It had been a couple of weeks since the whole show down went down and his life was back to normal, he was going to college back to his normal routine as if nothing had happened. His life was truly back to normal back to his normal dull routine like nothing had happened and it had just felt that way as everything had faded and was going so slow and fast at the same time.
He was told by a man called Shuichi Akai to go about his day back to his normal life has if nothing had happened and they would eventually get in contact with him.
Then man was well mannered but frightening at the same time, very much like his Shin-Chan but difference was he could tell just looking in this man's eyes that he had killed before and that he would do it again.
If it had been any other person in the world, he would have not listened to a word that the person had to say and he would have just ignored them and sprayed them unconscious but this was different and for on person was the man that Shinichi trusted more than anyone in the world and would put her complete trust in as she had done it and before and would do again.
She had told him very little about him very little indeed but if he was ever to meet him that he should trust him completely with everything and she meant everything because he did know everything. And eh had a feeling that he had actually known a lot more than he did because that look he was given was a look that he had seen on so many detectives faces before he had discovered something and was not going to share it with him and maybe the others, just yet.
So he would have to put his faith in a guy that he did not know a single thing about and had not officially met him face to face because it was a monocle to eye.
Plus Shin-Chan told him if he got a death glare from him then he would be in big trouble and he had a feeling that she was right because he wanted to run for the hills the moment he had met him.
Well, he had pretty good reason for hating him so much, and that was a terrifying reason that he did not want to think of because every time he would blush from embarrassment and most of all shame.
And it was painful as well because he a flying kick right to the face, right in his cheek and in his eye with a bare foot with a jagged toenail that scratched the hell out of the contact that he was wearing.
"You Jackass! How dare you knock me out with a stun gun ?! "
He remembered that painfully and even still to this day had nightmares about that day he had pissed off another scary female Detective and created a new enemy. And female Detectives were always the scariest of all Detectives to have especially the ones that had good reasons to be pissed off with him.
He had shamefully stripped a girl of her clothes and left her sitting in her underwear in the boys bathroom where anything could have happened to her in there.
He had even a taser on her, and he swore he would never use a taser on a girl (excluding the one exception) but he accidentally did not knowing that she was a girl. And he had paid for it in full with a lot of pain and was really lucky to escape in a puff of smoke and out of the window just in the nick of time.
He knew he should have learned his lesson the last time he had used that same taser on someone because he ended up being hit with a soccer ball and had to run through the woods for miles and hours because of that. But he had stupidly had not and even had used the same taser on her again and paid for it in even more pain with the scars to match.
Both these girls Akai Shuichi loved, one was his sister and he could see that he considered Shinichi to be family because a lot of people did and she was one of the few people in the world that would get the guy. And he was not one of them because of out all Detectives he was definitely one of the complicated ones, just like his Shin-Chan and he barely got her.
So with the help of Jii he and a hell a lot of digging mostly of Jii because he hated doing research because it was just so boring and he had a short attention span when it came to it because he got bored and was what he got all the time the only two things that did not happen with was with his magic and Shin-Chan but the two could be considered one in the same.
He did got some heavy research for two days straight and turned out this guy was supposed to be dead. The case was closed as a car crash but he looked at it and it was closed but not solved because it was a cold case with no clues and barely even a body to go with the metalled scrap heap with went with it.
The case was a suspicious homicide, but he could see the pressure that was put down on the police for it to be closed and seen as nothing more as an accident. He had a feeling that this was the help of his Shin-Chan because she had help fake a death before and had roped him into it as he was almost fired in the process. And was the first time that he had become suspicious of Edowaga Shirley and her little activities and was also one of the few times he actually got to see sleeping Kogoro up close and personal.
It was the funniest thing he had ever seen and would have laughed if not for being a murder case. Him dancing about and the noises he made was hilarious each time and every time he woke up as well. The same goes with the Suzuki girl expect she seemed less to a fool and it was hard to say which one liked bragging more about solving the cases in their sleep.
Idiots both of them. Both had no idea that they were actually being used as ventriloquist dummies for the little child to speak for them. The big one is actually the dummy that needs someone to speak for them, so the little one is doing in the voices, it is too funny to think about. Although you could also say that his Shin-Chan needed them to speak for her because no one would listen to what a little child would say and was why she did it in the first place.
Oh what he would do to see a show like that one more time because it was a classic and you never get fed up of the classics and Shinichi was quite the entertainer just as much as he was. She knew how to get every eye on her and get her audience to pay attention to every detail as they listened to every word and paid attention to every detail waiting for the big surprise to come as they hung on every word just waiting. Capturing the emotions in the air and making people shocked to the core were always the hard part and even more making them silent in shock so that they could not say a word. That was where she would start to confront them and get them to confess with the cold hard evidence that she had to back up with her that she had been hiding the whole time.
Just how many secrets had she kept from everyone?
For someone that was not the best of liars, when it came to lying to someone and keeping the truth from them she was able to keep a hell a lot of secrets that no one knew about.
Ugh and it was annoying.
He was sitting in the ice cream shop eating his twenty or fortieth bowel?
