Chapter 1: It's too early and I need coffee now!
A/N: This is a chapter about more along the lines of how I feel this morning….and how Shinichi feels about the whole Grim Reaper ideal…sounds fun doesn't it? OH for the record, angry triangle face is coined by my ten year old brother who thinks that the annoyed little eye face makes their eyes look like cones, he has coined it the angry triangle face (he's ten, it's allowed right?) LOL.
It took us awhile to find bodies of people who weren't all that well known, and we found a place to live too, much to my chagrin…it's my frakking house! Hakuba in his "I'm a businessman" suit and brit like demeanor walked up to my mother in such a way that she literally swooned over him, stupid bastard, and to think I kinda liked him a little. Hitting on my mother that's unforgivable! Kaito had to hit him upside the head a couple times until he realized who the person was.
Heiji didn't look all that pleased with this development either, sure he's hot headed, and since he also knows my mother, and even though he won't admit it, he's head over heels in love with Hakuba Saguru. I also seemed to notice I have two other thorns in my side, one I can deal with, he just yanks on my hair and actually acts like a child, I had to act like it somehow right, every child has his tendencies, but Conan's was hairpulling. I'm surprised that it wasn't punching people in the head, I mean my head still hurts from when that annoying man punched me in the head all those times. The other, he was still getting used to the fact that he was actually dead, Hondou Eisuke, he hasn't left my side since the shooting, and frankly it's putting a cramp on well, you know, Kaito and I can't do productive things…
Frak me I'm blushing right now, I need to stop thinking about such odd things. Maybe Kaito's right though, perhaps….no he wouldn't care to do anything of the sort.
"Hello, my name is Nishamura Kaien, I have heard that your family often leaves the country, and we were wondering that when you're gone, if we could rent out your house."
Blunt and straight to the point I see, stupid british bastard!
"Excuse me, but you have heard what happened right? Our son was just killed in a shooting at the University, we may be going back to Los Angeles for the foreseeable future, if you can come down with a down payment on the house before the funeral in a few days I don't see why not." Kudo Yuusaku said to "Kaien."
I'm trying to get over the fact that I was staring at my father, watching as tears fell down his face, "I don't think I can do this." I told Kaito as I turned around and walked away from the house. It was like it hit me like a ton of bricks, I was dead, I was never going to see my parents, Ran, Sonoko, (much to my distain) I can only talk to one cop on the force because he's like a Ghost Whisperer or something I don't know, but for the first time since I saw our bodies being hauled away in body bags, I just wanted to hold Kaito and cry like a girl until I couldn't cry anymore.
"I did that too you know, when I thought you didn't want me to be a part of you anymore and Takagi was the only person who could see me, I thought that I was hated. I didn't have anyone to cry to though, I cried on Takagi while he was at home, so that nobody would wonder why a seven year boy named "Kai" was crying on his shoulders, or while he was at home, in his lap. What a concept huh, I named myself after what turned out to be our ally and your lover, I was so depressed, do you have any idea what it's like? Any at all to know what the last year had been like, working with people who are stupid as hell? At least you have two detectives, a thief, and….a failed CIA participant?"
I laughed at this, I remembered what Eisuke said before he left. He said he was going to go to the US to study hard and attempt to be in the CIA, and we left it at that. "How did you deal with it Conan, seriously I'm envious."
"Don't worry Shinichi, it gets better with time, I promise. I find it ironic that there's a chance you're living in your house though, there's one thing I'm happy about though, you didn't break one of the main rules though."
"Which one?"
"Don't get attached to people that you knew before, needless to say it could lead to things that are too terrible. I don't what the "something terrible" is but Takagi said that he didn't want to see it again…"
"Shinichi?" Kaito walked over (thankfully without Eisuke on him.)
"I'm sorry I couldn't stand there knowing that my parents are still…well I'm sure you understand."
"Shh, it's okay. I don't blame you in the least for this, for walking away. Thanks for helping him Conan, I have reason to believe that he's taking this hardest out of everyone." Kaito said
"I didn't want this, I didn't expect to be in some sort of freak accident, I don't want to be dead! I want to go back to how it was, how I was before I died, Kaito, I want to go home." I said, I was blubbering, tears running down my face, before I realized what was happening Kaito had me in his arms, stroking my hair.
Heiji's POV:
"Those three look like a cozy family." Yuusaku said softly.
