All Characters, Magic Kaito, Gosho Aoyama

--Part 4, Third person, Kuroba--

"Eh? You got another temp job? Exactly how much are you getting paid for each of these, hm?" an annoyed Nakamori Aoko asked her friend, Kuroba Kaito, as they walked out of a fast food restaurant.

"Geez, Aoko, can you be louder? It's bad enough the school barely allows me to get a job." Kaito responded, equally annoyed. In actuality, Kaito didn't get paid for his jobs, seeing as how he was never officially hired. He just assumed the role of an average employee to get prepared for his, er, night job.

"Well, I'm glad you got to rest up. I was really getting worried about you." Aoko looked at Kaito with a relieved smile, causing him to abruptly stop.

"You know I don't like you to worry about me." Kaito said in his most sincere voice, with a small grin on his face.

"Ka-Kaito…" Aoko whispered, blushing slightly. There was some distance between the two childhood friends. A light breeze passed over them.

"Kyaa!" Make that a strong wind. Aoko quickly pushed her skirt back down.

Kaito covered his mouth, "Aoko…" he snickered, "purple doesn't fit you."

"Kaito-you!" And with that, the young girl began chasing her friend.

Eventually they both got tired—Aoko more than Kaito--and decided to sit down for a while. "That was fantastic, Aoko," Kaito sighed out cheekily.

"Really, Kaito, it's like you like me chasing after you." Aoko managed to breathe out.

Aoko was, in fact, Kaito's favorite chaser. The main difference between Aoko and the other girls that chased after Kaito during his night job, was that Aoko had real love in her heart. That and, in Kaito's eyes, Aoko was the loveliest girl he had ever seen.

So far.
