Ayumi: Hi, it's me Ayumi Yoshida, with me are(The First Opening of Detective Conan is heard in the background) Kaito Kuroba and Shinichi Kudo
Kaito: Yo, it's a pleasure to meet all of you
Shinichi: Likewise (Shinichi glares over at the smirking Kaito, he wearing his Kaito Kid uniform). Is that outfit really necessary?
Kaito (Smirking a smirk that irritates Shinichi): Of course Tantei-san, it's my calling card, much like that suit, tie, and glasses
Ayumi: But Shinichi-nii doesn't wear glasses
Kaito (Still grinning was about to continue, when he leaps to the left avoiding a flying soccer ball aimed at his head): Hey!!
Shinichi (Ignoring Kaito smiles gently at Ayumi): Never mind that, just go do the disclaimer, and start the story Ayumi-chan
Ayumi smiles brightly and puffs out her cheeks, preparing. Breathing in deeply, she holds the microphone to her mouth and speaks.
Ayumi: Konsu does not own Detective Conan nor does he own Shizuru, I mean mommy, she's from another series, which one, well, Kon-nii doesn't want that out just yet, he would rather have you figured it out like the detectives he know you can be…now… (Kaito gives Ayumi a small nod)…Ladies and Gentlemen…please enjoy the remake of Ayumi no Kaito, Ayumi the Phantom Thief
"KYAAAAA!"
"KYAAAAA!"
Ayumi Yoshida(8) screams as the woman in the movie does. Clutching the edge of her seat, she smiles excitedly, despite the fear clutching her being as she watched Dracula move in on his victim. Eyes widening, she watches him crawl into her bed, slowly discarding his cape, shirt, and seconds before he did his pants, the TV cuts off, and Ayumi shivers, feeling a gaze on her back.
"Ayumi-chan, it's time for bed," said her mother softly.
"But mom, Dracula was about to attack his next victim,"
Ayumi's mother shakes her head, knowing the girl was clueless about anything sexual, and what she was close to learning….a little too early for her liking. Glaring lightly at the girl, she saw Ayumi sigh and walk off, preparing for bed. Releasing her own sigh, the woman cuts on the TV, flips the channel multiple times, and sits down smirking, lighting the cigarette she had grabbed from behind her ear.
"Cartoons the greatest creation ever made,"
An hour later, Ayumi awakens by sounds of police sirens, and a helicopter. Rubbing the sand from her eyes, she sits up to see a figure standing on her balcony. Ever curious, she leaves her bed, heading for the balcony, determination burning in her eyes, and grabs a toy bat along the way, in case the figure was dangerous. Stealthily she unlocks the balcony door, and opens it with a small shout, startling the figure, a figure that almost falls over the ledge.
Seeing the cape, Ayumi says the first thing that comes to mind, dropping her bat in shock.
"Are you Dracula?"
The figure, Kaitou Kid chuckles at the girl's awe and wonder.
"No, but I'm quite the charmer as he was," Kid steps off the ledge, and bows. "For you Little Lady," a rose appears in his hand, surprising Ayumi.
Timidly reaching out for it, Ayumi stares at Kid with her big innocent blue eyes, making his usual gentleman smile drop, it becoming soft and warm.
"Thank you mister, but how did you do that?" she asks excitedly, having seen magic before, but not up this close, and usually had Conan explain things like this to her or the other Detective Boys, ruining the show or fun, knowingly or not.
"Hahaha Mister?" he said, a twitch in his eye. "No, no, the name is Kaitou Kid," he smirks a bit seeing her eyes widen. "And as for how I did it," he reaches behind her ear, and pulls back, revealing a white rose.
"It's a little thing called magic,"
Ayumi smiles, sparkles forming around her, and Kid laughs nervously at the sight.
'I wanna learn magic,' she thought suddenly, her smile growing larger. Turning to Kid, she saw him on the ledge once more, staring down at the gathering police cars, a large nervous sweat drop forming.
'Time to go,'
Turning to Ayumi he smiles once more at her, his glider forming beneath his cape.
"Bye, bye Little Lady, maybe we'll meet again," giving her a small wave, he leaps off, gliding through the skies, the police chasing after him.
Waving bye, Ayumi watches until he's out of sight, and heads inside, needing to find a vase for her flowers.
XxXxXxXxXx
Unknown to Ayumi, her mother had watched the entire exchange from behind the door.
'I feel a headache forming,'
Slowly walking to her room, Ayumi's Mother lights another cigarette and closes the door with a sigh. Pushing pass the stacks of books on the floor, she sits at her desk, and opens the folder, revealing six files.
Reading through the files, Ayumi's Mother; Shizuru Yoshida, whispers softly to herself.
"This Black Organization it gives me the chills," staring at the family photo of she and Ayumi, Shizuru smiles grimly.
"I can't pull you into this Ayumi-chan, but I know it's too late for that now," sighing, Shizuru pulls out her cell, and dials a number.
"Hello,"
"I have something I want to talk to you about tomorrow,"
"Huh, okay, sure, where should we meet?"
"At the café that girlfriend of yours like so much,"
"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!"
