I don't own detective Conan, but I sure wish I did.

I woke up that morning with a strange calmness that I had never felt before, it was so warm and make me feel almost safe. I stayed in bed for a while longer before finally getting out of bed, it was a school day after all. So I get dressed, go down-stairs and start to make some coffee. Nothing wakes me up quite like coffee. When my coffee is finished I put it in a travel mug, grab my bag and head to school. It takes me a while to get to school due to having to catch a bus.

When I get to school I see Hakuba-kun standing in front of the school gates, he looked lost in thought did he have a hard case. Sometimes we would help each other with cases by giving our own thoughts and ideas on the problem. So I walked up to him and tap him on the shoulder. He quickly snaps out of his thoughts and looks at me.

"Ah Shinichi-kun, sorry I didn't see you there. I wanted to talk to you about a case if you would be so inclined."

"Sure, let's get inside and then we can talk about it, ok."

So we went inside to our classroom and sat at our desks and Hakuba-kun started to grab folders from his bag.

"Yesterday a note was delivered to HQ from a thief that hasn't been heard from for the last ten years. No one knows why he suddenly came back but he did and Inspector Nakamori is furious. Almost destroyed important evidence."

"Why are you coming to me about it?"

"Well his calling card all say what he's going to steal and when but they're all written in riddles. No one can figure it out and I thought that you might be able to."

"So you want me to solve the riddle?" I asked, Hakuba-kun nodding his head as he handed me the small white card.

"This is the calling card."

"Wait so he tells the police what and where his next heist will be?" I must say I'm a bit surprised this must be a very confident thief to even think of doing that. I look at the calling card, it's very simplistic a small white piece of paper with some very neat writing on it. At the end of it is a small drawing of a face with a large toothy grin and a top-hat. Next to it was the name, Kaitou KID.

KID, why does this sound so familiar, I rack my brain trying to figure it out when suddenly it hits me, my father use to 'fight' a thief with the same name, or was it that his dad had miss interoperated the name 1412 and ended up calling him KID.

"So you want me to decode it?" I asked Hakuba-kun looking at him with complete seriousness.

"Yes, I just gave you a photo-copied version of the card so you can even write on it if you want."

"Thank you Hakuba-kun, if I figure it out I'll tell you."

I look at the riddle on the card it reads:

As the leaf is dancing with the wind, when the wind comes,

I shall steal the precious gem as fast as the wind can carry me.

Carry me to the empty starry sky. ~ Kaitou KID

When school finished I grabbed all my things and quickly left for home, hoping not to run into a murder or kidnapping or theft or the B.O. I made it home without to many troubles and quickly went to the library, I went to the phone and dialled my parent's number into it. I looked at the phone for a bit, did I really want to call them. After some internal debating I decided to just call them, I did have a LOT of questions to ask them.

So I hit enter and waited, listening to the phone buzzing noise as it waited for the other end to respond. Quickly the noise stopped and I pulled the phone away from my ear as my mother screamed into the phone. I waited a bit and when I didn't hear anything I started talking.

"Hi mum."

"Shin-chan what's the occasion, you normally never call."

"Well I had a few questions and wanted to know if you could help me."

"Well of course, fire away."

"Where did my name come from?"

"Your name, well your father suggested it and I just thought it was the cutest name so I agreed."

"Ok… Next question do you or dad know anyone by the name of Kaito Kuroba."

"Kuroba, Kuroba… Ah yes I do know of someone with the name Kuroba, his name was Kuroba Toichi and was a world class magician, he would travel all over the world for different shows. He died about ten years ago in an accident, tragic really. He told us that he had a wife and son that lived in a different country, though I can't remember which. I believe the son's name was Kaito."

"How do you even know this man?"

"Well he was my teacher back in my acting days, he taught me all about prosthetics. He was a lovely man."

"OK, can you put dad on the phone I need to ask him a few questions?"

"OK shin-chan." after some rustling the phone made its way over into the hands of Yusaku Kudo.

"So you had some questions to ask me?"

"Yeah I was wondering about something's, did you go against Kaitou KID?"

"Yes I did go against KID and I'm guessing that he's made his return."
"Huh, um yeah he did, also do you know anything about this 'family secret'?"

"That is something I cannot say."

"Wha… fine, one last question."

"Yes"

"Where did you get my name from, mum said that you suggested it so I want to know where the idea came from."

"I got that name a man I respected, Kuroba Toichi."

So here's a new chapter, I'm sorry this is late but so much stuff was happening that I didn't have enough time to write.

I will try to finish the whole story and not leave it discontinued, but I might have some problems in the next few months.

I'm getting a new computer so it might take me sometime to get out new chapters.

That out of the way thank you guys so much for all of your amazing support.

Also Toichi isn't actually alive in this story and it was just Kaito pretending to be Toichi, the black org tried to kill him but because he's immortal he can't die so it didn't work. Kaito was wearing a fake face when he would go out so he would look like his father, he also said that he had a wife and son in a different country in case he came as Kaito, which he ended up doing. Basically he was tieing up lose ends.
