1412 and the Pandora Gem

"Kuroba!" Akako started after him when Habuka stopped her, "What are you doing?! They can die in there!"

Habuka simply watched Kaito's disappearing figure before turning his gaze to Jodie-sensai. She had a knowing smile on her face giving Habuka chills. I know she's familiar, he thought, but where?

Kaito put his sleeve to his face as the burning school made ambers and smoke sting his face, "Aoko!" he yelled over the roar of the flames, hopeing she could hear him over it.

"Kaito?!" she appeared before him. A smear of soot on her cheek, and either with tears or sweat. Knowing Aoko, she probably had been crying.

He inhaled slowly in relief, which wasn't a good idea when he breathed in smoke.. Composing himself he grabbed her arm, "Come on! Why are you still in the building anyway?!"

"Don't you yell at me Kuroba Kaito!" she protested, rubbing at her eyes, making soot smear her face more. And Kaito noticed something that also smeared with the soot. Something red. Blood. On the side of her head Aoko was bleeding.

"Aoko" Kaito cursed under his breath as he grabbed her arm, "What happened?!"

"I heard someone call my name," she answered as Kaito pulled her along to the exit, "When the school shook I fell and hit my head," she coughed against the thicking smog, "But don't worry. It's just a small cut."

It was indeed not that big but exposed to the smoke and ash it wasn't good for the wound. No matter how small. He looked around, they needed to get out of there, the building was quickly going up in flames and it was getting harder to breath. So he came to one conclusion, even if Aoko would disagree. "Aoko" he picked her up in his arms, "Sorry about this"

"Eh?!" blushing, Aoko pushed against him, "What are you doing?!"

"You can't see it," Kaito answered, trying not to drop the protesting Aoko, "But the big inferno in front of us is the door."

Aoko stopped mid rant and turned her attention to the large flames. It was the door because behind it was the evacuated classes, teachers, and firemen with medical workers. "How are we going to get through there?" Something clicked in her mind, "Kaito, you're not"

"Trust me," Kaito winked down at her, "Just trust me."

She swallowed but circled her arms around his neck, burying her face in his chest. That baka, she thought, Tempting fate but"I trust you," she said aloud.

"Alright," Kaito put on a cocky grin, one that Kid the Phantom thief would wear. Because, though he would die before admitting it, he was scared too. "Let's go!" and dashed toward the flames.

It brushed harmlessly around them before they fell outside of the burning building. Both gasped for breathes of clean air as the medical workers began to fuss over them.

"Are you guys alright?!" Akako and Habuka demanded, running up to help them.

Kaito helped a worker lay Aoko on a stretcher before turning to them, "Yeah, everyone else out safely?"

"Yes!" Jodie-sensai came up and looked worriedly from Aoko being loaded in the ambulance to the soot covered Kaito, "Kuroba-san, you should go to the hospital too. You probably breathed in a lot of smoke"

"" Kaito shook his head, "No I'm alright." He started to the ambulance to go to the hospital with Aoko when something caught his attention. A man in black. He wore a black hat over lond blonde hair, and she stared coldly at the scene, giving Kaito a quick glare before disappearing like a shadow.

Jodie-sensai smirked, making Habuka and Akako giver her frowns. Kaito had an emotionless expression on his face as he sat at Aoko's side and realized Habuka and Akako were there too. He gave them a forced smile before looking down at Aoko, who was blinking her large blue eyes at him.

"Thank you," Aoko smiled before drifting off. Kaito nodded, but felt lightheaded and swayed slightly. The medical worker noticed and began fussing over him but Kaito didn't care. He went unconscious.
