A Mother's Hope
A slim figure hid in the shadows, quietly watching the teenage boy as he bound the wound on his arm. He was half dressed in a white tuxedo, a white top hat sitting on the floor next to him. The bloody jacket had also found a place in the cluttered of this old room, along with the red tie that always accompanied it.
"Dammit." The teenager cursed softly. He reached into his pants pocket and drew out a sparkling ruby that filled the width of his palm. "All that and it's not even what I'm looking for. Damn." He carelessly tossed the billion-dollar ruby to the side, grumbling all the while.
He rose from the floor slowly and walked to the life-sized portrait of Kaitou Kid. Carefully pushing open the hidden door, he cradled his injured arm and headed to his room for a few hours sleep before school the next morning.
Smiling softly, the figure left it's hiding place and approached the Kid's fallen clothing. Kuruba Hikaru gently gathered all the bloody articles and set them aside for disposal. It wouldn't due for the police to find Kid's bloody suit, after all. She buried it in the backyard before returning to her husband's portrait. "He's growing up, Toichi." She whispered fondly, "And he's following right in your footsteps." She sighed softly and pushed the picture open to enter Kid's lair. She searched through the junk scattered around the floor until she found what she was looking for. Moving to the more organized corner of the room, she set the ruby on the desk where her son would find it later. "Let's just hope he gets farther than you did, my love." She smiled softly and left the room once more. "Good night…Toichi. Watch over him."
