I want to upload stuff that are not important, not fancy, and maybe remind myself I can upload my brain half-formed ideas oneday without haing to worry about them being polished.
for today here is a kitty
It was another day in the Poirot Cafe, this time the employees had a helping hand in the form of a shrunken teen detective.
Amuro Tooru and Azusa Enomoto were tasked with the duty to keep an eye on one grounded Conan Edogawa, as both Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri were out of town for a couple of days during the holidays. One for an adultery case and the other for an extensive training camp.
The reason for grounding? Getting in the way of a case and pissing off the client with his queries.
“ How can Hattori-keiji handle this? I’d have slapped her ages ago, such a pushover!“
That was a common comment to hear when a certain cherry blond child of about 11 years old shows up around Beika police station.
“Aren’t you exaggerating? I’m sure it’s just because Hattori is so good with kids”
Hakuba Saguru, who otherwise would be adamant to say a single positive thing about his Osakan counterpart, can’t help but admit to himself that Hattori is being unjustly criticized by a lot of people for an otherwise rather admirable trait he himself admits of envying him for.
One-shot WIP / Prompt , if you like take and link back, would love to read a proper fic over this theme ^_^

“What kind of Drunk is Mouri ?”
It was becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the matter any longer. It was so apparent, so clear, so obvious that something was wrong with the young detective, that he was hiding something from everyone.The fact that he's doing it so well, that not even his guardians noticed, is frightening enough. But everyone slips, and so he did. The concealing make up he had under his eyes was done in a hurry or else it wouldn't have been noticed... And that wasn't the first time, it seems...
the police detectives -Satou, Takagi, Shiratori, and the Nagano's officer Kansuke ( there due to work circumstances) and the rest of Beika's police- were celebrating the end of yet another big case, withOUT the help of any private detectives, or there wards when the fore mentioned people came in view.
The Mouri's family entered the restaurant the officers where eating in, as Megure caught site of them he invited the trio to share the celebration with the rest of them, even though there were some mumbled complains ( some suspiciously sounding as though saying '' Not the death god!'') wither or not he heard them or not he didn't react to them and instead rushed the private detective and two children to sit.
Kogoro Mouri sat next to Megure-keibu, Ran in between Satou and Conan, Conan in between the girl and Kansuke. While Takagi on the other side of Satou and next to Shiratori , who was facing Conan, with Chiba right next to him.
The two females didn't waste any time to get engrossed in whatever topic they started, neither did Megure and Mouri -San. Conan started with polite greetings and questioned Kansuke on his presence here. Since the case was already done and over with, there would be no harm in telling the boy about the case. Takagi heard Kansuke ask the little boy what sort of a drunk was Kogoro. The question was lost on the rest of his colleagues due to all the noise, thus no one noticed the question being asked. Though he did find it peculiar, and wondered what could have brought upon such a topic. As he replayed their previous conversation , it didn't seem to connect. Noting it down in his mind to ask Kansuke about it later, he settled to listen to the rest of the conversation without much apparent interest to the outside world
Conan seemed just as much surprised by the question but answered either ways, saying "A hugger, he tends to hug anything around him, especially the tv if it had Yoko on. Why do you ask?''
" it's just that we were in the topic of drunkards before you guys joined" ' such a smooth lie ' Takagi thought but it was so smooth that Conan didn't question it, Instead he just started another topic and got even Shiratori - who was drinking silently- and Takagi into it.
Not too far into the night Ran excused herself and Conan back home, not without a few light hearted complains from the little boy before surrendering to the elder sister's wishes.
The moment those two where out of ear shot and making sure that Kogoro was too drunk or engaged with whatever he was doing, Takagi jumped the one eyed inspector by interrogating him.
L
"What was that about drunks? we never opened that topic."
" Huh? What are you talking about? " Shiratori questioned. Takagi briefly answered with what he heard of the twos conversation as he continued staring at Kansuke.
he sighed "and here I thought no one was paying attention..." Kansuke went silent for awhile as he eyed Takagi and the other three he managed to catch the attention of "... He had concealing make up on..." He then left the statements hanging for each to decipher .
".... ARE YOU IMPLYING hmpph !!!!!" Takagi quickly covered Satou's mouth in a desperate attempt to shush her before the man (under suspicion) caught wind of their conversation. He quickly looked over and was very pleased that everyone barely gave them a look but quickly dismissed them and each returned to whatever they were doing, including Kogoro Mouri .
