Scene 1: Rewind 18 years
Toichi leaned back on his palms, admiring the way Tokyo sparkled at night from atop a roof. He sighed happily, completely content with the world.
That was how Jii found him. Sitting cross-legged on the very edge of the roof overlooking the twinkling city below him, an all around happy aura about him.
"Master?" He approached cautiously, knowing the vivacious young theif all too well.
"Ah, Jii!" He seemed pleased to see him, "Care for a toast?" Toichi pulled a champagne glass from seemingly nowhere, three-quarters full of the bubbling golden liquid and handed it to him. Jii accepted the glass with a look of curiosity. "A toast to what, may I ask?"
Toichi grinned, "To family."
Jii nodded dully, "...Right, family."
They clinked glasses and both took a sip, Toichi chuckled at Jii's still clueless expression.
"She's pregnant."
"Oh," was all Jii could think to say.
Toichi sat back down by the edge of the roof, feet dangling over in a careless manner, Jii sat next to him. "You'll look after him if anything happens to me, right?"
Jii was hesitant. Both men knew what a dangerous game he was playing. "Of course master."
"You'll make sure he's healthy and my wife has enough money for them both?"
"Of course."
"And promise me one thing?"
"Anything you ask."
"Don't let him make the same mistakes I made."
Silence. Jii sighed, "...I'll try my best, Master."
Toichi smiled and leaned back, looking up into night sky, "Only one more thing."
"Yes?"
"Call him Little Master."
Jii grinned, knowing there had to be a second meaning to this, "Why, may I ask?"
" 'Cause if he's anything like me, it'll annoy the hell outta him."
A/N: I dunno where this came from, but there's not enough Toichi fics here. Was inspired from the first file of Magic Kaito, where Jii tells Kaito that his dad was Kid and then says, "I'm sorry I told him your secret" or something like that.
