Chapter 6
Everything was perfect…
Until it wasn't…
.
…
.
Kaito didn't know what happened to change his perfect life with Shinichi, to one of heartache and pain and longing. Everything was perfect that was true, he was happy and content and he had an amazing Alpha who always had his back in his heists as Kaitou Kid and in their normal life as a mated couple. Kaito didn't know when their perfect life took a change for the worst, probably the beginning is a good place to start as any, and maybe for them, it was the middle or the end… but one thing was true, that by the end of the day Kaito was left alone with no mate, no child, rarely talking to his friends… he was left alone.
It was perfect, the day that he met Shinichi for the first time in years… just him and Shinichi, no Conan or one of his noisy friends. He remembered their kiss, the happiness he felt, being content for the first time in years, feeling safe… with Shinichi moving to Ekoda and leaving Beika behind, Kaito never knew why his mate left his only home, but for the Omega, it didn't matter, especially when it meant that the Alpha will be near him.
Everything was perfect, the Alpha was charming, he was caring, loving, understanding, he never made Kaito feel like he couldn't do anything just because he was an Omega, he never tatters at Kaito because he was Kid, he understood Kaito's reason for being Kid, even helped him at times by posing as Kaitou Kid and doing his shows when Kaito was suspected by Hakuba and the police forces.
They were happy, with Shinichi graduating from high school with him at the same time and planning to go to Beika University, Kaito for engineering that will help him in his magic shows later, while Shinichi chose criminology to pursue his dream of being a detective… his mother even met Shinichi and squeal for two hours about how she was so happy for them, especially when Kaito showed her the engagement ring that Shinichi presented to him, just a simple blue sapphire ring, but it meant the world to Kaito.
At that time, Kaito never knew why Shinichi never talked about his parents, why he never mentions them in passing, why they never visited Shinichi when everyone knows that the two of them got engaged only six months of dating, everyone called Kaito and Shinichi crazy, how they got engaged so young and after such a little time of getting to know each other, after all, six months was a short time to get to know the person you will share your life with, but Kaito didn't care, he knows what he wants and Shinichi too, the two of them can think of no one to spend the rest of their lives with other than each other.
Kaito was naïve at that time, thinking that Shinichi was not talking with his parents because he was still angry that the two of them weren't here when he returned to his body, so Kaito thought that the news of Shinichi's engagement will make everything right once more, so when they went to the Kudou's mansion he asked Shinichi to call his parents…
.
…
.
"Come on, for me!" Kaito remembered begging, his arms around Shinichi's neck as he looked at the Alpha who was trying to ignore the Omega and concentrate on the book in his hands. "It means a lot to me, Shinichi…" That was Kaito's last trick, and it seemed it was effective as Shinichi sighed and closed the book in his hands, turning his eyes to Kaito.
"It really means a lot to you, doesn't it?" Shinichi asked which made Kaito grin happily and nod his head fast, making the Alpha sighs and stand up. "Fine, but you have to stay here." That got a pout from Kaito and he was about to argue but Shinichi narrows his eyes at him. "If you won't then I won't call them." That threat made Kaito shut up and look away from Shinichi, but the Alpha shook his head and kissed his cheek gently making the omega lose the pout on his face and give a small smile to the Alpha. "I will be back soon." Shinichi said as he left the library, as soon as the Alpha did it, Kaito grin mischievously and got his phone out of his pocket opening it on an app he created and connect it to Shinichi's phone… the Alpha doesn't need to know about Kaito spying on him sometimes, besides he only does it when Shinichi is chasing serial killers without backup like he always does, leaving Kaito shivering in fear that his mate will die this time.
So with a grin Kaito raised his phone to his ear and held his breath of anticipation waiting for the call to connect, heart pounding in his chest, Kaito had to hold his squeal as the phone was picked up and the sound of Kudou Yukiko was heard from the other end of the line.
"Hello, who is this?"
Yukiko's words as she answered the phone made Kaito frown, why would she ask that question when she already has Shinichi's number. "… It's me, Okaa-San." Shinichi's hesitant voice made Kaito frown and lean on the wall behind him to listen more closely to the call.
