A/N: Lovely back again with another story! a Detective Conan/Magic Kaito and Miraculous Ladybug crossover. I got this idea on my little Kaito's birthday~ ;). At first it was just a small little idea to make a jelly Adrien(which btw gives me so much life). But as I thought about it. New ideas popped in my head and soon I found myself writing the ideas out. Even a heist letter for later. Then it morphed into what I'm showing you now.
I might make changes in the future but for now I think I got this...Btw I aged up the characters to match Kaito's age.
Full Summary: "You were chosen! You have a mission to do!" Things are not always what they seem. That's the main theme in every Magician's act. The truth is always covered by the illusion. "You're right...i do have a mission. It's to find Pandora and the people who took my father away from me. That's the only mission for me." And sometimes...the illusion better than the truth. "He will only love the fantasy and not the reality." However, as they say, the truth will set them free. "Show him that the reality is so much better than the fantasy.". "That's an Ironic thing to say, for a trickster.". "I'm no trickster. I'm a magician."
Disclaimer: I do not own Detective Conan/Magic Kaito nor ML.
Chapter 1: Kaito Comes to Town

The small echo of footsteps mixed in with the sounds of the busy Parisian roads. The feet that made the clicking of their shoes belonged to a small Asian teen. He wore a sort of beige, long sleeved jacket over a long sleeved, black and blue(A/N: don't you dare say gold and white) shirt. Along with it, he had on a dark shade of beige pants and brown shoes to top it off. The teen had his hands tucked away in his pant pockets. He stood leaned back, taking in the large building in front of him.
"Ah, so this is what the French refer to as lycée? It's pretty big."
The stranger ran his hand threw his short, brown locks. A mischievous smirk was set on his face.
"I wonder if they'll remember me...hm."
"And that is what Juliet meant by 'Wherefore art thou Romeo?'."
"I always thought she meant Where not Why." A blue haired Chinese girl mumbled to her seat-mate.
Her friend had brown hair that shifted to a red at the ends. She had dark skin, large glasses, and a mole on her forehead. A plaid shirt hung on her body along with denim pants. In her hand, was her phone with the screen on a red page that read the words 'Ladyblog'.
"I know right. Man, Shakespeare's time was really wacked up, if they talked like that."
The Chinese girl gave a weak smile. She had her hair down with a pink ribbon connecting two pieces, from the front, that wrapped around the sides of her head to the back. Her whole outfit had a pink, black and white color scheme. With a black blazer over a white shirt that had pink flowers with black leaves. And a pink skirt that ended above her knees with a white flowers at the edges that circled the skirt. She wore slip on shoes with the outfit.
Her blue eyes twinkled with amusement. "Well you say things like 'wacked up', Alya, and that's weird."
Alya scoffed, "You know what I meant by that, Marinette."
Marinette giggled and opened her mouth to fire something back, but the teacher interrupted her. "Now, I want to introduce you all to someone. He's a transfer student from Japan. I want you all to show him respect."
The women stretched to hand out to the door, "Please welcome Monsieur Kai-"
A puff of pink smoke cut the woman off and shocked the whole class. When the clouds dissipated, standing there was a teen with a proud smirk set on his face. He had short brown hair with beige jacket. Under it was a long sleeved, black and blue shirt. The teen had a hand on his hip, which covered by a darker shade of beige pants, and he had his other raised like he was waving.
He smirked, "Good morni- Ack!" A pink book bag whizzed at his head.
Luckily, he ducked out the way and the backpack slammed into the black board. He let out a chuckle as everyone turned to the person who threw the bag.
Standing up was Marinette. Her bangs casted a dark shadow over her eyes. She had her arm out towards the front of the class with her hand open.
She opened her mouth and spoke in the low, threatening tone, "Kaito." She dragged the name out.
"Hehe...Hey Mari-chan!"
There was the sound of knuckles cracking. Everyone turned to another who suddenly stood. A dark skinned teen who had on a blue shirt with gray and orange headphones around his neck. He had a red cap on that shadowed his eyes as well.
"Well, Well, look who decided to show his face."
"Ah! Nino-kun!..um well." Kaito scratched his head as Nino stalked his way to the newbie.
