I disclaim it... or most of it!!!

Author notes: well... even though I regret putting up that Wednesday update... this story is going way better than I expected... this chapter was written on Friday 25th December after all...

But if my intuition is right... this story might last 'till 13 chap's so I'll keep writing... since it's not school until 4th January... I have plenty of time XD

And this might end up as my first long story that I'm finishing.

Reviews:

It will come now!!!

Thanks for review XD

Enjoy~

Tales that makes third times a charm.

"Hey Shin-chan... why where you so weird yesterday?" Kaito asked as Shinichi sat down on his desk beside him.

Although Shinichi hid his blush as he thought of yesterday, he didn't quite understand what he meant.

"What do you mean Kaito?" he asked.

Kaito didn't smile, nor did he frown, he just showed a casual and plane face.

"At school... you where acting as if you had someone by you, who you didn't really like?!" he said matter-of-factly.

Shinichi turned pale.

Had his worry showed so easily?

"What do you... come with me!" Shinichi finished and dragged Kaito up from his chair and towards the door.

"But Shin-chan... it's only ten minutes 'till school starts..." but shut up when he noticed a spaced glance, that hit his neck and turned into a hated look.

He turned a little, but by the time his eyes searched trough the class, the hated look was gone and no one seemed to be paying attention to them.

-.-.-.-.-.-

"Hey Shin-chan... what is it?" Kaito asked as they entered the roof.

"Did you feel a thing when we left the classroom?" Shinichi asked and let go off Kaito's hand.

"Huh.. oh, I did!" he answered and watched Shinichi's face grow worried.

"Yeah... I bet you did... I got that too when I left the room with you yesterday..." then Shinichi fell silent.

"Do you know who it is?" Kaito asked.

Shinichi turned to him and shook his head.

"No... but I think I might know... but I've got no evidence..."

Kaito smiled.

"Does it matter?" he asked and Shinichi's look hardened

"Yes... it does... if I have right... then I.. then..." he fell silent yet again.

"Shin-chan... why did you act so weird then?" Kaito asked and sat down on the floor.

Shinichi sat down beside him, leaning against the wall, he looked up at the sky.

"Ran... three days ago... the day... when you..." he blushed and Kaito laughed.

"When I did that you mean?"

Shinichi nodded.

"Yes... that day, I met Ran in town... apparently she was waiting for her date!"

Kaito went pale.

"Ran-chan... date?" he asked.

Shinichi nodded.

"I played as if I didn't care and the next day... she acted as if it hadn't happened at all..."

"Shin-chan.. do you think it's Ran-chan... who does... gives off that kind of a look?" Kaito asked and hoped not.

"Probably... but... why, I do not know!" Shinichi answered as the school-bell chimed for the school to start.

Both boys got up in speed and ran as fast as they could, past some teachers and straight to their classroom.

-.-.-.-.-.-

"Haaaaa... I really hate it when the teachers give us so much work.." Kaito pouted.

Shinichi smiled to himself.

"Then why do you go to school if you hate it?" he asked.

Kaito turned fast.

"No way... firstly... I wont be able to see you that often, second, I don't have problem with the work... it's just..."

"Boring?" Shinichi asked with a laugh.

Kaito snorted and stared out in nothing.

The sun showed no mercy to anyone as the hot sun bathed everywhere.

Kaito sighted and opened his shirt.

Shinichi followed his example and buttoned up his shirt too.

"Hey Kaito... if you went to Ekoda... did you ever meet Hakuba Saguru?" Shinichi asked and Kaito suddenly jumped up.

"Don'.him!" Kaito said.

Shinichi stared with shock at him as he sat down.

"So I take it you knew him?" he asked amused of Kaito's reaction.

"That bastard and I where in the same class... if he hadn't been, he probably wouldn't have hung over me each time a new KID note was sent out!" Kaito explained irritated.

Shinichi nodded and grinned.

"I understand... but... uh" the he fell silent.

Shinichi had looked over at Kaito, whom looked back.

Deep blue eyes, sweating a little, brown hair sticking to his forehead.

"Eh... Kaito?" Shinichi asked as Kaito had moved towards him.

"Hm?" Kaito mumbled as their lips connected.

"Chocolate" reached Shinichi's mind.

"Huh?" he thought and his eyes widened, Kaito was staring back at him throughout the whole kiss.

"Your blood, it smelled and tasted like chocolate that night!" a voice told him.

"W-who?" Shinichi was now more than shocked and so confused his eyes looked like they would fall out any minute.

Shinichi didn't move nor blink as Kaito only smiled amused back.

