[gingerwitchhh]

I'm back at work so I don't have that much time to draw but here are two small sketches hehehe

Also!!! Thanks for all the love on my previous posts, it really means the most and I'm more motivated than ever to keep drawing Detective Conan stuff :DDD THANKS A LOT❤️

[risingmoonyue]

Okay okay okay but.

For once, I want the Shinichi disguise to fail horribly on Kaito, for one reason and one reason only: Ran, now suspicious of how every time Shinichi shows up to a heist he’s revealed as Kaito KID, decides the best way to test if he’s actually Shinichi is to make him sing. (“You’re Shinichi, huh? Then sing.” “U-uh, what?” “You heard me. Sing.”)

Now Kaito; he’s like, uh sure? Not the greatest thing to happen to him, potentially disastrous really, but I mean since he’s got Famous Actress Fujimine Yukiko™ as his mother, surely he’s as least decent, right? (Right???) Conan has that perfect pitch going for him too, so surely he can carry a tune, right???????

No. No, he cannot Kaito.

And thus, Kudo Shinichi is busted as Actually Being Just Kaito KID Again because Shinichi can’t sing for the life of him.

(Shinichi, who has long since accepted this about himself, is just laughing at KID finally getting his just desserts)

[whenishipiluxurycruiseit]

Random kind of funny thought

Kaito and conan cousins au

(In this au conan is a separate person, the b.o did not happen thus he is kudo conan, and the kuroba and kudo family does family reunions from time to time, shinichi is a fujimine (kudo yukikos maiden surname, thus he is from yukikos side of conans cousin) so fujimine shinichi, same story about being left alone by his parents since like a kid so he spends most of his time with the kudos.

Ages

Kaito and Shinichi - 17

Conan - 7

How kaito and shinichi met, when they were 10 and conan has just been born, shinichi was the designated babysitter of conan, he is conans fav cousin bc of that, and bc of conans birth, the kurobas visited the kudo manor with their 10 yr old son to let him see his newly born baby cousin but instead found the love of his life)

Kaito: conan

Conan: no

Kaito: what? I didnt even say anything!

Conan: no! I know u want me to be a wingman for u and shinichi niichan but no! Shinichi niichan is basically your cousin in law!

Kaito: why?! Dont you want the family to be even closer than ever? Also, in law! In laws can marry each other!

Conan: no! *Runs away*

Kaito: conaaaaan!!! *runs after him*

Shinichi: wow they get along so well :)

Yukiko and chikage: oh shin-chan if only you knew *sips tea*

Yuusaku: haha older brother ur son is a wimp, whys he using my son as a wingman when he can use other ways, did he forget shinichi is a detective trained by me?

Toichi: haha I dont know that kid, my son is a suave magician trained by me, i dont know where went wrong. (My son is a hopeless romantic.. well i havent taught him to woo someone yet so.. haa.. magic lessons will be halted for a while)

[ohrival1412]

Fujimine Yukiko x Kudou Yuusaku headcanons? They are a cute couple, always fun learning more about them and their relationship.

probably what make me like them was that one short special (from de short gosho's stories or something like that) when, by giving to Yuusaku a code, he figured out where was the date with Yukiko, and it seemed like that was a normal thing for them! (have to say that KaiShin would do something similar lmao)

They give me the vibes of a couple foolishly in love who will have romantic acts in the most random moments.

Yuusaku approaches Yukiko with a bottle of wine in hand, placing a kitchen towel on his arm like a waiter at a fancy restaurant (however the towel is stained and it's night so he simply wears his pajamas after taking a bath). Yukiko chuckles when she sees him, she is still wearing her apron and is even a little disheveled. Yuusaku bows and is about to uncork the wine, Yukiko tilts her glass towards him and Yuusaku fails miserably to pop the cork, having trouble with the opener in the middle of their romantic bubble.

Little Shinichi sees them in the distance rolling his eyes "Ridiculous..."

Whatever, they take advantage of the fact that there was already some music playing in the background and start dancing in the living room.

Also, considering how Yuusaku pretended to be Night Baron just to scare Shinichi (he looked really into the role), from time to time, encouraged by Yukiko they dramatize some lines between them, maybe from movies in which Yukiko or perhaps from Yuusaku's own novels.

Got to draw some of these beauties for the @dcmkfanzine valentines event too 💗

[forffax]

i know nothing abt detective conan apart from what was established in the two lupin crossover specials. enlighten me

