A/N: *falls down on her knees* gomenesai...*bowing a thousand times – actually banging her head against the floor in shame.* Gomen! Gomen! Gomen! Gomen! GOMEN!
I was reaaaaaaaaaally depressed with this story. I didn't like it anymore, especially the latest chapters, since they went too fast, had too many mistakes, too little detail and were just bad. After that school dropped by once again and plot bunnies attacked my head – creating for instance the rewritten 1412. So I absolutely gave up on this story. Also, the whole plot was totally ruined since I kept adding things making other things useless or weird. So I made this explanation chapter. To get things in order for me and for you. Next chapter will have some more explanations, still don't hesitate to ask something you don't get. I'll answer or I'll say it's in the next chapter – I promise that one won't take as long as this time. So, I shall not bother you any longer!
Enjoy!
~~xXx~~
Kaito woke up with a really good feeling. His pillow was soft, warm and moved up and down in a steady rhythm as if he was lying on someone's chest. The blanket was rapped around him and two bulges, feeling more like two arms, held him tightly on his pillow. He moved a bit, noticing he wasn't wearing anything. That's strange, he never slept naked. Most of the time he wore at least his pyjama pants. Oh well, he was in bed so it didn't matter.
Suddenly his pillow shifted. His pillow? Still half a sleep he lifted his head and stared at the skin-coloured thing his head had laid upon. After blinking a few times he finally saw said thing was indeed a chest as he had first thought. A naked chest. His indigo eyes trailed up to strong shoulders, a neck, higher and higher until they reached a face so much like his own. Shinichi...
Shrieking Kaito jumped back, forgetting exactly where he was and fell with a loud thud on the ground. He groaned while rubbing his head. "You okay?" a voice asked, making him look up. Shinichi leaned with his chin on his folded arms and stared down at him.
"Wh-..How-..Shin-...What's going on?" Shaking his head he tried to calm down and recollect his thoughts. What had happened? How did Shinichi get in his bed? And why the hell were they both naked?! Last night...what did he do? He remembered...he had a heist. And Snake had come, but he escaped in time. Snake had been very aggressive that time though, causing him to have quite some bruises and now that he remembered a bullet had scratched his shoulder. He looked down, there was one huge almost yellow bruise on his stomach – he remembered that was the place Snake had hit him with his knee –, but for the rest only small ones on his legs and arms. One of his hands went to his right shoulder, but to his surprise he felt nothing! No blood, no cut, no bandages or anything that could hide the wound the bullet had caused, nothing. His skin was smooth as it had always had been. He felt on his left shoulder, thinking he may have had the wrong one, but there as well was nothing. Had he imagined it then?
"Don't you remember last night?" Shinichi asked. What else? What had he done after the heist? He knew there was some place he had had to go, but what was it again and why? He kept thinking, but nothing came to mind. No wait, a roof top...and Hoodie-san! Then his room...the blood, pain and pleasure! It all came back! Shinichi was Hoodie-san and he had...they had... A blush spread on Kaito's face. No wonder they were naked...He looked at the bed, but the one who had been lying in it a few moments ago was gone. He turned around and saw him leaning against the wall on the other side. Apperantly when he was still trying to sort out the whole situation Shinichi had gone out of bed and put on his clothing. Azure eyes watched him bemusedly, one eyebrow raised. "Do you need help dressing?" Kaito quickely shot up and put on a pair of boxers and trousers which he had found lying on the floor. He glared at the other, still a faint blush on his cheeks.
"Explain. Now." He demanded. The smile faltered and made space for a frown.
"I think it's best if we talk this over somewhere more private. If you want answers come to my house." Shinichi said and made his way towards the window.
"What? Why not here? I think my house is as private as yours." The detective put a foot on the windowsill.
"I don't want your mother to overhear us and get involved." He said giving the magician a last glance.
"Involved in what?" Kaito's question went unheard. The other was already gone out of the window. "Damn it. Give me answers already Shinichi." Tears prickled in his eyes. "Stop toying with my feelings..." Shaking his head, he got dressed. Ever since his father died he had never cried. He had promised to be strong for his mother. So he wasn't going to cry now. While snatching some fruit from the table he ran out of the house and towards the Kudo mansion. He wanted some answer already!