The class and the teacher watched in shock and pity for the new kid. Nino's seat mate, a photographic and handsome teen with hair colored like goldilocks and eyes like tree tops, stood up, "Nino. I don't think-"
"Relax Adrien, he's just getting what's coming to him." Nino simply stated.
The Dj suddenly grabbed Kaito into a head lock. He nudged the teen's head with his fist.
"Ah! Ah! N-Nino-kun!"
"What? You think you can just leave and not text or call the whole time you're away?! You could've sent a letter, man!"
Marinette made a noise of agreement as she walked down to them. "Not even a quick phone call. You lousy trickster."
She picked up her bag that sat on the wooden floor.
"Oi! I'm not a trickster!" Kaito pushed Nino away and rubbed his head while pouting. His pout turned into a smirk when Marinette looked his way, her eyes brows raised.
Without any warning, he leaned into her and held his hand up. "I'm a magician." At that moment a red rose popped out of his closed hand.
He offered the rose to Marinette, who took it. She gave the magician a small smile while twirling the rose in her finger tips.
"I see your still up to the same tricks, as always." She commented.
"And I see your still as endearing as ever, my Lady." Kaito gave get a small bow.
Marinette froze at the nickname. Only..Chat calls me that...does that mean-?...Nah, chat has blonde hair and green eyes, not brown hair and blue eyes...unless the transformation completely changed him...But that's impossible, Kaito has been out of the country since grade school. There is no way.
"Ah-hem." The teacher cleared her throat.
The three smiles sheepishly at the older woman, "As I was saying, please welcome Monsieur Kaito Kuroba. Although it seems some of you already know him."
The three chuckled before Kaito bowed to the class, "I hope we all can get along!"
The class, not expecting a bow, did not know how to greet him back properly. Marinette saw the confusion and smiled before patting Kaito's back.
"Glad to have you here." She looked at the class, tilting her head towards Kaito.
They seemed to get it, because everyone broke out into agreement. All saying things like: "yeah, glad to have ya.", "hope we can get along as well!", "can you show us another trick?", or "that rose trick was sooo romantic!"
The teacher smiled, "Alright, settle down. Kaito you can sit next the Ivan. Ivan reside your hand."
Ivan was a large boy with a black shirt. He had brown and blonde hair. Blonde in the front and brown every where else. He rose his hand.
"Now for you two, go back to your seats."
"Yes Madame/sensei!" The three spoke in unison.
Marinette and Nino made their way back to their seats with Kaito walking behind them. When they finally sat next to their seat mates. Who each gave them a questioning look that was met with a look that promised to talk later.
Sitting directly behind the pink fashionista, Kaito leaned in and whispered softly with a shit eating smirk on his face.
"White with pink polka dots."
Marinette felt confused until it dawned on her. An angry blush rose in her cheeks. She gritted her teeth and tightened her hand into a fist.
"Ow! You didn't have to hit me that hard, Mari-Chan!" The magician whined, holding a hand to his cheek, which had a red hand print on it.
Marinette walked side by side with her friend. She pouted before snapping back at him.
"It's you're fault you're such a pervert!" She grumbled before adding, "Now I have detention tomorrow because of you."
Kaito gave a her a small smirk, "Aw don't be so blue," a blue rose popped out of his hand as he gave it to her, "it won't be so bad!"
Marinette took the rose and examined it. Awed at the unnatural color. She went to say something back when an awful laugh filled the hair. She recognised it immediately. Chloé.
In front of them was the drama queen herself. She was with her lacky, Sabrina. On their knees infront of them was another girl. The girl had a black sweater with a white music note on it, along with some white shorts. She had short black hair and tan skin. She cradled a pair of broken headphones in her hands. Marinette recognized the victim. That's Evaline, the girl from the class next door.
After analyzing the situation, Marinette stalked over to them and started scolding Chloé. The two got into a heated argument. Kaito has a proud smile on his face at Marinette. He saw the girl still on the ground and went to cheer her up. However, he was stopped by an odd butterfly. It seemed to be heading right towards the girl. The boy's grin morphed into a look of confusion. The oddest thing was that when the creature landed in the broken headphones. It disappeared!
Suddenly, the girls head snapped up and their was a strange shape hovering over her eyes.
"As you wish, Hawkmoth." She muttered but he could barely heard her over the bickering girls.
"What?" He questioned.
Dark bubbles or fog covered the girl's body. Kaito started to back up.
