1412 and the Pandora Gem
Kaito slowly opened his eyes but could only see darkness all around him. Though he felt he was standing on solid ground, there was only this abyss. "?" He asked to no one in particular, "Where is this?" His words only seem to echo but something started to form in front of him. At first it looked like a flickering picture but it began to focus and Kaito realized it was Aoko!
"Aoko?" Kaito asked, unsure if it was her or not. "Why are we here? Where is 'here'?"
She didn't even seem to notice him there until suddenly a gunshot rang out and Aoko screamed. She held her stomach as blood began to ooze out.
"Aoko!" Kaito cried, he turned to the smoking gun, connected to an arm, to a chest, but he couldn't believe what he saw. The face was so many different people! Jodie-sensai, a woman that looked like Jodie-sensai but with long hair and no glasses, the man in black, and the man in the brown trenchcoat who called Kaito his father's name.
Then Kaito noticed something. He was dressed as Kid. In the his gloved hand lay a small crimsom gem. Though he had never seen it before Katio, now known as Kid, knew this was the Pandora gem. The gem of immortality his father lost his life over. The reason Kuroba Kaito awakened Kid the Phantom thief once more.
He clenched his fist and felt the Pandora gem crush into dust. Though it shouldn't have broke so easily, and if it did should pierce his skin, it only became dust. When Kid opened his hand, the dust was carried off by a breeze that wasn't really there and disappeared.
Suddenly, a sharp yank went through his chest, and Kaito Kid found himself flying backward in memories. Edogawa Conan, really known as Kudo Shinichi, Mori Ran, Hattori Heiji, Toyama Kazuha, and Haibara Ai really known as Miyano Shihothough Kaito Kid knew only a few of the people, the ones he didn't know he somehow saw and knew their names. Why?
"Are?" he opened his eyes and found himself laying in a hospital bed. No more Kid, no Edogawa Conan, nobleeding Aoko. Aoko! Where is she?! Kaito looked wildly around but found Aoko peacefully sleeping in the bed next to his.
"Ah, you're awake?" Habuka asked, entering the room, Akako right behind him.
"" she balanced a tray of two cups of ice water and handed Kaito a cup, "Be careful next time."
He laughed softly as he took the offered cup, "I know" But that dreamhe drank slowly, letting the coolness go down his throat.
"Ah? Kaito? Habuka-kun? Akako-san?" Aoko blinked the last of sleep from her eyes and smiled at them, when she received a glass of ice water, she drank it down as Habuka and Akako explained to them what they missed.
It was little things like Kaito's mother and Aoko's father coming by and giving the doctors and nurses a headache. But that was just Inspector Nakamori giving them the hard time. And that since Kaito's and Aoko's wounds were minor, they could be released whenever they awoke.
As Aoko, went behind a curtain to change into clothes offered to her, Akako whispered, "You saw that man didn't you?"
Kaito turned to her slowly, and nodded, "Yeah"
"We think he is connected with Jodie-sensai," Habuka said softly.
"" Kaito said nothing as Aoko came back dressed in a simple white shirt and jean shorts.
She blinked at everyone, as if wondering why there was such a tension in the atmosphere, "What? What's wrong?"
Kaito gazed at the bandage on Aoko's wound and couldn't help but feel guilty about it. He had been told it was minor and Aoko wasn't in any danger but Kaito couldn't help but feel remorse. If that man started the fire, and Jodie-sensai's knowing glanceshe smiled, mask fit perfectly in place, "Of course. Everything is fine." He took a plain blue shirt and jeans suppiled to him before standing to change into them, his own words echoing in his mind, Everything is fine. Is it?
A woman hidden in the shadows chuckled softly to herself, "Gin," she smiled, "Have you found anything about the Pandora gem? Or Kaito Kid?"
Gin shook his head, "We're still looking for the Pandora gem. But are you having fun? Teasing the Kaito Kid?"
"Oh" the woman put mocking remorse on her face, "You make it sound like I'm a bad person"
"" Gin turned and walked out of the room.
