Takato: Hello one and all to my lovely story of Sun and the Moon. XD I hope you haven't freaked out too badly over me not updating when I should have.

I'm aware I should have updated over the weekend, but that's alright.

I'm also happy that after I brought up chapter 5, I think some of you went back and actually read it. XD It's caught up with the other chapter's, so I'm glad you gave the poor officer's a chance. I mean, heck, they are entertaining. 'Course, I'd personally really like to know when you as a fan of the show first noticed Takagi-keiji. I mean… He sort of felt like a new character when I realized he was actually there, but by that episode, he'd been in the show for a long time. So.. what were your personal first reactions to Takagi-keiji/other officer's when you first noticed them? XD Just out of personal curiosity.

I'm glad you all seemingly received my KID note well. I was unsure of it..I'll explain it next chapter (since I failed to do so here..)

After this chapter, depending on how things turn out, I think I may have one chapter left after this.

So yup, that's right.

This ride is almost finished. X3 Hope you're ready.

Disclaimer: Conan would like you all to know that Takato doesn't own Detective Conan, and if she did, the murder mysteries in the show wouldn't come out nearly as mysterious or zany as some of them that occur. Conan would also like you to know she doesn't own anything of Mae's or Emery's. Enjoy!

Aoko and Kaito

She stared at Kaito's notes feeling as though the air had been knocked out of her. Aoko didn't know why, but somehow, she could almost feel a disturbing sense of knowledge and rightness over the actual thought that this 8-year old boy named Conan, and the great detective of the west, Kudo Shinichi, were the same person.

She noticed a picture clipping of the boy, taken from a seemingly high angle, as if from a tree or building. After staring at the picture, and taking in his features, she turned to Kaito with a strangely enlightened, and yet absolutely confused look, "Kaito… Where in the world did you get the idea that Conan is...?"

He looked to her, smiling somewhat remorseful, "Shinichi? Well, I think I pretty much explained it in my noted but… I suppose I could tell you about the moment I came up with the notion. But Aoko… you have to promise not to be mad at me, and to listen through my story, and even more without putting me through a wall, ok?"

Aoko blinked, "What do you mean…?"

Kaito's eyes, though sad, lit up slightly as he turned to his window, resting his chin on his palm, "Aoko… The only reason I ever noticed this kid, let alone having been able to track him and see him 'at work'… is because I'm the Kaitou KID."

She froze. What…? But… how? She had been with him more than once during a heist, and had given him a complete alibi! How could he..?

"Why..? How Kaito..? how could you..?" Tears gathered into the corners of her eyes, being too overwhelmed to get upset at the moment, and Kaito… the way he looked was just so…

Kaito looked to her, "I'll tell you just as soon as I finish telling you about Conan. Beside's... I could really use your help with a magic show I'm putting on soon. It has absolutely nothing with thieving, though it does involve Kudo and KID. But that's for then."

Aoko slowly nodded, feeling too shocked to be angry. What was it with Kaito that he could infuriate her, and yet do the most bizarre things and snap her into silence..?

Kaito nodded as well, smirking as he stretched, feeling a bit better, though very weary of Aoko. "Alright then. This is how it all began. It began on complete chance, with the Suzuki's precious Black Star…"

He looked at a picture of the Black Star with a bored interest. It wasn't something he felt would be the Pandora but… He decided with the lore behind it, he might as well.

They always say to leave no stone unturned, right?

So, the night of the heist started, adrenaline rushed into his veins, and he clicked his glider into place. He then clicked the usual button, and with a 'Ch-ping!' the glider opened and he flew.

He smiled, confident, and yet…

There was something that told him that today was going to be special.

Little did he know just how special that thing was.

As he got closer to his destination, he suddenly noticed a small figure hunched over something on his landing roof.

He, for a split moment was surprised, before feeling a sense of slight confusion.

He landed, his smile having never left his face as he landed right in front of the figure.

The figure, of whom was a young boy of all things, was looking at him, a cell phone clutched in his hand, and a shocked-yet expectant look on his face.

The boys features changed within moments from confusion to complete control.

This was his first tip off to the bells in the back of his head to begin ringing. Something was seriously wrong with this kid. He jumped of the stairwell roof, and proceeded to walk towards the boy, watching him as the boy seemingly studied and calculated him with an experienced gaze. "Yo, kid."

The boy by now had turned, and started playing with some sort of can, "What are you doing at a place like this?"

