Chapter 2

The stairs creaked slightly under the weight of Conan sleepily walking down them, heading to the kitchen where he could hear someone cooking food. He walked up to the kitchen doorway and pushed it open, seeing Kaito and Shinichi in there.
"Morning," Conan said, walking in and covering a yawn which his hand.

Kaito looked up from the stove where he had been watching a pair of pans, one containing sausages and the other some eggs "Ah, good morning!" He said, with far more energy than should be allowed at this time in the morning."
"Morning," Shinichi muttered, not taking his eyes off the coffee machine in front of him which seemed to be nearly done.
Kaito sighed at Shinichi then turned back to the pans, "Did you sleep well?"

Conan looked to the coffee machine, "I guess," He muttered before yawning again and walking next to Shinichi in front of the machine "Need coffee to give a decent reply..."
Kaito rolled his eyes, "I guess some things just don't change…"

The machine beeped and Shinichi pulled out the pot, smiling slightly at the strong smell coming from it. He pulled over a cup and proceeded to pour out a cup of coffee for himself, and seeing that there was still enough for another cup he poured out a second cup which he offered to Conan "Want a cup?"
Conan nodded and took the cup gratefully, "Yeah, thanks," He walked over to the table, taking a big gulp of the hot coffee while he sat down.

Kaito then reached over and got out a small pile of plates, turning a dial on the front of the stove making its heat pads turn from a bright red down until they were black.
Conan raised an eyebrow, "One question," He said,
"Only one?" Kaito asked, grinning cheekily
Conan looked at him with a deadpan, "When my brain functions you'll get more." He said, then he pointed at the stove "What's with the fireless stove?"

Shinichi looked at his stove, then to Conan, then he looked down as if he was ashamed "I…I'm…" He muttered in a quiet voice "I'm….I'mscaredoffire" He rushed his words out, resulting in an odd slur that Conan wasn't quite sure how he was able to understand it,
Kaito raised his eye brows, "I'm not sure he understood you~" He said teasingly, earning the king of all death glares from Shinichi.

Conan raised his eyebrows, "Go figure, guess there's going to be a lot more that's different here," He said taking another gulp of his coffee.

"Not my fault…" Shinichi muttered, still embarrassed, "Fires a killer,"
Conan smiled, "I know," He said, none teasingly "Though I could walk through it and still be alive... Well, not exactly alive... It's hard to explain." He trailed off then finished off his cup,

Kaito poked the food slightly with his cooking spoon then took a plate off the pile, "Yes about that...if it's not too an awkward question, how did you...meet such an untimely death? If it's not too private to ask..." He said, not wanting to upset or offend him.
Conan sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Ahh, I was poisoned to death with some kind of experimental drug," He explains, Kaito and Shinichi listening closely, "I had seen an illegal trade between a man in black, Vodka, and another man that sold illegal weapons. The man's associate, Gin, saw me and knocked me out from behind. Then he poisoned me, and to make sure they placed a bomb afterwards."

Kaito blinked a few times, then turned to the pan which he tilted and nudges the sausages inside it onto a plate with his spoon.
Shinichi however was frowning in thought, "Gin? Sounds like the guys after us, they seem to like alcohol," He then reached over to the plates, which Kaito had just put the eggs on, and picked two of the plates up.
"Ah yes!" Kaito said, "There's Snakebite, and that person Brandy who was killed by his own when he nearly spoke to us at that heist..."
Shinichi stiffened at the mention of Brandy, and put a plate down in front of Conan, his eyes shadowed by his hair.

Conan picked up a fork, "That means the Black Organisation is operative here too. I don't know Snakebite, though I heard of someone called snake before, but I know Brandy, he died in my world too when he found out Vermouth, orArden, as we call her, was helping me to bring them down." He frowned thoughtfully, "What did Brandy do here?"

"H-He tried to kill me, got a good stab to my shoulder." Shinichi muttered, pulling down the left side of his shirt to show the badly healed scar, the flesh still an off purple colour around the edge and the main of it a sensitive looking pink, it had clearly got infected during the time it had to heal, "I caught him up in a net though and I tried to get him to say who he's working for, but someone was watching with a sniper and shot him when he was about to talk. Probably snakebite,"

Conan pulled a small face at the scar, "That's nasty, "He muttered as Shinichi let go of the shirt so it was covered again, "And a sniper you say? It could have been Chianti or Korn… or even Gin, that guy is very good with a gun." He muttered, his eyes darkening, then he frowned again, "But I wonder. I was with Ran in tropical land when I got killed… Shinichi, did you ever solve a case where a man's head got chopped off in a rollercoaster?"

