So... Then I'll start to write this chapter... At school... twitch. I hate that dad took my computer... but I got it back 24 hours after he took it even though he said a month! twitch.

ShonaiulaRose: Thank you for the comment. I love your comments. Yes, Kaito and Nakamori-keibu. They will probably show up more in future chapters to. Oh. I didn't use many line breaks in this chapter... NONE!! happy! And thank you for helping me with the correct spelling.

Sennie: I can take critic even if it is hard to see. I'm quite over-sensitive since I got ONLY critic from a couple guys in three years. Whatever I did. And thank you for actually liking chapter 5. I did try doing the chapter at school this time. It worked fine, as I got a grammar-control here too. But I don't know how good the control is...

Disclaimer: Detective Conan and all the characters does not belong to me but Aoyama Gosho-sama, except Tonic or Kirihana Shiro that is one of the main characters and my OC. If I owned Detective Conan Kaitou KID would show up more often.


Chapter 6: Look-Alikes

"The Rainbow Jewel?" Nakamori repeated.

Kaito smiled a bit to himself. So the two detectives have already figured out what his riddle in the note meant. They were always so fast at that, different from Nakamori-keibu. This would probably be a bit fun. He looked around to check that Aoko wasn't there too, because that would be trouble, for him at least. She was really dangerous when she had her mop. Really, really dangerous. But in her place there was another person: Hakuba.

Conan looked at Kaito. Why did he smile? He looked around one more time. Who was KID now, where was he? Was he in disguise, or did he walk around as his true self? He then looked at Heiji and Nakamori-keibu. The latter said he wanted to catch KID himself, but he was always tricked by the Kaitou, and he was always unable to catch him. Different from Conan, who had been close, and as Shinichi he had almost succeeded to catch him.

Heiji looked at Nakamori-keibu, who was probably was deep in thought. He gave a thought to the jewel now he stood with his back against, but he didn't care very much. The most important thing was that KID was put in jail. But why did the Kaitou give back the jewels he stole? He always did that, there were no exceptions. It was as if he was searching for a special jewel he wanted, but didn't have a really good idea what it looked like. He didn't know how close to the truth he was.

Nakamori himself was actually deep in thought. So it was the Rainbow Jewel that KID was after this time? But now that boy from Osaka and that brat would probably try to catch KID too. Kaito was there too he saw now. But not Aoko. He decided to tell Hakuba about KID's target, the detective often comes up with good plans and traps, even if Nakamori wanted to catch the Kaitou himself.

Hakuba saw Kaito too, and saw that Kaito, who was KID, that fact was he sure of, looked at a jewel. He was sure at the teenage magician was KID. He also saw that the hot-headed Hattori Heiji was there, with a kid with glasses. He wanted to know why Kaito, or KID, was stealing. But he had to wait until he catches him. He walked over to Nakamori-keibu, Heiji, the kid, Edogawa Conan he now remembered that his name was, and Kaito.

"What is happening?" the blond detective asked.

"This guy," Nakamori pointed at Heiji, "said that KID's target was the Rainbow Jewel."

"It is true! Heiji-niichan solved the riddle before he came here!" Conan answered.

"So, what are you doing here then, Kuroba-kun?" Hakuba asked.

"I just came here to look around at the museum. It was just a coincident that I happened to look at this jewel", Kaito defended himself when he knew that Hakuba was suspicious.

"Heiji-niichan, Conan!" a voice said and Conan and Heiji turned around.

A couple of meters away from them, Shiro and Ran stood and watched them with dark looks. Conan automatically backed a couple of steps and Heiji swallowed. The girls didn't actually look happy, and they were already carrying a couple of bags with clothes. But it wasn't good for the two boys that they found them at the museum. Kaito remembered that he had disguised as Ran one time, and was at his guard.

"What are you two doing here?" Ran asked. "Is this what you two intended to do, Hattori?"

"Idiots," Shiro only said under her breath. "Two idiots."

"Uhh... We were just looking at the jewel that KID is about to steal", Heiji defended himself.

Ran dropped all her bags at the floor and hit one fist into her other hand and Shiro got an ice cold look that did not fit a seven year old child. The two victims of the girls' anger swallowed and started backing away, afraid that they would be hit by the anger. Why they were angry they didn't know though. But it was better not to ask.

"Then you should have told us," Shiro said chillingly.

"I didn't know what Heiji-niichan was thinking..." Conan defended himself.

"Then you better defend yourself now, Heiji-niichan," the younger-but-not-younger girl answered.

Heiji took some more steps backwards trying to buy some time when he tried to come up with something to say. Then Shiro smiled.

"Ran-neechan, can we buy some more clothes, please? I know one more store we didn't go into as I wanted to look in it," she said and pulled a little on Ran's sweater.

Ran smiled and picked up all her bags from the floor. Heiji sighed in relief, the girl had really saved him this time, but now he owed her one. And that doesn't necessarily will be a good thing. He looked at Conan who was at least as relieved as he was.

"That was scary..." Conan grumbled under his breath.

"You said it," Heiji agreed.

"Why were you so afraid of her?" Kaito asked the other two.

"Ran-neechan is a black belt in Karate, Kaito-niichan!" the kid answered.

Kaito stared. It was all he needed as an explanation to get why they were so afraid of her. It was a really good explanation for it, and on top of that he had almost thought it was Aoko. They looked so alike it was scary. He shivered at the thought of two Aoko's. But speak of the devil... He saw Aoko. He backed away from the jewel and disappeared into the crowd and was on the way out of there as fast he was able to, hoping that he wasn't discovered by the violent girl that should not be able to get a mop. She was really dangerous if she got one.

Aoko was sure that she had seen Kaito over there. But he had disappeared when she arrived to the jewel he was looking at. He had told her that he would stay at home today! If she found him in this museum... Then it wasn't going to be fun for the teenage magician. She would do that definitely, she made that promise to herself. She looked around trying to spot her childhood friend without seeing him. If she just had her mop...

Conan looked at the girl that had arrived beside the jewel when Kaito had successfully tried to blend into the crowd. She was almost Ran's mirror image. Who was she really? Kaito had backed off into the crowd as fast he had spotted her, so he guessed that the girl was someone to fear of. He looked at Heiji, who had probably had seen the look-alike too judging by his expression. It was safest to get a distance after from her. Conan walked a bit away from Aoko before he stopped. Great, both he and Ran got look-alikes.

Hakuba looked around, searching for one special magician. Where had Kaito gone really? He wanted to have the thief in sight all the time before he disappeared from the building in one way or another, but how would he be able to do that when he disappeared like that? He sighed. This was just great, he had lost the teenage magician in the crowd that had passed where they stood. Now that he had merged in, it would be as good as impossible to find him.


So... I will skip the fun this time I think, 'cause I am, as I said, writing at school. Sorry.

ShonaiulaRose beta'ed this chapter to...
