Hello everyone, and welcome to another fanfiction of mine! Just like Detective Conan, I'm also a very big fan of Magic Kaito. Gosho Aoyama did a really great job putting the story together! Though, I'm kinda sad that the anime wasn't finished. But Detective Conan has got their backs!

Anyways, on to the story! This fanfiction is loosely dedicated to the Magic Kaito fanbase, especially the main four (Saguru, Kaito, Akako, and Aoko), but some characters from Detective Conan do get a minor appearance (or direct mention only). Well, here it is!

PROLOGUE

Sunday, June 11, 2017

Abandoned alley

Time: Night, 8:35 p.m.

Rain poured down from the dark grey sky, dark clouds huddled around together to create a dark surrounding. It was a chilly, rainy night; people were in their homes, doing whatever they needed to do in their houses.

Two figures, however, ran along the rainy streets, not minding the fact that they were already soaked wet in the rain. It seems like they were chasing each other like cats and dogs; the man who wore everything in black, with a three-eyed laser mask covering his eyes, looked back to see his rival, still chasing him with determination. He growled and continued running, climbing on the stairs of abandoned apartments, then jumping down the street again, running along the wet path.

The other one, with blonde hair and brown eyes, flinched as he felt his muscles slowly giving up on him. He stopped for a while and panted, using the walls of a vandalized apartment as support. He watched as his enemy ran away, only a speck can be seen of him by now.

That blonde young man, Detective Saguru Hakuba, flinched in annoyance. No, you are not escaping me again! He screamed in his mind, quickly getting up to his feet and running after the black-clothed figure.

"Spider!" Saguru shouted, running faster. He could see Spider's figure getting nearer as he ran. "Spider! Get back here!" He shouted again, his blonde eyebrows furrowed.

The detective could only hear him chuckle, which increased Saguru's annoyance. He turned to the left, just like where Spider ran about. "Spider! Get the hell out of here, now!" He screamed, finally seeing Spider standing on the balcony of a lone apartment.

The assassin chuckled again, disappearing into the entrance of the balcony. Saguru growled, running up to the main door of the apartment. Panting and soaked in the rain, the detective ran his hands on the metal, vandalized doors before pushing them wide open.

There was nothing he could see inside the first floor but large cobwebs and rat holes, and walls with putrid words written all over. He walked inside, looking around the lonely apartment. He could see through the corner of his eye that rats were scampering around the area, hurrying to their mouse holes with their youngsters.

The detective ran a finger along the banister of the stairs. Dust immediately got trapped in the pores of his index finger. He immediately wiped it off, then looked over to the muddy footsteps on the stairs.

He smirked. Spider. He touched the banister with a wet hand and climbed the flight of stairs, looking out of the broken windows. The rain was pouring harder and harder. For sure, his father will be worried. His housekeeper would be, too.

Nearing the second floor, he could hear the sounds of someone typing on a keyboard. He smirked to himself, hurrying up the flight of stairs. Having finally reached the second floor, he frowned. Still the same details as the floor below. Perhaps some gangsters love to hang out here.

Saguru walked into the hallways of the second floor, reaching out to doors and opening them in case he could see the assassin inside. Surprisingly, there were twelve rooms in this floor, and when he checked all of them, Spider wasn't there.

He groaned in annoyance, tapping his foot. Alright, Spider. I know you're in here. He thought to himself. He then saw another flight of stairs that lead to the third floor.

Saguru's smirk from earlier widened as he walked up to the stairs, advancing up to the third floor again.

I win this time, Spider, so no more hiding.

"Spider."

Snake hissed through the computer, an annoyed expression on his face. Spider, or Gunter von Goldberg II, crossed his arms, rolling his eyes in annoyance.

"Oh, come on already, Snake. Tell me whatever sh*t you have to tell me." He grumbled, throwing his head back to see if that someone has finally gotten inside the room. He then threw a murderous glare at Snake. "Hurry before I get killed by a teenage blonde detective brat."

Snake sighed, shaking his head. "You really don't change, do you, Spider?" He asked, then turned to the assassin, his expression serious. "Well... you know about the Pandora, right?"

With that, Spider's expression turned from murderous to completely bored. "Aww, come on! Other news than that, please!" He glared at Snake, an expression of annoyance clear on his face. "I'm getting bored of this stupid Pandora talk-"

"Spider, listen to me first before you react sh*t, will you?" The other assassin cut him off, making him huff and cock his head to the side. "Well, Boss stated that the Pandora was finally found by the Suzuki Corporation. The only time we have to act is now, because if that gem will be sold soon, we can't have it."

This piqued the assassin's interest. Spider stared intently at the camera, resting his chin on two propped-up hands that were laced together, resting on the table. "Well... how about we use that Kaitou Kid thief? He could snatch it for us, then bring it to our hands."

"What the f*ck? Are you out of your mind, Spider?" Snake exclaimed irritatingly. "That kid cannot be trusted! Once he gets his hands on Pandora he would surely break it into pieces, do you even know that?!"

Spider giggled, electric-blue eyes staring evilly at Snake. "Well, perhaps a little manipulation could work, would it?"

The other assassin raised an eyebrow, blinking. "What do you mean?"

Spider laughed maniacally. "Oh, how clueless you are, Snake!" He exclaimed, then leaned in to get a near view of Snake's face. "We manipulate the kid into stealing the gem for us, send him threats, persuade him to steal Pandora, then make him send the gem quickly to us unless he wants his loved ones alive. It's that easy."

"Easy for you to say." Snake retorted, then sighed. "Kid isn't the type to surrender just because of his loved ones. He makes a plan to save them without even sealing the deal. He- wait, who is that behind you?"

At this, Spider's eyes widened. He looked back from his chair and saw that the detective blonde brat was just by the door, twirling some hand cuffs around his finger.

Saguru Hakuba smirked. "Hello, Spider." He chuckled, then ran up to him with a furious look on his face. The handcuffs were still by his hands.

Alerted, Spider quickly stood up from the chair and fished upon his coat. He pulled out a smoke bomb and threw it at the ground as soon as the detective got near.

Smoke filled the air as Hakuba wandered aimlessly around the room, trying to find out where Spider is right now. "Spider!" He called out, eyebrows furrowed. "Spider, get out of here!"

As soon as the smoke dissipated, Hakuba looked around again, and frowned when he saw that Spider wasn't inside the room anymore. He sighed in defeat and walked up to the table, seeing that the laptop he had wasn't there anymore.

It was replaced by a tarot card, which was simply laying on the platform.

Saguru raised an eyebrow, picking up the card and examining it. It had a picture of a heart, having a lot of scars all around it, and it was bleeding. Saguru trailed down the picture to the text below it.

"See you in your worst nightmare, Hakuba-san." - Spider

The blonde Brit flinched in annoyance, slipping the tarot card inside his pocket. He took one last look at the room before heading outside, ready to head home.

The rain was still pouring down upon him, still quite strong, though a bit weaker than the downpour a while ago. He took out the card once again and stared at it.

What did the bleeding heart mean? Sure, it must have been about him, but he didn't have some heart disease, so it wouldn't make sense to him at all.

...Had it not been for the needles that were surrounding the heart, which he just noticed right now, then it made some sense to him right now.

Hakuba sighed as he slipped the card back inside his pocket again. He would have to take care of this tomorrow. The detective is quite tired, so he needed to take a rest.

But he isn't going to give up on trying to catch Spider.

Little did he know, Spider was planning something more sinister for him.
