"How dare she?" mumbled Kaito to himself.
He so did not stink!
And anyway this was part of his disguise and he was going to take a shower and soon, and he just took one on...Monday? ...No, he was doing something else that day, and he did not have time to take a shower and before that? So maybe he had not taken a shower in about maybe a month, but it was now raining and he was soaking wet and he could consider this as a shower. His clothes would be cleaner, and he was soaked to the bone even though he was freezing he would be cleaner than he was.
And that smell was not even that bad?
Or maybe it was the reason that his Doves had been avoiding him?
But he was still more upset and angry that they had given up the search looking for her and even told him that it would be best to stop looking in his own way because they all had found nothing. And this was true but he did not like it coming from her of all people because he blamed her for this happening and Hakuba.
'Had he fallen so little and hit rock bottom?' he paused as he thought.
Then he saw his own reflection in a puddle, and he was disgusted of what he was seeing as he imagined his former glory self of Kaitou Kid right beside it and he wanted his old self back and wanted it now.
But before he could move he was splashed with the water in the puddle with an angry driver going over the speed limit leaving him drenched. He was ready to yell at this driver and scream his emotions at loud but before he could do that he realized just how crazy that he would look.
And then he saw the car backing and he recognized the license plate and he gulped he was frozen for a moment but he quickly moved before they could see him as he saw the both of them get out the car.
"Dad you idiot you soaked that man" screamed Aoko.
"You were the one that was driving not me" said Nakamori.
"Well, you are not a very good teacher just goes to show" said Aoko.
"I am not the one with road rage" said Nakamori as he took the keys out of her hands.
He watched the two of them amused as they were arguing Aoko drives like father and full of road rage but Nakamori never went over the speed limit near a school. So maybe it was not best for Aoko to be taking lessons from him or from anyone really because putting her on the road with a lethal weapon like her a car was something that he just could not handle. In this life or another, once he was hit down and struck by the car that he would be most likely ran over with.
She thought that she noticed a familiar face and someone on the streets, so she decided that she would follow them and she may have even maybe have went over the speed limit just a tad. But she was sure as hell that she had seen him there, she thought that she had seen Kaito there in the street and she needed to be discrete and follow him. She had to find out where he was living so that she could bring him and finally give him the help that he so needs.
Bakaito" she whispered silently to herself as she shed a tear for him.
It will be tomorrow, and she did not know much about their relationship but all she knew that Kaito was in love with her and when she did died, Kaito had lost another person that he loved at such a young age again. He was not coping this time, like the last time he had lost his father in an accident but this time it was murder and Hakuba had died as well. This time was different and he was now broken and he needed to be put together again.
It was starting to get cold again, and it was breezy as he pulled his jacket across him he did not notice it until it struck him on the face. It was the newspaper, and he took one look at the headline and he began to cry.
"KUDO SHINICHI LEGALLY DEAD"
He read it out loud and then looked at the date on it and it was from almost a week ago. And then he began to read the full story making him more upset and angry.
There was no body but enough evidence given to prove that she had died alongside Hakuba and they had given up the search looking for her because there was no logical reason why they would keep her alive for so long. The story was done by someone so a cold hearted and there was no emotional side to it and he knew that she deserved better. It went on to say that the police and people urged her parents and the law to legally make her dead for everyone's search. But her parents would not do it because they believed that she was still alive and it was taken to court where she was made legally dead after a trial of a month. And what was worse he had no idea about this and he did not know what side that he would be on if he was there.
He then saw another newspaper on the ground, and it was dated from today and he began to search and read for any information that he could find. And he then found an article that was saying that a private funeral would be held the in two days and he then realized that would be tomorrow. And he took one look at himself and then sniffed at his armpit and he knew that there was no way that he could go looking like this and he had to change his appearance. And do something about that smell because he was going to the funeral and he was going to be presentable for her.
But there was still the thought in the back of his head that she was still alive and that she was not dead because he could just not believe that she was dead, he could just not. It was not like he was in denial because there was one point that he had accepted that she was dead and he cried for her that night. He cried himself to sleep and when he was asleep that it changed everything because he had dreams about her and it felt so real that she was real and alive. It was as if he was communicating to her through their dreams and it happened a few times after that and she told him that she loved him and that she was alive. But she did not tell him much after that it was like she was hiding something or wanted to protect him from something or she was protecting herself in some way. He had no idea what she was hiding and he was hoping that she was still alive because that would be the best thing ever.