OH BOY u activated Ultimate Hyperfixation mode thank u... it's So Much. iirc the specials established the basics; high school detective Shinichi Kudo, somewhat well known as the "modern era sherlock holmes" was on a date outing with his childhood best friend, Ran Mouri, to the local amusement park. While there (and after solving a murder), he noticed two shady dudes dressed in all black, followed them, saw one of them doin crimes, then got brained by the other one w/a metal pipe sdjfgsk. the men in black gave him an experimental drug (APTX 4869, which is also a sherlock holmes pun (shi ha ro kyu)) said to kill without a trace. but! little did anyone know, it has a rare side effect of Turning You Into A Child instead of dying and that's what happened to shinichi sdkjfgsdf. (this might not actually be a side effect. the prototype drug might be an attempt to make a drug that makes u immortal. maybe.) He decided to ask if he could live with Ran and her dad, Kogoro Mouri(a disgraced ex-cop private detective) bc he thought that if he was in a detective agency, he could more easily find the ppl who did this to him! he named himself Conan Edogawa in a panic after being backed into a bookshelf (Arthur Conan Doyle and Edogawa Ranpo books, naturally). For a while, Conan ends up following Kogoro to any cases he's on (and the Random Murders they run into almost daily), knocking Kogoro out with an anesthesia-laced needle hidden in his watch and using a voice changer to solve the cases as Kogoro (this turns Kogoro into a minor celebrity: the Sleeping Kogoro, named bc he looks like he's sleeping when he's solving cases (he is sleeping actually. sdkjfgsd)) It starts slowly coming to light that the men who attacked Shinichi are a part of some larger Evil Organization with hands in corruption, illegal weapons trade, assassinations, u name it. Also they're all named after different kinds of alcohols (hard liquor for the men, diff kinds of wines for the women iirc) (the two who attacked shinichi are called Gin and Vodka)! One day a girl shows up at his neighbor's (Professor Hiroshi Agasa, the first person who knows that Shinichi is Conan) house, and eventually introduces herself as Sherry, the creator of the drug that shrunk him. she betrayed the org after they killed her sister (which conan was present for), and took the drug herself and escaped from where they were holding her when she too turned into a child. Now she's goin by Ai Haibara and is working to try and reverse-engineer an antidote for the two of them! There's also a group of Actual Kids who latched onto Conan and Haibara bc "Wow these two are smart and cool!" :] they formed the Detective Boys and they love going out and solving cases (and unfortunately see their fair share of murders :( ) As far as like the Main Cast (so many ppl) I'd narrow it down 2 probably Shinichi/Conan, Ran, n Kogoro! but also when u look up "detective conan main characters" the wiki page has a promotional image with like 43 ppl on it so. i'd also include heiji hattori (another high school detective, and the first one to figure conan out. they're besties now), professor agasa, and the detective boys :] the series has a general "monster of the week" format with a LOT of non-directly-plot relevant cases b4 kinda just. slamming so much plot that has been slowly setting up onto u in a Big Confrontation sdfhskjdg its like the kind where when u get there u go OHHH THAT WAS FORESHADOWING AUUUGH but then nothing big happens for another 100 chapters so sjdkgfjksdhskbs ALSO IT'S LONG AS FUCK I SHOULD MENTION THAT ongoing since 1994 babeyyyy getting close to 1100 chapters. pain BUT i do kinda love that for it. it's so long and theres SO many characters but that means nearly every reoccuring character is gonna get SOME kind of arc and growth as a person which is cool! like yeah there's A Lot but i feel like it does a p good job of juggling that big cast of ppl :] a lot of wild shit goes on like. there's sooo much backstory for some of the characters n so many connections between them it makes my brain

happy drawing lines between characters and bein like okay so you're connected to this person bc of THIS person and so on and so forth. also i think within the first 1/4 it's kinda just "hm smthn shady going on" and then suddenly the fbi is just. there. i think it's outright stated that they don't have permission from the japanese government to be there either. ALSO there's so many british ppl for some reason??? i mean i know why (sher lock holms) but it's still really funny to see some of these characters n b like. if u were speaking english u would have a thick british accent. oh should probably mention magic kaito too. so magic kaito was an earlier series by the same author focusing on kaito kuroba, a high schooler magician who ends up becoming a phantom thief (the kaitou KID) while evading a mysterious shady organization, trying to find out who killed his father (the og KID), and also trying to find a gemstone that supposedly makes u immortal? magic kaito got HEAVILY sidelined when detco started (and got way more popular) but the author made kaito a reoccuring character within detco, making them set in the same universe. now it feels like rather than writing for magic kaito, the author just writes a KID heist in detco skdjfgskjd (<- crying in "magic kaito hasn't updated in 3 years") this is like. mostly fine. except real magic explicitly exists in magic kaito (one of his classmates is a witch) which does kinda clash with the Mostly Grounded In Reality murder mysteries of detco sdjkfgsd

OH YEAH also the dub/localization was called Case Closed and they tried to Americanize it. Shinichi's name got changed to Jimmy Kudo sdkjgsdkfsdjskd i would watch the dub just bc from what ive seen it's venturing into "so cheesy it's hilarious" territory but it made me cringe so bad when i tried skjdfhsjkd despite my best efforts... i cannot handle Jimmy. THANK U AGAIN 4 THE ASK i hope that was somewhat coherent!!

[hawatson]

Decided to give my account a Fujimine Yukiko layout. I was going with Higo-san at first but I felt like that would be too obvious since I'm his fan.

[letitrainasunnyday]

Just curious, why do you hate eisuke?

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Listen, I don’t hate Eisuke. It’s just that I have a flair for the dramatic when I’m answering asks cause it’s funnier that way. I think, anyway. 

