Warning: Lots of numbers and Kaito's revenge!

"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside me, and just be my friend."
~Albert Camus

We walk side by side,

Like a refection of a mirror.

The only difference is

The look on our faces.

I'm bright and happy.

You're hidden and shadowed.

Please, Tell me what your hiding.

Maybe,

I can help.

Chapter Four

Kaito glared at the computer in frustration, it just wouldn't load fast enough for him! He was really excited when he found the website that held every news article that involved Kid vs. Edogawa Conan. He was about to smack the computer when the article about a car accident popped up. He blinked as he read the article and his eyes widen at the picture of the girl on the screen. "No wonder he's been staring at Aoko all the time, I would too if I found the clone of my older sister." Kaito muttered under his breathe as he continued to read the article.

Hit and Run; Popular High School Girl Dies!

Last night at 9'oclock on the street that leads to the famous Mouri Detective agency,

was a scene of gore and death. His daughter, Mouri Ran, was found hit by a drunk

driver. Police say that the girl had died instantly, but our sources say that the girl's

young charge was able to talk to her for a few minutes. No one knows what his

or her last words were, but it left the popular young grade schooler in pieces.

There was a picture of Mouri Kogoro holding Edogawa Conan

We have tried to get comments from the victims of this horrible disaster, but

they refused to comment. As we know, Edogawa Conan is the prology that

has been following several of Kaitou Kid's heists. It has been said that

the young boy has almost captured the mysterious thief several times over

the past months. After this disaster will we ever see that confident boy again?

We will cover this story about the famous detectives for the next month.

Kaito couldn't believe that they only covered the story about the young girl for a paragraph, if that! He found a different article describing the accident as the young girl, Mouri Ran, had saved the grade schooler that she watched by covering him with her body. Other's said that she had thrown him out of the way, leaving no time to move herself. Either way, the girl had died getting hit by some rich drunk kid's sports car right in front of their home. He looked back at the picture of Mouri Ran again; she looked to be about 17 at the time. The same age as them, now. He could see the differences between his friend and this girl, it was slight, but they could have been twins, just like him and Conan.

Okay, enough of being depressed! He had gone on the computer to look up past heists, not to dig into the other teen's tragic past. He flipped though a couple pages before he found what he wanted, a picture of the seven or eight-year-old boy with an annoyed smile as the cameras flashed at him. The said boy was wearing a pair of thick glasses and a mini blue suit with a red bowtie.

He had read through the article that greatly detailed the heist, and smirked. He had been right. Conan would prove to be a great challenge! After all, the boy had been able to stump his father on several occasions. He almost wished he could get the other teen to talk freely about the heists. The more articles he read about the pair the more excited he got. He couldn't' wait to see if Conan would show up at his heists again. Maybe he should leave a personal note.

Well, on that note, he had revenge to plot.

Conan had to pay for messing with his finny fear.

Conan had thought it was unusual when Nakamori-san had met with him halfway from school, even more unusual was that Kuroba wasn't with her. It was then that he learned that Kuroba had managed to over-sleep and Nakamori-san wasn't going to wait for him, so she was earlier then normal. Probably stayed up to late thinking of some sort of twisted revenge…Conan walked with the other girl and chatted about the test that they'd be having later that day.

It was during this time that our favorite Kaitou was setting up the biggest trap in school history! He wanted to make sure that there was going to be no way for the other to bypass his traps this time! The first trap was located in the footlockers; all of the shoes that were once white were now rainbow colors, and Conan's were now a nice baby blue. Of course that was to match the next trap that was to be held at the doors of the homeroom. He'd have to be quick about it, but he was sure that it matched Conan's eyes. The final trap that he had arranged was located in Conan's desk, it was loaded with dark blue glitter.

Kaito checked the time on the clock located on the wall above the chalkboard. He smirked as he heard sounds coming from the lockers. It was show time!

-*-

Conan didn't see how it was such a prank to change all the shoes colors in the lockers. It just proved that Kaito was good at dyeing things and picking locks. Well, at least the shoes were now one of his favorite colors. Nakamori-san wasn't even that mad because her shoes were a light purple color. Thank god, his shoes weren't pink or something, his bangs were still pink from yesterday, and it had taken hours to get all of the glitter off of him! While most of the other students were making a commotion about the shoes being random colors of the rainbow, Conan made his way down to the classroom. He figured that it'd probably be better to just go and sit down at his desk.

He was greeted with pink smoke and light touches when he opened the door to the classroom. There he was standing in a multi-blue prom dress, it was pretty and frilly and Conan had just wanted to die inside as the other students gathered behind him. His hair had a blue butterfly clip that tied back his bangs, making the pink highlights stand out. He could feel his face heat up as Kaito appeared in front of him. He was trembling, as Kaito pulled out a blue rose from no where, and clipped it to the front of the dress. "For a beautiful lady!" He said before placing a light kiss on his cheeks.

