Chapter 20 - The Choice...and the END.

‎...

‎"What does it say Akiyama-san?" Conan asked when he saw Akiyama bite her lips after reading an article.

‎Akiyama sighed, "the man had already confessed but it was one hell of a confession...he said Luna was dating someone and she betrayed her fans. I can't believe this, how dare he!"

‎"But did Luna-san really dated anyone? I thought she was single since aside from work she's always with Ai-chan?" Ran asked.

‎"Yeah...I contacted the police earlier and they said that the man angrily shouted that he was right since the man came and saved Luna...and the one who did was Amuro-san. But the company asked them to keep this fact a secret", Akiyama explained.

‎"...so it was just a misunderstanding?" Ran sadly said.

‎"Well, I wouldn't say it is", Akiyama said, Conan and Ran looked at her. She sighed, "I think you guys already know this, or noticed it at some point but Luna...she loves Amuro-san. They have known each other for three years...they met when Amuro-san was in a very bad state. He looked dead even when he was standing right there. Luna took care of him, and it was one of the few moments where I saw her happy. They depended on each other, to the point of knowing what the other wanted without spoken words. It was a very fascinating relationship, too perfect to be broken."

‎"Then why didn't she confess to him? I'm sure she had a chance." Ran said.

‎"I'm actually not sure about that, I pushed her to confess several times but she didn't. It's not that she doesn't want to, it was more like she can't. I don't really understand it, but something was blocking her feelings", Akiyama added.

‎Conan looked at Amuro Toru who was leaning near the operation room. His face was dark, Conan couldn't figure out what was going on inside his head.

‎Conan thought that maybe the reason Luna couldn't face her own feelings was the fact that they were enemies.

‎After 20 minutes the doctor finally came out.

‎"We already neutralize the poison, but she still needs rest to recover, and don't forget to continue her medicine", the doctor said, everyone sighed in relief.

‎...

‎It has been 3 days since the stalker attack...Luna continued to rest at the hospital. She was already better but the doctor said that she should stay for 2 more days for monitoring.

‎Akiyama didn't budge and cleared her schedule for 2 days, she didn't let Luna argue back.

‎"Ai...how's school?" Luna asked. "It's fine...", Haibara answered, the other kids continued eating the cake baked by Amuro.

‎They visited her everyday since her admission. Luna who was so focused on Ai enjoyed every day at the hospital because Ai always visited her.

‎"Oh, right. I also think that Luna became happier when that brown bobbed kid came, I wonder why...", Akiyama said to Conan and Ran beside her.

‎...

‎"Aren't you going to talk to her?" Conan asked, he went out of the room when everyone started playing a game.

‎"Why would I? She's an enemy...a member of the organization, even hailed as its princess...", Amuro said as he took the drink out of the vending machine.

‎"Yet you saved her...you chose her despite her identity...", Conan said to him before leaving him behind.

‎...

‎Everyone already left, Amuro Toru decided to come back to the room. He opened the door but no one was there.

‎He panicked, he was...afraid. He ran outside and looked everywhere, his final destination turned out to be the rooftop. He opened the door and saw Luna at the end of the rooftop, she was sitting at the bench while looking at the city.

‎Amuro breathed out the air he didn't know he held. He caught his breath and calmed himself down before heading her way.

‎"What are you doing? It will be cold in a while...you'll finally get discharged in two days...don't go prolonging it by having a cold...", he coldly said.

‎Luna giggled, "your voice sounds cold as always...but tired and relieved. You must've run here. Your actions defies what you're saying...Toru. And who cares? If I get sick, if the doctor said that I would need to stay here for a few more days, why not? It's my business...not yours."

‎"What did you just say? Then suit yourself," Amuro said angrily and started walking away.

‎Amuro opened the door of the rooftop, he was about to go down when Luna spoke again, "Amuro Toru...Bourbon...Zero..., no--Furuya Rei...I love you...", she said.

‎Amuro stopped. She once again heard Fujimine Aine's voice, but this wasn't an imitation. He himself was aware that no one knew Aine's last words.

‎Amuro Toru, no...Furuya Rei punched the wall, Conan's words echoed inside his head, that he chose her despite learning the truth, his eyes were full of anger, bitterness, sadness...

‎...And love.

THE END.
