Detective conan: Life in jaws of death

The Beginning of the End

Disclaimer: I don't own detective Conan.

The rains come again and when they leave they will leave behind nothing but mud. The sound of thunder blazon the arduous path ahead but the lighting cite the fact that the light effaces the darkness, even though for a jiffy. This is the motivation every virtuous person must have.

These thoughts fill the mind of Conan as he looked out, travelling in mouri's car, at the dark clouds that seem to insinuate the bad weather ,which would be there in Tokyo for the whole day. But it is only a typical sight in Tokyo, where the weather vacillates between sunny to rain in this part of the year. However, the main concern for Conan was neither the weather nor any of the mouri tedious talks where he was boasting on his successful previous cases, but was what every person has-the future. Ran and Sonoko have become doubtful of Sleeping Kogorou and Sonoko's deduction show, which shared stark similarities between them. Also, indications suggest that black organisation is to something. And, Sera's demeanour has changed quite drastically since when Conan learnt the truth of the mystery girl. Is Sera truly only a troublesome teenage detective or is she much more?

By dusk, Conan, ran and mouri reached back the agency, tired by much of today's case which was again solved by Sleeping Kogorou .Conan suddenly thought of Shuichi Akai a visit.

"Ran-neechan, can I go to okiya subaru-san's house? Shinichi-neechan has asked to do something." Conan spoke in an innocent but sceptical voice.

"You may. But make sure to come before dinner" Ran replied in gracious voice with a much loved smile on her face.

Conan was a bit surprised as how Ran allowed so him so easily. But this was not the time to think this. He hastened off to okiya's house, but to his surprise he found the gate locked. Wondering where akai could have gone, Conan ambled back to the agency, but stopped on thought of asking haibara on this too. He turned back to go to next door professor's house but a sudden sensation aroused a sensation of being followed!

"Someone is following me. I am sure. But who?" Conan spoke to himself as he turned around swiftly with sweat drops appearing on this body.

Conan looked around but even though there were around twenty people around him, as pedestrians or in car, no one seem suspicious but the fact that he was being watched made him restless.

He tried to calm down himself and thought from where the sensation came. He quickly realized that it was from behind the electricity pole. Someone must have been peeping in from there. He made quickly to the point but to no good. If someone would have been there, he was long gone.

Conan made his way to professor's house briskly; with his mind wandering all over all what happened back in front of the house and also about his concerns. Reaching professor's house, he rang the door bell. The door opened quickly in around ten seconds, with haibara opening it.

"Don't you have to go with the old man to solve some case?"Haibara asked with a typical questioning look in her eyes.

"I solved the case and we came back. But I want to talk something important. Wouldn't you allow me in?" Conan said with a nervous smile on his face.

"Why not?" Haibara said as she opened the door wide open and Conan came in hurriedly. She closed the door and both made their way to the living room.

"So why are you here? Again the BO!" asked haibara looking Conan in his eyes as they dawdled to the living room.

Conan was surprised and instantly asked "How do you know that?"

Haibara smiled as they both sat in the room and replied "Its clear that you would not have came to see mine health or professor's conference status and also you were sweating when you came here. Your shoes and clothes have some leaves on it. Since they fall off the body more when you run, which you did, but still had many on you, which clearly implies that you meandered through in here by taking the route through the park and in the way you came through some bushes, due to which you got the leaves on you".
