This world seriously needs more KaiShin…
As always, a KID's heist would be packed full of policemen, police cars, complete with those annoying sirens, a whole crowd filled with KID fans, and most importantly, a very fired up Inspector Nakamori. "KID! TONIGHT WILL BE THE NIGHT WHERE WE WILL CATCH YOU!" he said to the TV cameras.
Shinichi could only smile. 'I'll leave the news stuff to Nakamori-keibu, then,' he thought, sneaking away. For now, he settled for searching for possible exits KID might use whilst running away from those annoying reporters (which would trap him until it was, like, one minute till the heist starts… Not a good idea, in Shinichi's mind.)
After finding out all the possible exit routes, he smiled. Through the window, emergency exit, rooftop… Even the air vents. Just as he walked towards the door leading to the exhibit room, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He gasped and stopped in his tracks at once, using both of his hands to clutch at his heart, realizing that his left hand had a broken wrist way too late.
'Calm down, Shinichi… If you don't keep your cool now… Then this pain would only escalate…' he tried to reason with himself. After a few attempts in calming himself down, he finally did. Composing himself and masking his scent, which he knew would come out soon, estimating his heat within a few hours or so, he took a glance at the clock before opening the door.
'One more minute…'
Ran and Sonoko stood in the middle of the crowd. "I really, really hope that KID-sama notices me this time~" Sonoko said with glee. "Sonoko… Aren't you already noticed by him? You know, like that time when he put that tiara on your head?"
"Haah? That was just him returning what he stole, right?" she said. "But…" Ran started.
"WHAT I MEAN IS… if he just knelt in front of me, and then he conjured the crystal petal flower out of nowhere… And then, he'll say… 'Like a flower, you're also beautiful, but unlike the others, you're also made of crystal petals… And that's what makes you truly beautiful…' Kyaa~" Sonoko squealed and blushed at her own daydream.
Ran was all too familiar with this pattern, so she just sighed and looked upwards, searching for nothing in particular. "Hmm… KID's got good taste, huh?" someone said in front of them. "Sh-Shinichi?!" Ran exclaimed, but when the person turned, it wasn't her childhood friend.
"A-ah… Sorry, I mistook you for another person…" she said, bowing slightly. "No worries, I'm often mistaken as Kudou-kun," Kaito said, grinning. "Eh? You know Shinichi?" Ran asked.
"Yeah, he's a college friend," he said, a lopsided grin still on his face. Ran hummed in acknowledgement. "Huh? Who's this guy?" Sonoko asked. "Ah, sorry for not introducing myself fisrt. I'm Kuroba Kaito." He extended his hand for a hand shake. "Mouri Ran. And this is my friend, Suzuki Sonoko," she said with a kind smile, taking his hand and shaking them.
Kaito looked at his watch and grinned. "One more minute," he said and turned his attention towards the crystal petal flower which was guarded by numerous policemen. He grinned, taking a step further from Ran and nearing the flower. With a press of a button, the lights went out, and he stepped onto the exhibition pedestal, wearing his full KID gear.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" he started, glee apparent in his voice. Earlier panicked gasps and anticipation and worry, mixed together had turned into delight and cheer when spotlights shone only at him. "Good evening," he bowed. KID fans screamed and fangirled, Nakamori and his task force shouted orders for the lights to be turned on, and KID smiled at all that.
He then plucked the flower out of the pedestal and put it upon his nose, as if sniffing for the flowers scent. "Such a beautiful flower…" he said, remembering Sonoko's words. "'But unlike others, you're made of crystal petals… And that's what makes you truly beautiful…' Right?" he winked, earning an ear splitting squeal from all the girls in the crowd.
"HE NOTICED ME, RAN!" Sonoko shout-whispered to Ran, excited. Ran forced a smile and endured the loud noises Sonoko made afterwards.
Kaito then noticed a sweet scent which thrilled him and turned towards the source. Shinichi stood with his breath noticeably not-so controlled. He was gasping for air, but tried to make it go unnoticed. But the thief knew him better after a few semesters of college to not notice it. "Aah, Tantei-kun," he greeted. Shinichi took a deep breath before replying, "Hello, Thief-san…"
Kaito smirked and with a smoke-and-glitters explosion, he said, "Let us begin the chase, shall we?"
Escaping the smoke and glitter bomb, Shinichi followed pursuit, following KID's voice and calculating the possible escape routes in his head. "The rooftop!" he mumbled. KID was way ahead of him, but he wasn't gonna fret over it.
Because he knew that he has faster feet than the thief's.
"I'm in position," Chianti said into her ear piece. "Good," Gin replied. "Shoot the second you have him in your sight."
"Roger~"
Gin smiled coldly as he waited on the rooftop. Once KID opened the door to the rooftop, he grinned. "You can stop hiding, now," KID said, his back still facing Gin. "Heh… How did you know?" Gin said, a cold sneer in his voice. He then stepped out of his hiding place.
"Following Kudou Shinichi… Dressed as a college student? You were hard to pass by once someone look into your eyes."
"Hmm…" The Alpha in black grinned and pointed a gun towards the Alpha in white. The two emitted their dominant scent, creating a battle over dominance in which neither was backing down. Then, a very, very strong sweet scent filled the air.
Gin, smelling it for the first time, was surprised by how much the scent affected him. KID smiled and threw a small ball the size of a pebble in his direction which let out sleeping gas. Gin pulled the trigger and a bullet sped up until it hit the rooftop door. Shinichi panted, not realizing that he'd just saved the thief's life. The thief then activated the KID hang glider dummy without the detective noticing.
