Detention: Chapter Ten
"C'mon Kudo, you only have fifteen more to go," Shiho ordered.
"Seriously?" Shinichi gasped, his chest burning and his face blazing red.
"I'm kidding, you have twenty-five presses to go," Shiho replied, skimming through a set of magazines.
"You know what? I've always wanted bench pressed two hundred and fifty pounds before and now I'm regretting it. Can I please stop?" He complained.
"By your unnecessary whining Kudo, you didn't realize that you finished your presses," Shiho said dully.
Shinichi used his last ounce of energy to place the barbell back into place. "Oh my god Shiho, when the torment's gonna end?"
"Cheer up already, you have one more exercise to go, which is running the track outside."
"That seems manageable. How many laps?"
Shiho smirked evilly, "Ten laps, full sprint, without walking or jogging."
His eyes enlarged, "You're kidding right?"
"I'm dead serious this time or do you want to lose to Kaito-kun who's been on the varsity wrestling team," she warned.
"Okay, I'll run the ten laps," he said, "I bet you wouldn't do this if you had to fight someone," Shinichi grumbled to himself but Shiho heard it anyway.
"What was that Kudo?"
'Shoot,' he thought, "Oh, uh…nothing," Shinichi slowly backed away before running out the gym door to the track.
Shiho shook her head, a smile growing on her face, 'That moron…but he's my moron,' she sighed following where Shinichi left. "Are you ready to run until your heart stops," Shiho taunted, placing the whistle between her lips.
Shinichi chose to ignore that comment, "Ready," he said.
She blew the whistle and he took off.
Running into his fifth lap, Shinichi's legs staggered, and fatigue started to take over his body.
'This is insanity! My body feels like it's on fire and my tongue is so dry.' He ran three more laps, 'Two more to go. I can do this,' Shinichi thought with enough persistence.
Shinichi tore through the final two laps without any obstruction.
"Congratulations Kudo-kun, you've completed your training. Here's your reward," Shiho tossed Shinichi a bottle of water.
He grasped the bottle in mid-air and brought it to his parched lips, chugging it down hastily.
Shiho checked the time on her watch, "It's time to go home Shinichi. You need to relax for tomorrow," she advised.
He nodded his head and sluggishly walked to the car.
Fifteen minutes later…
"See you tomorrow and be prepared for my test," Shiho called out as Shinichi unlocked the door to his house.
"Huh? What test? You never told me about it," he yelled out, confusion written on his face.
"Never go to sleep in my class, Shinichi, or you would've known that it was on the board," Shiho said, "Figure out which section to study," she drove off.
Shinichi waved at the disappearing car, dumbfounded, 'Wow, a test and a fight tomorrow. This is going to be an entertaining day,' Shinichi entered his house and plopped down on his bed and began to study for the unexpected chemistry test.
At Teitan High
"So Kuroba-sensei, you're gonna give Kudo a scuffle of a lifetime?" One of the teachers asked, walking beside Kaito in the hallway.
"Oh yes, that detective is going to beg for mercy by the time I'm through with him," Kaito laughed.
"Make sure you put him in a headlock," the other teacher joked.
"Absolutely," Kaito said, "see you guys later."
The next day…
Shinichi walked the halls of his school to see unfamiliar signs posted on the walls. The signs read, 'THE BIGGEST FIGHT IN TEITAN HIGH HISTORY,' 'Student Detective vs. Student Teacher,' and a mixture of their names all over the school. Half of the student body and teachers for Shinichi and the other half for Kaito.
"Good morning Kudo-kun," Kaito greeted from his class with a smirk on his face.
"Kuroba! Kuroba! Kuroba!" Kaito's class chanted from their seats.
"Good morning to you too, Kuroba-sensei. I see you have your fans with you," Shinichi commented.
"They're only cheering for the greatest," Kaito said smugly.
'Yeah, the greatest jerk,' Shinichi thought while saying 'We'll see' and walked off to homeroom.
