Base is Detective Conan episode 219

Continuing from the prologue...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sayuri's POV:

I stirred the straw in my glass around, watching the bubbles spin. How boring. I want to sleep. Why do I have to be here with 6 other detectives again?

Don't get me wrong, its not like I have anything against detectives. Not really. Well, they are kind of arrogant thinking their all cool when they smirk and point at the culprit saying 'Your the culprit!' And what kind of detective names their hawk Watson after Sherlock Holmes assistant? It's obvious that the other highschool detective is a Sherlock holmes freak.

I sighed. I only became a detective as one of my alias, being a detective has a lot of things that are useful. For example, who would expect a thief to be a detective? Second, being a detective gives me lots of chances to get mixed up with the BO and the other organization. Third, if I get my name known more....well, I don't know, but I'm sure fame would be handy for something.

A bonus is that I get to help people. Kaito KID's 'No one gets hurt' rule is something I truly follow, believe, and respect. Its one of the reasons I accepted Chikage's request. That and this is sort of a repayment to Toichii-sensei I guess. After all he was like a second father, and the one who taught me a lot about magic and fast hands.

I looked around the room we were all waiting in for our 'last supper'. I already know whats going on really. So does Kuroba-kun who happened to be disguised as Mouri and doing quite a fabulous job. Too bad he's probably going to be found out soon since he doesn't smoke, that is if the detectives here are decent. 

I never met the famous 'Sleeping Kogoro' but the way Kuroba-kun is acting, I'm guessing that he's quite an idiot; makes me wonder how he solved all those genius crimes.

The others are decent, but they are boring. Called cast-asides by me. Then there is the other highschool detective with the hawk, Hakuba Sagaruu. Looks like a arrogant one, but is quite polite; don't know if I would get along with him. I heard that he is one of the main people after Kaito KID, and from the info I gathered, seems like he's suspecting the right person.

That, and he's in Kuroba-kun's class. And what appears to be Kuroba-kun's love interest, Nakamori Aoko's dad is the main inspector of the KID's taskforce. Lady luck has really abandoned Kaito KID there.

Now for the one in the center of my attention at the moment. Conan Edogawa. Interesting kid. Even if I never talked to him. You could say that besides pretending to be a detective (and since I have to pretend to be a detective, I have to always think 'logically' how boring.) I like to trust my instincts. And yes, I do believe that magic exist. I've seen proof, and I can do a little bit with my voice, and how do you explain how my hair changes color? Scientist might say that its 'genes' or something like that, but I don't think so.

Besides, I also have a cousin who is also in Kuroba-kun's class, Koizumi Akako. She's a distant cousin, but we are on good terms, she is sometimes frustrated with me since she can't read me, plus none of her magic works on me, and 'Satan' doesn't like to talk about me apparently.

I don't know why either, and to be honest I don't want to know. And no, I'm not a magic witch freak like Akako. 

Anyway, something about Edogawa-kun is. . . . . bothering me. Mouri-chan has told me in our brief conversation that Conan-kun isn't her blood related brother, and that he is highly intelligent.

He seems to be talking childishly, but I've caught moments where he acts more . . . . mature. I glanced from my seat at the bar to where he was playing poker with Mouri-chan and the other lady detective. That face when he's thinking hard... that's not a face a 7 year old should have.

I smiled wryly. Maybe I look a little into it later. After all research also states that he seems to be known as the 'KID killer' quite an aggressive title for a 'elementary student' if he is one. I don't know, maybe Akako or some other witch could have shrunk him, and maybe he's actually a teenager.

Or maybe, the Black Organization developed a drug that could strip 10 years of your actual age. Wouldn't that be interesting? But I rather not have anyone deal with the Black Organizationa, besides; What are the chances?

I finished the rest of my drink, and licked my top lip. Yes, I am underage and I drink absinthe, if Hakuba see's me now, he's probably going to arrest me. So I mixed up my own batch. And if you want to know, Kuroba-kun drinks underage as well, its not that we want to do it, its kind of part of our disguise? (Trying to make up excuses) Ma, Kuroba-kun is probably better at making wine and cocktails then I am, after all Toichii-san was the one who taught me and probably taught him (I wonder why thought..)

Now slightly bored, I walked over to Mouri-chan and peeked over her shoulder to examine her cards. Hmm. She could win. But their is a card stuck to her Jack. Looks like she didn't notice it thought since she shouted 'I win!' 

But the other decent lady detective, what was her name again? Meh, don't care. Pointed it out. Mouri-chan then peeled the cards apart. 

