Ohayo! Saphhire Nightshade here! Actually, I did write this when I normally do after I wake up. The only difference is I woke up later. Just a warning, there will be no chapter tomorrow, unfortunately. So I'm either going to do two today or two on Sunday, not sure which.
Only this morning, a few minutes after I woke up, did I have an idea for how to start this chapter. I hope it's good.
Chapter 21:
Kid was hidden behind a tree again. After a while, it seemed that Conan gave up on the noise, which was a relief to the phantom thief. He was finally able to see where the young detective had been heading. But now he wondered, why was he going to a palace? Where even was this place, this . . . this place that never had a shadow, unless you flew high above everything into the black sky?
The kaito heard voices. He climbed the tree and peeked through the branches in order not to be seen. He saw the brat with glasses take out a strangely familiar object. Then he remembered, it was the "Fortune's Companion". Why on earth would he still have that?
Then he noticed the artwork started glowing, and changed shape, until he saw the stranger that was with Conan when he first came to this place. Kid was taken aback. "What?" he whispered. How did this piece of gold change into a living, breathing human? It didn't make sense.
"So now what?" Conan asked the person. "No doubt that there's security or something like that inside. We don't want to be mistaken as criminals."
"No," the person responded, "We'll have to find some way in without them suspecting us. But we need to get Sakura."
Now who could Sakura be? Kid wondered.
The two sat there, tossing out and rejecting ideas that came to surface. Eventually, Kid found out that the person's name was Tsubasa. Maybe he wasn't actually the artwork, but someone trapped inside it? But then the "Fortune's Companion" wouldn't have disappeared if it was.
Well, if this is a two piece set, Kid thought, then if the "Fortune's Companion" is Tsubasa, it would make sense that the "Deceiver's Fortune" is Sakura and they're looking for her, right? He shook his head. This was probably all nonsense.
At least, that's what he thought until he heard Tsubasa say, "Dark came here, too, right? Then maybe, if Sakura is in her art form, as the 'Deceiver's Fortune', maybe he could steal her out of there." Well, that confirmed his theory that he originally thought of as nonsense.
"Yes, but how would we get in contact with Dark?" the first grader asked.
Now they were talking about that other phantom thief that challenged Kid for the "Deceiver's Fortune". If that black kaito was here now, what exactly happened after Kid flew from the rooftop to escape Conan? Apparently the kaito came here somehow.
"Hey, Tsubasa," the small detective said, "what is this world called, anyway?"
Ah, so they were in another world . . . How exactly they get to another world?!
"Can't you guess?" Tsubasa replied. "It's Hikari."
"Oh, well it definitely makes sense."
"Why do you ask?"
"Oh, nothing much. Just wondering if we could threaten their world or something."
Tsubasa started at him. "What are you thinking?!" he said, shaking his head.
"I don't know," Conan said, yawning. "I'm probably thinking this way because I'm tired."
Kid also shook his head. It seemed as if the two wanted to get an artwork from inside that palace and didn't know how. Kid smiled to himself; he always enjoyed a good heist. Too bad he wouldn't be able to keep it this time, though. He quickly wrote down on one of those cards that he always kept with him. He threw it out toward Tsubasa and Edogawa-kun.
Conan and Tsubasa were in the midst of figuring out how to get Sakura back when a card floated down in front of them. Conan looked up, not seeing where it came from. He picked the card up and saw the familiar writing and drawing on it.
"Eh?! What's Kaito Kid doing here?!" he exclaimed.
"What?" Tsubasa, who was absent-mindlessly picking grass while brainstorming ideas to get Sakura, looked up at Conan in surprise.
Conan read from the card. "When the moon reaches its zenith tomorrow, I shall help you obtain the double-sided masterpiece from the oversized house of a king. Kid the Phantom Thief."
Okay, so I'm going to write two chapters on sunday. See you then! Sayonara for now!