When he arrived to his first hour class, everybody stood up from their seats and clapped, cheering 'Kudo is the best' or 'Beat Kuroba.'
Even his sensei applauded Shinichi, "Good luck Kudo-san," he patted Shinichi's back.
"Thank you Sensei," Shinichi smiled before going to his seat.
The rest of the day was full of excited students discussing who's gonna win the fight. Some argued which is better. The girl population was split, half for Shinichi but more than half was for Kaito.
Eighth period finally arrived and the excitement increased tenfold. Once again Shinichi entered the room, all of his classmates applauded. Shiho stood in front of Shinichi and moved her face closer to his.
The whole class fell silent and brought their attention to the couple.
"Good luck, I'll be supporting you Shinichi," she whispered softly in his ear before placing a feather-like kiss on the corner of lips.
Shinichi blushed tomato red as the class watched the scene in front of them.
Ran smiled at the two, 'I'm happy that you found happiness with Miyano-san, Shinichi,' she thought.
"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" The class yelled out.
"That's enough, everyone turn to page 348 in your textbooks and work on questions one through thirty then after everyone is finished the test will be taken," Shiho said deadly calm.
"Yes ma'am," they said, a little frightened.
The rest of the day went by fast and now its 4:58, all the students and teachers entered the gym. Cheers erupted as the two main attractions emerged. Kaito was the first to come in. He was sporting blue sweat pants and a plain white t-shirt. Majority of the girls, even Ran, stood up and yelled until they became hoarse. Shinichi was the last to come out and he was still in his uniform. He looked at Shiho and gave her a quick wink as the rest of the students in the gym screamed. Both boys were in the center of the court when Yukiko came in her referee outfit.
"Oi, oi, kaa-san what's with the get-up," Shinichi whispered, annoyed.
"You know I gotta be official Shin-chan," Yukiko winked at her son. "Okay! Let's get this started," she shouted through the mic.
'Yeah,' everyone shouted.
"Over to my right at 5'11 and weighing at 158 pounds, we have Kuroba Kaito. And to my left, also at 5'11 and weighing at 152 pounds, the Detective of the East, Kudo Shinichi! There are only a couple of small rules: 1. No hitting below the belt and 2. This is a last man standing match. Now…BEGIN!" Yukiko blew her whistle.
Kaito approached Shinichi, circling around him, "You can't fight. You're just a detective; you have no skills on art."
"Who said anything about art? Detectives only find the truth for justice," Shinichi smirked.
"Eh, I guess it's alright. But there's one thing that detectives can't compare too…and that's thieves," Kaito countered, dropping a smoke bomb on the floor.
Pink smoke filled the whole gym. Everyone was confused as they started coughing. Shinichi started to look around, desperately trying to find Kaito. Suddenly Shinichi felt a heavy blow across his head. He stumbled for a minute but he kept his ground.
Kaito appeared out of nowhere, "Having a hard time tantei-kun?"
"Never," Shinichi answered dropping down to a sweep kick.
Kaito quickly noticed the move and kneed Shinichi's chin.
"Damn you're quick," Shinichi gasped, wiping the blood off from his lip.
"Talking is not going to distract me Kudo. You better come up with a different plan," Kaito taunted before turning around to bow to the crowd.
Shinichi laid low in a crouching position and slowly stalked towards the teen. Immediately he tackled Kaito to the ground, knocking the air out of him. Shinichi got up and placed his feet on Kaito's chest, "Do you give up Kuroba," he gritted through his bloody teeth, putting more pressure on Kaito.
Taking a deep breath, Kaito placed his hands around Shinichi's ankle used all of his strength to twist it enough to make the young detective fall onto his back, which resulted his head hitting the hardwood floor. Shinichi groaned in pain, 'Man he's too strong. There has to be certain weakness.'
Dizziness took over as he tried to focus on which of the three Kaitos' he saw was the real one. Shinichi swung blindly, almost hitting his target. Kaito swiftly dodged the oncoming fist and in return he struck his powerful fist in Shinichi's abdomen.
"Ahhh," Shinichi hissed, clenching his stomach.
