Prompt: Shin'ichi + Seiji (volume 7), something serious/sweet
Summary: Shin'ichi gets away for a while
Fic: Lunar Eclipse

When Shin'ichi was fourteen he got his first taste of freedom. Instead of hanging around while his parents ducked fans and dodged editors, he decided to get away for a while himself. Whith this in mind, he packed for a week and caught a boat to a place called Tsukikage Island.

Once he'd stashed his suitcase in his room, Shin'ichi decided to poke around a bit, see what he could learn. When he reached the deck he was stopped by a rather androgynous looking girl. "Excuse me, do you have the time?"

"Three fifteen," Shin'ichi replied with a glance at his watch.

"Oh thank God," the girl said, smiling in relief. "I'm going to meet the mayor at five and I was afraid I was going to be late."

Shin'ichi nodded, processing the information. "You're going to meet the mayor?"

"Yes. I just got out of med school and was hoping to get a job on the island. I heard that they don't have many doctors and usually have to go to the mainland for treatments."

"A noble ambition." Shin'ichi quirked a smile.

The girl smiled back. "I'm glad you think so, mister..."

"Kudo Shin'ichi, detective," he supplied. "Though I'm a little young yet to be called 'mister'. And you are, doctor?"

"Asai Narumi. It's a pleasure." Narumi's eyes twinkled. "You can call me 'Narumi' if you like. So what brings you to the island?"

Shin'ichi shrugged. "I wanted to get away for a while. Tsukikage seemed like a nice enough place to go."

"Mm. So it does."

They passed the rest of the boat ride in idle chatter, swapping forensic knowledge and stories. When the boat docked, Shin'ichi glanced sidelong at Narumi. "Mind if I tag along with you? I don't have to be at my hotel until ten and it would be nice to spend time with someone I know while I'm here."

Narumi smiled brightly. "Not at all. I'd be delighted to have you along, Shin'ichi-kun."

Their first stop was the community center where Narumi met with the mayor. Shin'ichi waited outisde with his luggage while they talked. He was startled by the shout of "Asou Seiji?!" from inside, but refrained from entering. He listened carefully, though, and made out a thud, as if something heavy had hit the floor. Still he did not enter. Then piano music started and Shin'ichi could restrain his curiosity no longer; he opened the door and looked inside.

In the room where they had been meeting, Narumi sat on a bench playing Moonlight Sonata, tears running down her cheeks. On the floor beside the piano lay the body of the man Shin'ichi could only assume was the mayor, eyes open and hand clutching at his heart. Narumi looked up when Shin'ichi entered the room. "He's dead," she choked out, voice cracking on the second word. "He started having problems when he realized I was--I was..." She broke off and sobbed. Shin'ichi took her in his arms and murmured soothingly.

"He--killed my father," Narumi whispered with a hiccup. "Him and four other men. And all because he wanted to do the right thing!"

"It's okay, Narumi-san," Shin'ichi said helplessly, rubbing her back. "It'll all be okay soon."

"No it's not!" Narumi looked up at Shin'ichi, her eyes swolen from crying and cheeks tearstained and grimy. "My name's not really Asai Narumi. It's Asou Seiji, and I'm really a boy."

Shin'ichikissed the teartracks on his face. "It's okay," he reassured Seiji, "I like you either way."

Unable to hold onto his composure any longer, Seiji clung to the younger man and allowed himself to cry.

Okay, I was pretty lax with my notes for this one, so please forgive any mistakes I made. Also, apologies for lateness, but this just didn't want to be written. *wince*


Fandom: Detective Conan/Hellsing crossover
For: [livejournal.com profile] phantom_kaito
Prompt: Vampire-Hakuba fic
Summary: Hakuba's triumphant return to England does not go as smoothly as he would like.
Fic: Blood Donation

When the Kaitou Kid retired, Hakuba didn't linger in Japan. It was a sad truth, but with the Kid no longer in action, none of the other cases were really as challenging as the ones in Englad. He left Ekoda feeling unfulfilled, his dream of capturing the elusive thief never realized.

Hakuba burried himself in police work when he returned to England, trying to distract himself from the acute loneliness he felt since leaving Japan. Soon he became caught up in a strange serial murderer case, whose victims were left bloodless in alleyways beside churches. The press called the killer a vampire, but Hakuba didn't believe a word of it. There obviously had to be some other logical explanation, though he was at a loss for what.

It was only by chance that Hakuba came across the murderer and his next victims. He was taking a vacation in the country and had gotten lost, wandering into an unused alley and choking back shock upon finding a man bent over a shorter woman, lips fastened to her neck. He would have overlooked the two of them as adventurous lovers were it not for the pale corpse laying before them. Gritting his teeth, Hakuba pulled a pistol from his pocket and aimed it at the man. "Hold it right there," he commanded, keeping his voice steady through sheer willpower.

The man looked up at Hakuba, took a long draw, then allowed the woman to collapse at his feet. He licked his lips, eyes glowing oddly. The next thing Hakuba knew, the man was behind him, his breath ghosting over Hakuba's neck. Hakuba swallowed, reaching behind him to dislodge the man, but found his wrist captured. The man chuckled and Hakuba clenched his eyes shut when he felt the points of the man's teeth brush his skin.

The next moment was a blur. One instant he was being held by what he strongly suspected was a vampire, belief or not, the next, a gunshot tore the air, driving through the murderer and out the other side through Hakuba. The man crumpled behind him and Hakuba fell forward, clutching his side. A man in a long red coat with a matching wide-brimmed hat loomed over him. Beside him stood a girl in an old police uniform. "I apologize for this," the man said, his voice smooth and deep, "but he had to be stopped."

Hakuba tried to focus on the girl. His vision was bleary, but he thought he could make out her face. Strangely, she looked a lot like his late cousin, Seras Victoria, who had died some years previous. Perhaps this was the end for him, then, though why he was seeing her was a mystery of itself; they had never been particularly close. "Seras...?"

The girl started. "...Saguru?"

The man glanced down at her. "Do you know this one, Police Girl?"

The Seras look-alike nodded. "Yes; he's my cousin. Do you think... that is, do you think he could be saved?"

The man grinned in a way that made Hakuba very uncomfortable. "That depends. You there, boy. Are you a virgin?"

Eventually, Hakuba got used to the taste of blood.

--End--

Okay, now that was fun. Now, with any luck, I can allow myself to get caught up with the challenges again--though God knows it won't last long ^^a
