The day after Aoko's small scene, she seemed like her old self. Sort of.
But there seemed to be a new fire burning in her when she chased Kaito around the room the next morning. She almost caught him twice and he felt the air rushing by his ear when the mop came down. He was more exhausted by the time the teacher told them that that was enough than he usually was.
"You're feeling better Aoko?" Kaito asked at lunch, not wanting to bring up what happened after school since it seemed that she had 'forgotten' about it.
"Yes!" Aoko said cheerfully, taking a little rice in her mouth. One part of her plan to help capture the KID was going into effective:if all else failed, chase him with a mop till he came down. She knew that the KID could dodge better than Kaito, but Kaito was a great pratice dummy. Escpecailly since he didn't know. She smirked. "So," she said to Kaito non-chantatly when's the next KID heist?"
Kaito almost choked on his food and glanced up at her. Does she know!
"I thought you knew all about the KID?" Aoko answered his stare.
He sighed. "I dunno...probably next week or something. You should ask your dad. He would get the letters before the press did." he gave her a weary look. "Why do you want to know?"
She bowed her head with a light tent to her face. "I...I wanted to go..." she studdered slightly. "Too protest him! Someone has to!" she slightly slumped into her usual slouch she ususally would when talking about how people would cheer the phantom thief on.
He smiled inwardly. That's my Aoko.
They got into an agrument about the KID neither really trying to win the other over.
