Sitting in an unfamiliar restaurant, the paper cup of coffee was still warm, and it was keeping her hands even warmer because right now it was snowing outside, and all she was wearing was a pink dress. He had stupidly dressed her for the summer even though it was the middle of the winter and it was freezing cold and soon would her cup of coffee if she did not drink it but it was keeping her hands so warm she did not to move it.
But the smell was just so intoxicating it take her seconds to realize that she had already swallowed the cup of coffee whole.
"Freshen up your coffee" said the smiling waitress.
She looked up and just nodded half smiling as the cup was poured in her hands were being warmed up again, she watched the waitress walk away and just kept avoiding all eye contact with Kaito.
BUZZ
They both looked at the phone that was vibrating on the table, and Kaito quickly grabbed it reading the text that they both were waiting on. He was reading and smiled as he read it moving his lips as he read it in his head.
"Hattori will be here soon so that will be good, I suppose" said Kaito as he held onto the phone.
Shinichi just nodded as she took some sugar adding it to her sugar and then drinking it as she nodded.
"So where is your Mum and Dad?" said Kaito.
He could hardly muster that word because he was still trying to process it all. He knew if Shin-Chan said it was true then it was true but he could not muster the truth and part of him was not believe her thinking that she was mistaken. He knows that she had been through a hell of a lot he had said just a little of what she had been through and he did not want to know anymore. But at the same time he knew that he had to ask her get it for his Shin-Chan so that he could have it confirmed for himself, so he could believe it.
"Europe for a couple of days and then they will be back" said Shinichi.
He then put his hand out to hers holding onto her hand with both her hands warming his own on the cup of coffee and making her hands warmer as well.
"Shin-Chan, talk to me" said Kaito.
She was sitting opposite of him, and he wanted her sitting beside him instead but at least this way he could look her in the eyes. If she would just make eye contact with him and she had been avoiding it the whole time and she just looks just so sad that she had no Poker Face because he could see that she was cracked like it.
"Shin-Chan?" said Kaito.
She pulled her hand away.
"Tell me about him, tell me about my Dad please" said Kaito.
But right now Shinichi was too busy to pay attention Kaito watching the suspicious people in the cafe that were acting weird as their behaviour was off and the way they were dressed was telling her something.
The place was about to be robbed.
She put her head down and just face palmed of all the people and places in the world this just had to happen to the place that she had to walk into.
"Tell me about him, tell me about my Dad please" said Kaito.
But when Kaito asked about his Dad that was something that she had heard because she had known it was coming but she did not expect it so soon or here of pace and the bad timing was bad enough. So, it had naturally was right time to ask her questions about it all and looking at the look in the restaurant that the people kept looking at she knew it was not going to be long before things started to happen.
" Hmph Kaito you know my kind of luck when I go to places for something to eat well some of my bad luck is about to happen again I can just feel it" said Shinichi.
Kaito immediately looked up confused but he was able to put the pieces together.
"Ok good" he said satisfied.
She frowned at him.
"Really?" she said rhetorically as she took a sip of her coffee.
He was just glad that she was not ignoring and avoiding him at that very moment.
He knew he loved her, and it was puppy love in the first stage he could see that now and he was now mad crazy in love with her so there was only one thing that he could do right now to help her in this situation that she was in. To help everyone in the cafe and catch the bad guys all in one go, boy was he going to give her the surprise of her life.
He could just not help himself, and he had wanted to do this the moment he found out that Shinichi and Shirley were one and the same. And he even had the ring for it but he did not have the ring on him right now and that was so sad. But he did have candy jewellery in his pocket that happened to be a lollypop and said 'I Love You' on it and he was feeling the rush so he had to do it now.
He stood up and got ready to get on one knee.
"What are you doing?" said Shinichi unprepared.
He got down one knee as Shinichi stood up and very much freaked out.
FLASH
Flames came out setting off the sprinklers, now it was raining water and rose petals making everyone very soaked and wet with water and rose petals.
"You are the Love of my life and so much more than words can say. So Shin-Chan will you marry me?" said Kaito.
Shinichi just stood there frozen and stone face as she was unable to progress what was happening right now.
"Shin-Chan?" he said nervously and smiling as he got up from his knee.
Everyone was soaking wet and freezing leaving the cafe with a fire engine now sitting outside and so were the police.
Shinichi just blinked for a moment showing that she was still alive in there.
"Are you mad?" said Shinichi.
He eagerly shook his head as he smiled and Shinichi shook her head face palming at the same time in disbelief.
He was watching Hattori and the police arrest all the would be robbers outside while he smiled and winked at Hattori while he did it. Meanwhile, his Shin-Chan was still in shock and was barely moving a muscle just looking at him with her eye twitching at him.
"You are adorable when you are all wet and so cute" said Kaito.
And her eyes were nearly popping out of her head at this moment.
