Chapter 1

Footsteps echoed through the night, as a boy and two men ran through an ally in to the open fields of Beika Park. They were following a heavily panting, nearly invisible man that seemed to be terribly wounded. Running for his life, the man tripped over and fell down on his knees.

"Ugh." The soul clutched its chest and looked up at the teenage boy that stopped next to him, the blood that once seeped down the wound on his left temple still covering his unusual pale face. "What happened, where am I?" the soul said with a hollow voice, half choking on his own words. He buried his face in his palm while a series of coughs escaped from his throat and shook his head in fright and confusion, his eyes closed shut.

"I'm sorry Taijiro-Kun." Shinichi bend forward to catch the soul's eyes and smiled sadly. "You're dead now." Taijiro opened his eyes and widened them as he saw him and pointed his finger at him, trying to move away from him.

"Y-you, you are Kudou Shinichi." He said, his voice squeaking. "You… You are supposed to be dead!" His shock was followed by another series of coughs and his finger traced the slit on his neck. His body was shaking with fear as he lifted his hand covered in blood. "I'm dead." It was just a whisper, but Shinichi could clearly hear it.

Masago coughed once to get the attention on him and Toichi. "Yes you are, Taijiro, and so are we." He gave Taijiro a look that made him cringe, his eyes wide with fear and his body trembling.

"Oh, calm down a bit." Toichi gave him a joyful smile. "You can stay frightened all the time, but the last soul that ran away from us turned in to mist." He made a poof motion with his hands and laughed loudly when he saw the fear on Taijiro's face increase. "Just kidding, really, nothing will happen to you."

Shinichi placed his hand on Taijiro's shoulder and gave Masago and Toichi an angry glare. "Don't listen to those two, they are idiots." He smiled kindly at the shaking man. "Now, let's make you cross over, huh?"

He stood up and stretched out his hand to the man so he could stand up. Taijiro only stared at his hand in fright, like it could rip him in to pieces with one motion. Shinichi sighed and shook his head, placing his hand in his pocket. "Then I guess you don't want to be reunited with your wife and daughter." He turned around when a hand grabbed his wrist.

"They-They are there? At the other side?" Shinichi looked over his shoulder into Taijiro's eyes, which were filled with a kind of hope and also with an immense sadness. Shinichi smiled and nodded, again holding out his hand to pull the man up to his feet.

"Yes they are, and they are waiting for you." He said and as he said it, a bright light appeared. Taijiro's eyes grew wide when he saw it, and they started to fill with tears as he pulled himself up, his body trembling as he slowly walked over to it, stretching out his hand.

"Maya." She whispered, as smile creeping up his pale and wounded face. "Maya, Sayuri, I'm coming!" His voice became thin and his hand started to disappear as he slowly dissolved in the light. When he was gone, Shinichi sighed and turned around walking back to where Toichi and Masago were standing.

Masago smiled and patted Shinichi's shoulder. "You did well, as usual." Shinichi crossed his arms looking at him impatiently. Masago chuckled and lifted his eyebrow up at this. "You think you shouldn't have scared him like that, do you?" He grinned and put his hands in his pockets.

"Of course not!" Shinichi said angrily. "Making his dead worse than it is isn't what we're here for! I thought YOU would know that, but apparently you're starting to forget things!" He stared at Masago and growled softly when he saw he was grinning.

Toichi smiled in return. "Well well." He said, patting Shinichi's head who glanced at him like he could kill him. "We can't expect something else from Hatano-San, it's who he is!" Masago lifted an eyebrow and shrugged, looking at the light that still hadn't disappeared. The other two followed his glance.

"It makes you wonder why it's still here, huh?" Toichi walking over to Masago and looking over his shoulder. "Worried eve-" He was interrupted by a high pitched noise, making the three Grim Reapers covered their ears.

"What the hell!" Masago stared at the light that started to pulsate, making the leaves of the trees and the grass move in what seemed an invisible wind. Suddenly Shinichi yelled in surprise as he felt like someone was pulling him to it, giving a terrified look at Masago and Toichi, who were struggling with the unknown force themselves, their faces covered with shock, though Toichi tried to hide it with his poker face. They gave each other a worried look and Masago growled as the force of the pull became stronger and stronger, his face covered with pain. Toichi lost his footing and fell. He dug his fingers in to the ground, trying to get a hold, but it had no effect. With a scream he disappeared in to the light, leaving scratch marks behind in the earth.

"Toichi, no!" Shinichi said, stretching his hand out in the hope he could catch his friend and immediately doubled over from the pain the high pitched noise caused. He stared at Masago in shock, hoping at least they wouldn't be sucked in. Masago's yell filled the air as the man was lifted up and disappeared too. "Masago!" Shinichi screamed and cursed as he fall forward, following Toichi and Masago in to the warmth and emptiness of the pulsating light.

