Fragile Dreams XD – Thank you, yes I don't think anyone likes Sholaer (Not even me, and I made the guy up 83). Here's an update!
YouthfulLily – 83 love reading your reviews, and D8, my chapters don't exits! XD
Heiji + Kaito: *Both look in creepily from the window* Juria-chan~
tess4aria – Oh yes, feathers will fly. And again yes, I like the idea of Takagi knowing about Conan, I really hope he finds out in the cannon at some point…
Firepaw – Thank you, happy to know your liking my story 83 and yes, poor confused little Aso…
shanagi95 – Sorry for any confusion ^^;
Aso thinks that Kaitou KID is a Vampire, and that the helper who is know to be with him at some heists it the 'treacherous human'. Yes, Sholaer has been stalking Shinichi to try and get a chance to get rid of him so he found out about Conan but Shinichi doesn't know that Sholaer has found out.
~~~~* I'm so sorry! I swear I had this ready last night but for some reason FF wouldnt let me sign in *~~~~
Chapter 38
Kaito looked down from his position stood on top a tall office building at the house below him. It was quite a large house, larger than Shinichis. The owner was said to have come from a wealthy family and he kept his fortune afloat by investing his money in other business.
Kaito looked up to the sky, the full moon was shining down basking the streets in its ghostly white glow. A person landed on the roof behind him and Kaito glanced behind him. There was Shinichi, returned to his true age for the night.
Kaito grinned his KID grin "Nice to see you made it Tantei-kun,"
Shinichi rolled his eyes and walked over to Kaito, both stood at the edge of the building "Are you sure about this Kai?"
Kaito nodded "I'm not letting it slip out of my grasp."
Shinichi nodded in return "Ok, I'll go down and work with the taskforce. At least this way I'll make sure that that hunter doesn't hurt you,"
Kaito watched as Shinichi fell from the roof and his massive wings unfurled around him, lifting him into the sky. Kaito watched longingly as the strong beating pulled Shinichi through the freedom of the sky, then sat down and began to wait for the appointed time.
Nakamori growled to himself in frustration, this heist could make the list of 'Most Annoying Targeted Owners' easily. Heck, only that old nut Jirokichi was this bad!
Said owner, Aso Morokore, was currently glaring holes in the back of the heads of a group of his taskforce, and Nakamori did not like people mistreating his taskforce. Sure he yelled at them a lot but he respected every member.
Hakuba glanced up from next to him "He does seem remarkably hostile, doesn't he inspector?"
Nakamori grunted "He's probably just thinking that any of them may be KID,"
"True, but lest not pretend we can't see that violent look in his eyes, I think we'd be best to keep an eye on him."
Behind the two talking figures, Shinichi was watching from where he was leaning on the wall. After the 'Face Check", the taskforce was more than glad to admit the great Shinichi Kudo to help them with the capture of KID, but he had spent near the whole time just standing there silently observing.
More than once, Shinichis eyes wandered over to Aso and he had to force down a small growl each time,
'If he even touches Kaito….'
"Kudo!"
Shinichi looked up sharply at Hakuba, as if he had startled him. He then relaxed seeing who it was "Oh, what do you want Hakuba?"
Hakuba frowned "What's wrong with you, you look like your expecting someone to jump out at you any second?"
Shinichi chuckled coldly "Well, that's not too far from the truth,"
Hakuba stared after him as he walked off. He wandered over to the room where the target was, Aso having banned Nakamori from entering claiming to have his own 'Anti Theft' device, and Nakamori had no choice to comply lest he wanted to be thrown out of the house altogether, damn legal technicalities.
Shinichi glanced up and down the corridor, then out of the window. The window was looking out over an empty yard, and the corridor was completely abandoned. Seeing that the coast was clear, he leaned out of the window and grabbed hold of the ledge. He swung his arm out to an opposite ledge, his sharp nails digging into the wood and he pulled himself up. Shinichi peered into the room, all around the edges where paintings and mounted weapons, mostly crossbows and some swords.
He sat down on the ledge, settling down to wait for the main thief to arrive.
