The first stop however was not to the grocery store. Kaito instead made his way to the Mori detective agency.

When he got there it was starting to get a little dark. The thief made his way to the top of the neighbouring building. There he was able to see through the front windows of the agency. He took a pair of binoculars out from his coat pocket and looked inside. There was no sign of the annoying Mori Konnor. That was a good sign. He did see one person in there.

'Surprising.' Kaito thought. 'I thought that she would be out looking for the brat. I wonder what she's doing back here.'

After an hour of waiting, Kaito deemed that it was safe. Quick as a flash Kaito changed into a pair of black pants and a dark tee. He brought a hat out to cover his features. He climbed down the fire escape and walked across the street. He rang the door bell and patiently waited there was a small click and the door opened a crack.

"Hello?" A quiet voice asked.

"This is for you." Kaito stated in a very low voice. He handed her the envelope and turned walking away.

"Wait!" Ran called. Kaito paused and turned to look at her. "KID what are you doing here? Where's Conan?"

Kaito gave a sly , knowing grin. "I'm afraid Conan is unavailable at the moment." Ran looked at him unconvinced. "Don't worry. I give you my word that Conan is safe."

"That isn't much of an assurance." She said crossing her arms and leaning against the door jam.

"Well that's all I can give." He said. Pointing the envelope towards her. Ran turned it a few times, before opening it and looking at the photo. At first she stared at the photo confusion. Then she started to giggle.

"What are you doing here anyway?" Kaito asked curiously. "I thought you would be out looking for him."

"I'm here waiting for Conan's mother. She's arriving soon and coming here." She stated in a matter of fact manner.

'Conan has a mother?' Kaito mused to himself. 'How does that work?'

"How did you convince him to wear those ridiculous ears?" She asked, giggling a little.

Kaito just shrugged "I have my ways." He tipped his hat towards Ran. "I need to be going." With that he dropped a smoke ball and disappeared.

Latter (much latter) Kaito arrived back at his home. He kicked off his shoes, and looked up. Sitting up on the back of the sofa, was Conan. The kitten was giving him a very impressive accusing stare.

"What?" Kaito asked. The kitten just kept staring at him. "The line ups at the grocery store were terrible." Conan rolled his eyes disapproving and dropped to the floor. He followed Kaito to the kitchen where the thief put away groceries.

"Since you will be stuck as a cat for dinner, I bought this." Kaito lowered a tin of wet cat food so Conan could read the label. The kitten looked shook his head no and stepped back a little.

"Oh come on." Kaito whined. "I can't let you eat people food as a cat. You could get sick." He opened the can and set it on the floor. Conan wrinkled his nose. He looked up at Kaito with a pout. Kaito ignored and turned to make his own dinner.

Conan gave a curious sniff to the tin. It didn't smell too bad. He gave a little taste. It wasn't great, but it wasn't as bad as he thought it would be. He ate dinner along with Kaito. After dinner the boys settled on the couch. Kaito tried to pet Conan. The kitten wasn't having any of it. Every time Kaito's hands came near Conan would swat his hand away.

"By the way, I saw your girlfriend tonight. We had a nice chat." The kitten looked at him with wide eyes. "She really liked the photo I gave her."

"Hiss" The kitten spat.

"Hey relax. I just gave her the note." Kaito said defensively. Kaito checked his watch. "It's getting really late. Want to head to bed?" The kitten nodded and jumped to the floor.

"I see your getting more used to your new body." Kaito mused as Conan bounded up the stairs.

"Mrow." Conan mused at the top of the steps. He waited by his bedroom door until Kaito opened it. The kitten jumped up onto the bed as Kaito put the box of clothing onto the floor.

"Need anything before I turn in?" Kaito asked. The kitten shook his head no before curling into a ball and closing his eyes. Kaito left and turned the lights out. "Night Tentei Kun."

"Meow." Conan replied.

The next morning, Kaito woke up and walked into the kitchen. He was met with a human/kitten Conan. He was on a chair attempting to grab some cereal.

Kaito scratched the back of his head.

"Morning Neko Kun."

"Don't call me that." Conan huffed grabbing his food and sitting at the table.

"What are your plans today?" The detective asked while stuffing his face.

"Not sure." Kaito answered as he got his own breakfast. "Is there anything you want to do?" Conan rolled his eyes.

"It's not like I can leave the house." He replied dryly. Conan didn't like the twinkle in the Thief's eye.

"Anyway I really don't want to go anywhere. In case of." He trailed off.

Kaito gave him a friendly smile. "Alright, then let's do something to take your mind off your condition." The teen got up and cleaned up the breakfast dishes. Conan walked into the living room and turned on the television.

The news actually didn't have anything. Mostly just the usual Sunday fill. Kaito stepped into the living room to see Conan staring bored at the screen. He could tell that Conan's was miserable.

"Conan, buddy. You need to keep yourself busy or you're going to drive yourself crazy."

Conan slowly looked over to Kaito. "Like what?"

"Umm." Kaito replied. "There is actually something I want to try." He sat on the floor, crossing his legs. "Maybe there is some way to turn into a kitten at will." Conan muted the tv. He slid off of the couch and sat across from the other boy.

"If there is a way to stop it, I'm all ears. Where do we start?"

After a couple of hours the two had made no progress. Conan laid back on the floor.

"Kaito enough. None of this is working." He moaned.

"Come on there's got to be something triggering it." He stated while standing up and stretching.

"I don't think so. I cant see any connection between the times I've changed." Conan sat up and stretched. "How about some tv?" He asked.

Kaito nodded. "Ok, and lunch?"

"Sounds good." Conan replied. The two mostly watched tv and small talked late into the afternoon when a loud knock came to the door.
