The Magician:

Kaito wasn't sure what he was doing when he approached Shinichi after her performance. It was like he had no mind and his feet were doing all the thinking themselves. But that was silly, his brain concluded instantly. Feet don't think. Nor do they have brains for that matter. He supposed he approached her because of his appreciation for her music when she had played that violin of hers. He won't lie, it was absolutely breathtaking and Meitantei-San happened to look extra amazing tonight. Or perhaps it was because he was concerned about the more morbid and sad parts of the music.

He didn't know, and didn't really care anymore if he was going to be completely honest. He was just extremely happy that he and Meitantei-San could be friends. Especially with his civilian identity. He was quite surprised though. He never knew she could play the violin.. He vaguely wondered what else his dear little critic was hiding up her sleeve. He gave himself a mental shrug as he walked onto the stage and grinned at the crowd. It didn't matter anyways, he'd soon find out. He'd make it his business to find out. And before you accuse him of being nosy, Kaito objects. It's merely curiosity.

He made a swooping bow to the crowd ad they cheered loudly. Many of them knew Kaito's reputation as a magician. It had been growing rapidly over only the span of a few weeks, much like Shinichi's. He couldn't be honored anymore than he felt. His father had performed here, many times Kaito recalled. It was reserved only for the best of blooming talents. To think he would be performing here now, he'd only hope his father would be proud.

"Ladies and Gentleman!" He exclaimed, his hands thrust out to his sides as he addressed the audience. He shot a subtle glance to the side, knowing his Meitantei-Chan was watching. He wondered how many KID like clues he could drop before she'd break down in realization. He smiled amusingly with a hint of fondness. "Welcome to a truly magical night!" The cheers only got louder making the magician smirk. He was going to go all out.

The whole stadium, was engulfed in smoke that spread out like fog among the audience. It happened fast. Kaito used his speed, agility, and accuracy to his advantage as he used his grappling-hook and jumped up onto one of the support beams, then with 'magic' (or the supply of hats Kaito hid prior to the show) Kaito had the all the black top hats he supplied on the heads of everyone in the audience. 4.5 seconds. He smirked, new record.

Everyone in the audience blinked at the extra weight on their head when the smoke finally cleared. Kaito smirked, he even managed to get his little critic. And she happened to be looking right at him from his spot on the support beam. He chuckled. It was really hard to trick that girl. Oh well, all the more fun.

The crowd looked around the room for the magician. Some of them were holding their new hats while others just kept them on with delightful smiles. Kaito put his own hat on, crouching down like a cat. The wires he connected to himself held him up seemingly through midair as he made his way to the middle of the audience, hovering over their heads. He smirked and snapped his fingers.

The reaction was instantaneous as a light beam shown towards him, giving away his location. All eyes were drawn towards his supposedly suspended body. A couple of people gasped while others clapped loudly. Shinichi gave him a smirk and he returned it with a smug smile. He practically radiated confidence.

"I suppose all of you like your new souvenirs?" He asked, a hand against his chest as he used his other hand to grasp his hat and turn in a ninety-degree angel. There were a chorus of "Yes" amongst the crowd, especially from some of his younger fans. He grinned in response. It felt so natural to bask under the spotlight. "Well then, you'll enjoy this even more!" He exclaimed. The room went up in multicolored smoke. It however simmered down rather quickly, becoming a transparent fog.

"Is it a fluke?" A brave soul dared whisper. Kaito smirked. Oh no, the magic had just began.

The colors separated discreetly, forming abstract illusions as they floated up into the air. The crowd eyed them curiously before gasping in awe when the smoke formed shapes and started to play out like a 3-D movie. A child gasped when a smoke bunny dashed towards her. The child could only say it was truly magic, when the smoke turned into a stuffed animal. She held it tightly, smiling at the magician who had suddenly reappeared at the middle of the stage. He gave Shinichi a slight wink when he caught her gaze. She blushed slightly but concealed it well, but not well enough, making the the thief swoon at her cuteness inside.

He grinned when people started clapping as all the children got little plush toys. His grin turned into a soft smile when he saw the first little girl that got her toy. "Thank you Magician-niisan!" She shouted cutely, cupping her hands like a megaphone. Her hat slipped over one of her eyes and she giggled cutely.

"No problem, Ojou-chan." He called out, laughing when she blushed and nodded. He walked up to her, patting her on the head. "Would you like to assist me with something." He asked gently, bending down to her height. The child nods furiously and Kaito looks for the parents. They nodded their heads in permission and he nods back, telling them silently that their daughter will be fine. They gave Kaito grateful smiles.

The little girl followed him onto the center of the stage, there he produced a microphone in a puff of smoke. He once again bent down to the child and held it out to her.

"Tell the world your name, little one." He gestured to the crowd widely and the child looked down with a nervous blush as her chubby hands fiddled with the bottom of her shirt. She grumbled quietly under her breath and Kaito smiled gently. "What was that?"

