Kaito had lived through many generations of people, watching people he knew and loved die right in front of him, people that accepted him for the accidental immortal that he is. He didn't want to be immortal, in fact he didn't want anyone to be, he was only checking the gem to see if it was the right one and it gave him the power of immortality. Seems like they got the legend wrong. If that wasn't bad enough, he was only eighteen when it happened. He'd gone through so many schools it wasn't even funny.

He'd gone to so many schools, in so many different countries that he had become well versed in almost every known language. To sum it up: he was old, and there was nothing he could do but wait, wait for the day when the world needed Kaito Kid to take up his cape once again and stop anyone trying to find a long ago destroyed gem. No one knew he had destroyed it. They all thought that it was lost to the ages. But they were wrong.

When he first found, Kaito was over the moon. He took pride in destroying it, as it made sure that no one would ever get their greedy hands on it. And now he was done. He could live happily with the knowledge that he had indeed destroyed it.
How many years ago was that? One hundred? One thousand? He had lost count ages ago. How many generations of his friends had he seen die?
How many times had he died, only to see himself healed instantaneously before his eyes. Like when he was trampled under-hoof by a horse-and-cart back in 19th century London. Or when he had gotten in bad with some New York gangsters and was sent swimming with the fishes. Thinking, back that's probably what triggered his crippling fear of fishes in the first place.

He wasn't too sure what was scarier, the fact that he almost died or the fact that he didn't. His friend Akako immediately sensed the change. She was the one to tactfully break the news to him. "You're immortal now, and there's nothing you can do about it". At that time, he felt his entire world come crashing down. Him, immortal? But why? How? What would he do? How would he tell everyone? How would they react? Most importantly, what about Shinichi?
He was only eighteen and now he'd be eighteen forever. He would have to watch the love of his life age and die, as Kaito was forever suspended in his youth.

At that time, they had just eloped, running away from their families to be together. Then they were struck apart by Kaito's new found immortality. Did the world just not want them together? He certainly though so at the time. Eventually he told Shinichi and he didn't care. He said that he still loved him and that if he died that he would make sure his reincarnation would find him and love him all over again. And that was exactly what happened. Every fifty to a hundred years a new Shinichi would come back into the world and they would always meet. At first it hurt to watch his loved one die again but he had slowly grow use to it, just excited about the next one that would come. None of the ever had memories about their past selves and he was fine with that.

He didn't care as long as he got to be with them. Soon it had become a family tale that every hundred years a child would be born into the family and would fall in love with the never aging man. It was really funny when one of the reincarnations had told him, the Kudo family had made a myth about him, he was flattered. Every Shinichi had a different name, then again he always changed his name, sometimes taking his father's name.

But it was the time. The time where Shinichi would be reborn and would gain his memories, off all his past life's, where the entire world would have the same people from a thousand years ago. Where Kaito would use his real name and go to school in japan and he would put on his hat and monocle and trick the B.O into thinking that the gem was real. It was a time that Kaito had never thought would happen again.

I found it kind of strange, I had decided to go to school with Akako at Ekoda high school and now here I was standing in front of the door waiting for school to start. I wasn't too sure as to why I had decided to go to school this time, he blamed Shinichi, well the first one. In his promise he had said that he would try to make the rebirth of his spirit be not only called Shinichi but have everyone else come too. After a thousand years I would get to see all of my friends again, so using my best and highly trained poker face I hyped myself up and waited till the teacher called for me.

"Now class I would like to introduce our newest student all the way from America, now he is originally from Japan so his Japanese is fine you don't have to talk English to him, come on in Kaito." so I took my cue and opened the door, I walked over to the front hearing the whispers of students the stares as there gazes looked over me almost trying to examine me. But I took no mind after all I had been to too many school and performed to many magic shows.

I stopped and looked at the class as they all fell silent, waiting.

"Hello, my name is Kaito Kuroba, nice to meet you all and I hope that we all get along." I smile to them all with my award winning performance and feel a strange glare, no scratch that two strange glares looking at me. I wait as the teacher points out a seat at me and go to sit in it. I can feel the glares still but pay no mind, I think that made the people more interested because if I was a normal person then I probably be squirming in my seat franticly looking around for the source. So I sat back and relaxed, answering questions when asked with perfect precision.

Soon lunch came and I was quickly surrounded by all of the class and then some asking me different question about myself, America, coming back to Japan. I answered the questions with ease, not giving away too much information about myself but telling them how I had missed Japan and wanted to come back to my home land. Soon most of the people had left the class room and only a few people were left, a few familiar people. It was almost scary how much they looked alike. Standing a little far back was Ran-san, Akako, Suzuki-san and Aoko all huddled up talking to each other, maybe I should go say hi. I could also see Hakuba with Shinichi both of them were staring at me, talking most likely about me.

So I stood up and walked over to the girls, making sure not to say there first name, well except Akako, I didn't really care if the school knew I knew her.

"Um, hello Suzuki-san, Mori-Chan and Nakamori-san right? Nice to meet you all. " a smile masked on my face, making three flowers appear for the girls.

"Oh, Kuroba-kun I didn't know you knew magic?" Aoko asked, smelling the flower, it was a nice pink rose, for Ran-san I had given her a red rose and Suzuki-san got a yellow rose.

"Ah yes well while I was in America I fell in love with the idea of magic and quickly picked it up." lies, well they didn't know that.

"Why hello Kaito-kun." Akako said as she looked at me sweetly.

"Akako do you know Kuroba-kun?"

"Why yes, I knew him before he left and we could send letters to each other until we both got phones. When he told me he would be coming back I told him about this school and now here he is."

"Why yes it has been far too many years since I have seen you in person." it was true, I haven't seen her for about forty years now.

So I talked with the girls for a bit till class started, I felt the glares on me slowly decrease and knew that the two detectives weren't as worried about me, thought I wouldn't be surprised to be confronted by the two after school. So I sat in class and listened, it was history and I always found it funny how they somehow manage to ruin history so much. That was kind of a problem though, it did mean I had a hard time in history tests, changing answers from real to what they teach.

Soon school ended and everyone left the class room, I slowly packed up my bags and left the room, it wasn't like I was in a rush to get home, or the place I now call home. When I get to the front gate, low and behold there are two detectives looking at me waiting for me to come over to talk to me, guess I made them wait huh, their own fault.

"Hi, need something?" I ask, simple enough question, you would have to be an idiot to not tell that they had a million questions to ask me.

"We just wanted to get to know you better that's all, I'm Kudo Shinichi and this is Suguru Hakuba."

"Well I would introduce myself but you already know who I am, being such great detectives as yourselves."

"How did you…?"

"I have been in Japan for a week now, you two are all over the news and TV so I can't miss it. I didn't think that I would end up in the same class as them but here I am, so shoot what do you want to know? We can talk at my house if you like?"

"Um, sure thanks."

"Sure, well lets go."