"Shin-Chan? Oh, how wonderful! I didn't know it was you; did you change your number? Well, that doesn't matter, a great time for calling, shin-Chan!"
Yukiko's chatters made Kaito take his phone away from his ear and frown at it before returning it, and had to stop himself from rolling his eyes as the woman started complaining about how she thinks that Yuusaku was cheating on her… Shinichi told him that his mother always excuses his father of cheating ever since he was six. "Okaa-San…" Shinichi's harsh voice made Kaito flinch, and bite his lip; he never heard the Alpha talk this harshly to anyone other than criminals. "Can you please hear me out? I really have something important to tell you…" Shinichi's tired and pleading voice made Kaito straighten himself.
"OK… what do you want to tell me?"
Yukiko's voice made Kaito frown a little, but the sigh he heard from Shinichi made him want to search for the Alpha and pull him in his arms. "I… I got engaged." Shinichi's self-conscious voice made Kaito's heart give a pang and he had to swallow and hold his breath waiting for Yukiko's response.
"Oh? Is that it, I already know that Shinichi, I read it in the newspapers, it was nice by the way, making it to the first page for three weeks in a row."
The silence that followed Yukiko's words was tense, and Kaito felt the hair on his body stand on its ends. "You already know… why didn't you say anything?" Shinichi's cold voice made him shiver, the realization of how Shinichi and his parents' relationship is, starts sinking, and he clicked his phone shut, not wanting to hear the rest of this conversation…
.
…
.
Shinichi came to him later with a false cheerful smile, pretending that everything was fine and that his family was happy for the two of them, and Kaito… Kaito could only past a smile on his face, not feeling any joy, in the hidden sadness he saw in Shinichi's eyes. His mother wondered why he hated the Kudou family so much, and how wouldn't he, when they did nothing other than neglect their son, never call him to ask how he was doing, only reading newspapers and ask the Alpha's friends about him, but never call him to ask him…
He couldn't forgive the people who left their thirteen years old alone and went for America, leaving him to fend for himself with no one to take care of him other than Agasa-Hakase, so what if Shinichi was a prime Alpha? Kaito was a prime Omega but his mother didn't leave him alone, and he knows how much she wanted to leave Japan after his father's death, but she stayed, for him more than anyone else, so Kaito always urge her to go out and see the world hoping to lessen the pain of his father's death, and the woman even then, only goes away for a total of three months a year, for every month, she will leave for a week and return home to him, never leaving him alone, and he was forever grateful for her…
His mother asked him to forgive the Kudou, but how can he forgive them, when one day, when he was going through Shinichi's old room to take what they needed for their home, he found an old shoebox filled with written notebook after notebook, they were old, they have some pages ripped from them, and some of the pages even have tear stains on them, and Kaito… Kaito could do nothing but sit inside the closet and read every one of the notebooks inside, beautiful stories that talked about princes and knights, detectives and thieves, magical worlds that took his breath away, and Shinichi was the one who wrote every story inside of the box, and no one read it until now, his Alpha never talked about his passion of writing, and the notebooks stopped when Shinichi reached the age of thirteen, he knew why…
His mother asks of him to forgive the Kudou, but how could he when they were the reason that Shinichi developed his fear of losing the people he loved. Shinichi, as much as the Alpha refuses to admit, he will attach himself to anyone who showed him a little bit of attention and praise, like how he attached himself to inspector Megure or Chikage or anyone who didn't compare him to his parents and shows that they care about him, look at Ai, for example, she showed him that she considered him as a friend, that she didn't compare him to anyone, that she will help… and he protected her with his life… literally. Shinichi's fear of losing his loved ones increases ten thousand volts after what happened to Kaito, to extend that he will do anything to protect him to death… which ironically he did.
