HELLO GUYS! Thanks for all the reviews, it motivated me a lot 3 please please continue reviewing! Your reviews are much appreciated :3 this chappy contains a little Shinichi/Shiho. Sorry if you don't like that couple, it was necessary for the content!

Oh and SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY IN UPLOADING D:

I promise the next chappy will contain a lot of Kid/Shiho fluff :3

He'd pulled her inside a vent. An extremely tight, small vent. She was highly aware that he seemed to be behind her and a certain part of her body was right up his face. Kid didn't seem to mind however and merely whispered huskily.

"Crawl."

She did.

"Where will this take us?"

"Somewhere."

"That clarifies everything."

"Miss, you don't need to know."

"Don't call me 'Miss." she snapped.

"Would you rather I call you ma'am?" he chuckled.

She wanted to strangle him. "No."

"My lady?"

She blushed faintly at the specific use of the "my."

"Not that either", she breathed.

"What about 'my love'?" he smirked.

"You're annoying."

"I'm hurt."

They continued the rest of the trip in complete silence. It was quite short though, mind you.

"Okay, from this point onwards you can't see where we're going.."

"May I inquire why?"

"Well, you may. But an answer won't exactly be available for you, young miss. Now sorry to say but I'm gonna have to blind fold you once we get out. Unless you'd simply like to leave me right now and pretend none of this ever happened.."

Shiho stiffened. Leave? She couldn't just leave. Not in this body. Would she actually let a stranger blind fold her? She had no choice, either. She couldn't simply escape like this. She couldn't be seen in public until she was Haibara Ai once more. At least, being with Kid provided a little safety.. she realized then, that she trusted him. But why? She barely knew him.

Was it because he somehow reminded her of Kudo?

Kudo.

He'd flip once he found about this little journey.

If he ever actually did find out, that is...

Upon reaching their so called 'exit,' Shiho pulled away the metal vent entrance (she noted that the screws keeping it in place were absent, had Kid staged this escape in advance?)

She looked down, but could barely see anything. Although she smelled the distinct aroma of wet grass and trees; the chilly night air had made it's way inside the vent. She shivered.

How was she going to get out? If she simply went in head first, she'd fall flat on her head. And she couldn't exactly rotate either so her feet were at the entrance proving an easy slide out of the vent- Kid was in the way behind her.

She merely stared towards the distance. And that was when Kid spoke.

"It's okay," Kid whispered behind her. "I prepared this beforehand; the distance to the bottom is extremely short, and there's a bunch of leaves there as well, just incase."

"Pft," she scoffed. He didn't know how much worse she'd actually been through. Almost confidently, she slid her weight out of the vent entrance, for a second she seemed to be suspended in mid air, but gradually, she felt her fingers touch leaves. Good. Shiho's body slowly made it's way down the very short height, with her hands stretched out before her in order not to tip over and fall. She'd completely slid out, and lay on the leaves before her. When she was about to get up, a fleeting horror surged through her veins.

She was in a puddle, had it rained? She hastily stood up, only to bump into the lean figure of Kid who'd just escaped out of the vent himself. She barely had a second to glance down at her drenched shirt before her vision went completely blank as Kid placed the blindfold before her eyes.

"Sorry, miss. I had to." he whispered into her ear.

She shivered one more, although this time she wasn't sure if it was really from the chilly air.

"Don't you dare look downwards." she stated. If he did, he'd see her shirt.. and maybe a few other things.. Considering the wetness.. Ugh. Shiho was mentally frustrated.

Of course, though, that was exactly what he did. He looked downwards straight away.

"Why no-" he began.

His eyes trailed down and suddenly, Shiho heard a sharp intake of breath. Was it really that bad? Or.. maybe "good" was a better word to describe it in his point of view? Ugh. Pervert.

"Oh.." was his mere response.

She lifted her hand up to clutch at the wet shirt. Dammit. It was wetter than she thought. And since she wasn't wearing a bra.. damn it all again! She didn't know exactly what he'd see.

"You're not looking, are you?" it was a rhetorical question.. he wouldn't dare look. Would he? That was rhetorical, too.

But he didn't answer. Kid cleared his throat and Shiho heard shuffling behind her that seemed as though he was loosening his tie.

"We have to go.." he whispered almost hesitantly.

And that's when they heard it. Background voices.

Or rather one certain voice in specific.

Kudo.

Shiho yanked the blindfold off her head and turned around instantly, ready to meet the most definitely questioning footsteps of one famous detective.

