Anxious to avoid a repeat of that day's events, Shinchi had scolded Kaito yesterday for waiting so long. He specifically told him to not bother the next day, what with Shinichi's after school soccer game and everything that was probably going to really stretch on.
The next morning, Kaito did not call. The calm, quiet, air of the neighborhood remained unperturbed as Shinichi got up.
Well, it did, until his neighbor burst in through the roof. After that, he got caught up in three consecutive cases, then was late to school. Given his penchant for bad luck, Shinichi really did wonder why he was so surprised by all this.
He decided to focus on the very useful principals of maths instead; hey, at least it would be on the next test.
Shincihi, unfortunately, could not even begin to predict how unfortunate he really was when he saw his kohai waving to him at the game.
The game was going quite well, 9-0 when it ended.
And then the soccer team's ace, the great high school detective, found himself swarmed by girls. Why did he never see this coming? It happened ever single game, too, yet still he tried to believe that they were finally giving up. They couldn't do this forever, could they?
"Kudo-san, you were just so cool!"
Shinichi just got the sneaking suspicion that they could.
"Sempai, please go out with me! I love you!"
"Kudo-sempai, you're just so wonderful! Please accept my love!"
"Kudo-san!"
"Kudo-sempai, could take a picture with you?"
"Kudo-san! Please come to my party!"
"He's mine! Get away you...!"
It took a good half-hour before he managed to disentangle himself from the mass. Girls were seriously scary sometimes...
...that reminded him, where was that Kuroba, anyway?
He couldn't find his kohai anywhere else that day, and Kuroba Kaito wasn't picking up his phone, either...
Shinichi decided to just leave a voice message and go home. He would talk to his kohai later.
Pale roses shivered in the moonlight, petals quaking.
AN: ...and the storm starts. I think Shinichi would have to be playing soccer indoors at this time of year, but there's always fake grass. Plus, where else would he use his awesome skills, and cause some drama? Sorry for the short nature of this one; today was messy, to say the least.
