Of Childhood Friend and Girlfriend.

Chapter 2:
Aoko didn't wait for Kaito the next norning, she went to school alone with her mind empty.
And when the bell was about to ring, Kaito bolted into the class, panting hard. He sat down on the seat beside Aoko, he looked over her with a childish pout on his face.
"Aoko! You didn't wait for me!" he whined but she just ignored him, eyes stared at the history book. He frowned at her lack of reaction but just shrugged it off…maybe she was on her period?
As for Aoko, she continued to stare at the book with blank eyes, even when the teacher entered and started the class. She automatically raised her hand when her name was called and answered the question just as automatically.
She didn't focus on the lecture or even what was going on, she didn't acknowledge Kaito when he called her and flipped her skirt, didn't even try to stop or yell Kaito when he dyed some unfortunate classmates' hair. Her mind was completely on the plan to win back her love interest.
If she was going to win Kaito back from that 'Shin-chan' girl, she'd need information about her. Didn't there have a saying 'Love is War'? And if she was to enter a fight, she need to research on her enemy and have a plan and several back up plans.
Well, who would give her information better than the enemy's boyfriend, also her best childhood friend, Kaito himself? And that was set.
First step: Research.
When it was lunch time, as Kaito was about to go off with some of his male friends, she blocked their way.
"Ah, Kaito, your girlfriend wants you to herself today eh?" a boy patted Kaito's shoulder and laughed.
Kaito just grinned and slapped his hand away, "She's not." And Aoko felt her mind protested. It just wanted to yell out for the world to know that she was Kaito's girlfriend and he was hers! But on the outside, she just tapped her foot impatiently before taking a hold of his arm and dragging him away.
"Remember to send us the invitations to your wedding, Kuroba!" a boy yelled after them and all of them laughed amusingly.
Kaito let Aoko dragged him then grinned back and held up a victory sign, "If we ever got married~!"
And when they got to the school's rooftop, Aoko released Kaito to fold her arms in front of her chest.
"Who was that girl yesterday?" she asked, though what she had seen clearly told her who was that girl…but she still didn't let herself believe in it, she wanted to hear it from Kaito himself.
"Girl…?" Kaito tapped his chin thoughtfully then he snapped his fingers, a grin appeared on his lips, "You must mean Shin-chan!"
He beamed at her and she felt a painful tug at her heart at the nickname.
"She's my girlfriend~!" there, he said it. Her hope, her fantasy of a family of him and her and everything else came crashing down. It felt so painful, really, but she didn't let it show, she'd deal with it later.
"Girlfriend eh? I can't believe someone as pervert as you could get a girlfriend!" she teased him. Normally, he would have know something was wrong with her but then, they were talking about his girlfriend, and he was too eager to talk about it to notice her fakeness.
He pouted at her and folded his arms childishly, "I'm not a pervert!"
"So…where and when did you meet her?" she asked and her hesitance went unnoticed.
He scratched his head, "You remember last month we went to Shibuya?"
She nodded and he went on.
"Well, that was the plan, but then when I was already there, you phoned to tell me that you had to stay home cuz your dad suddenly had a day off, so you had to stay home with him."
She looked at him guiltily, "I'm sorry about it."
He grinned at her cheerfully, "Nah, no worry, we all know your dad rarely has a day off! And well, since I thought I was already there so I might as well as took a look around."
He paused and closed his eyes in remembrance, "A woman dropped dead."
She blinked at him owlishly, "…What?"
"You heard me, a woman just dropped dead," he repeated, "And then she came. Just in fifteen minutes, she found out who was the woman's murderer."
"She interested me so I followed her around."
"In other words, you stalked her," she rolled her eyes knowingly.
"I didn't!" he protested, whining, "She knew I was following her anyway…" he trailed off embarrassingly.
She understood, because he was very skilled at following people around without them noticing.
"And she nearly took off my head with her soccer cuz she thought I was a stalker and a pervert and all…" he continued and she rolled her eyes again.
"You are."
"Not too!"
She raised an eyebrow at his protest, "So what do you call peeking into the girls' changing room and flipping the skirts?"
He actually thought hard about it before snapping his fingers, a rose appeared in a puff of pink smoke. He offered it to her with a cheerful grin.
"It's called appreciating the beauty, dear Aoko~."
She took the rose and her stomach twisted painfully, it was a blue rose, not a red one.
"I see…" she tried not to let her sadness show and sighed in relief as he turned around, looking up to the sky happily.
"It was really hard to make her accept my confession," he sighed.
"You just met her once and then confessed?"
"We've met before, at KID's heists," she wanted to start to rant about how the stupid thief was a bad guy and all but fought against it.
"Don't tell me she's a KID's fan too…"
"Nope, she was there to capture him," he replied cheerfully.
Her eyes widened, "And you still like her? Doesn't she want to capture your idol?"
"But she's interesting~!" he sing song happily, "And I'm sure KID would be really happy to be her boyfriend even if he was put behind the bars by her."
"Why are you so sure?" she narrowed her eyes suspiciously and he covered his mouth, realizing what he just said.
"Uhm, I assume so!"
And she rolled her eyes, letting the subject drop, "What's her name anyway? I'm sure it's not 'Shin-chan'."
"Her name eh? Surely you know a Kudo Shinichi?" he countered back with a question and her eyes widened.
"As in the famous high school detective?"
"Yep! That's my Shin-chan~!" her heart again gave a painful throb but she ignored it, mentally adding the information.
'…Kudo Shinichi…a hard enemy…"
Kaito waved his hand in front of her face, snapping her out of her planning mind.
"You okay, Aoko?"
Shinichi blinked at him before whacking his head.
"Idiot!" she yelled and magically, she took out a mop from no where while Kaito looked at her fearfully. Really, he needed to find out how the girls in his life could make their weapons appear from no where like that, and he was the magician here!
"You should have told me! You moron! I was so worried!"
"Ack! Aoko! I'm sorry! I sorrrryyyy!"

That night, Aoko ditched her homework to research about Kudo Shinichi on the Internet.
Kudo Shinichi, only daughter of Kudo Yuusaku, a famous writer and Kudo Yukiko, a famous retired actress. She lived in a huge mansion in Beika,
Kudo Shinichi herself was famous for helping out the police numerous times, a rival to KID (Aoko almost wanted to let she have Kaito just because of that), also called the Savior of the police force and Modern Sherlock Holmes and all.
Looking at the detective girl's photo with half-lidded eyes, Aoko could see that Kudo was a good-looking girl with long black hair that had a strange cowlick, her blue eyes were sharp and shone an intelligent light. She was pretty tall, around 174 cm.
Aoko mused thoughtfully. This kind of girl, she could get anything and any man she wanted with her appearance, her fame and her wealth. She surpassed Aoko on so many things but then, Aoko knew Kaito longer than her. She had an advance that she was Kaito's best friend and she understood Kaito better than Kudo.
Research done.
Step 2: Carry out the plan.
Her plan would start tomorrow.