When Satou calmed considerably down, she settled backing here seat - though on the edge of it- and as slowly as her contained rage would allow her she removed her partner's hand. And repeated the disrupted question in a voice barely above a whisper still coated in fury. "Are you implying that Mouri-san is 'abusing' Conan??!!! Are you out of your mind??!"
" it was in need of clearing, and the man is a drunkard, can you deny that?"
" I've seen a drunk Mouri many times, he tends to be more of a hugging fiend and drooling on everything quite embarrassing and humiliating rather than abusing or harmful in any way." Chiba said
" that’s what he said, and he seemed quite genuinely confused by the question, it doesn't seem as though he was lying... But then what was that for, then?"
"Maybe you're just over thinking it and its in fact just kids play?" Satou said harshly.
" And here I thought you guys knew the boy better than me. Is he the type to do such things? Plus, the make up wasn't done properly, under the right angle of the light you can see the hint of bluish discoloration of the skin under his eye... What do you have to say to that?"
"Still it may still be something other than abuse, you shouldn't jump quickly to such conclusions. They have quite the heavy implications. He is a child, maybe it's the aftermath of one of the games with the other kids". Shiratori suggested
"If it is as you say then why did he hide it?" Kansuke quickly replied
"... True.. But it could be of an event he didn't want Ran to know of"
"Still I've got a strong hunch that there is something more to it, this needs more investigation." And his unspoken Invitation for the rest of the officers was not unheard.
///Page break///
This investigation included being as descreet as possible, for the target is 'the' Conan, deceiving him would be on par with mission impossible, hiding it would be just as tricky.
The first step would be to see him at home or any other place where he would have his guard down and maybe even wouldn't be alerted by their appearance. Thus, Takagi and Kanusuke stopped by the agency. The Excuse? ask Mouri's opinion on some small fry case. Hoping against all hope that the boy would buy it.
What a surprise it was to the two that ended up the next day spending more than 3 hours listening to Mouri's 'dump conclusion' -Kansuke's wording - without any hint of the little midget anywhere, even though it was at such a relatevely late hour to prevent any possibility of the boy playing outside with the other kids.
Kansuke's patience, reaching its limit he forcibly cut off the man in the middle of another speculation and asked Ran, who was serving their third round of coffee and refilling the snacks, where the boy was.
"Conan is sleeping over at Agasa Hakase's house, it seems like there is a new game Hakase's developing, and he wanted Conan to try it out for any glitch. Why? Did you want anything from him?"
"Not at all, I was just wondering since I don't see him around. Will then its time for us to take our leave" the ever straightforward and rash Nagano's inspector was already up and out the door.
Takagi quickly stood up to follow but not without a polite goodbye instead of his rude colleague. When he managed to catch up to the limping man, he scolded him lightly for the rude exit, he didn't even allow Mouri to continue his talk!
"Where are you going? That's not the way to the car" the older man may have a limp, but even with it, he still managed faster strides than Takagi.
"The professor is the fat old man ,right ? You have up to whatever time it takes us to reach his home for you to come up with an excuse as to why we're ' visiting'. Start now! "
" At this rate, we'll have all the time in the world. Do you even know where to go? You're going the opposite way!"
“……” a silent pause was probably the closest Kansuke could ever get to embarrassed. “ You lead, then, and try to come up with a good excuse.. A Perfect excuse... A perfectly flawless excuse" The tanned man halted in his steps to allow the younger one to lead.
" Ok ok I get it . Though I 'm more surprised you know that he's in the neighborhood... Or know Agasa Hakase at all"
" Our first meeting was picking the old man and his grandchild up as they were hitchhiking while on our way to Mouri from Nagano. He told us where to drop him then."
"G..grandchild??? Who? As far as I know he had never been married"
" What do you mean? Then who was that cherry blond haired brat with icy cold glare?" Kansuke glared confused at Takagi's back
"Cherry blond? " Takagi was blank for a moment "Ooooh! You mean Haibara-san? She's not his grandchild, she’s the closest to Conan among any of the children … Or adults, beside Heiji-kun !" The younger one said with a little mirth for catching the other's misunderstanding.
