Detective Conan : We Still Continue

Chapter 14: New Blood In Town

At Shinichi's House

"Well, here we are!" said the boy cheerfully as he opened the door and let the girl enter his house. The girl looked around amazed by it's space.

"WOW! It's huge!" exclaimed the girl full of admiration.

"HAHAHAHA, yes it is!" the boy agreed with her. "My parents are currently gone but let's go to check your room for today! Okay?"

The girl nodded happily and followed him with her bag to the second floor. Her was large, with a bed in the middle, a wardrobe, at the bedside there was a table and a door leading to the balcony from where you could see the backyard. The girl began to stare all around until she heard the boy's voice from behind her.

"If you want to take a bath the water is ready. Here and the towels!"

"Oh... thank you very much... it wasn't necessary... but... um where is the bathroom?" she smiled innocently.

Shinichi blushed and simply showed with his hand the way to the bathroom. The girl thanked him and left the room humming. Shinichi immediately left for the kitchen to prepare them something to eat. While he was cooking phone rang. His parents called to inform him that they had left for America again. How nice. They left him now, when he was needed them the most. He shook his head disappointed and went to continue with his work.

"Anzu -zen Kazama she said... Where have I heard that name before?" he was wondering while preparing the table. Once everything was ready the girl appeared in her pajamas. Shinichi stared at her and didn't hear anything of what she was saying to him. At some point he noticed her face looking at him puzzled. He woke up and smiled nervously.

"Oh yeah! I have prepared dinner. Sit!" he offered her a sit and they started to eat.

"So, why did you come to Japan?" he asked to start a conversation.

"I started to get bored in America. The house that I will live belonged to my mother, but due to financial problems she sold it and went to America where she met my father. And now that our finances are better I intend to buy it again!" she finished proudly.

"Oh nice... Wait! Maybe my father knows your mother. This is his childhood house after all so they must have been neighbors for so long. What do you say?"

"That would be so cool! My mother's name is Asuka Kazama. She was a well-known fighter! She took part in many tournaments that took place in Japan, where fighters from all over the world took part. She had been the champion several times you know!"

"Well, then he'll definitely know her!" the detective replied. "By the way. How long do you plan on staying in Japan?"

"I think I'm going to school here! As you can see I don't have such a big problem with the language."

"Then come to study at my school! It's one of the best schools in the area." Shinichi suggested.

"Yes, okay! I will ask my parents to send my papers and logically from Monday I'll be there!" she agreed cheerfully.

"Ne... you said that you are a detective, right?"

"Yes?"

"In America?"

"Yes... Don't try to remember me. We haven't met before."

"No... it's just that I must have heard your name before... hm... wait..." he said and got up. He left the kitchen and returned after a while with a huge grin on his face and a newspaper in his hands.
