Baby Steps
Contrary to popular belief, it took a lot of work to be Kid. Kaito, though he would have the world believe otherwise, didn't just fall into the role. In the time after that first appearance as Kid, Kaito would be sure that luck had been on that side his night. He had no idea, later on, how he'd managed not to totally flub that up. It was a fluke, but a glorious fluke.

Swish! Flip. "Damn it! Come back here hat!"
Snatch.
"Okay, let's try that again." Back flip, and... The hat went rolling across the floor again before he'd done more than bend backwards. Kaito glared at it, retrieved the offending top hat, and perched it jauntily back on his head. How had his dad managed to keep the damn thing on?!
–
Twirl. Rustle. THUMP.
"Kaito? Are you okay up there?"
"Yeah, I'm fine Mom! I just, uh... tripped over my own feet!"
It wasn't that much of a lie, Kaito thought as he stared petulantly at the cape wrapped around his ankles.
–
He'd conquered the cape, topped the top hat, and now... he just had to master the monocle. He took to wearing it as much as possible to make sure he could keep it on under any situation. Luckily, his mother decided to go out for a day, and he had the house to himself.
It seemed to be going swimmingly until that night when he took it off. "OW! Oh god! My eye brow is cramping!"
"Kaito...?"
A whimper drifted listlessly down to the first floor, and Nyoko smiled in amusement, shook her head, and went back to preparing the evening meal.
