Still A Father, Still A Teacher

A/N: Hey guys, this is supposed to go along with my poem One In The Same. Hope you guys like it.

Kaitou KID off the roof after having successfully stolen the Queen's Pearl. He sighed as he swooped down and landed. He walked in his father's lab after having checked the jewel for being Pandora.

'Once again a dud,' he thought wearily. He plopped down on the couch after throwing his silk hat on the desk along with his monocle. He sat back and rubbed his eyes. After stretching for a couple of moments he took off the KID suit, once again switching identities and becoming Kaito Kuroba.

"I really am switching identities," he said to himself out loud. "Kaito and KID are separate people. One just a normal high school student, the other a famous Phantom Thief."

'But both in love with Nakamori Aoko.'

She had been at the heist, cheering her father on and yelling at the thief. He had noticed she had started coming more frequently to the heists. Kaito would have to talk to her about that. He went up to his room and dropped onto his bed.

'I wonder what she's doing now.'

The pair had started to get even closer then they had been before. He had realized it was a bad idea, or rather, KID had realized. He wanted to distance himself from the girl. But Kaito just couldn't allow that. Although he wanted to protect her Kaito just couldn't stay away from her. His eyes widened just a bit. When had he begun to refer to himself in the third person? He sighed and closed his eyes.

'When I started trying to separate Kaito from KID,' he thought. 'Or have they always been separate?' He really didn't know anymore. The boy soon drifted off to sleep.

Dream

Kaito ran through a thick mist. Where he was or what he was running from he didn't know. He just felt the need to run. The mist suddenly cleared and Kaito saw his father standing there in his white tuxedo.

"Dad!" Kaito called.

"Kaito you need to realize," Touchi Kuroba said.

"Realize what?"

"You're not just Kaito Kuroba anymore, but KID as well," Touchi responded.

"No, they're not! KID and I are separate!" Kaito pleaded.

"No son, KID and Kaito are part of the same person."

"No they're not! KID's a thief! He'll never be Kaito Kuroba!" Kaito yelled angrily.

"Tell me Kaito," Touchi asked. "When I died and you put on the suit did KID mourn my death?"

"Well yes."

"That was you Kaito. You have to understand that KID has the same feelings. You will both do the same thing in the same situation. That's because you have the same mind."

"We're the same person," Kaito finished. His father smiled proudly and nodded.

"No matter hat cards you hold in your hand," Touchi said.

"Always use Poker Face," Kaito said as the dream faded.

End Dream

Kaito woke up with a start. He thought a little bit about what his father had told him. He had wanted his first kiss with Aoko to be by Kaito, not KID but now it didn't matter. He quickly jumped out the window and went over to Aoko's house. He woke her up and explained everything to her. After a big round of yelling and crying from her Aoko found her way into Kaito's arms. Kaito gave gave Aoko her first kiss.

'Well what do you know,' Kaito thought. 'My dad still has things to teach me after all.'