Their was blood between the cards. Being the great actress I am, I pretended to be surprised and widened my eyes. Mouri-chan let out a small scream, and I instantly winced (putting hands on my ears would be rude) seriously, its just a splash of dried blood, I would be more scared of a dead chopped up body then a splash of blood. 

Nevertheless, the other critics rushed to the scene. Their probably use to this since all detectives are murder magnets. Their is proof, just telling you.

"Oh yes, this place likely wasn't tampered wit much following that incident, right?" Mogi said with a slight smirk, what is their to be amused about, detectives? Mouri-chan looked awfully frightened. I sighed, still bored. 

Lets see, as Kimiko Sayuri, the famous detective, besides that being my real name, I still act. I like to describe my character as a stoic calm genius girl who is sometimes a serious sadist and somewhat insane and looks evil for some reason. What can I say, I can't show my true personality to anyone, the more people know, the more its dangerous. It reminded me of Sharon Vineyard's favorite quote, I met her before with Toichii-sensei, and I am aware that she is Vermouth. 

'A secret makes a women, a women.'  I smirked lightly as if laughing, at the thought, I don't know what Vermouth is planning, but I know that she is slightly different from the rest, despite what all the stupid logic leads to. 

I felt a tug on my dress and looked down (A/N: Oh yeah, in case you were wondering, Sayuri was wearing a long greenish light turquoise dress with her hair in a bun and with drop diamond earrings. She looked quite elegant.)

It was Edogawa Conan. "Sayuri-nee-chan, why were you laughing?" He said in a childish voice and a curious look. Heh... he noticed my smirk while the others didn't, he also seems to be keeping a eye on me... I wonder why. For some reason, that thought made me very amused. I knelt down to his eye level, "Well, nee-chan just thought of something....amusing." I saw a flash in his eyes as if he wasn't believing me. But he kept his facade on, "What is it? Tell me! Tell me!" He bounced up and down childishly. Yep, something is definitely off about this kid, its like he's pretending to be childish and innocent. And most children actually don't act like that. 

I smiled then held a elegant finger near my mouth, "A secret makes a women, a women...." I saw his eyes widened and a flash of shock and maybe a hint of fear was quickly seen by me. I mentally raised an eyebrow in amusement and curiosity. 

He quickly calmed himself down, and looked back up with a smile and asked childishly again, "Sayuri-N-Nee chan, your dress is pretty long, isn't it hard to walk in?" Mouri-chan came over, "Yes, I was wondering that too, not that it looks bad. It actually looks quite elegant, but how can you walk in it Kimiko-chan?" 

I smiled politely with a emotionless face. In the corner of my eyes, I could see Edogawa-kun looking relieved. I turned my attention back to Mouri-chan. "Walking in a dress isn't hard with lots of practice. The practice also helps you maintain great balance and stability." Actually this is from thief training.

Mouri-san looked quite fascinated while Edogawa-kun was eyeing me, not knowing that I was well aware of that while talking to Mouri-chan, I have great instincts, that and I am great at multitasking. All things that help me be a thief. (or a returning one at least)

Suddenly the door opening spooking Ran-san (she insisted me calling her that, and now she calls me Sayuri-chan for some reason) The maid came in and bowed, saying that our 'last supper was ready' and that her master was expecting us. 

"So we finally get to meet this guy, huh?" Mogi stated with another one of those Detective smirks. "I'm looking forward to it." Fumiyo-san said with a detective smile. 'I really don't think you do.' I thought mentally. 

We began walking through the long halls. I was walking at the back slowly because of my dress. I could feel Edogawa-kun glancing back every now and then back at me. He was eyeing my dress. I caught his eye on his 5th glance and smiled a innocent close eyed smile, his eyes narrowed and he turned back. 

I knew he won't glance again since he now knows that I am aware of him eyeing my dress.

After his back was turned, my bangs shadowed my eyes. There is definitely something up with that kid. I don't know for sure, but he seems to think that my dress is suspicious. And he is right. My reason for a long dress was the hide stuff under it, like smoke bombs, paint balls, card guns, cards, roller skates, throwing ninja stars, fake blood.... Well, Toichii-sensei taught me how to put a lot of things in a small amount of space, and how to conceal that their there. But this kid has caught on. 

I sighed, and straightened my back to walk more elegantly. It seems like tonight will be. . . . interesting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope and think that the next chapter will be out soon. Forgive me that this chapter took so long to write and update.

P.S. I think I did pretty good on my French project (or lady luck can fail me and something unexpected could happen) ANYWAY, I hope no more big projects pop up because its seriously ruining my rhythm with life.

P.P.S I love Detective conan. Oh, and I planning (if time) to upload another fanfic about Detective Conan but its an OC traveling into the anime.
