Coldest Winter Night
Lucky Dream
Or… was it?
Sakura - Melody Chime
Shinichi woke up one morning, wide opened eyes, looked around the room. It was of course his room, but somehow he didn't feel right. It was somewhat strange. A large amount of questions rushed through his mind.
Like, why is he in his room? How did his body get back to normal?
Leaving those unanswered questions aside, he got up and decided to get ready for the day.
It was a Friday, so maybe he could find Ran and the others at school. Then he quickly ate some bread, and gulped down a cup of milk and headed out the door. As he past his gate, he looked around seemed like normal to him, so he sets off down the usual road towards Ran's house to see if she's home.
As he arrives couple minutes later, Ran is already walking out of her home. With that catching his attention, he called out.
"Ohayo! Ran!" Running to catch up with Ran. She turned around and was surprised to see her best friend catching up to her.
"Shinichi! You came back!" Ran shouted with excitement. A lot of questions followed after that, along with their usual conversations. They finally arrived at school 10 minutes later, got in, changed their shoes and headed in for their classrooms.
Today couldn't get any better as he thought he's back to his normal body, normal days, or was it all just too lucky?
Not wanting to pay attention to the class, perhaps it was just like any other day in school. He pondered around and then looked at Ran writing on her notebook and taking notes. Pondered around some more… he glanced over at the window, and there is a note that is signed by Kaitou KID.
"Tonight at 9pm I will steal the "Melody Chime" at the town's square"
Phantom Thief Kid.
What? Shinichi raised his eye brows, a heist, out of all nights… why tonight? Though a lot was still on his mind… now this was added to his collection of thoughts? He could just stay here all day pondering or forget about it, yet again. After reading the note, he stuck it inside his school bag. He was interested in the heist… after all it's was always fun to chase a thief that no one could catch.
After going out and around with Ran for the rest of the afternoon, Shinichi sent Ran home, back to the agency.
"See you tomorrow, Shinichi!" Ran smiled cheerfully walking up the steps to her room.
"Mn! Bye Ran!" Shinichi replied, turning and headed back to his house. His empty house, stood largely on the huge land property. Surrounded by a low wall and a gate at the center. Shinichi opened the gate then the main door and set his stuff down.
Feeling good that he spend the whole day with Ran without a call from the police department, and needing his help on a case, as always. A thought came to mind, this is too good to be true. I mean being a detective really can have break times? It was his long time dream to be a detective, his father is a great writer, and m other is a great actress. That explains the huge house and property. Aside from that, not like having a huge property really makes him famous.
Perhaps the effort to catch Phantom Thief KID will really put him in the whole Tokyo newspapers. What KID was doing this for was a whole another story. Night after night's efforts really wears out that Nakamori-Keibu, thought he never quits. I wonder what his officers think about it. KID probably just enjoys himself, as if it's his own entertainment.
Shinichi then gets ready and sets out to catch that Phantom Thief once and for all. Perhaps to find some answers along the way.
As he arrived at the crowded scene, almost everyone resident at Tokyo audience, and waited patiently waiting for KID to arrive, at the struck of 9pm. There he was, standing on top of the music hall, wearing his favorite white suit, cape, tall magician hat, and his monocle, to hide his identity.
Standing there proudly wearing a poker face.
"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen!" he greeted with his strong sincere voice and smile. Looking around as to be half crowded officers, half crowded pedestrian (people), watching patiently. Among them is a famous detective, known among the crowd, Shinichi Kudo. He's wearing a smirk on his face as well, waiting for his first attack.
"Tonight, I will steal the 'Melody Chime'." He announced to the crowd as if he's putting on a magic show.
Odd and strangely yet, he's stealing music sheets? Seems like some one doesn't want some one to play. Shinichi thought. Maybe he's tricking us. I'm sure he's really into jewels.
Shinichi sneaked around the crowd and made his way up to the building. Wondered around looking for where the song file is. The file was sitting neatly on the piano. Then he heard a soft melody, the piano was playing on it's own. Thinking it must be one of Kaitou's magic tricks.
Don't just disappear like snow
flake has falling to the ground.
Don't fade away like the sound
of the melody
(do re mi fa so la ti do)
I'll wait for you as long
as you still love me
Melodies played on the piano softly,
danced through my mind
(do ti so fa mi re do)
Just thinking about you every night
It's not so much as…
Waiting for you… I can be as patient
So please say that you'll come home
(I'll be here… on this field with flowers)
Even more days and years has gone by
I will always think about you.
My best friend, my detective.
As he read the lyrics that were written on the sheet. He wondered who wrote that. As the piano continues to play softly to the sound of the cold crowded night. The moon was growing higher and bigger as time had passed. And there he stood, KID the Phantom Thief?
