It was two weeks later and they were all back in Japan all having their lives back to normal and this except for Shinichi who was still in hiding from the world and was now currently hiding out in protective custody. And she was in hiding at Hakuba's houses of all places in the world, a place that no one thought that she would ever be of all places. And this was all because he threatened to not drop the charges of kidnapping against all of them unless she surrendered. And stupidly in a weak moment she did because Hakuba had all the evidence that he needed to prove that Kaito was Kaitou Kid and it was a trade her freedom for his and she took it without a second thought.
But now looking outside at the mansion that she was currently stuck in she wanted out and she was feeling the walls starting to come in and she so needed fresh air more than anything.
"Unless you are willing to talk or go outside with someone then I am afraid that you may not leave this house" said Hakuba.
There were currently two guards standing behind him trying to do their best to be imitating but sadly for them she was friends with Ran and she was far more terrifying than they would never be in her league not even close.
" Pass mother " said Shinichi.
She just sat back in the seat reading her father's latest book and trying her best to ignore Hakuba and his annoying stalker look eye that he was giving her as he was trying his best to read her and everything that she knew. She was a detective she knew that look because it was a look that she had on her face sometimes and was the same look that Hattori got. And I would just be hilarious of them both knew that if she told him that he shared something with someone that he hated more than Kaitou Kid.
"Shinichi I know that you think you are only trying to protect everyone but..." said Hakuba.
"Using my first name trying to make feel like we have a connection creating a personal connection and making me think I can trust you and trust that my secrets are safe with you and that I will feel safe with you. Really you are trying to use a simple trick like that to try and make me talk it is not going to work you should know better than that honestly. I am already anticipated this has you just using this as a decoy and I could go on" said Shinichi as she flicked through the book.
She heard a click of a tongue.
"Here is the school work that you will be doing and the rest will be brought up to you, all of which that you have still to catch up on. So this will keep you busy at least until I am back from school the first day back of our senior year, sorry that you will be missing it. And you will be missing your dear sweet thief but I will make sure that he is fine but I cannot say where you are or I will just have to move you again and it will be somewhere you will not be able to be near him" said Hakuba.
And she ripped the top of the page in anger as he walked away and he had gotten to her as he walked away smiling as he shut the door behind him leaving the two guards behind and she was locked in.
She sighed as she looked at the school work seeing that she had a lot to catch up on and just how much she had missed in the past year and half and just maybe that she was going to miss a lot more. But at least she had something to do now and even if it was school work at least it was something to do other than read a book which she had been doing all the time.
Kaito had arrived at school just as they were opening the gates making the few employees that were still there very uncomfortable and extremely nervous thinking that he had something massive planned for the first day of school. And because it was his final year in school, they just knew that it was going to be big, bigger than anything that he had ever done before. But when he just sat down on his seat and did nothing but sits and stare at the board waiting for class to begin they were more scared and worried at the same time. They had no idea what was going to happen right now and it was something new and they were almost shaking with fear and so was everyone as they entered the classroom as they saw the stern serious look on his face.
He was focused, and he was ready for the bastard that had taken his girlfriend hostage with him and left him and the others deserted. And it was the same island that he and Shinichi were stuck on for weeks and they were stuck there for almost two weeks until their rescue had arrived. The bastard had managed to trick them all into doing what he wanted and he had been to walk away with the Shinichi and leaving all the evidence of him being Kaitou Kid behind. With a smug arrogant look and smile on his face and what was he actually put his arm around Shinichi, as he walked away.
And now the bastard had arrived bowing to the class as an apology for being late, smiling as all the girls admired him he could feel his anger pulsing but there was no way that he was going to let him get the better of him not again. There was no evidence it was all just one big giant bluff and they had all fallen from it, the folder was just pictures and nothing more than a manipulation that they had fallen for.
Hakuba was now sitting at the front like the good little student that he was while he sat at the back of the classroom like the class clown that he was and he was planning on pranking the hell out of Hakuba.
And all that day everyone was right to terrified and all that was seen that day was pink smoke and they swore that they also saw an elephant on the rooftop dancing in a tutu to the cha cha slide. And everyone was now dressed as bridesmaids and they were all the worst dressing seen in history and they were all tight and hard to move in making it so much more worse. And this had only been the first ten minutes of class and at the end of the day Hakuba was now dressed as a horses ass and everyone in the class had the mutual feeling that he was to blame for all of this. He had somehow upset or made the class clown mad, and this was this way of acting out and they were blaming him for this.
