The exclusively Kid Snippets were removed from ff.net a while back. Need to post them here.
-after our tech guy stops throwing computers and monitors across the room maybe... o_O *hides*
*** Ever read Jeff Smith's 'Bone' comic? ***
The Kaitou Kid sneaks out onto a little itty-bitty fragile looking ledge over looking a river. "Ha! There's no way those cops would follow me out here!"
He blinks. The cops have followed him out on to the ledge.
The ledge begins to crumble.
"STUPID STUPID POLICE OFFICERS!"
~SPLASH!~
*** A little bit of inside knowledge can be fun ***
"C'mon, Aoko!" Kaito grinned. "We've got to study for that test tonight! No rest for the wicked and all that!"
Aoko raised an eyebrow towards her enthusiastic best friend. "And you're wicked?"
"More than you know." Hakuba snickered.
*** Catch me catch me, catch you! ***
"Someone's going to catch you yet!" Hakuba roared as the Kid launched himself of the building.
"Someone already has!" The Kid shouted back with a grin. "She just doesn't know it yet!"
Aoko paused next to Hakuba as the 2 of them watched the thief disappear into the distance. "What does he mean by that?" She asked, puzzled.
Hakuba just sweatdropped.
*** Stray thought ***
Aoko walks up and kisses Kaito on the cheek.
Kaito blushes, gets a dopey grin on his face and walks into a wall.
Akako walks up and kisses Kaito on the cheek.
Kaito gives her a strange look and wipes his cheek off with the back of one sleeve when he's sure she's not looking.
Hakuba walks up and-
On second thought, let's not go there.
*** Stray thought: Flip side ***
Kaito walks up to Aoko and kisses her on the cheek.
Aoko blushes bright red, stammers for a second before going off to find her mop and chase him around the room.
Kaito walks up to Akako and kisses her on the cheek.
Akako grins, and tries to kiss back.
Kaito walks up to Hakuba and-
No, let's not go there either...
*** Kaitou Kid Message Service ***
On his face:
*Nakamori stumbles down the stairs, blurry-eyed from just waking up*
Aoko: Um, Dad? There's something on your face.
*Nakamori looks in the mirror*
Nakamori: AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!
Blimp:
Cop: How'd he change the text on the blimp?
Nakamori: Gaargh!
Take over Nakamori's favourite radio station:
Radio: And now we bring you something completely different, the Kaitou Kid's latest message!
Nakamori: Bwah!?
Mail:
Aoko *sorting mail*: Death threat, death threat, junk, Mop of the Month club -mine, junk, another death threat, message from Kaitou Kid... Dad, It's for you.
Nakamori: Agh! Why does he DO that?!
Windup Toy:
Mechanical Kid: Chika-chika-chicka- ::BOOM!::
*Toy explodes in a shower of sparks and confetti, leaving the message behind*
Nakamori: I'm really starting to hate him.
Written on a Rubber Duckie in the Bathtub:
Duckie: Squeak!
Nakamori: WAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
*** He ranks! ***
"Oooo..." Aoko stomped her foot, glaring at Kaito. "You are the SECOND most INFURIATING person on this Planet!!!"
"Second most?" His smile slipped slightly as it was replaced by a puzzled expression. "Who's the first?"
"The Kaitou Kid." Aoko growled, speeding up to charge ahead down the sidewalk.
Kaito grinned as he followed her, feeling somewhat accomplished that he ranked both first and second.
*** Actually a fan of these... ***
It was more annoying than claws down a chalkboard and louder than a pack of cats in heat. It was horrible. It was terrifying. It was-
Conan looked out the window and felt his jaw drop.
When the heck did the Kaitou Kid learn to play the bagpipes?!
*** Not gonna ask how he got them in the first place. ***
"Kaito?" Aoko blinked as her best friend appeared out of the bushes, wearing a very familiar large brown jacket and cap. "Why are you wearing Hakuba-kun's clothes?"
"Shhh. We're playing a game." He winked, shooting her a grin full of merry devilment.
She raised a suspicious eyebrow. "What game?"
"KUROBAAAAAAAAA!!!" Hakuba charged at the lithe magician, looking madder than a bull in a china shop. "Give me back my deerstalker!!!"
Kaito cheered, taking off running again. "Cops and Robbers!!!"
*** [sings] And I'm craaaazzzyyyy... just like yooouuu....***
"Wait a minute." Hakuba reached over and peered the deck of cards that Kaito was playing with in class. "Let me see those."
"Okay." Kaito shrugged and handed them over.
The British detective scowled and quickly flipped through them. "Ah-HA! I knew it!"
"Knew what?" Aoko asked, puzzled.
"There are some cards missing." Hakuba flashed them the card faces, a triumphant smirk on his face. "He's not playing with a full deck!"
Akako rolled her eyes. "We could have told you that."
*** Yup. ***
"You just have to have a sarcastic comment ready for everything, don't you?" Kaito smirked at Aoko.
The Dark Sorceress shrugged. "A girl's gotta get her kicks somehow."
*** Everyone has an off day sometimes. ***
"You have the right to shut your big yap." Sato growled, snapping the handcuff on the culprit. "If you do not shut your big yap, your big yap may get shut for you."