Aso looked around at the men, looking for any signs of the Vampire KID. He almost jumped but managed to not show it when someone whispered into his ear,
"The raven is almost in the room, he is just waiting for the traitor then they will take your jewel and life."
Aso nodded, and then quietly slipped out of the room with the disguised harpy, unnoticed by the taskforce. He walked after Sholaer, picking up a crossbow from a hidden compartment as he passed a chest of draws.
He positioned himself outside of a hidden door that lead to the trophy room where the gem was, looking at a small bulb that was connected to a hidden wire on all the windows. As soon as something passed through them he would know.
Behind him, Sholaer ginned evilly 'I hope you are enjoying the last full moon you will ever see, Shinichi Kudo,'
Shinichi shuffled up on the large window sill as Kaito pulled up on his glider and landed neatly next to him in a crouch, smirking at him "Miss me?"
Shinichi just rolled his eyes and pointed silently at the lock, which Kaito leaned over to and quickly picked.
The small click of the lock seemed to echo in the tense silence and Kaito looked up to Shinichi "You ready?"
Shinichi looked at Kaito, again the feeling of fear built up in him and he gazed into those eyes, as if afraid he would never see their light again. Then he shut hi eyes tight 'No, Kaito's been after tis for years. I ave to let him do this, for him and his father,'
"Shinichi?"
Shinichi leaned forwards and kissed Kaito deeply, then pulled back and looked softly at him "…Yes, let's go."
Kaito paused for a moment, as if dazed, and then he reached out and pushed on the window.
The window slowly swung inwards on silent hinges, inventing them into the den of the hunter. Slowly and cautiously Shinichi and Kaito leaned into the room, looking around at the many treasures it held. Kaito moved into the room, his cape falling lightly around him. He stood up as Shinichi slipped in silently behind him and looked around. Soon his eyes fell on what they where here for, a large red stone on the end of a golden chain was hanging off a hanging on the wall. Kaito slowly walked up to it with his hand outstretched, the golden plaque shining in the moons light,
The Ravens Soul
Behind them, a door creaked open and the two of them spun around to face it. In the doorway, there stood Aso, his crossbow up by his eye darting between Kaito and Shinichi
"Don't either of you move!" He shouted to the two of them, a familiar figure slipping in behind him.
Shinichi glared, "Sholaer," He spat out "What do you think you're doing!"
Sholaer smirked "I am ridding the skies of a parasite," He said, an infuriating grin on his face.
Kaito held up his gloved hands, no one noticing the now empty hanging spot "Calm down Aso," He said calmingly, "We don't want to hurt you.."
"Heh, that's what you want me to think!" He spat out "Once I'm gone, all you Vampires will spread out all over Japan, you'll all…"
"What 'all' you idiot!" Shinichi yelled, furious "Thanks to you hunters, I'm the only one left!"
Aso's eyes widened as he looked to Shinichi, he seemed confused "B-but then, who's been attacking people? All the signs point to vampires…"
Shinichi turned to Sholaer "How about someone who leads the anti-human march, who wants to create a war where we would be forced to fight and kill or enslave the humans that we should live along side. Someone like you Sholaer!"
Sholaer scoffed "Nonsense, kill him now Hunter, isn't it what you do?" Aso hands holding the bow shook, Sholaer glared "What's wrong? Fire!"
Kaito grinned "You see, we're not as weak as you thought," He muttered as Aso seemed to begin to back away,
Sholaer growled, then with his taloned hands he pulled the crossbow from Aso's hands, tearing the flesh and making him fall to the ground crying in pain. Sholaer spun the bow to Shinichi "Then I shall have to do it myself!"
Sholaer pulled on the trigger and the arrow shot forwards, to quick for Shinichi to move,
There was a sickening noise as something sharp pierced flesh, and a strangled gasp as the arrow buried itself in flesh. There was a dull thump as Kaito fell down mid jump and lay there, his breathing shallow, a huge arrow sticking from his side where it was deeply buried as an alarming amount of blood seeped into his until then white suit, clearly too much to live through.
Shinichi looked down and growled primitively. He looked up at Sholaer, his eyes filled with pure anger. He lunged forwards, an inhuman screech of pure rage tearing from his mouth.
