Declaimer: I don´t own Detective Conan

A/N: Hello again. :) Did you miss me? XD I will start to name the chapters, just for fun... and to organize the ideas. Here it goes, enjoy :)


The darkness controlled the night, ordering everyone to sleep a dreamless dream. However, two pair of eyes ignored the silent rule, a flashlight in their hands showing a paper with many drawings.

"We can´t do this!" One of them whispered, crossing the drawing. "Dad is a well-known magician, thief and, more importantly, mom´s husband. Do you really think he would fall for such a cheap trick?"

The other one sighed disappointed, making sure to draw that plan on another paper. "Well, maybe we can use it on Kobayashi-sensei later… she would fall for sure." A wide grin flashed in the darkness for some seconds, before the little child sighed again. "Then what? We cannot use the mouse excuse again. He will know."

"Calm down, Sora." The other one warned, giving her a reproving look. It was mid-night already and they were supposed to sleep… However, they had plans to make, and sleeping wasn´t a good way to do it. "We only locked him there twice, so we still have many options."

Violet eyes rolled in the darkness, and they focused on the plans once again. So far, the rat, cake and fire plans were rejected. Not only because they would not work against father, but also because if they followed with the last plan, mom would freak out. And there was no way she would buy that dad decided to cook in the basement… again.

A few moments of silence followed that, before Sora sighed again. Now she was sighing too much… all because of dad. "I guess there is no other way…" Blue eyes shot towards her surprised, blinking a few times before an uncharacteristic grin rose to his face. "Yes, I am talking about that… The problem will be doing it without mom noticing… and while dad is in the basement or near."

Shiro nodded excited, grinning even more. Actually, it was so rare to see him showing the Kuroba-grin that Sora couldn´t help but smile too. Now dad was really done for… "Don´t worry, I´ll come up with something. Now, before they notice, let´s go sleep."

The girl nodded, climbed to her bed… before realizing she didn´t want to sleep alone. Glancing around, she took her blankets, quietly joining her brother. "If you don´t mind…" She added a little shyly, realizing she was getting too old to sleep with her brother. However, she was still just six, so for now, for now… it was fine.

Rolling his eyes, Shiro turned to her and hugged, searching for some warmth. "You know I don´t mind…" He murmured back, falling asleep in seconds. Yes, for now, it was fine…


When morning came, it was already Friday. On Friday´s, Kaito didn´t work. Well, he did, but only at morning, since he wanted to be home when Shinichi came back. Each day she was the one waiting for him, and it pained him to see her so little. So, considering she only had work until six, unless some case happened, she would come back soon. And truly, he knew nothing would happen.

After all, Kaito went to such length to protect his Friday that he even visited her work… and made sure that even if cases did appear, they would never go to his Shin-chan. Nope, not when he was around. Friday was his day, and there were only two people in the world who could share it or, in some cases, claim.

So as he sat happily in the library, reading the latest book Kudo-san, Shin-chan´s father, had produced, since he, despite being married to Shinichi, still wanted to be on her father´s good side (he had surprisingly many, many pictures of Shinichi he hadn't seen yet… and was dying to); he really had no idea what his little angels were doing. Or maybe they were devils… Well, it depended on the day… or around whom they were.

Anyway, he knew they were home, since they had classes only at morning; but for some reason the house had been to quiet. Like they went out… However, the adult knew they couldn´t have gone out, since Shinichi had told them not to. Moreover, unlike how it happened when it came to him, they listened to her every word.

Nevertheless, the silence was a worrying aspect. It really was, since it either meant they were in trouble or planning to get in trouble… Hopefully, it wasn´t regarding school. Now that he was a parent, his actions in middle and high school seemed really stupid. Just yesterday, he got a scolding from their teacher regarding child rising methods… No wonder his parents were never at home… or answer the phone when it was someone whom they didn´t know…

"Sora!" Kaito called, waiting some seconds for an answer. "Shiro!" Still no answer. And he was started getting worried… "Shiro! Sora!" Walking out of the library, since there was no way those rascals could be there, he would have known; Kaito adventured through the Kudo house feeling rather… worried. How long had the house been quiet? He didn´t know… the book was rather interesting and he got lost in it…

"SORA!" Staring to lose his cool, the color disappeared from Kaito´s face. What if someone kidnapped them? Oh no… He and Shinichi were rather famous, and despite all their efforts to keep the twins safe, what if someone… and… He was so going to kill someone! And no one would ever find out…

"Dad?" Turning around, confused, surprised and relived, Kaito´s dead glare disappeared the moment he started into those violet eyes that meant only one person, Sora! "Sorry, we were in the basement playing and then… and…"

Sighing in relief, Kaito ran forward and grabbed her, laughing happily. "Warn me next time, you little devil. You know how worried I was?" The girl smiled in return and nodded, hugging her dad tightly. She loved him and he was the best dad ever… however, a night sleeping with only mom was a serious business, and family ties were unimportant in that game.

