XXIX: Kudou and Kuroba


Heiji in Kaito's body was frog marched into the cafeteria by a curious and confused Shinichi. "So?" the homicide detective verbally prodded.

The Division Three officer glanced at his companion. "So what?" he answered in Heiji's Osakan clip.

"How are you doing it?" Shinichi asked.

Heiji sent Shinichi a long look. "I'm not doing anything, ahou," he said testily.

Shinichi rolled his eyes. "I know you're imitating Hattori, Kuroba. You can drop the act."

The Osakan-yet-not refrained from growling. "Kudou," he snapped, "if I was Kuroba, do you think I'd know about—" He whispered the rest of the sentence in Shinichi's ear, and the Beika native flushed a cherry red as he hastily backpedaled.

"H—how do you know that?!" Shinichi yelped.

Heiji sighed. "Does this prove that I'm not Kuroba now?"

Shinichi nodded emphatically. "But how are you doing this?"

The Osaka native grinned. "I was explicitly told not to divulge the secret behind the trick."

The pair met up with Saguru and Heiji in the cafeteria. Kaito, who was in Heiji's body, glanced at the two of them and asked to the world at large, "Anyone got marshmallows we can blacken on Kudou's face?"


Author's Note: Back from vacation! In case you haven't figured it out, yes, this is the prank. Honestly, I'm not sure how Kaito's pulling this off myself, but… whatever. I'm sure I'll think of some brilliant method he used to pull it off. As for what was told to Shinichi—I'll leave that to your imagination. Chapter naming conventions for the prank ones are expected to be misleading… that should be somewhat self-explanatory. I hope you enjoyed it.