"Uh, Mari-chan?" He was ignored.
The darkness faded away and the girl stood up.
"Marinette..." he was ignored one again.
The girl's eyes locked onto something behind him.
"Marinette!" Finally the designer answered.
Turning around she shouted, "What!?" She got her answer at the sight of the newly transformed girl.
The girl had a white and blue outfit in the place of her old one. It had long, blue sleeves that started after the shoulders and made their way to her wrist. The edges of the sleeves were spiked and at the corners were a treble clef and a base cleft. Each on their own respected sleeves.
She had a cheongsam inspired white top on that extended out past her blue mini skirt. The top had a window that showed her cleavage. Below it, music notes hanged like ornaments on a tree. At her waist was a double belt that held a sword with a treble cleft handle. Her skirt had music notes on 5 lines all around, on the edge of her skirt. Long blue and white laced heeled combat boots at her feet.
Her black hair was colored white like snow. Around her eyes were a transparent blue block glasses that connected to round headphone-like ear covers. From those covers was a small mic from a head set.
The girl took out her sword and pointed it at them. "I am Melodix. Hand me the wicked witch, Chloé, and I'll think about sparring you." She spoke in a condescending sing-song tone.
"This not what I signed up for when I wanted to move back to Paris!" Kaito was pulled by his jacket by Marinette and they booked it down the corridor. Chloé and Sabrina on their heels. The blonde witch was screaming her head off the whole run.
I need to get these three out of here and transform! Marinette tugged Kaito along as she drifted to the left. Behind them, Chloé screeched and then they heard a thud. She forced herself to stop and look back at the fall girl. Melodix was above her, aiming her sword at her throat.
"Did anyone ever tell you that you have a disgusting voice?"
The sword's tip glowed blue before she slashed the fallen girl's throat. The sword left a glowing X on her throat. Out of the X rose a yellow orb. It flew to the sword and into the blade. The blade took on a yellow hue before returning to it's silver color.
Chloé tried to yell but nothing came out. She grabbed her throat and tried to speak but there was no sound. I kind of prefer her that way.
"Leaves you kind of speechless...don't it?" The girl mocked.
"What did you do to Chloé?!" Sabrina shouted at the Akuma.
"Isn't it obvious, little policeman's daughter?" She sung. "I stole her voice! Now she can never break people with her words. Only thing left to do now is break her!"
Melodix went to strike Chloé until a voice stopped her.
"Ohh? You can steal voices? Well...You'll have a tough time with me because I have many." Kaito mocked her.
"Kaito what are you doing?" Marinette hissed.
"What?" Melodix stopped and stared at Kaito.
"Kaito!" Marinette warned, they had to leave. She had to transform. What was he doing?
"Relax Mari-chan, I've got this-" he coughed twice before smirking. When he opened his mouth again out came Chloé's voice. "under control."
"How-"
"What?! But I just stole her voice!" Melodic growled before smirking. "Maybe if I take all of yours I'll get stronger!"
The akuma sprinted towards them and Kaito whirled her around. They sprinted down the corridor before coming to a fork in the hall.
"Left or right?!" Kaito yelled to her.
Marinette was in a dazed, how could he have changed his voice so easily? He could never do that before. Hearing him yell made her snap out of it. Left is to the cafeteria, but right goes to the gymnasium...its lunch time so..Right! Don't want to put anyone in danger, since her strength seems to come from stealing voices and she's just transformed. It will be easier taking her on with only one voice absorbed.
"Right!"
"Roger that!" Suddenly there was a pink smoke and they turned right.
However something was off. Marinette looked back and saw herself and Kaito running left. What?! The worst part, Melodix followed the obvious fakes!
Oh no no no! If she goes that way-! "Kaito stop!" She dug her heels into the ground and forced them to stop.
He looked at her confused, "What? What's wrong?"
"I need to go to the bathroom!"
"Right now?!"
"Yes!"
He sighed and mumbled something about girls and bathrooms. Kaito let out a groan.
"Fine! I'll wait here!"
"Thank you! If I don't make it back, just hide okay?!"
"Wait! If that's the case, I should-!" She already ran away before he could finished. "come with you..."
Marinette ran as fast her thin legs could carry her. She looked back and didn't see anyone(Kaito) following her so she ducked into a nearby janitor closet. Ready to transform.
