Detective Conan : We Still Continue

Chapter 7: The Party

The next evening after Shinichi's and Heiji's visit.

Ran and the other girls were ready to go. Ran was wearing a red dress that was shining in the light with small black flowers at the end of it. It had an open décolleté too. Her hair was furled up and a red-black flower kept them tightly. She had painted her lips with bright red, her dress was slit at the sides and ended to the ankles where she was wearing black heels. Kazuha was wearing a dark blue dress, strapless and black dragons embroidered on it. She had tied a black ribbon at the waist and the dress reached to the knees and came with black heels. Sonoko wore a dress with collar, gold color. It was sleeveless and reached just below the knees. Also came with gold heels, gold earrings and glossy black headband.

They were all ready. They had been invited to a party that would make a well known businessman and family friend of Suzuki Family, the Blouse Family. They climbed on the limo that awaited at the entrance of the villa of Sonoko and started for the villa where the party would be held. When they arrived and got off the limo, they gave their invitations and proceeded to the room where the party was held. It was a huge space with colorful flowers and at the edge was a platform where an orchestra dressed in red was playing classical music. They picked up from a waiter a martini each and went and sat on the balcony. Then two boys, about their age, one light-brown and one dark-brown haired, both dressed in black approached them.

"Oooohh Sonoko, how beautiful you are today!", said the brunette boy and bowed.

"Hihihihihi... girls let me introduce you, he is the only son of the Blouse family. John Blouse. John here are my friends Toyama Kazuha and Mouri Ran."

"Mouri? Are you the daughter of that well known and famous detective? Oh! What an honor to have you here at my party! I guess you know the other two most famous detectives in Japan, Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji! Ah... They are very good friends of mine! They have helped me many times in the past... But to make a long story short! Here is my cousin Tony.", he showed his companion.

Ran froze at the sound of Shinichi's name and she stared her rich friend. She instead smiled broadly and said "AAAAhhh Kazuha! Quickly come with me to the toilet! And John I believe that you have to welcome your guests!" she winked at him and drag Kazuha away from the balcony. John caught the meaning and walked away silently too. Kazuha didn't understand anything but she simply followed Sonoko leaving Ran and Tony alone. Tony approached the young girl and sat near her.

"Sooo your name is Ran, huh? Such a beautiful name." he tried to flirt with her.

"Yes... thank you very much..." 'What is wrong with that guy? Is he flirting me?' she thought troubled.

"And do you like the party so far?" he continued.

"Yes... It's good! To tell you the truth... I have never been to such a party... It's my first time!" Ran said laughing a little.

"Really? You know... you have such a lovely smile!" Said the boy and approached her more.

'Ok he just push it! But to see where he is going to, I will let him go on.' Ran thought and she smiled again. "Really? How sweet!" she blushed. "This is the first time that someone is telling me something like that."

"If you want to, I can say it all night and day! Because you deserve it! I know about this idiot detective who made you wait so long! And I promise I will not make you wait, never!" he turned to her. Ran looked at him curiously and whispered "Sonoko... so that this what you were saying on the phone previously... gggrrrr...."

"How sweet!" She replied coldly. "But I'm sorry... I don't need anyone's pity! I am good on my own!" and she left very angry the balcony. But at her way out she felt a hand gripping hers. She turned and saw her interlocutor with a crimson color on his face.
