Chapter 6: Majo no Kokoro
Shinichi sighed as Aoko and Kaito finally left. He opened his bedroom doors and groaned. It was just like his mother to clean all his clothes out. Now there was nothing but girly clothes. Well at least it was casual and remembered to buy some pants too.
Shinichi removed two books and pushed the wall just like he would when he needed to go to his "lair". He memories the routes to the stairs: straight, left, left, then right… Soon they reached the old–innocent looking stairs.
"Ready?" Hinami asked her host. Shinichi just nodded back. He didn't really like "uniting" with Hinami. Many times it would get him exhausted because she is pushing his body's limits. Reading the not-girl's thought, she scowled, "I told you to work out."
Shinichi rolled his eyes and said in annoyance, "Just do it." As soon as the word was said, there was a chill going down his back then warmth covered him. His vision became blurry, and his legs carried him effortlessly up the booby trapped stairs. In a blink of an eye, he was in front of the door and when he opened it, he was greeted with a black coat-like suit…
~.~.~.~
There was a figure dressed in black...
The person was wearing white gloves, black wig was tucked underneath the black French hat which its shadow covered the person's features, and a white collar shirt was under the long black tuxedo that reached the ankle of that person. There was only two buttons on the chest and stomach area. While the upper part of the jacket was buttoned the rest of the cloth flowed with the wind like a cape.
The person grinned and stood quietly in front of the police station. No one noticed for the figure blended perfectly with darkness. After mysterious figure fixed his deep blue tie, he left; the gem and a note was placed in front of the door step of the police headquarters...
...
Nakamori received the Everlasting Blue back. And of course the note...
'Dear Nakamori-keibu
I'll have you know that I'm not Kaitou Kid. I'm more discreet. And I return the gem to you. It's not the one I' m looking for. Please return it to the rightful owner.
Seems like there is more than one thief you have to go after, keibu-san.
With respect,
Silent Kuro'
"So he is finally back... Ah, I'll take your challenge, Kuro," Nakamori said in fiery determination. "I'll catch you andKid!"
...
"I'm home!" Kaito exclaimed.
"Welcome home!" His mother chimed back. "Why were you so late?"
"I went to visit a friend's house near Ekoda Station," Kaito replied enthusiastically.
But Chikage frowned and asked, "It doesn't happen to be the big one-story house with red bricks and a yards surrounded by black steel fence, does it?"
Kaito stripped down his poker face-for he knew he couldn't hide from his mother anyway-and stared at her in surprise. "You've been there before?"
"Well, one of your father's friends lived there but they would never sell that house..."
"THEY?" Kaito asked, questioningly.
"Oh, you wouldn't remember... But they are pretty famous. Do you know Kudo Yusaku? It was his house."
"Wait, Kudo Yusaku as in Kudo Shinichi's father?" The magician asked with his eyebrows rising.
"Yep, but it's weird... Why would they sell it?"
But Kaito wasn't listening to his mother anymore. He was deep inside his own thought.
Hmm, another connection with Kudo Shinichi...
"Wait, why wouldn't the Kudos want to sell the house?" Kaito asked in curiosity.
"Well..." Chikage giggled and continued, "Their son..." Then she stopped, looking at her son with rather sad eyes. "Let's just say there were many memories within that house."
~.~.~.~
After that, Kaito searched through the stuff of his parents when his mother went out for groceries. He finally found what he was looking for: an old contacts list. He wondered if the Kudo's would have the same phone number as ten years ago but he decided to take his chance.
He pressed the number of the famous actress, Kudo Yukiko, and cleared his throat while the dial continued to ring. That was a good sign... It meant someone was using that number...
"Hello?"A female voice answered.
"Yukiko-chan, it's me, Chikage!" Kaito didn't know what his mother called the actress but he took a guess. After all Lady Luck seems to be always on his side.
"Chi-chan?"Kaito wanted to sigh in relief when there was no doubt in her voice. "It's been so long!"
