Anyway…
"Talking"

"And?"

"Now to the story."
Enjoy!
Unexpected Day
"Babysitter?" said everyone in unison. They knew that Conan was the most mature and intelligent from their group along with Haibara, so the fact that their friend had a babysitter was news to him. They had guessed that Ran trusted him to take care of himself, but then again he always wound himself in trouble and ended up injured one way or another most of the time.
"That's right~, Conan-kun's neechan is my friend and she asked me to baby-sit your friend here the other day. And we had so much fun together didn't we?" said Kaito with a smirk in his face, Conan had two choices, tell them what he did to him and make his peers see him with hatred, or telling him what he did and having his peers laugh at him for wearing a dress and find the magician likeable.
"O-of course we had a good time, Kuroba-san is a very good magician and his tricks are great." Not going to lie, I still haven't figured out how did he put that card inside my closed book… "So what are you doing here?" If he plans to humiliate me again…
"Well usually I come here once in a while and give a magic show to the kids, although I never expected to find you here with your friends." Must be my lucky day! I planned on sending my notice later today but I guess I'll be able to see Tantei-kun without his glasses!
"Are you a good magician?" asked Ayumi. (a/n: I don't really like her, she puts the gang in a lot of trouble in the series and can't see that Conan is only interested in her as a friend, sorry to all of the AyumiXConan fans.)
"If I'm good? I'm…" and out of nowhere with a movement of his hands there was an explosion of colors! Doves flew out of his clothes, balloons flew up in the air and a bunch of other trinkets too. All of the kids in the park stopped to look and the Shonen Tantei were awestruck, Haibara had their eyes filled with interest and Conan was just wondering how did he keep the doves under his clothes. After all the smoke, glitters, and colorful trinkets started to dissipate, Kaito finished his sentence along with a bow. "…extraordinaire!"
The Shonen Tantei and all the kid and adults who stopped to watch started to give him a round of applause.
"Thank you everyone!" oh how he enjoyed the sound of amused spectators, he couldn't wait to have the same kind of treatment during his next heist! Oh how much fun he was going to have messing with the whole Kaitou Kid Taskforce! After the applause calmed down he decided to put his new plan into action and see if he could see Conan without his glasses, oh how much fun he was going to have!
"Kuroba-san you're so cool!" said Ayumi in much awe and had a slight blush on her face, Genta and Mitsuhiko glared at the magician at seeing her reaction.
"So, how did you manage to do all that?" asked Haibara out of curiosity, she might not love magic but she didn't like being left with doubt, getting answers to questions and doubts was aprt of being a scientist after all.
"Sorry, ojousan, but a good magician never reveals his secrets." said Kaito while smiling, if this girl who was just as smart as Conan couldn't figure it out then he was sure he couldn't be able to either.
"I see, then did you figure it out Edogawa-kun?" asked Haibara with her usual grin, after all if she couldn't figure it out herself then her partner in crime couldn't either.
"Well… I'm not entirely sure…"
"Wait, you haven't figure it out?" asked Mitsuhiko, as the third most intelligent of the group he found it difficult to believe that his friend was not able to figure out a magic trick.
"I didn't say that!"
"Then tell us!" said the Shonen Tantei.
"…I…don't know…" at hearing this, the Shonen Tantei saw this as a great chance! If Conan didn't know how and they figure it out then for the first time they would have defeated Conan!
"Really? Coming that from you it's a first, after all you're Kid's rival I thought you might figure this one out." said Kaito who was grinning, if Conan wasn't able to figure it out then he might be able to have a very successful heist.
"Sorry I'm not interested in magic." said Conan in an annoyed tone. For some reason the magician was able to get on his nerves pretty easy.
Not interested in magic? Then why does he go to my heists in the first place? "Really? Then why do you go to Kaitou Kid's heists?"
"None of your business."
"Aw come on~ as a fellow Kid fan~."