"Calm down Kai-chan," laughs Shizuru. "Just meet me around four," she said in a tone that left no room for arguments.
"Fine, fine, see you then auntie,"
Shizuru hangs up the phone and leans back in her chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Magic huh? Let's wait for her to ask me,"
Smirking a bit, Shizuru puts out her cigarette in the ashtray, and glances down at the files on her desk once more before putting out the lights, and going to bed.
Tomorrow was going to be a long day.
XxXxXxXxXx
"Ehh, you met Kaitou Kid?"
Ayumi grins nodding.
"He was amazing. He showed me a magic trick and everything," she said waving her arms in the air dramatically.
Conan Edogawa groans hearing the talk, and frowns seeing the blush on Ayumi's cheek, the girl explaining how Kid gave her two roses.
'Another addition to the Kaitou Kid Fan club,' thought Conan.
"You seem upset Kudo-kun,"
Conan groans once more, and glances at Ai Haibara, an air of annoyance and frustration around him.
"Is it obvious?"
"It is,"
Groaning again, he kicks the soccer ball against the school wall.
"Kaitou Kid huh?" he whispers, listening to the kids talk more about them. "What will our Heisei Sherlock do the next time he confronts Heisei Lupin?" Haibara glances up from her book, to glance at Conan, he stopping the ball, and cocking back his leg, ready to kick it once more.
"Catch him,"
Determination burning in his eyes, he kicks the ball with all his might, it smacking loudly against the wall.
"I'm sure you will,"
Conan didn't know if she was being sarcastic or serious, he could never tell with her, but he shrugs, not caring, stalking off, knowing one day he would catch the uncatchable thief.
'Or so they call him, but I will catch him,'
XxXxXxXxXx
"Mom,"
Ayumi knocks on her mother's door. A few days has passed since she met with destiny, or so she calls it, and now it was the time to set it in motion. But first, she had to ask her mother for permission. Magic, it wasn't something she thought too much of, but since meeting Kid and watching him perform his one trick, magic has completely captivated her time. It was amazing. It was so amazing, she tried to do it more than once....with disastrous results.
Flashback
"The man at the magic show levitated a plate....it didn't look too hard,"
Ayumi smiles brightly and grabs a plate of the counter. Huffing, Ayumi holds out the plate, commanding it with her mind to float.
"Hmmm....hmmmm,"
Shizuru watches Ayumi in amusement, stifling a laugh at her red, concentrated face. It soon fades watching what the girl did next.
"Okay, if that don't work...then,"
Ayumi tosses the plate in the air, and holds out her hands, shouting loudly.
"LEVITATE!"
Crash
"Oops,"
"AYUMI!"
"SORRY!"
Flashback End
Ayumi shivers at the pain she received afterwards.
"Never again,"
Finding her resolve, she waits for her mother to answer. A few moments later, the door swings open, revealing her messy hair, smoking mother.
"Yes Ayumi-chan?"
Shizuru stares down at Ayumi, the girl looked unusually...peppy. It was unusual for anyone in her family to be so bright, but she guesses that sets Ayumi apart from her delinquent family. Rubbing her head, she stares the girl over and smiles, finally catching the determine glint in her eyes.
"Mama...I uh," Ayumi fumbles over her words a few more times before blurting them out. "I WANT TO LEARN MAGIC," she shouts feeling embarrassed of her mother's intense stare.
"Oh...is that all...okay then,"
Stun, Ayumi watches her mother enter the room, closing the door softly. Ayumi stares at the door a few seconds longer, wondering if that was really it.
'Um,'
A second later, the door swings open, revealing her mother, she surprisingly normal, a phone to her ear...still smoking.
"Kaito-chan, can you do your aunt a favor? Yes, it's about that," Shizuru blinks seeing Ayumi still at the door. "Ayumi-chan," smiling softly, she bends down, and places her hand on her daughter's head.
"You can learn magic...I'm speaking with your new sensei now,"
Chuckling at Ayumi's bright smile, Shizuru hands her a lollypop.
"Don't worry; he'll make sure your dreams come true,"
Ayumi: There we go everyone, how did you like the first chapter of Ayumi the Phantom Thief?
Shinichi: Hmm, it wasn't all that special
Kaito: I liked it, did you see how cool I was
Ayumi: Ehh, why didn't you like it Shinichi-nii? (Tears bubbles to Ayumi's eyes)
Shinichi (Sweat drops, and glances at Kaito for help, only to see him smirking): Well, um, there wasn't anything really wrong, it was just…um…slow…that's it slow
Ayumi (The tears threatening to pour vanish instantly): Is that all Shinichi-nii, geez you're so impatient (Ayumi giggles and Kaito laughs), the action will come soon, but this is just the beginning arc, you just can't jump into the action without any kind of build up
Kaito: Yeah Tantei-san, be paitent
(Shinichi grumbles to himself angrily, not liking that a little girl and his rival was ganging up on him)
Shinichi: Whatever, people just look forward to next chapter, it will be…quite interesting
Ayumi: How do you know that?
Shinichi: I'm an ace detective…of course I know
(Kaito shakes his head and pulls down the curtain ending the chapter)
