Detective Conan Kir
By: FunahoMisaki
(A/N: I own nothing and I'm actually a pretty big fan of Kir, aka Rena Mizunashi, aka Hidemi Hondou, so I thought of something when rewatching Phantom of Baker Street. That 'Cocoon' was a big enough development to warrant TV coverage, so what would happen if Shindler let one of the announcers have a game badge to go inside of the game with a camera to catch video footage of it? What if it had been Rena? AU OOC some bashing to be expected)
"Ah! Isn't that the famous news announcer Rena-san?" Sonoko asked catching sight of a woman in a business suit talking into a microphone nearby as she faced a camera. Of course the news anchor looked up at the sound of her name and caught sight of Kogoro and the kids just in time for Moroboshi and his gang to make a remark about them not belonging here.
"Why you snobby-" Genta looked angry as he towered over the other kids only for Conan to throw his hand out to stop the bigger boy.
"Easy Genta! They aren't worth it. Calm down before we get in trouble." Conan said causing the large boy to huff slightly but back down without a fight as Moroboshi and his gang ran off to play soccer and Ai began to give a small speech about how a son will grow up to be like his father.
"Well? How was it? I want to be a news announcer when I grow up!" Ai asked giving a childish smile up at the adults and making Rena smile slightly and walk over.
"Well if you can look that professional while giving speeches like that then I'd say I'm going to have a cute little new announcer for a coworker in a few years." Rena said smiling brightly at the children who all but two looked up at her surprised.
"Ah! You really are Mizunashi Rena-san! I didn't expect to see someone famous here!" Ayumi said looking amazed as she stared up at Rena who smiled brightly in return.
"Ah I'm not really that famous. But it's nice to know that I have such cute little fans." Rena said looking at the children while the cameraman noticed something else and turned away.
"Man those kids sure are making a big scene with that ball." The cameraman said videotaping Moroboshi and the others playing football in the room even though they were hurting the other guests.
"Talk about rude." Sonoko said glaring at the other kids only for her eyes to widen when one boy kicked the ball over his friends head in their direction.
"Wat-" Kogoro was about to intercept the rapidly approaching ball while Rena talked with the kids a little, only for her eyes to sharpen as she twisted around and caught the ball with her bare hand less than an inch from her face.
"Woah…" Even Moroboshi looked shocked at how she had managed to catch the ball like that with one hand and no visible effort.
"You should be more careful and considerate of the people around you. You can seriously hurt someone one day playing like that in an enclosed space like this." Rena said and she smiled politely at the boys but there seemed to be something off about it. This smile was dangerous. Conan stared at her for a moment in disbelief. Reflexes like those and such a dangerous smile…they didn't seem to fit the womans personality.
"R-Right." Kikukawa said stammering slightly and looking a bit scared from the smile she was giving them as she handed them the ball back.
"Woah. I knew you had fast reflexes Rena-san but that was awesome." The camera man said having caught every second of that and making Rena look embarrassed.
"Ne? Onee-san? Can I try something?" Conan asked looking up at Rena who looked at him and her face visibly softened.
"Sure Boya, what is it?" Rena asked smiling softly down at Conan who reached up and took her hand in his much smaller one. Her eyes widened a bit but she reflexively held his smaller hand in hers in a gentle grip.
"You know some martial arts don't you?" Conan asked after holding her hand for only a few seconds and causing Rena to look surprised as she stared down at him but didn't move her hand.
"What makes you say that Conan?" Ran asked looking at Conan confused while he released Rena's hand and looked at everyone.
"The callouses on her hand. While her hands are soft like Sonoko-nee-chan, they also have callouses in several spots like Ran-nee-chans do. Ran-nee-chan knows karate but Sonoko-nee-chan doesn't know any martial arts except for a few basics that Ran-nee taught her. Considering her fast reflex time and the callouses on her hand then I can guess that she knows some martial arts like karate or judo, but neither one directly matches with her build and the muscle tone you can see on her arms and legs. So my guess is she knows a mix of martial arts but might not be a master at any one." Conan said making everyone look surprised at that.
"As expected of someone who lives with a famous detective. You're right on the money boya. I know a decent amount of several styles of martial arts but I never really became a master at any of them. I just learned them for self-defense when I was younger." Rena said smiling at Conan who just smiled slightly and put his hands behind his head.
"As expected of Conan." Ayumi said looking impressed but proud of Conan who just shrugged a bit.
"Can you teach me that Conan? It looks like it could be useful." Mitsuhiko asked making Conan nod his head.
"Sure. It's not too hard to learn." Conan said making Genta snort.
"This coming from the boy who speaks fluent English." Genta said making the other kids nod in agreement.
"English isn't that hard to understand and speak." Haibara said giving the other kids a bored look and making them roll their eyes.
"You grew up in America Ai. You don't count." Ayumi said giving her friend a flat look.
"Boya if it's not too hard, can you teach me that trick as well? It seems like it could be very useful." Rena asked smiling at Conan who blinked but nodded his head.
"Sure." Conan said although he was a bit confused by why she would need that kind of trick or why it would be useful to her.
"Thank you boya." Rena said making Conan blink up at her.
"Hey nee-san?" Conan asked furrowing his brow as he looked up at her curiously as she moved to walk away.
"Yes boya?" Rena asked turning back to him while the cameraman went back towards Yusaku Kudo.
"Ah nevermind. It's nothing." Conan said earning a look from Rena for a long moment before she smiled and gently ran her fingers through his hair.
"You can ask or tell me what it is later little one. I'll be around so come and find me whenever you like." Rena said her fingers gentle as she ran them through his hair softly, careful not to pull his hair or yank it by accident when she got her fingers caught in any knots in his hair.
"Y-yeah." Conan said surprised and blinking up at her as she gave a gentle smile and ran her fingers through his hair for another moment or two before she left to try and get an interview with Yusaku or Professor Hakase.
"Ah you're Rena-san. I saw you being kind to a certain someone." Hakase said when Rena approached the two men and causing her to blink surprised.
"You were quite nice to him. After the Cocoon's launch I'd be happy to give you an exclusive interview and answer any questions." Hakase said making Rena look amazed and then look grateful while the surrounding reporters were jealous and glaring at her.
"Ah! Thank you very much!" Rena said and making him chuckle as he walked off and she noticed as he approached little Conan who looked completely at ease with the famous and rich inventor.
"The boya…" Rena murmured as she watched Conan and Hakase interact while her cameraman was focused on the famous Kudo in attendance.
That little boy was so at ease with the inventor? And…he had seen her being nice to Conan-kun so is that why he was going to give her an exclusive interview after everything was said and done? Simply because she had felt her heart soften at the sight of a small boy who reminded her of her brother and had been kind to him?
Hm. There was something about that boy…
She resolved to keep her eye on him in the future.