~~xXx~~
The door opened before he could even knock. Though the one who opened it wasn't the one he thought would. "Uhm...Hi, my name is Kuroba Kaito. Is Shinichi here?" Kaito introduced himself as he watched the dark-skinned detective, Hattori Heiji, step aside to let him in.
"He's waiting inside the library." Hattori said and made a gesture with his hand to show the other he could come in. Once fully inside and with the door closed the detective studied him from top to bottom. Kaito endured the calculating look for a minute before he coughed, politely letting the other know he wasn't comfortable. Hattori looked up at his cough and snorted when he turned around, walking further inside the mansion. "Shinichi, you narcissist." He muttered.
"What?" Kaito asked. Alright he knew he and the detective looked alike, but come on! There were definitely differences between them! I mean, Kaito had of course his unruly hair and indigo eyes, while Shinichi had neat hair and azure eyes. He also had that calm and cool air around him, while the magician's was mischievous and relaxed. So that's no reason to say either of them is a narcisist! Kaito resisted the urge to pout.
"Nothing, the library is over there." Hattori growled in a low voice which Kaito wasn't used to. He had seen the Detective of the West on a heist or two and knew him as quite a cheerful person. Well, no use thinking about it now. First Shinichi, then OoC detectives. He watched as Hattori disappeared in the kitchen, then went inside the library. Looking around a bit, he spotted the Heisei Holmes sitting in an armchair in the middle of the room reading his beloved book, a study in scarlet. His eyes flew up when Kaito took a step towards him.
"Ah, sorry. I hadn't noticed you came in." Shinichi said with a gentle smile. He closed his book and put it on the table, then met the magician's eyes again. The tension in the air was almost unbearable. Both teens felt uncomfortable and nervous. Shinichi was the first to break the silence. "Well, ask away." Kaito frowned. Where should he begin? There were so much things he wanted to ask.
"Why did you break-" He cut himself off. Had they actually been together? Sure they kissed, went out and stuff, not to mention that one time in bed, but neither of them had asked the other to date. So was it right to say they broke up?
"-break up?" Shinichi finished his sentence, as if guessing his thoughts. With a chuckle he continued, "That's like asking for the whole story. Let's do this differently, what do you think?"
Kaito stayed silent. He absolutely had no idea, never really thought about the reason why Shinichi broke up. Everything had been going pretty well, until Ran-chan came that night. "It's something that made you push Ran-chan away." Shinichi nodded, silently encouraging him to continue. "So, that means it could hurt the ones you love. Don't tell me you're involved with another organization like the BO?"
The detective sighed. "It's kinda complicated. The BO I fought was only part of a large criminal organization, like a branch. Their code names were alcoholic drinks. Right now I'm having trouble with another branch of the BO. Their code names are animals."
Kaito's eyes widened. "Snake." He whispered. A nod was his only reply. "Shinichi, you have to be careful. I've fought Snake for quite a while! He isn't that smart, but there are others out there who are way more vicious than him! I don-" He stopped when he heard Hattori open the door to the library. The teen had a tray in his hands with three cups of tea.
"Don't mind me. I already know about everything, KID." He said. Kaito's eyes flew at Shinichi, who nodded in response.
"Sorry, I kinda couldn't keep my mouth shut after I broke up with you." The Heisei Holmes said. "But Hattori won't tell anyone, so don't worry." He reassured him quickely.
Hattori sighed. "Just because Kudo asked me to. Anyway, sit down. That's easier to talk." Kaito complied and sat on the couch opposite to Shinichi's armchair, still a bit shocked, while Hattori sat down in the armchair perpendicular to them. It's not like he didn't trust the detective of the west, but no one could really blame him for being anxious about it. His eyes glanced over at Shinichi. He said that he couldn't keep him mouth shut after the break up. So that means he was really sad about doing that if he told Hattori about KID. Now that he thought about it. How much had he told? Kaito hadn't been exactly clear about the whole reason for KID, so what did Shinichi tell Hattori?
"Well, let's continue." Shinichi said. "Snake. How much do you know about him?"
"He's a criminal working for the organization and looking for Pandora." Kaito frowned when he saw the Heisei Holmes narrow his eyes for just a second, muttering a word that Kaito couldn't hear, before shaking his head.
