FINALY! I finished another chapter! Damn school, I barely have anytime for writing anymore!
Meh, oh well. At least I was able to put this up!
He glared, Conan glared with a vengeance at the mirror before him. Well, not the actual mirror, the reflection of a very smug Kaito standing behind him. Kaito seeing Conan's attempt of a death glare only caused the thief to smile even more.
"Oh come on Tantei-kun, you agreed to this you know! You should be happy it fits!"
*Flash back!*
Conan sat up in his bed, watching Kaito run all around the room collecting various objects from closets, draws and secret compartments. He only stopped momentarily to consider what else he would need.
"Kaito, what are you doing? Its," Conan glanced at the clock. "5:30 in the morning."
Kaito practically skidded to a stop, looking over to see Conan sitting up. "Oh! Sorry Kudo-kun, didn't mean to wake you! I was just collecting something's for an up coming idea I had!"
While Conan had smiled at being called his real name, he then gained a look of confusion. "A plan? What is it?"
Kaito then put his signature smirk on his face, Conan knew he wouldn't like this.
Well Kudo-kun, in order for my idea to even start, you are going to need to agree with it, and after a long time of thinking, it's the only idea I could come up with."
Conan stared at Kaito, willing for him to continue. "Ok, so you know how the Organization wants you dead, but for a different reason other then the obvious." Conan nodded. "We also know that the same Organization, but a different branch, wants me dead, also for the obvious." Nod. "Also, this Gin guy is the one that shrunk you in the first place, and the one we wish to either use to get back to Their base or to capture, who from your description and my observations will work with who ever is chasing me to get to you right?"
Conan was about to nod when he paused, a look of confusion and thinking. "But how do they know that to get to me they have to get you? Even thou you are the first one to come to mind with how you saved me, smoke bombs and all, I don't think they will go on that assumption alone to attack you head on. They would most likely send out a scout to your future heists for any trace of me. But as far as I can tell, me coming would just be a waste of ti-."
Conan's eyes widened as he started to understand what Kaito was talking about. He lifted his hands, leaned back and shook his head so hard he could've given himself whiplash! "NO WAY KAITO! I am so not going to-how could you even think I would agree to-that is just plain insanity if you think I would even consider-."
After a few more minutes of Conan's random babbling, which Kaito thought could have been disagreeing, Conan was finally starting to calm down and think logically. Conan sat there hand on his chin and staring at the bed sheets, in his usual thinking pose.
Kaito watched in amusement as many emotions flashed across Conan's face. Anger, annoyance, confusion, frustration, bewilderment, and after awhile and many more faces, Kaito was glad to see the one he was hoping for.
Conan looked up at Kaito with acceptance and annoyance on his face. The nod Conan gave him was all he needed, a puff of pink smoke sounded around Conan making him flinch and yelp slightly at the sudden sound and smoke. Once the smoke cleared before Conan stood a very smug Kaito and Conan did not like a smug Kaito, that always led to trouble.
Well Kudo-kun, don't you want to see what you look like?" Kaito said as he gestured over to the wall of mirrors. Conan slowly got off the bed and grabbed a crutch, hobbling over to the mirror and staring into it. His 'Detective Sense' was screaming at him, and it showed visibly on Conan's face.
*End flashback*
"I didn't even agree to it! All I did was nod, accepting the possibility of it working! I wanted to work out details and plan some strategies before we even thought of-!" "I know that Kudo-kun. I was just seeing if it fit!"
Conan stopped his rant to look at himself a little closer, Kaito was right. The waist was a little snug and the arms a little too long. The collar seemed slightly over sized too.
"Alright, I can see your reasoning behind me wearing this, but you couldn't have just asked me to put it on? Was the smoke bomb really necessary?" Conan asked as he turned to look at a Kaito instead of his reflection.
"Oh it most certainly was! You would have denied it right away and made us waste time. I do have school you know." Kaito ended his explanation with a shrug followed by looking at his watch.
"Geez is that the time already! Sorry Kudo-kun, but I have to run! If you need anything, just go down to the kitchen, there's some food in the fridge and you can watch T.V. The paper is also sitting on the table, oh and here." Kaito handed Conan a mug full of coffee, black of course.
"Thanks Kaito but…" Conan looked away in slight embarrassment at to what he wanted to ask. Kaito understood this and carefully picked up Conan and his crutch. He quickly made his way down stairs and placed Conan on the sofa.
"You could have told me you were going to do that!" "But it is what you wanted to ask right?" Conan looked down at his coffee in defeat, Kaito had won this round.
-Time skip! We are now at Ekoda High School!-
Kaito looked at the newspaper in his hand, news of the recent possible kid-napping of one Conan Edogawa plastered all over the front page. But the worst part about it is the only reason it's even on the front page is because he went 'missing' the night of his heist! No other possible kid-nappings, or confirmed kid-nappings, were ever on the front page, unless someone died. The media was even saying Kaitou KID has something to do with it! That was just outrageous!
Aoko came up behind Kaito after seeing him glaring at the newspaper infront of him. Aoko read the headlines over Kaito's shoulder, wanting to know why her childhood friend was so upset. At first she couldn't see why he was so mad, all she saw was news of Kaito KID's successful heist. It was only once she read the article next to it did she see why Kaito was so mad. His idol was being blamed for the kid-napping of 'KID's arch rival' Conan Edogawa.
