Okay, this fic has been going on for a while, but I rewrote just the first chapter because the writing back then was just horrible. And so, the next few chapters might not sound like good quality writing, but please read and review!

Of course, I do not own anything here except for the plot.


"Haido City Hotel, room 1502. I already contacted Jii-chan." Kaito hung up as he landed quietly on the rooftop.

He chuckled to himself, remembering how he had first met Aniki with the shrunken body. It was quite a while since Shinichi, or Conan more like, had found out Kaito's identity, and discovered that they were cousins. It was quite a shock for both of them when they found out that they were actually facing the same organization. Kaito had come to call him Aniki (often used to call older brothers). The two had made a habit of helping each other out with cases but still be "enemies" at KID heists. Neither could give up the thrill they gave each other as rivals on opposite sides of law. In fact, Conan found the heists much more enjoyable than murders, since there weren't as many bodies popping up all the time.

Both Heiji and Saguru knew about their situations, as Kaito and Conan thought it best to have a sort of "knowledge insurance". Along the way, Ran, Aoko, Kazuha, Sonoko, and Akako (somewhat) had become close friends as the thief and detectives met each other outside of the heists.

As Kaito went through all of this in his mind, he held his bloody arm with his left hand as he started down the stairs. Opening the door to the hallway cautiously, he peered around. Safe, he thought. Nobody was there. He pulled out about ten hotel card keys, and picked up the one with the Haido City Hotel mark. Jii had rooms in almost every hotel within the Tokyo prefecture in case Kaito or Conan ever got injured or had to hide, and all three of them were in possession of copies of the card keys. Both Kaito and Conan had complained that hotels were too fancy for hideouts, but it wasn't quite so bad, considering the amount of room service.

Kaito slipped inside, changed, and picked up the first aid box. The door opened and an elderly man and two short figures stepped in. "Snake appeared again."

Conan nodded, "Yeah, I saw this guy who looked just like the person you described. I was trying to follow him but he got lost in the crowd."

Jii looked up from examining Kaito's arm, "Not too bad. The bullet went right through. You just need to rest."

"Oh yeah, I brought Haibara along because she insisted that she come. I told you about her before right?"

Kaito nodded in response as Jii bandaged and cleaned the wound.

"Like I said, she was their bio chemist, but she ended up betrayed them and escaped by shrinking, like me. She told me she's also treated bullet wounds before, since she also did a bunch of medical stuff for the organization," Conan said.

Haibara stepped forward from behind him. "You see, the organization had a few places disguised as hospitals and clinics, and before they decided that I was more for genetics and bio chemistry, I used to work and help out at…" Her voice faltered as she switched her attention from the wound to Kaito's face.

Wow… Kudo-kun did tell me that they looked similar, and I was sure it was a coincidence when he told me the name, but this is… And this feeling. I recognized Kudo-kun's face when I first met him instantly, but this boy's eyes, hair, his presence are all just…

Kaito held his breath. Recognition flickered in both Kaito and Haibara's eyes. No way… she can't possibly be…

For once, Haibara's cold gaze softened at she looked up at Kaito. She let out a deep breath quietly as she said quietly, "It is you right? Kaito?"

"Shiho? It really is you isn't it?"

Haibara suddenly dashed toward him and hugged him tightly.

Kaito smile, and put his hand on her wavy hair.

Conan and Jii looked at the two, puzzled.

"W-What's going on here?" Conan stammered. "Do you two mean to say that you knew each other?"

Kaito turned to look at his cousin.

Conan could immediately tell from his eyes that yes, they knew each other.

Kaito started explaining as Haibara let go. "We first met around ten years ago. She came to one of my father's shows with her parents, Akemi, and a few other people who her parents worked for." Haibara nodded as she added,

"They were actually part of the organization, but I suppose you just figured that out."

Continuing, Kaito said, "They came to at least one show every month after that, and my dad and those people would have a talk about their 'business' after them. Shiho, Akemi, and I would play during that time. We got to be really close. It went on like that for about two years until that day that oyaji died."


It took about a minute of silence for both Conan and Jii to fully comprehend what Kaito had just told them. Kaito gazed softly into Haibara's eyes. It was fairly obvious to Conan and Jii that they had a deep feeling of affection towards each other. They sensed that it was more of a friendly… no, a sibling, family like love, rather than romantic. Conan smiled. "Well, it's been about eight years since you last met, so Jii and I will get going," he said as he started dragging Jii with him. "Your wound seems fine. Just don't do anything reckless…" The door slammed shut.

"Uh…umm…" This was one of the few times where Kaito was at a loss for words. But Haibara was patient. Just like back then, Kaito thought to himself. Although she had always seemed cold and mature, Kaito knew that it was just the opposite of that. Shiho had always been tolerant of him, and her coldness came from worrying about others.

She was the one who started the conversation. "I knew that they left you alive, but I never expected you to have been Kaitou KID…"

"Well, it seems that Snake hasn't really caught on that oyaji's really dead. It'll be alright until then."

As the conversation continued, Kaito learned about Akemi's death, how Shiho was now living with Agasa Hakase, and everything else that had happened to her. He also told Shiho about all things that had happened within the eight years that they hadn't met for.

The two were so into their conversations for so long that they didn't realize that it was already past 2 in the morning.

"Wouldn't Agasa Hakase be worried about you?" Kaito asked.

"Oh, don't worry about that," Shiho replied, "I go out sometimes and don't come back until the next morning a lot. He only gets worried if I don't come back or contact him by noon. Besides, Kudo-kun probably told him already."

"Well, if you're sure, that's okay." They decided to get some sleep.

There was only one bed in the room, but neither of them minded since they had slept in the same bed a couple of times when sleeping over at each others house when they were little. Changing wasn't a problem either, since Kaito always had spare clothes handy, and Shiho didn't care what she slept in. Holding Shiho close, Kaito's breathing fell into beat with hers, and the two fell asleep.
