Unexpected Visits

Ryu Edogawa

I woke up earlier that usual as I hard the birds chirping from outside. I quickly get up from my bed lazily in my shrunken body, but with different face. I literally forgot to take the antidote just before I went to sleep yesterday.

So, I stretched my body and grunted loudly because wanted Lisa to wake up to but, as soon as I knocked on her door, I received no response. I was legitly panic so I grabes the keys and unlock the door. It turned out that she was out already.

Then, I went to the kitchen, preparing myself some delicious western style breakfast. I sighed as I looked at the toast breads with a blank stare.

"If only Professor Agasa is here, I must've control his daily meals for his healthiness... I wonder if he's eating well", I said as I chewed the bread.

Then, I walked to the sink and and do the dishes. When I decided to take a bath, I checked on my phone for a short minute and I received emails from Lisa... lot of them

Ryu-kun I went out earlier today because I'm doing some work again. So, here's the thing... There'll be a member of the organization visiting our apartment. Make sure that you act as if you don't know what I'm working on. Act as if we're just ordinary roommates.... Thank you for your help, please please please take your antidote... they'll be there in anytime soon. Lastly, please delete this email and don't reply anything... Take Care Ryu-kun.

Lisa Nomura.

"Huh?! One of the member?!! Oh shoot!!", I shockingly grunted and ran as fast as I could to my room to consume the antidote.

Again, I had to go through the pain... The pain that I hate the most. The pain that would remind me of.... Kudo-kun. I wouldn't take this antidote every single night, if it wasn't because of him. I went through this pain for him meanwhile, he endures this pain for someone else... *sighed*

"Arghhhh!!!!!!", I yelled as my body started to transform to its normal form. I could feel that the clothes I wore last night fitted my body.

"Hue!!", I said as the pain fade away.

"Who's inside???? Is everything okay???", I heard someone was yelling from outside of the door. I supposed that it was our neighbour. But, the voice sounded so panic that he knocked on the door continuously.

"Everything is alright!", I replied as I ran with just my pyjamas towards the door to inform the guy.

Once I opened the door..... I saw....

"Amuro-san? What the hell is he doing here?", I whispered to myself.

"Oh... I'm sorry to bother you.. I heard someone was screaming", Amuro stated as he didn't recognise me with this mask I put on.

"Birds... Ermm... They entered my room, so I was shocked", I stuttered and my eyes were wide open ever since Amuro appeared in my sight.

"May I know your name?", asked Amuro while he scratched his head with a smirk drawn on his face.

"Ryu......", I answered as short as possible.

But he locked his eyes on me, waiting for me to say my full name.

I creased my forehead and I spontaneously stated, "Edogawa......"

"Ryu Edogawa???", he questioned as if he was shocked hearing my fake last name. He then, stroked his chin curiously....

"Ehemmm!! And what's yours?", I purposely asked for his name even if I already knew it to wake him up from his deep thought.

"Amuro Tooru...", he answered with a suspicious smile.

"You can come in... I'll make you some coffee...", I invited him to get inside the house.

He then, sat on the couch at the living room and he tapped his fingers on the couch while his eyes were wilding observing inside the house.

I knew that he might be searching for Lisa, which as far as he knew was supposed to be named as Baileys.

"How did you know that I am Japanese???", I asked to him and crossed my arms.

"The name written on the address was 'Lisa Nomura'.. That name sounds Japanese to me... And you replied in Japanese too.. So, I didn't hesitate to assume that.. You are a Japanese", Amuro replied.

I went to the kitchen for a while and make some coffee for him. When I walked outside while I brought the tray, Amuro was gone...

"Amuro-san???!", I yelled his name panicly. Then, I shut my mouth and I scanned my surroundings because I was afraid that Amuro would attempt to secretly attack me...

"Hrm... yes?", I heard a guy's voice coming from behind me.

"Tch... Amuro-san... What did you do?", I asked and I served the coffee on the table for him. He approached and chuckled at me.

"I went to the toilet", replied Amuro and he sat on the couch back.

"Wait... How did you know that the toilet is that way?", I asked confusedly.

"Lisa Nomura is a friend of mine... of course I've been here before...", Amuro giggled looking at how clueless I was at the moment.

"Ryu Edogawa-san... You really remind me of someone....", Amuro continued giggling.

"Haha... ok.. funny", I said emotionlessly mocking Amuro.

"For your information, Lisa is my friend since high school.... She's into law ever since then... So she decided to become a lawyer", Amuro explained.

I nodded my head even if I already knew everything about Lisa except whether Amuro knows that Lisa is actually Baileys or not.

"Anyways, Edogawa-san... Do you have any siblings or.... relatives who live in Japan?", asked Amuro curiously.

"Ugh.... He must be thinking that I might be related to Conan... Why did I choose this name???!", I sighed as I remembered the day when lisa asked me about my fake last name.... 'Edogawa' quickly came in my mind....

I shook my head and lowered down my head. "Erhmmm.... No", I replied shortly.

"Your relatives??? Or are you using your husband's last name???", asked that guy again teasingly.

"NO... OF COURSE NOT.... I don't know anyone who's related to me", I answered.
