I'd been thinking of doing some DCMK oneshot/drabbles for a while now, but it was getting them written down and trying to get myself motivated that got me stuck. This Fanfic is kind of like my Blue Exorcist drabble one where I do oneshots of Rin in the future. However this story is more focused on Kaito and Shinichi/Conan and the many different ways they can meet and interact with each other. I wanted to do it because I like seeing these two meet, especially when Kaito is out of his KID regalia as it makes for a fun interaction between the two.
I've already got a few ideas on what the next few stories/oneshots/drabbles (whatever you want to call them) are. However if anyone has any ideas on how these two should meet then leave a comment. I'm free to ideas, especially if it includes anything between dramatic entrances, awkward meetings or just it being plain funny. Also I don't mind adding in Hakuba, Ran, Aoko or Heiji sometimes, but since I don't know their characters that well I'm only sticking to them for the time being and I won't add any other DCMK chars yet until I've seen/read more of it.
Also sorry, if the next chap of 'The Later Years' isn't up yet. I'm still unsure whether I like how I've written that chapter and haven't gotten around to checking it yet. Anyways, hope this keeps you entertained for now! Enjoy!
Story 1: A Fateful Date
It was Sunday; a nice sunny day, not a cloud to seen in the sky. It wasn't too crowded at the theme park known as Tropical Land. The Heisei Holmes of Beika had taken his childhood friend to said amusement park after she won a karate tournament.
It got him away from the many gruesome murders he had to deal with on a daily basis after all.
No harm with that?
Not that he wouldn't stop talking about 'The Great Sherlock Holmes' and 'Conan Doyle' much to his friend's despair; who looked ready to punch his lights out.
It was just past noon and the two were nearing a snack bar. The teenage detective with the infamous cowlick looked at his friend with a smile on his face. "Ran, why don't you find a table? I need to use the bathroom."
She turned to her friend with a tilt of her head and nodded, looking a little unsure. "Huh? Sure, Shinichi…"
His smile widened before heading off down the path towards the restrooms. He looked over his shoulders to see Ran taking a seat at a table. He turned back around and walked into the male toilets; stepping in cautiously, a frown etched on his face as he peeked in. His eyes scanning the premises of the restrooms carefully; making sure there was no blood, no weapon and most of all ... no body. He was trying to make sure there was no one suspicious around.
'You can never be too careful…' The teenage sleuth approached the basins; once he was sure no one was around; letting out a sigh in the process. He let a hand pass through his neat brown hair; ocean blue eyes scanning the sink's texture as his other hand went to turn the tap on. "I guess I do need this … just to get away from all those cases is a good thing … sometimes…" A wry smile crossed the teen's features as he gingerly, turned the tap on, wetting his hands and soaking his face with the cool water.
He never realised how stressful he was doing case after case until he finally got a day to himself. Ran had been right that he needed a break from cases and that them going to Tropical Land would suffice as both his break and for her winning the karate tournament.
It was a good idea.
It got his mind off of dead bodies and cases for a little while, but that didn't mean his mind didn't drift at points...
Shinichi dipped his head forward, sighing, hands leaning against the sink. His eyes watching the running water leave the basin and run down the drain. 'But it's not my fault a body always seems to pop up in my life almost daily. A detective's job is to help find the truth…"
The sound of rushing footsteps stopped Shinichi's thoughts as he lifted his head up just enough to see another teen come running in, "COMING THROUGH! MAGICIAN GOT TO PEE!"
Shinichi blinked in surprise as he watched the teen rush into the nearest cubicle he could find. 'Definitely something you don't see every day…' He turned his attention back to the sink, turning the tap off and massaging his temple. 'Just a few more hours and hopefully…hopefully … today will be murder free.'
A flush cut his thoughts off once more as he turned to look at the teen that had rushed in only moments ago, was coming out of the cubicle, zipping his pants up. His face and posture relaxed as he walked over to the sink with a goofy grin. "Sweet release…" He turned on the tap, washing his hands, not noticing Shinichi's stare.
The other teen had messy brown hair; a lighter shade than Shinichi's and his eyes seemed to shine like sapphires. 'He could pass off as my twin if he wanted…'
The other teen conjured up a handkerchief to wipe his hands with; his eyes finally noticing the other teen and smiling at him. "Oh! I didn't notice you there! Sorry, when I gotta go I don't take in my surroundings that well!" He explained to Shinichi with a cheery voice, surprising the teen detective somewhat of how chipper the other was.
The teen made the hanky disappear and rubbed his head with that goofy grin still plastered on his face. It almost seemed unrealistic of how wide it was; like it belonged to a cat that was planning some sort of mischief and then possibly runaway afterwards.
This teen ... seemed almost surreal in a way...
Shinichi had caught how he the other had conjured up the handkerchief; coming to the conclusion that the one before him must be into magic. He noticed how when it disappeared it was just slipped up the teen's sleeve with a flick of his wrist. 'He's no amateur when it comes to magic. I can see through it, but ordinary people won't.'
"Sure…" Shinichi said, almost sounding unsure of how to reply, especially to a teen that had bounded in saying they had to 'pee' with so much energy. The detective shook his head and stuck his hand in front of his body toward the other teen.
Where were his manners?
He should at least introduce himself to the other teenager; even if he does seem a little hyper.
"I'm Kudou Shinichi, nice to meet you. I'm here with my childhood friend."
"Really? Did you get dragged into a date too? Mine did!" The teen grinned as he shook Shinichi's hand. The answer caused Kudou to tilt his head to the side with a slight frown. "Kuroba Kaito, it's nice to meet you too!"
Once their hands met; Shinichi felt it. He felt the information from this teen enter him. Not everything, but what he used his hands for and it … was surprising. 'A magician; that's not surprising seeing what he did before and ... a thief!?' They let their hands fall to their sides, in Kaito's case in his pockets.
"Anyway, we shouldn't leave our friends waiting."
Kaito turned around to head back to his friend; Shinichi looked down at his hand with wide eyes before looking back up at the retreating form of the teen he had just met.
'Could this information be wrong? Or is someone around my age … really a thief?' A slight frown crossed the teenage sleuth's face as he put a hand to his head and sighed. 'Have we met before?' Shinichi looked over at Kaito to see him waving to someone in the distance; a frown etching on the young detective's face. 'No. Not face to face. A magician and thief ... a magician thief...' A look of shock suddenly crossed his face; realization dawning on the young detective as he watched other teen have his head bashed in with a mop and cringed at the sight. 'There is no way this guy is Kaitou KID!'
If anyone hasn't noticed this takes place before Shinichi became Conan when he went with Ran to Tropical Land and I decided to put Kaito and Aoko going on the same day since they went on a date there too. Since Shinichi has that talent where he's able to tell someone's occupation by shaking their hand he'd be able to do that with Kaito and I just put them in a bathroom for their meeting place to make it more funny.