It’s not that I hate him, really, cause hate’s too strong a word. I just found him useless. Utterly, incredibly, unbelievably useless. He was some sort of ploy to give Rena’s character depth, I guess, but does anyone remember the last time we heard about Rena? Cause neither do I. 

So he ended up being a new character that I was never even remotely compelled by, who very unsuccessfully tried to create some sort of weird love triangle with Shinichi and Ran which, honestly, I never understood what the fuck kinda drugs Aoyama was on when he thought he could sell us that bullshit.

Anyway by the end of his storyline it was pretty clear that he was just another obstacle to make the story longer, and he came in and left and nothing significant whatsoever changed, and I think if someone where to say to Shinichi, “hey, how do you think Eisuke’s doing?”, he’d be like who THE FUCK is Eisuke and honestly, Shinichi, same.

[hnnyoongs]

Kudo Yukiko Headcanons

the first few headcanons are from my post on my incorrect dcmk quotes twitter account so check that out if you want

She's half japanese and half white.

Her hair is all natural, since her eyebrows are also the same color as her hair, even in the flashback from high school so unless she's been dying her eyebrows for 20 or so years...yeah she's got natural reddish-brown hair.

It's not like she was adopted or moved to Japan because her birth name, Fujimine Yukiko, is still completely in Japanese. There are two different reasons for way he name cold be this way. Either she's a bastard/unwanted child of a white man so she adopts her mother's last name or she's got a japanese father and a white mother and she just uses her father's last name like most people.

Yukiko being half white with what seems to be canonically some euro-centric features would have helped her career boost a bunch on the international level. It's fucked up but people of color, especially asians, have a very hard time entering the international acting scene. Detective Conan tells us she's picked up awards from all around the globe and she's got connections throughout Hollywood and Broadway.

Her success in the United States would be easier for the western media to stomach if she had a white parent and could speak English. Unless Detective Conan suddenly doesn't have xenophobia and racism, she would have faced hurdles.

She bonds with Ai about the discrimination they face because of how they look both in Japan and in the US.

Shinichi used to demand Yukiko to read him the original Sherlock Holmes books written by Arthur Conan Doyle in English as bedtime stories, which she did

Yukiko was a child actor.

Now I know canon says that she debuted at 18 but that really does not make any sense what so ever for her to get like every single godamn award at that age. I think that she started out as a small time child actor in Japan but then her talent catapulted her into national fame by the time she started junior high.

The movies she was in Japan became hits internationally once she became a teenager, kind of like how Parasite blew up despite the language barrier. Some of the shows she starred in were dubbed into English because they became so popular but fans outside of Japan wanted her to star in something bigger.

Once she got into high school she began her international career, starring in Hollywood blockbuster after Hollywood blockbuster. She guest starred in some American TV shows and was so popular her characters became recurring characters. Yukiko even took part in a Broadway musical for the funsies, she was on American talk shows and the general population of the USA loved her.

Yukiko built herself up from the ground, from as young as the age of four she was handling her paperwork when it came to acting. This may seem unrealistic but at least in the real life American acting industry, child actors are instructed to take care of everything themselves. Producers don't want your parents on set, they expect 6 year olds to be able to have everything in order.

Yukiko had to travel a lot for her job and in doing so she started thinking that Japan was too small for her, that she wanted to see the world, all the interesting things outside of her boring neighborhood where the same things happen day in and day out. It didn't help that her parents would travel with the money Yukiko had made, so when she had her own son she began to do what her parents did and also what she had wanted to do since a young child. Little did she realize that her son was not her, that her travels would hurt him in a different way than it hurt her.

Teitan was a really accommodating school and took her absences in stride. Yukiko was on good terms with everyone there and was pretty good friends with Kogoro and therefore friends with Eri by extension since wherever one of those two went the other would follow behind trying start up some shit. This is why Teitan is so okay with Shinichi missing school for months, because his mother was similar. This is also why the school is so good at hiding info about Shinichi coming and going, since they had to hide stuff about Yukiko from the media back in the day.

Yukiko can hold a tune but she's not phenomenal at singing either.

She's not as bad as her son, she a little above average to be honest but her acting skills made up for her pretty normal singing when she starred in a Broadway musical. The only reason the musical did so well was because of her popularity.

She helped a lot of other people in broadway with their acting skills which is why even though she's nothing remarkable when it comes to her voice, she's still well loved by the industry.

Yukiko is bisexual.

Her first love was Yusaku and she never had a crush before him. all she really cared about was her career but she loved Yusaku so much she quit. Sometimes she regrets quitting because she misses being on the stage or the big screen or even the small screen but she never lets her husband or son know about these doubts because she's terrified of what their reactions would be.

Shinichi was not planned and Yukiko knew that if she were to raise him that would mean leaving her job at the height of her career but Yukiko felt like the baby inside of her was the light of her life and for him she would destroy the world, yusaku and herself if her child desired such a thing.

Yukiko knew Sharon (who we know as Vermouth) since Yukiko started to trickle into Hollywood but she only started to feel attracted to the woman long after she'd gotten married and had Shinichi. She never voiced her feelings but Yusaku found out anyway and they talked about it. They decided that the healthiest option was for Yukiko to tell Sharon about it in order to get it off her chest when they got the news that the actress had died. When Yukiko found out that Sharon was actually Vermouth it took a real toll on her mental health, not that anyone except Yusaku knew about how hard she took it.

