It was quiet, a small amount of classical background music and the whisper of pages being turned were the only sounds that broke the otherwise peaceful silence. A young man shifted positions as he read the spines of the books on the shelves, his hands resting in his black hoodie's front pocket lazily. The hood was pulled up so it completely covered his face but his body posture was calm and relaxed. A pale hand pulled out of the pocket and plucked up a book before flicking it open to the first page.

"Why did I let you drag me in here again?" a loud female voice broke the silence making the boy in black tense.

"Sonoko! Be quiet!" Another girl whispered sounding more than a little desperate. The boy's head turned slightly, letting a small portion of their face to show, towards the girl's voices.

"Oops…" The first girl, Sonoko, mumbled.

"You let me drag you here because I promised to go dress shopping with you after." The other girl explained.

"Oh yeah… Why did you want to come here?" Sonoko asked in a whisper.

"I found out about a new manga I wanted to read."

"Couldn't you just read it online?"

"My laptop is bugged again."

"You have to start hiding that thing, Ran. Your dad keeps guessing your password." Sonoko laughed.

"I could just call mom. I'm sure she'd love to know what sites my dad has been visiting on my computer." Ran muttered angrily. The boy's mouth twitched into a smile before he turned back to the book in his hand. Suddenly he tensed, almost like a Rottweiler that has sensed something bad, before he twisted around to gaze at the shelf behind him. Merely seconds after he moved the back wall of the store exploded inward, shooting pieces of wood and rock into the store.

The boy cursed when he heard two shrieks of pain and sprinted down to the end of the shelf, swinging around the side into the other aisle. The scene that met him was the two girls on the ground from where they had fallen, blood streaking down their arms, and a young man in a white hoodie standing over them, his arms stretched outward toward the dust cloud that was once the back wall. As the man in black drew closer he caught sight of an unnatural shimmer that glittered between the man in white and the slowly settling particles.

"Kaito!" the man in black called, skidding to a stop next to the man in white before crouching next to the girls. His hood fell at the sudden movement revealing neat, dark brown hair with only a small cowlick at the crown of his head.

"Hey Shin-chan! You're late!~" Kaito sang happily, looking over his shoulder at the kneeling boy. The boy rolled his eyes and helped the girls sit up.

"Be serious." He growled causing the man's grin to widen dramatically.

"W-what's going on?" One of the girls mumbled, bringing her hand up to clutch at her head.

"I'm going to have to ask you to help your friend get out of the building." The boy said quickly, glancing back at the spot where the cloud had once been. The girl frowned in confusion when his eyes widened and let her gaze slide over to the settling dust before freezing stiff.

"Wh-what is-?" she was cut off by the boy abruptly.

"Kaito! Move!" the boy next to her yelled cuing the man in white to skip backward, just barely dodging an oddly shaped claw that struck at him. Kaito's hood also fell to reveal his own messy brown hair which was only slightly lighter than Shinichi's.

"Wha-what the?" The girl yelped, backing up against one of the bookshelves that had fallen when the… thing had broken through the store's wall.

"Shinichi! What's its info?" Kaito yelled as he ducked to dodge another swing from the grotesque beast.

"Hold on a second!" Shinichi actually sounded annoyed before he shut his eyes. When he opened them they had changed in color, their previous deep blue lightening to a clear icy blue. He gazed at the monster, his stare piercing. When he opened his mouth his voice was emotionless and ever so slightly robotic.

"Affinity: dark. Specialty: poison. Best against close-ranged metal type. Weak against long-ranged plant type."

"Right!" Kaito grinned sharply before leaping up to grab the edge of one of the few bookshelves that had remained standing. He lifted himself up in one smooth movement before settling into a crouched defensive position. He placed one had by his hip as if he was going to draw out a weapon. As he pulled his hand away a gleaming steel gun materialized, its barrel oddly shaped.

The beast immediately changed targets as soon as it determined that the biggest threat had moved far enough away. As it started to move towards the group on the ground Kaito lifted the gun to aim. Shinichi blinked away the color change, returning his irises to their normal blue, and moved to stand protectively in front of the two girls.

"I don't think so." Kaito smirked and fired. There was a streak of bright green that almost seemed to twist in the air before wrapping around the attacking monster. Soon the beast was completely wrapped in the wriggling ivy. The creature screamed in pain as the plant tightened before shattering into pieces that vanished before they hit the ground.

The sound of the monster's final scream rang in the silence that was left after its vanishing. Kaito sighed in relief and leaned back, letting his legs hang over the edge. Shinichi dropped his shoulders and turned to look at the pale girl behind him.

"It would be much appreciated if you would stay silent about this little incident, Ms…" He trailed off expectantly.

"S-S-Sonoko." She stuttered.

"Sonoko-san." He smiled encouragingly before scowling up at Kaito. "Get down you barou. We need this cleaned up."

"Fine." Kaito sighed before dropping to the floor. He twisted around to survey the damage, whistling lowly at the mess. "Jeez. The weaker one's just love to destroy, ne?"

"Just clean it up." Shinichi rolled his eyes.

"Aye, aye." Kaito grinned. He twirled a wrist to make the gun disappear before bowing to the rubble. Once he straightened he held up one hand before bringing it down. There was a small popping noise before the room filled with pink smoke. Seconds later it dissipated and Sonoko let out a shocked gasp. There was no sign that anything out of the ordinary had even happened, even the small cuts that littered the other girl's arms were gone as well as her own. She looked up and blinked when she saw Kaito wrapped around Shinichi in a rather intimate hug.

"There. All gone. Can I have a reward now?" Kaito asked as he tightened his arms around Shinichi's waist, his chest pressed against the other boy's back.

"…" Shinichi sighed before turning slightly to place a passionate but chaste kiss on Kaito's lips. "There. Now come on. If there was one there's bound to be more in the area."

"Ok." Kaito's smile was dazed as he let his partner, in more ways than one, lead him out of the store.

Sonoko stared after them blankly, not even registering when Ran started to awaken next to her. The confused brunette looked around before shaking the other girl's shoulder.

"Sonoko? What happened?" she sounded concerned but let out a small sigh of relief when the other girl started and turned to face her.

"…" Sonoko blinked slowly. "Ran, when did we become part of some weird fanfiction?"

Ran stared at her. "Are you feeling ok?"

Sonoko blinked again before looking back at the door. "… I don't know."

-A loser is a window washer on the 44th floor who stepps back to admire his work.-

… OMG! I like this one! Shinichi and Kaito as partners taking on the baddies with their special powers. Shinichi has the power of sight, he can see through illusions, can classify enemies, and can't be tricked by lies or false faces and masks. He may also have the power to change his age (from Shinichi to Conan and back) and is excellent at close range combat. He can also sense auras and danger. X3

Kaito has the power of conjuring, he can make anything as long as he know how it works, he can through up barriers and can make weapons to use to fight against the beasts that the BO creates. He has a way with technology and can hack into any computer. He is good at any range though he prefers long range.

Poison: How the hell did you get this from 'Fanfiction'?

Fanfiction is always inspirational! … Although a picture of Kaito and Shinichi in hoodies might have helped…

Hua: I love it! So Kaito and Shinichi are a couple?

Yup! Partners in more ways than one!

Hoshi: Do you think Sonoko-chan will suppress the memory?

… Most likely… *laughs*

Sketchy: Eh, she'll be fine. So how far is the Forever'verse chapter two?

Ummm…. No hablo ingles?

All: *deadpan*

All: … We'll get her to update soon.
