Kaishin Drabble 10

Prompts: Steven Universe Crossover, Gem Kaito, Gem Shinichi

"Moonstone!"

Kaito froze, desperate panic striking him. No! They couldn't be here, he hasn't even checked the gem yet, they can't take it away now! His hand curled protectively around the world's largest Onyx in his pocket as he turned towards the intruders.

"Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst…and you must be Steven, Rose's son." All the Crystal Gems looked surprised that he said their names. He smiled sadly. Had they really thought he'd gone insane so easily?

Curiously, Steven stepped forward, ignoring Pearl's attempts to call him back. "Uh, how do you know our names?"

He tilted his top hat back and the moonstone where his right eye would have been shined in the florescent light. "Why wouldn't I? We were friends once."

"Until Onyx died," Garnet said and Kaito flinched.

"He's not dead!" He yelled. Glass trembled in their window panes. "Don't you ever say that!" Tears welled in his eyes as he glared at his once friends. "Home world just hid him from me! But I'll find him. I will."

Kaito dropped a nifty human invention called a smoke bomb and ran, skillfully avoiding Amethyst's whip. It took some effort, but Kaito was able to lose the Gems and climbed up to the museum's roof.

The onyx of the night was the size of a baby's head and glimmered in the moonlight. Kaito tapped tightly on it, a hopeful smile on his face. "Shin-chan~ wakey, wakey! The moon is shining and the Earth says hello~!"

So engrossed in trying to wake his Shinichi, Kaito didn't notice the Gems walking up behind him. He rubbed the onyx. "Common, Shinichi. I know you're a heavy sleeper, but this is ridiculous. Shinichi? Onyx?"

"Moonstone, I don't think that's him," Steven said softly.

"It has to be!" Kaito snapped. "It has to be, there's nowhere else to look…" A tear fell from his eye and landed on the jewel. "It has to be….Shinichi…"

Suddenly, a bright light flared, blinding everyone. The onyx in his hand grew burning hot, but Kaito didn't let go as a smile graced his face. Slowly, the faceted form turned into soft hands that gently cupped Kaito's face.

The light faded to reveal a man in all black with dark hair. Blue eyes sparkled joyfully, much like the onyx resting in the hollow in his throat. "Shinichi…" Kaito breathed reverently. "I missed you."

"I missed you too, love."