"Who says I'm fan of that thief?" said Conan even more annoyed. Who in their right mind would be interested in a thief? Then remembering Sonoko and all the other fan girls the thief had he sweat dropped internally. The damned thief had a fan club of his own, well so did he! But since he has been gone for so long…well it didn't matter, since he shrunk he stopped being as arrogant, he became more humble and he had a new rule that he wouldn't let anyone die, criminal or not they all deserved to live and their fate was decided in court. Before he could even had cared less but after witnessing the suicide of Asou Seiji from the Moonlight Sonata Murder Case in Tuskikage Island he decided that no matter what, people had the right to live.
"Then why do you go?"
"None. Of. Your. Business."
"Tsk, you are not fun." Kaito pouted at the answer, in Conan's opinion he was too old to pout although it strangely suited him.
"Sorry I'm not made for your entertainment. Let's go guys to the library better." The faster I'm away from this guy the faster I'll be back at the agency reading case files…
"Hey can Kuroba-san accompany us? It'll be a lot of fun!" asked Ayumi in a way that no one could have said no to her.
"Sure! And how about I'll buy guys some snacks later for watching my little show?"
"Oi oi, the library is no place for magic tricks, I don't think they'll allow a guy like him in there." said Conan in an effort to leave the magician behind.
"I'll behave~." said Kaito in a semi-childish voice and everyone had accepted the offer of him buying them food so there was just not a chance for Conan to avoid him then.
"C'mon Conan, he said he'll buys us snacks!" said Genta with enthusiasm, anyone who was buying food was instantly his friend.
Well, if he buys food and with Genta in our group…his wallet is going to cry, might as well serve as punishment from what he did to me. "Alright, he can come."
"Yay!" announced Genta and the others too.
I thought he was going to refuse even more, oh well, how much can these kids eat anyway? (a/n: who feels sorry for our favorite thief?) "Alright! Let's go!"
While they were walking Haibara and Conan stayed on the back and started a conversation, one that Conan wished he didn't have right now.
"The girl Genta was talking about, it was you right?"
"W-what? Don't be ridiculous…"
"The fact that you acted nervous when Genta mentioned it, you glaring at this magician who just happened to baby-sit you yesterday, and the emphasis on the word fun makes me believe that one way or another you ended up in a dress thanks to magician-san here." replied Haibara while grinning, she enjoyed making Conan suffer from time to time.
"I hate when you are as smart as I am…"
"You are the one who didn't take off your glasses when you were in the dress, remember that Genta said that the only reason the girl reminded him of you is because she 'looked' like you because 'she' too was wearing glasses."
"Do you plan on telling them?"
"Nope, I'll make sure it doesn't slip my lips as long as I have a new purse from my favorite designer by next Saturday afternoon."
"Oni-Onna*…"
"Did you say something?"
"Nothing."
"I thought so."
During the walk Kaito kept on doing small magic tricks, the same kind he did when Conan was reading his book back at the agency. And from time to time he would do a trick that will cause for Conan's glasses to slightly come off but he was fast and put them back one right away before Kaito had a chance to see. He kept doing that for a while until they stopped in front of a small café just a few blocks away from the library.
"Hey how about we eat now before we reach the library?" This will give me another chance to knock off Tante-kun's glasses~!
"Sure!" everyone said in agreement but Conan was very much annoyed at the magician's antics. Just what is his deal! Is his plan to break my glasses or what?! he was thinking this while they seated in a booth large enough for all six of them to fit, Mitsuhiko ended up sitting next to Haibara, and Ayumi ended up sitting in between Genta and Haibara even though she wanted to sit next to Conan, too bad for ou little detective since he ended up sitting next to Kaito who was a little too close for his comfort. If he tries any more tricks I'll put him to sleep with my watch and then leave him here. Although as much as Kaito enjoyed messing with Conan he decided tha he should wait until his guard was down, and right now it was up with the whole artillery.
"Hello! Welcome to Nakatsu's Café and Deli! What can we get for you to drink?" asked a waitress to the kids, and waited for their answer.
