To Have Everything
Beauty is power. Love is power. Magic is power. And I will always have power. It is a part of me, so deep it can never be completely taken away. I already have everything, so why can't I have more? My name is Koisumi Akako. I am a witch. All men are my slaves. At least, all but one. And he will always stand in my way on my quest to gain more power.
What is it about him that makes him immune to my power? He is a magician, but cannot use real magic. Just cheap tricks and smoke--that's what he calls "magic." Could it be because he's also Kaitou Kid? Magnificent Kid. Enchanting Kid. The phantom thief that haunts my dreams.
Or could it be because he already has someone else?
Every day the boys at my school bow before my feet, but I often wonder…"Do they really love me? Or are they just attracted to my beauty and power? Will any of them ever care for me the way he does for her?"
It makes no sense. I have everything. Everything! Why does he prefer her to me? What does she have that I don't? I've tried to capture him, to enslave him with my sorcery. Why won't it work!? It just makes no sense…
Why have power when I cannot have all of it? Is there anything more important than power? No; of course not. At least, that's what I believed before I met him. Because when that flower appeared in my hand, as if by magic I felt something light up within me. I cannot explain it. It is unexplainable. But it's still there.
I feel so protective about him, even though I know he doesn't love me. I've risked so much to save his stupid hide; mocking my dignity, my pride, my power. Yet it all seems worthwhile for that little smile of gratitude he gives me in the end. Have I lost my mind!?
I have everything…don't I? I've never had a friend. I don't even know what friendship means. But I know that I don't have it. Perhaps it's a different kind of power.
I can try, and I'll keep trying. I tell myself, "He will be mine!!" but deep down I know it won't be so. I thought I had everything. I thought I had power. But if magic can't make my wish come true, what can?