Yukiko and Yusaku both partook in polyamory in the very early stages of their relationship though once they had Shinichi they stopped until they decided Shinichi would be able to chose because they valued his opinion and if their son wasn't okay with the idea that one day the media might unveil that the kudo couple were part of the Hollywood sex scene then they'd decide not to go back into the whole mess. At age 14 Shinichi told them they could do whatever as long as he didn't have to hear the details.

Yukiko wanted to pull Shuichi into a relationship with her and Yusaku, citing that the couple and the FBI agent only had a 5 year age gap Shuichi said he wasn't interested in anything romantic or sexual after Akemi died so the Kudo couple respected his wishes

Yukiko would spend time asking Shuichi questions about the FBI and about himself and observing the man in general whenever she came to check up on his disguise and once she got back to the US she would give Yusaku her notes who in turn wrote the screenplay for "The Scarlet Investigator". Yukiko suggested adding a side couple that owns the house that the main character rents, based off of Yusaku and Yukiko, which Yusaku does by inverting their genders and changing their nationalities to suit a western audience.

Yukiko breaks several laws to make sure that Conan's identity is not outed.

She has Jii and Kaito to mess with security footage, she pays off witness who see him and makes them sign NDAs, and Yusaku does this as well though he does it to a much lesser extent because Shinichi's more likely to get angry at Yusaku for sticking his nose into Shinichi's case than Shinichi would be angry at Yukiko

If Ai ever needs some banned substances that Agasa can't get in order to create the antidote, Yukiko sends her what she needs in bulk

Yukiko will forever hate herself for not realizing Shinichi had gone missing for 2 weeks. If apotoxin worked properly Shinichi would have died and Yukiko wouldn't know because her and Yusaku had turned their phones off for a month straight and only came back to Japan when they turned their phones on again to see that Agasa had left them a message about Shinichi turning into Conan, Ran had texted them asking if they knew where Shinichi was and the school wanted to know why Shinichi was absent

Yukiko continues to bribe Kogoro throughout Conan's stay at the Mouri Detective Agency but it comes to her surprise that Kogoro had saved almost all of it into a college fund for Conan, implying that Kogoro does not plan to give Conan back to his original parents if they ever decide to show up again.

sorry for this word vomit lol

[t4tadrienette]

Do you think they ever explored each other's bodies

[nymphadorathetemplar]

12) dcmk Decative Conyan please!

so while i was in a silly mood one day i said "Detective Conan AU where everything is the same except Conan is a cat" which was supposed to be a joke except i then ended up crafting a legit explanation for how Shinichi turns into a cat instead of shrinking by combining it with Magic Kaito's Pandora legend

i'll just copy & paste my messy google doc notes for this AU under the cut after the snippet

Now for the tiny snippet:

WIP #12: Decative Conyan

Shinichi started to regain consciousness. He had to slowly open his eyes as his head still throbbed from the impact he received. Was he unconscious the whole night? It wasn't as dark as he remembered when he was knocked out, he could easily make out his surroundings. Wait no something was off, it wasn't bright as in more sunlight, it was like the world was put through a light coloured filter allowing him to see things more clearly in the dark than usual. The next thing he noticed was the way his clothes seemed to pool around his body. He shifted to further inspect why his clothes felt this way and found legs covered with black fur with cat paws on the end. Where did this cat come from? Then the cat legs shifted exactly when he tried to move his arms...that's strange...why— it happened again. No way. He must be dreaming or hallucinating from the drug that cold eyed man gave him. There is no way he could have turned into a cat. But no matter how much he twisted and turned and continued to stare at where his human body should be, all he could find was the body of a black cat that moved under his control.

[end snippet ; start google doc au notes]

So i like having fun with APTX ideas that use MK lore of Pandora

so the idea that Pandora is a substance that isn't quite a single gemstone—that's part of how the myth/tale was twisted—Pandora is actually something in certain people's blood and in consuming that blood, people can heal wounds and even extend their life

Once upon a time there were many people who had this blood but they were sought after by greedy/evil people and so they began to dwindle in numbers

Vampire legends come from the people that were trying to find these Pandora people & drinking their blood for extended life

However the people who had the blood of Pandora only had slightly longer than average lifespans and the greedy people didn't want their source of long life to die out so that they may continue drinking and become like immortals

So one solution they tried was making Pandora people drink each other's blood

But rather than healing them, they became cats—black cats to be specific

And they didn't become like normal cats, it appeared they still had their human memories and cognitive functions

Also these Pandora cats are the reason the "black cats are unlucky" and "cats have nine lives" rumours began

the people feared these unnatural cats who seemed able to quickly heal and live an unusually long life

And so that experiment was abandoned and years later APTX was being worked on to create a youth medicine but in the way it was made, it was discovered that the healing properties were being reversed to instead kill the body without a trace, thus it was decided to use it as a poison.

