Hey all, here the next chapt. well a little short this time around XD

Midnight Talk 2

"I have been wanting to say this for very long Kudo, you may be the best detective but your body is really stiff." Kaito complained. Kaito had tried to dodge dodgeball during PE and had stumbled. He the KAITOU KID HAD STUMBLED. It was down right embarrassing. Well true enough that Kaito was dodging the balls in a very unconventional way but… that's amount of flexibility ought to be a given right?

"well, I don't recall it being so stiff that it affects anything, Kaito." Shinichi said back.

"Hmph. You don't know. You are being in MY body now. Doesn't it feel loose and relaxed?" Kaito said back.

"well, not especially." Then Kudo recalled how easily he had picked up tricks later on as he went. "ok maybe." He added honestly after a moment's pause.

"See. You need to stretch your body more!" Kaito said as he positively opened his legs in a attempt to split only to find jabbing pain in the muscles.

"You can't even do a split!" kaito complained into the phone.

"OI! OI! Treat it with care!" Kudo replied alarmed, sensing what Kaito's doing over the phone.

"I am." kaito replied. "Also, please please stretch my body too. I don't want my body stiff and cranky when I get it back."

'eh? Stretch? Like how?"

"Well the usual you know, stretching before exercise thing? Maybe add in a few splits and stuff." kaito replied as a matter of factly.

"SPLIT?" Kudo asked, mortified. He had never contemplated in his life doing a split.

"Yeah split. Which part of it do you not understand tantei-kun. You stretch one leg in front and the other behind." Kaito explained in a sing-song voice.

"Ehhhhh…" Kudo replied doubtfully. Is that even humanly possible? Kudo thought to himself. Still he decided to give it a try, after some simple warming up, he tried a split and it worked!

"WOAH!" Kudo exclaimed as he maintained his split. It was almost painless.

Kaito somehow also sensed what Kudo was doing and replied with a smug, "I told you so. Well, you should stretch often and stuff. That body is important in helping you get out of tight spots as Kid." Kaito added with a proud smirk.

"So how's the heist coming along? Don't forget to send your invitation cards." kaito chided.

"yes. Yes. I just found the room."

"Oh the KID room? I knew you would find it." Kaito said proudly.

"Well yeah. At least your father made notes. They are pretty helpful." Kudo said as he looked at one of the set of notes on the table.

"That's how I started too." Kaito said. "I got past the notes thing quickly though. Making notes isn't the type of thing for me."

"I can see why." Kudo added thoughtfully.

"Well, for your information. There is a saying that is passed down from my father and you'll hear it a lot from Jii also. Keep your Poker Face."

"Oh that. You've said it before. Who's Jii anyway?"

"You haven't met him yet? Gosh tantei-kun, I thought with your deductions and stuff you would have reached there already!" Kaito said in shock.

"well some things happened today. A murder case and stuff. I only managed to get to the room and the notes a few hours ago." Kudo defended himself.

"Really tantei-kun, even as me, the cases still follow you around don't they?" Kaito teased.

"Hey don't be so accusatory! I'm not the one causing them." Kudo said back in a half whine. Then turning serious, he added, "Aoko seemed pretty upset by it though."

"Oh Aoko." Kaito repeated and a thoughtful moment of silence ensued.

"I'm sure she'll be fine. She's quite a tough girl really." Kaito added.

"I know. She really likes you huh?" Kudo said back.

"Same goes for Ran. But somehow I'm sensing that she is picking up vibes that I am not really you." Kaito said.

"I think Aoko too. We may need to someday let them into our secret…" Kudo muttered.

"Well when the day comes, the day comes. Nothing we can do about it now." kaito said in a cheerful tone. Then changing the subject he added, "About the heist, keep me in touch kay?"

"I know. Stop reminding me already." Kudo replied back jokingly. "How's your side?"

'Me as you? Well going fine I guess. I'm getting used to the press and the police being around me. But I need to stick my nose to where it doesn't belong soon or I'll seem suspicious." Kaito added in a light tone.

"HEY! Don't call it sticking your nose into where it doesn't belong!" Kudo replied defiantly.

"Just kidding. Just kidding. But I'm still adjusting to having the police loitering around me. It's awfully skin-pricking."

"Well that's just because you've got a past to hide.' Kudo chided back. "Well I still need to keep some brain cells alive for planning out your heist. Well, do your best and take care of Ran ok?"

" got it. Ja." Kaito said as the two of them put down the phone.

Thanks for reading :D well Kudo's on this way planning the heist already but does it mean Kaito is going have a SMOOTH SAILING LIFE FROM NOW ON? I highly doubt so...
