Detective Conan : We Still Continue

Chapter 25: Our Lives Together

It had been a few weeks after the end of the case. Shinichi and Heiji asked from the American Organization to keep a secret the fact that they helped with the case just in case someone else would come after them. The organization was in dept to them so they happily agreed to take all the credit for themselves and keep the two detectives out. They also offered them protection but the two teenagers kindly denied.

Everything started to become normal again. Everyone returned to their normal highschool life. Ran continued to practice karate and Shinichi decided to continue to solve cases. Heiji and Kazuha returned to Osaka and Sonoko returned to her old highschool to be with Ran again. Ran's parents finally accepted the fact that Ran and Shinichi were together again and they didn't try to change their minds. Shinichi's parents left again for some other country as always.

Mairy stayed a little more with them just to finish the year and to be able to cope with her loses. She was accompanying Ran to her practices, running with Shinichi whenever there was a case to solve, anything to keep her head cool and away from her negative thoughts. But every time she would pass out of Anzu's house the emptiness was taking over once again. She was feeling sick and blaming herself for not being able to save none of them. At the end of the school she left. She thanked everyone and promised to keep in touch.

The house at the opposite side of Shinichi's house was kept empty. No one ever came to ask about it, or to sell it or to buy it. Days would pass, days would come months, months years and the time would flow away. Once Shinichi and Ran finished school they had to decide for their lives and their careers. Shinichi decided to become a police detective and later open a detective agency, like Mouri did. Ran decided to continue karate and become a world champion but at the same time she was studying to become a teacher. Mr Mouri closed his agency and Ran's mother came back to live together again with her husband and daughter. But after a few months they went along with the Kudos to travel around the world. Ran moved to Shinichi's house. Heiji decided to do the same as Shinichi so he could work next to his father and Kazuha surprisingly went to study to become a nurse. She really loved babies and she also knew that Heiji was careless so she had to treat him and take care of him.

Years came by. Shinichi and Ran were now 25 and the three little detectives, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi and Genta were now in high school along with Ai who continued to grow along with them. Dr Agasa continued to make a lot of different games and toys and he finally managed to sell some and gain some money which allowed him to buy a house out of Tokyo, with a big garden and live the rest of his life there. Ai continued to stay at his old house next Shinichi's house alone. They all had found their purpose in life and they were walking towards it. They all had left their painful memories behind, kept the good ones and their beloved ones in them and they kept walking towards.

A few years later

Sonoko was getting married that Sunday with Makoto, the famous karate champion. Everyone were at her villa in Hawai. Sonoko was dressed in a beautiful white dress and was sitting nervously on the couch.

''Come on Sonoko! Don't be so nervous! Everything will be ok! Ne?'' Ran tried to calm her friend down.

''Yeah!... Well now that I am thinking about it... do you remember when we were in high school? When we had come here instead of our travel with our schools?'' Kazuha asked excited from the memories she had on that very couch where Sonoko were now sitting.

''Yeah... how can we forget?'' Ran said dreamily. ''We were quite wild then. With that organization huh... do you remember?'' she asked the bride.
