The Shadow Hunters

by Fragments of Imagination

Hunting down the Crows was a difficult task, and if it wasn't for the Contact that Shinichi had within the Crows, the situation would seem hopeless. It's going to be a long hunt, but Shinichi and his Shadow Hunters wouldn't back down from the challenge. (Naito Shin AU, Sequel of 'Naito Shin' Story, after the Filler. Characters might be OOC.

Omake 2:

'Try These Out~!'

By Kuroba Kaito

"Shin-chan!"

That was the only warning Shinichi got before he was picked up into a bone-crushing hug, and a certain woman who was too excitable for her own good immediately nuzzled his head with hers.

"O- Okaa-san…" Shinichi greeted her with a grimace, "Can't… breathe…".

"Oops." Yukiko said sheepishly as she released her Son from the bone-crushing hug, "Sorry, can't help it. I miss you so much, Shin-chan!".

"I miss you too." Shinichi replied with a smile, before nodding his head to the man beside his Mother, "Ohisashiburi da ne, Otou-san (Long time no see, Father)".

Yusaku smiled warmly. "Ohisashiburi (Long time no see), Shinichi." He replied with a nod of his own.

"Are we the last to arrive?" Chikage asked as she picked up Shinichi to hug him too, after she was done hugging Kaito and exchanged pleasantry.

"Yes." Shinichi replied simply as he patted her back, before squirming around until Chikage let him down, "Come on, everyone else is at the Library".

That day, Kaito asked every member of the Shadow Hunters to come to the Black Manor for a meeting, saying that he, Agasa-hakase, and Jii had made new items that they wanted to give to everyone in person - in fear of said new items being lost on the way if they sent them via mail. Of course, to avoid suspicion, they met up under the guise of celebrating Kaito's 17th Birthday.

(As was planned previously, Kaito had monopolized Shinichi for the day, while the others - with the exception of Yukiko, Yusaku, Chikage, and Chris - had spend the day doing the Scavenger Race. Aoko and Akako pairing had won the Race this time.

The Kudous and Chikage - on the other hand - were still on the flight to Japan earlier, and Chris didn't dare to come to avoid the Crows from knowing that she still kept in contact with the Kurobas.)

"Alright, since everyone is here now, let's begin the meeting." Shinichi began once everyone had sat down, "We're here tonight because Kaito, Agasa-hakase, and Jii-chan had created 2 new items for us. What these new items are? Well, let's hear the explanation." Shinichi nodded to Kaito, "Go ahead, Kai".

With that, Shinichi sat down on his own seat at the head of the Meeting Table, while Kaito and the other two stood up - Kaito to speak to them, while the two Inventors to fetch the new items.

"I got the idea from the incident of a week ago." Kaito began his explanation with a grin, "For those of you who don't know yet, both Touyama-chan and Suzuki-chan managed to hack into the system, and not only that they could install the Spy App into their own phone, they also managed to Log themselves In - hence why they joined us now".

The two mentioned girls let out a sheepish chuckle there.

"Due to this incident, I have an idea of how we can prevent this incident from repeating. After discussing this idea to both Hakase and Jii-chan, we created a special Smart Phone for us." Kaito, Agasa-hakase, and Jii each held out a Smart Phone to them - Kaito held a black colored phone, Agasa-hakase a silver one, while Jii held a white one. "We present you the Hyakki Yakou phone!" He announced with a big grin.

"Hyakki Yakou?" Pretty much everyone asked that.

"Well, since our Codenames are based from the name of the Youkai, I decide to use Hyakki Yakou as the name for our electronic products." Kaito informed them with a shrug, "Anyway, we got some help from the Iron Man. With the help of his Tech, the Hyakki Yakou phone is not only Hack proof, but also Water proof, Fire proof, and Shock resistant".

"Not only that." Agasa-hakase told them excitedly, "In the case we happen to be in an area where there isn't any phone or radio signal, we added Satellite connection in addition to the Bluetooth. Let's not forget the GPS System, so that each of us can check the location of each Agents, in the case one of us got kidnapped." He sent a meaningful look to Shinichi, who pouted but nodded in acceptance, he got the biggest record in getting kidnapped after all.

"In addition to the Hyakki Yakou phone, we also created the Hyakki Yakou Super Netbook - 10 Inch." Jii added with a proud smile, gesturing to the said Super Netbook on the table in front of Kaito - they were available in three colors too. "Basically, the Super Netbook have the same function as the normal Laptop, but more advanced. Just like the phone, the Super Netbook is made to be Hack proof, but also Water proof, Fire proof, and Shock resistant".