The woman smiled softly as she took out a blood red rose, then in a flash she took out a knife and sliced the head clean off. She put the flat of the knife thoughtfully to her lips, "Well" she smirked, "Kuroba KaitoKaito KidLet's play a game. Who will get the Pandora gem first?"
"Eh?!" Edogawa Conan glared up at the grinning Hattori Heiji, "So you just decided to come and visit?!"
"Sure!" Heiji grinned, "What's wrong with that?"
"" Conan had the urge to say, 'Everything' but decided against it as Ran and Toyama Kazuha entered the room.
"Thanks again for letting us stay! Sorry if it was so sudden" Kazuha glared at Heiji as she said this, "It was this ahou's idea."
Ran smiled, "No rpoblem Kazuha-chan."
Heiji frowned at Kazuha before whispering in Conan's ear, "Oi Kudo, why we are here is because of the organization that shrunk you"
"Eh?" Conan's eyes widened, "Where?! How?!"
Heiji picked up Conan under his arm like a sack or potatoes and dashed off, yelling after him, "We'll be right back!"
"HeHeiji!" Kazuha called after them.
Ran watched them run off, confused, "Conan-kun?!"
"Are you sure?!" Conan asked, surprised.
"Yeah" Heiji crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back in his chair as they waited for their food at a resturant (A/N: I was hungry when I wrote that! So sue me! Wait...No!), "A letter saying in English, A game to win for immortal life was given to the police station in Osaka and then sent here in Tokyo. Though there was no name I'm guessing it's the Black Organization because there was a suspicious in black with blonde hair. The police found out the figure put a bomb there but it was deactivated."
Conan frowned down at the food the waitress put in front of him, "Then it could have been themThe game for immortality?"
"We need to talk about Jodie-sensai and that man in black," Kaito said near to Conan and Heiji, he stuck his hands in his pockets, looking at Habuka.
Heiji turned to Conan, "Kudo"
But Conan wasn't paying attention. Jodie-sensaithe man in black? Either they were very good actors for the Black Organization or they really knew something! "Ran did say Jodie-sensai left for awhile"
Kaito clenched his fists in his pockets, "A lot of things are starting to make sense"
"Onii-chan!" Conan ran up to him and put on a mask of child innocence, "I heard youneed help! I'm a detective! And so is Heiji-nii-chan!" Conan pointed to the approaching Osakan visitor, "What's the problem?"
Habuka raised an eyebrow at the "little boy" claiming to be a detective. Isn't that the kid when we met at Sunset Mansion? (A/N: See volume 31 for that.)
Kaito, a bit surprised, simply stared. In his mind, the appearance of Edogawa Conan triggered memories from his dream. Edogawa Conan. Kudo Shinichi. Dream. Hattori Heiji. Dream. Aoko in dream dying. Black "Wait!" he turned and dashed off, everyone else after him.
Aoko, Aoko, was all he could think about, Black Organization! Jodie-sensai's knowing glances! Aoko!! As soon as he got to the Nakamori residence, he stopped. Eyes wide, all he could say was, "No"
Aoko's door was wide open, having been slammed out of it's hinges, and there was no sign of Aoko anywhere!
"Kuroba," Habuka ran up to him and stared at the scene, "Masaka"
Heiji and Conan caught up and frowned, The Black organization had been here
"No! Aoko!" Kaito cried, dashing into the house. As he ran up the stairs, Kaito was mentally screaming, Not Aoko! They didn't take Aoko!! He burst into her bedroom and looked around. There didn't seem Aoko had stuggled but he could sense objects had been put back in place, the entire room just had that chilling aura everywhere. Then he noticed a piece of paper on her desk. With shaking fingers, Kaito began to read it.
The others came into the room just in time to see Kaito angrily rip up the note before dropping himself on the floor.
Conan saw a piece of the note still in tack, 'Kaito Kid.'
Kaito stared blankly at the floor, the note's words echoing, 'If you want her back. Find the gem of immortality Kuroba Kaito, noKaito Kid ne?'