Shinichi looked at Conan, his eye twitching slightly, "Luckily no," He then thought for a moment, "Ah! There was one time Ran wanted to go to some park as her 'reward for karate championship', but I had a magic show on the same day so I told her I couldn't and invited her to come down and watch, she made me take her the next week though…"
Conan smiled, "You were lucky then, that must have been the day it happened to me."

Shinichi stared then poked his egg with his fork while Kaito let out a low whistle. "Wow, close call…"

They fell into a small silence as they ate their eggs, Conan eventually looking up at Kaito and Shinichi, "Say, have you two always been close?" He asked curiously

Kaito grinned and leaned over to Shinichi, wrapping an arm around his neck "My dad and Shin-Chan's dad are brothers, they visited each other all the time so we basically grew up with each other~" He said happily.
Shinichi rolled his eyes but didn't make a move to remove Kaito's arm, "When my dad wanted to become an author he used the pen name 'Yuusaku Kudou' instead of his real name 'Yuusaku Kuroba' because the Kuroba's are famous magicians and he wanted his books to be seen as someone different to the family." He looked down, "When Kai's dad was...killed...he took the name 'Kudou' full time and went into temporary hiding, to keep us safe from them..."

Conan frowned while cutting into a sausage, "Brothers huh? Weird... Not to sound rude, but where I come from the only times I heard of you, Kaito, is when Toichi told me how much I look like you. I also heard from him once that my father was his half-brother, not his brother..."
Kaito unwrapped his arm from Shinichi's neck and sat back down, "Ahh, a life without me," He muttered, shuddering slightly,
"I must admit, it would be quite dull" Shinichi agreed

Conan smirked, "Hey, I survived. Besides, I had a hyperactive Sonoko around me, Ran kicking me with her Karate. And dad always taking me to crime scenes, teaching me how to shoot, fly helicopters and small planes, drive cars, what not? I also had a lot of cases thanks to Megure... And fans, I was stalked by them! And afterwards I had my duties as a Grim Reaper, not exactly a dull thing." Conan pushed away his now empty plate,
Shinichi raised his eyebrows "...So basically, minus Kai and the whole dying thing, we had the same life."

Kaito sniggered, "Oh you should hear Sonoko, she rants about how she wants Phantom to…" Kaito smirked again and then said in a perfect copy of Sonoko's voice, " 'fly down and sweep me off my feet away from this dull life'" Kaito stopped and grinned at Shinichi.
Shinichi glared, then smirked at his cousin "Or.." Then he said, also in a perfect imitation of Sonoko, "For KID-Sama to swoop down and steal my heart in a passionate kiss'"

Conan laughed as Kaito glared lightly at Shinichi "That sounds like Sonoko. You seriously don't want to stand next to her during a heist." He said, then he pointed at his ear, "I'm still deaf on this side from last time."
"Try standing next to Nakamori while in disguise, I couldn't hear for a week," Shinichi moaned,
"Or when he lights his pipe with a match~" Kaito said grinning evilly.

"Been through both," Conan said, raising an eyebrow when Shinichi threw the morning newspaper at Kaito who swiftly ducked under the table. "They kind of accepted me on the team for when a heist comes up... since I seem to be the only one actually nearly catching KID sometimes." He smiled apologetically "But if things are the same there as here, maybe I should ask the other Kaito to work together..."

Kaito popped his head up again "I would help!~" He then ducked again as a bunch of juggling balls were thrown by a still angry Shinichi. He then came up again, "So I guess the other me would!" He finished before ducking again as a rubber chicken was thrown.
Conan raised his eyebrows as Shinichi continued to throw things at where Kaito was hiding, then he glanced at his watch, "Don't you two have school or something? It's getting quite late already."

Shinichi stopped in mid throw, holding a plushie rabbit, and glanced at a clock hanging off the kitchen wall, "…Damn it! I'm going to be late!" He threw the plushie down then ran out of the room as fast as he could, speeding up the stairs.
Kaito looked up from behind the table and smirked, shouting after Shinichi, "Ha-ha, serves you right!" He then stood up and dusted himself off, then he looked at Conan, "My schools on an inset day, teachers only."
Conan nodded, "Ah, so that leaves just the two of us then...

Kaito walked around, picking up the juggling balls and making them 'poof' away before picking up another object that Shinichi had thrown at him "I hope we didn't wake those two up just then…" he muttered

As Kaito put away the last object Toichi walked into the kitchen grinning, "Nah, I was already awake and Masago is a tight sleeper, so he won't wake up for a while." He said, yawning then sitting down.
"Dad!" Kaito stared for a moment, still not used to the thought, then he moved over to the stove and picked up a plate "Ahh, here's some breakfast!" He said, sitting down and putting the plate in front of Toichi.