Now even with the Pandora people seeming to be extinct, there are still some out there. And their blood was passed on through some families. One of them being through Fujimine Yukiko's family.

When Shinichi is given the APTX, his Pandora blood reacts with it, causing him to turn into a cat.

As a cat—now named Conan as he indicated by messing with a Conan Doyle book when he was found in the Kudou library and adopted by Ran—of course no one can understand him so he has to figure out ways to point out the clues to solve the murders and sometimes other mysteries

[shinidogawa]

HEADCANONS BASED ON IF CONAN AND SHINICHI WERE SEPARATE PEOPLE

Firstly, Shinichi wouldn’t have to deal with the Black Organization and getting shrunk by their drug. He’s able to live life as a regular high schooler with his friends.

Conan is Shinichi’s cousin and is the son of Yukiko’s sister, Fumiyo Fujimine (now Fumiyo Edogawa after being married to Conan’s father). The only reason why they’ve never met is because Yukiko and Fumiyo’s relationship had grown sour due to Fumiyo’s jealousy of her older sister’s success and eventually broke contact with her when Shinichi was 7, so the Kudou family wouldn’t be able to meet Conan when he was born.

Conan only heard about his Shinichi-niichan in the news due to the amazing amount of cases he was able to solve and decided he wanted to be just like him. He begged his mother to help style his hair like his Shinichi-niichan and Fumiyo took it as Conan wanting to be better than Shinichi, so she agreed.

Conan spends every hour of his day reading mystery novels so he could become as good of a detective as Shinichi. Because of how much he strains his eyes, though, he ends up needing prescription glasses.

The only reason Conan ends up staying with the Kudou family is because his mother and father end up in a car accident and end up hospitalized. 

Shinichi notices how shy Conan is and immediately takes him under his wing when they first meet. He knows what its like to be alone at his age and doesn’t want the same to happen to Conan.

Conan eventually comes out of his shell the more he spends time with Shinichi and starts mimicking his actions, even getting into soccer so he could have something else to bond with Shinichi about.

Shinichi affectionately calls Conan his “Squirt”.

Shinichi will curl up in bed with Conan at his side and read him whatever book he was interested at that time until he fell asleep.

Shinichi taking Conan out to the amusement park whenever they’re both out of school and treating him to dessert and whatever sweets the boy desired at that moment.

Shinichi is way too protective of a big brother, so he ABSOLUTELY does not let Conan near any dead bodies or crime scenes under any circumstances. Shinichi had to deal with seeing corpses at a young age and he doesn’t want Conan to deal with the same thing.

Shinichi would let Conan go to one of KID’s heists, though. And if Nakamori-keibu or any other police officer tried to shoo the boy off, Shinichi would defend him and tell them that Conan had the right to be there, seeing as he’s the one who helped solve KID’s heist notice.

Consequently, KID would have to deal with tantei-kun AND meitantei at the same time, so sucks for him lmao. At least Conan won’t be as aggressive with his soccer balls as canon!Conan is.

Conan is more intrigued by his tricks and performances and actually looks up to KID (not that he would tell Shinichi-niichan that or he’d get jealous). So he isn’t as serious about catching KID as Shinichi is.

Conan probably has a huge crush on his Ran-neechan after meeting her because of how kind and caring she is. Instead of getting mad at him about it, Shinichi probably teases Conan about it to his dismay.

[gisachi]

hmmm i'd like to see how desperate they can be. Kiss prompts #14 for shinran, maybee? thankyou 🤟

Thank you for the request! Wanted to do a trope and this is how it turned out. Hope this is an enjoyable read. 💖

14. A kiss so desperate that the two wind around each other, refusing to let go until they are finished. (2,374 words)

.

.

In her seventeen years of existence, Mouri Ran has never met a person as infuriating as Kudou Shinichi.

She isn’t a particularly spiteful person. In fact, she’s always so welcoming and positive. Her well-earned reputation in school as the top of her class and her father and mother being one of the best detectives and lawyers in town do not in any way inflate her ego and turn her into an arrogant prick. If any, others spite her, never the other way around. (Though no one - ever - has brought it upon themselves to hate on the ray of sunshine that is Mouri Ran.)

As nice as she may be however, Kudou Shinichi always seems to get on her nerves.

Perhaps the only thing he inherited from the world-famous but humble Kudou Yuusaku and Fujimine Yukiko are their physical attributes. Sharp jawline, charming eyes, straight nose, pearly teeth, prominent Adam’s apple, broad shoulders, lean body…in short, fine. Good-looking. Hot maybe, yes. But she cannot let just that overshadow his absolute cockiness.

For instance, Ran is grateful for people who correct her mistakes, however seldom they may happen, but everytime Shinichi does it - in front of the class, brandishing a proud smirk at the end of it all - she feels the veins on her temple pop. She never cared at first, but when done habitually (and consciously?) by the same person, an underlying urge to punch him straight on the face arises. She knows she is nice but her patience isn’t eternal.

The rational half of her tells her to ignore him, but the petty half of her screams at her to give him a taste of his own medicine. So she revels inwardly at the hooded stare he gives her back whenever she contradicts a portion of his answer in Japanese History class, and restrains her satisfied grin when she corrects his negative integers into positives on the board during Math.