"Unlike the phone though, the Hyakki Yakou Super Netbook doesn't have GPS System, so we have to be careful not to lose it." Kaito said sheepishly, before he grinned excitedly again, "Do you know what the best feature is?".

"They are light and easy to be carried around?" Shinichi asked with an amused smile.

"Nope!" Kaito was practically vibrating in his excitement, "Each of the Hyakki Yakou phone has been installed with an AI (Artificial Intelligent)!".

"AI?" Yusaku blinked in surprise, "You mean, like the Iron Man's JARVIS?".

"Not as Powerful as JARVIS, but similar at the core." Kaito replied with a nod of his head, "The AIs will be like a Personal Assistant for us, but they can also help in protecting our Phone and Super Netbook from being hacked or attacked by Virus".

"What other advantageous do the AI has?" Eri asked him thoughtfully, "For I doubt that you installed an AI into the Phone just to have better a Security Program and a Personal Assistant".

"Sharp as usual, Kisaki-san." Kaito smirked at her, before explaining, "The AI can also help us to communicate with each other faster. For example, if we get a Notification - whether for a new Chat or Report and so on - but we're busy driving or running and don't have the time to open the Notification ourselves, the AI will tell us what the Notification is about and read it for us. Then, we can tell them our reply and they will sent it for us".

"What about the Chat?" Aoko asked him, "When chatting, the flow is so fast that I doubt that the AI can read everything for us just as fast".

"We have prepared a solution for that problem." Agasa-hakase answered her with a proud smile, "The AI have a Voice they can speak with, and we have programmed the Voice to be just like our own voice, but with an Artificial quality to them to avoid confusion".

"I see, so it will be like we're taking to each other instead of just via text messaging." Ran hummed in understanding, "There are three colors for the Phone and Super Netbook, do they have a specific meaning?".

"The Hyakki Yakou electronics have a specific Symbol for each of us." Kaito took over to explain, "The Strikers get the color black for the body, and the Symbol's color is dark red - like a Rose more than blood. The Counters get the color silver for the body and the Symbol's color is dark purple, while the Supporters get the color white for the body and the symbol's color is dark blue." He showed the back of the Phone and the top of the Super Netbook as he explained, the Symbol was located at the bottom right corner of the two items. "Also, you can named your own AI, but the Strikers have to use Maru at the end of the name, Shi for the Counters, and To for the Supporters".

"Any reason for that color and tail-name coding?" Shinichi asked in confusion.

"No, I just feel like it." Kaito replied cheekily, earning either a groan or a chuckle from the rest.

The Phone and Super Netbook were distributed after that. Shinichi got 2 Phones - since he got 2 Codenames, but only one Super Netbook and AI, while Ai chose to just use one Phone instead of 2 - she refused to accepted the one for Hakutaku.

Their Symbols - turned out - were based from their own Codenames, and so they decided to name their AI similarly as well, thus ended up like this…

Daitengu : Raven, AI : Daimaru

Kotengu : Little Raven, AI : Daimaru

Bakeneko : Humanoid Cat, AI : Nekomaru

Aosaginohi : Heron, AI : Aomaru

Kitsune : Curling-up Fox, AI : Kinnemaru

Ibaraki-doji : Horned Oni Mask, AI : Kidomaru

Tsukuyomi : Crescent Moon, AI : Tsuyoshi

Amaterasu : Sun, AI : Arashi

Nogitsune : Sitting-up Fox, AI : Nosshi

Kirin : Kirin, AI : Kinshi

Yuki Onna : Snowflake, AI : Yunato

Gozumaru : Cow Head, AI : Gomato

Mezumaru : Horse Face, AI : Meruto

Seiryu : Serpentine Dragon, AI : Seito

Byakko : Tiger, AI : Byatto

Suzaku : Phoenix, AI : Suzato

Genbu : Turtle, AI : Gento

With the Hyakki Yakou Phone and Super Netbook being added to their Shadow Hunter / Huntress Kit - after Air Trek being added previously, the Shadow Hunters became one of the most advanced Organization in the world - not that the public knew that.

Line~Line~Line

On a side note, Amanojaku's Phone and Super Netbook were given to Yukiko, who later on tracked Chris down and slipped them along with the manual book into her bag secretly.

Amanojaku's Hyakki Yakou Symbol was the symbols for Male and Female, and once she read the manual, named her AI as Akushi.