The boy lit what he now knew to be a firecracker, and shot it, before standing up to look up at him. He then spoke in a sickeningly sweet kid voice, "Fireworks."

Tip off two, kid had serious personality problems. He then watched expectantly out towards where the police were, "Look! A helicopter! It looks like they've seen us."

Kaito turned to the kid and grinned, "Kid, you're not an ordinary brat."

Then, the boy turned to him with a confident grin, "I'm Edogawa Conan, a Detective."

He felt himself snicker in the back of his mind, and yet, took note of 'Conan's' voice change, "Oooh?"

Conan still looked at him as though he'd already captured him, "Shouldn't you be worried Kaitou Kid-san? If you don't hurry, the helicopters will get here."

He put on an act of being contemplative, bringing a hand to his chin as thought thinking, "Hm." He then thought of his favorite trick, and pulled out a radio, watching as Conan got confused. He coughed, and in Officer Chaki's voice, spoke into the police radio, "This is Chaki. I have spotted Kaitou Kid on the rooftop of Haido City Hotel. Come to the area immediately!"

Conan was shocked.

Kaito then impersonated Nakamori-keibu, and internally giggled as he was sure Nakamori was having a fit.

Conan was speechless.

"Are you satisfied now, little detective?"

It was then Nakamori burst in, "Freeze, Kid!"

Kaito perked up a bit, "My, my! If it isn't Nakamori-keibu. You sure move fast."

Nakamori hmphed, "What are you saying? You knew I had deciphered your message and had been waiting here all day. I predicted you'd fly here using your hang glider. I even tightened security around here. Who would've known you'd fly here from Touto Tower? But in any case, give up on that pearl already. You've nowhere to run."

He smirked still, "Tonight was just a practice drill. I have no intention of stealing it."

"What?"

Kaito felt himself get more amused as he released his hang glider, "Oh? I'm sure I made clear at the top of the note. I said "April Fool" as in "a joke." He clicked his belt into place.

Nakamori yelled to the others, "Don't let him fly away! Get him!"

Just as all of the officers made a dash to play 'dog pile on the bandit' he dropped a small little sphere from his shirt cuff.

Conan saw it.

Light burst out from the flash bomb he'd released, "Yo kid, did you know? A thief is a creative artist who takes his prey in style, but a detective is nothing more than a critic who follows in our footsteps."

Conan was struggling through the light to bear it and not loose sight of him, "What?"

And then he disappeared, changing costume and leaving behind a note of when he would steal the real thing.

And only the real thing.

i know (i know)
if you stay (if you stay)
this will be (this will)
ours to take (be ours to take)
Aoko watched Kaito as he retold the story, finally simply accepting the fact Kaito was KID.

For the moment anyway.

He did say he needed help with something, so why not?

Kaito sighed, "After that, I monitored his house, and after a while noticed that some other interesting individuals were monitoring him. One of them being an FBI agent…or 3."

Aoko blinked, the FBI was watching Conan..? "Why would they..?"

Kaito shook his head, "I don't know. I may have pretty much solid proof of who Conan is.. But that doesn't mean I understand anything else. It's not like I've gone up to him on the way home from school and asked, "Hey Conan! Why aren't you Shinichi?" or something like that, you know? He's never actually met me."

Aoko slowly nodded, "But I still don't get how you made this notion that he's…"

Kaito smiled, "A while back… do you remember when KID was snipered at? The time with that whole.. Memory egg heist?"

Aoko thought it over a moment, "I think so."

"During that whole fiasco, I was able to watch him outside of someone who was 'close' to him. I made sure to follow him, and was practically told directly that my suspicions were correct."

Aoko blinked, "How?"

Kaito grinned, perching himself in a bizarre position only he could find comfy, "Hattori Heiji called him 'Kudo' repetitively- even while chasing me when I was shot at."

It was in that moment Aoko came to the realization of just how much danger Kaito had gone through and survived.

She then found herself get angry, and yet, the emotion was completely taken over by a feeling of helplessness and sorrow.

She cried.

inside i (i feel)
am overwhelmed (so good)
from holding back (i want)
but know that this won't be forever (you for all my days, but tonight...)
Ran

She sighed as she sat in the large library in Shinichi's home, simply taking the time to soak in the past, and to soak in the feeling of home she still felt from that place.

Home.

Shinichi.

