Walking the hallways of the hospital on crutches was a mission, but at least she was doing something. So far she had done hourly, and a half laps around this hospital wing. Which interestingly would to be renamed, after a rather large and generous donation was donated to the hospital. Everything had been refurbished, and she could still smell the faint smell of paint that was in the air. This all happened when she was in her and was done by the time he had woken. Whoever had gotten this done had deep pockets and a lot of money to spend.
It was a bitch.
But at least she was on crutches now and no longer needed the assistance of somehow looming over her.
She wanted practice going down a flight of stairs or two, but Ran would not allow this. Ran was getting to far too over protective. All of the Doctors were terrified of Ran. Even some of the Nurse was scared of her, and Nurses were scared of nothing. So, she was locked up on the floor and not even allowed on the lift, unless someone was supervising her. She really needed a way to get off Ran's radar for a while.
KID was almost caught out by Ran by pressing his luck again. He was just lucky that Sonoko got in his way by wanting to do her hair. Ran was suspicious of the new Nurse and the thief escaped through a window, in the girl's bathroom. Kaitou Kid was truly a pervert.
The Doctors told her chances of a full recovery were good. Given the facts of her situation beforehand this was nothing short of a miracle.
Two hours of walking in circle was exhausting on the body and her mind. Her muscles were starting to ache again and she did not want to strain or exhaust herself only to make things worse for herself.
The last time she overdid it. This led to dehydration (twice) and she had to rest for a while. This meant that she could not train for a couple of days and had spent a couple of days in bed again.
Muscles are bruised, but they were starting to heal again. The bruises are in the same places, and Shinichi just does allow herself to admit it. She was sluggish and tired that she was not making enough progress. She knows that her progress is moving quickly, but for her this was not fast enough and she was starting to lack motivation. She needed a change of scenery, and she needed out of the Hospital.
But first she would need a bath to relax her muscles in.
Ran had run her a bath, insisting that it would best that she does it and Shinichi just did not want to argue with her.
"Oh hot!" she said touching it with her hand.
Due to being Edowaga Christie and having Ran forcibly bathe her whenever she liked it or not, Shincihi automatically began to remove her clothing.
"Shinichi!" said Ran.
"Ran –ne-," said Shinichi.
She turned around with Ran's voice sounding off and rather squeamish.
She was going to ask Ran to help her into the bath because her muscle was starting to ache, and she thought Ran would be assisting on her helping. Or Ran would have forced her help on her now.
Although Ran would have her eyes closed by now.
Ran would have closed the door behind her as well. So one could see her naked by accident or unknowingly entire her room and see something they should not.
Ran would be dressed to help her get in the bath, knowing that she would get wet; Ran would wear the appriopate clothing required.
RAN would have already got her clothes ready for bed for her when she got out the bath.
The water would have been a lot colder. She liked the water slightly colder, but she did not like this kind of bubble bath. Ran always checked the temperature before she would even let anyone in it.
And there are new flowers in her room. There were flowers that were not there before she had left her room. Flowers that she secretly liked and told no one.
There was enough evidence to show that there was a pervert in the bathroom with her. And logically she could think of only one person that it could possibly be. She did the equations, and she knew it to be true.
Shinichi was mad as hell.
She trembled mad as hell.
She grabbed her housecoat and wrapped it around her. She wrapped her arms around her waist and then her chest. She saw his eyes divert to down lower as she moved her arms and this made her even madder.
"PERVERT!" she screamed.
He did not mean it to go this far. He swears he did not mean it to go this far.
He was just lucky that Kudo's vocal cords were still healing. She could talk normally and all, but her shouting was not loud at all. Or someone would be in here right now and kicking him out.
He closed the door behind him carefully and quietly. He was not sure what he was going to say but he knew that he needed to apologise, right now and right away.
He waved his hands in the air showing that he was surrendering to her. There was no point in pretending that he was Mouri Ran, because it was clear the Detective deduced who he was.
He just heard a rumour about Edowaga Christie. He did not know what it was, but he wanted to know what it was. He knew that Mouri Ran was talking about her and that she would talk to Kudo about it, so he thought she would like to talk about it again. Except…he did not know what he was thinking. He just acted instead and winded up here at the Hospital and disguised as Mouri Ran before he knew it.
"Kudo-Kun" he said using his KID voice and calming way.
He grabbed the nearest towel and preceded to hand it to her, trying to show that he was a gentleman and not a pervert.
She did not look too convinced.
"Get the hell out" said Shinichi.
She needed a moment to catch a breath.
"NOW" said Shinichi.
He covered both of his eyes with one and still held the towel in the other hand. He wanted to hand it to her.
He peaked through his fingers when he heard her breath getting shorter and he could tell that she was in pain.
She had left her crutches on the other side of the bathroom. Shinichi had held onto the walls to get her this far and then she was too exhausted to go any further and this situation started there. She was not blaming herself this was what happened.
She was barely able to stand and use the rest of her strength just to cover herself up because she had already removed her clothing to be washed and then put her bathrobe on.
The pervert was trying to hand her a towel. But there was no chance that she was going to take it.
She was too tired to move any further and she did not see this boy as a true threat, so she decided to sit on the side of the bath. She looked at the water of the bath and decided since she could not have a bath right now…
SPLASH
He was soaked head to toe with water.
"Hey" he said annoyed.
The clothes were sticking to him, and it was getting really tight and was uncomfortable in a place that it should not be. It was starting too painful and really awkward. He did not realise that his face was peeling off.
"You?" said Shinichi sounding surprised.
"You are Kuroba Kaito" said Shinichi flatly.
His jaw dropped in this moment.
He looked to the nearest mirror, and he saw that his mask had started to peel off his face. Half of it was missing, and you could see his entire face from that side. He was doomed. She had seen his face and that was all she needed to know what she needed to know.
It did not help that he had been in the news lately. It was not a good report because of a certain incident in school. Certain incidents involving a lock and him falling head first into a certain bathroom, that had certain people that were visiting. And people that were getting changed
"You are a pervert!" said Shinichi.
He panicked and could think of only one thing to, and that was to drop a smoke bomb.
PUFF
He covered the room with a smoke bomb, and this is something that he should not have.
*****Coughing***** Shinichi started to choke on the smoke bomb in a very in closed space. There was nowhere else for the smoke to go and was making it hard for her to breathe properly.
"Baka thief" she shouted at the thief.
He tried to grab the door handle. He really did try. But the soap that was left on the ground was in the way and he was able to even see it.
WHOOSH
The Baka thief slipped on the wet soap bar as if it was a banana peel and slid right across the room.
Shinichi was able to narrowly able to move herself as she saw something whisking or rather flashing towards her.
THUMB
SPLASH
The next thing the thief knew he was waking up in the hospital with a concussion and handcuffed to the bed. With a mop that was about to be used to hit the backside and his head. Before the end of the head, he would end up with another concussion.