She opened her purse and out flew her red kwami, Tikki. The small god smiled at her.
"Alright, Tikki! Transform me!"
The kwami nodded before she was sucked into the black earrings that stuck to her chosen's ear lobes. A red light washed over Marinette and she felt her clothes melt away only to be replaced by a ladybug patterned latex skin suit. A similar patterned masked went over her bluebell eyes.
Once the transformation was complete, she bursted out of the closet before running to the cafeteria, yo-yo in hand.
She ran in and saw a sea of people fleeing. Many were on the ground with X's over their throats. The villain was facing off against a familiar cat in black.
"Chat Noir!" She called, throwing her yo-yo around Melodix's ankle before tugging and letting the girl fall.
"My lady!" The cat jumped away from the fallen girl and to her side. "I must say, it's wonderful to hear your purrty voice."
She rolled her eyes at his lousy pun, "Just focus on the battle kitty cat."
"As you wish, so where is the akuma this time? Her sword?"
"Nope, her head set."
"Do we go with the regular tactic?"
"Of course."
Chat Noir smirked and ran at the Akuma. He whipped his baton out and clashed it with the Akuma's sword. The blade and baton grinded together causing sparks. While her partner was busy, Ladybug used the distraction to disarm the villain.
She threw the spotted yo-yo and it hooked around the girl's wrist. She gave a swift tug and the sword slipped from her grasp.
"You ought to be careful, or else you'll fall...flat." Chat Noir took the chance and tripped the girl using his extendable baton.
He crouched down, ready to grab the headset, before ladybug noticed something was wrong.
"Chat wait!"
It was too late, the boy was kicked across the room and into a lunch table. Breaking it in half.
The enraged villain got up as Ladybug pulled her yo-yo back. "If that's all you got, then you better try harder!"
The girl threw her arms out wide and faced them. She took in a large gulp of hair before letting out a violent opera scream. It shook the floors and walls. The heroes were forced to cover their ears. Chat Noir winced at the sound, his cat ears more sensitive than a humans. Ladybug grimaced at the sound. This is going to be a problem.
When the screaming stopped, Ladybug threw her yo-yo in the air. "Lucky Charm!"
Light collected to the spinning t-weapon...and out of it fell a fuzzy, ladybug patterned pair of earmuffs. At the sight of the muffs and idea sparked in her head.
"Chat Noir!" She called his attention before throwing the pair at him and gesturing him to put them on. "I need you to get close and grab the headset!"
He nodded and placed the muffs over his cat ears. Melodix sucked in another breath, prepared to scream again. When she did, Chat sprinted towards her. The girl saw him coming and tried to grab him but Ladybug-grimacing the whole time-wrapped her yo-yo around the girls wrist and pulled them together. With another tug, she pulled the music swordsman forward as Chat Noir vaulted over her and grabbed the headset off her.
"Ladybug!" He yelled too loudly but threw the object her way.
Grasping it, she threw it on the ground. Ot broke down the glass middle and a black butterfly flew out. Ladybug twirled her trusty yo-yo and threw it at the fleeing bug. When it was captured, she let it free with a mutter of a familiar line.
"Bye bye pretty butterfly."
Chat strutted over to her, pulling the ear muffs off his head and handing them to the lucky bug. Grateful, she took them before throwing them up in the air.
"Miraculous Ladybug!"
The object exploded into a flurry of little ladybugs that circled the mute victims and the cafeteria tables.
Turning to her partner, she offered up her fist in a congratulatory fist bump.
He returned the gesture and together they exclaimed, "Bien joué!"
Chat looked at her longingly and she knew what he was going to say. However, she didn't need to say anything. In the silence, a slow clapping echoed out. The superheroes turned to the source and saw a familiar magician standing with a smirk on his face.
"Wow. I heard there were superheroes in Paris but never thought the rumors were true." Kaito walked towards them. "It's Red Lady and the Neko right?"
Ladybug tried not to laugh at the name Chat was given.
Chat huffed. "It's Ladybug and Chat Noir. At your service." He bowed in a dramatic way.
"At my service hm?" Kaito turned to her and she saw a flash of recognition in his eyes before it was over taken by amusement. "Well, I'm looking for a little lady. Marinette? Do any of you know her?"
"You mean Princess?" Chat asked.
"Princess?"