The class takes the toll in this twisted brain battle, because one-on-one debates between the top two students lead to extended fourth period and lesser lunch time. On the bright side, the lazy and unprepared don’t get to recite, so they let the two be.

Their academic tension spills even to athletics. Admittedly, he’s great at soccer, no surprise for an Ace. Her attempts at scoring a goal every time he gate keeps always end in failures, but what irks her more are the deafening screams of his fangirls behind the rails and his annoying wave like he’s some celebrity, beaming proudly like she hasn’t given him a hard time. (She hasn’t.)

But if he has soccer then she has karate. His powerful leg muscles are no match for her deadly roundhouse kicks. Shinichi has begged for his life once - when she has him pinned down between her legs on the floor in front of their classmates for a test of strength. Then he hasn’t brought that up ever again. That’s her win, not that she’s counting. (But really, that’s her win.)

He breathes, she’s annoyed.

When their gaze meets in the hallway, she is tempted to hold it and see if he’ll turn away first.

When he utters her name (“Mouri-san”, husky and sonorous), she wants to utter his back with twice the spite and snark. One that can bite. Tingle. Keep him up at night.

“Sometimes I wonder if you want to kill each other or kiss each other,” her best friend Sonoko brings up during lunch, and that’s just about enough to turn Ran’s mood into sour.

“I do not want to kiss him!” she reacts in a guilty way, and coincidentally they hear a resounding “I do not want to kiss her, barou!” along the corridor, only for Makoto and a grimacing Shinichi to appear on the door frame the next second, and their eyes meet, only to look away immediately.

“Maybe it’s you and Kyougoku-san who want to kiss each other,” Ran says bitterly, attempting to get back at her friend upon seeing her and Makoto exchange knowing glances.

“Mm, yeah maybe we do.” Sonoko grabs a bite of tamago sushi from her bento. Ran rolls her eyes.

“What? At least I’m being honest,” she chides, but Ran is already too engrossed glaring (rather salaciously, in Sonoko’s opinion) back at Shinichi to hear her or even notice her being an audience to their subtle eye makeout.

What do the other girls see in him? He’s a conceited, competitive brat who likes to pit with her for the fun of it. Sonoko says he’s not as annoying as she makes him out to be, which is about the only time she doubts herself because Sonoko does get annoyed easily. But Ran sees Shinichi in the hallway and she recalls the shameless bites and banters and sparring bruises and classroom debates and yep, her blood boils for this lad.

On Valentine’s Day, Ran makes chocolate.

More like, she helps her mother make one for her dad. For everyone’s sake and their stove’s. Since there are excess ingredients, why not? She doesn’t know for whom and why though, she just makes it.

(“Oh, you have a boy in mind?” “None, kaa-san.” “Let me guess, Yukiko-san’s son?” “NO!”)

She’s greeted by girls pooling outside the classroom. Sneaking a peek at the tag of a daintily wrapped box one of the underclassmen holds, she isn’t surprised to read Kudou Shinichi’s name on it. The subject appears behind her, and the girls line up and squeal in glee, and he greets them all while she huffs, not sparing a second look at the commotion as she makes a beeline for her seat.

She doesn’t understand why he always ends up alone with her after class when they both know that’s not the best idea. Their homeroom teacher just cannot read the atmosphere, because this is the third time he’s designated the two as class reps for student affairs work. This time, it’s a campus tour for visiting students. She hates it because she and Shinichi can never agree on anything.

“I’ll sketch the route, you do the tour,” she says.

“No, you do the hosting, I do the planning,” he counters.

“Aren’t you better at talking?” Ran sneers, remembering the chaos of fangirls and all annoying flowery words he’s probably said back. “Or don’t tell me it’s just the confidence and charm overcompensating for the lack of substance?”

“I can plan and I can host well, but I do the planning now ‘cause I did the talking in our presentation last time while you rested at the back and let me do the bulk of the task but thanks,” he rises from his seat and leans his body on the desk next to her, “for thinking that I’m charming.”

“I didn’t— I wasn’t—!” Ran’s cheeks heat up in fury or embarrassment or both. “I’m just saying this task is the best time to utilize your charisma!”

“But aren’t you charismatic yourself, Mouri-san? As expected from the daughter of a lawyer mother and a detective father?”

“No- I mean, yes, whatever, but we need charm and-”

“And I have it? What do I say? Is this your roundabout way of making me admit that you’re charming too?”

“I wouldn’t do anything like that, baka!”

He holds her challenging gaze, long and hard.

“In any case, I refuse. I plan the routes.”

“No, I plan the routes, you do the talk. No ifs. No buts.”

“This is just a simple assignment, Mouri-san! Why can’t we agree for once?” he snaps, stepping forward.

“Exactly! This is just a simple task, Kudou-kun! Why do you have to be so overbearing?” She steps forward.

“I am not overbearing. You are!”

“No, you are! You’re the hardest to deal with! I can’t even stand being near you! You’re the absolute worst! You’re—”

And then he’s hovering over her, sealing her lips shut with his own.