"Then how does she relate to the old man to live with him?"
"Oh, that's because she's his......... She is his....." Takagi who started the sentence with all his confidence of a person who knows everything about the Mouri's, Conan and anyone around them, was halted in his thoughts in order to actually think about it rather than just saying it out of memory, only to find that there is something he doesn't know, namely Haibara's relation with the old professor "uhm, I... I don't know..."
Kansuke stared at the Beika's officer " on the same note, I was wondering how come Conan's last name is Edogawa and not Mouri? More like why does the kid call him uncle?"
"Woah! Hold it there, Conan is NOT Mouri's son! He is Shinichi Kudou's relative, he is only staying at the Mouri's house for some reasons."
"Shinichi Kudou? The famous teenage detective?"
"I see even Nagano has heard of him"
"Then again, what are those reason that would cause his parents to leave him here alone in an other's care, a drunkard nevertheless, again , how come his last name is not Kudou?"
"The reasons I'm not so sure about, but he is not a Kudou either, he is Shinichi's cousin from his mother"
"Still, his mother's name is Fujimine, not Edogawa"
"....." Takagi just stared at Kansuke wide eyed for even knowing what Yukiko's maiden name is.
“What? Stop staring , she is one great actress"
"Oh, a fan huh?"
"What's with that look? Never mind, I hope you came up with a believable lie to why we're here. Isn't this it? The Kudou's mansion?"
" Ah, yes the professor's house is that weird one right next to it. You must be quite the fan, eh~" Takagi teased him one last time before they ringed the bell.
Since they were mentally preparing for the old man to answer, it took them a sec to register that the one who opened the door was shorter and below their eyesight and finally looked down. Haibara Ai wasn't in her best form, considering that she was glaring at them in a tired manner, that is more frustrated than angry.
She heaved quite a heavy sigh and just glared at them in waiting, not even offering any greetings or words for that matter. Her demeanor took them by surprise, but Takagi who is considered to be the more detective boys expert easily brushed her impolite attitude and jumped right to the question with disregard to any cover up story. "We'd like to speak with Conan, heard he was here?"
She sighed again "what did he do now? I'm pretty sure it's a tad too late for a police report" the weary Girl leaned heavily on the half opened door still showing no sign of letting them in, making it a bit too obvious that they are quite unwelcomed.
"Is he not here?" Well, Takagi never said it was easy dealing with this little one .
" Maybe yes , maybe not, maybe I don't know~ " she sing songed
" Haibara just .. Just let us in first ? It's not a professional look standing at the door " a frustrated Takagi begged , more worried for his colleague's explosive temperament.
"Which translates ‘Get us in before the neighbors think we're pedophils ' Shall I scream pervs?" She smiled condescendingly at them
" JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION Goddammit ! " there was no holding the Nagano back now
" PERVERTS HEEEELP !!!!! " she screamed at the top of her lungs before slamming the door shut in their faces . Perfectly timed with the passage of two body builders from the neighborhood.
"Uh no that's not what sh- " The two were hard pressed to avoid the coming onslaught of professional punches and kicks.
It wasn't easy but eventually, after a badge show and a threat from the one eyed man's cane , they were hard pressed to leave them be .
Before Takagi inquired about their next step. The short tempered man was already abusing the door bell while pounding his cane against the door . " COME OUT HERE RIGHT NOW YOU BRAT!!”
The door slowly opened after 10 or so seconds, to their surprise , a sleepy Conan yawning whom looked to have just gotten out of bed . 'Odd , it was sunset , too early to sleep too late to nap "
" 'are'? Yamato-keiji , Takagi-keiji , what brings you here , something wrong? Why so noisy " Followed by another yawn.
" Ah , sorry Conan-kun , taking a nap at this hour ? Haibara-San just wouldn't let us in " the kinder tanned man crouched downwards to be at a closer eye level with the child
"Haibara did ? " he stiffly turned back to look inside the house , the door now at least somewhat opened , they could see the blond child sitting relaxed flipping through a fashion magazine. At the mention of her name she looked up at them , giving them a blank look first before smirking going back to her magazine.
" The Fuck ?! "
" excuse her , She's just being .... Herself ... More than usual tonight "
He opened the door and further "Come in " he gestured
Still not fully appeased but calmed down enough, the limping man huffed as he entered asking " the old man isn't here ? " quick to noticing the lack of an adult from the house's wide entryway.
