Sleepover

Ran came into the house, thankful that Agasa was not home as she still kept a bruising grip on Haibara's arm "You two, you're not really kids are you!" she snapped at the girl then closed her eyes trying to hold her anger back as she opened them glaring down at the child.

Haibara tried to pull her arm away "I..I don't know what you're talking about" she whimpered as she started to fake a cry until Ran jerked her arm causing her to cry out.

"I heard you! You called him Kudo, that name came right out of your mouth!"

Haibara looked away really started to get unnerved and scared by the enraged teenager and not seeing anyway out of it "Please it's too complicated for you to understand"

Ran looked down at her "Oh please, nothing is too complicated from what I have seen, I have all night for you to tell me the truth, if not I'm sure the police would love to hear about this case"

""You're right Ran, I am Shinichi Kudo"

Ran dropped Haibara's arm as she turned around at the door looking at Conan. The boy had removed his glasses as was giving her a chillingly serious look as he held his bowtie in his hand.

""It is really me, Ran"

Ran stared at him, hearing Shinichi's voice come through some sort of speaker that was built into the bowtie as Conan spoke.

Ran sunk down to her knees as she heard the entire story out of the boy's mouth as he stopped and stood in front of her. Conan looked at her as she reached out and brushed his bangs out of his eyes.

"All this time Shinichi Kudo, you have known everything about how I felt about you and still you wouldn't say anything, not even over the phone?"

Conan took her hand "I couldn't say anything even if I wanted to. There is no guarantee I will get my normal body back, but at least you can go on without me holding you back now that you know the truth".

He felt his heart break having to tell her those word's face to face but glad that she was taking everything so well up to this point.

Ran smiled softly at Conan and pulled him into a hug. It's alright, Shinichi, I can wait until you are …legal. I'll only be 28 when you are so it isn't that big of a deal. I'll wait how ever long it takes. I love you".

Conan looked at her unable to believe that she said that as he looked hopeful.

Haibara's eyes went wide hearing Ran say that and she broke off a sob that started as she ran down to her basement lab upset.

Conan turned "Haibara wait!" He looked back at ran apologetically before he went down after her and caught her before she could close and lock the door on him.

"Haibara?"

She turned on him crying "No! That is what you want, I see it! I never have had anything turn out good in my whole life so why should this? I'm going to loose you in the end even if I have you all to myself now".

Haibara glared at him her anger starting to override her sorrow "You asked me how I knew everything the other night and I'll tell you. I was forced to learn how to do it by the man who is trying to kill me!"

She watched Conan's shocked then enraged face as she told him the truth and turned from him hating the look in his eyes

"I have already been in one affair between him and Vermouth, and it looks like this relationship of ours is going to turn out to be another one if you do go with Ran" Haibara gave a bitter laugh "This is all I'll ever be good for it seems, being a whore."

Haibara held her arm that was starting bruise from Ran's grip "So tell me, what you are going to do, great detective? I'm sure if I were to turn this into the police they would come after Ran for child abuse"

She gave a small smirk as turned back to him only to back up holding her arm in front of her to ward off anymore farther blows as he slapped her in a rage.

"Kudo!"
