Chapter: The fire and the confession

So people!! Now comes the last part! Sorry that this is so short, but the next one is promised 100% longer!

... Meanwhile something unexpected happened. The light wind that surrounded the castle turned into a violent storm. The birthday cake stood by one of the open windows, the candles of which began to flicker violently and ignited a greeting card standing next to it. After a short time the fire had spread over the whole buffet. The guests ran outside screaming. Sonoko and Shiho, who were waiting outside, in front of the front door, ran further away. There they met Shinichi and Heiji. They asked what had happened and why everyone suddenly ran outside. Gasping, Sonoko uttered: “There is a fire in the castle!” “And where are Ran and Kazuha?”, The two asked as if from one mouth. "Oh no! You wanted to wash your hands in the bathroom!" Shiho shouted, horrified, but as soon as she had finished, Shinichi and Heiji had already disappeared into the burning castle.When Ran woke up one morning, she did not find herself in her room. She looked around confused. "Where am I?" Suddenly she noticed that Shinichi was sleeping with his upper body on her legs. Only then did she remember the fire again. She pushed Shinichi aside and crept out of the room. She bumped into Sonoko in the hallway. She hugged her with tears of joy, so that Ran could hardly breathe. "You are finally awake again, Ran! We were so worried!" Only now did she let go of Ran. "Don't get upset, I just slept a little ...", she yawned at her friend, but Sonoko reassured her: "Because of" a little "! You were in the intensive care unit for the last 5 days. We already have Friday! "" 5 days? " Ran asked puzzled. "Yes, and should I tell you something? Shinichi sat by your bed all week and nursed you to health. He even skipped school because of you!(That means something, nerd! Sorry, I love Shinichi, but that's right, isn't it?) I think he blamed himself for not being in the castle at the time the fire started and taking you to safety could. When everyone but you were safe, Heiji and Shinichi ran into the castle again to save you from the fire. You didn't even wait for the fire department. They're just going for it, not even Shiho or I could stop them. We could only hope ... But ... that shows that Shinichi likes you more than just a friend! * grin * "(It's clear ...)" Leave the Sonoko. You'd better tell me what about Kazuha, "Ran wandered off.
"She only had minor injuries! She and Heiji are still in Tokyo because they didn't want to leave until they could be sure that you will get well again," said Sonoko admiringly. "I think they all deserve a big thank you, especially Shinichi. He didn't even leave your side.He himself did without his crime novels (sorry, but that's true! I love You Shinichi ^. ^) And the nurses even had to cook for him so he wouldn't starve to death. "They went to the hospital room and Sonoko explained to Ran why it had hit them worse than Kazuha. When she opened the door, Ran said:" He's no longer there ... "" Then you have to be in next week thank the school. Plus, you'll have to go to bed for the weekend anyway. See you on Monday! ", Sonoko replied and left the room.
On Monday at school:
"Have you already thanked Shinichi?" Frate Sonoko. "I'll do it during the break, the doorbell will ring soon," answered Ran. "Who do you think is teaching us math now?" She wondered. "Last week we had a representative at Ms. Sakata, this week we should get a new teacher," Sonoko replied quickly when a tall, skinny teacher entered the classroom."Good morning, my name is Mr. Nagano. I will be teaching you math from today. Please open your books to page 54. Mori, please solve problem 4 for me," he said to Ran. "Um," Ran began, but was interrupted by Sonoko. "But Mr. Nagano, Ran was at school all last week," she explained. So it went on for a while when he said: “Well, then you can solve this problem for me, Suzuki.” Giving up, she replied: “I can't do it either.” “Well then I have to give you a 6 write it down ... ", he said and pulled a notebook out of his pocket, as ... THING! DONG!
Oh man, he really pissed me off. What a crazy teacher! ", Sonoko sighed as they left the class." It'll be fine, "Ran tried to cheer her up." First of all I'll go to Shinichi to say thank you. ", Ran said goodbye to Sonoko. Sonoko was reading a crime thriller in a corner." Shinichi, "Ran began." Well, I just wanted to say thank you for looking after me while I was on the Intensive care station was.Was nice of you ... Tell me, are you listening to me? ", she asked offended because Shinichi was still reading. She was about to leave when he said briefly:" Today at 3 o'clock in front of the Tokyo Tower. Be punctual. "Embarrassed, she went back to class and sat in her seat. On the way home, she was completely lost in thought.
Exactly at 3 a.m. she appeared at the Tokyo Tower. "HI", Ran said to Shinichi, who was already waiting for them. "Ran, there you are," suddenly came a voice. Only then did she notice that Sonoko, Makoto, Kazuha, Heiji, Shiho and Yamato were also there. "What are you doing here?" Asked Ran, surprised. "Since your birthday ended in disaster, we decided to celebrate it again!" Said Heiji. "That's why we rented the party room in the karaoke bar," added Yamato, and Kazuha urged, "We'd better hurry."
In the karaoke bar:
Let's dance, "suggested Makoto, but Sonoko resisted:" Oh no "" Now go on, "urged Ran and pushed her onto the dance floor.Yamato and Shiho were already dancing, only Shinichi and Heij were once again absorbed in one of their conversations. "Ran," said Kazuha, "I think I have to go now. It's already late and we want to go back to Osaka tomorrow. I still have to pack." "It's a shame that you have to go," sighed Ran. Kazuha only shouted to Heiji "Heiji, don't stay away too long, you have to pack too", and went to the hotel. Now Ran was sitting all alone at the table. She insulted and left the bar as well. Shinichi followed when he noticed that she was going out. "Ran, wait a minute!" He called. She stopped and Shinichi held out her small package. "Here, I wanted to give this to you for your birthday," he said and ran away. Ran was amazed and thought * Am I just imagining it, or was he just turning red? * She opened the package. Inside was a ring. But suddenly a small piece of paper fell out. She picked it up and read: "I have to confess something to you!"Embarrassed, she went to find Shinichi. But she found him neither at home nor with Prof. Agasa. But then she remembered a playground in the park where they had often played together when they were little. Immediately she went there. In the semi-darkness of the lantern she actually found him standing there next to the swing, kicking the football. "Hi Ran", he said and continued to kick. "You idiot!" Ran shouted. "Tell me, are you crazy ?! I was worried about you! I searched the whole district for you! And you stand here calmly and play football?", Ran shouted, crying. "Crybaby!", Shinichi replied only briefly, kicked the ball into the park pond and went to the bridge. Angry Ran went after him and wanted to slam him, but Shinichi caught her hand. "You are wearing the ring," Shinichi said and took her in his arms. He whispered in her ear: "I wanted to confess something to you, Ran .... I LOVE YOU !!!!!" Ran took courage and the two kissed in the light of the full moon ....Comment:
