Chapter Three - Kaitou Kid vs The Shounen Tanteidan
"Did you hear? Kaitou Kid is going to steal Serenity's Gem during Lady Sonoko's play,"
"I know, I heard stories about him, but I never believed to actually gain a chance to see him,"
"You're so luck you got a ticket to the play,"
"Hehehe, I know right,"
All through the school, students, and teachers talk about Kaitou's letter to the Suzuki Theater. Edogawa Conan sighs irritably hearing it all, the damn school girls were annoying, hearing them gushing over the theft, who should be over twenty-five by now. Sometimes he wonders if school girls will ever change.
"Is there a problem, Edogawa-kun?" then there was another annoying school girl, who seems to piss him off at every possible moment.
"No Haibara, just thinking," he answers, glaring at the smirking girl.
"About Kaitou-san, I presume," her amusement grew seeing his glare darken slightly. "I admit, I was shocked as well to see him returning after all these years," "Planning on catching him again?" her smirk widens slightly, seeing how angry the boy was getting.
"Haibara," Conan growls out, in a dark warning tone.
"Sorry, thought you knew I was joking Edogawa-kun," expression returning expressionless once more, Haibara sits in her seat.
"Hahahaha, very funny Haibara," an annoyed Conan laughs dryly. It was at that moment, a girl with long raven hair, and violet eyes enters the classroom. The girl had lightly tan skin, and a build like any girl her age, which would have given her the look of angel, including her heart shaped face, if it wasn't for the look in her eyes that spelled trouble and the black gem in her right ear. Like every other girl in Teitan High, she wore the customary school uniform.
"Conan, man I can't wait for the day Kid strikes," from the tone of her voice, you can obviously tell she was a tomboy by the way she talked in a rough, yet soft voice. "I'm so going to challenge him to a fight and kick his ass, then capture him, what about you? What's your plan?" the girl asks, sitting in her seat behind the glasses wearing boy.
"Don't know Subaru, besides, fighting Kid won't mean anything if you don't know when he'll strike," this deflated the confident girl a bit.
"It's only a matter of time before I figure it out, I just went to sleep on it last night," the girl puff out her cheeks lightly in annoyance, staring out the window, trying to hide her embarrassment. "I heard we had a new student, who is she?" Conan sighs knowing it would be irritating to explain it to the tomboy, went to open his mouth, when the subject of the new topic walks into the room.
Mai walks into class, a newspaper in her hands, a silly grin on her face, as she sat in her seat and read over the letter she sent to the Suzuki Theater once more.
Suzuki Sonoko
On the night of the play, I shall waltz across the stage like the mini star that I am, and take the jewel from the Royal's little hand, then when the time is right, I'll vanish, like a fading star in the night, and fly into freedom, like a bird in the sky.
Kaitou Kid
"Oi Mai, what you think of Kaitou Kid's challenge?" Conan asks.
"Don't know, I remember Kaitou Kid from when I was a kid, I heard he was great and not even the best of the detectives could catch him, so I think he'll get away. You know, years of experience and everything," Mai said, not looking up from the paper.
"Ha, this time around the Great Thief will meet his match," boasts Subaru.
"Really, are you guys going to stop Kid from stealing the jewel?" the girl asks, staring at the three teens in interest.
"Ah, he's going down," Subaru declares confidently. "With my karate skills, Conan-kun's brains, Haibara-san's cool nature, and the others attributes, there's no way that guy is going to get away,"
"Oohhh, amazing," Mai said. "Sorry, my name is Kuroba Mai, and you are?"
"Subaru Hatako, but Subaru is what everyone calls me," Subaru shakes hands, grinning at the girl, who was grinning back.
'She has a strong grip, a fighter? With her frail looking body, one would think she's just an average school girl,' Subaru thought, taking her hand back.
"Practice martial arts?"
Mai nods, not wanting to lie, seeing how she was a fellow fighter.
"I am, I practice, just so I can keep my body in top condition," Mai answers, folding up the newspaper. "Maybe we can spar sometime," suggests Subaru. "Maybe," Mai smirks, turning to the front of the class, seeing Mori-sensei entering.
'I'm up against these three, oh, this is going to be fun. I know what Conan and Ai are capable of, but what of Subaru and the others?'
Frowning, Mai stares out the window in a bored manner, completely masking the excitement coursing through her veins, thinking of the soon to be chase and heist.

Suzuki Theatre - One Week Later
Many people crowded into the Suzuki Theatre. Some there to watch the show in the theatre, others wanting to see the capture of Kaito Kid, and many wanting to see if the thief could escape from the police, after being gone for so many years. Police officers had the building completely surrounded from the inside out, knowing the thief wouldn't escape with the jewel with these many officers around.
Three familiar teens were seated on the upper level above most of the audience, watching the audience and stage carefully.
"Figured it out Conan-kun?" Subaru asks, dressed in a black spaghetti strapped dress, which showed a good portion of her cleavage and her curves. The girl leaned over the railing slightly, staring at everyone and everything intently.
"Ah, it was surprisingly simple, it's a simple invitation heist to us detectives to his opening heist," the detective answers, he dressed in a black tuxedo and blue tie, glasses shining in the light of the auditorium.
"A code that simple has to be an invitation right," confirms Subaru.
"Just look over the letter a few times, and it becomes surprisingly simple, especially if you know what the play is about," adds Haibara, she wearing a similar dress to Subaru, but hers was a little tighter, revealing more of her curves than Subaru's, and was red in color.
"Let's wait for that scene and we'll make our move," "It's starting,"
Ten people are seen standing on stage, one little girl is seen taking Serenity Jewel from a woman's hand, her eyes shining brightly like a star.
Two hours into the play, it was finally coming to an end.
"Serenity, here, this jewel, our family heirloom, it now belongs to you my daughter. Think of it as an early wedding gift from me to you," Selenity, Serenity mother said, lying on her bed, looking extremely pale. "To unlock the gems true power, the one you love must touch it and only then will you become the true ruler of the planet, while I become nothing but a fading star...I love you Serenity, be strong my daughter," Selenity, shakily hands Serenity, their family jewel, breathing her last breath, she passes on.
"MOTHER!!" Serenity or Yoko shouts tearfully, crying on her mother's corpse. The stage fades into black, and an image of a fading star is seen, thanks to the special effects.
If one were to look where Conan and his companions were, they would find that they were gone.
Kurota Misame, the actress for Selenity, the mother of Serenity, who was being played by Okino Yoko, was currently, walking casually to the direction towards her dressing room. Instead of heading to her room, she made a detour, heading towards the rooftop. Arriving, her eyes widen, finding something that was supposed to be there missing, something very important.
"Looking for the glider, Kid-san," Misame turns around to see Conan, Haibara, and Subaru, each stepping out of the shadows of the rooftop.
"I shall waltz across the stage, like the mini star that I am and take the gem from the Royal's tiny hand' When you wrote this, you meant the little girl who played Chibi Selenity, as the mini star, seeing how she's a star in the making and Sonoko's daughter. The scene when Chibi Selenity met her future-self, Selenity, she hands her the gem, so it would be safe, confirming the 'take the gem from the Royal's tiny hand' bit," explains Subaru.
"Vanish, like a fading star at night' meant the scene where Selenity hands over the jewel to Serenity. But you handed Yoko the fake the jewel, while you kept the real one," adds Haibara.
"And fly into freedom, like a bird in the sky' is when you escape using your glider into the sky, but we already disposed of it," finishes Conan, a soccer ball under his feet, preparing to use it to knock out the thief should he try to escape.
Smirking, Kid raises her hands in defeat.
"Ah, seems like I've been had," Kid said in her male voice. "But you forget one thing Tantei-san,"
"Oh and what is that?" demands Conan, watching Kid place his foot on the ledge of the building, an arrogant smirk on his masked face.
"That a magician always has a trick up his sleeve," rolling her wrist, four black balls appears between her fingers. Kid made to throw them down, when he rolled to the side, avoiding the soccer ball aimed at her hand, but still managed to drop them...off the building.
"Fancy trick," mocks Subaru rushing Kid. Cursing mentally, Kid rushes the girl, not wanting either of them to be knocked off the building. Bringing up her forearm, Kid blocks a surprisingly hard kick to the head, and counters, kneeing Subaru in the gut, only for the girl to block with her own knee. Catching movement to her right, Kid grips Subaru's arm and flips over her head, avoiding a would-be hit, by soccer ball. Glaring at Conan, Kid draws out her card gun and fires four shots at him, pinning his leg to the wall. Raising her arms, she blocks two kicks, one from Subaru, the other Haibara. Grunting under the intense pain in her arms, Kid knew she had to leave now, or she'll be caught by these three. Flipping back, Kid lands on the edge of the building once more, her smirk returning full force, irritating the three detectives, and she loved every second of it.
"As nice as it is to dance with the three of you, I must take my leave," giving them a bow, three flash bombs fall out the top of her dress, blinding the area. Shielding their eyes from the blinding light, the three teens, waits until the light died, before removing their arms.
When they did, they saw nothing, but a mask modeled as Mesame, the dress, breast pads, and a bra.
"Damnit he got away," curses Subaru, glaring where she saw Kid flying through the night, a horde of police cars after him. "But shit, he had a good arm to take those kicks,"
"True, but I know we nearly shattered his arms, he shouldn't be able to fly in that condition," Haibara said, glancing at the door, where she believed Kid may have escaped to.
"I think so too, I heard his bones crack, he wouldn't have the strength to use his glider. That may be one of his decoys; he had most likely set somewhere around here. Lets search, he may still be around," Haibara and Subaru follows Conan down into the lobby, where many police officers were seen running around. Spotting two familiar officers, the trio makes their way to them.
"Takagi-keji," greets Conan.
"Conan-kun," Takagi greets back.
"Yo Conan-kun, Haibara-chan, Subaru-chan," greets Sato.
"Have you guys seen anyone, who looked to have an injury on their arms?" Subaru asks.
"I haven't seen anyone like that," answers Takagi.
"I have he was rubbing both of his arms, and seemed to be in pain. When I asked him about it, he said he had injured himself not too long ago, and was going to give chase to Kid," noticing the looks on the three teen's faces, she asked them what was wrong.
"The man was most likely Kid. Subaru and Haibara, briefly fought with him, and nearly shattered his arms, when they kicked him," Conan said, knowing Kid was long gone by now.
"Takagi-kun, I'm going to check it out, you wait here with them,"
"Mam,"
Giving him an appreciative grin, she runs out the building, her arm accidently hitting the door, causing her to flinch in pain as she ran out.
"Did Sato-san injure her arms, Takagi-san?" Haibara asks softly, staring in the direction Sato ran off in.
"No why?" his answer, was answered when another Sato walks up to them. "Sato-san!?...then that was..." the three teens had already run off before he had a chance to finish his sentence. "Kaitou Kid," racing outside after the teens, they saw them running into an alleyway. Arriving, the found them, holding up an exact duplicate of Sato's outfit and a mask, modeled after her face.
"Kid sure is tricky," a smirking Subaru comments lowly.
"True, we'll put out some watches at the hospitals, to have them watch out for any individuals with two broken or fractured arms,"
"Kid got away again, Edogawa-kun," Conan glares at the seemingly frowning Haibara, who was in truth smiling softly. "Don't be down, he won't get away next time," declares Haibara lowly, walking away from the alley, just as something hard hits her head.
"Ouch," rubbing her head, she glares down at the black pouch. Grabbing it, she felt something round in it, curious, she opens it and to her surprise, saw Serenity's Gem resting in it.
"Takagi-keji," Haibara tosses him the pouch. Catching it, he opens it and finds the recently stolen gem in the pouch.
"Wha-whaat? How?"
A dove lands on Conan's shoulder, a message tied to its leg. Retrieving the message, Conan reads it out loud to the others.
Shounen Tanteidan
Nice try, I was surprise when you almost caught me, but at last it was for nothing. To make up for your lost effort, here's the gem back, it's good to know I haven't completely lost my touch.
P.S. Those kicks really did some damage, if you're not careful you may hurt someone, but I wouldn't mind it from two cute girls like yourselves.
Kaitou Kid
"Tch, cocky bastard," mumbles Subaru stalking off.
Conan hands the letter to Sato and stares up at the moon, an image of Kaito Kid appearing in his eyes, mocking him and his efforts.
'Dammit, looking in the hospital is pointless. Those two didn't injure him, they must've broke something of his, but what was it?'
XxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Mai stood in her bathroom, taking shards of glass out of her left arm, her right arm, already glass free, covered in bandages.
"I'm the only idiot in the world to hide fake gems in her arm sleeves, and attempt to block to insanely strong kicks from two vicious girls,"
Eyes tearing, she removes the last of the glass and drops it into the sink, where the other shards were. Wrapping the wound with the bandages on the toilet seat, she cleans up the mess she made and collapses on the couch in her living room.
"I should plan better next time, it was fun for my first confrontation with them, but I have to be better prepared and not screw up this time around. But Subaru, she's impulsive, we both may have went off the building, if we fought there,"
Mai shivers and turns on her TV, thinking about her next heist, and how to improve, to make her next job much smoother.
'The next one will be better, I just need to play my cards right, and a thing like tonight won't happen again,'
Sighing, Mai drifts off to sleep, her dreams plagued with memories of the past, her life before with her mother and friends, back when things were simple, and life was innocent.
Chapter up and done, yes, after many months it's up. I'm sure many of you are wondering why I chose Serenity and Selenity to be in the play….well, I'm not sure either, it was just the simplest thing I could think of at the time, so uh, if you dislike it…my bad, blame my uncreativeness….which isn't a word, but blame that.
Besides, I like Serenity and Selenity, and I just had to include them in my story at least once, well, at least the names.