"A lemonade!" said Ayumi.
"Cola." said Mitsuhiko and Genta.
"Ice tea." said Haibara.
"Water." said Conan.
"Ok, and for you sir?"
"I'll have a chocolate milkshake, and this…" and with a hand movement Kaito made a white rose appear out of nowhere and handed it to the waitress while giving her a wink. "…is for you my fair lady." The waitress blushed madly and thanked Kaito for the rose, gave the kids and him menus and left to get the drinks. Genta and Mitsuhiko took notes in their pads to learn from Kaito while Ayumi fantasized of Conan giving her a bouquet of roses. Haibara just raised an eyebrow and Conan rolled his eyes, this guy was as flirtatious as Kid.
"If you keep doing that you are never going to have a girlfriend." said Conan in a matter of fact tone to Kaito.
"What makes you say that?" asked Kaito with interest.
"The simply fact that you flirt with every girl you see will give you a reputation of a player, of course unless you already have that reputation at your school."
"Ouch, that hurts you know?" said Kaito semi-dramatically.
"But it's the truth no? Guys like you will never get a girl since you spend your time being overly friendly with other girls."
"Hey don't say that, you never know." said Kaito a little annoyed, he already had a girl he liked! It was Aoko and he loved her. Do you really? Of course he liked her, he has liked her since they were kids and she liked him back. But she is starting to notice Hakuba… But if he confessed they would be together right? But she hates Kaitou Kid, He knew that, and he also knew she was planning on becoming a police officer, she will keep on hating Kid and a romance with her would be impossible, but he still liked her right? As a possible girlfriend or as a sister? Before he could answer his own question the waitress came back with the kids drinks and his own.
"Are you guys ready to order? Or do you need a few more minutes?"
"I'm ready! I'll have an omrice!" said Ayumi cheerfully.
"I'll have three plates of unagi, two plates of takoyaki and a big bowl of rice!" said Genta.
He can't be serious right? He shouldn't be able to finish it all right? asked Kaito while remembering how much cash he had in his wallet. Conan just smirked at seeing the magicians expression, looks like he will run out of money by the end of today.
"I'll have a ham sandwich" said Mitsuhiko while taking a sip of his soda and still stealing glances at Haibara whom ordered a fruit salad.
"I'll have some takoyaki." said Conan while folding his menu and setting it down.
"I'll have two plates of dango." said Kaito while handing back his menu and hoping that he would still have money left by the end of the day.
"Alright, your food will be here in several minutes, if you need anything else just call me."
"Hai!" said everyone and then the waitress left to send their orders to the kitchen.
"Nee Kuroba-san can you shows us another magic trick?" asked Ayumi and Kaito couldn't say no, after all he was an entertainer.
"Ok, let me show you this one." he reached down his pocket and took out a small spinning top. Using his fingers he gave it a good spin and started to spin in every direction on the table. Conan who was not impressed decided to drink from his glass. The spinning top then started to jump and spun around the rim of the glasses without falling in and jump from each one to a different one every time. The kids not seeing Kaito move his hands were astonish as to how was Kaito controlling the toy without doing apparently nothing. When the toy wanted to jump and spin around Conan glass but was not able since the glass was raised because Conan was drinking from it, the toy ended up jumping from below the glass hitting the bottom and splashing Conan's face with water. Kaito looked like he didn't plan for that to happen and he probably wasn't.
"Hey!"
"Sorry, that was not supposed to happen." said Kaito while retrieving the top.
"Kuso…" said Conan while grabbing some napkins and proceeded to take off his glasses. Kaito just froze and stared, it was his chance to see Conan without the glasses! Just when he was about halfway of taking them off….
TBC…
Translation notes: Oni-Onna*=Devil Woman, I'm sure Conan called her that one in a chapter of the manga or in an episode of the anime.
Cliffhanger~ Hope you liked the chapter ^^!
