Forgotten Memories [Detective Conan Fanfic]

Dress

Next day

School

Ran walked through the school gates, the sun kisses her skin as she glanced around.

No one seems to be at school yet.

She sighed helplessly as she remembered her predicament in the morning, her dad had to drive her out of the house because a client was coming in at about 8 am, so she had to go before that time.

Speaking of clients, Kogoro's business has still remained the same, even after Conan went. He's been receiving numerous amounts of commissions, and he surprisingly doesn't fail to solve it. But he does not use his brain like most detectives when he solves crimes-

Well, he rarely does.

Instead, he uses his luck. Usually, he points his fingers at a person, then they confess, or they spill the beans causing the police to uncover his secret.

Even Ran feels ashamed.

The karate prodigy then heard footsteps behind her, she stopped and swiftly turned around, fearing that it might be a stranger.

To her surprise, standing in front of her was her childhood sweetheart. Was. She raised her eyebrows into a quizzical look, wondering why he was here this early.

'Are you okay, Shinichi,' she asked caringly, seeing him panting and wiping the sweat from his forehead.

'I-I ran all the way from my house,' he huffed out uneasily.

'Why?' she questioned even more confused.

'I saw you walking passed my house, and I needed to talk to you,' he explained, regaining his posture, 'privately.'

'Sure what is it?' Ran replied, eager to know.

'Ran,' he stared at her directly in the eye, 'would you go out with me....'

Shiho hid her face behind a teen vogue magazine, barely lifting her gaze from the whispering couple who she observed critically at and who she deemed 'awfully suspicious'.

She furrowed her eyebrows in utter annoyance, as she glared poisonously at the two teen. Unable to hold the tolerance in any longer, she finally spoke up.

'What are you guys hiding, huh?' she queried, more rather, demanded, trying to act polite.

'Eh, what are you saying Shi?' Kazuha replied, her eyes seeking Heiji for help.

'Yeah, what do you mean?' Heiji added.

'I mean, all the whispering and chattering,' she clarified, eying the two.

'Oh that's just us discussing,' Kazuha explained.

'What exactly?'

A silence came upon them as Shiho got more suspicious.

'You and Kudo, what else,' Heiji immediately thought of on the spot, making Shiho blush, 'you guys have been hanging out with each other, so we thought something was going on between you two,'

Her eyes widened, 'what are you talking about, I have absolutely-'

'ANYways, speaking of Kudo, where is he,' Heiji was genuinely curious about where Shinichi was.

'Oh he said he needed to go to school early for some reason so he left,' Shiho said.

'Oh Shi,' Kazuha chirped in, 'after school today, you have to go buy a new dress at the mall because I'm gonna have a party,'

'For what?'

'For fun!' Kazuha replied cheerfully, 'because so much has happened recently we need to take a break.'

'Fair enough, but I'll pass the party,'

'Wha- why?' Kazuha asked.

My plan isn't working

'Because I don't have time for it,' she replied, 'I'm gonna go to Agasa's house to work in the lab,'

'Please, for me,' she stared at Shiho with puppy eyes.

She avoided looking at Kazuha, so her eyes wandered back to the magazine she was reading -well- hiding her face with. Kazuha stole a quick glance at Heiji and mentally begged him for help. Being an observant detective as he is, he noticed her signal, but simply shrugged.

I'm gonna kill him later

They stayed like that for a few more seconds, before Shiho surrendered.

'Fine,' she sighed helplessly, 'but don't I already have a dress?'

'That dress is in the past it's time to buy a new one,' Kazuha stated, 'it's tonight ok?'

'Tonight?' Shiho repeated, eyes widening.

Shiho ran her fingers along the hem of the lavishly designed dress, embellished with white floral prints on the bottom half, and navy blue on the torso. It had a romantic off the shoulder top, and a strappy plunge neckline contrasting with the flowing organza floral print skirt. Her eyes landed on the skirt the second she walked into the store, and her eyes are still fixed upon it, admiring the elegance and at the same time, the purity of the dress.

Seconds later, she found herself in the middle of a long queue, holding the same dress she'd had her gaze fixated upon. Shiho caressed the texture of the dress.

Very smooth

She looked for the price tag, hoping it wasn't that much over her budget.

34000!!

Her legs suddenly felt wobbly, as she fidgeted the tag, and she could only pray that she'd read it wrong.

She sighed. Well I don't spend my money that often, so I've saved up quite an amount, therefore, it'll be nothing right?

As she was about to pay for her dress, she caught sight of two familiar faces walking past the store. Immediately, she turned around. wishing that it wouldn't be who she thought it was.

They turned the corner, but she was sure she spotted a jet black haired boy and a brown-haired girl smiling at each other.

A wave of disbelief washed over her, as she felt her heart drop. Time seemed to freeze, everything seemed to freeze, as her stare lingered on the spot where she saw them. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out, nothing could come out, only a shocking gasp of dismay.

Could it be?

A/N: This is the dress Shiho got:

And so i may not be able to upload weekly, but I'll try my best.
