Of Dusk and Dawn
This is probably my wackiest thought yet, but: what if Kaito Kid and Shinichi was the same person (and Kaito was missing entirely)? Anything goes in the world of fanfics, so I'll try to do it as best as I can! I just hope that no one's done this plot already...
'Dusk' is Kid, 'Dawn' is Shinichi.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters. The name is a reference to 'Of Fire and Water', a fic by Nechangi.
Shinichi was staring at the newest piece the museum had to offer: Pandora.
"You can get a closer look at it, meitantei Kudo Shinichi," a voice told him, even though it didn't seem like Shinichi wanted to get a better look of the red gem. The guard, who had been standing behind Shinichi, produced a key and opened the case with a click. Shinichi gingerly picked up Pandora…
…and a sudden change came over his face. "Thanks!" he called over his shoulder as he ran off, gem in hand.

Huh? What's going on? Why am I running from the guard…with Pandora in my hands?!
Shinichi was talking, but no words came out of his mouth. His voice was echoing around in his head instead of coming out as speech.
Whoever or whatever had hijacked his body was still running, and Shinichi could feel the exhilaration and adrenaline of running emanating from them - from him. The Kudo mansion was in sight, and 'Shinichi' entered the gate, police sprinting in pursuit of 'him'.
"He's the thief!" came a call from the guard who'd trusted him enough to let him touch Pandora.
Wait a second…if I touched Pandora, then all these weird things started happening, then Pandora must be the cause of this! Shinichi deduced. A gem has somehow taken control of me!

Once he was safely inside the house, 'Shinichi' rummaged through some old things from a family friend and found the thing he was looking for – the white costume that had previously been Toichi Kuroba's. The one that was a homage to Arsene Lupin.
"The Kaito Kid is here!" he exclaimed cheerfully, as he donned the suit, hat and cape for the first time.
The Kaito Kid? I believe I've heard of him before...Oh yeah. He's the one that found Pandora in the first place!
"Dusk and dawn will chase each other to the ends of the earth, but they will never meet," he recited. That message was from the last calling card of the Kaito Kid, so why was he the Kid now?
