Coming Full Circle
"I'm telling you Nakamori-keibu, that's all that happened." Shinichi's voice drifted out the doorway of Nakamori's office, attracting the attention of the two teens walking towards it.
"And I don't believe you Kudo. Why would he just leave the diamond with you, after placing roses all over the ground and you on top of them?! It doesn't make any sense, now I want the whole truth!"
The follow up to Shinichi's statement was a good point to make in Kaito's opinion. Grabbing Aoko's arm at the elbow, he proceeded to pick up the pace towards the office while dragging her behind. Judging by the topic of conversation and the irritated tones of voice

"Who are you?"
The soft inquiry startled Kaito from the trance he'd fallen into. Glancing away from Shinichi's still sleeping face he met the eyes of Mouri Ran. She was looking at him quizzically, unsure how to respond to this apparent stranger sitting at her best friend's bedside. The similarities between Kaito and Shinichi probably increased her confusion.
Kaito briefly considered making some lie up, claiming he was some distant cousin. Their physical appearance would make it plausible and he was sure that Kudo Yukiko would be willing to play along in his deception. She would also ensure her husband kept it up as well.
He discarded the n

"His brain activity has been steadily increasing over the past several days. It's a good sign, it means his mind has a greater chance of recovery." The girl, and it was a girl not a woman which was strange since wasn't he in a hospital, sighed before continuing. "There's no way of knowing for sure if he'll ever truly wake up. Chances are he'll become more aware of his surroundings though. Someone needs to be here at all times to talk with him. It's the best shot we have of drawing him back."

"You're kidding right?"
"Nope."
Adalia turned from his post at center stage to face Stephanie, a look of exaggerated horror on his face.
"I'm not doing this."
He turned on one heel, more than ready to stomp off the stage and back into one of the cabins situated on stilts above the ocean water. Adalia grimaced more when Stephanie sunk her sharp nails into his arm, abruptly halting his progress across the stage. With a firm grip on his arm she dragged him back to the center stage.
"You didn't want to participate in the actual race, so you're going to help us out with the prizes."

If there was one thing that could drive Conan mad, it was a well-laid plan gone wrong. And boy, had this plan gone wrong. Wryly he wondered if it was even possible to have so many things deviate from the expected in a matter of minutes.
The sight of Kaitou Kid sailing over the heads of the police officers in a dive, managing to avoid all their grasping hands as well as Nakamori who had been on his tail, informed him that he should probably have expected the world to be flipped on its head that night.
The evening had started out well enough. He'd only just managed to convince Ran to take him to the heist though Sonoko was coming along as wel

"Kuroba-sensei! Kuroba-sensei! Over here!"
A young Kudo Yukiko was wildly waving her arm to catch her disguise sensei's attention. Completely disregarding the nasty looks other patrons of the upscale restaurant were giving her, she continued to call out to him from her seat by the windows. Sitting next to her was a little boy, who couldn't be more than 7 years old, blushing at all the attention his mother was drawing to their table. Hunkered down with his shoulders pulled up to his ears, only the very top of his neat brown hair was visible.
Waving his own hand, though considerably less wildly, in response to the young actress's calls was a

The world was a blurry mess of dark browns, grays, blacks and the occasional splash of green, all accented with a fluorescent lighting. As he slowly came to Conan rapidly blinked his eyes, the lights on the ceiling creating a burning sensation in them. Deciding to keep them shut, he next tried to orientate himself by way of sound. A steady trickle of conversation could be faintly heard from what he assumed was the next room. Undecipherable for the most part, he managed to catch a few words, mostly 'cool kid' or 'Akai!', when Jodie-san spoke. At least he believed it to be Jodie-san.
Throbbing in his head left him confused and irritable, so th

The text from Jodie arrived promptly at six o'clock in the morning.
Still rubbing the sleep from his eyes, Conan gave his phone a baleful, half hearted glare. As the phone continued to beep in an ever increasing crescendo he gathered the energy to move, hitting one of the buttons on it randomly to shut the ringer off. After the phone was set under the pillow to block out the bright light of the screen he sat up properly.
The pops his back made as he flexed his spine while stretching his arms into the air were satisfying, though now he felt his eyes droop. The sensation of being comfortable and warm under the covers and snuggled into the bed

After two days of trying to keep attention away from his injuries, Conan had finally messed up. Big time.
"What if it had gotten worse!? And walking on it without crutches or even a cane, do you know how dangerous that is? You could have done permanent damage to it, and what if there was an accident or if someone tried to kidnap you?! You would have been completely at their mercy!"
It had all started when Kogoro had bumped into him when he'd been moving to set his empty cereal bowl in the sink. While he hadn't been hit very hard, in his tiny body it had been enough to set him off balance. He'd been forced to shift all his weight onto his ba
