So, did anybody notice it? The final line of last chapter?
-xXx-
The three of them stood in the Professor's living room. On the couch lied a small girl, around 8 to 9 years old, with average brown hair.
Shinichi turned to Agasa:
- So, you found this little girl unconscious in front of your house?
The Professor nodded:
- Yes. I was on my way home when I found her, lying on the ground, dressed in clothes which are too big for her, and also a white lab coat. Adult size, of course.
Shinichi frowned:
- That's weird... She must have run until she collapsed... I wonder why she was dressed in oversized clothes...
That was when he felt someone tapping him on his shoulder. He turned around to find no other than... Kuroba Toichi staring back at him.
Shinichi's eyes went wide for a brief moment before turned back to normal:
- Kaito, what do you think you're doing? - he asked, unamused.
"Toichi" grinned back at him:
- What do you think of my new disguise?
Shinichi raised his eyebrow:
- You can't be serious. Your father was really famous and I believe he can still be recognized really easily. So, this kind of disguise - he smacked Kaito slightly on his head - can't be used.
"Toichi" pouted:
- Come on, you're no fun at all! What if...
But he was cut off as there was a small noise coming from the couch. They all turned to see the little girl shifting slightly before her eyes blinked and then opened:
- What... What happened? Where am I?
Professor Agasa knelt down besides her, smiled slightly:
- Don't worry, little girl. You're safe here. - he assured her.
The girl looked at him and then nodded slightly. Kaito, still in "Toichi" disguise, snapped his finger and a rose appeared. He bowed and held the rose towards her:
- Nice to meet you, little girl!
She blinked, then held out her hand to accept the rose, muttering:
- Thank...
But she stopped immediately when she looked up and recognized his face. Her eyes widened in both surprise and fear:
- You... You're Kuroba Toichi... But that's impossible... I thought you were supposed to be killed by Snake... 10 years ago... How come you're still alive?
Kaito and Shinichi froze. They turned to look at each other, then turned back, their eyes glued to the little girl on the couch. Then, after a moment, Kaito smirked slightly:
- He was. Killed I mean. - Then he lift his hand up to his mouth to remove the fake moustache and slighly change his hair back to normal - I'm his son, Kuroba Kaito.
The little girl's eyes widened again, relizing what she had just said.
Kaito's eyes turned cold as he glared at her:
- Now, little girl, tell me all you know about this Snake guy.
Shinichi added:
- And, who are you, exactly?
