The young man let out a sigh. The police from headquarters would be here any minute. He pulled the Nichiuri TV cap lower over his eyes with a smile. Honestly, how annoying? This Oikawa had some nerve. Kaito was not amused, why would he steal an unfinished painting anyway? If he was interested in Seiran, surly he would have waited for its completion before making his move.

Kid smirked as three police cruisers pulled up, sirens blaring. Checking for the drug, he moved closer to the mob of reporters surrounding the police cars as the officers tried to get out.

"Let's see…" he had seen all four detectives before, they were the ones always with that brat. He already knew which one he would impersonate. With expert timing, Kaito moved through the crowed until he stood behind the young, male officer.

Takagi couldn't believe how many reporters there were, they were aggressive ones to boot. He did his best to stay close to Satou-san not wanting to get separated. When he felt a hand on his shoulder, Takagi turned around.

He wasn't sure what was wrong but he suddenly felt exhausted, his knees gave out but before he hit the ground he was supported by a blurred figure. Takagi's mind whirled in confusion as something was pushed on his head. His supporter than started to lead him away while pulling a jacket over his shoulders.

Satou-san?

"Move out of the way, this crewman is ill!"

As Kid expected, the reporters in his way moved aside, without paying any further attention to the disguised thief. He pushed past them quickly, while supporting the drugged detective.

Kaito managed to lead the older man to the bag he had prepared, laying him down as fast as he could. He looked back over at the mob. Megure-keibu had made it to the house but the other two officers had hardly made any progress since exiting their cruiser.

Good, he still had plenty of time to swap himself in. He looked down at his victim, not quite unconscious yet. He pulled the man's suit jacket off and then removed his tie.

"I need to borrow these, the ones I have prepared are slightly different. I can't have that female officer noticing."

Takagi looked up at him his lips moving as if he was trying to say something.

"Look, I need you to sit this one out detective, take a brake and let me handle it." As if to comply the young officer finally passed out as Kaito finished disguising himself. Once his look was complete he tucked his twin into the bag and put a mask over his face. The zipper on the body bag was then pulled up and broken just under the man's chin.

Seeing the female cop looking around for her partner, Kaito rushed over to the mob and cleared his throat before calling out to the young woman in his best attempt at her partner's voice.

"I'm here Satou-keiji!" he was a little off, but she wouldn't be able to hear him over the bustling reporters. He reached a hand to her which she took and pulled her out of the crowed and towards himself and the direction of the front doors.

"You alright Satou-keiji?" Kid smirked, he had perfected his voice. The smile dropped from his face when Satou looked back at him strangely. "Y-yes, I'm fine" she answered a little coldly.

Uh oh…I'm doing something wrong. Kaito wracked his brain for his mistake as they made their way to the house. His mind filed through everything he knew about Takagi and Satou.

Oh that's right...

As they finally pushed through the mob and into the house, Kid quickly covered up his error. "Are you sure you're okay Satou-san." This time the haggled looking woman smiled at him.

"Yes, you as well?" she asked while smoothing his hair with her hand. Playing the part Kid blushed and stuttered a response just as the original surly would in this situation. Good thing his blush was visible through the light make up mask.

Kid inwardly smirked as they followed the inspector down the hall.

"I used the incorrect honorific."


Kid sighed with relief; his name had been cleared thanks to the detective brat. He watched as the inspector led Oikawa down the hall before turning to leave. Opening a door, Kid entered a room he had found while searching the house for the painting. He opened the window and looked up at the full moon, such perfect flying conditions. He was about to jump out when he heard a voice call out a name, his current name.

"Takagi-kun, what are you doing in here?" it was Satou. Kid frowned before turning around to face her. "Ah, I just wanted to feel the cool night breeze."

Time was running out, he wouldn't be surprised if Conan was hiding just outside this room. Kid backed up a step as the woman approached him. Kid smirked; this would make for a difficult yet interesting escape.

"Yes, I also was hoping to enjoy the moonlight, though its beauty is nothing compared to yours." Kid's lips curved into a charming smile as he pulled the young woman against him. He enjoyed the astounded look on the cool officer's face.

"Ta-Takagi-kun!" Miwako had never seen him act in such a foreword manner. Her face heated as Takagi wrapped one arm around her waist and moved his hand to the back of her neck. Satou's eyes went wide as he lowered his face to hers.

"Yes, beautiful indeed." Kid had an idea how to escape.

He pressed his lips against hers in one swift movement.

Shinichi walked into the room his shoe already powered up. What he saw almost made him doubt his deduction…almost. Honestly, this guy really has no limits.

"Enjoying the moonlight? No, I think you were about to open your wings and fly out of here. Kaito Kid."

Eyes now closed, Miwako could have sworn she heard Conan's voice. Kid broke the kiss but still held the stunned officer against him. Conan wouldn't be kicking anything at him with her in the way.

"How did you know?"

Miwako was too dazed by Takagi's actions to pay attention to the conversation. She was even more confused when Takagi suddenly pointed a white gun at Conan and fired. Before she could do anything, Takagi released her and pushed her to the side. An instant later smoke filled the room and Satou saw a round object shoot past her.

Ran ran to the window, looking on with Conan as the white glider flew away.