Before everything went to shit, they were happy, even after Kaito was shoot, even after he was told that he could never have children, he refused to believe them after all doctors mess up with diagnosing patients a lot of times. And Kaito had to prove it, to himself and Shinichi, so he stopped using suppressants and contraception, he didn't care about having a child so young, he just wanted one child to prove to everyone that he was right all along, he didn't tell Shinichi at first, knowing that the Alpha was still grieving, that he was still blaming himself no matter what Kaito tried to tell him that it wasn't his fault, especially when the doctors came to their room the second day from Kaito's waking up, 'Advising' him that he should go through the operation that will remove his womb, that way he could never have any heats or torture himself and his body when he falls into one, he remembers that he was shocked, couldn't move and speak from the words those monsters spoke, it was Shinichi who snapped at them, screamed his head off and kicked them out of the room, then he fell into one of the chairs and start shaking like he was about to cry.
He probably should have told Shinichi, to spear himself from the heartbreaking look his Alpha sent to him when Kaito returned one day from work and saw the negative pregnancy test in his hand. They tried a few more times after that, every time was a failure, and Kaito felt himself breaking more and more, but not like Shinichi, who start staring at the walls devoid of any life any time they waited for the test that in the end was negative… Shinichi starts planning to overthrow what's left of the Black Organization to distract himself after they heard from Judy that the leader had escaped and now was recruiting his next minions.
In the end, Kaito stopped, because he couldn't keep on torturing Shinichi and him even more, couldn't live on with knowing that every test he will take will show him nothing but negative mark. In the end, he had to be thankful for Haibara, because she came to their home with the detective boys, the children that Shinichi haven't seen for a year but wanted to with all of his heart.

"Are… a-are you really Conan-Kun?" Ayumi asked softly, her voice cracking with every sniff she took, her eyes full of tears as she gazed at Shinichi, Mitsuhiko and Genta were with her, looking at their feet but eyes were glassy with unshed tears, at Ayumi's question, Shinichi looked at Haibara with wide eyes.
"You told them." He didn't ask her, already knowing the answer, and Kaito was a little heartbroken as he hears the small sob coming from Ayumi at Shinichi's words, he made sure to put the glasses of juice in front of the kids and took his place beside Shinichi on the loveseat, looking at the children sitting on the sofa.
"I didn't." Haibara said with a calm voice as she gazed at Shinichi and him a small smile taking over her face. "They were smart enough to discover it on their own with only a few sheets of paper they found… you taught them well." Haibara's words made Shinichi frown, and Kaito had the feeling that Haibara did tell them the truth, looking at Shinichi's tired eyes, Kaito's resolves hardened if the little Miss hasn't told the kids about Shinichi, Kaito knew he would have told them himself.
"How is that even possible, Conan… I mean Kudou-San…" Mitsuhiko's strong voice stuttered when he called out for Shinichi which made the Alpha give the kids a sad smile before an amused one took over his face.
"Do you believe in witches and crows?" Shinichi asked which made the kids look at each other than at Shinichi waiting for the older teen to talk. "Once upon a time, a foolish knight was walking around his kingdom, there was a festival and he wanted to make sure that everything went without a hitch tonight, everything was going fine until he saw suspicious crows. He then…" Shinichi continued his tale, which made the kids 'Oh' and 'Ah' with wide eyes full of wonder.
The light in Shinichi's eyes made Kaito give a huge smile, it was a long time since the Omega saw his mate smile and wave his hands animatedly as he talked to the children, he looked at Haibara who was smiling and gave her a smile of his own, mouthing the words 'Thank you.' To her which made her smile and return her gaze to Shinichi who was now telling the boys about the mad inventor who made magical tools to help the knight in his quest.
.
…
.
After that day, the kids always came to their house on the weekends, and Shinichi and Kaito will take the four of them to camp in the woods, or explore what catches their fancy, sometimes Agasa-Hakase will come with them, but a lot of time, it was only the six of them, and the kid even presented Kaito with the detective boys' badge, telling him that he was one of them now, which always brought the smile on Kaito's face, while Shinichi taught the kids about detecting and the skills they need to become detectives, Kaito took it on himself to teach them the mechanics of what's going behind the scene, taught them a few magic tricks, and even solved a few cases by his own, to show them that magician are better detectives then police officers, which will start his and Shinichi's round of disagreement which the kids always laugh at.