"You don't know anything about the recent events?"
"What events?" Kaito asked. The detective looked at him, sighed a bit and looked away, as if contemplating what to tell the magician and how. Suddenly he stood up and walked towards the desk standing a bit to the side of the room. He opened one of the drawers and took a news paper out. Walking back, he threw the piece of paper on the coffee table between their seats. Kaito took it and read the front paper. It was about the facility exploding during the take down of the BO. The facility belonged to the BO's headquarters. No one really knew what kind of experiments had been done there since after the explosion the whole building had collapsed and all indications to anything that had been in there were gone. The bodies of the researchers and some FBI agents, who had been in the explosion couldn't be found anywhere. What exactly had caused the explosion, no one knew. "It's the take down, but what does that have to do with Snake?" Kaito asked.
"That facility belonged to Snake's branch. Some of the researchers escaped before the explosion as well as most of the assassins in the branch, including Snake himself."
"Alright, but what does that have to do with you? Isn't good that that facility was destroyed? I mean, no one really knows what they were doing there, so it's best for it to be gone, right?" Kaito said. Shinichi nodded.
"That's what we first thought as well. Until Snake and the others...got stronger." Kaito tensed. He had noticed that lately. Snake was more direct and actually closer to killing him during the heists. "Also...strange things happened to some of the people who had been around the explosion." Kaito frowned again – he'd been doing that a lot lately – why couldn't they just get to the point?
"What kind of things?" He asked almost frustrated. Shinichi opened his mouth, but Hattori beat him to it.
"These kind of things." He said and put his hand in the air. Kaito watched for a minute and was about to give an irritated reply when his eyes caught the small changes. The detective's nails grew longer until they represented something more like claws. Hair grew all over the limb. Kaito stared at the hand. In just a few seconds that hand had transformed into the claw of a beast.
"What the.." Was the only thing that came out of his mouth.
"All those 'strange things' were different for everyone and didn't appear until they had contact with a specific type of animal. Hattori for instance was bitten by a wolf during a case in the zoo." Shinichi explained.
Finally tearing his gaze away from the claw, Kaito looked at him. "So that means..." He looked back at Hattori, though this time in the eyes. "You're what? A werewolf?"
"Kudo and I have been working on this ever since the first symptoms appeared." Hattori began, ignoring the magician's question for the moment. "We didn't really know what was going on, so we tried to find the only person who could tell us more." He stopped. "The only person we knew at the time that is."
"Who?" Kaito asked. The little scientist? She might've known, after all, she had been one of them.
"It was just a coincidence that we met him though. After one of your heists Snake showed up. When we started asking questions about the explosion he told us that everyone who had been within five hundred meters of that explosion was...infected, as he called it. He himself didn't know with what, but he did know what effect it had. When an infected person came into contact with a specific animal they would gain the ability to become that animal, gain all the powers it possesses and their instinct. The type of animal differs from person to person and before the bonding – as we call it when one comes into contact with their animal type – the person feels a strong connection with his animal type, so it's easy to know what kind of animal they'll be should they bond."
"So yes, you could say that I am a werewolf, but we prefer the term Shapeshifters." Hattori said. Kaito nodded.
"So...you're a werewolf" He said and pointed at the dark-skinned detective. Ignoring his annoyed mutter 'wolf shifter', looked at Shinichi. "Then what are you?"
The Heisei Holmes smiled bemusedly. "After last night I thought you would figure it out." Kaito shuddered at the rememberance of yesterday. The fangs breaking his skin and the pain that came with it.
"You're a...a vampire."
The azure eyed detective took his cup of tea. "To be honest...I'm not sure. Hattori keeps saying I am, but I don't believe it. I've never had any interaction with a vampire, besides they don't even exist."
Hattori pouted. "I told you! Maybe a bat bit you! It won't surprise me if there are a few of them in this creepy mansion." He muttered the last part, still Shinichi seemed to hear it clearly as he glared daggers at the detective-turned-werewolf.
"So, what about wooden stakes?" Kaito asked.
The detective of the east looked back at him. "Hurt like it does with any other human."
"Crosses?"
"Nothing wrong."
"Garlic?"
"No effect either."
"Mirrors!?"
