Deal

Chapter One: Jealous

It was a bright sunny day, filled with the scent of imminent summer, the sky painted azure, the clouds cottony –

"WHAT?!" an exorbitantly shrill voice yelled, blasting the tranquility apart in one quick move.

The source of the scream was a messy-haired teenage boy named Kuroba Kaito, who, after releasing the aforementioned sound, was panting hard, staring over the café table at his companion in utter shock. The staff and fellow customers of Poirot, the café the two were currently conversing in, all turned to stare.

"Kuroba! Shut the hell up!" his companion, who happened to be a blond, apparently English boy named Hakuba Saguru, snapped, glaring at him. "People are watching!"

Kaito, ignoring him, closed his mouth and relaxed slightly, picking up his coffee cup calmly. Saguru was somewhat disturbed by his sudden serenity and warily watching the other one for a moment.

Setting down his coffee cup with a soft clink, Kaito smiled indulgently at the frowning Englishman. "No."

"What?! Why?!" It was Saguru's turn to nearly shatter the glass windows of Poirot as he jumped to his feet, nearly knocking over his chair. Sensing the gazes of many others, he lowered his voice to a hoarse whisper and leaned over the table menacingly. "Kuroba, I don't even need your approval to date Aoko-kun! I was trying to be polite, but if you're going to –"

Kaito blinked, and in that moment his eyes went from benevolent to near-anger. "Hakuba, you do realize that Aoko is like my sister – no, she is my sister – and there is no way in heaven or hell I'd ever let my sister date a... a person like you."

Saguru sent him a heated glare. He could tell Kuroba wasn't going to change his mind. And if Kuroba didn't change his mind, there would be absolutely no chance of him ever coming within a three mile radius of Nakamori Aoko, lest he want to spend the rest of his days with violet skin and glue-coated hair.

Reflecting on his options, Saguru allowed a smirk to slip over his face as a particularly delightful thought entered his mind. He sat back down carefully, and Kaito stared him down.

"I think you, Kuroba, are jealous of me."

Blinking in shock, comprehending, Kaito did nothing. Then he exploded.

"The hell, Hakuba?!" he shouted (this time the staff and customers didn't even bother looking over).

"You're jealous that I found someone," sang Saguru, grinning madly.

"What's wrong with you, Hakuba? I could get any girl I'd ever want, bastard!" Kaito yelled.

Great. Step 2, Hakuba thought to himself. Outwardly he queried, "Anygirl?"

"Yes," Kaito replied icily.

"Anyone?"

"Um... yes?" answered Kaito, frowning in slight confusion at the implication the Brit was apparently trying to force into his words.

"So... any person?"

"Yes, you idiot! What's your freaking point?!"

Steepling his fingers, Hakuba sneered, "Prove it."

"Ha. No problem." Hailing down a pretty young waitress, Kaito smiled charmingly, and, with a flick of his wrist, produced a white rose out of nowhere for her. She gasped and accepted it, blushing.

"You're Enomoto Azusa-chan, right?" Kaito said, reading off of her nametag and smiling a smile bright enough to rival the sun.

"Y-Yes," she answered, twirling the rose petals through her fingers and blushing further.

Kaito's grin grew. "I'm Kuroba Kaito. You know, you're really pretty, huh, Azusa-chan?"

Immediately, Azusa swooned. "No, no not at all," she fawned, blushing.

"Don't be shy, Azusa-chan!"

"Kuroba-san –"

"Oh please, call me Kaito!"

"I couldn't ever do that, K –"

"Kaito! Kaito Kaito Kaito! You have to say it!" insisted Kaito, a pathetically adorable pout on his face.

Azusa melted. "Kaito..."

"That's right. Can't wait to see you later, Azusa-chan!" Kaito beamed.

"Of c-course," Azusa stammered, walking off with a still-red face.

Turning back to a slightly (though he'd never admit it) awed Saguru, his face turned from bright and sunny back to dark and almost angry. "Told you."

"That was nineteen seconds exactly," commented Saguru.

"So what's your point about me being forever alone or whatever the hell you were saying?"

"I'd like to make a deal with you," Saguru said.

Okay, be careful with the words you use. Don't screw this up.

"If you can get that person –" he motioned over at a nearby table, where a couple was dining – "to fall for you in four days starting today,I will not try to date Aoko-kun. If you fail, then I will be allowed to date Aoko-kun and you cannot interfere."

"Four days?" Kaito said, an eyebrow quirked. "Hakuba, you were present when I wooed Azusa in nineteen seconds, correct?"

"Yes, that is right." Oh Kuroba, you are going to regret this, Hakuba grinned to himself as Kaito smiled dangerously.

"Of course. I accept."

"No backing out now, Kuroba." Mission accomplished!

"That's no problem. Four days," scoffed Kaito. He looked over at the table. "So I just have to get her to –"

"Her?" Saguru wrinkled his eyebrows delicately before clicking his tongue. "No, no, no, you have to get him to fall for you, Kuroba."

"Him?" stated Kaito blankly, before understanding dawned on him. "You bastard," he muttered in a low, tight voice. "What the hell is wrong with your head."

"Kuroba, a deal is a deal after all," Saguru smiled. He glanced over at the table, his smirk growing with every passing moment.

Kaito wanted to sock him quite badly, but his next words caught and held Kaito's attention.

"Also, if you haven't noticed, that couple would be the lovely Mouri Ran –"

Oh God no, it can't be, Kaito thought desperately.

"– and the newly returned Kudou Shinichi."

Wow, my first chapter fic. I feel accomplished now. So far, it's been planned for roughly five chapters, but we'll see. :3

This idea is probably worked to death, but... deal with it. I'm going to try to make sure this turned out ShinKai in the end, though it feels pretty KaiShin at the moment.

Reviews appreciated, flames will be eaten Natsu-style. (God, I've always wanted to say that.)
