A/N: Part of my June 31 days fic challenge. I'll be bouncing around fandoms depending what the theme requires.
People never seemed to understand how hard it was conjuring oneself out of zilch.
Hakuba for example: he had all sorts of opinions on the tricks that Kaito used to achieve it, both in and out of KID garb.
Mirrors, smoke, tricks, everything a magician had ever used and then some.
When Kaito did use the generic magic tricks, Hakuba was the first to explain it away, and then when it wasn't your run of the mill trick he still used the same explanations.
It really wasn't all that fair, to either Kaito's pride or Hakuba's mind.
Akako had some sort of understanding, which he might have accepted if she wasn't so spooky whenever she hung about him.
She'd make all sorts of hints, innuendos, and even she seemed to think it was nothing more than a simple "poof" and he was there.
No finesse that one.
Aoko?
We'll she'd just hit him over the head or ignore him or yell… depending where he decided to "poof into."
Personally he doubted if she even noticed.
Even his father, his loving, adoring father who should have understood the situation had held little compassion for his son's conjuring.
Rather he'd have scolded him, shoved him back down into oblivion, or more often than not conjure him right back to where he started.
It really wasn't fair.
Especially when you managed to teleport yourself in the school utility closet (again) and had to wait for either Aoko or Hakuba to open it up and let you out (knowing his luck), and worse neither would understand just how many hours you had to spend practicing that particular nuance of the spell (okay so he was suppose to land just outside the closet…)
He still wasn't sure how he was going to explain his pajamas.
…..and people didn't think he studied.
Nope.
Life was really not fair.
