Author's Note: Okay! The fourth chapter! Has it been getting interesting so far? I hope so! I've been working hard on this story!! Please review! And I was informed I've been spelling Hakuba's name "Habuka" by Noreen-san! Thank you very much! I'm sorry for making that silly mistake. =_____= But Rosethorn-chan reviewed! *waves at her* Hi!! Oh! And for people who want to see the match between Heiji and Okita, I need the time to write it. ^^;; Please be patient with me.

*~1412 and the Pandora Gem~*

"Look at this!" Heiji cried happily, "I found it!"

Hakuba came up to him, "Thank goodness. There are a mountain of books here!"

Agasa-sensai laughed uneasily, "I wasn't sure where that kind of information would be"

"Well anyway," Heiji began, as Hakuba and Agasa-sensai crowded around him, "The Pandora gem is a legend. Says here it's inside a larger gem so you have to put it to the moon to see it inside. If it is the Pandora gem, a certain comet comes to Earth and makes the Pandora gem cry tears of immortality. So that means"

"That's why the Black Organization want it so much," a voice finished. Everyone turned to the voice and was greeted with Kudo Shinichi!

"Who's that?" Hakuba asked bluntly, That looks like that little kid Conan!

"Ah, Kudo ya!" Heiji grinned, "So any clues on where the Pandora gem is located?"

Shinichi shook his head, "I don't know where it is. But I think we should have the girls with us."

"Shinichi-kun?" Agasa-sensai asked, surprised, Ai-kun must have an anditote then. Has she grown too?

Heiji swore, "The Black Organization! Of course! We have to go! Thanks Agasa-sensai! " He dashed out, Hakuba and Shinichi not far behind him.

"Kazuha!" Heiji burst into the Mori Detective Agency, "Oi! Where are you?!"

"Mou!" she appeared and frowned, "Don't be so loud ahou! Someone is hurt."

Hakuba stepped forward while Shinichi stayed to the side, unnoticed, "Who?"

She turned and signaled them to follow, "You'll see." They followed her to the living room when Ran almost ran into them, bandages in her hands.

"Are?" she blinked, "Hattori-kun? Who's that?" she pointed to Hakuba before turning her attention to Shinichi. Her eyes widened a bit, "ShiShinichi?"

He smiled softly and stepped forward, "Ran" he watched guilt faced when she almost dropped the bandages in her hands.

Ran had mixed emotions. Beat him up. I missed him. Beat him upI missed him, "Hhow?"

Shinichi looked at the ground, "I was worried." He looked up, "I'll tell you everything later. Is it alright if you wait?"

Hakuba raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to Heiji, "I don't know how but that's the little boy Conan huh?" he whispered. Heiji wanted to say something but his silence proved Hakuba's theory correct so he just followed Kazuha to the couch and was surprised at what he saw. It was the Kaito Kid! His top hat and monocole were still on, hiding his face a bit and his shoulders were bandaged under his bloodied, tattered suit. "Oi!" Heiji called to the others, "Look!"

Shinichi smiled at Ran and whispered, "I promise I'll tell you." Making her nod, teary eyed but happily smiling none the less. He walked to where Heiji was and blinked in surprise. Kid the Phantom thief?!

Hakuba looked at the girls, "What happened?"

"We were looking for Hattori-kun and Conan-kun but found Kid the Phantom thief instead," Ran said casually, like it was normal.

"Should we?" Heiji looked at the others before shaking his head, "We should try catching him on better fairer grounds ya?" Hakuba reluctantly nodded while Shinichi noticed did look like Kuroba Kaito

Kid's eyes opened slowly and focused on them all watching him before making a move to sit up but wincing, "You"

"We bandaged your wounds," Ran and Kazuha said matter of factly.

"Sou desu," Kid frowned and touched his hat, as if thinking it wouldn't be there.

"And no one knows your identity," the 3 detectives said sighing.

Kid smiled as he tried to lift himself up, only wincing in the process, so he leaned back and sighed. He looked at him curiously, rubbing his side, "Why didn't you see who I really am? It would have been easier for you."

"Because you're hurt," Ran said, Kazuha nodding in agreement, "The detectives can catch you when you are better."

Kid blinked slowly before looking forward, face blank, I wonder if Aoko would say the same thing he looked away, Aoko

"Why were you beaten up like that?" Hakuba asked, a bit concerned. No one has ever done that to the Kid before

The Phantom thief was quiet a moment before looking at the group of people areound him. He sat up despite the pain and said softly, "Something was stolen from me"

That caught Shinichi's attention. He turned to Heiji who nodded. Then he is

Kid stood and was fixing his tattered clothes, walking toward the door, "I need to go," he turned to them and grinned, "Thank you for your help." He stepped outside and closed the door behind him.

"Wait a minute!" Shinichi, Heiji, and Hakuba ran to the door and went outside, but there wasn't a sign of the Phantom thief.

Kaito Kid walked home slowly, holding his left shoulder. He was surprised when Akako appeared before him, "Eh?"

She handed him a small vial, "I promise it's not cursed. It'll help if you're wounded," she looked at him holding his shoulder, "But I think I'm a bit late."

He chuckled lightly, "You're quite good in understatement," he took the offered vial, "Do you have an idea where the Pandora gem is?" He asked as he drank from the vial, feeling refreshed and healed. "I thought black magic wasn't in the healing category" he said aloud thoughtfully, putting the rest of the potion in his jacket.

"It isn't," she smirked at his surprised look, "I had to bend a few rules to make it." She looked down frowning, "But the Pandora gem"

He looked up from inspecting his healed shoulders, "Hm?" He put the bandages in his pocket.

"The Pandora gem" Akako said, her bangs hiding her face, "is"