Conan was frozen, he felt like his world had ended upside down and slightly over to the side. He tilted his head down and quickly made his way to the desk, where he kept the machine that Doctor Agasa had made for him. It could produce multiple soccer balls, but unfortunately for our Conan-kun, he had met with a cloud of dark blue glitter.

Kaito stood there and watched the other teen stand there shaking, quiet, and bright red. It was then when the chuckling started, making Kaito's eyes widen in surprise. He had expected anger, yelling, not this evil chuckling. It kind of reminded him of some creepy American movie where the character was driven insane by a bunch of mirrors. He then noticed a device in Conan's hands.

"Kuroba, You will give me back my uniform, or you'll find out what it's like to have a soccer ball inserted into your ass." The rest of the class that had formed a circle around them backed away slowly. They've seen Conan attack Kaito before with a soccer ball, and that was when the other was only half-serious. They couldn't imagine what Conan could do now with a soccer ball at 100 percent pissed off.

As if to make his threat completely clear a soccer ball went whizzing by Kaito's head, barely missing by a half an inch. This just made Kaito smirk, finally a test to see how well he could completely dodge the other, a good test fitting Kaitou Kid! "Ohh, I'm so scared Conan-chan!" Kaito mocked, and everyone was sure that he was completely insane. Kaito barely dodged the next ball, and the next, Kaito ran into the hallway with Conan following closely after him.

He was surprise the other could run so well in a dress, maybe he should have given Conan high-heels too. Kaito had barely survived, making it to the roof of the school, he made it to the gate surrounding the roof as Conan finally made it to the top and closed the door. A soccer ball dented the gate next to him, and he turned to see the other teen leaning against the metal door, laughing. Conan has once again confused him. Wasn't the boy just angry? There Conan now sat, laughing, with a bright red blush across his face. The teen looked up at Kaito in annoyed amusement.

"Seriously? Was a dress all you could think of?" Kaitou Kid has done worse, Conan thought.

Kaito was now officially confused by the other teenager, and frowned. "Weren't you just angry?"

"Of course, I've been trying my hardest not to stand out, and you've been trying your hardest to make me stand out for some reason or another." Conan answered. " Besides, kicking those soccer balls at you kind of vented most of the anger. Now give me back my uniform."

Kaito pouted at his sort-of-failed revenge, but caved in and gave the other his uniform back. Conan had stood up and pulled the dress right off in front of him. Kaito blushed at seeing the other in only his boxers and school shoes. Conan kicked off the shoes and quickly pulled on his school pants. Kaito couldn't stop staring at the other boy; so many little scars marked his chest and stomach area. There was even an old bullet wound! Conan looked over him and smirked as he pulled on his shirt. "Liked what you saw?" It was then that Conan leaned forward, Kaito barely noticed the fingers in one of his secret pockets and Conan moved his face so close to his own. Kaito could feel a slight blush start blooming, but managed to keep it back. Conan smirked cockily at him, "Well, then I hope you like spending today up here!"

In a matter of frozen moments Conan had managed to open and close the roof doors, and lock them. Kaito blinked, and then realized that he was now locked up on the roof. Humph! As if that could stop him. He reached to grab his lock-picking tools and found them and his several stings that he used for pranks missing!

Conan had managed to one-up him once again~! His stomach growled reminding him that he had skipped breakfast to be able to set up all of the pranks. He ran to the door and started banging on it. "Mouri-kun! Please unlock the door!" There was no response. That devil! Kaito then started rummaging through his other pockets and noticed more missing items, how had that…that…ugh, managed to pick so many of his pockets!? He sighed and took a seat against the wall of the roof. He really hoped that someone came for him soon. He had nothing to even amuse himself with.

Talk about harsh punishment.

Conan took the butterfly clip out of his hair and rummaged a free hand though his hair. It was slightly messy, but he could deal with that. He could also deal with the fact that he was still slightly covered in blue glitter. He could deal with the fact that his shoes were still blue. He could also deal with the stares that his classmates gave him as he entered, dressed in his uniform. He could also smile at the questioning look that Aoko gave him as he sat down.

Yes, he could deal with all of this, because for one day out of the whole school week, he'd finally be able to pay more attention to the teacher up front.

Yes, because he had fully managed to pick pocket Kuroba Kaito. An evil smile crossed his lips as he dumped several of Kuroba's magical items in his bag. Nakamori-san looked slightly worried as she eyed the items that were now located in Conan's bag. "Mouri-kun, where's Kaito?"

Aoko grew even more worried as Conan gave her the brightest smile she's ever seen, and replied. "Don't worry, I just locked him somewhere that he won't bother us for the day. I promise to let him out for lunch!" Aoko giggled nervously and took Conan's word for it.

The morning classes went by quietly for a change.

To Conan it was the best classes ever.

