A/N I know it's been a while and I've gotten more ideas for this story recently but first I'm going to combine a few chapters and edit them (don't worry Chapter 10/ the new Chapter 6 is on it's way and is going to be longer than ever for all the time you guys have waited for this, if you are still waiting that is. Please R&R
Hakuba was walking home since he didn't want to wake up his driver. Plus, he needed to think and he always thinks better while walking. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a flash of white in the darkness, and the KID Killer, Conan Edogawa. Hakuba got curious and approached the grade-schooler, who was silently listening to something in the alleyway.
"Conan-kun what are you doing here? Isn't it time for you to sleep?" Hakuba asks as he squats down to the kid's level.
"Oh! Hi, Hakuba-niisan!" The boy says looking up. "No, it's not time to go to bed yet… I just woke up after all.. It's only about 2 am."
"Two hours, one minute, and thirty seconds," Hakuba said out of habit "Anyway… What are you listening to, boy?"
"KID-kun seems to have found some trouble," Conan says as he points to the alleyway. "I'm listening so I can figure out who's been shooting at him."
"What have you found out so far, Conan-kun?" Hakuba asks. Conan may be a child but he has been very helpful in previous cases and- The thought was cut short when a loud scream of pain was heard and a sea of men ran out of the alley.
"KID," Conan whispered. When the last man dressed in black fled the scene, both detectives ran into the alley. Just in time to see Kaitou KID start to shrink.
Hakuba froze in his spot while Conan quickly pulled out his phone and called someone. The blonde overheard everything the kid was saying to that creepy girl in his group of friends who is very sarcastic and confusing… Much like the boy himself.
"Haibara" Conan says once the phone had picked up "We have another victim of the poison- KID- Yeah I know Insane…- Don't worry i got a plan for him…- He looks almost exactly like me if I wasn't- Yes he knows my true identity I thought I told you this when I asked him to- Yes I know it's 2 AM- Just get Agasa to drive you down here… Oh and we need to explain everything to Hakuba too- It's not my fault he had to be here just as KID was forced to swallow the pill!- I'm sure he can keep a secret better than Heiji. - Oi Oi…"
The kid soon closes the phone and sighs. He looked over at the londoner and puts his hand out for a shake.
"Nice to meet you I'm Kudo Shinichi High school Detective" Conan -Kudo- says like they have just met before switching tones "I'll explain everything to you once Agasa gets here… KID should be fine don't worry… At least you'll now know his identity" and flashing a child-like smile.
He still had that child persona on but Hakuba could only continue to stare in shock as Conan told him who he really was. A million questions were running in his head but none would be answered right this way as the two detectives heard a groan coming from the now miniature thief.
"Could you guys keep it down?" KID grumbled "Man Tantei-kun if I had known that coming like ya was like that I wouldn't have helped ya"
"You know that helping me is not the reason they fed you that… They think the drug will make you disappear without anyone caring like it did for me so just be glad you are the third person this has happened to KID"
"Does that mean I have to give up being me for awhile?"
"How the hell do you plan on being KID while you are a child Kuruba!" Hakuba says so the thief knows he's there.
"How many times have I told you? I AM NOT KID- I mean Kuruba"
"You've never told me you were not Kuruba. Kuruba has told me and Koizumi-san that he is not KID about 150 times however… Your little mess up makes it obvious that you are Kuruba. And what Conan-kun said about you looking like Kudo Shinichi is true. You hold a strong resemblance. Also the reason you keep wearing a monocle on your right eye, even though Scorpion has been caught, is not just because that is where it goes, but because Kuruba is blind in that eye"
Conan chuckled at Hakuba's deduction while KID stared at the other in disbelief
"Damn me and my good looks" Kaito mumbled and removed the now too big top hat and monocle from his head. "Fine you win"
With the monocle gone Conan could see the scars that surround the once covered eye. "Those look more like scars you get from a fire than glass"
"That's because I'm very good at using makeup… Plus Aoko wouldn't let me near sharp objects if I didn't do this… She did force me to stop doing my magic for a while though… That wasn't fun"
"It was the most fun I've had all year… until she gave you the okay to do Magic again" Hakuba says with a smirk "I'll make up a lie for your absence Kuroba-kun"
"Thanks Hakuba" Kaito mumbles as he tries to figure out what to tell Jii. "Tantei-kun can I borrow your phone? I left mine with my assistant" he says in his normal voice, which Conan couldn't help but be jealous about.