He took the crumpled money out of his pockets, and he knew that he would need a haircut and some clothes. He so needed a makeover and fast, and he had to think now where would the best place to go?
He still had a hideout nearby and this was one that no one knew about not even Jii or his mother because of circumstances and he thought it would be a good idea to have one that would not be located by accident. It was just his safe house and it was a place that he could get away from the world and out of the eye of everyone so he could remove his now broken Poker Face that he was going to have to mix again. And he was going to need a disguise to actually go because he knew there was a good chance that those sick bastards would be there and faster a lot of them.
The Funeral he was knew that it was a trap either planned by them or being used by them and this was discomforting in his stomach and almost made him sick to his stomach. And he wanted revenge and that was what he was going to do and was one of the main reasons he was going. But he knew one thing for sure that he would not do it at the Funeral or at the grave because that would be the time for her memory led to rest and he did not want to get any blood or tarnish her name.
He knew that she would not want him to get revenge and do something stupid like what he was about to do and she would do everything in power to stop him and maybe even convince him to she was not here to do that so she could not stop him for doing all of that so they only had themselves to blame.
He was now standing outside of his hideout in Beika and then looked back at him and he was staring at the building opposite for what felt like several hours. It was the Mouri Detective Agency that he was looking at, the place that she used to stay when she was Edowaga Shirley her first and second home that she lived in.
And in 'No Way!' is that creepy that he choose here as his hideout from everyone and even though it is beside where Shinichi used to stay or Edowaga Christie is a little girl detective he knew that the time? Ok! It is just a bit creepy but whenever he was with her he had never once been injured or hurt to expect from her of course. So she was like his good luck charm or something like that. And what is it the say "Keep your friends close but enemies closer" and she was both of them? And the area was nice anyway and he was surprised that she had not noticed that he had been there before. But now thinking about it any time that he was there, she was not staying there or something epic was happening in the office.
He could see that Ran's light was still on and the curtains were drawn. It was late, and the funeral was in a couple of hours he was guessing that she was doing one thing and that was crying. She was trying to hold herself together and failing miserably, much like he was and he had that in common with her. He needed someone to talk to, and he could sense that she was feeling the same.
And he made himself away through the door and he quickly made himself way to the bathroom to shave off his horrible beard that he had taken over his face. And he did but the hairs did end up taking up the entire sink and he was now feeling itchier than he had ever been in his entire life as he continued to scratch at his neck.
He looked in the sink.
"Freaking hell that is a lot of hair, but it would be good for a wig" he said smiling at this.
In this hide out of his he had no disguises or nothing because he really never got round to putting there. And he did get this hideout a week before he found out that Christie was really Shinichi and everything had fallen into place, so much had made sense back then. He smiled at this, the thought of the good old days. The days where he was happier and everything so much simpler and better, maybe it would have been better if he never found out the truth? Everything would have been so much safer and no one would have been in danger.
If he had just kept his nose out of it like she wanted to in the first place then she would still be.
He shook his head of the thought of it and did not want to think of it anymore.
She was alive, she just had to be.
Because a world without Kudo Shinichi was just too much of a horrible world to think about and he did not want to think about it anymore. She was alive, and that was the end of it.
Now he would go tomorrow to the Funeral because he was betting more than anything that this was all part of Shinichi's plan and she was going to be there. She had made big plans before, and this would definitely be one of hers to show everyone that she was still alive and would be a place to meet them.
It just had to be.
Shinichi was not dead, and he was not crying because of this.
He just had something in his eye. It was a hair that had gotten in his eye, and he was going to get it out.
He looked out the window.
All the lights were switched off again.
And he had no one to talk to.
He took a sleep pill so that he could get some sleep and so that he could finally sleep because he now felt safe and he was in a safe place.
He fell asleep within two minutes not realising that he had taken the wrong dose, and he had taken too much.
He was going to sleep much longer than he thought he would.