"Kaito Kid! So he was disguised as detective Takagi!"

All at once Miwako understood, her senses returned. Oh…

The disgruntled officer slapped a hand to her face. "We better go tell Megure-keibu." Ran turned to look at the female officer and noticed she was blushing.

"Poor Satou-keiji." She whispered.

"No, more like Poor Takagi." Shinichi thought as they walked out of the room and down the hall. Satou gave Mouri an odd look, he was holding his pants up as they walked out of the house and down the steps.

She noticed a commotion over by one of the Nichiuri TV vans and made her way over. Sure enough Chiba along with a few Nichiuri staff members were trying to pry the zipper open on the bag. Chiba turned around when he heard Satou groan.

"Nakamori, just went off after kid. He flew over just now. The inspector already left with Oikawa." Chiba told her.

Miwako was about to answer when one of the crewmen kneeling behind Chiba managed to tare the zipper all the way down the bag. "I got it!" the man said before moving aside so Miwako could get closer. She nodded her thanks to him.

Satou moved foreword and kneeled beside Takagi's sleeping form. The mask Kid had placed on him had already been removed. She reached her hands around his head and back and pulled him up as Chiba and another Nichiuri crewmen helped pull the bag away.

Kogoro walked over to where his daughter and Conan were standing by the TV van.

"Sheesh, Kid was disguised as Takagi eh?" he said to no one in particular. Kogoro looked over his daughter's shoulder at Takagi who's head was lying in Satou's lap.

"He's completely passed out, didn't even move an inch when we took him out of the bag." Chiba said with a slight hint of humor in his voice.

Satou looked down at her partner and sighed. "Chiba-kun go get one of the cruisers, we can lift him into it."

Chiba reached into one of his pockets and took out a pair of keys. "Be right back."

"Well, let's go Ran, Conan, I'm tired." Kogoro yawned as he walked away toward his rental car.

Conan looked sympathetically at Takagi before saying goodbye to Satou and following Kogoro.

Ran stayed for a moment looking at the unconscious officer with a worried expression.

"Don't worry Ran-chan, he's fine…just heavily drugged." Satou smiled at the young girl.

Ran nodded her understanding but kneeled down so she was closer to Miwako. Satou noticed she seemed nervous about something.

"I know but, do you think he'll be upset when you tell him?" Ran whispered.

Satou looked back down at him, a slightly guilty look on her face.

"I'll make it up to him." Miwako smiled. She honestly hadn't planed to tell him Kid had kissed her. It was embarrassing, she practically, let him escape! Miwako resisted the urge to face palm herself again. A blush crept up on her face:

"I can't believe I thought Takagi was…never mind." Miwako vaguely remembered the kiss, to think she thought she and Takagi had finally managed it, they just didn't have that kind of luck.

"I guess Kid would do anything to escape." Ran said with a slight chuckle. Satou nodded still feeling guilty for being tricked so easily. "You better go Ran-chan, I think your dad wants to leave."

"You're right I better go, bye Satou-keiji." Miwako watched as the young girl walked off into the darkness. It was lucky the full moon was out to provide enough light to do so safely.


By the time Satou pulled up to his apartment it was after one in the morning. Satou parked the cruiser on the curb and turned to the sleeping man beside her.

There was no way she could carry him up to his apartment by herself. She shook him gently and called out his name. She was relieved when he stirred.

Takagi slowly opened his eyes. He was so exhausted and confused. "Takagi-kun, wake up." The young officer turned his head toward his partner.

"Satou-san? What happened?" his words were slightly slurred together.

Miwako couldn't help but smile at the young man fighting to stay conscious; he looked about ready to pass out again.

"I'll tell you tomorrow, let's just get you to your apartment."

Ten minutes later Satou walked over the threshold of his home. They had taken the elevator up; Takagi had practically been draped over her as he was unable to stand on his own. Miwako guided him to his bedroom and lay him down on the bed.

She wasn't sure if he had passed out again or if he was just too tired to do anything. Shaking her head, Miwako pulled off his shoes and socks. She guessed that Kid had taken his jacket and tie since he was no longer wearing them.

She composed herself before quickly unfastening his belt and removing it from his pants. She stood and gazed at his sleeping form. His breathing was slow and calm, his soft brown bangs had fallen over his closed eyes.

She looked at the time on his alarm clock, 1:59. She turned and walked toward the door attempting to leave but stopped before opening it.

"Oh what the hell." Giving into her desire, Miwako threw off her jacket and climbed up on the bed, lying down beside him. I'm sure he won't mind.

She smiled and snuggled close to him, draping an arm over his chest. She'd figure everything out tomorrow.


Expect part two this weekend. An idea just popped into my head when I was re-reading volume 53. This is based off of Crimson Lotus. As I'm sure everyone knows I am obsessed with Takagi and I really thought it was great when Kid used him like a tool. And NO this is not a Kid/Satou fic! The kiss was Kid being Kid, in a way that only he can get away with. That said Kid actually kissing her as part of his escape plan may be a tad OOC, I understand. I just thought it was funny. If you are a Kaito/Aoko fan, please don't be freaked out, Kid isn't crushing on Miwa. LOL!