"Kira. Naminani Kira." She spoke into the mic. Kaito ruffled her hair affectionately.

"And how old are you, Kira-chan?" He asked cheerfully causing the girl to smile. She held up her fingers and started counting cutely. Multiple people, including Kaito, though he'll never admit it let out a slight "Aww" at her cuteness.

"Six. I'm six years old, nii-chan! I'm a big girl right?" She asked with a tilt to her head, amber eyes wide as she waited for an answer. Kaito chuckled and ruffled her hair again making her giggle. "Big enough to help you right?"

"Yes." He answered. "Although I'm going to need two assistants to help me with this magic." The girl let out a little smile and nodded her head. Kaito smiled, searching the crowd before remembering the perfect person to help. He whispered something in the child's ear and she let out a cute squeal before going behind the backstage curtain, fetching the person he had his eyes on.

Shinichi gave him a horrified expression and he smirked. She couldn't turn down the cute little child that was pulling on her hand. Finally she came out and smiled nervously at the crowd. She heard the same whispers and had to repress and eye roll. Kira brought her to Kaito and then grabbed the mic before pulling her down to her height.

"Kaito-niisan asked me to ask you your name, pretty nee-chan!" Kira exclaimed with a smile. Kaito saw Shinichi repress attacking the girl in a hug. Yes, she was just that dang adorable. Shinichi processed the girls words and blushed slightly.

"T-thank you Kira-chan. You're very pretty too. I'm Shinichi. Kudo Shinichi." The detective said and the crowd listened. Some shouting "I told you so! It is the famous detective!" Others, "Shinichi! I love you!" And for the more rude and curious, "What is she doing here?" The little girl's eyes widened in realization.

"You're the pretty detective that catches all the bad, evil men and puts them in jail." She started, tugging on her shirt a bit. "Thank you nee-chan for all of the work you've done!"

"Oh." Shinichi started, not expecting that from a kid. She smiled, taking example from Kaito and ruffling the child's hair. "It wasn't just me. You should also be thanking the police, I just help with what I can." Kaito rolled his eyes behind the shadow his hat produced. Sure, he mused, the police. It's not like you do all the work. The more sarcastic part of his mind went, Oh yeah! You do! Ha, very modest aren't you Meitantei-san? He just settled for an unnoticed sigh and took the microphone from the two, instructing them to stand on either side of him.

"Everyone! Time is running out it seems." The crowd booed. "But it's not running fast enough to stop me from doing the impossible!" He exclaimed. The crowd cheered and the over hyper Kaito smirked, receiving calculating glances from the detective. "Have you ever seen anyone walk on water?" He asked. The crowd gave a chorus of "No's" and he smiled. "Well then, prepare to be amazed."

The lights went out and the magician could hear the gears turning from the stage to the middle row walkway as the chairs shifted to make a walkway pool. The lights flipped back on and people started wondering how the heck they moved so much, as they were all now facing the long straight pool.

"I'm going to walk on this. My assistants are going to check for mistakes, if you believe I hired them or something, go ahead and stick your foot in there, swim around if you will. There is no glass, and there are no wires. I am going to walk on water." He said into the mic, his smile not faltering for a second. A couple people in the crowd glanced at him skeptically, the children were cheering, and the brave souls that jumped into the water were coming out of the pool soaking wet. Kaito turned to his temporary assistants. "You understand your job right?" They nodded and he smiled. "Very well, I shall begin."

He took his first step and the spotlight was on him. He stood at the edge, on the water and people gasped. He kicked his foot up and a sprinkle of water was kicked up. He then proceeded to jump, there was no sound except the the small waves and splashes his feet were producing with his steps. He then proceeded to walk. It was like he was in a shallow puddle but the crowd knew he wasn't, the idiots next to them were still dripping wet. He got to the end and gestured to the crowd once more, his arms spread out by his sides.

"I had fun, but I'm afraid it's time to leave." He stated, bowing deeply. The crowd was showered with roses and he disappeared in a puff of smoke. "Kira-chan, thank you for helping, let's get you back to your parents alright?" The little girl nodded, jumping Kaito for a hug.

"That was amazing nii-chan! I couldn't find a trick. You actually walked on water!" She exclaimed as Kaito handed her to her parents who smiled and took her off. The pool was once again, concealed somehow through a mechanism. He walked back up to Shinichi who had a contemplating expression on her face.

"Ne, KID?" She started when the crowd was all gone and it was just them on the stage. Said thief froze and chuckled. He knew he was giving way to many hints. "Are you a idiot?"

"Excuse me?"

"Why reveal yourself?" She asked with a slight smile and Kaito almost blushed. Instead he laughed and took of his top hat, placing it on the girls head.

"Because I'm an eccentric thief and you'll never know what I'll do next."

Hope you enjoyed! Review and tell me what you think. I'm not sure when I'll have part three finished. Hopefully soon.
