Ran's cell phone rang. An 'unknown caller', she thought. „Konnichiwa, Mouri Ran on the phone.“ „Hi, Ran, how is it going?“Ran knew that voice. „Shinichi?! Is that really you?“ „No, santa claus. Hohoho...off course it's me.“, he answered. „Haha,, Shinichi, very funny!“, Ran said with tears in her eyes, „Come back home!“ „I can't come right now, but I promise i'll come back home as soon as the case, I am working on, is closed!“, Shinichi answered, hearing the sadness in her voice. „And when will it be?“, Ran asked impatiently. „Could it be that you're missing me?“, he asked thoughtful. „No, how could I miss a mystery otaku like you?“, Ran lied. „Then tell me, why You are crying?“ „I am NOT crying!!!“, she yelled in the phone. „Whatever! Hey Ran, listen, I must go now. Bye.“ „Shinichi. Wait!“ But before she could say more he hang up. „Shinichi, come back home!“, she whispered, while some tears were running down her cheeks. Conan, who had just called her with his bow tie-changed voice, entered the detectiv agency. „Ohayo Ran-nee-chan.“, he greeted the girl. She quickly wiped the tears out of her face. „Ohayo Conan-kun.“ „What happened?“, Conan asked worried. „Nothing. Everything is alright.“ „Then tell me, why you were crying!“ 'Shinichi', Ran thought, 'he said same thing' „Don't worry. I just thought you, Ayumi-chan, Genta-kun and Mitsuhiko-kun were sleeping over at Agasa-hakase.“ „Oh we are. We are going to test some new video games he created and I were just here to get my backpack. Then I am going to leave.“, the boy said, running to 'his' room. He took his backpack and left, like he said. While the shrunken detectiv was walking over to Agasa-hakase he thought about Ran. 'I should tell her everything, but if they find me, Ran will be in great danger. That's what Haibara would say if i asked her for advice.', he though. „Conan-kun!“, he heard a voice. „Ohayo, Ayumi-chan!“, the shrunken detective greeted the little girl. „Do you think it'll be fun. I mean the games, Hakase-san created?“, she asked while they were walking. „Huh? Hai. Sure!“ Conan was totally ripped out of his thoughts. Then they arrived at Agasa-hakase. „Ohayo!“, Ayumi yelled so that everybody could hear her. „Finally! There you two are!“ „It wasn't my fault. Conan-kun walked so slow!“ Conan sat down on a chair in the kitchen and sighted. „Something bugs you, right?“ „It's nothing, Haibara.“ He sighted. „And you really want me to believe that? C'mon I'm NOT so stupid!“ „You're right. The truth is I made a disicion. I am going to tell her everything.“ „What?! You can't do this. It's too dangerous.“ Ai was shocked. „I can't take this anymore. Seing her crying all the time we talk on the phone. Seing her being sad because of me, because she misses me. And I...I stand right next to her...and she...she doesn't even know that I am the one she misses so much. I just can't take this anymore.“, he said desperate. „I understand, that it must be hard for you but what's more important to you. Protecting her life from the Black Organisation or telling her everything bringing her into the danger, as soon as they find out about you.“ „Do you think Ran can't keep a secret. I trust her and I will tell her.“ „Shinichi?!“, she almost yelled at him. „Shinichi?!“ the three kids stood in the door frame, wondering about 'that' name. „We were just talking about the guy from the next door!“, Ai said. „You mean Ran-neechan's husband. He's nice. I wanna see him again.“, Ayumi said exicited. And Conan just wanted to yell at her: „I am not her husband!!!“ but he kept cool and answered: „Yeah, I want to see him again as well!“ He glared at Ai. „Do you think , he'll be back soon?“, Mitsuhiko asked. „I don't think so.“, the girl with the curly hair said coldly. She got another glare from Conan's side. „Well, let's do that, you came for, right?“ Hakase changed the topic. „Yeah!“ Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko called out all togheter. „What about you? Don't you want?“ Ayumi asked Conan. „Nope!“, the boy refused. „Oh...Ai-chan?“ „No interests!“, she said uninterested as always in that situations. Then all the three kids took a controller and started playing. It was a game which is played on the Gamestation. „I think you have to press that buttom!“, Mitsuhiko said to Genta who tried to get it started. After a while he finally got it. „Let's start!“, Ayumi called. Then the begin the game. „Wow!“ „Look, this game is called 'The adventures of the Junior Detectives'!“, the kids said amazed. „I thought about anything like that!“, Conan said untouched. „The great detective always knows everything and never keeps secrets!“, Ai said, while scrowlling through Agatha Christie's 'The Murder at the Vicarage'. „Hahaha, can you please calm down!“ „As you wish, but ensure yourself, that you made the right disicion. And keep me out of it.“ „Stop it!“ „Hey Ai-chan, Conan-kun, look, that's us!“, Ayumi said astonished. „Who would have ever thought about something like them?“, Mitsuhiko agreed with Ayumi. „I did!“, Conan said bored and got a pillow from the sofa in his face. „Hey, my glasses. They are broken and my spare glasses are not here.“ „Gome, gome, Conan-kun!“, Genta apolized.. „It's alright, Genta-kun!“ „But Conan-kun, so you can't see anymore!“, Ayumi said worried. „It's OK, my eyes are not that bad. I don't really need them.“, Conan confessed. „oh, but they are suiting you. Without them you look so adult. „Can we please continue playing, Genta and I are the only ones, here playing that game and we are stucking here and cannot solve that code.“, Mitsuhiko said. „Alright, Mitsuhiko-kun!“, Ayumi said, turning towards the TV. Conan also turned toward them, when he heard that there was a code. „That code is so easy.“ „Er...you got it by just looking there for a few seconds?“, Genta was surprised. „Eyplain it!“, Mitsuhiko commanded. „Daijyôbu. Look, there stands 'keteke – hi – no''suyu – a zu written tsu with Dakuten - no – sekinikiname – taru – n – kashia – sutsu – sake – do. Got it?“ „Er...no, that's why you should explain.“, Genta said impatiently. „Isn't anything a little strange in this 'message'?“, Conan asked. „You mean that it's totally non-sense and that there are Dakuten on the 'no'. Everybody knows that the n-row cannot use the Dakuten. But what the hell has that to do with that code?“ Mitsuhiko didtn't understand. „You just need to move the syllables in the order of the hiragana-alphabet. One backwards, then one forwards and so on. The 'no' with Dakuten means: Move the 'no' one forwards to 'ha' and turn it with Dakuten to 'ba'. That's all. So it means: 'kokko wa bashyo de wa sukunakutomo sore o kitai shite koko de' and that means: The treasure is hidden, where you expect it the least.“ „That makes sense. Arigato, ne, Conan-kun!“ „But it was just nothing.“, Conan replied. The rest of the evening they spend on playing that game. 'Til late night. Without even one break. Also Conan liked the game. He lived for solving mysteries and while playing that game, he felt like the little kid, he looks like, but he knew he wasn't. And he didn't wanna hide that fact any longer. That's why he dicided to pull off the mask of Conan Edogawa and tell her about his true identity. He knew it'll be hard for Ran finding out that her 'little brother' she always cares about, is in really her childhood friend she missed so much, but it'll be hard for him as well. Everything would change. Hosted by Animexx e.V. (http://www.animexx.de)
