Prologue: Secrets Buried Alive

A mysteries person walks the tunnels of the Crows, which is damp from the dirt within Earth walls. The tunnel is underground since it is a hidden part of the headquarters that will soon be destroyed. There is little light besides the candles which light the darkness within. This person states a riddle that the boss wants solved before the time comes to use it. This person states the riddle in a tune an old witch's prophecy for a magical gem known as the Pandora Gem. She states:

I am the gem called Pandora,
And this is my wish.
I hide within another,
But is revealed under the moonlight,
As my true color is blood.

I am spade, cover, diamond, and heart,
Since the Dove and Raven are apart.
My vessels are K S., K.K. K. U., and K. B.,
Until the 10,000 year of the Volley Comet,
Comes to begin the reunion of one.

Lupin and Holmes are key,
For the secrets they hide.
Black Feather Kite is the Magician,
Driving Force New One is the Detective,
Yet the Dove and Raven is protected by the Egos.

I am the Pandora Gem,
My wish is the Kaitou's and Meitantei's truth.
I grant immortality from tears,
That justice cannot touch.
Can you find me in plain sight?

This person stops and becomes silence as they hear footsteps nearby, knowing that Anokata has found out who the true traitor was that let Kaitou 1412 know what he wanted to be found. 1412 now knows what the gem is that needs to be destroyed or disappear completely before it falls into the wrong hands. This mysteries person shows no emotion or care for what is about to be done since secrets stay secrets if you trust the right people.

Gin and Vermouth steps out of the shadows to reveal guns in their hands, but they do not point at the person who shows no fear of anything. Instead they turn to make sure no one knows what will happen to this person with sadness shown on their faces. After they are far away, laughter can be heard from a hole in the wall that is right in front of the mysteries person. The person laughing as the person, Anokata, comes out of the shadow with a gun pointing at the heart of the traitor Crow.

"Why did one of my best Crows go become a traitor for?" Anokata asked as he stepped forward, but kept his face within the shadows since he was too cautious to be seen by this certain Crow.

The Crow stares with a smile that would normally mean trouble for anyone else. This smile gives nothing away to its boss since ether way would lead down the same path of death. This Crow answer Anokata emotionlessly, "I wanted to see if 1412 could help find it…," this person smirks devilishly while adding, "Besides, maybe he can find it, and then you or one of your other little Crows can steal it back if he does."

Anokata is not happy since he frowns at the remark due to the fact that this person knows that time is an issue for him, but the person does see it on Anokata's face. He states nothing as he fires a shot into the soon to be dead Crow. "You will die here as a traitor to the organization and be buried forever in the Earth where no one can find you." A few more shots enter the ex – Crow's heart and dies from five gunshot wounds.

Anokata smiles as he leaves to go see if the preparations are ready to start. He finds Gin and Vermouth ready to destroy the tunnels that will keep the traitorous Crow buried forever. They leave as the countdown begins. A few minutes later, the tunnel disappears as if it was never there. Smiling, Anokata thought 'Now let find this Kaitou 1412 and kill him as well so Pandora will be mine for the taking.'

Gin and Vermouth remained quiet while letting nothing show of what they were thinking. They did not know what happened to the other, but did not question it for fear of what the other did that was so bad that would place them as a traitor of the Crows. This Crow was the best assassin out of all of them. What would make Anokata kill the best one? Why would he kill his best assassin? Is it because of fear or something else? Maybe, Pandora's Box is something that should never be opened by anyone. Why the best Crow would betray the organization for a riddle that cannot be solved easily? Is there something that the Crow figured out, but what would it be if it caused them their death?

As the three Crows left, a shadow watched them as it hid behind an old tree nearby with a smirk on its face.


A/N: Tell me what you think, and let me know if there are any grammar mistakes or questions. I will try to answer them soon enough or state if the answer will show up later. I can go anywhere with it, but I wonder if anyone has any ideas or opinions for the story. I got chapters 1 and 2 completed, but I am doing some adjustments to them. Kaito and Shinichi did not show up in this part, but they will in the next chapter. This story will kind of follow the manga and anime, but it depends. This is a kaishin/ shinkai so be warned. It will not be right off the bat, but it will get there soon enough. Let me know if you think I should add more detail or not.

P.S. See if anyone can try to solve the riddle. I did state the location of Pandora, what it is, and how to get it. The answer might not be there completely since the story must go forward some, but some of it is.