-*-

It was two minutes after the lunch bell when the roof doors opened, reviling Conan. Kaito immediately sat up as Conan put a bento in front of him. He gave Conan a suspicious look before opening the food and testing it. "It's not poisoned." Conan laughed and sat down next to the other teen. "Despite what you might think, I don't hate you enough to kill you."

"So why do you have an extra bento?" Kaito asked as he picked up the chopsticks that Conan had left for him and started eating.

"You're quite predictable when you want to be. I kind of figured that you'd pull something today." Conan answered honestly. "I wanted to make peace. There are only so many times I'm going to take your pranking lightly. So I made an extra Bento and I had planned on locking you up here for half the day. Which I did, I really wasn't expecting you to put a dress of all things on me." Conan ran a hand through his already messy hair. "I also wasn't expecting you to freeze up like that when I picked pocketed you. Who knew you were so embarrassed by close proximity." Conan smirked at him.

Kaito was at a lost for words, Conan had him completely figured out in a matter of a week. Even Aoko wasn't even sure what he'd do on what day. He didn't know if he should be flattered or completely scared. Conan started eating his own bento as Kaito tried to think about everything Conan had said. Kaito smiled widely and looked over at Conan, if Conan wanted some relief, Kaito would let him, but Kaitou Kid was a whole different story! It was risky, but if someone like Conan was chasing after him, maybe those people that killed his father would be found by the rather intelligent teen. From what he read in newspaper articles about Edogawa Conan, he used to have a whole group that did nothing but solve crimes. "Okay, I'll lay off then, no hard feelings?"

Kaito almost felt like blushing when Conan gave him a soft smile and a nod. Gosh, why did he want to blush from that? It almost felt like how he used to feel when he saw Aoko smile.

-Chapter Four End-

(The following Information is from Jewelry-r-us (dot) com: The Star of India

This gemstone is a massive 536-carat blue cabochon-cut star sapphire. It is believed to be the largest cut sapphire in existence. It now sits in the American Museum of Natural History in New York in the Morgan-Tiffany Collection.

In Chapter five we are featuring this jewel as Kid's heist.

The museum is Mitsui Memorial Museum, this is located in the Tokyo area of Japan. It is a real museum, go look it up! It's fun research!)

It's when the lights are on you, and the crowd is cheering that it makes everything that you've just done, so much fun. The rush of the chase, the feeling of that night's heist in your pocket; then the rush of free falling several feet before ejecting the hand glider.

The best things about this show time; is the challenge that the small detective managed to give you.

It's just a shame that you've never gotten to tell him that you knew; but you're pretty sure that he's always known. Probably even known your identity. After all you were friends with his parents.

Maybe one day, he'll even challenge you're beloved son.

Chapter Five

-

Inspector Nakamori was looked at the newest Kid number, which was nothing but numbers. He couldn't believe this. It was nothing but numbers and a 'cute' little Kid drawling at the bottom of the page. He then swore to kill Kid the next time he saw him. He scratched his head. The note seemed simple enough, as long as the code was really going to be in English. He was so screwed if it wasn't.

The Code:

First Line: 15 14 – 4-28-2010:9- 23 9 12 12 – 2 5 – 20 1 11 9 14 7 – 20 8 5

Second Line: 19 20 1 18 – 20 8 1 20 – 9 19- 3 21 18 18 5 14 20 12 25- 12 15 3 1 20 5 4

Third Line: 9 14- 13 9 20 19 21 9 – 13 21 19 5 21 13-

Fourth Line: 9 – 23 9 12 12- 2 15 13 5- 23 8 5 14- 20 8 5- 8 1 14 4 19-

Last Line: 13 5 5 20- 20 8 5- 19 20 1 18 19- 20 15 7 5 20 8 5 18

-1412

He really hated Kaitou Kid sometimes! Seriously leaving him with nothing but numbers as a clue.

-*-

Conan had found the Kaitou Heist note in his mailbox that morning and almost laughed at how simple it was. He guessed that Kid really wanted him to show up. Couldn't kid have spaced it out better then:

15144282010

Line 1: 92391212 – 25 – 201119147 – 2085

Inspector Nakamori had probably gotten a much clear notice then he did. He chuckled as he took the note to school with him. Nakamori looked over his shoulder when she and Kaito had managed to catch up with him. She scolded at the note. "I can't believe him! Ohhh my dad will totally catch him!" She declared with a confident smile, then frowned. "Mouri-kun how did you get that note? Otou-san gotten one last night."

Conan smirked, "I left him with a message the last time I confronted him on Beika museum. I guess he finally wants an answer. Well at least I have something to do in class now." Kaito had started acting up like a little fan-boy at the mention of Kid, which in turn ended up with Aoko whipping out her magical mop-fu on the boy.

April 28; I can't wait. Conan thought sarcastically as he followed the pair into the school.

-Chapter Five End-

Okay this code is so easy! Feel free to give the answers in the reviews! If you really want to challenge yourself use Conan's note. It's much harder without spaces. I probably used the easiest riddle in the world.