"I can see myself clearly every morning in the bathroom."
The magician pouted. "That doesn't really sound vampire-like. What about wounds? Are immortal?"
Shinichi took a sip of his tea, frowning as he noticed how cold it was. "I heal quick, especially if I drink blood. Immortality? I don't know and I'm not planning to try either."
Kaito looked down. "So...how do you do it with blood? I mean, do you attack pretty girls in dark alleys all of a sudden, making them unable to scream from shock?"
Shinichi put his cup down. "You've been watching too many horror movies. I'm still a detective you know. I don't kill people, nor do I steal their blood." He said as he stood up and walked out of the library, leaving Kaito alone with Hattori.
"It was about a month after the take down and one after we talked to Snake, who after our conversation had gotten away." Hattori said, looking at the door Shinichi had just gone through.
The noise of the people on the street were faint but it didn't matter. The only thing he could hear was his blood rushing through his body, his hitching breath and the sound of his heartbeat. He didn't feel anything either. Not the cold of the dark alley nor the sharp bricks of the building which where now poking in his back.
He had probably missed the soft hand on his shoulder if it hadn't felt like it burned right through his clothing and on his skin. "Are you okay?" a woman's voice asked. He looked up through half-lidded eyes. His vision was blurry, but he could see the worry in the young woman's face. Her hair was scarlet red and she didn't appear to be japanese. A foreigner? Now that he thought about it, she did have a little accent.
The longer he stared at her the more his thoughts were put in the back of his mind, only to be replaced by her hair. The color it had. Red. Like something else. What was it? Why did he want that other red thing so badly?
He didn't notice that he had grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer. He leaned with his head on her shoulder, noticing the way the woman stiffened at the touch. "H-hey? What are you-..are you really okay?" She asked shakily, while a shudder went through her body. "You're ice cold."
It was true, he felt like a corpse. No, even colder than that. So cold that it felt like everything that touched him burned right through his skin. Still, he kept the woman against his body. The fear that seemed to radiate from her, he absorbed all of it. That delicious fear. He enjoyed it. Loved it. Craved for more.
Unconsiously, his hand began tugging the woman's sleeve to show the bared skin of her shoulder. He felt her tremble when he let his lips slit over her neck and shoulder. At one point he licked the latter, enjoying the sharp breath intake of the woman.
In the back of his mind his senses were furiously telling him that what he was doing was wrong and totally crazy, but his body wouldn't listen. Not to him nor to reason, only to that craving feeling inside his stomach. Slowly he opened his mouth...
And bit.
"I had already bonded and we had tried to find out what Kudo's animal would be, but for some reason he didn't know. That's why I think it's a vampire. Kudo doesn't believe in them, so he doesn't think of them as animals. Anyway, I heard the woman scream and smelled blood, so I ran towards the source only to find Kudo sitting against the wall with a woman, who had passed out, in his lap. At first I thought he was just...well...you know..." Hattori blushed a bit. "But then I saw the blood running down her throat.
"Kudo!" Said detective froze immediately. Hattori watched as Shinichi backed away from the woman, confusion and fear being the only emotions in his eyes. Said eyes turned from the blood on the woman's throat to his dark-skinned friend.
"H-Hattori...What..." Hattori didn't reply, he needed to get them out of here, then they'll figure out the rest. He took the woman from Shinichi's lap and put her against the wall. Practically ripping of his jacket he tried to stop the bleeding, while at the same time sending glances towards Shinichi who still sat in the same place, his eyes wide and staring at the ground between his legs. The bleeding stopped, too soon for Hattori's liking, but there wasn't much time to think about it.
"Kudo, come on! We have to go!"
"Somehow we convinced the woman she had fallen on a rock and was knocked unconscious. She returned to her normal life thinking it was a dream. I though still can't forget about it. It was the first time I saw Kudo...feed on a human." Hattori sighed and leaned back in his chair. "After that he swore never to drink blood again...but he didn't last long."
