A/N

Okay, for some reason, I do feel bad about holding back so many chapters all at once, so I'll let this one go. But I'm still not gonna update until at the very least, Monday… When I get back from my dad's hometown. If possible, I'll be leaving tomorrow, so no updates until Monday. ;) Sorry.

"Shiho~" Akemi called for the nth time that day. She was super excited. Each of her steps had a little jump to it, and her face was brighter than usual. Of course, it was because it's the day of the Ice Cream Heaven festival.

Her usually patient demeanor vanished, turning her into someone pushy. Very pushy, Shiho noted. As she was just checking her schedule, Akemi barged into her lab – ehm, heaven – and just dragged the Alpha out, not leaving her any chance to argue.

"Alright, alright, I get it, I'll go get ready!" Shiho said.

"Be quick, okay~" Akemi said with cheer. 'Okay, then… Huh? Where did my bag go?' she thought when she wanted to take out her phone. Seeing the half-closed door to the basement lab, she smiled. 'Maybe I dropped it in there…'

Entering the lab in playful secrecy, she imagined herself as some sort of secret agent, making her way into enemy territory. Just as she suspected, her bag lay on the ground, near where Shiho sat just a few moments before.

"Really, I should seriously take care of my—"

That's when she saw it. A gun and some small tubes near it, filled with some sort of liquid. She almost never showed an interest towards chemical substances before, but the way it was arranged looked very curious.

There was one in a red section which had 'dangerous' written on it. Another had yellow colour with the writings 'not-so-dangerous' on it. There. Red and yellow. Akemi was not the type for dangers and stuff, even though she thought it to be thrilling.

She then picked up the gun and took some of the yellow-zoned tubes, putting it into the gun as if she was reloading bullets. It fit perfectly, and she wondered if the gun was especially made just for those. Happily hiding the gun away in her bag, she went to the front door with a skip.

Shiho came out wearing a red and black sweater and black jeans which Akemi hated to see her wear. Shiho was not the type to wear tight-fitting clothes, and she knew, yet she couldn't help but want to put her sister in those sexy clothes once in a while, instead of those usually baggy clothes she had.

But she didn't have time for that. Looking at the clock, Akemi pulled her sister by the wrist and off they went, to Ice Cream Heaven.

Shinichi looked around, scanning the crowd for any suspicious figures. He knew that the magician should already be there, even though it was 3 hours before the heist. But he didn't feel as if he were being watched. Usually, he'd feel a pair of eyes on him, and after that the magician would appear behind him, whispering sweet stuff.

He shuddered at the thought. The last time that happened, he had his eyes blocked by a gloved hand, and another hand was placed on his chest, pulling him way too close to the said magician. That time, he remembered what the magician whispered, "I'll be waiting for you to capture me, Tantei-kun." A purr, but enough to send waves of pleasure through his body.

He shook his head.

'Focus!'

Looking around the place, he tried to scout for escape routes. The police would come within one hour prior to the said time, unless Inspector Nakamori had some sort of weird plan in hand.

He remembered that the route in which the Ice Queen would take are all in open spaces, and lower ground. A disadvantage for KID's hang glider and grappling hook gun. But he always had a trick or two up his sleeve.

He then checked the sewers. Nope, all of them were too small for someone to fit, unless they're a child, a tight squeeze would do. Checking the surrounding buildings, he saw one, two or so that would be reachable within a minute or so, if KID could sprint as fast as he can in this kind of crowd.

"Hello, Mr. Detective," someone called from behind him. A beautiful woman stood before him, her clothes were hidden within a long coat. Her eyes gleamed light brown, whilst her hair was long and soft-looking in the colour of autumn red. She was tall, almost taller than Shinichi, but he knew that she was around his height if she took off her high heels.

"Umm, hello?" Shinichi said in slight confusion. He didn't know her, not at all. Why did she suddenly come up to him and said hello?