The voice stopped. It was definitely Kudo's voice, but it seemed there was no one else with him. Was he talking to himself? That seemed certainly absurd.

She looked around, wanting to inform Kid of this new discovery. But the phantom thief was no where to be seen. Again. She mentally sighed in frustration.

More footsteps, and then utter silence as Kudo Shinichi stepped into view.

Kudo Shinichi.

Not Conan Edogawa.

She considered simply hiding, the darkness at the backyard of the Hotel would surely conceal her, but she thought against it upon seeing him as his adult self. Did he drink too, for whatever reason?

He was panting, slightly tired. But from what? Had he been looking for her? Or maybe, looking for the recently-vanished Kid?

He looked up, his eyes widening slightly. She couldn't tell from what. His eyed trailed her body for a moment, possibly checking if it was truly her before proceeding. His eyesight lingered on her chest a bit longer than need be.

He gulped and his eyes quickly snapped up.

"Haibara," he breathed.

"Kudo," she said.

"I.. where have you been?" he almost shrieked.

Shiho flinched involuntarily. This was not expected.

"You... you just ran off! I went straight to the roof and saw all those Paikaru bottles toppled over and no damn trace of you. How much did you drink? How do you think that made me feel? What if they had gotten you? Jeez, Haibara.. I don't even know what to say," frustration echoed in his voice. He clenched his fists in fiery anger. He'd been moving closer all the while too, now he was only 2 or 3 feet away.

Kudo's hair was disheveled, he'd been running through the wind and rain. Had he not been looking for Kid, too? A part of her felt almost flattered that he was looking for her, and not Kid. Maybe she was wrong. But the thought made her insides flutter. She nearly blushed.

Gosh, what was wrong with her today? All these fluttery girly feelings she wasn't supposed to feel.

Realizing that Shinichi still expected some sort of response (one which she didn't exactly have) she simply looked away. A chilly breeze brushed past them, her soaked shirt caused her to shiver.

Shinichi sighed.

He was wearing his normal navy dress pants and white dress shirt, the jacket was absent, however. Suddenly, a thought struck Shiho. She looked around frantically, before Shinichi instantly spoke.

"They're not here, the Detective Boys I mean. The professor took them home.. they wanted to look for you, too. It was very hard to get rid of them.." his voice was a mere whisper now. Shiho still didn't answer. Was it her or did he appear to almost slur his words?

"Hai- Shiho," his voice was stern, now. Shiho flinched. Had she ever told him her real name? She didn't like the feeling she got from the way he'd said it. A stray thought glided in her head. - Kid. Where was he? Had he escaped? And why wasn't Shinichi chasing him like he always did? It wasn't possible she was more important than capturing the greatest Phantom thief in existence.

"Look at me," he demanded.

"No," her voice was quiet. She refused to look at him. She was ashamed, she guessed. Drinking like that, running away, and being with Kid. Damn you Kaitou Kid. Still in her head at moments like these.

Shinichi gripped Shiho's chin and forced her face to meet him, she blushed almost indistinctly. She hated this. Why can't they all just leave her be? Her eyes were forced to meet Shinichis'. She'd never seen him this way before, he looked slightly sad, yet furious at the same time. There was an edge to him she'd never been exposed to before.

Shinichi's breath was so close now. She smelt the scent of.. vodka? And then suddenly everything came clashing down. Shinichi was drunk. He wasn't extremely drunk, but drunk enough to be a little hazy. Letting his emotions get past him. That's why he seemed so.. unlike his normal collected self. He hadn't bothered looking for Kid. He didn't give a crap about Kid. He came here after Shiho. He let his emotions get past him. But why? Why was he here and not with Ran? After the Paikaru, did he get a little carried away? Was he sad like her too?

Shinichi's head hurt. He just wanted to give in. And just like that, he leaned in slowly, pulling Shiho's lips even closer to his. Shiho gasped softly. Shinichi bit her lower lip ever so gently and then slowly sucked.

Shiho's knees buckled.

She grabbed hold of his hair and shivered into his arms. Shinichi groaned and then kissed her more passionately and her eyes seemed to roll to the back of her head. This was wrong. He didn't love her. Not in the way she wanted him to. But right now she didn't care, especially as his hips rolled against hers, earning him a moan from her parted lips.

In the distance, a white cape fluttered in the darkness. The police sirens were long gone, but a silent thief clad all in white stood watching, jealousy coursing through his veins.

Not a single gem has been taken from his grasp, and it wasn't about to start now.

So, what do you think? Like I said, next chappy will be filled with Kid/Shiho fluff :3 *excited to write it*