He panted. Hard. He heard his heart pump the blood through his veins in a fast pace.. Sweat covered his forehead and he brushed it away when his breathing slowly started to calm down. He didn't hear anything that happened around him anymore. Not that there was much happening, after all he was alone in his own house. Licking his lips he felt that delicious taste fill his mouth once again. It almost made him want to hunt for more...hunt? What was he thinking about? Hunt for what? "Kudo!" a voice said, making him spin around in. He saw a dark-skinned teen run up the stairs before he looked at him with sad, but understanding eyes. Azure met green for a moment before he turned back towards the bloody figure laying on the ground.
"H-Hattori...will I..." he hesitated. "Will I ever be able to live a normal life?" His fellow detective came to stand beside him. Silence took over as his friend thought of a good way to answer his question.
"No." He said firmly after a while. "I don't think so." Another moment of silence. "Come on, I'll take care of the body. You should change your clothing and take a shower." He looked down at his shirt and pants, both were covered in blood and his shirt was ripped at two spots on his back just between his shoulder blades, then nodded.
"Thank you, Hattori."
"No problem, Kudo."
Kaito was quiet for a moment, before something crossed his mind. "Wait, y-you took care of the-the body? What did you do with it?!" He asked his face filled with horror. That was the moment Shinichi dedcided to come in.
"He burned it." The Heisei Holmes said, putting down yet another tray with three cups. One with black coffee, another with hot chocolate and the last one with tea. Gratefully Kaito took the cup of steamy hot chocolate, savouring the sweet taste. He really had gotten a lot of new information in the past hour.
"You know, you take this pretty good." Hattori suddenly said.
Kaito shook his head. "Well, if you're a phantom thief searching for a legend, with a shrunken detective as your biggest rival you learn not to be surprised by what could happen in the world. Besides you're two detectives who believe this, that should say something. Not to mention you're little demonstration just now and the events of last night, makes it hard not to believe. Still, I probably need some more time to proces everything."
"Take all the time you need." Shinichi said smiling warmly at him. Kaito looked away, a faint blush on his cheeks. Did the detective know how sexy he looked just now?
"Y-you still haven't answered my question though. If you live of blood, how do you get it without killing or hurting anyone?" He asked, trying to change the subject.
The detective-turned-vampire took a sip of his coffee. "Well, for once, I don't live on blood. I still have to eat normal food like any other human. Hattori found someone in the bloodbank who gives me a stock of blood bags every month. It's not like I need it, I don't need blood everyday to keep me alive,, but the problem is that when I go too long without it, it...drives me crazy. Like Hattori just told you, I killed someone because I hadn't drunken blood for over a week. There are also times, like with you for example, when I get hurt and my instincts tell me to drink blood to heal. I can't always control it and your shoulder...your shoulder was bleeding. I smelled it and...couldn't stop myself." Long bangs covered the detective's eyes when he bowed his head. Kaito hated seeing him so sad like that. Before he knew it he was standing in front of the detective and holding out a rose to him. The Heisei Holmes looked up.
"I forgive you for last night."
"Kai-."
A loud cough made both of their heads turn to the side, looking at Hattori who was clearly uncomfortable. "If you want me gone, all you have to do is ask you know."
Shinichi chuckled. "It doesn't matter if you're in the room or not, you'll have to get at least a hundred feet away from us if you don't want to hear us." Kaito looked at the other confused and warrily.
"Now why is that?" He asked, thinking of things he didn't want to think about.
"We're Shapeshifters. Even if we look human now, we still have the abilities of our animals. Meaning Kudo and my senses are stronger than that of a normal human, like hearing for example. You stopped talking because I came into the room, but I had already heard the whole conversation before entering." Hattori explained.
"Wait, does that also mean, you're stronger and faster...like Edward in Twilight?" Shinichi snorted.
"Please don't compare me to that sparkling sissy. First of all he lives on animal blood, I on human. Even if it's not fresh and tasty it gives me more strength than any other blood can. Besides, I can control myself if I'm not hungry." Shinichi grabbed Kaito's wrist and pulled him down until their noses were almost touching. "I can bite you right now and stop whenever I want to, he couldn't do that, could he?" The vampire asked seductively. Kaito swallowed.
"Oi~..." Hattori said. "Take it to the bedroom, Shinichi and seduce him with your vampire charm there." Shinichi pouted, clearly annoyed that the werewolf broke the moment.
