CHAPTER 35: Locked up with Kaitou Kid.

"How did it end up this way?" Suzume said as she sat on the cold floor against the wall.

"It's not that bad," Kid said, looking at the walls all around them, "at least we're in here together."

"That's what makes this bad…" Suzume said, feeling her hand get tugged again. "To make things worse, we're handcuffed together…"

The two didn't really remember how they ended up like that. They just know that they got handcuffed together by Inspector Nakamori. On top of that, Suzume almost got crushed by a door and was saved by Kaitou Kid. But in the process they were locked in a room together.

It seems the Inspector had the idea of handcuffing the two together, just so Kid would slow down in his escape, but that plan didn't seem to work since he was willing to kidnap her. So the Inspector used his second plan, locking Kid up in the room with the jewel, not so bright either. But it seemed to work, but Suzume almost got crushed in the process. Kid ended up saving her by pulling her inside the room, which she was glad to be alive, but not glad to be locked in with him.

So now, Suzume sat on the floor, while Kid tried figuring out a plan for them. The entrance wasn't an option since it seemed to be tightly shut. The window were out of the loop since the two couldn't reach them due to how tall the room was. There was definatly no way out of this one.

Suzume's wrist was starting to hurt since the cuffs were on so tight for her. Suzume grabbed the chain and pulled Kid down to the ground. "Sit down!" she said.

Kid sat on the ground, terrified by the look she gave him.

Suzume reached in her pocket and pulled out a pocket knife. She then began picking the lock.

"You might as well give up," Suzume said to Kid. "There's no way out of this room… Unless you can jump super high or are super strong that you can lift up a twenty thousand iron wall…"

"Well," Kid said, "at some point Inspector Nakamori will have to get us out of here…"

"How do you know?" Suzume said, getting the cuffs off of them.

Kid smiled brightly. "I don't."

Suzume rolled her eyes and rested back against the wall, looking at the four walls that surrounded them.

"I'm surprised you're not freaking out at this point, Detective," Kid said crossing his legs (Indian style) as he sat there on the ground. He hands on his ankles, keeping up his posture.

Suzume chuckled. "I've been in worse situations…" she said quietly. "Although, I've never been locked up with someone I hate."

Kid smiled. "Care to explain?"

Suzume glanced at him. She then looked at her feet that were straight in front of her. "When I was in Middle School," she said, not looking to happy, "I was locked in the Supply Shed for three days. It was a Friday, and I was just putting back a few of the mates that we used in the Karate Club that day. I wasn't paying attention and someone pushed me inside. They then locked the door and left. Saturday and Sunday passed, no one had found me yet. Then Monday came and the teachers just thought I was absent, until P.E. started. The P.E. teacher found me in there when she was getting the volleyballs. After that, I never really talked to anyone…"

Kid was silent, he finally understood why she was so harsh to people. He understood she never trusted people again after that.

Suzume looked at Kid, wondering why he was so silent. She then saw the straight face he had as the moon reflected in his blue eyes. She didn't even notice he was coming closer to her, until he was an inch from kissing her. She held up a finger and put it to his lips. "What are you doing?" she said bitterly.

Kid smiled seductively. "Going to kiss you to make you feel better."

"Don't even think about it," Suzume said, pushing him away. "If you even try kissing me again, I will break your arm or anything else I see fit to break." Suzume then smiled brightly.

Kid back off and went back to his previous position. He was very creped out by her smile. "So," he said, loosing his tie a bit and taking off his hat, "you were bullied when you were younger?"

Suzume nodded. "Every one usually hated me," she said. "They teased me, saying how I always carried around my locket and how I was always daydreaming about a prince that would never come… At one point I was so annoyed by the situation I walked out in the middle of traffic without knowing it…. Wait, why am I telling you this?"

Kid shrugged. "Just need to express yourself I guess?" he said with a bright smile. "Might as well just talk to pass the time."

Suzume rolled her eyes and looked at her watch. One o'clock and yet no one had come to get them.

"I hate you…" Suzume said.

Kid smiled and said, "And I love you, Suzu-chi!"

Suzume pinched his cheek and pulled. "Don't call me that!" she shouted.

"Alright!" Kid said, removing her hand. "Just continue with what you were saying, please."

Suzume was surprised that he would even say please instead of using a sly move to get her to finish. Suzume sighed and put her hands back in her lap. "After walking out into traffic," she said, "I was hit by a car. Of course I lived, 'cause I wouldn't be here if I didn't. Although, it was a close call…"

Kid was about to say something, when the door began opening. Both jumped to their feet at the sight of Nakamori. "Kid!" he shouted.

"Oh," Kid said, putting a hand in his pocket, "looks like it's time to leave." Kid looked at Suzume. He put a hand behind her head and pulled her forward, embracing her in a passionate kiss. When he pulled away he said, "Until next time, Princess. And hopefully, next time we can have more time for just the two of us." Kid then ran out the door, with the copes running after him. He was so happy he was able to steal another kiss from her.

Suzume stood there, really wanting to kill Kid at the moment. But she shrugged it off, knowing she couldn't do much now. She then walked out the door and saw Heiji waiting in the hall.

"Where's Kudo?" Suzume said, walking up to him.

"Going to corner Kid on the roof…" Heiji said. "We should get going…"

Heiji then began walking away without another word. Suzume walked behind him, looking at the ground. This time I know he's angry at me… she thought.

"Suzume?" Heiji said, stopping and turning to face her.

"Yes?" Suzume said, jumping out of her thoughts.

"Would you…" he said, his face going a little red. "Would you…mind…if we just…talked after this? Mostly about the things you were talking about in there…"

Suzume blinked a few times. "You heard?"

Heiji nodded as he rubbed the back of his head. "I heard through your phone…"

That explains it… Suzume thought.

"So…um…can we?" Heiji said, looking up from the ground.

Suzume smiled happily. "Sure thing," she said. "But maybe once this whole matter with Kaitou Kid is settled."

Heiji smiled at Suzume and she smiled back. The two then walked together down the hall, listening to Nakamori curse at Kid as they ran down the opposite way.
