Hello this is ShiroiMi after being inactive for so long thanks to school. But whatever. Just a random passing thought that i wanted to pen down quite some time ago. Anywhere here goes. The series will be 4-5 chapters long. featuring of course kAiTo and KuDo. Here goes. Chapter 1- CAT AND MOUSE
There is a common myth which claims that when two people are faced with death simultaneously at the same location and at the same time, their souls swap. This is true.
"Kid, you aren't getting away from me this time." Kudo shinichi, finally back with his 17 year old body declared.
The two mentioned were presently in a cat-and-mouse chase on the highest floor of the building at the Emerald Wonder Kid heist. Kid, presently in the lead, were darting, side-stepping, leaping from pillar to pillar, from corner to corner, from side to side, in a effort to shake off the bloodhound behind.
The bloodhound behind was none other than the high school meitantei, Kudo Shinichi. After his 'disappearance' for so long, now he is back into the limelight and this Kid heist was becoming one of the best ever.
"Eh? Big words, tantei-kun. You sure you aren't wearing a hat too large for you?" Kid teased, light-hearted in tone. Although he was dashing in a race, his voice didn't falter, his breathing was calm and even.
Kudo smirked. "You think? Last few times you have physical advantage, but now you don't. So now, we are on equal grounds. A simple game of good vs evil and good always triumph." Kudo's voice was calm and even as well, no strain, no sign of weakness.
Kid made a sudden action of turning a sharp left by pivoting on his left foot. His action was flawless and wasted no time nor did he slowed his speed. Kudo mimicked his action perfectly. His left foot landed softly on his toes, using his body momentum, he spun on his toes and continued the chase.
It was an one on one death match.
"Hmph. You think? I had been holding back on you tantei-kun because of your situation I gave you handicaps. Didn't you notice?" Kid laughed heartily. They were steadily heading to the rooftop, Kid destination.
"ho? Handicaps. Well, for that should I apologize?" Kudo poked fun at Kid. He knew Kid's destination was the rooftop, his usual hand glider grand finale. Ho, but if Kid thought that he was just like any other heist game with Edogawa Conan, he would be in for a nasty surprise.
Kid smiled at Kudo's reply but didn't answer back. His feet raced him to the last flight of stairs. He reached first, naturally, since he was quicker than Kudo, faster and swifter but Kudo matched him with strength so it was sort of an even match. Still the quick always passes the finishing line first declared Kid because he was always the 'quick' one. No one, be it detective, police or thief, had matched him in his agility.
Kid flung the door open. The cool night air rushed towards him, his white cap flew freely behind his back. He slowed his pace and reached the edge of the rooftop.
Kudo sped through the open door fractions of second later. In one swift motion he drew his gun.
"freeze." Kudo commanded. His gun hand was steady, the barrel pointing straight at Kid's white back against the dark evening sky.
Kid froze, his back still facing tantei-kun, not even bothering to turn around. He had anticipated this. "Hmm. Dangerous toy you have there tantei-kun" No trace of fear in his voice.
"I told you. I am Kudo Shinichi. It won't be a game of tag anymore." Kudo smirked.
"So tell me. You are going to shoot me?" Kid asked back, a battle of words had just begun.
"try me." Kudo said mysteriously, confidence in his voice.
Kid remained silent. The war reached a temporal stalemate. The two of them stood silently at the top of the building, one at gunpoint. The chilly wind breeze blew all around him. The white cap of Kid flew, flapped in the wind. Time seemed to stop.
Kid turned his face sideways a little, looking at Kudo Shinichi from the corner of his right eye. Using his right hand to tip his hat downwards a little. "You know something tantei-kun?" he paused. "even I knew nothing else about you, which I do, but if I didn't, I know that you can't shoot. Not because you can't shoot but you wouldn't be able too" He gave his final smirk before leaping off the roof.
Simultaneously, a bang echoed in the evening air. Smoke trailed out of the gun in Kudo's hand, gun powder erupted from the barrel. Kid fell.
