A/N: I don't Detective Conan or Magic Kaitou
Chapter 6: Dark Clouds
Kaito hated it when someone knew his secret. What was worse was he couldn't deny it this time since the Chibi detective found him out. He should've learned he should never underestimate the kid by now.
"Kaito are you ready go to school?" Aoko asked.
"Yeah let me get my bag," He said.
The storm had passed the night before and everyone was allowed to go home but it still bugged Kaito how that woman knew who he was though he had a feeling he met her in the past.
'She reminded me of Sharon Vineyard…' Kaito thought, 'I'll have to ask the kid about that later…'
He grabbed his bag and a small badge fell out of it.
Aoko picked it up and smiled.
"What's this?" Aoko asked.
"Oh that…" Kaito said, "Must belong to those kids who visited the other day…I'll give it back to them."
"Want me to come along?" Aoko asked.
"No thanks you have homework and stuff don't you?" Kaito asked.
"So do you smart guy…" Aoko said.
"I'll get to it afterwards," Kaito replied, "let's go before we're late alright?"
They stopped at a crosswalk and Aoko was talking about a rumor she heard.
"My father seems to think that Kid is someone we know," Aoko said.
"What someone like me?" Kaito asked.
Aoko broke into a laugh and Kaito felt almost annoyed he wasn't suspected a bit.
"No way!" Aoko said, "You aren't Kid…"
"And why am I not suspected?" Kaito asked faking to be hurt by the comment.
"Well Kid is a thief and you couldn't steal a thing in your life," Aoko said, "I mean we're childhood friends and you aren't the type."
"Point taken," Kaito said, "I can see why you'd think that…"
'Wow how wrong she is…' Kaito thought.
"So about the other night…I can't get that girls face out of my mind…I feel so sorry for her," Aoko said, "How do you do it?"
"Well Death is normal in this world…as heartless as that sounds…" Kaito said, "I mean it's not easy for me either but…it's become a common occurrence…"
"Yeah," Aoko said, "I hope her mother will be okay soon…it's hard to lose a family…I mean…uh…"
"Don't worry about it," Kaito said smiling at Aoko, "I don't mind the subject anymore…"
Aoko smiled and the light turned so they began to walk.
They heard a screech of tires and ran over seeing a child on the ground.
'Another one…or was this an accident?' Kaito thought.
He saw a black car drive off in the distance and Aoko dug her face in his chest sad.
He held her there and looked at the distance where the car was now gone.
Meanwhile…
"So Conan did you hear about the dance?" Amy asked.
"I've heard of it…" Conan said.
'She's going to ask me isn't she?' Conan thought.
"Well I don't have a date," Amy said.
"I want to go with you Amy…" Mitch replied.
"I'm asking Conan," Amy said.
"I can't make it…" Conan said, "Rachel is going out of town and someone has to watch Richard…"
"Ah…" Ami said, "Are you coming Ai?"
"No I have to stay home that night…I'm sorry Amy," Ai said.
"It's okay…" Amy said, "I'll go with George and Mitch than…"
They saw the show they were watching turn to a news report.
"This just in there was an accident that has occurred. The victim was a 10 year old child…his name and description are not being released to the public until the family has been told stay tuned to this station for new updates…" The reporter said.
The classroom began making noises.
"A kid our age?" One asked.
"I'm scared…" A girl said.
"My mom told me to be careful…" Another boy said.
'Another attack of a child…' Ai thought.
'There's a chance this was an accident but I doubt it…' Conan thought, 'I should call Kaito and see if he knows…'
The teacher turned off the TV to avoid scaring the kids anymore.
"Can I use the bathroom?" Conan asked to the teacher.
"Go ahead," The teacher said.
Conan bowed and left going to the bathroom.
He made sure he was alone and pulled out the badge.
"Are you there?" He asked talking through it.
Meanwhile
Kaito was in the hall of his school and heard the badge go off.
Aoko looked at him confused when she heard something.
"What was that?" She asked.
"My cell phone," he said, "I better answer it."
"Okay I'll see you at lunch than," Aoko said.
Kaito made it to room which was empty and pulled out the badge.
"Geeze kid you nearly got me found out there," He said speaking into it.
"I'm sorry…" Conan said, "We just heard about that accident on TV…"
"Oh yeah that one…" Kaito said looking around making sure no one heard him, "We saw it…"
"What do you think about it?" Conan asked.
"Well it wasn't an accident," Kaito said, "A black car drove off after it…"
"It's just as I suspected than…" Conan replied, "What are you doing after school?"
"Working," Kaito said, "but after that I'm free."
"In other words stealing another gem…" Conan said.
"Borrowing…" Kaito corrected, "Look I said I can meet you afterwards…"
"Okay I'll get Richard to let me sleep over at Dr. Agasa's and meet at your house," Conan said, "I have to go to class now."
"Have fun learning your ABC's all over again," Kaito said smiling.
"Very funny," Conan said dryly.
Kaito put the badge away and headed to lunch.
Later that night…
Kaito was watching from a rooftop as helicopters circled a building where a jewel was supposed to be.
'If this is it I'll stop part of their plans…' he thought.
He went downstairs and changed into a disguise of an old man.
The same old man was too sick to show up and sent a letter to the people in charge.
A letter that was never delivered thanks to Kaito.
He walked along the party playing the part and saw the same woman as before in a different wig.
"Such a nice night isn't it?" He asked, "When I was younger I never got invited to such fancy parties…"
"Perhaps because you don't stay for them," The woman said, "Always showing up and leaving…"
"What can I say?" He asked, "These parties get old very fast."
"So are you going after this one too?" The woman asked keeping quiet about knowing who he was for some reason.
"No I'm here for the food," He said.
"Miss Vineyard is this man bothering you?" A man asked.
"No he's being friendly," She said, "Don't worry."
"Why haven't you told on me?" He asked.
"Call me a sucker for cute boys," She said.
She walked off and Kaito sighed under his disguise.
He waited till the clock counted down on his watch and the lights all exploded in smoke.
"What?" Nakamori asked, "We checked those!"
While the smoke invaded he ran to the jewel grabbing it and left behind a playing card where it was before.
"Thank you ladies and gentlemen for the lovely party but I'm afraid I must go," he said, "I had fun."
He hit a button and a window broke.
He jumped off flying to a roof and hid from the helicopters.
He aimed the jewel at the moon and found it wasn't the one he needed either.
"This isn't it either…" he said.
"Ah ain't that a shame?" Snake's voice asked.
"Yes it is…" Kaito said, "That I have to see your ugly face again…seriously they have plastic surgery for guys your age too."
"Very funny…" Snake said, "You think you're so funny…let's see how funny you are when your dead!"
"Sorry I don't plan on dying," Kaito said shooting a card at Snake which blew up in smoke in his face and jumped off the roof getting away.
He later ended up leaving the jewel with Nakamori and made it home.
He saw Conan there waiting and waved.
"Right on time," He said.
"What took you so long?" Conan asked.
"Ran into a little trouble," Kaito said, "nothing I couldn't handle."