"You haven't figured out your other abilities yet?" he asked when he backed off.

Shinichi looked so confused that he wasn't thinking clearly.

"W-what?"

Kaito sighted and smirked.

"We can hear... thoughts and speak trough each others mind... I've tried to do that to the other in the class, but your the only one I'm able to speak with trough out minds... I can hear the others thoughts though..." he said and hugged Shinichi.

"Oh..." Shinichi let out and spaced out, this would give him the ability to read the murderers' thoughts before and after the murders, easily finding the truth, though the only negative, was that he had to find proof for what he could find out.

"Shin-chan... wake up... class is about to start!" Kaito said and shook Shinichi gently awake.

"Hn.. okay..." Shinichi mumbled.

As he stood up, dizziness caught him and his legs gave away under him.

Kaito heard a soft tud behind him as he had turned away.

He turned quickly and looked down on Shinichi's pale body, the sun was high over them.

"Oi Shin-chan... hey... Shinichi!" Kaito yelled out and came to his friends rescue.

Shinichi only heard half of it.

Heard his name, but he could move, nor answer.

Then it all went black.

-.-.-.-.-.-

Shinichi groaned and turned over, almost falling out of the bed as he tried to turn away from the light.

His eyes flipping open as he understood that he was no longer on the roof.

He shoot up, but dizziness forced him to lay down.

"Oh... Kudou-kun... your awake?" it was the school-doctor Tomoaki Araide.

"Hn... oh, Araide-sensei... where... um, what?" Shinichi managed to say.

Araide smiled.

"Sunstroke, your friend, Kuroba-kun, he went back to class after coming here with you... he was really worried too"

Shinichi nodded and looked up into the roof.

"But I've got to ask... because your friend didn't tell me much... what happened?" Araide asked.

Shinichi sat up slowly and leaned against his pillow.

"I think we both fell asleep under the sun on the roof... Kaito woke me up right before the bell rang... but I don't remember much after that..." Shinichi explained and looked down.

"It's okay... I think that Kuroba-kun was lucky then, because if he had gotten a sunstroke too... no one would find you and you could have died" Araide said, he didn't smile anymore either.

Shinichi looked at him and felt guilty.

"Y-yeah... um, when is the class finished?" he asked.

Araide turned and looked at the clock on the wall, 14 PM.

"The school will be finished in half an hour!" he answered and saw Shinichi swallow.

"It's okay... just stay here and take it easy, or you might not be able to leave just yet!" Araide said and Shinichi nodded.

"I'll try to sleep then!" he said and Araide smiled.

"Yeah... try that" then he went back to his paper-work.

Shinichi closed his eyes and tried to calm down, sliding back under the thin sheets, his eyes where heavy and he wasn't actually fighting against it, so soon he was sound asleep.

-.-.-.-.-.-

"Hey Shin-chan.. wake up" a gentle and warm, yet worried and nervous voice shook him out of his sleep.

"Hm.. oh, Kaito... what's up?" Shinichi asked and sat up.

"Are you going to sleep here tonight... the school's finished!" Kaito said and smiled.

Shinichi blushed and got out of the bed.

Kaito eyed the detective for a moment.

"Your pale!" he commented and Shinichi turned into a darker shade of red.

"I bet I am... so, shall we leave?"

They said goodbye to Araide and closed the door to the infirmary, they walked down and out of the school while talking and laughing like friends.

Kaito noticed that someone stood by the gate and his face turned into stone.

Shinichi looked up and paled.

"R-Ran..." he mumbled.

They came over to her, Kaito smiled then turned to Shinichi.

"I'll see you later Shin-chan!" then he ran off.

"H-hey... damnit!" Shinichi cursed and noted mentally that he would give Kaito a lecture about the Shin-chan-thing later.

"Shinichi!" Ran said and cut Shinichi off his rant.

"W-what?" he asked and eyed the somewhat lower girl.

"Are you just going to stand there?" she asked, a vein pulsing on her forehead.

"Eh... no, of course not... lets go!" Shinichi said and started to wander off towards Ran's house so that he could get rid of her.

"The sooner the better" he thought and his thoughts started to wander off when Ran again cut him off.

"Hey Shinichi... how do you and Kaito-kun know each other?" she asked.

Shinichi shivered, he could almost see the suspicious aura around her.

"Eh... we.. we met some time ago, maybe a year or something... why?" he asked and Ran quickly snapped back.

"Because!" she said.

Shinichi stared shocked at her.

"Ran... you know, that you have nothing to do with who I met and hang out with?!" he said and Ran's face got one more wrinkle.