"The professor? He ... Is out grocery shopping ..? " he said uncertain looking at the only other occupant for confirmation.
" Restocking " she simply said without raising her head
"Was there something you needed from him? "
"No , actually we were looking for you " Takagi quickly cut in, his excuse ready to be used finally, he just hoped it turns out genuine enough to not be poked at.
As the two were walked to a couch , Conan gave the blond a glare with a hushed ' be nice and get them something ' As to be expected from her , she got off her seat with an attitude as she through her magazine to Kansuke's face , stomping her way towards the American styled kitchen.
The long haired man tried his best not to growl , but it just wasn’t in his hands . " What's her problem ? " questioned Takagi silently
" She... She just had suffered a disappointment, that's all "
" Over what ? To make her so anal"
" Yamato-san ! Your language ! " poor Takagi was feeling a headache starting .
" Over a project she had been on for a long time now " Conan smiled, effectively ending all discussion over that topic without giving out anything. Quite the Diplomatic Kansuke mused. " So what brought you here ?"
"Uh right ... Conan-kun I need a favor " the soft hearted man leaned forward , reflexively getting the child to do the same in anticipation, now fully capturing the boy's attention. " I kind of , might have , maybe , didn't write the last case you were involved in well in my report. " he blurted out the last bit in a quick and embarrassed blabber.
The two occupants of the coach were speechlessly shocked at him, before the heartfelt laughter from the kitchen broke their spell , which urged the stifled laughter of the young bespectacled boy turn to full out tear inducing cackling. while his colleague gave him an incredulous look. Are you serious ?! That' what you came up with ??!
" Oh my God! Oh Takagi- keiji , thought you were past these novice mistakes! " They bought that ?!!
"Guess there are somethings that just don't change " Haibara came back with orange juice glasses on a tray , judging by the color and smell , just as Takagi's face flushed red in shame.
" Still doesn't explain why Kansuke- keiji is here too " Conan asked as he wiped tears off his face
" He was meant to drive me back to the headquarters after showing me around a nice restaurant, when he asked to drop by for a quick visit. I didn't expect that though" He huffed , quick to excuse himself before the other man created a crazy humiliating excuse for himself too.
" Well, I would've sneaked out alone but I'm supposed to submit it tonight " Takagi gave a half- panicked smile
" Haha , sure . Which case was it again ?" ... And the two went on about that for awhile .
Meanwhile Haibara left them after setting the cups in front of the three, hands behind her back with a look on her face as though saying 'hopelessly cute' While Kansuke spared her a quick glance Before returning his full attention at the boy of interest , Or to be more specific, his body language , as subtly as he could.
xXx
" And , did you find out anything concrete ? " Satou, Shiratori , Chiba sat waiting their discoveries in an abandoned meeting room being used as a store currently.
" As I said Yamato -San is just over analyzing " Takagi released a frustrated sigh " he was taking a nap , but nothing really "
" Where were you looking ?! YES there was "
" Care to enlighten us then ? " the other three were on the other edge of their seat .
" Sleep deprived, sore back , bruised arm , at least that's what I could observe "
" when did you -"
" you were too absorbed in sounding sincere with that absorb excuse of yours " Kansuke said as he sat back on the couch
"We are not talking about that " the rest gave them inquiring looks , but Takagi held his ground .
" anyways, Yamato-san , are you sure ? " Satou returned the conversation back to their topic.
Yamato took a deep breath before he clarified
" He was napping at an odd hour , too late for an afternoon catnap , too early for bedtime. We made a huge commotion on the door with that little brat that he was unaware of; as well as being just the slightest bit too slow in recognizing us. Not to mention he actually believed your excuse " he pointedly gave Takagi a look. "When turning from the door he did so very rigidly ; and as we sat , he sat with his back straight the entire time, he didn't turn in his place at all.
His T-shirt was well long past the bruise , but there was this one moment when he rubbed his arms , from cold perhaps , that shifted the fabric just enough to catch a glimpse before he readjusted it. And I have a feeling there is more hidden away."

