Shinichi's POV
"… Tantei-kun~" A voice said from some point vaguely above him. The name sounded familiar to him though he couldn't quite place it in his half-awakened state of mind.
"Wake-up Tantei-kun~" At this his eyes snapped open and he registered the unfamiliar surroundings. Why was KID here? And where was he?
Then his memories the night before came flooding back and he groaned loudly. He'd been KID-napped.
He gave the room a closer look and saw photos covering the walls.
His eyes focused on the figure sitting in a wooden chair next to the bed he was half-lying on.
He looked to be about the same age as himself and dressed in all casual clothing with the exception of his white top hat and monocle.
"Where are we?" He asked uncertainly.
"We're at my house my dear detective." Came the cheerful reply.
Shinichi's mind whirred. Was this really KID's house? Did he mean a real house or a safe house?
"KID where are we rea-" He started to say but was interrupted.
"My name isn't KID. Kuroba Kaito at your service." He said and snapped his fingers before offering his hand.
With the finger snap the rest of his disguise vanished in a puff of white smoke leaving behind a teenager who looked a lot like Shinichi himself.
The teen flashed a grin that unmistakably belonged to a certain Phantom Thief. Shinichi's hand hesitantly took Kaito's and shook it.
While he looked calm his mind was going into over-time. Does he trust me? Or is this another disguise?
But as he looked around his eyes came back to the photos on the walls. Inside each of the pictures the thief's face looked back at him.
There were pictures of him with family and friends at Christmas and every other holiday imaginable.
So unless the thief had been living a double life on top of being Kaito KID (Which he seriously doubted was the case.) then this was the real face of Kaito KID.
The person who "borrowed" famous, valuable jewels and he was also the person making Inspector Nakamori's blood boil on a regular basis.
And strangely enough Shinichi found himself believing it.
"OK then why am I here exactly?" he asked.
"Firstly: I had to bring you here first of you'd never believe I was telling the truth. Second: I just can't stand to see my poor Tantei-kun lonely." at this he grinned.
"So starting today you and I are roommates." He felt his face fall to shock but he quickly regained his normal composure.
"What here? Or are you planning on invading my house?" He asked.
"Why we're going to your house of course. It's bigger." He said innocently. Shinichi swung his feet out of the bed and decided to play along… for now.
"Well then Kaito get your bags packed or I'll leave you behind." He said then strode out the door and into an unfamiliar hallway.
"… Which direction is the door?" The magician chuckled. He had been right to pick up Tantei-kun. This was going to be fun.
AN: Well identities have been revealed; jokes cracked at others expenses so all in all I'd say it was an OK chapter if a little short.
(Oh and in case anyone's wondering WHY Kaito picked up Kudo he was extremely and depressingly bored.)