"I just..." then she fell silent, walking faster she was soon ahead of him, but he didn't bother to catch up with her.

He turned and walked over the street, turned around a corner, he started on his way home.

"Oh... I have an appointment with that doc..." then he ushered to the hospitale in full speed.

Finally leaving the hospitale later that day, he finally made his way home.

As he walked trough the 4th street, he ended up by a mansion-like house.

Light where shining trough the glass.

"Huh... isn't that..." he thought and moved closer, of course it was.

It was the house where Yoshida Ayumi, Genta Kojima and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko had dragged him to this house, they called it the Haunted house, but the ghostly appearances and the screaming at night was all but caused by the people who had ''moved-away''-lived there, because they thought, or the mother thought that if she hid the truth about her husbands murder, then, they, after Shinichi closed the case, gave the truth to the police the day after.

Shinichi didn't hate the house, but after almost being killed in there, it was still a wonder that he managed to pass it each day.

But now, someone was living there, who?

He came up to the gate and peeked inside.

The grass was cut, flowers where blooming and everything looked more like a dream-like castle, than the old, ghost house he had seen a year ago.

He stared at the window, where light streamed trough.

Someone moved on the inside, a figure, short, not older than Shinichi.

As he came a little closer to the window and passed it, Shinichi got a shock.

"K-Kaito?" Shinichi opened the gate slowly and made his way to the entrance.

He stopped outside and wondered if he should ring the bell or not.

But he did, he pushed the button and only seconds later the door opened, Kaito peeked out and turned pale.

"S-Shin-chan?" he blurted out as he saw who it was.

"H-how did you..."

"Know that you live here... firstly... I saw you in the windows when I came by... I didn't know you had such a large family?" Shinichi finished with a question.

Kaito laughed.

"There is no huge family... just me and my mom... of course there is one other too" Kaito didn't feel like telling about Konsuke Jii just yet.

"By the way... you want to come in?" Kaito asked and smirked to Shinichi.

He blushed a little and nodded.

"Okay..." he mumbled and entered the Kuroba residence.

-.-.-.-.-.-

"Here you go... you wanted hot chocolate too right?" Kaito asked while laughing and gave one of the two cup he was holding onto, to Shinichi as he sat down on a couch in front of a large fire-place.

Shinichi had crawled up into the couch and was sitting with his arms around his legs.

He took the cup and smiled tired.

"Yeah... it's not like could have coffe right?" he asked.

Kaito pouted.

"Of course... mom drinks that... but I'm not so fond of it..."

Shinichi laughed.

"Yeah... I figured that!"

The rest of their time went on with talking about school, heist's and murders, along the way, Shinichi had fallen deeper into the couch and was now slumbering against Kaito's shoulder.

Kaito smiled.

"Can't you just stay over tonight?" he asked and Shinichi woke up from his daydreaming of finally have caught the crows and was running on a green, wide meadow with Kaito.

"Huh?" he asked and stared confused at Kaito.

"Stay over!" Kaito said.

Shinichi blushed and looked away.

"B-but... I... I" he was cut off as Kaito kissed him, deepening the kiss, Shinichi felt the urge to push Kaito down on the couch and ravish him.

"WHAT THE HECK AM I THINKING?" he thought and felt arms folding around him.

"K-Kaito..." Shinichi managed to think trough the heated kiss.

"Don't say anything yet Shin-chan.." came the answer and as they kept on, Shinichi thought of the good feeling inside him that was growing.

The beast inside, it purred at each of Kaito movement.

But when Kaito finally backed away, the beast protested and growled deeply.

Wich of course made Shinichi drag Kaito back into a new kiss.

Kaito seemed shocked, but did not protest nor fight against it.

As their kiss heated again, a feeling or more a small part inside made Shinichi's whole stomach spin and he had to let go.

"W-what is it Shin-chan?" Kaito asked, but Shinichi could tell that Kaito where going trough the same.

"What was that?" he asked and Kaito's face showed only confusion.

"Huh?"

"What was that right now... my stomach... i-it..." Shinichi tried to say when Kaito cut him off.

"I feel it too... I..." Kaito was cut off himself when a visible thread of chain's in a dark shade of red, the color of blood, showed, linking them together by their index-finger.

"Huh?" both said in unision as a small ball-like brown thing appeared between them.

"Hey... you two... are you Lovers?" it asked and both turned bright red.

Kaito, whom wasn't blushing that much nodded and opened his mouth to speak when that thing cut off.

