Author's note: So, yeah, my finals are (FINALLY) over. And my dear and awesome friend She Who Loves Drabbles decided that graduating and leaving high school was grand enough an occasion to deserve a challenge, so she asked for a story. In, unsurprisingly, drabbles. ('A full eighteen of them and updated at least every two days.')
Okay.
So here you are. A beginning. Which, hopefully, will be carried out to an end. Hope you'll like it, minna.
Disclaimer: I can only dream.
Warnings: This is an AU, so both the main characters will probably have darker personalities… and the rating will probably raise a little a few chapters down the line.

All in all, the decision to enter the KID Task Force was among the best you could make.
Nalamori-keibu thinks you a nice, hard-working young man, well-devoted to the capture of the godforsaken phantom thief, and you're already perfectly integrated amongst the members of the force, who admire your magic tricks and challenge you to be a match to KID's. You laugh then, and they don't understand why.
But you've learned long ago that developing an attachment is the nearest step to being weakened, and being weak is the nearest step to having lost, and the risk of actually developing an attachment is close to nought in this bunch of fools. The very best decision you could make.
Still, you have to disarm Hakuba's nagging suspicions every time you meet at a heist; the brit detective is starting to become annoying with his constant implications and double-meanings. You'd have to find a way to throw his doubts back and forth on other people…
You're still deep in thought when you open the door to Nakamori's office. "Asked to see me, keibu?"
A young woman is standing inside the room with her back at you. Behind the desk, Nakamori stand up, a genial smile on. "Aah, Kaito-kun! Glad you could make it so fast – here's your long-awaited partner finally arrived. Meet my daughter."
The young woman turns, revealing chocolate-brown hair and blue eyes that for no obvious reason steal the breath right out of you. "Hello," she says. "My name is Nakamori Aoko – nice to meet you."
And it's like falling down without a word.

(sara-chan happily off on a diet of cookies and fanfiction) with luck, I'll be actually updating every two days. Writing a drabble a day (and continuing Gem's Entry and working on Lawyer's Problem) should not be too difficult… still. Any cookies? x3
