Short chapter! I apologise in advance because for some reason I couldn't write this very well. I'm not great at writing anyways.. so yeah. Here you go! It's mostly a filler. I would have added more but I already took this long.
Disclaimer: I do not own Detective Conan/Case Closed
Two days before the heist, Conan went to the sight, having already deciphered the note. There she set up multiple hilarious traps in various places. She felt kinda bad for KID. Also the task force, since they were bound to set them off too. She noted that Kaito had already set his as well. He must have been bored, or just worked early. Well, she added that to her list of information on Kaito.
Kaito himself was currently at the police station receiving generous information on security from the oh-so-generous Nakamori-keibu. Aoko at one point just decided to leave, but it didn't concern him, he was getting all he needed to know about the jewel. He smirked, wondering just what his Chibi-Tantei was doing.
The heist came up and Conan was rather excited. She was no prankster like the thief, but she knew a thing or two about strategies and creating traps. She was positive he'd at least fall for one. And she was so getting it on camera. Thankfully, her glasses had a built in one.
When Conan went home after the thief left as he announced the heist, she found out Haibara had told Ran that she was with her parents on a surprise visit. She shrugged it off, it was believable. Especially since her parents were actually very eccentric. She did get questions about the hair though, mostly compliments. She was happy, she liked it too. It did worry her though, the odd attachment she had to the thief. When she asked Haibara about the giddy feeling she would get around him, the evil woman-child laughed and smirked knowingly. Yet Shinichi shrugged it off, Haibara, was in all strange.
She counted down from three as she saw the blonde detective doing the same thing, and then the lights cut. She smirked, walking silently to the wall so she wouldn't be caught in the mess KID was about to unavailing. She wasn't disappointed when the lights snapped back on and everyone was hanging upside down, their shirts mysteriously missing and the stomachs exposed to show a KID doodle on each and everyone of them, almost like KID was branding them his. At least he had the decency to spare the woman, the mini detective mused.
Everyone glared at the thief whether they were upside down or not as he made his way to the jewel. Shinichi smirked as he stepped on a pressure plate she set up. A strangling sound was heard as the detective tried to dodge all the goo that started to fall from the ceiling and Conan laughed loudly, directing the thief attention to her. She stopped when someone picked her up, cradling her like the small child she appeared to be.
"We may have a phantom thief yet!" KID exclaimed amusingly and everyone gasped. They hadn't expected their little 'KID Killer' to set a trap up like that. Shinichi grimaced at the words. There was no way.
"How rude!" She stated loudly in her best boyish voice so she didn't arouse suspicions. "I'm becoming a detective!"
"Such a waste of a brilliant mind. We could have so much fun! There aren't many people who can think the way we do." KID said in a loud voice and Shinichi knew he wanted to tease her in front of everyone. She wouldn't let it get to her though and she just carried on the conversation. The task force stared in horror at the pair. They may treat the child like an actual child, but they also knew how creatively brilliant he was. Him joining with KID was a scary thought. Especially now that they knew he could also pull very elaborate pranks.
"You're the waste of a brain!" Conan muttered, feeling insulted. KID grinned, happy that he finally riled up the girl. He ruffled her hair and was happy to see that she kept it that way before putting the child down. He still had a jewel to steal and pranks to test after all!
"At least you know I'm smart~" He sang happily, grabbing the jewel and avoiding the cage that dropped down.
"No. I never said that."
"But you technically admitted I was smart when you said I used my brain the wrong way!" He pouted, the jewel disappearing in a puff of smoke. Probably into one of his many pockets, Conan concluded.
"That's my point. You don't use you're brain the right way and that makes you stupid."
"I think you're just trying to cover up your wounded pride."
The task force all looked on at the argument with growing amusement as they were let down from the trap. They didn't dare interrupt though. When KID and Conan noticed they were down, Kaito bowed and Conan just stood, silently observing everything.
"Ladies and Gentleman! I must admit this is but a test run, and I'd love it if you'd put in your all to chasing me. It was boring to get the jewel so easily, but perhaps you could entertain me with a nice game of cat and mouse?" He said, smirking at the frustrated Nakamori-Keibu who just got insulted for his lack of security. Conan sighed as the inspector being barking orders and the chase ensued.
Multiple glitter traps from both Conan and KID activated and the thief's eyes widened when he found himself half covered in green glitter. Shinichi herself was no better off. She was covered head to toe in a purple gooey substance. Thankfully she easily rubbed it off. KID on the other hand couldn't remove the sticky glitter that attached itself to his cape. He sighed, already coming up with a lecture or a certain old professed who let 'children' play with strange and possibly dangerous inventions.
After a couple of floors, the task force was at their wit's end. Why had the heist building been over 200 frigging floors? Not sure.. When did Conan and KID have time to prepare all these traps? Once again, no frigging clue. And it bothered the police to no end. They were all down. Only the child and the thief were still standing, both covered in questionable substances resulted from the traps.
"Ara~ Tantei-Kun," KID started, reminding himself to use 'kun' and not 'chan' since everyone thought the spurious child was a boy. If only they knew. "You're a little prankster aren't you?" A teasing smirk played at his lips when the girl rolled her eyes.
"Wrong. I am merely a strategist."
"If you say so." The skeptical note in the thief's tone was not unheard and not-child let out an annoyed huff. She smiled suddenly, looking around the room fondly. Police members were duct-taped to the ceiling, glued to the floor, or strung up with ribbons. While the thief may annoy her to no end, she couldn't help but feel a strange sense of attachment. The thief eyed the child curiously before smiling himself.
The heist lasted 5 whole hours. Hakuba was stuck on the ceiling for the majority of those long hours, so when the thief left and the small child known as Conan started freeing people, he was greatly relieved. Also a little started. The child was, well, very multicolored when he left to go home.
Hope you liked it! Although it was poorly written.. On a side note- I'm going to start putting links on my profile to show really cute KaiShin related photos! Just Cause'- Please leave a review! I love reviews! They make me so happy and inspired.