Seeing the confusion in his eyes, the woman said, "I'm Tina Technolia. Call me Tina."

"Technolia? As in technology, technician?" Shinichi blurted out before he even thought much about it. The woman giggled. "No, my dad named me Technolia because he was a technician, and he didn't have any other names in his mind... My family's a weird bunch, you see…"

"Oh…" Shinichi said, his eyes widened at the weird feel that name had, but smiled anyways because of its' uniqueness. "I'm Kudou Shinichi, nice to meet you," he said, extending his hand to shake hers. "Likewise," she answered, gripping his hand firmly.

'Must've been some kind of habit,' he thought. He remembered the people he'd met when he was smaller, ones who'd been associated with his father. They all had the same firm hand shake. He could only return it with a hand shake just as firm.

"I saw you check for possible escape routes," she said calmly. "You're KID's hunter, aren't you?"

"'Hunter's a little bit…" he said sheepishly. "But I'll capture that thief. I'm sure I will."

"Glad to hear that," Tina said with a smile.

"So, why did you call out to me?" Shinichi asked, the question had intrigued him since they introduced themselves. "Oh, I just wanted to talk to you… And my superiors told me to meet you before I change."

"Change?"

"Yes, I'm the Ice Queen," she said warmly. "Then, I'll be protecting you later, then?" Shinichi joked. "Yes, you will," she replied, a small laugh escaped her lips.

Kaito watched his detective as he licked his double-scooped chocolate vanilla ice cream which had syrup dripping on each side of the scoops. He liked it sweet. Very sweet. The detective bowed before parting with Tina, and made his way to check some more things.

Kaito smiled. "Tantei-kun… You won't ever find my escape route if you only 'look'," he mumbled. Shinichi's head snapped in his direction in attention. Kaito concentrated on his ice cream, pretending to be daydreaming. Shinichi's eyes squinted.

He seemed to be searching for the pair of eyes that had been watching him since he came. Suspicion never left his eyes when he turned to look for something else. "You're too sharp, Tantei-kun…" he said before getting up and threw away his now empty recyclable ice cream bowl into a trash can and made his way to the dressing room.

It was already half an hour prior to his show time.

"Good evening, everyone," Tina said into the microphone. Wearing a white-gold-blue dress and a cape-like clothing, which covered her shoulders and on her back, made its way to the ground, Tina wore the targeted tiara proudly. The mix of snowy colours actually made her autumn red hair stand out even more.

Most importantly, the tiara stood out in the midst of red, giving off a cool aura because of its' silver colour. Snowflake shone from the lights, and Tina's queen-like aura made it look as if the tiara was made just for her.

Shinichi glanced at the clock nervously. Ten more minutes. The speech was about eight or nine minutes long, at most. "That KID actually timed this way too perfectly," he mumbled.

"Anything on your side, Kudou-kun?" Inspector Nakamori asked through the ear piece he had. "Nothing," he replied. "Keep watching," the inspector said and cut the connection.

Then came the applause. Tina bowed and took out a piece of paper. "Well then! Now I'll…" at this point, Tina's voice suddenly changed into one of KID's. "Start the show~"

Cheer came and Shinichi moved fast. Just as KID put on a veil of smoke, Shinichi arrived. The smoke covered the two of them in thick clusters. When it dissipated, Kaitou KID stood right in front of Shinichi, a tiara in hand.

"KAITOU KID!" Nakamori hollered above the cheers from KID's fans. Shinichi reached for the thief and saw that he was dressed as the Ice Queen. But in his mind, what took the highest priority would be to catch KID, and so he did.

His hand grabbed KID's and he smiled. "WE GOT YOU NOW, KAITOU KID! HAHAHAHAAA," Nakamori said, seeing Shinichi's hand which was linked to KID's. "I don't think so, dear Inspector," he said, pulling Shinichi close and cupped his cheek.

A faint scent wafted into Shinichi's nose and he hitched his breath. "Nice expression," KID said fondly, which made Shinichi blush and push him away. But the thief wouldn't let him. Instead, he pulled the detective closer and kissed him.