And he could see the guy coming politely to ask him to leave because he had eaten too much ice cream. This was a new all you can eat ice cream that made its way to Edoka and they did not know about him or had his picture plastered as a warning. He had been banned from each single all you can eat ice cream shop in a hundred-mile radius of house and the same as Shin-Chan's houses. And ten miles of where ever he had a Heist.
He smiled cheekily and bowed leaving the money on the desk, he did not want to put these poor guys out of business like he nearly had with one when he was a little boy after his father had died he would just go there every day. It was the same place that his Dad had taken him the day before he had died and he had just kept coming back and back as if he was waiting for him to come back but he never did.
It had taken weeks for him to realize that his father was dead and that he was not coming back at all. But then his brief and very bloody conversation with Shinichi...He could not help but think of the blood. It was just so much blood, and he could not get the stains out from his suit.
He might as well be the Blood Phantom if he ever wore it again. The suit was ruined, and he could never wear it again unless he was a complete creep and he was not that.
He had already had people thinking that Kaitou Kid was a pervert because of certain mistakes he had made. But he was not going to add a murderer to the list of all things that he called Kaitou Kid or thought of him negatively, he was not going to add a murderer to that list not ever. Kaitou Kid made sure no one ever got hurt and at least everyone could agree that he was not that type of criminals.
He was realizing that he was thinking of himself as Kaitou Kid again and that could only mean one thing for him that made him smile at the thought of it.
Kaitou Kid was going to make a return to the stage again and this time he was going to make sure that it was a Grand Return because he never did do the first reappearance because that was Jii.
Now he would need a flamethrower, some glitter, doves of course, Nakamori and the Task Force would need to notify.
He froze in shock as he thought he saw something...someone.
She was sitting there, right there in the park just sitting there on the bench and he had to see it for himself.
He ran just ran not thinking or caring at all.
Not making a sound or a cause for alarm because he was scared that he would scare her away in case she would run away. Or worse alert others to her place and that she was there put her in danger, but he made it.
He was panting, and he was out of breath barely able to say a word as he leaned on his knees putting his head between them as he tried to breathe from exhaustion. Just taking a quick pause as he could still see her but she could not see him.
He took a breath in and stood up as he walked closer and closer looking at her she just looked the exact same.
"Shin-Chan?" he said quietly as his voice trembled and was so quiet.
She just hasn't heard him.
He stepped closer.
"Shin-Chan?" he said again more confidentially with his back straight.
She still did not look up and continued to look at whatever she was looking at with her attention fully focused on it.
Well, he was not going ignored not by his girlfriend.
"Shinichi!" he said loudly.
She looked up at him.
She was now looking at him as if it was the first time that she had ever seen her in her entire life and was inspecting the similarities they had because he had the same look on people's faces before and his own.
She was inspecting him.
There was something off, and he could not help himself as he pulled at her cheek making sure that she was not wearing a mask.
"Ah" she screamed in pain.
He stepped away as she rubbed at her cheek and glared at him.
She was not wearing a mask.
"Sorry" he said.
He was confused right now, and he did not know what was happening right now.
"Shinichi is that really you?" said Kaito.
She stepped away from him trying to reach for something from her bag.
"Shnichi calmed down it is me, Kaito your boyfriend. You remember me right?" he said as he pulled at his own cheek.
He was trying to show her that he was not wearing a mask.
"You look just like. It is a big ego to date someone that just looks like you...You have messy hair and chocolate all over your face...why did you date me again ?...Did you mourn for me or?" said Shinichi.
He put his hands up for her to stop talking.
"Ok, Shin-Chan one question at a time" he said almost defensively as he waved his hands in the air.
She smiled at him as she started to play with his hair.
She kissed him gently on the lips with just a peck and smiled at him.
He was starting to get scared of what was happening.
"Shin-Chan?" he said nervously.
He looked her in the eyes, and he could see that there was something off and that exact moment he began to back away.
She was going through her back again for something and he saw something that did not look good.
"You are Shin-Chan?Right?" said Kaito.
He meant it had a joke to try and get her to laugh, but she was being really creepy.
"Of course I am Shin-Chan" she said with her eye twitching.
He was now backing away until he heard the quacking sounds coming from the pond that he would have fallen into if he did not stop.
Shinichi would never call herself Shin-Chan, not in a million years!
But he and everything meant everything was an exact match for her.
Except something was off about the eyes.
"Of course it is me, silly" she said pleasantly as she stepped forward smiling.
He was looking for a way out or for someone to help him.
His foot went into the pond with his foot now soaking wet.
Quack!
Quack!
Quack!
They were now panicking and beginning to fly away.
Quack!
Quack!
He could feel the water dripping from his shirt.
He then looked at Shinichi who looked pale as was holding something in her hands and then she let it go with something red dripping from her hands.
And then she ran away.
"Hey...you forgot your...Knife..." he said as he looked at his chest.
He then felt the stabbing pain in his chest as he began to fall into the pond feeling the stabbing pain in his stomach.
He could then taste the water in the pond.
The water was now turning red.
He was starting to drown.
The pain in his chest or the water that was entering it he did not know which one hurt more. But Shinichi running away had hurt far more because he did not know why she ran away because she was safe with him and she could trust him because he felt the same about her and he thought she thought the same.
And the last thing he could hear before the ringing in his ears was the screaming of children.
