Teehee. Apologize for long wait. But i'm officially back after some gruesome exams. yes! I LOVE DC MOVIE 14 IS COMING OUT SOON IN SUBS. cant wait. okay here's the long due chapter. Chapter 11: A day with Kuroba and a request from Tantei-kun


"kaitou! What were you doing on Friday? You didn't even come to school AND! You just disappeared into Osaka!" Aoko vented, slamming her palms onto Kuroba's table.

BAM

"Calm down Aoko. It was nothing. I just went there cos…" before Kaitou could finish,

"the kid heist." a certain blonde detective finished, putting the paper he was holding down gently on the table. His piercing eyes staring right at Kuroba.

Kuroba turned to face him. "Yes oh mister-great-and-mighty-Hakuba-tantei? Is there anything you wanna to say?"

"the only reason for you to disappear to Osaka is the Kid heist." Hakuba pointed to the paper he had put on the table. The headlines read, "KID SHOT AT HEIST. DEAD OR ALIVE?"

"This is the reason right?" Hakuba said. "you were at the heist." He finished, hinting at Kuroba. "or rather you were in the heist."

"Seriously? You were there? Was kid really shot?" suddenly the crowd of female classmates flooded Kaitou, bombarding him with questions.

Kaitou shot Hakuba a death stare.

"I went to the heist yeah. But I didn't see anything. There were too many people. But his magic is as magnificent as ever! The indoor fireworks! I wonder how he did that. That was really a sight to behold. Colourful firecrackers into the ceiling! It was amazing!" Kaitou said in admiration for Kid, or rather his alter ego. It was like boasting of himself from a third person perspective. And it felt good.

"Really? That's so nice. What did he do? The media is all over the shooting and didn't even give enough coverage about the heist!" some girls pressed, leaning in enthusiastically on Kuroba's table.

"Do you think he's really dead?" a voice piped up amongst the questions of enquiry for details.

"I don't believe so. In the first place, there is no evidence of a shooting happening. Someone just started screaming about shooting and everyone just panicked. Moreover…"

"It doesn't matter!" Aoko yelled furiously. "He isn't dead!"

A dumbfounded group of classmates stared at the ever-hate-Kid Aoko. Since when did Aoko not want the Kid dead?

"My dad hasn't caught him yet so he can't die." she explained.

The atmosphere suddenly chilled. -.-"'

"Eh.. Leaving that aside. I shall continue my description on what happened. It was wonderful and there was….. (fades)

~ At the Beika Police Headquarters

Conan had his deep in thought look as he left the headquarters after his little eavesdropping. No, to be more precise it was 'gathering data', eavesdropping made it sound so criminal.

He didn't have a choice anyway. Not like the police would want to leak this case. It would have a hazardous impact if the bomber found that the person(s) who carried out his anti-bombing plan was not the police. And it wouldn't leave the good impact to the media anyway.

For now, Conan noted down the details onto his memory, filing them away. He had a more important mission at hand. He needed to find Kuroba.

~Ekoda High School

Conan reached Ekoda High School half an hour before the end of lessons. He had, using his kiddish voice to ask the security guard at the post for the end of school time using the excuse of picking up his oniiiii-chann, flashing his cheezy grin. The security had given the answer to him off course, who could deny what Conan asks for when he is in that i-am-so-young-and-smart-and-honest mode. So there he was, leaning casually against the school gate, waiting for a certain someone to come into view.

Precisely 43 minutes later, a tall slender male came into view, strikingly familiar to a certain someone he knew, himself.

Kuroba spotted Conan at the gate 5 minutes before he reached the gate. He was giving him his all-knowing smile which irked him. He just had a bad feeling that this little boy at the doorway or rather his not-exactly-so-small arch nemesis was not just here to play.

"Yo Conan-kun." Kuroba was the first to greet him as he walked past the school gate, stopping in front of the chibi tantei. "Konnichiwa Kuroba-san." Conan smiled sweetly which made Kuroba twitch. "Awww. Isn't this the boy at the station the other day with the girl you were flirting with?" Aoko said, with a edge to her voice giving Kuroba her razor-suspicious eyes. "I wasn't." Kuroba defended, raising both palms in front of him like a defense. Aoko wanted to wack Kuroba but at the moment she was preoccupied with the little boy in front of him. "Ne. what's your name, little boy?" She asked bending down.

"Conan. Edogawa Conan, onee-san." Conan answered politely.

"He's sooo cute!" Aoko said, rushing into a bear hug, lifting poor Conan-kun off his feet. Conan went into a state of shock.

"Oh, so sorry about that." Aoko smiled sheepishly as she set him down. "I'm Aoko. His guy's classmate." she said, giving the look to Kuroba. Kuroba returned it with his what-did-I-do-wrong-again face.

"What are you here for?" She asked, turning her focus back to Conan.

"To see Kuroba-san!" Conan replied, still smiling.

"Oh I see. Ja, both of you have fun." She said, then she added in a whisper to Conan. 'but be careful not to grow up like him ok?" Conan nodded. "Hai, Aoko-neesan." Aoko smiled and left with something like 'what a good boy' hanging on her lips.

Kuroba and Conan watched her go.

"Eh. So Conan-kun is here to see him. I am soo touched." Kuroba said.

"Baro. Like anyone is here to see you." Conan replied in his normal, more mature voice. There was no need to keep up pretenses with this guy anyway. He turned to walk. Kuroba followed.

"What did she say just now to your ear?" Kuroba asked.

"not to grow up like you." Conan replied. "I won't." He smirked.

'This chibiiiii." Kuroba thought. He made sure to note down the next time during a heist he is soooo going to pay Kudo back.