She felt her eyes slowly close, and for a while, thought she was asleep, when she suddenly heard a 'shfft-kh' from the hallway.

Or more like Shinichi's front door.

Her mind struggled for a moment to wake up when she suddenly picked up a female voice whispering, though more like a hushed yell, "Kaito! What are we doing here? You just-!"

The other hushed her, "Calm down, I've done this a few times before. Beside's, I'm pretty sure the guy'll practically have kittens when he finds out I've been though his room more than once."

The female seemingly paused, "YOU'VE LOOKED THROUGH HIS STUFF!"

Kaito 'eeped' and started shooshing her, "Don't yell like that, stupid!"

Ran very quickly picked up that their relationship was somehow alike to Heiji and Kazuha's, and decided to make her presence known. She got up from the study chair, and slowly opened the library door, "Uhm…"

Both jumped and looked at her, "Eh!" It was Kaito who recovered first and, although startled, smiled and went over to her, "Mouri-neechan! How do you do?"

Ran took a few more steps into the hall, taking in his friend's disgruntled appearance and smiled slightly, "I'm fine but… What are you doing breaking into Shinichi's house…?"

Kaito blinked, and scaughed, "Breaking into? We just came over to warm up the house. Some woman names Yukiko has asked me to come over here and make sure the dust doesn't settle too much every once in a while."

Ran blinked, and the other girl seemed particularly skeptical of this excuse, which for some reason, she actually felt herself believing, "Uhm… who's your friend?"

Kaito blinked and looked back to the girl for a moment before smiling sheepishly, "Oh, that's just Aoko."

Aoko huffed, "Just Aoko, huh?"

And suddenly Aoko had a mop in her hand, and was threatening Kaito with it, "Make a comment like that again and I'll…"

Ran stepped in, laughing nervously, "Uhm… please don't get violent here… There's expensive stuff and…"

It was then Aoko seemingly noticed that she was practically standing in a mansion and went limp, looking around the house in shock.

Kaito sighed, relieved before turning to Ran, "So neechan… What are you doing here..?"

Ran smiled slightly, "Just visiting."

Kaito nodded, "Ah. Well.. I'm gonna go fix up a few things upstairs so.. If you two don't mind talking or something…"

Aoko seemed to be oblivious still and Ran nodded as Kaito went up the stairs into the second floor…

i can't stay here
you can't ask me
just so you would know
Nakamori

He stared at the note laying innocently on his desk. It was black with silver writing- unusual for a note…

Especially for a KID note..

Yet, for some off reason, he didn't feel his usual rage this time while looking at it.

Nope.

Why might you ask?

The next KID appearance was going to occur on the same day as Kaito's Magic Show, and not JUST that…

But That was the day Kudo Shinichi disappeared…

And Toichii Kuroba was killed.

He sighed, rubbing his dark hair, wanting to take a smoke, but feeling to lazy to do so.

No one ever wanted to believe him when he said Toichii had been killed, and the only others who seemed to come up with that same assumption were Mrs. Kuroba, and Kaito.

Oh yes.

He knew Kaito knew that Toichii didn't just die from some screw up.

But to the extent… he had no idea.

Damn the Poker Face Toichii was so famed for.

It was already too late for Kuroba Kaito.

Far far too late to stop him from being what his father was…

Perhaps even to late to keep him from dieing mysteriously himself…

Oh yes.

He knew.

He knew this next KID visit would be far more bizarre than any other.

Oh yes.

He knew that death was sneaking around every corned just waiting…

Waiting to nab one of them…

To cause more sadness to 2 families which had already lost so much in their lives.

Yes.

Too much.

Takato: and one more chapter left, the FINAL chapter (Or I sure as HECK hope so!) to Sun and the Moon. Uhm… I really hope that you check out my one shot In a Loose, Loose Situation (I may do a one shot to the partner song, In a Win, Win Situation). Some of my Ending may be based around that chapter. I'm not sure.

The next chapter will basically consist of Conan discovering Kaito's past, the 'Show' Kaito/Kid & Aoko? is putting on, and… yeah. We'll see what happens after that.

Look out for my One shot's!

Oh, Final note: I know the Nakamori part was really… an opposing emotion to the rest of the chapter but.. O.o0 I couldn't figure out what to do so, I decided to set up for the drama coming up.

Hope to see your reviews soon! X3

R&R

And as always

Shinjitsu wa Itsumo Hitotsu!

There is Only One Truth!
