"Okay, what's wrong?"
"My younger self is getting cocky and Snake has changed his pattern as well, we need to think of something to get my younger self under control and get Snake to back off for a little bit, but..."
"You're remembering the sniper incident aren't you?"
"Indeed I am, indeed I am"
"Hm...well for now we can come up with a few plans and then get serious after we deal with the sniper"
"And you protect your sister and hopefully prevent her from getting shot this time around right?"
(Snorts) "As if, Masumi is Masumi she's going to get herself hurt in some way in the end, plus let's face it it's too dangerous for two snipers to try and out snipe each other near a train or other busy area, as such it really is best to wait until when I originally got into the game as a sniper at Asakusa Sky court"
"Well you know what's best but still..."
"It's the only plan we've got KID, by the way have you heard about..."
"Yeah, I've heard"
"How?"
"Two ways actually, the TV news was just starting to talk about it when I overheard Nakamori speaking about it as well at the coffee shop I got work at that he stops in regularly, he gave me more details then the TV did, unintentionally of course, and of course I actually know more then him regarding who Amuro Toru actually was but still...what about his funeral or even his real identity?"
"I haven't been contacted yet about the funeral, as for his real identity...the PSB will most likely make something up though I don't know what that could possibly be"
"Understood, I don't have an official invitation unlike what you'll likely get but I'll be there somehow I promise, after all..."
"We're now two out of only three people who know the whole truth"
"Yeah"
"By the way are you going to..."
"Try and save Nakamori? I am when the time is right, I was always planning on retiring KID when Pandora was destroyed and the guys who killed dead taken down, but I also always imagined Nakamori being there when I finally did so, instead..."
"Instead Nakamori is killed in the line of duty protecting you from Snake mere months before the Organization is taken down"
"Yeah, the taskforce had taken to wearing protection at all my heists over the past few months because Snake was getting more and more bold and also more and more dangerous, unfortunately that night Nakamori wasn't wearing his protection because a rookie needed it more and of course I rarely if ever wear protection and Snake had gotten me in the leg anyways after shooting down my glider. Nakamori could tell I wasn't able to get a way fast enough and shielded me, he died almost instantly from what I heard"
"At least the taskforce was able to get Snake that night and the PSB was able to put you under their protection which prevented your from being arrested and probably killed by other Organization members"
"Yeah, they let me continue the hunt for Pandora and let me do one final heist to put an end to the Kaito KID formally, giving everyone actual closure"
"Anyways do what you can to reel your younger self in until we can start making better plans and acting on them"
"Will do"
"By the way, why was it too dangerous to say this over the phone?"
"My phone got swiped and while I got it back there's no telling if it's been bugged or not"
"Then the text..."
"You didn't recognize the number right?"
"Yes"
"I used a coworkers phone, one that I knew was secure enough for texting at least"
"I see"
"Anyways I'd best get going, but...I think we might need to meet more regularly, the three of us who remember"
"True, by the way we have another, on the fringe ally that will also be keeping an eye on Kudo whenever possible"
"Oh?"
"Yes Kazami from the PSB, he works...worked with Furuya, combine that with the fact that I most likely will be the contact point between the FBI and PSB once more, even if no one else knows that, and I will have more regular updates on him then you"
"Good, he needs watched"
"No kidding Furuya called him a trouble magnet according to Kazami"
"I see...wait he's the guy who almost shot me once in the original timeline, as did Camel"
"Yeah, they both apparently wanted to appologize, but you can't blame them entirely considering the fact that you were in disguise"
"I never did blame the two of them since they were doing their jobs, and the challenge/response code saved me both times but what you said triggered my memory is all"
"I see...KID...Asakura I mean I know you have your hands full with your younger self but...could you watch over Kazami and Kudo as well whenever on your heists?"
"Kazami yes Kudo...I'll leave him to my younger self"
"Okay that will work"
"By the way do you need a diguise for the contact thing?"
"Might, but the PSB and I will work on that issue got it?"
"Got it, now then I have to get going"
"Indeed you do, see you around though"
"Agreed"
The next day Akai got the formal notice about Furuya in regards to his funeral arrangements, he had also informed James about what Kazami had told him and that they needed to get Mizunashi Rena out of the Organization and back home with her brother
*I'll take care of it, was already planning to do so when we found out about Amuro through you, by the way you're primary contact with the PSB for the FBI, more information given to you after funeral, FBI formally attending as well*
*Got it, will be disguised*
*Understood Okiya?*
*No, have something different in mind for this*
Two days later and Akai was out in about in a very similar disguise as when the three who thought they were the only ones who remembered the future confronted the unaging Kaito KID who also remembered the future, there were some minor differences such as the placement of the scar but otherwise it was a perfect blen of Okiya Subaru and Scar Akai, add in dark sunglasses that were sometimes seen and sometimes not seen at funerals, especially on sunny days which this day was and he blended in perfectly. After the funeral (which while Furuya had requested to be cremated he had also requested a western style funeral for reasons that were unknown to the PSB but made perfect sense to Akai due to the two of them signing paperwork to legally make them family shortly after the Organization had been taken down. They had done this for two reasons, one was because they felt that they needed to do something to keep them connected despite distance between them after everything they had been through at the end of the fight and the other was because during the fight against the Organization once Furuya got his head straight in regards to Akai the two had signed paperwork that gave the other legal rights to deal with medical issues if the other was unable to make those decisions themselves, and those rights had been used a few times too, Akai had signed paperwork for Furuya to have surgery twice, Furuya signed paperwork for Akai to have surgery three times and Furuya had also been forced to sign paperwork stating that the doctors could take Akai off of life support one time when the doctors had said that there was nothing more that they could do and that they were basically prolonging Akai's life for nothing, of course that would be the day that Akai would prove them wrong by coughing and barely, but still actually doing so, breathing on his own, his breaths had been shallow, his oxygen rate was below acceptable levels for the doctors forcing them to put him of pure oxygen waiting to see if he needed intubated again, and briefly opening his eyes. The doctors had considered him a miracle considering how quickly he managed to recover from his injuries, he was only out of the fight against the Organization mentally for a month, physically he was out of the fight for five months which included his one month stay in the hospital to get back into the fight mentally and be well enough to be discharged. After that day both of them had discussed their wishes fully regarding what they wanted for a funeral and it was decided that both would have at least a partially western funeral, Akai would have the full western funeral while Furuya would have the combination of east and west) Akai put flowers on the family grave and spoke words so silently that no one else could hear them since he knew that he would be forced to answer questions if overheard, questions he would be unable to answer