Ladybug heard her earrings beep and decided to cut in, "Yes. I told her to hide while I was on my way here."
Kaito seemed to smirk her way, an unsettling sight. "Well then...you're the hero. I assume I can believe you."
"Of course." Another beep.
Suddenly, he stuck his fist out to her, causing Chat to flinch a little. Kaito turn it slightly, out came a red rose. Ladybug accepted the gesture by taking the red rose. "As thanks for keeping her out the fray."
Faking surprise, she exclaimed, "Wow! Such a neat trick! And it's no problem!"
"Very." Chat grumbled slightly and Ladybug swore she saw a the magician's mouth twitch like he was holding back a laugh.
"Well! I have to go! See you at patrol, Chat!" With that she fled the scene as her earrings beeped.
The whole exchanged was a hilarity to the secret thief. He let his eyes wandered to the obviously jealous cat.
"I can't help but to notice...are you interested in the heroine?" He asked the obvious question.
Chat was looking at his ring, but popped his head up at the question. He had a blush on his cheeks but most was covered by the black mask.
"What makes you ask?" He asked a little too guarded.
Kaito's blue eyes twinkled. "It was as plain to see when you two fist bumped."
The cat hero rubbed his neck sheepishly. "Is it that obvious?"
The magician just nodded, "I understand where you're coming from although. I too am in love with a friend of mine." He noticed how chat flinched.
Kaito tried not to laugh.
"I guess we're the same." Chat simply commented.
Kaito let himself laugh this time. Startling the feline. I'm letting my KID slip in this conversation too much...hmhm but this is too fun. They're so obvious. Hm? Wonder what will push his buttons...
"I believe we are far from the same Chat Noir. You see, I know my love for my dear friend is true. While yours is merely an infatuation."
He watched as the Chat's ears twitched and his tail flicked angrily. The boy's expression turned into a scowl.
"Hey, you don't understand. I love Ladybug and I'll risk my life for her anyday. What I feel isn't just an infatuation." He growled.
Kaito smirked, "Calm down, no need to be so Agreste-ive." He watched the poor superhero freeze and his eyes widen. The words were forming in his lips, until he was interrupted by a loud beep.
"Guess that means good-bye? See you next time, Neko-chan." He waved before stalking to the entrance.
He could feel the burning gaze of the hero in his head. Man, Paris is better than I thought. It will be fun trying to get those two together. He saw Marinette come through the doors, see seemed out of breath. A plan formulated in his mind. A very devious plan. A plan to make both parties realize many things. How perfect.
"Ah! Mari-chan! Where have you been?" He put his hand on her shoulder and cocked his head to the side.
He watched her launch into an explanation. A total lie. Full of holes. Not that he questioned. When she came to her conclusion, he made his first move in this game of love chess. Kaito grabbed her and pulled her into a tight embrace.
He spoke in a soft, loving tone, "You had me so worried. Never do that again."
He felt her froze, in his embrace. He tried not to smirk. Keeping his spectacular poker face. His eyes wondered to the frozen hero. They locked eyes and Kaito smiled. The hero's eye brow twitch and he saw a flash of realization in his eyes. A beep interrupted the eye contact and Chat was forced to leave to scene.
He pulled away and smiled at Marinette who was looking at him in awe.
"So that was an Akuma attack?" He decided to ask.
She nodded, "They happen often."
"And that doesn't bother you?"
"It did, but they are so common that it's pretty much expected."
"How does that happen to someone?"
She launched into an explanation about butterflies and hawk people. Emotions running high. Things like that. He factored this into his plans. Can't make them too emotional then or else bad things will happen. But still overall fun and very very funny.
Adrien had never been to more into fencing than he was today. Some would argue that he was too aggressive but he felt like he needed to blow off steam. The comment that new kid, Kaito, said shook him.
It was like he was laughing at me!
The model extraordinaire had a feeling that he knew something he didn't. It was worst that he seemed to know who he was. Not that he was going to address that. The kid only met him today, there wasn't even a possibility that he could've figured something that a whole city couldn't in less than a day!
He probably just liked the pun my name can be used for.
His thoughts wondered to what the teen had said. It made him angrier thinking about it. How dare he call my love just an infatuation! What would he know!?
"I too am in love with a friend of mine."