Kaito was happy ever since the kids showed up, because not only did they bring the light to Shinichi's eyes once more, but they taught him that he doesn't need a child from his blood to be happy, they taught him and Shinichi that if they ever wanted a child, they could adopt one, after all, there are a lot of orphans out there without a home, they taught him that a family isn't necessarily something you born into, but a family is something that you make, like Agasa-Hakase, like Jii-Chan, his mother, inspector Megure, the police forces, Hattori, Haibara, the detective kids, and plenty of people who made their family.
Everything was perfect, everything was, until Koizumi middle in his and Shinichi's life, until she played Shinichi's fear of losing Kaito and making the Alpha agree to her despicable plan. Kaito was asleep for three days, three days! He remembers only having dinner with Shinichi, celebrating an early birthday for the Alpha, considering that the next day they have to go and do their raid on the Black Organization, he remembered having a fancy dinner that the Alpha cooked because of course, the Alpha knows how to cook, living alone made sure of that, made sure that he knows how to take care of himself, how to cook, and clean, ration the money to buy the necessary and defending himself when it was needed, because, before Kaito, there was Ran, who abandoned Shinichi when the Alpha refused her, and before that was Shinichi taking care of himself, with Agasa-Hakase dropping now and then to check on the boy…
He remembered laughing and talking with Shinichi about their plan to take the kids to one of Kaitou Kid's show and telling them that Kaito was Kid, he remembers exchanging kisses, and being told by Shinichi that he loved him over and over again, he remembered sleeping in his Alpha's arms that night… only to wake up in a hospital bed and be told that he had been in a coma and that Shinichi was dead.
He remembered screaming at everyone that they were nothing but lairs, he remembered his mother's tearful eyes and the detective boys' sobbing as they rushed toward him to take comfort in his arms, he remembered Ai's buffy eyes from crying as she made herself as small as possible in his arms, trying to give him and take comfort from him. Shinichi was able to overthrow what's left of the organization, even when Vodka was able to run, Shinichi knew the place the leader hides in and he went to chase him in the forest, fighting with the Boss on a cliff and falling with him in the running river below, that it had rained so much in the past week the river was fast, that the bodies were drifted, that they found the leader's body, but they were still searching for Shinichi.
He screamed his head off at Koizumi when she told him a week later that she played Shinichi. That he would have 'died' if he went with the Alpha, said a lot of nasty things to the woman, told her to never show her face to him again or he will kill her. After that day, Kaito distant himself from anyone, everyone but his mother and the detective boys, after all, they were Shinichi's little brats and by default his, and even if it pained him to ignore Aoko because she mated that bitch Akako, he couldn't help it, grieving for someone's mate was never easy, people who lost their mates became suicidal, mentally unstable, but Kaito was strong, something that Shinichi always reminded the Omega of, and he pulled through in the end.
He pulled through even if Megure or one of the police department will visit him every week to check in on him, even if his mother returned home and refuse to leave until six years later when Kaito moved out of his childhood home because Shinichi and him lived there and planned to make it their home, he pulled through and bought a small flower shop in Beika that had an apartment on top of it, he made it his home, he planted flowers and roses on the roof of his apartment, he sees the detective boys every day after school, helped them with few cases they couldn't solve, and smiled to himself when Aoko moved to Beika to be closer to her work, she was elementary teacher, which was not something that surprised him at all.
Kaito tried to go through life, he went to college, and he graduated in three years, mainly because he was bored, but Shinichi always told him that he was a genius, he performed his shows for a year, went on a tour even, but it was boring, it was dull, and Kaito spent that time fighting with either his manager who wanted him to abandon his life and think big or fighting with the staff who wouldn't put two and two together, it was then that he understood what Shinichi meant by his words after his one-year contract ended, he quit being a stage magician and opened his flower shop, people who knew him or his father always come to his shop to take photos and buy flowers, and suddenly his small shop was the most famous shop in Beika, some people even come from Ekoda and Osaka, mainly Heiji, the only friend that sticks with Shinichi after Ran made a scene and made his teenagers' classmates and friends avoid the Alpha.
