A/N: This is my first time writing with dialogue, so sorry if it sounds a bit weird. Last time I was having trouble with the periods, but I think I've figured it out now, sorry for the way it turned out in the last fic!

Edward… who?

When Kaito walked into the classroom one morning, he was surprised to find Aoko and a group of girls squealing and giggling together. Intrigued, he moved to his desk, closer to where the girls were gathered around, and caught a few snippets of their conversation.

"Gentleman…handsome… talented…"

Kaito grinned. Being the boy he was, immediately thought that they were talking about his alter ego, Kaitou Kid. Kid was, after all, known to be a gentleman- he had his ways with the ladies- and he knew that he had been blessed to be quite pleasing to the eye. And he was a magician, something he was very proud of. A thought suddenly occurred to Kaito; Aoko hated Kid- she would never talk about him in that way. Confused, Kaito shifted so that he could hear them more clearly.

"Skin that sparkled in the sun…run as fast as the wind… smooth velvet voice…"

Kaito frowned. He knew his 'Kid' voice was quite charismatic (if he may say so himself), but he never ran- he had his hang glider- and he was certain that what sparkled in the moonlight were the gems he acquired, not his skin… Come to think of it, whose skin actually sparkles in the sun? Certainly not Kid, he only came out at night anyway…

"I know, isn't Edward just the most perfect guy? The bronze hair, the honey-coloured eyes…" Keiko sighed as all the other girls nodded in agreement.

Edward. So they weren't talking about Kid after all. It was Keiko's reaction however, that surprised Kaito. She had always been a major Kid fan, and now some guy called Edward comes along and she forgets all about Kid? Kaito shook his head sadly and muttered under his breath, "Girls…"

**

Wherever Kaito went during next few days at school, he would always seem to hear Edward's name pop up. It was always Edward this, Edward that. He'd even overheard some girls saying that they wished they had their own Edward. Kaito had seen Hakuba looking slightly irritated as well, and decided to ask him what he thought of this new found cause of attention for the entire female population of Ekoda High. He didn't think that maybe Hakuba was looking irritated because the thief had once again escaped with the jewel from the heist a few nights ago…

"So… Who is this Edward guy that everyone is talking about?" Kaito asked.

Hakuba shrugged. "I wouldn't know… but they'll probably get over it soon. You know, girls and their phases."

Kaito walked away, feeling slightly distressed. Who was this Edward, who had managed to capture the hearts of all the girls in the school so suddenly? And what about Kid? Had they forgotten all about Kaitou Kid, the internationally wanted thief who had crowds of girls screaming in adoration for him during his heists?

**

Walking home with Aoko that afternoon, Kaito finally decided to ask who this mysterious guy was.

"Ne Aoko, who's this Edward that everyone's talking about?" Kaito asked nonchalantly.

"You noticed?" Aoko asked, grinning at Kaito.

"It's kinda hard not to notice. Everyone keeps going Edward this… Edward that…" Kaito replied, with a hint of something in his voice.

Aoko detected the emotion in Kaito's voice, and began to laugh. "Kaito… you're not… jealous of him… are you?"

"Baka! Me? Of course not! Why would I be jealous of him?" Kaito retorted, as he struggled to keep poker face from slipping off in surprise. Was he actually jealous of this guy?

Aoko smiled knowingly at Kaito, dug a book out of her schoolbag and gave it to Kaito, who took it with a very confused expression on his face. He looked at the cover; Twilight, it read, with pale hands holding an apple.

"You want me to read this book?" Kaito asked Aoko quizzically. "What does reading this book have to do with anything?"

"Just read it." Aoko said with a smile as they arrived at her house. "See you tomorrow Kaito!"

**

When he got home, Kaito took the book out and flipped to the back to read the blurb, and as he read the second sentence, his eyes widened in both recognition and disbelief. So this was it? This was why he had been in a bit of a bad mood (yes, only a bit) for the past few days? All this time, he had been comparing himself with a fictional character? A vampire too, by what the blurb had described. Chuckling to himself, he opened the book to start reading. After all, it never hurt to see what your competition was like, even if they weren't real.

**

"What do you think of Edward?" Aoko asked Kaito with a smile on their way to school the next morning. It was so cute to see Kaito getting all worked up, over a guy that wasn't even real. Much as she liked Edward, there was someone else she'd began to have feelings for for awhile now; someone who she thought was just as perfect as Edward was, maybe even better…but she wasn't going to say anything, she was happy with the way their friendship was.

Kaito smirked. "He's alright I guess, if the type of guy you like is blood-thirsty and can't come out in the sun." Funny, he'd thought when reading the book last night. It was as if they had taken Pandora, and became immortal. But no, they were vampires, he was just thinking about his night job too much…

Aoko stuck her tongue out at him and laughed. "You were jealous of him though, weren't you? You thought that you weren't the most popular guy in the school anymore."

Kaito just grinned at her. He would never admit it, but this Edward character did seem pretty much the perfect guy- no wonder the girls at school were so obsessed. The book itself wasn't too bad either; the strength of the characters' relationship really was something. Different to other books that he had read.

And as Kaito continued on his way to school with his best friend, he hopes that maybe one day, he too, will be able to have that kind of relationship with Aoko.


A/N: The bit with Hakuba was a bit random, but I stuck him in there anyway. Being half British, Hakuba probably would've heard of Twilight before, so he just went along and pretended he didn't know who Edward was. The ending is bad I know, but I couldn't really think of one. *shifts eyes* As always reviews would be greatly appreciated! ^^