It happens lightning fast. He's in a respectful distance one second and then he’s hogged all her space and claimed her lips the next. Her heart rate has already gone up at the start of the bicker but now it’s literally flown off the charts.

“Kudou-kun—!” Ran gasps when her back hits the wall of the classroom, disconnecting their lips for a second. “I’m... not done...speaking—”

“And we’re not done kissing,” Shinichi angles his head for another searing kiss and that is enough to turn Ran into a puddle of melted flesh in his arms. Doomed they will be if students outside the window look up their floor and catch her back pressed suspiciously against the glass with his body the only thing keeping her upright. She can only pray they won’t. Because she doesn’t push him away.

Maybe she doesn’t care so much about being seen? Or maybe she doesn’t have the mind to think of anything else when his scent and his taste and his touch take over her senses and it still isn’t enough. This she realizes as her hands cup his warm cheeks to deepen the pressure of their connected lips, both red and swollen from the fiery mutual exchange. She kisses him with no intention of stopping. She kisses him like she’s making up for the moments her subconscious wanted to but didn’t. The tightening arms around her waist and desperate push of tongue in her are all she needs to understand that Shinichi must be thinking the same thing.

(“Mouri-san,” he sighs in her mouth. “Mm, Kudou-kun,” comes her lush reply.)

Only when she feels herself blacking out from lack of oxygen - or the fact that she feels hands untucking the hem of her school uniform from her skirt - does she unconsciously push his chest away, giving them an inch of space.

Stunned and breathless, they separate with the thought that what they share may have been too much for a first kiss. Achievers always aim for too much; anything less and they die. Too much is always too good.

For a first kiss, theirs is pretty characteristic.

“Huh.” She utters low. Any sound will do to kill the awkward silence that has stretched on for too long.

“Well.” He speaks, a little strained, but coughs his throat clear and gets himself together. “If you may...continue with what you’re saying, Mouri-san.”

For someone who’d just kissed her heatedly in an empty classroom in the middle of an argument and was so close to successfully getting his hands under her shirt, Ran is pretty impressed at how he manages to remain courteous in addressing her.

“Y-You’re the absolute worst,” arms still wrapped around his neck, she begins, but doesn’t remember what she’s supposed to say next. All coherent thought has flown out the window when his lips meet hers five minutes ago. She has no choice but to rely on the power of impromptu speech. Like Shinichi said, she’s good at that, kind of. He can probably hear her pulse palpitating on her wrist as she speaks.

“You’re...You’re such an airhead and you think so highly of yourself just because you have so many fangirls. Kuroba-kun or Hattori-kun from the other class are better and much more handsome than you, would you believe? You’re not the only charming guy in this school, Kudou-kun! And you don’t have to correct my flimsy academic mistakes in front of the class for a moment of schadenfreude, damn it! You annoy me to no end! I was this close to giving you my chocolate but good thing I didn’t because you know what? You’re annoying. Truly. You’re so full of yourself and I don’t like you for that and, y-you’re annoying and...and gods I hate you so much I’ll kiss you to death—”

She’s ready to tiptoe but his hands on her waist hold her still.

“What?!” she snaps, not sure where she’s more pissed at, the guy she’s about to kiss or the guy she’s about to kiss stopping her from kissing him again.

(A third option is herself but she’s already established her seething self-loathe when she chose to kiss him back.)

“I-I should be asking that, Mouri-san, what?” he stammers over her lips. “I... Give me your chocolate.”

Ran blinks, partly confused, partly surprised. She tries to comprehend how that is a proper response to whatever she just said (which by now, she’s already forgotten - or at least, in the process of forgetting).

“Give me your chocolate and I’ll eat it even though the chocolates I make with mom surely taste better but I’ll take what you made for me anyway. Don’t even get me started about how much I think it’s funny that you’re thinking about me as you make your chocolate, I mean, wow, there’s always that possibility, but still, wow. I-” he catches his breath, continues, “I’ll give you a better one on White Day. So please give me your chocolate.”

She doesn’t know what to make of the string of words that spew right out his mouth, but she can feel her face tightening to a grimace. Surely now, she knows she’s better at impromptu speech than him.

“You really expect me to give you my chocolate after you insult me? Wow, you really are an ass!” she shouts, as if she hasn’t mocked him the same.

“An ass who’s rejected every single chocolate given him except for one,” he says. His gaze locks her eyes, then her lips, then her eyes again. “And he’s even begging for that one chocolate, how ridiculous is that.”

Ran holds her breath, feels her face burn from his blazing irises.

“You don’t say-”

“I do say.”

His lips twist mischievously, too handsome for her heart to take.

“And you did say something else a while ago. Something equally interesting.” He cranes his head lower. “You said you hate me to death?”

Ran feels her toes tipping to balance.

“...Yes,” she lets go of his nape, hands sliding down to the plane of his chest and crumpling his shirt in her fists. “I hate you so, so much.”

“Oh by all means,” he leans in to swoop her lower lip gently between his teeth, smirks as he pulls it for a soft tug, “hate me all you want.”

