This is the most obvious storyline ever to think up using Shinichi and Kaito/Kid! I don't know if anyone has a fic with this same storyline, though. Of course, the storyline has some of my touches to it as well…
Note: This is a rewrite of the original Doppelganger. However, this chapter actually got to retain most of the original.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters in this fanfic.
~Special Heist~
Kaito was not feeling like his usual self when he woke up in the morning. No, he wasn't transforming into a monster, he wasn't a girl…in actual fact, it was just a cold.
An ordinary cold could make anyone miserable, but Kaito didn't think he could recover from this cold in one day. He had a heist tomorrow - if he didn't appear at the heist, everyone would assume he was sick and then someone would connect the dots to figure out he was Kid. That was why he was more than miserable.
How was he going to pull it off now?
He turned, shivering from illness, and looked at the newspaper article sitting on the bedside table. 'Kudo Shinichi, high school detective,' it read. Perfect, he thought, staring at the picture of Shinichi, he'll be my doppelganger! No one will ever tell the difference if he's in a Kid costume!
Shinichi found a Kid card on his doorstep the very next day. It had a newspaper clipping that read,
Gemini – the sign of the twins (May 22-June 21)
The next part was made up of letters and words cut out of a newspaper.
Twins will always find each other, no matter where they are.
Their intertwining fates will always become one at the end, and they will shine brightly.
Kaito Kid (Kid doodle doing peace sign)
Shine brightly…a diamond! Diamond Fate, Shinichi thought, that's his next target! I've got to stop him!
Diamond Fate was a very self-explanatory gem. Found deep in the Australian rainforest, the Tokyo Museum was now displaying it.
But what did the 'twins will always find each other' part mean? He'd have to find Kid to find out.
His eyes suddenly fell on the doodle. Kid never drew his doodles doing that pose, did he?
Luck was finally on his side – Kaito's doppelganger had arrived at the scene.
"Let the show begin!" he yelled triumphantly as Shinichi whirled around, startled by the thief that had been hiding in the shadows.
Kid tipped his hat to the detective for a few seconds, revealing his hair – and the vital clue Shinichi needed to decipher the calling card. They were almost identical! Kid was trying to fly away, though, and a decent detective would never let that happen, especially an elusive thief like Kaito Kid.
Suddenly, the cold got the better of the spiky-haired teen and he halted in mid-air - he was steering himself at the time. Shinichi just couldn't believe his eyes when Kid started to plummet to the ground...
Is this all just an act for trust between a thief and his detective? Shinichi couldn't help but think as he dashed over to catch the rapidly falling phantom thief.
