Chapter 37

Conan snapped his phone shut and looked up at the police station. Him, Heiji and Kaito had all been called to the Beika central police station where the transferred hunter was being held so they could give their statements. Well, Kaito was mainly asked for his statement, as far as the police knew Conan was only there when the body first fell.

He looked up at Kaito and sighed "That was Hattori, he said that he can't make it down so we'll just have to do for today and he'll come down as soon as he can."
Kaito grinned suggestively "Well then, looks like its just you and me Shin-chan~"
"Yeah, because making out with a 7 year old kid in Beika central police station is a good idea." Conan deadpanned

Kaito chuckled then looked up at the building "So who exactly is it you said would help us?"
"A halfer, basically a person from a normal human family who somehow has magic abilities. Due to not coming from a Supernatural family most don't learn about Gatherings so they pretty much live separate from Supernaturals. Robur's known about this person and I've met them a few times but I've never revealed myself to them before."

Kaito nodded and the pair of them walked into the station and Conan lead Kaito to a desk where a woman was sorting through some papers.
She looked down at Conan and smiled sweetly "Yes little boy, how can I help you?"
"Me and Niisan where meant to speak to an officer about a bad man who was caught!" Conan chirped, Kaito only just able to stop his smirk from falling out on his face.
"Alright, would you two like to follow me please,"

The woman walked out from behind the counter and Conan and Kaito followed her through the police station, leading them through doors and stairs until she stopped outside a door
"The officers are just in here, just nock and go in," She said smiling before walking off to return to whatever work she was doing before.

Kaito looked down at Conan, then raised his hand and knocked firmly on the door,
"Come in!"

Hearing the voice, Kaito pushed down on the door and walked in, Conan following close behind. Conan looked up at the few officers in the room. Shiratori looked up quickly from his work at his desk, fixing them with that intense seeing look. Tagaki was sat at his desk wearing a pair of white gloves as he examined a piece of evidence from the case before slipping it back in the bag. Over at the back Sato was pouring out drinks and Megure was looking over at them from his desk, surrounded by papers.
Conan smirked to himself 'Good, they're here,'

Megure beamed at Kaito before walking over and placing one hand on his shoulder "Kudo-kun! It's great to see you again I've missed your help with our cases."
Conan chuckled as Kaito looked at Megure confused.
Shiratori cleared his throat "Actually Keibu, I believe that that is Kaito Kuroba-kun." Megure glanced back at Shiratori, who picked up a file from the desk and read from it,

"Kaito Kuroba, age 17. He was there with Heiji Hattori during the deductions and the one who lead officer Otaki to the suspect."
Kaito laughed nervously as Megure quickly removed his hands "Kaito Kuroba, high school student and magician extraordinaire," He bowed deeply and showmanship like "At you're service!"

Conan rolled his eyes and elbowed Kaito in the knee, making him wobble slightly. Megure looked down "Oh Conan-kun, you're here to?"
Conan nodded "Yeah, Heiji-niichan said he couldn't come so he sent me to keep an eye on Kaito-niichan!"
Megure chukled and Kaito glared lightly down at Conan.

Megure turned over his shoulder "Would one of you mind taking these two down to get their statements? I've still got work to do…"
Tagaki stood up "I'll do it Keibu, I've got to put this away down there anyway."
Megure nodded and Tagaki walked over to the door, the evidence bag held tightly in his still gloved hands. He held the door open for Kaito and Conan, then closed it behind them and led them down the corridor.

Eventually they came to a room with a large table in the middle and a couple of filling cabinets in the back corner.
Tagaki closed the door behind them "Just take a seat please, I'll just file these away then we can get started."

Kaito and Conan sat down as Tagaki walked over to the cabinets and pulled open a draw and slipped the plastic bag neatly into place.
Conan leaned back in the chair, his small hand fingering his charm, as Tagaki sat down opposite him pulling out a pen and paper
"Right," Tagaki began "So Kuroba-san, when did…"

"There are more pressing matters this second, Tagaki-san,"
Tagaki and Kaito looked in surprise at Conan, who wasn't making the slightest effort to act his 'apparent' age "C-Conan-kun?"
Conan smirked "I see you still haven't taken your gloves off,"

Tagaki looked down at them, then slowly pulled them off "I-I just forgot,"
Conan tilted his head "Oh, sorry then. By the way, do you shake hands?" Again, Tagaki froze up "Its just I heard it's polite to shake hands when you first meet people, and this is your first time meeting Kaito,"

Tagaki seemed to worry slightly, rubbing his thumb over his curled up fingers. Conan smiled softly "Its ok, I far from mind. Actually, your more human than me,"
His eyes widened "H-How do you know?"