"NO!" said Shinichi.
He pouted"No fair" said Kaito.
He already knew what she would say, but he was still hoping that she just might say yes being the chance that there was the possibility he could just not let it go.
"Shin-Chan, are you still or do you still at least want to be my girlfriend?" said Kaito.
Shinichi just shrugged and began to walk out the back door.
"Do not walk away Shin-Chan this is an important conversation and we need to have it" said Kaito.
But Shinichi walked away yelling at him.
"I am not having this conversation and getting drowned at the same time"
He, on the other hand, was bone dry because he was wearing an umbrella as a hat.
"On yeah that...wait for me Shin-Chan" said Kaito.
But he ran and slipped on the floor getting soaking wet and all he could hear was laughter coming from outside from everyone. He was not happy with this at all, but he could also hear Shinichi laughing and if she was laughing that meant that she was smiling and that she was happy, so he was happy with that.
He stepped out the back to see that he had recognized this place because he had been here before and he was there with Shinichi. He had set up by his fans and had been chased by them wanting him and he was all panicky and happily ran into his Shin-Chan and spent some time with her stuck hiding from his fans. And at the end of the night he walked away with the chance of getting his first date from her and he just had to find her first to get it.
"Remising" said Shinichi happily.
He nodded. " Best almost capture ever" said Kaito.
"Pervert" said Shinichi turning red.
He just stomped his foot like a child.
"You still act like a child" said Shinichi neutrally.
She had realized this a while ago that had been like this because he was traumatised as a child thinking that his father had died and the child behaviour had stuck with him and became apart if him because of it. This was now part of his permanent personality, and she was starting to wonder if he would ever fully grow up.
"I have Peter Pan Syndrome" said Kaito.
He then pouted and crossed his arms when he could see that she was being serious and then grabbed her arm pulling her along as he ran down the alley.
"Come on I want to show you something" said Kaito.
She just sighed trying to catch her breath at the same time.
"Kaito!" she said annoyed.
He handed her a red rose and then smiled sheepishly at her.
"Shin-Chan will you go on a date with me?" said Kaito.
She realized that she was standing in the exact same place that she was standing the first time that he had asked her out.
"No, sorry but we...I can't do this anymore Kaito. I am sorry but...please can we just be friends" said Shinichi blabbing.
She was doing her best to hold back her tears. She knew it would be best for him if they broke up for good. Kaito should have moved on when he thought that she was dead because he would have known that was what she would have wanted for him to be happy. And that is exactly what she wanted for him because she knew that as much as he loved her and she still loved him they could not work or truly be together because the way she is.
It never worked in fictional novels or in the movies for anyone because it never ended well for the mortal. They either died, one of them would turn evil and would both would turn against each with one or both succeeding.
Kaito deserved to grow old with someone get married and have kids because that is what he always wanted and deserved. Love was his true magic, and he deserved to have it, maybe with Aoko or someone else that he knew or someone he could find to love him as much as he loved her and more so.
"Shinichi?" said Kaito.
Shinichi began to walk away as she could see Kaito stand still mad she knew it was cowardly of her but she began to move quickly so she could get away as fast as she could. But he grabbed her arm before she could escape and she panicked as her reflexes kicked in she flipped him and put him into a shoulder lock right onto the ground.
"I am sorry" she said apologetically and letting him go.
They tried to teach her how to fight, she refused at first for several weeks but the beatings and pain was getting too much that she had to learn how to defend herself the best she could. With twelve hours of intense training that she would receive once a week once they had finished healing her of all her injuries and then it be back to getting more.
She backed away scared of herself and what she was capable of.
"Shin-Chan what did They do to you?" said Kaito concerned.
She just started to cry at that moment having final having her breakdown.
"Come on I will take you to Hattori and we can do something, anything that will help cheer you up. Do something to help Shin-Chan please just be alright for me and I will leave you alone if that is what you really want and if that is what you really need" said Kaito.
She just nodded and hugged him.
"I don't want to talk about THEM or Rum...Please do not bring it up again...I am not ready to talk about that bastard" said Shinichi.
She had not realized what she was saying.
He kissed her on the cheek " I will be your friend if that is what you want and always no matter what" said Kaito.
What did Rum or his Dad do to her to make her like this so vulnerable? Her falling apart so easily. The girl he knew was unbreakable and this girl was so breakable that it was rather sad that emotionally she was...he did not want to think of it.
He hugged her tightly as they forwardly walked holding her close as she began to cry into his chest unable to hold back her tears anymore.
They both got to Hattori both looked at him silently as Hattori was able to deduce it was them and nodded at them.
But out of nowhere Shinichi suddenly kissed him on the lips.
"Goodbye" she said and walked away.
But stepped forward again kissing him the cheek as he stood still as he was realizing what kind of kiss that was. It was a good bye kiss and she was saying goodbye forever.