"Sato-san!" Takagi stared at his partner, a shocked expression on his face.
"Sorry." She apologised, a bit shame faced. "...It's been a long day."
*** Timing is everything ***
"I don't get it." The Kid griped out loud. "Why is everyone so surprised when they find I out that I might actually be a nice guy? I don't go around killing people, I cause minimum property damage and I'm polite to everyone."
"Oh, I don't know." Conan deadpanned. "Maybe it would work better if you said that when you -weren't- currently casually tossing tonight's heist from hand to hand?"
"... Oh."
*** They're not being pervy, they're just being good friends. ***
Hakuba looked down at the bound, gagged and unconscious Kaito at their feet, then up at mop wielding blue eyed girl who had just knocked out said magician. "Are you sure that was completely necessary?" He inquired.
"Yes." Aoko said firmly, a dangerous gleam in her eyes.
Akako raised a sceptical eyebrow.
"Kaito -hates- fish." Aoko explained, a hint of impatience in her tone. "We're going to the Aquarium today for the school field trip. THIS won't even last getting him through the door."
Hakuba and Akako exchanged looks and rapidly reached a decision.
"I'll go grab some handcuffs and duct tape." Hakuba volunteered as he quickly walked off.
Akako agreed, quickly following the blond detective's lead. "I think I have a straight jacket somewhere..."
*** [sings] right about now, I am the sexist man in Jamaica. The girls love me and I shall never grow old... ***
"Agasa-hagsei is asleep." Ayumi said softly, peering at the older scientist, who had his head on his desk, snoring softly.
"He was up late last night." Ai agreed, fetching an afghan and placing it over his shoulders.
"Hmm." Ayumi nodded, helping to tuck him in. She paused a minute, then ran a small hand over the cloud of hair at the back of Agasa's head. "His hair is so soft and long..." She marvelled.
Ai snorted, crossing her arms. "I keep saying he needs a haircut." She grumbled.
Ayumi paused for a moment, then smiled, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a small handful of ribbons. Ai looked on curiously as the small girl then started to separate the white hair into easily to hold strands and began to plait it. "What are you doing?"
"Braiding his hair." Ayumi said innocently. "I've got some ribbons, and I thought they'd look pretty in his hair."
Ai paused for a moment, then a slow smile spread across her face. "How many ribbons do you have, Ayumi-chan?"
"Lots."
"Perfect." She smirked. "I wonder how many braids we can put his hair into?"
*** He's not the only one. ***
Hakuba paused and checked his watch for the fifth time in so many minutes. Aoko blinked, looking at him with concern. "Is something wrong, Hakuba-kun?"
"I'm waiting." He said seriously, his eyebrows crinkling down in a frown.
"For what?" She asked innocently.
"Kuroba-kun." He closed his watch with a snap. "I managed to out-quip him this morning, and his counter strike should be coming along right about now."
Right on cue, Kaito went running past, waving a rubber hose over his head like it was a live dangerous snake. "EEENNNNEEEEMMMMAAAA!!!"
They stared at the magician's retreating back moment, then Hakuba turned around and began to walk away, looking much like he had just bit into a lemon. "It's official. I am disturbed now..."
*** Silly WAFF won't leave me alone. Blargh. ***
Kaito had been quiet all day. Too quiet. It was starting to get on Aoko's nerves.
It was almost like he was depressed. But Kaito was never depressed.
Usually if she was depressed, he'd do something to cheer her up, like have her chase him around the room, or give her flowers, or something.
But she couldn't exactly do that for him, could she?
He stopped in front of her house, his head slightly bowed as it had been all day, his eyes distant, as if they were turned inward to something she couldn't see. "Then I'll see you tomorrow, Aoko." He commented as if on autopilot.
She stopped behind him, leaning forward to rest her forehead on one of his shoulders. She was leaning close enough that they weren't actually touching, but a slight shift on either parts would change that. "Kaito..."
He swallowed, the first reaction she'd gotten out of him all day. "Yeah?"
"You know I'm your friend, right?" She asked softly. "If there's anything I can do to help, you know all you have to do is say something, right?"
There was a pause, and she was afraid she might have said too much. Then he let out a long breath, his muscles relaxing. "Yeah. Yeah, I do. Thanks, Aoko, I needed that."
She smiled. "You're welcome." She gently tapped him on the back with the side of a fist. "Now get out of here, we have homework to do."
"Right." He stepped away, much to her minor dismay, shooting her a grin that had nothing to do with mischief and everything to do with happiness. He handed her a flower that appeared out of nowhere. "Thanks again."
She accepted the flower with a grin of her own. "Anytime."
He shot her another grin and a cheerful wave as he started back down the street, a bounce back in his step. Aoko watched him go, half aware that there was probably a sappy grin on her face but not caring.
Sometimes everyone needed to be reminded that they weren't alone.

Some of the scene breaks are song titles. One is 'Crazy' by Bare Naked Ladies, and another one is 'Sexiest Man In Jamaica' by Mint Royale. Don't own them, but the songs are amusing.
And once again, Hakuba gets picked on. Poor Hakuba, we're actually becoming a fan of him...