Then there was nothing, only the warmth of the light that blinded his eyes. It took a while before he started to notice something. The noise, it had stopped, that is all his mind could register except for the feeling the floor against his cheek and the sound voices coming near. Voices! Maybe someone that could help him! Shinichi groaned softly, trying to move, to scream for help, but his body wouldn't let him. He closed his eyes, cursing himself as he felt his consciousness slipping away, his mind turning blank.

KID and Phantom laughed loudly as they ran down the corridor, the thunder of the entire taskforces feet not far behind. They stopped and split down two different corridors forcing the taskforce to choose between them,
"Inspector!" Hakuba shouted to Nakamori "You and the even numbered taskforce members follow KID. The odd numbered and I will go after Phantom!"
Nakamori nodded, not wanting to waste any time lecturing Hakuba for ordering him around.
Seeing the nod of confirmation, Hakuba turned quickly followed by half of the taskforce and whet after the flash of black cape that had just slipped around the corner.

Hakuba knew that the one under the Phantom was Shinichi Kudou, and of the death of Toichi Kuroba, but by keeping the taskforce close to them they would be protected from this, 'organization' who were trying to kill them. And maybe a small part of Hakuba was annoyed that even when he did try to, he still couldn't catch the cousins.

The taskforce ran around another corner, still chasing Phantom and they almost collided with the wall. When turning the corner they almost crashed into the other half who also came skidding round,
"Idiots!" Nakamori bellowed "You're meant to be catching Phantom! What are you doing here?"
"It seems that the corridors connect into a circle," Hakuba explained, looking around.

Eventually he noticed them, but far too late. Up on a support beam across the roof, KID and Phantom where grinning down at them while dropping some small capsules. Hakuba didn't even have time to pull something out to cover his mouth before they hit the ground and exploded, spreading their gas all over the men below. The last thing Hakuba saw before his eyes closed into a deep sleep was Phantom…Shinichi grinning down on him with that grin.

Once the last ones fell to the ground, Phantom and KID jumped down into the middle of them and went through some of their pockets, pulling out IDs and writing down details for future heists. KID nodded to Phantom and the two of them silently moved to the window.

Phantom reached out and grabbed the safety rail then lowered himself to the ground, when his feet hit the ground he was wearing his Shinichi Kudou outfit. He glanced up as Kaito stopped next to him,
"You still got it?"
Kaito nodded and patted his arm where one of his countless pockets where, "It's safe, we can look at it when we get to yours. It's only down here to the entrance right?"

Shinichi nodded and turned to leave, then stopped and turned around as something behind them, like a soft groan followed by movement. Kaito spun around as well, both looking for the person. If it was a hidden guard, or anyone at all it was big trouble, they would have seen them changing from KID and Phantom into Kaito and Shinichi.

Shinichi held up his hand and pointed with two fingers, signaling to Kaito to move around the garbage cans. Kaito nodded and silently moved on top of it and carefully looked over,
"Shinichi, come here." Kaito said urgently.

Shinichi quickly walked over, worried about what had Kaito worried, and looked around. Slumped against a wall where three people, all seeming to be unconscious. Two men and a boy, likely the same age as him and Kaito.
Shinichi knelt down and held his hand in front of the youngest ones nose, "His breathings steady, but I don't think they're going to get up right away," Shinichi muttered, "We should take them back to the Phantoms base to make sure they're ok."

Kaito frowned "I can understand about being worried, but is it safe to take them back to the base?"
Shinichi shrugged as he stood up, gently picking up the boy in his arms "If they do try anything then just let loose the sleeping gas and we can dump them outside again."
Kaito nodded and looked down at the men, they wouldn't be able to take all three down at the same time, "Then you take him down first. I'll wait with these two and you can come back and we'll take these down."

Shinichi nodded then walked away, holding the boy carefully in his arms while casting his eye over his body for any visible damage,
'He doesn't look like he's been hit,' He thought, 'I wonder how he managed to get in this state, and whoever did it managed to get the other two men as well…'

Shinichi continued to ponder this as he reached a dumpster and gently used his foot to move a bolt along its ledge up. There was a click and a door slid down leading to a staircase. Shinichi moved along it quickly into the now very familiar Black Phantom base. He looked around then gently set the person down on an old couch that had taken up residence there recently. He took out his Black Phantom outfit and placed the suit hat and monocle in the cupboard folded his cape up placing it under the boys head for a cushion 'Well, the cape doesn't give anything away so I don't think he'll figure out I'm Phantom…'

Once sure he was going to be ok Shinichi quickly turned and ran out of the doorway, taking the steps two at a time and bolting out of the dumpster almost running into the door as he didn't give it time to fully open. Once out he moved down the alley and got back to Kaito as soon as he could, worried about leaving the boy alone for too long.

