Summary: He's not sure how he got there, but all he sees is Red.
Author's Notes: Italics are Kaitou's thoughts. Evil Plunny attacked me during class. I don't like these plunnies, they depress me.
He doesn't know how he got up there. All he knows is that he was on the ground teasing them and then the shot was fired and - NO! - and then he was up here staring at the scene. Not that he really sees it. All he can see right now is red.
Red.
The color of her underwear, when he checked that morning at school. She was so mad...
Red.
The rose he gave her before going to prepare for the heist. The color of her blush.
Red.
His tie, bright against his shirt. Bright like her.
Red.
The podium that night's heist was sitting on. It was such a small detail...
Red
The shirt she wore to the heist. She looked great in it, too.
Red
The laser dot that traveled up his body. That's why I'm wearing a bullet-proof vest
Everything stopped when the shot fired. Everyone saw her protect the thief she hated.
Everyone stared until a half-stifled sob from above them drew their attention up to the Phantom Thief in the rafters. When had he gotten up there?
Sitting on the rafters, heist in hand, he was staring at Aoko as he tried to stifle his sobs. As the moon came out from behind a cloud, its rays hit the gem and they saw it.
Red
Her blood, as it spread from the wound in her chest. Why did she protect him?
Red
The color the gem glowed in the moonlight, too late to save her.
Three more coming just as soon as I type them up. They're posted to my LJ, and then here.