"Sorry. We will." Putting the little girl down, the grown up searched for the other one, frowning. "This is why I came searching for you. Shiro fell from the stairs and got locked in the basement… and since you took the key, I can´t open it."

Blinking at her, he couldn´t resist but smile at her childish pout. Well, she was a child… the cutest one in his opinion, along with her brother. Who cared what other people said? Those two were his little cute angels! "Oh… Got it. I better work on that door later…"

The basement door had an auto lock, for some strange reason, and ever since the last time those two locked him in there, he had taken the only key away from them. He kept it with him all the time, since he knew those two would love to lock him in there again, but there was no way he would let Shiro stay there all by himself. The basement was a strange place… he truly feared for his life the last time he had been there. Damn, he could swear there had been someone watching him!

"Hurry, hurry!" Sora called, running towards the basement. Following her, Kaito took out the key. Well, he had searched the house over and over again looking for intruders… so maybe that had been only a feeling… "Dad!"

Rolling his eyes, Kaito jumped quickly to the door, opening it without thinking twice. The place was dark, maybe because Shiro forgot to turn the light on. Shiro disliked small places, but had no fear of darkness for some reason… that reason possibly related to the fact he had brought both twins with him to a heist once and they ended up closed in a room with no light for over three hours… Good memories.

"Shiro?" Kaito called, walking in to turn the light on… when something strange happened. All of sudden, for no apparent reason, he became sleepy. No, before it, he felt something wet touch his skin. And then, a mosquito bite… Wait, basement… sleepiness… "You two little…"

Falling forward, the light on for some reason, the grown up saw the twins appear before him with identical Kid grin´s. "Sorry." Shiro stated, but Kaito knew they weren´t sorry at all.

With his last bit of strength, he mumbled. "You won this round…"


Shinichi arrived some minutes later than usual, but considering she had brought some chicken with her, it was okay. However, what she wasn´t expecting was to find the twins all alone waiting for her at home, identical grins to their father´s pasted on their faces. It was somewhat creepy, considering he only showed it to her when he did or was planning to do something bad; but she was used to it already.

"I´m home." The detective stated, looking for her husband. Kaito was supposed to be at home that day… he had been home every Friday until then. "Your father?"

"He went out." Shiro answered, hugging his mother tightly. "Someone from work called a few minutes ago. Apparently one of the magician´s got hurt, so they needed someone to take his place…"

"And since dad is a great magician, they asked him." Sora completed grinning even more. "You know, you know, today I managed to scare our PE teacher!" And from that point on, the twins started telling her every little detail regarding their school… what they did, who they pranked, what they learned, or didn´t learn… And so, Shinichi completely forgot to call Kaito at work, the simple idea of his existence slipping her mind.

By the time it was bed time, Shinichi started to get worried. Sure, she hadn´t called Kaito at work since he was busy and she had twins to worry about, those little balls of energy; but now she was starting to wonder if he really was at work. Usually, he gave no night shows. There were some exceptions, sure, but even so…

Therefore, after calling to make sure there was a night show that day, and trying to call Kaito´s manager before the twins interrupted her, she went to sleep. However, she did not go alone. At times when Kaito was out of town or at work at night, twins liked to sneak into her bed to sleep with her. Therefore, after the few times where she actually freaked out, because honestly, who in their right mind sneak into other´s bed without asking for permission, (her husband… when they were dating… and even before…); it became almost a tradition.

"Good night mom." Shiro and Sora said in unison, kissing their mother with a smile. The detective kissed them back and covered the blankets around them carefully, unable to keep the smile away from her own face. She loved those small moments when they were all alone. Those were her children, the one´s she had carried in her womb and gave birth too. The one´s she had struggled to cure when they were sick, helped them learn to walk and talk… she loved them more than anyone, and having them so close to her reminded her of those times when they were still in her womb.

"Good night, my angels." Shinichi murmured into the night, turning off the little and hugging them. The little children shivered for a few moments because of her cold skin, but soon it warmed up and they began to fall asleep. Together, just like when they were still so little. "Good night…"


Violet eyes opened in the darkness… and then they closed again, because opening them was a pain and their owner wanted to sleep. The twins would come the next day anyway, so there was no other option but to go and sleep until it came.

Urg, the ground wasn´t soft. Oh well, it wasn't supposed to be… maybe he should change it later. That basement could be a really cool place to have a secret room or something… Oh, wait, so that´s why the auto lock. Kudo Yusaku sure was a box of surprises… or maybe it was his wife? Damn, Yukiko-oba… no, no, she would kill him if he said that. Yukiko-oneesan sure was scary…

Opening the eyes again, eyeing the darkness, messy haired man stood up. He was sleepy, but he needed to find a better place to sleep. Considering the fact twins were still children, and had no real strength, it meant they left him somewhere near the entrance.