Kaito glanced up and seeing Shinichi he picked one of the men up, frowning in determination slightly as he felt the grown mans weight,
"Better get back quick," He groaned out to Shinichi who was picking up the second one.
Shinichi nodded quickly and they moved back down the alley again, going as quick as they could without risking waking or dropping their burdens.

Not much longer and they were sitting the men down on some chairs, carefully looking them over for injuries,
"These two are ok," Kaito said to Shinichi, "How was he?"

Shinichi looked over to the boy who was still on the couch, "He was fine when I glanced him over," He muttered, walking to him and leaning over to get a closer look at his head if there was any bleeding.

As he leaned to him, his forehead suddenly wrinkled and his eyes tightened. Shinichi stared as his eyes slowly opened, eyes with a color Shinichi recognized from them looking back at him every time he looked into a mirror. His eyes slowly case around the room, still confused and lost from only just waking, then they settled on Shinichi's worried face looking down on him.

Shinichi gently put a hand on his shoulder, "Hey there, you alright?"
The boy stared at him, as if he as in shock. Then he reached out and grabbed Shinichi by his cheek pulling on the skin, "…N-No way," He whispered weakly to himself.
Shinichi pulled back, rubbing his cheek, more from confusion than hurt "Oi oi, what was that for?

Kaito snickered "Reminds me of a certain inspector," he said too quiet for the boy to hear.
"You don't mean Nakamori by chance?" Kaito spun around to the two men, the one who had spoken was sitting up and rubbing his head while the other was groaning as he woke,
"Err yeah! You see him do it all the time at heists at the entrance."

The boy looked over at them "KID?"
"He's still active," The man looked to them while the other still remained silent, looking over the two boys with an odd piercing look.
Kaito nodded "Yeah, we found you guys all unconscious not far from the KID and Phantom heist. We thought you guys were watching them."

The boy seemed not impressed by the idea "Why would I? It's all smoke and mirrors used to fool people into seeing lies,"
The man looked at him "Magic is an art,"
Shinichi nodded, instinctively jumping to his and his cousins craft, "He's right, magic can help people forget that impossibilities of the world and lose themselves in it."

The man looked over to Shinichi, smiling slightly "I agree my friend," He made a movement with his hand and a thorn less rose appeared in it, "Though magic is what you say, Conan-Kun, magic can also enlighten the hearts of people." He leaned over to Shinichi and held out the rose to him, "No, we were not here for the heist, as we have no idea how we got here. And who is this Phantom, if I may ask?"
Shinichi stared at the offered rose then took it, "Kaitou KID and Black Phantom, the moonlight thieves."
"Everyone knows them, aren't you from around here?" Kaito asked, tilting his head.
The until then silent man turned his piercing eyes to Kaito, "That is none of your business," He said, making Kaito shift uncomfortably under his gaze.

The other man smirked, "But I must say It's nice to meet the Kudou Shinichi and of course, Kuroba Kaito," He then pulled several brightly colored balls out of nowhere and began to juggle them, "Or should I say, Black Phantom and Kaitou KID?"

Instinctively, the two cousins pulled their poker faces tightly on, Shinichi looking on blankly while Kaito grinned,
"KID? Phantom? As much as I'd love to take credit for his great works of magic we are mere amateurs in comparison."
Shinichi nodded " Of course, course, something as full scale as them are like a goal for small magicians like us."

Kaito then turned to the standing man, "Anyway, shouldn't you introduce yourselves? We are at a disadvantage with you knowing us. Though I can understand how you know detective Shinichi over there I am quite interested to know how you know me."
The boy was still muttering something under his breath as the man turned to him again. Then, starting small before spreading widely over his face, a grin that Kaito and Shinichi recognized as their own that they wore each time they went out as KID or Phantom, "Oh, but you already know me." He said the grin now all over his face.

Kaito gasped, the face reminding him of someone long gone. He frowned at the man, his playfulness now gone, "What are your names!"
The quiet man stood up, still looking around with that look of his, "I am Hatano Masago, 36." He smiled then looked to the other two, "As to those two, you could tell them or keep it a secret, only we understand, after all."
Shinichi frowned then turned to the boy on the couch who had sighed, "I'll start with saying I'm Edogawa Conan, 17," He sighed again, heavily "And I'm a detective"

The other laughed slightly, "I'm Edogawa Kousuke, magician extraordinaire."
Conan looked at him and raised an eyebrow "I thought at least you would tell,"
Kousuke only shrugged and continued his juggling.

Shinichi sighed "Well, even if you already know our names,"

Kaito glanced at Kousuke again, still frowning slightly, but joined Shinichi in a bow, "Kaito Kuroba. Magician."
"Shinichi Kudou. Magician," Shinichi straightened himself up and smirked playfully, "And detective."