Conan slipped his charm off, his ears visible along with his fangs when he smiled, which he was now "We like to know things,"
Conan held out his small hand, indicting with his eyes to it. Slowly, as if afraid, Tagaki reached out to it. At first he lightly bushed his fingers over Conans, frowning for some reason, but he then took Conans small hand in his and held on to it. He breathed in sharply, and didn't let go for a short while, Kaito sat watching in confused silence.

Eventually Tagakis hold on Conans hand dropped and the officer fell back in his chair, breathing heavily. Conan replaced his charm back on his neck, masking his features from Tagakis eyes.
"Y-You're Shinichi Kudo?" Tagaki breathed out, clearly disbelieving something.

Kaito looked to Conan in confusion "How did he…"
Conan chuckled "Tagaki here can read peoples true emotions and thoughts with a touch, the stronger the touch the stronger the reading. I believe that it's commonly referred to as being an Empath."

Kaito looked up at Tagaki who was looking to the side slightly, as if ashamed "it's been with me all my life, but people found me odd when I said it so I just sorta ignored it and tried to make sure no one knew."
"Being a Supernatural, even just a part one, isn't shameful," Conan said, trying to calm him "Maybe I can show you to our Gathering Spot one day, I'm positive the rest will welcome you,"

Returning to the task at hand Conan grew serious again "Tagaki, I assume you saw what we need?"
Tagaki nodded, "Yes, I'll see what I can do. I think I might be able to be in there for a few minutes,"
Tagaki quickly left the room, Kaito looking after him in confusion. Kaito looked down to Conan "Where's he going?"

Conan settled down in his chair, relaxing slightly "He's going to try and see the culprit's memories to find out where the main Hunter lives. He'd be too hard to find without gaining attention but Tagaki may be able to find out without even letting the man know he's told him,"
Kaito raised his eyebrows "And he knew all that just from a touch?"
Conan turned slightly red "Well, I think he may have seen most of my recent memoires, like at Mermaids Lagoon…"
Conan trailed off and Kaito grinned, oh the thoughts poor Tagaki would have later when he had some time to think~

Some time later Tagaki re-entered the room with a piece of paper "I got it, this is the guys address. We've also got him on file, he's a violent person but he's hidden his actions too well for us to officially say he was the one who did it."
Kaito nodded and took the offered paper, looking at the address "Thank you, Tagaki,"
Tagaki nodded in return then sat down "I suppose we better fill this out or the others will get curios…"

Some time passed, Conan and Kaito spending it planning in detail.

Kaito was sat in the Kudo mansions library with papers all set out in front of him covered with floor plans, layouts random information and other things.
Conan looked up at him from his seat in his lap "Are you sure about this Kai?"
"Yeah," Kaito nodded in determination "Since the taskforce is there he they will still be limited to shooting from the dark as usual."

Conan looked out from the huge window; the almost full moon was shining down on them. Kaito pulled Conan close snuggling him "I'll be fine Shinichi, really," He said, trying to ease the worry he could see in Conans eyes "I've got through all my other heists fine, they wont know that this is probably the real thing,"
"But your going up against a hunter Kaito. He won't take too kindly to you stealing a prized family heirloom."

Kaito laughed slightly, "Well then, it a good thing he doesn't think I'm a vampire then, he'll just treat me as another thief. Besides again, the taskforce it there, they won't let anyone else kill me before they catch me."
"Neither will I," Conan moved up in Kaito's lap to kiss him lightly. Kaito smiled and hugged him tightly
"I wont, I wouldn't want to leave you Shin-chan,"

"And your sure that this is them?"
"Quite positive, I have been stalking him for some time and I know they plan to rob you of your stone and life in a few days, the same day as this."

The man looked down at the newspaper, Sholaer watching from behind 'Keh, humans. So violent and easy to manipulate. And that idiot Kudo thinks we can live with them as equals!'

Printed on the front page was the latest Kaitou KID heist warning,

On April 18 beneath the full moon glow, I shall relieve Aso Morokore of his families blood red ruby,
Kaitou KID

Aso smirked evilly at the paper before him, 'So, this KID is actually a Vampire. Well then, just try and take my life Vampire. I'll end yours and the traitor human who aids you!'

Uh oh, looks like Aso's gotten a little mixed up.
