Disclaimer: I own nothing and no one

Isn't it just typical? When I had tons of free time my muses were totally dead,

But now that I am working overtime I have more fic ideas than I have time to write

Never

"Sooner or later Kuroba, Kid is going to make a mistake, and then where will you be?" Hakuba knew, though he was increasingly unsure just how he felt about that. He paused a beat before answering his own question. "Behind bars, that's where."

The magician just rolled his eyes looking faintly annoyed. "How many times do I have to tell you Hakuba?" he sighed. "I am not the Kaitou Kid." Then he grinned. "Though I am flattered you think so highly of my skill. Besides," he waved his hands as he continued. "It will never happen. Do you hear me? N.E.V.E.R."

For a moment it looked like the blonde was going to reach out and shake the younger man. Ultimately though, Saguru just hissed in frustration before turning and stalking away without saying another word. If the other wanted to ruin his life, that was no business of his.

Kaito waited until his classmate was out of sight around the corner before letting his smile fade away. He had meant what he said to the detective. The Kaitou Kid would never end up behind bars. Unlike what Hakuba thought though, the thief did not mean that statement in a positive light.

No one was perfect. Anyone could be caught. The magician was not arrogant enough to believe that he was an exception to that rule despite what he told others. He had a few scars to prove it. But Kaito knew, he knew, there would be no bars in his future. If the taskforce ever caught him, the teen would lay even odds on Snake or one of the other crows putting a bullet between his eyes before the group even reached police headquarters. That of course being preferable to the other scenario; wherein the Black Organization would take out the whole Squad Car along with everyone inside. Either way, he was looking at a tombstone, not a jail cell.

The brunette smiled again, a much grimmer expression than the one he had offered the detective. "I suppose," Kaito whispered, the words so quiet even he could barely hear them. "That just means I will have to be sure not to get caught."

Hope you enjoyed and please review. It makes me happy.

Sadly the fire-breathing kitty passed away after a full and happy life. I will now use the shrink ray on flamers and feed them to Zahra. She's a leopard gecko.
