The sound of fans screaming was deafening to his ears, the flash of cameras were non-stop but this did not deterred Shinichi Kudo from waving and giving a huge smile to his audience. His fans screamed more wildly and the reporters started throwing bombs of question to the 17 years old teenager. One of them was boldly enough to step infront of the teenager and held excitedly on the microphone in hand.
"Congratulations Kudo-san for the success of your latest movie. How does it feel to be a child prodigy in acting?" The reporter asked.
"It feels amazing and I couldn't thank enough of my mum who taught me, I was fortunate to learn from the best and I am very grateful for it." Shinichi gave a dazzling smile and the fans swoon when they saw it. "Of course my dad played an important role too, he taught me how to gain insight of one's character."
"Do you have any comments about your next movie role where you are going to play the character of KID-sama, the Moonlight Magician?"
"I can't reveal anything right now but I am pretty excited to play the role of the phantom thief, after all I love all the mysteries and challenges he provides and the no hurt policy is just something that all criminals should have," Shinichi answered without missing a beat. "If you may excuse me now, I need to go."
"Kudo-san! Kudo-sa-!" But the bodyguards were already preventing anyone from nearing the teenage actor. Shinichi put on his sunglasses and before he entered his tinted Bentley car, he gave a wave with a killer smile.
As soon as Shinichi drove away from the crowds, he instantly dropped his act and sighed loudly. An annoyed look was on his face. This was all because of his mother's fault. Yukiko had asked him to help her to find the producer's daughter who was kidnapped. Not knowing it was an act, Shinichi had agreed in solving it without realizing the hidden cameras as he was too absorbed in deducing and finding the poor girl. He had to give a credit for the producers though, it was a well-through plan and he only realize it when his mother gave a high-five to the said producer after he finished out pointing the culprit and explaining the truth. Not to mention, the daughter was sweet too, so all was forgiven.
Shinichi parked his car expertly inside the garage of his mansion, the car gave a soft beep when he locked it. He immediately ran into his house finding his parents lounging in the library room, waiting for him.
"Shin-chan!" Yukiko called out when she saw her son entering the library. Shinichi pecked her cheeks lovingly and snuggled closed to her. Yukiko laughed and patted his head, messing his neat hair. "What's wrong with you? I thought you hate it when I hug you?"
"Only if you give me those bone-crushing hugs and its not like I hate it, it's just embarrassing." Shinichi muttered, a blush creeping onto his cheeks.
"What's this? A family bonding without me? I'm hurt." Yusaku playfully whined while putting his work aside before walking towards them. He sat beside the two and gave a peck on each person's forehead. "How was your day, son?"
"It was fine, I guess. But I'm worried about my next movie, The Moonlight Magician. To be honest, I don't know anything about him, thieves are not exactly in my field and I am only interested in homicides." Shinichi voiced out his worry.
"I think I can handle that." Yusaku pulled out his phone and dialled a certain number. Yukiko puts her arm around her son's shoulder and Shinichi leaned on her gently to absorb the warmth. After a few minutes, Yusaku put down the phone with a triumph smile. "I just talked to Megure and he said you can join in the next heist. He said that they need your detective skills in order to solve the riddle that KID sent the other day. Can you head over to the police station tomorrow?"
Shinichi nodded and thought about the moonlight magician. A phantom thief who only steals gems and plays with the task force without a care of the world. Could he pull it off? And the most important question: Would the magician allowed him to even act as him?
It took Shinichi less than five minutes to decipher the riddle. Megure-keibu was impressed by the young boy's performance while Nakomari look, well, annoyed. "You could always be a detective, Shinichi-kun." Megure-keibu said with fondness in his voice much to Nakamori's horrified look. "We could always need someone with a brain of yours."
Shinichi just laughed and smiled politely but behind his mask, he was smiling sadly. He knew he wanted to become a detective but the thought of the dangers that could be inflicted, not to him but to his parents and the people he loves were so great that he put his dream aside. Okay, who was he kidding? Ofcourse, he couldn't just throw his dream aside of becoming a great detective. That is why he created his alter-ego, Conan Edogawa. Conan Edogawa is a mysterious high-school detective that shows occasionally in order to solve hard crime. The rush of adrenaline everytime he solves a case runs through his blood and Shinichi remembered every single one of them as they made him excited.
Unknown to them, a pair of indigo eyes were looking at them, taking every word in account. Kuroba Kaito was idly sitting on Nakamori's chair with piercing eyes towards the youngest occupant in the room. Shinichi Kudo looked every bit like him except for the color of his eyes and the very neat hairstyle. Kuroba knew who he was as the latter's picture was everywhere in the newspaper, and from the few giggles from the girls in the police department, he knew his deductions was true, it was Kudo Shinichi, the child actor prodigy.
"Isn't he so dreamy?" Aoko asked with a sigh. Kaito raised an eyebrow for her out of character outburst and looked at the young actor. 'I suppose he is kind of good-looking,' Kaito thought to himself. 'But its not like I'm going to admit out loud,'
"He's okay, I guess." Kaito replied, sounding disinterested.
"Are you kidding me? He is like a gift sent from above. I would totally date him." Aoko rolled her eyes at her childish friend.
Kaito looked at her, annoyed before flipping her skirt much to Aoko's embarrassment. "Well, I don't think he would ever be interested in you. Afterall, teddy bears are not even sexy."
"BAKAITO!" Aoko shouted, her face flushing red before holding a fist up to her friend. Kaito immediately vanished from the spot when Aoko's fist was coming. Soon the game catch-and-beat-the-pulp-up began with Aoko trying to kill her childhood friend and Kaito laughing at her attempts while dodging all her attacks skilfully.
The three other occupants turned to the sound of outburst and Nakamori, who instantly knew what was happening popped a vein and grabbed forcefully the back of Kaito. Kaito who was caught off guard pushed himself away only to crash into someone. An audible gasp was heard, and Kaito could only think of one thing.
Oh shit.
He was kissing Shinichi Kudo.
