Precious Shin-chan

Chapter 1:

Shinichi flopped down on the couch, exhausted. He had finally managed to get back to his original body after they had managed to bring down the Organization. It had required a lot of collaborative efforts among police force around Japan, as well as international agencies like FBI and CIA.

"Kudo-kun, I told you to tell me when you got home, remember?"

Shinichi managed to bring his head up just enough to look at Haibara, the mini-scientist looking extremely put off at him. Upon seeing his state though, she relaxed her posture enough to walk around the couch to check on him.

"What happened this time, boya?"

Shinichi groaned, curling a little around himself as Haibara placed her hand on his forehead. He answered, "Another murder case. Satou-san and Takagi-keiji was there too, so it was pretty easy-going until the murderer decided to escape. She used to be a gymnast, so catching her was tricky."

Akai hummed in reply, one eyebrow raised. He was worried for the teen's condition; it had only been a few days since he had reverted to his original size, and Haibara was still conducting daily check-ups on him. Though the antidote had worked permanently on the detective, his body was still a bit weak, what with having only eaten enough for a child for two years. Furthermore, his immunity system was shot, and chasing around murderers was not really helping him get any better.

"Well, you have a slight fever, so you won't be moving around anymore for today. I'll tell the Professor to bring the kids here so we can have dinner together later." Haibara told him, pulling out the necessary medicine from her kit.

Akai moved forward, having gotten a blanket as Haibara conducted her check-up. He draped it over the teen, receiving a faint smile in thanks. "Haibara-san, I can cook for the dinner today, then. I planned on making curry, and I'm sure the children would like that."

Haibara gave the man a deadpanned stare. "That's because curry is the only food you had managed to cook to perfection. I can't believe you're still having problems in cooking even after having Ran-san and Yukiko-san teach you regularly."

The man huffed, left hand scratching his cheek lightly in embarrassment. Haibara sniffed dismissively. "I'll let you cook then, I don't feel like grocery shopping for a few weeks anyway."

Shinichi rolled his eyes as he watched the byplay. Haibara, having chosen to bury Miyano Shiho and start anew as Haibara Ai, had been quite incensed upon learning that Okiya Subaru was actually Akai Shuuichi. She had her suspicions, so wasn't entirely surprised, but annoyed at Shinichi for having hidden the truth from her. The last few months before the takedown, it had been necessary to bring the pieces together, and that had included revealing a few truths to those involved in the main plan.

The only FBI agents included in the actual planning were Jodie, Camel, and James, who had already been informed by Akai's non-death. Other agents were surprised, but were pleased, considering how many agents of their own had infiltrated the Organization and the few number that were still alive. The reputation he had built up as one of the deterrents of the Organization had helped him be welcomed with open arms.

Except for Amuro Tooru, or Furuya Rei.

Similarly with Haibara, he had his suspicions, and was only foiled by the plan Shinichi had conducted with the help of his parents. Furuya had still not forgiven Akai for the supposed murder of his partner, and refused to cooperate entirely with Akai. It had taken the intervention of Shinichi, to calm the man enough to listen to what really happened.

It had also taken the reveal of Edogawa Conan being Kudo Shinichi for the agents to listen to a supposed child. The reveal had garnered the expected shocked reactions, but Shinichi was baffled to find the agents to take the reveal seriously.