Kaito can't say he was living, but he was at least surviving, and his survival would have been bearable if Hakuba the bastard didn't ruin his already ruined life by making an idiot out of himself and ask for his hand and try and court him, no matter how much Kaito said no, no matter how much he kicked him out of his shop, throw glitters bombs at him, dyed his hair in rainbow colors, seek the detective boys at him, the bastard still comes back, no matter how much Kaito explained that he was not looking for a mate after Shinichi, Kaito always see him every couple of weeks, and endure their dance of embarrassment repeatedly.
Though he will take Hakuba over Mouri Ran any day, that bitch was still bitter that Shinichi chose him over her, and the only time she came to his shop was to rub it in his face that she was pregnant when he couldn't conceive, he didn't know who told her that, probably overheard it from her drunk father. The first time that happened, Kaito had just lost Shinichi, and she came to his room when everyone was out, and start talking shit about how this was all his fault and that if Shinichi chose her, he wouldn't have ended up dead, because unlike him Ran can hold herself in a fight and could give him children… the doctors and nurses had to pray him off of Ran, who had bruised over her body from when Kaito lost it and attacked her. No charges pressed against him, considering that he was mentally unstable because he lost his mate not three days ago and that he needed a lot of treatment… he was put on bills after that, but his mother refused for her son to be drugged and become an addict, so she always throws the bills away.
The second time he saw that Omega bitch alone, he has already opened his shop and she came to 'Check' it out because she wants beautiful flowers for her 'Wedding', he ended up kicking her from his shop and threatening her that he will fill a restraining order against her if she doesn't leave him alone. The third time he saw her it was four months ago…
.
…
.
Kaito hummed to himself as he looked at the magazine on the counter flipping through it, he can hear Ayumi and Haibara's chattering while they watered the roses, smiling when he heard Genta and Mitsuhiko curse from the backroom as they tried to bring whatever kind of boxes he asked the boys to bring here. They four brats always came to his shop on weekends to help him with whatever Kaito needed to do around the place and couldn't do alone, usually after finishing the work, he will either take them for ice-cream or will cook them dinner which either way will end up in a sleepover.
The sound of the bell informed him of a new customer, which made him look up with a smile, only for it to fall as he saw Ran and her husband walking through the doors with huge smiles on their faces, though as soon as Ran's eyes fell on him her smile turned into a mocking one. "How can I help you?" Kaito said sharply which made Ran and Eisuke look at him, as much as he wanted to kick the Omega out of his shop, he couldn't do it in front of the kids, he didn't want them to know how much 'Ran-Chan' turned into a bitch, beside Eisuke doesn't even know what his bitch of a wife do, he was just an idiot in love.
"Oh, hello Kuroba-San…" Eisuke smiled happily as he walked to the counter with his wife, and Kaito had to say that the man did grow up from being a scrawny Alpha to one with a good build, thanks to his brother that is. "Well, I wanted to buy flowers for the happy occasion but you know the lady discovered what I wanted and decided to tag along." Eisuke said with a laugh-filled voice as he looked at Ran with soft eyes, which nearly made Kaito roll his eyes.
"What happy occasion are you talking about Eisuke-San?" Ayumi asked after she finally watered the flowers, Haibara was not that far behind as she gazed at Ran with narrow eyes, as she still hasn't forgiven the Omega for what she did to Shinichi, not her nor that Suzuki Omega.
"I'm pregnant!" Ran exclaimed happily, sending a pointed look at Kaito, then she pretended to gasp and look at Kaito with wide eyes and the Omega had to wonder how his eyes didn't fall off of how hard he rolled them. "I'm so sorry, Kuroba-San! I know how the subject is sensitive to you considering that you… you…" Ran acted a little flustered which made Kaito roll his eyes and get the wrapping papers.
"Can't get pregnant?" Kaito finished the sentence for her which made an awkward silence befall the shop, but it only succeeded in making Kaito roll his eyes as he went around the shop and start picking up flowers and roses, humming along the way. "Do you have something in mind?" Kaito asked, and when he was answered by a small 'No' from Ran he smirked and took what he wanted. "Have a nice day!" Kaito said as he gave Ran a bouquet of Yellow Roses, with one Cyclamen in the center, taking advantage that the woman nor her mate knowing what they meant
.