"Yeah... " he says handing KID a different phone than the one he used before "Here"
Hakuba new it was a different phone because he had placed the other phone in the right pocket and this was taken from the left.
"This is the one you use as Kudo right?" Kaito asks as he starts to text who ever he needed to.
"Yeah the number is untraceable too so you don't have to worry about the Black Organization finding it" Conan explained.
"Thank you Tantei-kun"
"Consider us even since you helped me with Ai"
"Okay… Oh I came up with a name for myself now that I am in this forum"
"Really what is it?"
"Edogawa Lupin"
"You're taking up the last name I am using? And you're naming yourself after a thief?... Wonder how Lupin III would feel about you using his name"
"You two could pretend to be brothers… You look alike after all" Hakuba mumbles though he does like watching the two 'twin' converse about their predicament. Besides he has too much on his mind right now. Like what he is going to tell Aoko about Kaito's sudden absence.
"That's what I was planning to do Hakuba" Kaito mumbles "We could pretend to be twins for now… Identical yet polar opposite twins"
"We are already polar opposites…" Conan mumbles "Alright… We'll be brothers… not like Conan talks to Ran about his family that much anyway. Since we are twins your birthday is now May 4th since that is the day I told Ran Conan's birthday was"
"Okay!" Kaito says happily and whistles as a dove lands on his head and two more on each shoulder "Think Neechan would mind if I bring three of my dove's with me? Jii-san says he'll take care of the other dozen… These three are just super attached to me"
"We took care of one of them for a case KID… I don't think she would mind"
"It's Lupin now Conan-kun"
"Whatever… They're here let's go… We can figure out the rest of your backstory later Okay Lupin?" Conan says as he starts out of the alley "Hope you like soccer 'cause you're going to become a member of the Detective Boys soon"
Kaito - Lupin groans loudly and trotted after the other, surprisingly not tripping over his now too big KID outfit. Hakuba follows after picking up the top-hat and monocle from the ground. As well as the card-gun.
"Hakuba-kun get in the passenger side" Professor Agasa says as Conan climbs into the back with KID following. The car was soon almost clouded by a smoke bomb when Kaito was given different clothes. Conan and Haibara quickly evacuated the vehicle as Kaito changes. Once the smoke cleared Kaito sitting happily in the middle with his KID outfit neatly folded next to him. He was wearing a light grey hoodie with dark blue jeans and blue sneakers, like Conan's red-ones.
"Give a little warning next time KID!" Conan growled through his teeth as he climbs back in. "Agasa you had to give him the extra shoes you had made for me?"
"It was the only shoes we had that would've fit him Kudo-kun" Ai explains as she follows Conan back into the car.
Hakuba couldn't help but let out a small laugh at the three shrunken teenagers.
"Gah! Hakuba's laughing! The end of the world is near!" Kaito says quickly in his, now even more, childish voice. That comment quickly made the London detective shut up and cast a glare at the other.
"Sorry I didn't quite get that. Was that a bean pod talking that I heard? Hmm?" he says just in spite of the other.
Three different death glares were thrown in his direction after he had said that so he quickly got into the seat Agasa had assigned him.
The drive to his mansion was nothing special. He listened to Conan and Ai explain their stories and repeatedly promised to keep this a secret. He also told Kaito what he was planning to tell Aoko and that was that his mom wanted him to start traveling with her. It wasn't that believable but it'll do. Considering his mother never really wanted to travel with Kaito in the first place.
"See you around Kuruba… you too Conan-kun" Hakuba says before he quickly heads inside so he can crash on his couch. He probably was not going to make it to his room. It's been a long and insane night.
Once Hakuba left the drive back was peaceful as the three' teens' discuss what they know about the Black talked until halfway through the ride when Ran called Conan to ask where he was. She had developed a habit of checking his room right when she got up, just in case.