"They've been together for quite some time, they met each other doing opposite professions, let's just say that the detective stole the thief's heart." Hakuba said smiling at the two (and Conan.)
"Reminds me of Kaito and Shinichi, you know those two have always been close but never realized it…it made my day to know that Shinichi finally caught Kaitou Kid, but not in the way I would have thought."
"You KNEW!"
"Of course I knew, come on in you guys, it's hot out here. Get cool and I'll make some lemonade or something and I can tell you guys how I started attempting to catch KID!"
"You're being far too, I don't know how to say this, kind? I mean, you've known us for five minutes and you want us to come in the house with ya? How do I know you ain't going to do wicked, evil things to us?" I asked, I had to keep in character, I knew that Yuusaku Kudo would never do evil things to us.
"Ain't isn't a word Hattori!" Hakuba whispered in my ear sending a shiver down my spine.
"Yes, it is! It's in the English dictionary therefore it's a word!"
He just stared at me, I stared back, it took me three seconds to decide whether I wanted to kiss him or not, at this moment it was really not the time…
"This old man wouldn't do something evil and nasty if his life depended on it….unless it was with me!" a woman's voice came from behind Yuusaku, I loved this woman, she's helped me so many times, "Excuse me, I'm going to go and see what's keeping them." I said as Hakuba turned his head.
I could tell that it didn't occur to him that I too knew the Kudos, and if Shinichi thought that he couldn't do it, there was a good chance that I couldn't do it for much longer either. I walked over to where Kudo and Kaito were, "Hey can you go over and keep up appearances with Hakuba and Eisuke, I don't think I can do it anymore."
"Did mom show up?"
" 's why I'm here, I don't think I can do it…."
"But I can't do it! I've met your mom before, she's scary…"
"You've met my mom?"
"Course I have, I was with my dad and I called her a pretty old lady….didn't go well for me, I even got angry triangle face…"
"Oh yes, you don't want to be with mom in a car when she develops angry triangle face either, she just goes faster and more reckless than she would any other time!"
"I met your father too." He whispered feeling almost hurt about talking about that development. "I wanted to talk to him about something…"
Shinichi's eyes went up in a confused manner, I couldn't help but smile, I had an idea what he was talking about, there's nothing more than a thief wanting to steal the one thing true to a family as an only son, and it wasn't like the detective didn't steal his heart first…the poor sap wanted permission to marry Shinichi….
"I'm stealing Kaito away for a second." I said with a grin, "Don't worry I promise to bring him back unscathed."
Kaito looked at me almost comically scared. "So, did you get it?" I said hauling him away from Shinichi as far (but as close I mean we could see him) as I could.
"Did I get what?" he asked almost fidgety.
"Don't be stupid with me, I know that you asked ol' man Kudo if you could marry Shinichi…so did you get it?"
"How did you know?" he asked.
"It was how you acted, you were talking about angry triangle face, then you went all somber and stuff when you mentioned him. I kind of deduced, it is my job to do that you know."
"I got the triangle face again when I told her who I was, she looked at me like I was a lunatic, but she was happy that Shinichi could find someone that in a sense was just like him. I kinda pshed her, because frankly I didn't think I was anything like him, we don't have the same taste in anything really, even if he did have a thing for my Kaitou Kid outfit, he always…."
"No details please, continue with the story…."
"I told them that I really loved Shinichi, even though technically, I first fell in love with him when I was on the clock tower and he was in the helicopter, I saw his eyes for the first time and was hypnotized by them. But then something happened that I wouldn't expect, a little boy with the same eye color, hair, everything, he started chasing me around, we started telling each other the stories of why we were doing what we were doing. I learned that little Conan was Shinichi, so when the FBI approached us and asked us to help take down the organization, I know Conan would, and the weird part was he approached me as an ally not a villain. I told them this, and Yukiko looked like she was going to go all sadface on me….yelling "YOU MAKE MY SHIN-CHAN HAPPY!" officially getting her blessing, Yuusaku took his time after hearing my story but in the end gave me his blessing too…I was going to ask him the day…."
"Don't start crying just yet, wait until you ask Shinichi, it's not the end you know. We have some time."
"I know…believe me I know…"
So what do you think? This is something that I experimented with and wasn't sure how it was going to turn out….any reviews and comments and stuff would be greatly appreciated on how I could change this to be incredibly wicked awesomeness! Thanks for reading!