"Fine." He said and dragged the magician to his bedroom. The latter saw how the dark-skinned detective shook his head in annoyance as they left. Once inside the vampire let go and headed for his bed, leaving Kaito by the door. "So," he said as he seated himself on the bed. "that's the story. What now?" Azure met indigo and silence reigned as the minutes past.
Really Kaito hadn't had much time to think about the whole thing. Shinichi was a vampire. What did he think about that? One thing he knew from the past weeks was that he couldn't live without him actually, but with the whole vampire thing...He didn't know...it was weird, but for some reason he wasn't that scared. He understood why Shinichi decided to push him away, of course after this explanation. Still, it had hurt and he knew he wasn't going to forgive the detective so soon. And frankly he was a little pissed about Hoodie-san too. Why had the detective done that? Flirting with him – anynomiously – after breaking up.
"What was the deal with Hoodie-san?" He had to know. If not he couldn't decide. He wanted to forgive the detective. Jump into his arms, kiss him like there's no tomorrow, feel that toned chest under his hands, but all the things that happened and his pride...held him back. "Why did you do that?"
Shinichi stayed silent for a moment. His azure eyes litting up in the dimly lit bedroom as the curtains were closed. "I told myself it was because I wanted to destract you. I knew how much pain you were going through and wanted to keep you busy with Hoodie-san, but the truth is...I don't think I could let you go. I wanted – needed – to see you."
Forgive him! Forgive him already! A voice in his head said. Biting his lower lip, he didn't know what to do. Pride made him not want to give in so easily, but his heart was screaming to jump in the detective's arms. He opened his mouth once, then closed it. Again, open and close. Nothing came out, it just wouldn't. Swallowing hard, he forced his voice to speak. "G-give me some time." He looked up. Shinichi sat on the bed, one hand bracing himself a little behind him, making his body tilt a little to the side and backwards and his head almost touching his shoulder. The other hand laid on his crossed legs. Azure eyes stared intensely in his indigo ones. How hypnotising those orbs were. He didn't remember Tantei-kun ever having that intensety. Was it because of the vampire-shapeshifting thing? Maybe he hadn't noticed because of the glasses? He didn't know and frankly didn't want to. The only thing left in the world were those azure eyes.
Suddenly Shinichi looked away, breaking the trans Kaito had been in. "Sure." Kaito shook his head almost violently, then turned around and quickly left the mansion.
~~xXx~~
Holding his favorite Sherlock Holmes book up above his head so he could read while lying on his queen-sized bed Shinichi sighed. He read, he knew for sure he did, but the words nor any letter really processed in his mind. It being deep in thought. It was good of him to tell Kaito, even though he didn't want to get him involved with Snake. He was already involved enough as KID, Shinichi shouldn't add Kaito being his boyfriend to the list. Although, who knows, maybe he decides that this is too much to handle and doesn't want to have anything to do with the detective anymore. Today he had listened to his and Hattori's explanation, but the former had seen the skeptical look in his eyes. Shinichi didn't blame him for questioning it really. Come on, who would believe it if someone said they were a werewolf and a vampire – or in their case Shapeshifters.
He remembered the first few weeks after his bonding. It had been a hell to be with Ran. After all she was scared of all the supernatural mumbo-jumbo, meaning she would be scared of him if he told her about it. His childhood friend on the other thought that now that he was back they were a couple, so they went on dates, causing Shinichi to feel even more guilty and scared of losing her forever if she knew. After a while she began doubting his feelings for her...and it went all down-hill from there.
"Shinichi, I-...I love you."
No.
"I always have."
No!
"For the past two years, I've come to realise that."
NO!
"Kudo Shinichi, I love you!"
No...
"I-..." his heart ached. Everything felt so surreal. He had always wanted, longed even, to hear those three little words, always wanted to say them. Now he would tell her how much he loved her back.
He would have.
"I'm sorry...Ran."
He couldn't...
"I don't...think we should be together."
...let her...
"I see.."
...in his world.
Why is it called heartbreak? It feels like every part of my body is broken too.
How he wished he could have kissed her then, told her that he loved her as well. But he couldn't.