'Anyway I have favour to ask to the great magician Kid." Conan said softly, only loud enough for kuroba to hear.

'What's that? Meitantei-san." Kuroba replied with the same tone.

"you can hack into the public surveillance camera right?"

"Eh?... Yeah, more or less." Kuroba was shocked at the direction of this conversation.

"ja even the Beika cameras?"

"Sure if there is a need to. Why?"

"There a case I need help to solve. The police won't give the info and there's also this other thing…." Conan said as he recalled the strange man outside the mouri-tantei agency. He just have this bad feeling about that guy in black.

"Case? And why am I obliged to help my arch nemesis.?"

Conan smirked. "cause I know your name."

Kuroba returned with his own version of the same smirk. "And I also know yours."

"but you won't tell. Cause of them." Conan shrugged. "you can't. Your nobody gets hurts policy won't allow for that."

'che. You're no fun tantei-kun."

'Whatever. So can you do it or not?"

"yeah I can. It won't take more than a jiffy but you can must come to my house to do it. I don't want leaks and traces left behind. I don't trust any other computer except mine."

"anything. Aren't we like going there now?" Conan said as he pointed to the Kuroba house nearing them.

~ somewhere. Someplace.

'damn those police. How on earth did they know what I am doing? How on earth were they able to stop me not once, not twice but FOUR TIMES! It didn't make sense. Did they found out I am already? Then why were there no attempts to apprehend me? It didn't make sense.

But whatever, the next target is set and the plan is drawn up. If they can, they can try to stop this all they want. But this time. I will succeed and take my revenge

Stupid police. If they were so smart then how can they not solve Mi-chan's murder? If they were so smart, then why did they let that son of a ********* get away with his damn crime.

"I'm so sorry Fukuba-san. The case about your murder daughter Mi Fukuba was dropped due to the lack of evidence. I'm really sorry about it Fukuba-san. We did all we could. But the guy…

~ Kuroba's house

"Sorry for intruding." Conan said as he entered the house of the great magician under the moonlight. It was relatively normal on the surface, more normal then he had expected anyway. He had thought that traps were would wound everywhere. Or perhaps he had another place for this alter ego.

'Ala! Kaitou, who's this boy-ya?" A woman relatively young around mid-30s stepped into view from the presumably kitchen.

"Oh. Conan from Beika." Kuroba answered as he took off his shoes.

"Ala. From so far away? Alone. Such a dangerous thing for such a young boy to do." Then she turned to Conan and smiled.

"Conan-kun, would you like cookies? I just baked some. Oh, by the way I'm Kaitou's mother." She smiled.

"Thanks but no thanks, obaa-san. I just ate before coming here." Conan smiled as he followed after Kuroba up the stairs.

"Your mom is nice." Conan commented as he entered Kaitou's room, messy as he expected.

"Ma… she's nice when she's nice. She can be a beast if she feels like it." Kuroba shrugged.

Conan wandered around his room as Kuroba turned on the computer, dump his briefcase and school stuff on the floor.

"ne have I been here before?" Conan suddenly asked.

Kuroba swiveled the chair to look at him, puzzled. "I don't think so. Why?"

"I don't know." Conan said, as he touched the portrait of the magician Tochi Kuroba. "I somehow feel… like this place is familiar."

Suddenly the big portrait of Tochi Kuroba turned and swiveled open. Conan jumped back in shock.

The opened door of the portrait revealed a room filled with Kid stuff and another huge picture of Tochi Kuroba but now in Kid uniform.

"how… how did you do that?" Kuroba asked, shocked beyond words. Conan turned to face him, a slightly puzzled and bemused look on his face.

'how did I do what?"

"open that door. I thought it had fingerprint sensor to open only to me."

"Really? I don't know. I just touched the portrait."

"but mom did say that my father specially installed fingerprint reading device such as it can only be opened by me and Jii. How did you…..?"

"beats me. " Conan shrugged. "it just opened. Still this room is cool. I didn't really know that you had so many Kid uniforms." He said as he walked through the portrait gingerly.

The room was small but not too small. It had a row of white, washed and pressed Kid uniform. Boxes of possibly magic tools and other uniforms that Kid had used. Multiple hand gilders lay folded in a corner. A huge clean table with books, possibly all the magic tricks that Kid had ever used to get his hands on a jewel.

Kaitou followed Conan through the portrait. He let Conan explore the room while he examined the fingerprint door opening device. Everything was function properly. But why did it open to tantei-kun?

Suddenly there were footsteps up the stairs. Kuroba and Conan ducked out the hidden room. Kuroba shut the door. The bedroom door opened to show Kuroba's mom with a tray of cookies.

"Since it's done. I thought I would bring it up for both of you." She smiled.

"arh… sure… Leave it on the table." Kaitou said.

Kaitou's mom smiled and did as told. "How long will you be here for? It's already 4pm. You need to be back tomorrow for school right?" She asked Conan. "

Conan nodded. "Yeah. It's ok. I can stay until 6pm. Someone will pick up if I'm late and I called home already to say I'm visiting." He smiled.

"Oh. Then it's ok. Have fun boys." She said as she walked down the stairs.

"About the video thing, which area do you want?" Kuroba asked.

"Firstly, hmmm." Conan recalled the conversation he had heard at the headquarters. "Beika green. 17 August to 20 August. Then, Meiko bus company. 29 August to 31 August. Then lastly, 8 September to 12 September the storerooms at the jetty there…. If I remember correctly its…. Storeroom 56. Oh add Mouri tantei agency 19 September. "

Kuroba nodded as he began to type on his computer.