"C'mon Kudo, you gotta be tougher than that or are you just a weakling," Kaito chuckled.
The crowd stared in awe, watching Shinichi getting whooped by Kaito. Some shook their heads in disbelief, thinking how is Shinichi gonna lose to a student teacher.
Anger filled Shinichi. He got into his fighting stance, "Let's go," he spat.
"Ah, so the detective is ready to rock. Then bring it on."
Shinichi took off his blue blazer, loosened his tie, and unbuttoned a few buttons from his shirt, "I'm ready for ya Kuroba."
Kaito charged towards Shinichi. He jumped in mid-air and did a 720 kick, effectively hitting Shinichi square in the jaw on the right. Surprisingly, he didn't fly across the court but he kept his place.
More blood spilled from his lips, 'What the hell? He learned martial arts too?'
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You're really becoming a bore for me," the unscathed teen yawned.
This time, Shinichi ran towards Kaito to do a reverse kick but he dodged it. While Kaito was preoccupied dodging the kick, Shinichi switched directions and thrust his elbows into Kaito's throat. The move was unexpected for the teacher. He grasped his throbbing throat, wheezing and gasping for air. Quickly, while Kaito was trying to catch his breath, Shinichi threw a left jab across his opponent's face, hitting him directly on the nose. Kaito landed on his back. Red, sticky liquid squirted through his nose, most likely broken.
Over at the sidelines, Shiho watched the fight with interest, 'I know you can beat him Shinichi. I believe in you.'
Kaito rose sluggishly, wiping his bloody nose on his shirt, "And I thought you were weak."
"Never underestimate a detective. Now let's finish this," Shinichi threw an upper-cut against Kaito's jaw.
"Huh?" Shinichi was puzzled, this wasn't Kaito, this was a…a dummy dressed as Kaito!
"Night- night tantei-kun," Shinichi heard someone whispered before feeling a sharp kick behind his head.
"Arrggghh!" Shinichi screamed in excruciating pain. He felt blood trickle down the back and the side of his head. His breath became ragged, everything was blurry, and everything went silent for only a few moments. Shinichi's vision became clearer as he stood up again, refusing to lose this fight.
"I'll give you your props Kudo. You're a tough opponent," Kaito praised.
Blood oozed gruelingly from Shinichi's face, "I do what I can."
Once again, determined to win, Shinichi rushed to Kaito with his fist raised. Kaito had foreseen this action and kicked Shinichi, HARD, in his stomach. More agonizing screams escaped from the detective's lips. 'What's in his shoes? Weights?'
"Let's end this with one final blow, shall we?" Kaito suggested, sweat clinging onto his flimsy shirt and his hair sticky.
"I…agree."
Both exploded in new found energy. Their fists collided with each other's face. One collapsed, the other smirked in success before falling along with his opponent. The cheering and the smiling faces of the students and the teachers were all a distant and silent memory now.
Eyes opened to the familiar all white room.
'Ugh, why am I back at the hospital,' Shinichi thought.
"I see that you're finally awake," Shiho whispered.
"Shiho." He smiled, "I though you said that you weren't going to visit me if I get sent back here?"
"Baka, do you know what damage that Kaito-kun has done to you?"
"No...what?" Shinichi questioned curiously.
"Well, you have a few broken ribs, your lips are busted, and you had a concussion. You've been out for two days," Shiho reported.
"Wow, I'm surprised it's not that serious," Shinichi said sarcastically.
She glared at him, "Look, yo-"
"Miyano-san, there's a gentleman who would like to speak to you," a nurse interrupted.
"I'll be right back. Go get some rest," Shiho said as she walked out.
"Hello Miyano-san," a man around his forties spoke.
"Hello, superintendent. Is there a reason why you are here?" Shiho asked.
"Yes, there is. I would like to discuss your relationship with one of your students…Kudo Shinichi," he said firmly.
I am totally sorry for the late update. (On knees to beg for forgiveness)
If you want a quicker update then all you gotta do is…REVIEW!