"Good... as the Vampire's you are... keep yourself to the rules okay?" it said and with one shake of something that reminded them of a hand, a scroll appeared on the table in front of them.

Kaito wasn't sure of how to react, firstly he wanted to just pinch that thing, send it flying into the fireplace and watch it burn.

Second, he wanted to know why.

"Why the heck did you come first now?" Shinichi asked as if he was the one who just thought it all.

The thing moved up and down slowly.

"First now?" it asked with a high-pitched voice.

"Yeah... I was bitten over a month ago!" Kaito said to finish it.

The thing's eyes turned into the size of it's body and stopped moving around.

"Then... when did... your three kisses are the password..." it whispered slowly and both boys got a dark shade of pink on their cheeks.

"P-password?" Shinichi asked and wasn't entirely sure if he wanted to know.

"You know... three times a charm?!" Kaito joked and laughed.

Shinichi glared at him, wich made Kaito shut up.

"That's right!" the thing said and both boys turned into stone.

"Y-you mean..." Shinichi began.

The thing sighted.

"Three kisses.

One for the night.

One for the day.

And one for the dawn of love.

One is the thought.

Second is the act.

And third is the reaction.

A kiss for the Friendship.

A kiss for the Couple.

And a kiss the Lovers.

Unite and become Lovers of the day and night.

Feel the Bond.

See the Truth.

Smell the Passion.

And taste the Love"

The thing chimed with it's soprano-light voice.

Both boys looked more confused than understanding, but they nodded.

Then the thing smiled, or at least showed tiny sharp teeth.

"Good... then bye!" then the thing was gone in a blue-violet like smoke.

The teens sat there, just like two stone-pillars.

Non moved nor gave any hint of saying anything.

Then they heard a door slam and some shout.

"Kaito... Tadaima.." they both paled.

Kaito stood up, while slowly making his way to the door, he blinked amused to Shinichi, whom blushed and turned away with a "hmp"

"Okaeri Kaa-san..." Kaito said as he walked down the stairs towards her.

She smiled and then pushed something into his hands.

"What's this Kaa-san?" he asked, but she only smiled more and turned to head for the kitchen.

"Um... Kaa-san... I'm having a friend over for tonight... is that okay?" Kaito asked and watched his mother turned, no expression showing as a stiff smile grew into a more warm and welcoming smile.

"Of course... I expect you both down to dinner!" then she turned on her heels and marched to the kitchen.

Kaito sighted and walked back upstairs.

-.-.-.-.-.-

"Oh... Kaito... what's that?" Shinichi's uninterested look turned into a questioning one.

"Dunno... Kaa-san just brought it..." he sat down on the couch as he opened the dark-blue box.

They both peered into it and Shinichi sat up straight again, he thought it was just a joke, but when he saw the look on Kaito's face, he knew it wasn't.

"Kaito... what is that?" Shinichi asked slowly.

When Kaito didn't reply, Shinichi grew worried.

"Hey Kaito!" Shinichi said louder.

"W-what?" Kaito said and tried to hide his obvious shock of Shinichi scaring him.

"What is that?" Shinichi asked again and watched Kaito grow silent.

"It's something that... I think it's something that my dad owned..."

Shinichi shook his head.

"Then why are your mother giving it to you first now?" he asked.

Kaito shook a hand in front of him and Shinichi stood up, faster than he expected and turned dizzy, but he ignored it and headed for the door.

He knew perfectly what Kaito had meant by the handshake, he wanted to be alone.

Shinichi closed the door after himself and stopped dead in his tracks when he smelled something delicious.

As if driven by some spell or something, he walked down the hall towards the place he knew the kitchen was.

Just then, an open door came in the way and Shinichi crashed right into it.

He fell as long as he was down on the floor, but he had managed to put his arms under himself so there where no other sounds than a soft thud.

Shinichi got up on his feet and peeked into the room, no furniture, he walked in as his curiosity was beginning to control him.

White, long curtains was half-covering the long windows and the only thing that screamed out that someone was living there, was a huge painting of a white-clothed man, long cloak that he held up, while doves flew around.

Shinichi couldn't do anything but to smile.

That man reminded him off his own father, that four-eyes novelist that loved to joke with him, his mother and all his publishers, for example, flying around in the world and ditch his work.

But this man, whose smile only lingered on a painting told Shinichi enough.

"This must be Kuroba Touichi... Kaito's father..." Shinichi mumbled into the empty room, outside, clouds where gathering and followed by distant thunder, wich hinted to a stormy night.

"It is..." someone replied and Shinichi spun around to face whoever it was.

_-.-.-.-_
