Forgotten Memories [Detective Conan Fanfic]

Surprise

Calm down Shiho

The strawberry blonde beauty paced herself at a certain speed, as she whirled through the mall quick but stealthily, hoping she wouldn't find herself face to face with Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri.

At least she thought it was them.

She could only secretly pray that it wasn't, pray that what Kudo Shinichi said to her was sincere.

But then again, who was she to judge? It's not like they're in a relationship or anything, he can date whatever girls he likes and she can fantasize about any hot celebrities she wants.

Shiho turned a sharp corner and exited just as quickly as she went into the dress store. Her blue aquamarine eyes were focused solely on the road, yet her mind was nowhere near wondering if the pavements were repolished. Her strawberry blonde hair floated with every step she took, as the plastic bag filled with her dress continuously grazed against her skin.

She did not pay attention to her surroundings like she always did. She did not notice a bunch of high school guys whistling and smirking at her. Instead, her mind kept swirling around a detective.

I thought we had an unofficial thing going on.

Shiho furrowed her eyebrows in dismay and delved deeper into the situation.

You should've never gotten your hopes up Shiho.

Tears threatened to flow out of her eyes and she stopped at the traffic lights, the red, yellow and green colour seemed to emerge into each other as tears blurred out her vision. She took a deep breath, regaining her poker face. Gently, she wiped the tears away and began to walk home.

'I'm home,' Shiho announced, entering the mansion.

The lights were turned off, and not a sound was heard. Shiho knitted her eyebrows together as she hesitantly searched for the light switch.

As soon as her fingers touched the switch, a chorus of 'horrays' echoed through her ears. Bright lights shone upon her, making her eyes squinch in the sudden change of luminosity.

It took her a second to realize the situation she was in.

She faced a crowd of smiling people who had their gazes fixed on her, they were all wearing formal outfits, making her seem less superior. There were about ten people in the decorated room, filled with ribbons, balloons, confetti, and food, which she hopes Agasa won't consume much of. As if on cue, she saw Agasa's gaze circulating around the plentiful food placed on the table. There was also a sign saying...

Crap

She forgot it's her birthday.

Mentally scolding herself, yet again, she wondered how they knew, it's not like she's told any of them her birthday before.

And that's when she saw the detective boys.

Now everything makes sense.

Her mind flashed back to the time Mitsuhiko asked when her birthday was, and the continuous sneaky conversations Heiji and Kazuha had, and the dress she had ordered her to buy.

She scanned the room and saw the detective boys, Agasa, Subaru, Kaito, Heiji, Kazuha, Rei and Masumi.

'Shi, Happy Birthday!' Kazuha squealed, her puffy yellow dress danced like a bubble around her.

'Oh my god,' she gasped, 'now everything makes sense,'

'Yeah,' Heiji chuckled, 'the weird conversations,'

'You know you guys didn't have to do this for me,' Shiho replied, amazed at the amount of effort put into this.

'Shi, go change your clothes to that pretty dress you bought,' Ayumi said, 'I'll go help you,'

The little girl pulled Shiho up to her room, and as she did, the blonde beauty tried searching for someone within the crowd of people.

She walked into her room with a crestfallen face.

___________________________________________________________

Everyone had fun, ate food, played games, and danced the night away. Everyone except for Shiho. Under her content facade, hides her heartbroken expression.

Flashback

'Hey Kazuha, do you know where Kudo is?

'No, but I think Ran said something about them going out somewhere...' Kazuha said, reflecting back on her conversation and realizing what happened, 'oh,'

'Oh my god, I'm so sorry,' Kazuha immediately pulled Shiho into an embrace, the scientist felt her heart shatter into pieces as she pressed her lips into a thin grim line.

She felt heavy all of a sudden, like the weight of the world had just come crashing upon her, like she's been snapped back to reality.

'It honestly doesn't matter,' she smiled bitterly, 'the detective and I never had a relationship anyway.'
