Magic Kaito X Mysterious Joker

A/N: This is my very first fanfiction ever! I just wanted to make a connection between Kaitou Kid and Kaitou Joker, because Mysterious Joker seriously seems to be inspired by Detective Conan/Magic Kaito (similar main thief suits, certain familiar detectives, etc) and I personally would love to see a meeting between these two characters (Kaito and Jack). So, here I go!

On this upcoming Saturday,

I shall liberate the yellow Tiffany

From the depths of her cell

-Kaitou Kid

This Saturday,

I'll be stealing the Tiffany Diamond

From the Suzuki Corporation

-Kaitou Joker

~The Morning of the Day Before the Heist~

On Joker's side...

"Hosshi, get down from there," Hatchi said irritably. "Joker-san doesn't want you to mess with his treasures!"

After a brief tussle with the pseudo-cat, in which Hosshi bounced around the kitchen and knocked some jewelry onto the floor, Hatchi managed to lure the strange creature down with a bag of konpeito.

Hatchi let out a sigh. "Hosshi, you really need to keep out of Joker-san's things! One of these days, he might act on his threats!" Hosshi, being the adorable, ignorant cat-like creature he was, just kept eating his konpeito happily.

Releasing another sigh, Hatchi turned on the TV to see if UNN was active at the moment. To his luck, the show was currently airing.

"Hello, this is Underworld Network News," the show began, "Your announcer is me, DJ Peacock! It has been announced that there will be a showdown between two phantom thieves next Saturday. Their target is the Suzuki Corporation's yellow Tiffany Diamond." The announcer barely paused to suck in a breath of air.

Peacock's tone gained more excitement as he continued, "What's more is that one of the competitors is the world traveling Kaitou Joker who currently has a bounty on his head. And what's even more is that the domestic, but no less popular, Kaitou Kid is also after the treasure. This development is too heart pounding and stimulating to believe!"

"Joker-san," Hatchi, being the great kaitou assistant he was, yelled, "Terrible news!"

"What, Hatchi," came a sleepy reply.

"Another thief has also targeted the Tiffany Diamond! " Hatchi said in a panic.

Jack yawned and casually said, "So? It's not like he's going to win. I'm too great a thief to lose."

"But Joker-san,"

"There's no way he can beat me. I'm Kaitou Joker, a miracle maker! No one can get the treasure before me," Jack stated as if it was a fact.

"What about King?" Hatchi reminded him.

"Well, besides him."

"And Queen?"

"Yeah, besides her too."

"And Shadow, and your master, and-"

"Alright, alright, with a few exceptions, no one gets the treasure before me," Jack admitted reluctantly. "Who is the thief that thinks he can challenge me?"

Hatchi quickly dragged Jack in front of the TV. "His name is Kaitou Kid, according to UNN."

"Huh? Another kaitou?" Jack asked before DJ Peacock began speaking.

"I'll say this again once more: Kaitou Joker and Kaitou Kid are going to face off for the Tiffany Diamond this Saturday! All of our viewers at home know that Joker is an infamous world wanted thief, but not many know Kaitou Kid, since he mainly steals in Japan. Kid considers himself a magician as well as phantom thief, so he just might survive competing against Joker! Who will win in this destined showdown? This development is too-"

Jack pressed the power button before Peacock could finish his catch phrase. "A magician, huh?"

On Kid's side...

Kuroba Kaito yawned as he sat in his desk, opening his phone to see if Kid's heist note had been typed up yet.

"Nani!?" Kaito's exclamation caught the attention of one Nakamori Aoko, who walked towards her troublesome friend to see what he was up to this time.

"What is it now Kaito?" Aoko asked exasperatedly.

"Ahoko! Nothing's wrong," he said as he continued to read the article titled, "Kaitou Kid vs Kaitou Joker: Who Will Win?"

Aoko's cheeks flushed with rage. "Bakaito! I was just wondering if you were okay!"

Kaito rolled his eyes. "Yeah, more like hoping I don't try to see what color your panties are," he said before returning his eyes to the screen.

"Kaito! You-" Aoko clenched her fists threateningly, only for Kaito to suddenly stand up and face her with a charming smile.

"Now, now Aoko," he said in a soothing voice while turning his phone into a flower, "don't get so angry! Your cheeks will only get redder if you continue like this."

Aoko accepted the flower, embarrassment replacing anger. "Kaito? Ugh! Do whatever you want," she said quickly and turned away to talk with Keiko.

Having successfully diverted Aoko's attention, Kaito poofed his phone back into existence and began reading once more.

Both heist notes were posted on the website, along with a small paragraph of information on each phantom thief below. Kaito chuckled at Kid's description, obviously written by a Kid fan, if the reference to "Kid-sama" was any indication.

However, he quickly moved on to Kaitou Joker's description for information on his new "opponent". It seems that Joker, a self-proclaimed miracle maker, had been stealing around the world with an assistant named Hatchi.

"He is quite talented," Hakuba Saguru said while stepping up behind Kaito so silently that he nearly had a heart attack. "Although he hasn't been active as long as Kid purportedly has, he's stolen more gold and gems from higher security than you ever could, Kuroba."

"Huh? What are going on about now Hakuba," Kaito asked innocently.

"I'm talking about Kaitou Joker of course," Hakuba said in a high-handed tone, "I just thought our resident thief could use more information on his new rival."

Kaito sighed, "For the last time, Hakuba, I'm not Kaitou Kid!"

Hakuba smirked, "Whatever you say, Kuroba, just try not to loose like you did last time."

"What incident could you be speaking about, Hakuba-kun," Akako's silky voice cut into their conversation.

Hakuba's focus was instantly diverted. "Oh, I was just explaining to Kuroba here that he isn't the biggest fish in the sea."

"Hoh? Well, don't let me stop you from warning Kuroba-kun," Akako said in a sickly sweet tone before sauntering away. Kaito suppressed a shiver. Why did Akako even butt into their conversation if she had nothing to add?

Thankfully, the interruption wasted enough time for the bell to ring. Hakuba was dissuaded from continuing his talk with him when the teacher told them to take their seats.

Kaito relaxed as the detective walked away from his desk, then grinned at the thought of a challenge. Things were sure to get interesting this heist.

And so began the contest between Kaitou Joker and Kaitou Kid.