…
.
And now after eight years, of trying to survive and live his life, after eight years of coming to peace that his mate was dead, that there was no bringing Shinichi back, just like his father, both of them Kaito loved with all of his heart and both of them were taken from him by the organization that destroyed everyone's life, and today… today Kaito gave Shinichi his last goodbye, today he told Shinichi that he was tired of surviving, that he wanted to feel alive once more, that maybe he will say 'Yes' to Hakuba on that date, because he was tired from the bastard's whining, and maybe he will see what will happen after that date.
Kaito walked toward the Kudou's mansion, knowing fully well that Ran will be there, and he was sure that the police force already made bets if Kaito and Ran or Kaito and the Kudou family will fight again this year or not, he was walking beside his mother while the Kudou couples were walking in front of them, hearing Yukiko's choked gasp made Chikage and Kaito look around Chikage and freeze when they saw Toichi… alive and walking on crutches, but old Toichi.
Kaito chocked his sobs, as his mother ran toward his father who was hoping to reach them, hearing his mother's cries of his father's name, made him rush toward her and his father, the older Alpha's eyes were filled with tears when they fell on him, and he was pulled into his embrace, and Kaito had to hold into his sobs as he took his father's scent, hearing his father's words of how much he missed them and that he loves them so much, how proud he was of Kaito, and how sorry he was because he wasn't there when they needed them.
"How?" Yuusaku choked as he looked at his friend with wide eyes, not believing what he was seeing, but Toichi just gave him his insane grin which got a laugh off of him, because no one can give this grin if they weren't Toichi.
"I was taken by the Black Organization, but was saved a half a year ago." Toichi said as he stood straight with Chikage's help, his words made everyone's eyes widen as they heard the man's words. "Couldn't come, the one who saved me was forceful that I go through therapy before he even let me leave the bed." Toichi said with a fondness which made Kaito look at his mother whose eyes were sparkling with happiness.
"And who was the poor soul that had the misfortune of nursing you back to health?" Chikage said with a laugh-filled voice, happiness showing on her face and for a second Kaito felt a little envious that his father was back but Shinichi was dead, which made him feel like shit so he tried to smile at his father.
Toichi looked back and pointed with his hand toward the man that was standing near Koizumi gripping her wrist tightly. "Shinichi-Kun!" Toichi's calling that name, made Kaito let go of him like he was burned, and his eyes tear up as he tried to get a grip of himself. "Shinichi-Kun leave that poor girl alone and come meet my family!" That got a reaction from the man as he turns toward them, and Kaito had to hold his sobs inside, because… because Shinichi was standing there! A man with Shinichi's face and his deep blue eyes was standing there! He even had the same scent, and that made Kaito's legs shake.
"Shinichi!" Yuusaku and Yukiko's screams as they rushed toward the Alpha made Kaito freeze, not taking his eyes from the Alpha whose eyes never left Kaito, those blue eyes were wide, as he walked forward, avoiding Yuusaku and Yukiko as he rushed toward him, an action that made the Kudou look at the Alpha with broken looks.
The Alpha stood before Kaito and the Omega had to stop his tears from falling because he was so sure that this was Shinichi, it was Shinichi! Just taller and more build than he was before, he has Shinichi's same eyes, and the same scar on Shinichi's right brow that he got on one of Kaito's heist when the Alpha was protecting him from Snake, Kaito could only look at the man as he raised his hand gently but not touching the Omega looking at Kaito like he was going to vanish any time now if he. "Kaito…" His name is spoken by that voice, by Shinichi's voice finally broke him and he let out a sob.
What's going on?
So what do you think?
Sorry for the late update, was a little busy, with writing the final chapters for four of my stories.
So we finally got Kaito's side of the story!
Cyclamen: Symbolizes separation.
Yellow Roses: They weren't associated with friendship in the tradition in history. A bouquet of yellow roses has always been representing infidelity…
You know what Kaito meant by this, don't you ;)