But Hakuba was able to keep his cool because he had the one thing that Kaitou Kid/Kuroba Kaito wanted and that was Kudo Shinichi. And he was just waiting for one of them to talk because it was just a matter of time before one of them did because it was his only weakness they both had was each other and he was going to do everything in his power to use it against him.
He had hated the fact that an actual Detective had fallen in love with a criminal, a thief and the bane of his existence and he had done the same by falling in love with a Detective. The two of them were complete opposite and had nothing in common he could just not see how a great Detective like Kudo Shinichi who followed the law. And even in some of the cases that he had read that she had solved he would have been tempted to let the killer go but he saw that she did it without a second thought. When it came to murders and crimes of cruelty he could see that she saw only in black and white and nothing more.
But when it came to Kaitou Kid every single Detective including himself were all different around him and so were their views and opinions of crimes. They all were happy coming out of their shells, and it was as if it was all just one big game to them all. And when he had heard that Nakamori used to be a quiet man and well mannered he was shocked and he just could not picture a version or any version of him like that. And he was told that the first time that Nakamori had met Kaitou Kid that was when he changed and was the first time some of the officers had even heard him speak. And after the next Heist his demeanour had completely changed doing a 180 and he was now the loud mouth and swearing man that they all knew today. Kaitou Kid was the type of criminal to change everyone, some for the good and some for the worst. And he was made a better Detective because of it and for Kudo Shinichi she was able to get in the mind of a criminal more but he did not know if it was good or for the worst.
Class was now over, and this was how it was going to be for at least a month or until Kuroba`s attention span ran out and he would be confronted and he was counting on that happening.
He was getting ready to follow Hakuba home, follow him every single step he took and he would not rest until he got what he wanted and that as Shinichi. Who he was sure was nearby or somewhere he could just feel it he wanted his Shin-Chan back.
"Kuroba I am a Detective I know that you are there" said Hakuba not even moving a muscle.
Kaito just jumped out of the tree and landed gracefully in front of Hakuba.
"Where is Shinichi?" said Kaito coldly.
"Tell me what I need to know, and I will do the same thing" said Hakuba.
"This is not a game" said Kaito.
"But it is all one big game to Kaitou Kid and that is you. And your rules are no one gets harmed and with Kudo Shinichi in protective custody she will not be harmed and if you want to make sure she stays that way because she is not talking to anyone" said Hakuba.
"This is not a game to me and never has been just let her go and I will take her place" said Kaito.
"But you would find it much easier to escape and the two of you would just disappear together again and off into the sunset" said Hakuba.
"You do not even though what you are getting yourself into and if you did you would not be doing this just let her go" said Kaito.
"Then tell me what I am getting myself into because it seems that I am the only one that does not know and you actually trust that loudmouthed Osaka Detective over someone that once considered you a friend" said Hakuba.
"I was not the one to trust him and...wait you are just jealous of everything. This has never been about unfolding the truth it is just about the fact that she chooses me over you and no one trusts you. And you do not like the fact that they have their reasons said Kaito.
"That is strike one and if there is another two you will never see her again and I will make sure of it or I will just arrest her for protecting a known criminal" said Hakuba.
"If you are trying to make me mad because it is not going to work because it only shows you are desperate and that makes me very happy and you are the one that is more likely to crack than Shinichi or me. So, see ya" said Kaito saluting and walking away.
But he also managed to slip on a listening and tracking device on Hakuba and he did not even notice victory was his.
Knock Knock
There was a knock on the door, and she knew who it was immediately and there was no way in hell that she wanted to talk to him but see him she did not want that.
"You are not answering, and I can hear the frustration in your voice I take it that you are decent and that I can come in" said Hakuba as he opened the door.
She gave him a dull look as soon as he came in.
THUMP
A lot of paperwork and books as dropped on the desk.
"I had someone drop by your old school and here is some more work that you need to catch up on and if you do not finish it and soon then they will be expelling you and I doubt any other school will take you with you missing nearly two years of work" said Hakuba.
"You are a clown" said Shinichi.
"And that is because your boyfriend has the temperament of a child and this is how he reacts when he does not get what he wants and that is you" said Hakuba.
"Let me guess you two had words and he walked away with the last word otherwise you would not be this mad" said Shinichi.
"I will take the work you have done and make sure that it is returned" said Hakuba.
Shinichi just sighed and leaned on the table leaning against her table looking out the window. It was a full moon and she was guessing that there would be a Kaitou Kid Heist tonight and she was still trapped. Still healing and turned out she got heat stroke after of course she left the island and she as now had the energy of a seventy years old but it was dead year old a week ago so at least she was getting better in time.
And then she noticed it a device stuck of Hakuba and she knew who that belonged to and that meant he knew where she was or he would eventually know.