I really appreciate those who read my random fanfictions so here's one for all of you

-

Kudo Shinichi is a proud man. He's composed, calcutive, and strict. Being exposed in a world of crimes and injustice through books and media ever since he was a young child, he created an image built upon his own desires. He strived to save victims and put criminals behind bars. Unlike his father who's contented with writing about amazing detectives, he wanted to be one.

And so he did, at a young age and still in highschool, he managed to rise to the top by helping the police with even the most difficult of cases. He craved mystery, like they were drugs. Something he can never live without. He isn't just Kudo Shinichi, son of the great mystery writer, Kudo Yuusaku and legendary actress Fujimine Yukiko any longer. He's Kudo Shinichi, great high school detective of the east, and saviour of the police force.

Of course, just like anyone, he has an idol and a role model to be inspired from. Who's a better encouragement than the greatest detective of all time, Conan Doyle's masterpiece of a character, Sherlock Holmes? Just like Holmes, Shinichi's someone who despise injustice and corrects it. Just like Holmes, Shinichi has a sport he's good at when violence is needed. Just like Holmes, Shinichi is a living mystery killer, who sheds light to even the darkest of enigma.

People claimed him to be 'not just like Holmes' anymore, rather, he is him. The Sherlock Holmes of the modern era.

But people who really knew this person would beg to disagree. He may have similarities with the world's most famous detective, but they're all—except for their brand of justice— taken from face value. After all, Holmes was described to be someone who's logical through and through, never letting emotions get the best of this respectable man. But Shinichi? Shinichi has feelings. Compared to his beloved fictional character, Kudo Shinichi is human.

As a human, he naturally have emotions. Emotions such as dread and anger showed when he was drugged by those men in black that unfortunate day. Feelings like panic and fear kicked in whenever he gets in contact with them. Sensing regret and self loathing every time he thinks back to what could have happen if he wasn't so careless?

He was trapped. Trapped by anxiety and paranoia that they'll come after him and those he loved if they ever found out. Trapped in a body of a 6 year old kid who's basically useless in every sense of the word. Trapped in a place where no one, not even Haibara Ai—or Miyano Shiho—can get to, despite being in the same predicament.

But he didn't give up. He couldn't. Giving up meant throwing away everything he's been living for. Letting the evil ones win while he rot and die. Whether as a detective or as a person, he can't let that happen.

So, after a year and a half of careful planning, cunning actions, and mind boggling game of hide and seek, they finally did it. It was hard, but it was worth it.

He got back to his old body and everything has gotten better and better, as they all live happily ever after.

If only it had gone that way.

Even after the final battle, he couldn't sleep. Always on his guard, tension filling his lungs, his body can't even relax. He felt like he's being watched, that Gin and Vodka would come banging at his door, waking him up from a dream. They would traget his parents and the professor, even going as far to kill everyone who made contact with him.

But of course, none of his wild imagination happened. Years went by and as the organization was left behind by those involved, he felt like he was still in the past.

He was suffocating. In the day, he had to always be careful to anyone he converse with, fearing they might be Vermouth in disguise. During the afternoon, he always had to check any unuasualness, dreading Chianti and Korn would shoot him anytime. At night, he wouldn't—couldn't— sleep a wink, ready at any moment the men in black would take away everything he has gained back.

He may be freed from the chains of their crimes, but he's still haunted by the scars so deeply imbedded in his arms he couldn't move on. They might be dead, but he's still being taunted by their malignant ghosts. The black organization was gone, but they took Kudo Shinichi with them to suffer.

But, just as he thought he had reached rock bottom, a hand would appear everytime, holding out to him. At the other side would be an angel, in the form of his most beloved wife, Mouri—now it's Kudo— Ran.

She would hug him, filling his cold world with warmth he didn't know he needed until then. She would whisper sweet things in his ears, making his trembling body stop it's nervous shaking. She would kiss him, giving him the air he'd then realized he lost. She would comfort him, using her presence alone, reminding him he's not alone. That he'll never be alone.

And everytime that would happen, he would always feel like he didn't deserve her. It wasn't a new feeling. Ran was so kind that no one deserved her. But, he was selfish, taking everything away from the woman who loved him too much.

The woman he deceived and lied to for too many times.

The woman who believed in him even when he didn't believed in his own self.

The woman who didn't give up on him even when there was no hope he can grasped on to.

The woman who's kindness got her involved and almost killed.

The woman who stayed for him, when he abandoned his own.

The woman who waited.

And the woman who he loved most in this cruel world.

He'd always whisper into her right ear with a quivering tone, burying his exhausted being in her long chestnut hair, enjoying his—yes his and only his— wife's warmth.

"I don't deserve you."

Then he would feel her smile on his shoulder, giving it a light kiss that still gave a million butterflies in his stomach.

"You're worth it Shinichi. You're always worth it."

She'd reply in that sweet voice of hers, satisfaction and gentleness so painfully clear that Shinichi was always forced to believe it.

He'd always hold her a little closer and a little tighter, confirming that she's real. That she's not dead and that he won't ever lose her.

With that, Kudo Shinichi will live another day, fighting the demons that dragged him down, knowing that an angel will always pull him up.
