22. The End (1/2)

hi guys! thanks for all the support and reviews and stuff... but... i'm sorry. i just don't have the motivation to continue anymore. each and every chapter takes too long and i kind of don't really know where to go with the story.

that said, this chapter is actually all that i have written... and then a summary of things i wanted to happen but didn't get to. not very detailed, i know, but it tells the story to the end... kinda.

yes, you can adopt, rewrite, or redo this fic if you want!

i've lost my inspiration, but that doesn't mean youhave. just, uh, inform me and i'll put a name and link to my profile. if you don't want me to you can ignore that or just tell me.

more than one of you can adopt, rewrite or redo!

and please credit me for the parts i wrote and the idea of marie (whose name can be changed). then again, it's not the end of the world if you forget... or 'forget'.

chapter twenty-one

the end

days went by, cases went by, and marie was balancing change this and look out visions and her life.

it was sometimes disconcerting to get flashes of the future and find yourself sitting in a classroom or, one memorable time, jumping after a football. that was one of the only times she let a ball get past her. conan had laughed as the detective boys cheered. it had been fun.

after the aso seiji incident there had come many more change this murders. something like a relief, really. it was… hard to watch things happen even as you tried to change them. exhausting too. last time had been during a miss reika's birthday party that turned into a horror story. like many other times when they spent time at a mansion.

which of course meant that now conan had a light cold, marie had a cold, and hattori was coming to visit.

they were moving closer and closer to the time to save haibara ai… well, miyano shiho at this point. or sherry. the elder kudos had already been called to help save the day. sometime. they had no definite time-frame… and now that they were aware of the timeline literally jumping across the year they had no idea when that would happen. except with counting the cases they stumbled on.

which was marie's job. which meant she knew there were 27 known cases left.

and 19 until conan met kaito. who she still hadn't told him about. she was getting a bit worried about that one in particular.

but right now they were trying to figure out how to handle this case. hattori heiji coming to visit was no laughing matter. should shinichi make an appearance? should he not? what would be the consequences?

marie tried probing her vision sense. sometimes that worked and sometimes it didn't.

this time it didn't. they were flying blind. she sighed softly and let herself fall against conan's shoulder. he took her hand in reassurance. she didn't like this plan. not at all. conan in that much pain would be agonizing to watch and hear. still, he'd manage. they had already contacted agasa hakase regarding the whole thing and it would be marie's job to get some blood samples.

she tugged at her long hair, highly aware of the needle in her pocket and what she would do with it. that crash course on how to draw blood thrummed in her head and she worried.

hopefully it would all turn out fine.