Aoko looked at her best friend in worry. "Kaito?" Aoko said softly as not to startle the prankster.
Kaito tensed slightly and turned around to face Aoko, his pokerface set in place. "Hmm? Oh! Hey Aoko! What's up?"
Aoko got a little annoyed with his happy attitude when something was obviously bothering him. "BaKaito, I saw that look on your face, what's wrong? Come on you can tell me!"
Kaito flipped her skirt up and quickly ran to the other side of the room. "Ahoko! There's nothing wrong!" Kaito snickered. "The blue panties sure are new, did you want to impress me?"
Aoko blushed, pulled out a mop and starting chasing Kaito all around room, as usual. While everyone was trying to dodge Aoko's wide ranged attacks to Kaito, Hakuba was standing in door way watch Kaito carefully. He also saw the look on Kaito's face, and it takes a something pretty big to upset him enough to not remember his pokerface.
-Time skip again. Now its lunch time!-
Kaito sat on the roof of his school, legs hanging over the edge. Looking out at nothing and listening to the sounds of Edoka. But he still couldn't enjoy the view at all. The thoughts of what the paper said still plaguing his mind with uncertainty.
"Damn it!" Kaito yelled as he punched the roof, of course regretting it after as his hand stung.
Hakuba was in shock, he just Kaito loose his cool. And in a violent way as well! Something had to be bothering him if it made him show violence in anyway. Hakuba went back down to the class room, walking over to Kaito's desk and picking up the newspaper he was reading before class started.
As Hakuba predicted, the usual headlines of KID's heist was plastered over the front page. What Hakuba didn't predict, was the article directly below it, one that accused KID of kid-napping his mini arch-rival Conan Edogawa.
Hakuba could see why he would be upset, but not violent. There was something here that Hakuba was missing, and he was going to find out what it is!
-Again with time skips! It's now right as school ends!-
Hakuba knew that if anyone he knew saw him at that moment, they would have thought he was following a criminal. But because it was right after school, everyone knew it was Hakuba's unhealthy obsession with Kaito being the Kaitou KID, again. Some watched in silence, others just walked by, already used to the odd behavior.
Hakuba followed Kaito all around Edoka, being lead to various types of stores. Most of them book stores. He knew Kaito's love of Lupin and the such, but what struck him as odd was that he was buying Sherlock Holmes, and a large assortment of them.
He followed Kaito to his house, watching as Kaito seemed to be taking in his surroundings and observing everything he could see without moving his head. This seemed to put fuel-to-the-fire for his theory about Kaitou KID. But Hakuba ignored that thought and focused at the task at hand. Once Kaito closed the door to his house, Hakuba dashed out from around a corner to under his kitchen window, seeing as how Kaito went to a grocery store, he would naturally go to his kitchen to put things away.
"Kaito, what took you so long to get back?"
Hakuba was a little surprised to hear that someone else was in Kaito's house, but what really annoyed Hakuba was that he thought he has heard this voice before. He mentally shook his head, he would worry about that later!
"Aw! Were you worried about me? That's so nice of you, Ku-" "Baro! Why would I worry about a dumb thief?"
Hakuba thought his ears were playing tricks on him, thief? Did the unknown voice call Kaito a thief? And what was the name Kaito was going to say? And who is 'Them'? So many questions were going thru Hakuba's head he almost missed the next part of the conversation.
"Ill take that as a complement! After I put these away, how about we go upstairs and try to work out some of the details of our little plan, hmm?"
"Fine, but you still didn't answer my question of why it took you so long."
Hakuba heard the rustling of bags, most likely Kaito holding them up a little, as to prove his point.
"I know it wouldn't have taken you that long to go and do some shopping, what else is there?"
Hakuba swore he could hear the smirk in Kaito's voice. "You remember Hakuba don't you?"
He had met the owner to the voice somewhere before?
"The high school detective who's obsessed with his watch? Yes, I remember him, why?"
He was not obsessed with his watch! He just liked knowing the exact time when ever something happens
"Oh nothing big, he was just being nosey and tried to follow me to where ever I was going, probably trying to figure out why I was acting so different today."
"You were acting 'different' today? HA! So even the master of disguises can make mistakes, huh?"
"Don't be like that! I was able to shake him off by WEARING a disguise! I got skills."
That is true, Kaito did loose him once. He was only able to find him again by heading in the direction of his house. It was pure luck he didn't get caught.
"Right, well do you think he will be an issue then? You know that the less people who know, the better."
Know? Know what? What did Kaito get himself into this time!
"I know, I know. But Hakuba's pretty sharp, if he ever discovers our problem, or gets mixed up in it, I'll only tell him then. Now, shall we go?"
Hakuba cursed his luck, he wouldn't be able to listen to their conversations while they're upstairs!
Hakuba moved from his spot under the window and started heading to his house. If Kaito is involved in something that he doesn't want anyone to know about, besides Kaitou KID, then it must be as big, or even bigger then that. Hakuba was going to get down to the bottom of this, on way or another.
TADAH! Finished! It's getting WAY to hard to find time to write! Im doomed! *sigh* Oh well, time for homework. R&R