"Yes, it has. Maybe we should go out for some tea." Kaito replied with a perfect voice imitation of his mother. She wouldn't really mind.
"I'd love to! But how are you, Chi-chan?"
"Just fine... Except that I heard someone was living in your old house in Ekoda. I live near so I should know. That house was so important to you, why did you sell it?"
"No, no! We would never sell it! We just let Shin-chan use it for a while-" Yukiko stopped as she realized her mistake.
Kaito noticed immediately and pressed, "Shinichi-kun? I thought the person living there was a young girl."
"No, not Shinichi!" Yukiko said, giggling. She wasn't the Japan's number one actress for nothing. "Yaksokura Shinari. She's my friend from America!" Kaito thought for a moment, didn't Hinami said she was from America? And the last name is also the same... "Her daughter wanted to come to Japan so I let her live there when she decided which school to go. That girl is always too picky for her own good."
"Ah, soka! Anyway, how's Shinichi-kun? Is he there with you?"
"Ah, no... You know how he is like Yusaku. Always cases, cases, cases! At least Yusaku has gotten better..."
"So he's working on a case? Oh, right, I heard he's pretty famous now... Well, thanks. Come by for a tea sometimes, okay?"
"Sounds good! Oh, Yu-chan's calling me… See you later Chi-chan!"Yukiko replied with a squeal and they hung up.
Yukiko sighed in relief. "That was close! Now I'll have to tell Shin-chan about the names of Hinami's parents... Aww, he's going to have a fit when he ask why there is a name for a non-existent mother of a non-existent teen..."
~.~.~.~
"Haibara?" Shinichi called out the mini-scientist's name. But the house was empty and there was no answer. "Hakase?" Again with no reply. "Is anybody here?" Shinichi hissed in frustration.
"No, there isn't..."Hinami said in a soft voice, although sounding unsure herself.
"Damn it, where-" Shinichi froze as a thought struck him.
"Vermouth,"Shinichi and Hinami said it at the same time.
After a moment, Shinichi spoke again, "So the jewel is called Witch's Heart. Weird name but I can't wait for this Saturday... You?"
"Me neither."
~.~.~.~
"Yes, this is my lucky target!" Kaito exclaimed happily, his conversation with the Night Baroness almost completely forgotten.
"So what is the jewel's name, Bocchama?" Jii who was sitting calmly watching his Young Master jumping up and down excitedly asked casually. It has become a ritual for them lately.
"Well, I don't really like the name but if it is Pandora, I'd love to destroy it! It's called Majo no Kokoro-Witch's Heart. And this Saturday there is no school so it's perfect!"
...
The next day, the Kid's note was sent.
'The darkness is coming
All the ghosts are whispering into her ears
The time is near
She is coming back!
Beware my friends
When the darkness is complete
I'll come and take her with me
Catch me if you can!'
"Uh-oh..." Shinichi frowned at the morning newspaper that held the newest Kid's note.
"Hmm, this is...unexpected?"
"So we are after the same jewel in the same date with Kid? That's some coincidence," Shinichi grumbled. "This couldn't possibly get worse..." Shinichi sighed and sat down on a comfy arm chair in the Kudo Library. He liked the new house but it did not have full collections of his favorite mystery novels.
"Kudo!" A familiar voice called out in a loud voice with a slam of the door.
Shinichi's eyes widened and cursed. 'Hattori?'
"I heard ya 'r back an' I thought I would j'st-" Heiji opened the library door and stopped. And Shinichi froze too and slowly began to face the Osaka teen. "W-who 'r ya?" The other detective asked in an uncertain voice, his eyes suspicious and watchful-a sign that his detective gear was full in action-then something else...
Shinichi groaned inwardly. God, some luck I have...
So Heiji makes an appearance! I hope you can understand what he is saying...D:
Shinichi's up for a trouble... XD OOoooh I really enjoy writing this!
PLESE REVIEW!