"Moshi-Moshi? - Oh I'm in the car with Agasa-hakase" Conan says in explanation "Sorry I didn't wake you to tell you but my mom just called me at 2 am that my brother should be arriving soon- Oh yeah… must've slipped my mind to tell you that he was coming to live with us.. Sorry Ran-neechan... - Oh he couldn't come earlier 'cause Kāsan had a BIG fight with Tōsan and she had to win Lupin's costety back like she had to with me!- Kāsan said that since you guys have been so good to me she'd send him here - Oh He's been in New York for the past few years with Tōsan - So can he? It's been so long since I saw him- He brought three birds he has as pets too… Can he keep them?- Yeah he has a cage…- They're doves - Really well trained… Like the ones KID has!" God Conan hated pretending to be a child. "Thank you Ran-neechan! Don't worry about picking me up… Agasa-hakase is driving me home as we speak… We only have to make one stop… Need anything?- OKay I'll grab those on the way back… See you soon Ran-neechan."
"Good news?" Kaito and Haibara ask
"Yep.. She's letting you stay… You're sharing the new room I have since it's big enough for two… She seemed happy to have another kid around too…"
"Probably thinks you are too serious" Haibara says in a monotone voice
"Yeah whatever Haibara… We have to pick up fish after we get Kaito some clothes so it looks like he just arrived"
"Which means I can be as tired as I want to?" Kaito says "Good 'cause i stayed up all night and I want to sleep… Turn here… Wait… WE'RE PICKING UP FISH?" Kaito yells as he gave Agasa directions to his house so he can pick up a bird cage for his doves, some spare childlike clothes that are probably dusty, and to leave a note for Aoko
"Yes… What's wrong with fish?" Haibara asks as she noted how fearful Kaito looked and tried her best not to laugh.
"Nothing Absolutely nothing" he quickly said, trying to control his poker face.
"Then you won't mind choosing the fish right Lupin?" Conan says smirking slightly as Kaito stiffened and let out a little squeak.
"Who knew that the guy that makes the impossible possible is afraid of something as simple as fish" Haibara says smirking.
"S-shut up!" Kaito says looking away from the two evil kids "Those things are evil"
"Yeah yeah whatever KID" Conan says as the car pulls into the driveway of a house.
"Conan help me get my stuff… I need to write a letter to Aoko" he says as he scurries to the front door of his home. Conan soon was next to him with KID's costume.
"Let's leave that outside of Nakamori-kiebu's house" Kaito suggests and points to his neighboring house. A note soon appeared on top of the outfit, along with the top hat and monocle. Conan sighs and slowly walks to the house's front door. He placed the clothes down and quickly rang the doorbell before hurrying back to Kaito's house.
Grumbling could be heard from the inside before the door opened, revealing a girl that looked almost exactly like Ran. Both Conan and Kaito watched as she looked around tiredly before looking straight down and jumping in surprise at the white outfit.
"TOSAN!" the girl yelled
"What?!" a tired yet loud yell answered
"KID left something for you!"
That one sentence…. No word That one word cause the inspector to quickly run from where ever he was to the front door and quickly read the note KID had left with his things
"Hello Nakamori-keibu What a blast I had had earlier this beautiful night… Sadly this was not the jewel I was looking for :(. And another sad informative is that I have to take a small break from thieving… so sad I know. Don't worry about me Keibu after all I'll be back. I always am. Take good care of the task force and your daughter! I know they'll be heartbroken of my sudden departure. See you Next Illusion ;)
PS keep my costume in a safe place. KID" the inspector read out loud. After reading he let out a frustrated yell and picked up the belonging of the Phantom thief and mumbling curses as he went back inside.
Conan chuckled softly and soon both of the boys entered Kaito's house. Kaito quickly started to write a note to Aoko Nakamori about where he went. He told her that a detective wanted some help with solving a case that involved magic and that his mother wanted him to visit her for a change. Conan wandered around the house with a suitcase he had found to place clothes in for Kaito, as well as bird cages.
"KID do you buy your birds cages or anything?" he had asked when he couldn't find anything
"Huh? Oh no…. Never needed to before since having them not in cages was the best way to get them to trust me…. Plus I raised them from when they were chicks so it didn't matter before"
"Right…. You'll have to explain that to Ran then…. Let's go… I got the clothes for you so we can head back…. Also Ran texted me saying we don't need fish anymore"
Kaito let out a happy sigh of relief when he heard that and followed Conan out of his home before locking it tightly.
"Let's go!" Kaito says happily and runs to the yellow nettle car. Conan quickly ran after him, but carefully since he was dragging the suitcase with him.
