys?"

"Well, Con- er, Shinichi was the mastermind with Ai helping. But, they're quite a smart bunch of kids."

"They sure are… I hope they'll turn out just as good as Shinichi."

"Hopefully." Probably only Mitsuhiko will…

"Well, we're here." Ran's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I realized we were at my school.

"Oh. Thanks for talking with me! Bye! See you after school!"

"Thank you! Be careful!"

"I will!" I waved to Ran and continued walking towards the entrance. There were bunches of students surrounding me like a wave as we entered.

I began to walk to my classroom behind a bunch of gossiping girls.

"Oh, isn't Takeshi-sama so handsome?" One squealed.

"He's so dreamy…"

"I think he's better than Kaitou Kid…!"

"I wish he was my boyfriend!"

"He's the cutest guy in our school~!"

Hm… The way they're acting… Who was it like? Argh, I can't remember! I glared at the girls. "There's nothing great about him!"

The girls turned around and glared back. Ew… They're wearing WAY too much make-up… One began to bark back. "How could you say that? You don't even know what you're talking about!"

"I sure as hell know what I'm talking about!"

The girls scoffed and flipped their hair. "You're just trying to be high and almighty because you sit next to him in class."

"No, I'm just being truthful. It's best not to get involved with him…"

"Yeah right. You just don't want us near him so you can have him for yourself, bitch." An athletic looking girl sneered.

I raised an eyebrow. "I know what you girls are…"

"Yeah, what?" Another one yelled.

"Jealous. I don't know why you would be though…"

Suddenly, the girl who swore at me charged, fists raised.

I tensed my legs, and then dodged like I had learned during my training. The girl's eyes widened in shock as she saw me move. Then I sent her flying into her friends with a kick to the stomach. They collapsed into a pile.

"YOU FREAKING BITCH!" She screamed.

"What?" I asked innocently. "I was just defending myself." I started walking past them, but paused to lean down. "Trust me. Stay away from him. See you later!"

And I continued my way into homeroom.

))))))))))))))))

When I walked in, I looked around for Takeshi. He was nowhere to be seen. Then I began to look for Aimi. She was nowhere to be found either. Huh.

"Hey, Miyuki-chan!" I turned to see Hitomi waving at her usual spot.

"Hey, Hitomi-chan. What's up?" I sat down in my desk.

"Nothing really..."

"Oh…" There was a pause. "Have you seen Takeshi or Aimi here today?"

"Calling Kai-kun by his first name?" Hitomi slyly smiled. "Are you two that close?"

"Have you seen them?"

"Nope." Hitomi shrugged. "And I haven't seen Kuroki-chan either. She's usually one of the first people here so…"

"Eh… Damn." I sighed.

"Why?" Hitomi curiously asked.

"Ah… Nothing." Then I changed the topic. "So are you going to the Kid heist tonight?"

Hitomi's eyes brightened. "Yes! I'm finally getting to see one!"

I smiled. "That's great Hitomi-chan!" It's going to be the last… I silently added. Plus, I'm not sure if it's going to be safe tonight… Well, I gotta hope for the best.

"Alright class." Kondo-sensei walked in. "Settle down. It's time to begin. But before that, Miyuki-chan?"

I looked up, hearing my alias called. "Yes?"

"Principal Tanaka would like to see you."

There were a lot of gasps and smirks.

"Chelsea…" Hitomi looked worried.

"Don't worry." I comforted. "It's probably nothing."

I stood up and began to walk out the door. The girl who I'd kicked was sitting in the front row and sneered. "Good luck, bitch."

I ignored her and walked to the principal's office.