"KID," he said, out of breath. "Good evening, Tantei-kun… What a sweet coincidence to meet you here…" he said, stepping into the center of the open rooftop, holding out the crystal petal flower to examine it. 'Not this one, huh?'
He shrugged and turned towards Shinichi, who took slow steps toward the thief, oblivious to the strong scent he was emitting. His attention was fully taken by the thief. Their eyes met. Both shared excitement, each in different ways. KID walked towards the detective and used a hand to cup his cheek. Surprised, Shinichi stopped in his tracks, blue eyes widening in curiosity and anticipation, curious as of to what the thief might do next.
"You're beautiful that way," KID said fondly, drinking at the sight of a very confused detective. With a quick peck on his forehead, he placed the flower on the said detective's ear, making him wear it whilst he blushed. "Y-you…!"
"I what? Tantei-kun?" KID teased. Shinichi let out a small growl in which the thief chuckled at. "Very, very beautiful, especially with that flower, ne?"
Shinichi's hand flew up to the flower. 'Wh-when?!'
A small reflection from a nearby abandoned building took his attention, and a small 'bang' made him move fast. Grabbing the thief's shoulders, he pushed him, and finally remembering that his wrist was broken. He paused involuntarily from pain and another pain bloomed from his left upper arm. Blood splattered on the rooftop tile as the two rivals-friends-frenemies?-companions fell.
"K-Kudou-kun?!" KID exclaimed when he saw the wound. "Hang in there, Kudou-kun!"
Shinichi couldn't see and hear anything, due to the pain. But he was vaguely aware of keep him conscious. The thief examined the arm for a moment and saw that the bullet had gone through. An arm held Shinichi in place, which was right on top of him with both of his feet on either side of the detective. The other hand stroked his scent gland in an attempt to ease the pain, because he was overwhelmed by the distressed and pain signals the detective was emitting.
Hearing multiple footsteps, KID activated a smoke bomb and changed from his KID gear into his normal, casual clothes. "KID! I KNOW THOSE ARE DUMMIES!" Nakamori said, his whole body twinkled from the glitter he activated along with the first smoke bomb earlier. "K-Kaito?!"
"Nakamori-keibu…" he said, showing him the fallen detective. "K-Kudou-kun?!" Nakamori said in double surprise. "What happened?!"
"I don't know… but it seems like he was shot when KID had ran away. When I arrived, he was shot."
"Call an ambulance!" he ordered and his men saluted before doing what he ordered them to. Kaito took a small glance at the place where the silver haired man should be sleeping, but he was already gone. He clicked his tongue.
Shiho and Akemi was sitting at the Agasa residence's living room, watching the TV about KID's heist. "Shinichi-kun's supposed to be there, right?" Akemi said excitedly. Shiho sipped her tea and nodded. "He's always there for a heist…"
She trailed off as the reporter's cheerful appearance turned alert. "Just now, a detective was shot on the rooftop, and the only one who witnessed it claimed that KID had ran away before the said detective was shot!"
Shiho stood in alarm. 'C-calm down… There are supposed to be lots of detectives there, right?' Shiho reasoned. But when she saw the person who was being carried into an ambulance, she tensed. "K-Kudou… kun…" she mumbled.
Akemi looked at her and looked at the TV again and she paled.
"Aniki!" Vodka said as Gin walked weakly towards their hideout for this time's heist. "That… bastard…" Gin said before falling unconscious. His mind drifted towards the Omega with the extremely sweet scent. It wasn't disgusting, if he were to say honestly. After all, Gin did like sweets.
It was more tempting than anything else. Gin had to hold himself back from acting rashly, just because of that scent alone. He licked his lips and growled, even though he knew that he was unconscious. The voice that called KID's name when the door opened…
He knew it from stalking one person in particular within the past week. Kudou Shinichi had emitted a scent in which he liked, that alone was an amazing feat. No other Omegas could do that, even if he had gone to numerous in-heat Omegas who wanted to capture his heart.
'Love and like are different, but the two are equally dangerous… Seeing that the two could be the fall of me,' he grimly thought.
"Kudou-kun!" Shiho said, barging into Shinichi's room once she saw the lights turn on from her room. The one who greeted her, was a Shinichi-like person with untamed hair. She knew him, seeing that she went with Professor Agasa sometimes to make deliveries. "… Kuroba-kun…" she said quietly.
"Yo, Ojou-chan," he said, equally quiet. "How's Kudou-kun?"
"Doctors said that he should take it easy, seeing that his wrist's also broken. No painkillers, though. It's dangerous, seeing that he's in a state of in-heat…" Kaito said. Shiho nodded in agreement. "His type of heat is special, should I say?" the scientist said thoughtfully.
"Special? How?"
"Normally, in-heat states would last for about 2-3 days. His type lasts for at most one week. I've been working on suppressants which would shorten his in-heat state time, but," she shook her head. "It's easier said than done."
Kaito nodded in approval. "Well," he said, KID's tone acting up again. Shiho looked at him with a slightly bored look. "How about I take care of him?"
"Take care of him… You don't mean…"
Kaito smiled.
"This is just your instincts acting up, huh?" Shiho sighed. "Alright. I'll do my best to help ward off unnecessary 'disruption'. Just don't go overboard. Oh, and another thing," she added. "If something feels off, tell me immediately."
"Why?" Kaito asked. "Research purposes," she smiled. Kaito gave her an unimpressed smile. "Alright."
"Well, good night," she said before leaving the two alone. Only then did Kaito let out a breath he didn't realize was holding. Seeing the sleeping detective, he sat on the edge of Shinichi's bed, taking in the innocent face of his crush.
