[HIATUS] The Scarlet Memories [Detective Conan OC] (English)

Chapter 16

- Miika! Do you hear me ?

- Hm?

I open my eyes slowly, frowning first, blinded by the brightness. Once I get used to the light, I see Akai's slightly worried face. He is now sitting on the same sofa as I and holding me by the shoulders.

- Are you ok ? You suddenly passed out ...

I put my hand on my forehead.

My head hurts...

- I...

Was it really a memory?

Tears come to my eyes and I lower my head.

- I remembered his death ...

- ...Are you ok ?

I'm shaking.

I don't know ... I don't even understand how I feel ...

I can't speak. After a moment, I feel his arms surround me.

- Don't worry. You are not alone.

I slowly nod my head.

- Sorry. I shouldn't have told you who he was so brutally... Before he died, he asked me to protect you... That's why I brought you here.

I can't retain my tears anymore.

- ...Thank you...

He puts his hand on my head.

- You told me after that day that you had another big brother, but I don't know more about him. Do you remember anything else?

I shake my head.

- It's okay, we'll find him one day.

I nod my head.

- Oh, so you finally came down?

I recognize the female voice from earlier. I turn toward her. A woman stands in the entrance to the living room. She is quite tall, has curly brown hair and has large blue eyes.

What a beauty!

- Who... Who are you?

She looks at me with an annoyed face as Akai gets up and picks up the tray I had put on the table.

- Are you telling me that you don't know the great Fujimine Yukiko?

Fujimine Yukiko...?

Akai turns to me with a slight smile.

- The house we are in belongs to her.

He then turns to her.

- Please don't be too hard on her, she has lost her memory.

- Is that so ? Sorry, Miika-chan!

She apologizes by taking a few steps towards me, then stops and stares at me. She then turns to Akai and says teasingly.

- You didn't tell me she was so cute!

He looks at us one by one, slightly surprised, then kindly smiles and answers.

- Please stop saying such nonsense, Yukiko-san.