After that Kaito somehow found his way in his life and made him forget about everything. Until Ran came that is and all those scared thoughts and memories came back full force. After Kaito ran away, he had cried all night, before convincing himself to stand up and go to Hattori, who was the only person who would be able to understand him at the time. He grabbed a bag, put some clothing in it and took the first train to Osaka. When the dark-skinned detective opened the door he practically threw himself inside and onto his couch, finally letting out the tears he'd been holding in the whole trip. As understanding as his friend was he didn't say anything, walked towards the kitchen and coming back with a cup of tea. Pulling Shinichi up to a sitting position he handed him the cup and sat down next to him. After the Heisei Holmes' crying had reduced to a soft sobbing he told the whole story about how he met KID's civilian persona and how they started dating. He talked for an hour straight with Hattori only listening to him. He was the best friend Shinichi could ever wish for.
Not only helping him when he was broken, but also with Conan, he was always there when he needed him. Shinichi let his book fall on his chest, staring at the ceiling. Not to mention lately he helped with controlling his new hunger for blood. He had said to Kaito that he could control how much blood he drank from a person, but it's not as easy as he said it was. It took a lot of power from him to stop, but the biggest problem was to not start again. With all the blood covering the wound or the blood that's left in the blood bag. Little by little though it got easier.
Seriously why was he always the one with those kind of troubles? Hattori only needed to adapt to his new abilities, being sharper eyes, nose and ears, the shifting and the new instincts he got – the only problem he ever had is that he almost jumped on Kazuha during the mating season –, but that was it. Shinichi had all that and the craving for blood.
He stood up. Taking off his clothing he saw it was already around midnight. He wondered how long Kaito would need. Knowing you used to date a vampire can't be a pretty thought. Smirking he told himself that he would wait, but that he would allow himself to go to watch the magician during class. As Hoodie-san he had done that once, observing Kaito from a building on the other side of the street, enjoying the pranks he pulled in class – though he got jealous of that girl who looked like Ran, when Kaito flipped her skirt. He put on his pajama pants and tried looking for his shirt, but couldn't find it for some reason.
"Damn it, where did I put it?" Suddenly his ears picked up the shuffling of clothing in front of the door to his bedroom. He looked to the door as it opened, staring at the person entering his room. Kaito glanced around the room a bit, before spotting Shinichi standing in front of his closet wearing only his pajama pants. The magician swallowed as the moonlight made shadows on his chest, showing how muscular the detective was. They stared for a minute, before the indigo eyed teen looked away, blushing furiously. Shinichi raised an eyebrow, then the situation dawned on him. "Sorry, can't find my shirt." He said, continueing to rummage through the closet.
"D-doesn't matter." Kaito began hesitantly. "I-I couldn't sleep...I wanted to..." He blushed even more not daring to look the vampire in the eyes.
The latter smiled warmly. "Come on." He said and closed the closet, then walked back to his bed. The other hesitantly released a small smoke bomb and once the smoke was gone he stood in his pajamas as well. Shinichi chuckled as Kaito crawled in his bed, the blush still burning on his cheek. When he laid down as far away from the detective as possible, said detective pulled him towards him, then sighed contently. Kaito shivered as he felt the sigh in his neck, but didn't resist.
The night was peaceful and Shinichi felt his eyelids grow heavy as he nuzzled his face in the other's neck. His magician was in his arms, making all thoughts and doubts leave him. The room went silent, but after a while Kaito decided to break it with one single sentence. "I still haven't forgiven you though." Shinichi couldn't help but laugh at that nor could he stop the kiss he planted on his prankster's neck.
I love this world we live in.

kakashikrazy256; Nope not Akako, but Redhead-chan wi-wait! I'm not saying anything! Would you let me hear the theory? I'd love to hear what you thought was going on ^^ It's Hoodie-san, why wouldn't he want to see Kaito in a maid costume XD A stupid me! I make a lot of mistakes and I never re-read my chapters nor beta-ed it...stupid me, but I got more accurate...I hope... Yup I love Phillipine! From the moment I created her I liked her ^^ She's quite close to Shin-chan though not in the way you would think :) *smiles sheepishly* I still need a lot of practise before I get nice lime scenes, let alone lemon :) Yeah, that was really cute indeed ^^
Sirastar; Yup he is ^^ Come on, you gotta admit if you were in his shoes you would have wanted to see that too (maybe for other reasons, but still) XD Well, here's your answer!