Searching for a wall, he quickly found it and the light switch, lightning up the room. Oh god, now his eyes were burning! Damn it, he should have expected that! Okay, okay, it did not hurt. It only burnt like crazy! Why did the eyes hurt so much when the light was turned on… no, actually he wasn´t interested in that. Shiro would be, but not him…

Opening his eyes slowly, careful not to stare at the light, Kaito blinked surprised. So his kids still loved him after all… not as much as their mother, but there was still some love for him. Smirking at the blanket, fluffy pillows, chocolates, food and water; Kaito couldn´t help but feel loved. The blanket was his favorite, chocolates all just like he liked… "They shouldn´t have…"

Sitting down, taking the chocolates and starting eating them, he wondered how long their little game had been going on without Shinichi really noticing… probably ever since the twins were born. He loved them, those little tinny creature´s which where his children, but the truth is he was a little bit jealous of them. They had Shin-chan´s attention no matter what, while he had sometimes to wait until she finished her case just to stare at her… that was rather irritating and annoying.

Therefore, when they were two or so, he started playing a game with them, in which they would compete for their mother´s attention. When the other, or others, admitted defeat, the winner/s had the privilege of spending all his/their time with her. And the loser/s wouldn´t say a thing!

At first, he won all the time. He was smarter, faster and stronger than those little pests. However, they grew quickly, and before he knew it, they found ways to win against him… Such as locking him in that basement. "They grew up so quickly…" The dark haired man couldn´t help but sigh, covering himself with the blanket.

It was then that he felt something strange… someone watching over him, his every move, every breath… It was creepy how close the observer was, and yet Kaito knew there was no way someone could be there. He had checked for cameras, finding none, so it was impossible someone was watching him…

"Forget it, it´s just an impression…" Yes, it was just an illusion… he was so used of being watched by other people that when there were no people around, he imagined someone was watching him. That must be it… It couldn´t be the house… No, because Akako´s ramblings were just strange things and there was no way a house could hate him so much… He done nothing to angry the house! Well, aside from playing a few pranks and breaking in a few times…

No, it was just his imagination! There was no way that house was hunted, or had a will as Akako said! No. Way. In. Hell.

Yes, there was no… something fell. A drop of water, something fell in the empty room where nothing could have fallen, and Kaito jumped up confused and surprised. Something else fell. This time it shattered, but once again, all he heard was the sound of it. And he knew it had to have fallen in the basement, since the walls were sound proof both ways.

Standing up, violet eyes searched the floor for something. Something that would tell him it was real and that he wasn´t going crazy as Hakuba had feared so many times. However, there was nothing. Just the things the twins brought him…

The basement was a medium room with no secret passages and just one door. One door that locked automatically, and there was usually nothing inside of it. Therefore, from where did the sound come from…

Laying on the ground, covering his head as a bomb exploded right next to him, even though there was nothing, Kaito wanted to run away. That and make an appointment with a doctor… "What the…?" He mumbled, wary eyes searching the place. One more bomb exploded, loudly, right next to his ear… and he jumped up.

"Stop it!" Kaito yelled, confused, and rather scared. It was just an illusion… just a sound. For a moment, the room fell silent. However, the adult didn´t relax waiting and searching for anything unusual. There was nothing, and the room continued silent…

Catching his stuff, the messy haired magician went to sit in a corner, wary eyes never leaving the room. Something strange was going on, and he would figure it out.

Twenty or so minutes passed without anything happening, and somehow the magician began to believe it was just his imagination. Maybe those sleeping drugs the twins gave him made him hallucinate… Yes, that must be it. Or so he thought, before a bullet sound ringed by his ear, and he yelled loudly from the shock it gave him.


The next morning, when Shinichi left to by some groceries, the twins opened the door to the basement, ending up staring at a strangely nervous Kaito who quickly run towards the phone to call Akako to ask her for advice. Blinking from surprise, wondering why their father was so nervous, the twins decided to spend the night in the basement, to see if something would happen. If something happened, it would be so cool!

Little did they know, or anyone know, the fun the house had last night, playing with Kaito every minute she felt like it. It took a lot of energy to reproduce those sounds she remembered hearing in other eras, but it still had been fun. Maybe the next time the twins locked him there she would try to make the things move... Oh my, such a good idea. Time to rest~


A/N: So, what did you think? A lot of line breakers, but somehow putting it that way seemed to much more interesting. :) I really was unsure how to end it...

Bunnyz-chan: Did you read mine mind or something? XD Give the house a moment and she will make good use of it... Poor Kaito... he really did feel like he was in the middle of a battlefield.

Yuki Amami: He taught them, so he had no room to complain about it. XD

: Yes, the house has a fan... Oh, now I need to make one completely about her... Especially about how she came to hate Kaito so much XD

Thanks for reviewing, following and etc. XD It makes mine time thinking of them and writing matter... Thanks a lot! ^.^ 3 XD