Roars came from the crowd, but Shinichi's heart beat drowned all other voices. When they pulled away, he felt his face become hot, and KID's cool, gloved hand felt comfortable. A slight blush came on to the magician's cheeks, and he turned to face the crowd.

'No,' Shinichi thought, 'he's not facing the crowd…'

The magician held up the tiara and said, "I have captured the tiara." He bowed and jumped, high enough until his feet caught the thin yet strong wires in which he had prepared beforehand, and started hopping off, one wire at a time, making him seem as if he were starting to fly.

"WAIT RIGHT THERE, KID!" Nakamori yelled and the task force started chasing after the magician.

"Never~" KID said in a sing song manner. Once he was perched on a rooftop, he turned and bowed, and white rose petals started falling like snow. Everyone cheered as he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Shinichi cursed and pulled up his layers upon layers of skirt before he started running. He cursed the flake-like torso part of the dress because it tickled him, and it sort of stimulated him in a weird way. 'This isn't the time to be getting into heat!' he scolded himself.

'Even if it's time for my heat, it shouldn't be this sudden! It must've been the perfume that KID was wearing!' Shinichi concluded as he ran into a back alley, a place where there were less people. KID ran on the rooftops and made it so that Shinichi could still see him, so that the detective would keep on chasing him.

Then, a gunshot was heard. KID staggered and fell, down into the alley way. Shinichi ran faster and caught him. Worried, he quickly scanned the magician's body for injuries, which wasn't that difficult at all, seeing that the blood seeped onto the white suit rather easily.

A shot to the shoulder, and he was bleeding, bad. Laying him down and putting both hands on top of each other to apply pressure and hopefully stop the bleeding, Shinichi huffed. Kaito looked at him through pain-filled eyes.

"My… You're helping… a thief like… me, huh? Tantei-kun?" he said with a small, pained laugh.

"Don't worry. If you get treated soon, you'll be fine," Shinichi said quickly. "It looks like the bullet went through and possibly nearly missed your vital organs too, so you're gonna be okay."

"Hmm…" Kaito said, the place where he was shot felt warm, even under the Omega's hands. He tried to brush the detective off, but Shinichi shot him a glare. "If you move one inch, I'm gonna kill you," he said. Kaito shrugged and laid back down.

Using his other hand, he reached for an ear piece and called his assistant.

"Jii-chan?" he said, a small smile on his face. "I need your help—"

A thud came, and Shinichi fell sideways to the floor. Kaito's eyes widened. "Oi, Kudou-kun?" he said and saw a madly grinning silhouette. "Jii-chan, please come quick—"

The woman hit him also, making him lose consciousness.

Kaito came to in his room. He felt sore on his shoulder, and his head thumped against his skull. Jii was nearby, and he had a smile on his face once Kaito opened his eyes. "Bocchama!" he said happily.

"Jii-chan… How…?"

"You called for my help, didn't you? I found you on the ground, your shoulder and head was bleeding… Good thing I found you before the police did," he said, relief evident in his voice. "Was there… Someone else?" Kaito asked. He had a really bad feeling about it.

"No, you were alone," the old man said. Kaito felt as if his blood had gone down the drain. "Kudou Shinichi…" he muttered. "Eh?"

"Jii-chan, Kudou-kun was with me. He fell unconscious while he was trying to stop my shoulder from bleeding too much. There was a woman. She was the one who hit me," Kaito said. Jii's usually calm and somewhat humorous demeanor turned serious.

A/N

Yay! Shinichi getting stolen in a heist! Not by KID, mind you. Yay! I can't believe I dug myself a grave… Can you imagine going to the airport at dawn just to catch a plane? I mean, seriously, I'm not a morning person! Oh, and if you're wondering about the name Technolia, I got that inspiration because one of my middle school teachers have that name XD.

Oh well~