A/N:this one was a story I started writing yeaaarsss ago, but never finished, while going back through my half done stuff, i came across it and it inspired me to try and put it up, now that i finally started posting prompts and headcanons, thought i'd try and throw it out there, in the hopes it poisons one of you creative authors mind and inspire You to write a proper fic over this idea ^_^
since the story was done years ago and dropped. I don't exactly remember what i had in mind for a reason behind the bruises. You can be creative ~
one idea :
All those dangerous acts in every single movie, that none of the cast is aware of.
two:
Our Little Conan gains some of his information, in some not very legal - or safe- ways, like seducing information/underground help out of dangerous people that just so happens to take an unhealthy liking to little boys ..........
yup, that just turned dark... but hey ! i'm here to poison your mind afterall ^_^
A woman that has not been noticed before stepped up.
“And Who might you be?” Asked Nagaono’s Yamamoto -keiji
“As you lot just said, you can’t go out there, those people are professional and definitely know all of your faces.” the woman continued as though she wasn’t interrupted. “ I am your best bet on getting out with minimum casualty” she walked like a panther towards the Minister.
“Ma’am, we can’t just allow a civilian go into danger like that. There is an army of mercenaries out there!” Megure -keibu rushed to dissuade her.
“How prepared are you ?” A small voice sounds out over the inspector’s interjection.
“Very~” replies the woman cooly not missing a beat as she shared a meaningful look with Conan, being held up by Kogoro as the boy had sprained his ankle during a previous escapade from the pre-mentioned mercenaries.
“What is that supposed to mean?” Kyoto’s inspector Ayanokuoji hoped for clarification.
“Then take this!” Conan threw the mystery woman a badge, the Detective Boy’s badge, as she opened the ceiling to floor window fo the room they were hiding in. “ Stay safe!”
And she jumped.
~Whistle~ “Not bad!” Praised Hattori looking down as she landed on a lower level balcony as agile as a cat, while the police force and co were fussing over the dangerous feat “Say bro, can you talk to her and see if she takin’ any apprentices?”
“Heiji! What are you wolf gushing over!” Ran held back Kazuha before she could cause an accidental death via push form a height.
Conan just stared blankly back. “You.. know her?”
All ears at that point were hyper-focused to listen to his answer.
“Dude! I’m insulted! How long have we been best buds? Hell yeah I recognize her, even if this is the first time I see her in action.” As he observed the woman’s antiques downstairs
Kogoro’s eyebrow raised impossibly higher. “ How? “ wondered Conan from his arms, truly astonished.
“Seriously? The way she walks? Talks? Stands?? it’s clear as day, which tree you fell from as they say.”
Quietly, with a volume only Kogoro could here due to approximation, Conan muttered to himself “ Even I can’t tell who she has picked for a face that quickly”
“You said somethin’? “ Heiji looked back at him
“I said, she’ll cry to know it only took you so long to recognize her.” The boy said louder.
From that day on theories of who are the parent’s of the Police Mascot Edogawa Conan kept spiraling out of control.
Some said they were spies for the nation.
Some claim them mercenaries or even assassins.
some even go as far as pointing at the Kaitou Kid to be the boy’s mother.. yup! that apparently had the most votes.
-----------------
a little prompt that i felt like jotting down, in hops SOMEONE might find it interesting enough to adapt and continue, if you do, just a nice mention and link back would be nice ^_^
and excuse my BG sense, it sucks i know, i’m slowly working on it
-----
for Clarificaiton:
the woman is Yukiko Kudo in disguise and our friendly lot of police force and detectives and co found themselves protecting a Minister from some serious assassination attempt.
and Yukiko takes the mystery person act to jump down into some semi- solo stealth action to procure our lovely group a route to safety.
On the other hand, Hattori’s insinuation ingrained the idea that the woman is an acquaintance or even a relative of “Conan Edogawa” some even had the hunch that that bada** unknown woman doing a MGS level of stealth and combat is, in fact, his Mother ( ironically true )
as For Kogoro who ‘HAD’ seen “Conan’s” mother before, was the most convinced of that theory, as he was close enough to hear the boy admit to being unable to recognize the woman, and in turn it reminded him of their first encounter when Conan had turned white as a sheet and refused adamantly to return back with his ‘supposed mother’. Makes sense now, as the boy likely didn’t recognize her at that moment as his mother, but when they returned back it seemed like all was in order.
