SHINICHI POV

It's an early May's morning. The weather is getting hotter and it's a perfect time for the flowers to bloom. Shinichi woke up early this morning, he still have two hours before school starts. He open the window letting the cool air brushes his face.

Shinichi stared at the cherry blossom tree in front of his house and he can hear his mother playing the piano. The melody is smooth just like the wind and it brings comfort to his lonely soul.

Then his mind travels back trough time back to the old memories he had with his father. Kudou Yusaku the mystery novelist a qualified detective famous throughout the world died in a car crash that was unsolved till today.

His family turned upside down just when they received a call from the Beika hospital and when his mother went limp by just answering the phone.

" your father…he's gone" escape from his mother's mouth. How such a simple word like this hurts so deeply? As a detective he never felt this kind feeling before.

Meanwhile Kaitou who is originally cheerful and carefree person hit the most when he heard the news. He had been crying for weeks and worst when they went to the hospital to identified the corpes he lost to his emotion and the poker face he's been proud off slip away. The doctor had to sedate him to prevent him from hurting himself.

How much he's hoping that the hospital called the wrong number. How much he's hoping to see his father's warm smile to greet him early in the morning. Why suddenly all memories about his father mattered so much? Why now only he feel like he needs him? Why? Why now?

Yukiko as a single mother works as an actress once again in order to raised her beloved twins. It's hard at first but now she's among the richest women in Japan. She doesn't need to work anymore. Her money is a lot enough to pay all their necessities.

'sigh' Shinichi continue watching the flower petals blew away along with the wind. It makes him to think that no matter how beautiful you are there's always the end of your life.

' I wonder is this what the victim's family felt when their love one was murdered. '

He continues listening to the beautiful music played by his mother. Then the memories of his father come back to life. During his and kaitou's birthday, his father gave each one of them a box. It's a very old looking box and only the person who own it can open the box.

Flashback

"come kids, I got a present for you!" Yusaku's voice sounded happy leading his beloved sons to the reading room.

Shinichi walk slowly following his father."ooh come on dad,I'm sixteen I don't need birthday present anymore"

Meanwhile Kaitou who is looking forward for his present keep on asking his father what he's going to get. " tell me dad. Is it the 'thing' that I asked you to buy for me??"

Yusaku turn to faced Kaitou looking confused "ermm,what thing? I don't remember promising you anything"

" what?! But you promise!"

"ok ok don't be mad. Of course I remember I'm your father anyway" yusaku spoke followed by laughter

"geez dad, why do you like to tease me. Why don't you do that on' HIM' once in a while" Kaitou said loudly so that Shinichi can hear him

"ooh sorry to interrupt but the 'HIM' you're talking about has a name. It's Shinichi in case you forget" Shinichi replied gloomily at his twin brother

" stop it both of you. Today is a special day you should be happy together and not fighting! I wonder what's it like when both of you are still in your mother's womb. It might be hard for her" Yusaku gave an angry look to his sons. " now open up your present and be nice. No more fighting or both of you can't participate in any other crime scene investigations" said Yusaku handing the present to Shinichi and Kaitou.

Kaitou immediately open the present he got from his father " it won't bother me anyway. I'm not really interested in crime scene"

"one more word Kaitou I'm sure I'll prohibit you from doing any magic practices for one whole year"

Kaitou immediately keep his mouth shut. Not doing any magic for one whole year will kill him! 'I'm a magician, not doing any magic my life will be meaningless'. After Kaitou unwrapped his present he can see a weird box and the body of the box looks like puzzle to him plus there's no key whole to open it. " okay, this is so not what I'm asking you to buy dad. But what's with the puzzle on top of the box? How am I going to open it"

Shinichi also received the same box. Looking confused he started to ask his dad " urm dad, how to open this box?" for the first time in his life he's agreed with Kaitou.

Yusaku smile looking at his son's confused faces. Then he positioned his spectacle ready to explain "The box you holding is a very special box of mine when I was at your age. The box was designed by your grandfather as a gift to me" He paused for a while waiting for his sons reactions. Seeing his sons face that urge him to continue

"well go on" shinichi and kaitou said together

"okay, in order for you to open the box is you have to solve the code until one of the puzzle in the middle manage to go out from the box. To make it simple it is just like playing rush hour where you need to move the car around until the red car manage to go out. And when you manage to solve the code the left side of the box will reveal a key hole. Plus I'm not going to tell you how to solve it since you two are so clever."

" Nah, this is easy. It won't take a very long time for me to open it" said kaitou with his stupid grin all over his face

Shinichi who felt sick looking at his younger twins face immediately shifted himself as far away as possible from kaitou and reply to his brother " well go on if you think that you're so clever as you said"

Kaitou eyed another replica of himself " well of course, I bet that you the so CALLED modern Sherlock Holmes can open it too since you got a pea brain"

Heard his twins teasing shinichi eyed his brother too. This eye to eye contact remained for a several minutes until he spoke " since I got a pea brain how about the speck of dust brain of yours will work against me!" challenged shinichi

" Hah you challenge me?! Don't make me laugh! Your brain is nothing compared to mine! I'll be-

Kaitou was interrupted when he sense a dark aura behind him. He turn himself slowly only to find that his mother was standing with her vein popped out her head " errr..he..he.."kaitou said 'kuso, I'm screwed!'

Taking a very deep breath Yukiko start yelling at her children for being a weird twins " twins aren't supposed to fight like this!! You Kaitou stopped calling your big brother PEA brain and you Shinichi stop making an argument!!! If heard any pea brain or dust something you all going to be grounded for sure.!finally you Kudo Yusaku you should have done something to stop your children from fighting not reading one of your novel! She finishi her speech with just one breath

Suddenly the dark aura started to change 3 pairs of eyes stared at Yukiko. " neeee, shin-chan,,kai-chan how was my angry act just now??? Is it good? I do hope that it looks more natural" she chirped happily hugging her sons.

"mom stop hugging me!" Kaitou said

"yeah mom for once stop hugging me whenever you see us" said shinichi solemnly

While Yusaku "Yukiko I think you should stop hugging them or they die from lack of oxygen"

But plainly inside theis mind ' DANG I really thought that she was mad at us! I almost died out of shock!'