Conan looked down, unamused by the cousins' behavior, "Now what? We are lost with no place to go." He muttered, his eyes filled with hurt. He closed them and sighed, "Where are Ruri, Mine and Arden when you need them?"
Shinichi looked over at him, worried by how much this was upsetting him "How far do you live, we might be able to take you?"

Kousuke barked a laugh "Ah, there you say something!" He said, making the juggling balls explode into a rain of glitter.
Masago looked at Shinichi "We are not from this world,"

Kaito blinked in confusion, sure he had hear him wrong "C-Come again?"
Conan nodded "You heard him right,"

Shinichi frowned then raised an eyebrow as Kaito turned and opened his mouth about to say something, "Don't say Akako," He warned.
Kaito pouted, "But she's proof that it's real!"
Shinichi rolled his eyes "Just because her magic was real does not make everything real by default…"

Masago grinned evilly, "Brought in to another dimension, caught between life and death,"
"Searching for lost souls," Kousuke added,
"And helping them to peace." Conan finished, then staring at the other two, "Are we done yet? We still have to find out how to get back."

Kaito looked to Shinichi "Shin-Chan?" He asked, looking for his approval.
Shinichi sighed, he needed to have this all figured out before he made a decision, "Ok, first Kousuke-san, what made you think me and Kaito are the moonlight thieves?" He asked, casting his eyes around to make sure that all items were hidden away, biting his tongue when he noticed the folded Phantom cape that Conan had been resting on.
Kousuke smirked, a smirk which seemed to scratch at buried memories at the back of Shinichi's mind "Simple, Grim Reapers tend to know a lot."
Shinichi wasn't to be distracted, "Any form of proof?"

Kousuke raised an eyebrow then glanced around, "Conan, hand me that pillow."
"What?" Conan glanced down at the folded cape he had been resting his head on before he had woke. He picked it up and held it out to Kousuke who took it and unfolded it so it hit the floor.
"Care to explain this then," He asked raising his eyebrows, "But that's only the first point. As for the second, I was the first KID in my world." He then held up his hands which after a small poof held the white Kaitou KID hat and monocle which he then placed on Kaito smiling softly, "And just like in my world, my son took over the role here."

Kaito stared, his poker face nowhere I sight. He then lowered his head and pulled on the brim of his hat so his eyes where hidden, "T...Then…are you…"
"T-Toichi-Occhan," Shinichi breathed, now able to see his uncle under the man before him.

Toichi smiled sadly at Kaito "Ah, you're going to cry now?" He asked then laughed, but the laugh was clearly forced and fake. "Yes I am, though I am surprised you didn't recognize me sooner, where I come from everybody asks me if I'm related to myself." He then cast his eyes over to Conan, "Same goes for Shin-Chan here. He looks so much like you," He looked to Shinichi " That Megure's first thought was he'd come back to life when he saw him."
Masago stared at the other two, "I'm so old I have great-grandchildren…" He then laughed "Guess I'm the only one here that has nobody left."

Shinichi took his eyes off his uncle and looked at Conan in surprise "Y-You're me?"
Conan looked up at him, nodding "Get why I pinched you now?"

Kaito was still silent and Toichi looked at him sadly, he then reached out and hugged his son who stiffened "I always wondered how it would be to have another minute to talk to you. And not having to worry you'd know who I really am." He pulled back, still keeping his hands on Kaito and looked into his eyes under the hat, "And even though I know I have to leave you eventually, I still told you."
Kaito looked up at him and the last of his poker face fell away, "D-Dad!" He lunged forwards and held him tightly, not wanting to ever let go to the man he thought he had lost long ago.

Conan looked away from the father and son, wanting to give them somewhat more privacy "So, now what?"
Masago looked to him "We look for a place to stay."

"You can stay here for a while if you want." Shinichi offered "Mum and Dad don't come here so it's just me..."
Masago nodded, "We would appreciate that." He glanced over to the still hugging father and son, Kaito's shoulders where moving in a way that betrayed his tears, "And maybe we should let those two stay together, I think they have a lot to talk about."

Shinichi nodded and pointed to a corridor which lead to his upstairs landing and the three of them moved to it.
Conan glanced up to Masago and smirked, "You know, Masago, you really have your moments."
Masago looked at him "Don't tell anyone."
Conan shrugged "You know me," he then pulled on Shinichi's shoulder "Is there any chance we can celebrate his birthday tomorrow?" He asked,
Shinichi blinked a few times, then grinned the infamous grin "Just leave it to me and Kaito~."

BlackPhantom: Juria-chan did the wonderful opening, I did the midway heist, then we both role-played the scene after Conan woke which I typed out.
