Detective Conan : We Still Continue

Character 12: Final Words

Kazuha gathered her things and left the hospital to return back to her friend's cottage. When she entered the living room of the cottage a maid asked her to follow her. She led her to the dining room where Sonoko was having quietly her breakfast. The rich girl without looking at the new comer asked her to sit and have breakfast too in a cold tone. Kazuha sat next to Sonoko and began eat too trying to ignore the cold aura which was coming from Sonoko. There was a long silence in the dining room and the only thing they could hear was the cutlery. At some point Sonoko left her cutlery to fall on her plate. The landing at the dish resonated throughout the room pulling the attention of all who were in the room. The girl nodded to her servants to leave the room closing the door behind them so she could be alone with her friend. Once the entire room was empty, Sonoko looked intensely at Kazuha. Kazuha touched the cutlery down too, and looked at her friend. After a few minutes Sonoko spoke icy.

"So... how was your night last night?" Kazuha looked at her and replied calmly.

"Good and quiet."

"There was nothing important?" the rich girl continued.

"Oh - no!" the pony tailed girl answered quickly.

"Your face says other things... come on... tell me, you did it, didn't you?" Sonoko's tone changed to a more cheerful one making Kazuha breath better and jump embarassed.

"What? But how do you know?"

"I didn't know... I just learned it. " the rich one laughed evilly. "You're easy to read, you know that?" she teased her pony tailed friend. "Come on, don't be mad!"Sonoko laughed.

"Well...how is Ran? I feel bad for not being here... because I had to be here too..." Kazuha's expression darkened and let her head fall slowly ashamed.

"She cried all day yesterday... but don't worry at all. ", the other girl said. "I think today she will be better.", she continued " But -"

* BAM *

The doors opened with force causing them to hit the wall behind them and an angry girl appeared behind them. Kazuha and Sonoko blinked for a few seconds but Sonoko woke up first.

"RA-RAAAANNNN... you scared me! Good morning!" Sonoko trimmed.

"Ran-chan!" said full of joy the other girl. "What are you doing? Good morning!"

"Ah! Yes... hello... Well... How did you do yesterday? How were the kids?" Ran sounded sleepy as she walked towards them slowly and yawning. The girl with the tail glared at her rich friend.

"Yes, Kazuha.... The little girl who was scared yesterday cause of the heavy rain?" Sonoko smiled nervously at Kazuha trying to make her play along. Kazuha got the meaning and went along quite easily. Ran believed her so she dropped the conversation very soon. Kazuha looked at her tired friend and felt really bad.

"Ran-chan. I am very sorry... really sorry... for being away last night when you needed me the most.. But I have some good news to make up for it!" Kazuha tried to cheer her friend up. Ran was interested so she waited to hear the news. Kazuha started to narrate everything she had heard that night at Kudo's room.

"Then, you mean that they aren't together? He told me more lies? It's OVER! OH GOD! I am SO finished with him! If he doesn't want me once, I don't want him ten! No! One hundred!" Ran screamed. Her two friends looked at her lost in her words. She got it completely different that they had thought.

'How??' they thought.

"But Ran! He didn't say that because he doesn't want you back but-" Kazuha tried to explained to her.