Toichi smiled at Kaito "Ah thanks," He said before taking a bite of it "I was thinking... Do you want to do something today, I heard you don't have school."
"And what about me?" Conan added.

Kaito leaned back and swung on his chair "Well, Well, we could look around Beika... Or, sort out you guys' identities, I'm getting quite good at hacking... Or you can help me get mine and Shin-Chan's show ready for tonight, a completely legal one of course."
Conan sighed "I think I'll take a walk around Beika, see if there are differences with the Beika I know, maybe even take a glance at Teitan High," He stood up,
"I guess we'll see you later then. For now Kaito and I will take care of our identities first." Toichi said, then he turned to Kaito "And then I can help you with the show for tonight. I'd love to see how you work." He said smiling.

Kaito grinned at his dad, then his chair fell back as a scrunched up dishcloth was thrown in his face. Toichi and Conan turned to Shinichi as Kaito's chair his the floor with a clatter and Shinichi was deadpanning, "Kai, stop swinging on my chairs, you'll mark the floor," He said before running out, "I'm late now, see you later Toichi-Occhan. And you too Conan" He shouted back before closing the door behind him.

"For once I don't mind missing on school. Imagine them seeing me there... I'd be questioned to death!" Conan said shivering "I don't want to go through that again"
Toichi sighed as he put his fork down on his empty plate "You have to, strange people around always raise questions."

Kaito pulled himself back standing up after untangling the dishcloth from around his head "Well, we could just say you're our cousin, people won't bother you so much. And if they do, you can just get Shin-Chan to turn their hair blue!" Kaito said grinning.
Conan frowned "No thanks, I'd rather be answering questions." He then turned around and walked to the door "Well, I'm off then!"
"Will you be ok on your own?" Kaito asked after him, not mockingly

Toichi smiled and turned to Kaito as the front door shut "He'll be fine. Now, in the meantime, shall we hack some computers?"
Kaito grinned at him "It's in the library, come one I'll show you!" He said bouncing out of his seat.
Toichi raised his eyebrow after him "This house has a library?"

Toichi followed Kaito along the hallway and Kaito pushed open the doors to the library. Toichi couldn't help but let out an impressed whistle as he looked around "Impressive,"
Kaito looked back and grinned, everyone seemed to act like that first time. He pointed to the far wall, "All those are the books Yuusaku-Occhan has wrote, the rest are all detective books, but there are some Lupin books around..." He looked at a painting hanging in between some shelves "And of course there's the Phantoms lair entrance, it works the same as the one to the KID lair."

"Interesting." Toichi said looking around "I remember that Yuusaku used to chase me at KID heists. It always made the heist a bit more exciting, though I already had Snake on my back because I didn't want to give him Pandora."
"I've had Shin-Chan chase me once, before we both found out about each other's secrets... Much prefer him being on my side"
Toichi laughed "Yeah, but your Shin-Chan actually knows how to change the colour of someone's hair. Mine doesn't even want to consider learning it."
Kaito chuckled "Oh he'll do it, but he doesn't let people know he did it,"

"Some things won't change" Toichi said smirking, "Now, show me your computer and I'll see if I can still hack like I used to." He said smiling the infamous KID grin.
Kaito reached over to the deck and picked up a laptop, carrying it over to the chairs, "Be my guest~" He said smiling as he passed it to him.

There was the sound of clicking keys for a short while as Toichi opened up the needed sites, "Right, let's see," He muttered before starting to hack into the system, he then stopped and smirked confidently "Is it just me or has the security gotten worse?"
Kaito shrugged grinning "Maybe their better where you came from?"
"Could be," He muttered opening up some information boxes, "First Shin-Chan, I'll try to give him as much history as possible," He then grinned "And use the fact we could be father and son... Okay, that's that! Now Masago." He muttered under his breath as he filled out the rest of the boxes.

"And, done!" He turned around grinning and gave the closed laptop to Kaito "I think that's all, now, show me some of your tricks!"
Kaito grinned back at his dad, "Only if you show me some in return!"


Black Phantom: Poor Kai, Shin-Chan's using him as a target *shakes head*

Juria: And Conan isn't annoyed by it... A miracle happened (lately everything seems to annoy him!)

Black Phantom: So we have a grumpy Co-Chan and a 'playful' Shin-Chan (well, more playful than in the show)... how long will the house stay standing 0_o

Conan: Especially with Toichi on the loose and Masago who will just watch as it happens? (Nightmare D8)