The image of Kaito hugging Marinette make his stomach turn. He tried to think of the possibility. Although, it was high. Marinette seemed to know Kaito, Nino as well. It made sense in that way, but he didn't know why it bothered him so. It wasn't like he had strong feelings for Marinette.
Strong feelings or no feelings. There is a difference. Correction, no feelings. Well romantic feelings. He still thinks she is a wonderful friend, who acts a little strange, but that is what makes her her.
Or does it? I mean she only acts that way around me...I never see the side that she shows everyone else. The fiery, cheerful, caring side that everyone knows. Except me.
"Monsieur Agreste!" His teacher snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Y-yes sir?"
He sighed, "Your mind is elsewhere and you seem agitated. Go relax."
Adrien nodded. How could he let his emotions show through like that? His father will most definitely hear about this. The fencer walked to the bleachers and sat himself down. He grabbed a bottle of water, gulping all the contents down.
He tried not to think about the incident before. He thought of other things like: His lady, what thing he has next, when to restock on cheese for Plagg, Patrol, fantasizing about his lady, how much homework he has, and was it mentioned that he thought about his lady?
He sighed and let himself droop in the seat. Suddenly, he heard it. The sound of small bells that made angels fly. Okay maybe a little too dramatic there. It was a cute small giggle. It was far, but he heard it. He turned as looked at the exit and saw Nino, Marinette and...Kaito. The conversation they had was back in the forefront of his memory. His gut twisted again. He didn't like the way Kaito had his arm around her shoulder so casually. Nor did he like the way he whispered in her ear, causing her to blush. The only satisfaction he got was the slap that Kaito received. When he realized he felt that, he forced himself to stop all together.
You just met the guy! Hell you didn't even meet him properly, but that gives you no right to enjoy his pain! You are as bad as Chloé. Adrien scolded himself harshly. It didn't matter how irritated he made him before, that as as Chat, this was Adrien! Maybe they could start over? Kaito is a friend of his two great friends. Surely they could get along.
"Hey! Adrien!" Nino called out to him.
He heard Marinette squeak. He waved back as the three walked his way.
"Hey Nino, Marinette and Kaito was it?" He greeted them.
"Yep, I knew I recognized you from somewhere. Must be from all the posters of you littered all over Paris." Kaito grinned and he did not like how he used littered in that sentence.
He didn't understand the sudden need to one up the magician. "Well that's what happens when you're a model, I guess."
"A model!? Wow I didn't know you were friends with a model, Nino. I thought he was some famous actor."
Nino laughed, "Nah, but my man here can act! You should've seen him in one of my productions!" The Dj placed a hand on his shoulder, chucking the whole time.
"So, what are you guys doing?" Adrien asked.
"We were going to Mari's house. And Kaito was going to show me what it takes to be a magician!" Nino exclaimed.
Adrien saw Marinette roll her eyes, "Which I to oppose- I mean which I o-oppose to, I don't need two magicians. It's bad enough dealing with one."
"Hey!" Kaito pouted while they laughed. Adrien just grinned at the sight.
"I thought you wanted to be a DJ or a director?" Adrien questioned.
"I do! It's just, imagine the dough I could get from being a magician on the side!" Nino exclaimed.
"Hey, I thought it was about making the audience smile and laugh." Marinette playfully added.
"Smiles and laughter are always good, but never forget your poker face!" Kaito quoted.
"Can I put that on a bumper sticker?" The four broke out in laughter at Nino's comment.
"Monsieur Agreste!" His instructor called.
"Well I guess that's my que to go. It was nice meeting you, Kaito."
"Yes, I hope we can Chat later." Kaito smirked at him and he nearly tripped.
No! Don't over think it! He could mean a different Chat like chat as in talking not me the hero!
"Y-Yeah. See you later Nino, Marinette."
"Later dude!" Nino gave him a wave.
Marinette's face reddened and she stammered out a reply, "Yeah, Letse! I mean Later see- See later. You. Yes. Later, see you!"
Adrien smiled before placing his helmet back on and walking to the instructor. He couldn't help himself from looking back at the trio and seeing Kaito's wide grin. Such an unsettling sight.
Oh my god...over 5,000 words...well, this is the longest thing I have written, relish in that~
Ah-hem anyway..That was Chapter 1! Hoped you all love reading it. See you Next Illusion~
Ciao-su~
