Summary: It was just one of the things that happened before class…

-----------------------------------------------------

The sun was up high while puffs of white clouds lazily floated across the vibrant blue sky.

It seemed to be a wonderful day, like those in the fairytales where the birds were chirping merrily, people were talking nicely, the wind blew softly and all those other signs that say the beginning of a wonderful day.

It was what a blond detective thought anyways.

Hakuba Saguru was wrong, so very wrong. It was thanks to three people that his "today is a beautiful day" theory was disproved; namely it was Koizumi Akako, who just flirted with him with one of the most embarrassing ways which was not to be mentioned and of course the dynamic duo; Kuroba Kaito and Nakamori Aoko—well mainly Kaito—, Hakuba thought wryly as he continued to read his book.

Hakuba sighed and ducked his head when a mop was coincidentally swinging towards him and a figure was frolicking away from it.

"Missed me again! You're to slow Aoko!" a grinning Kuroba Kaito laughed as he gracefully pranced around the classroom, stepping on tables, chairs, and the occasional student shoulders and heads.

"Arrgh!!! Kuroba Kaito stand still so I can hit you!" a red faced Nakamori Aoko bellowed.

Kaito stuck his tongue out playfully as he stepped on a shoulder of one of his male classmates which just made Aoko angrier.

The inspector's daughter swung her mop wildly in attempt to hit her perverted friend.

Still no luck, it missed him by a couple of inches.

Aoko growled at her failed attempt but made no sign of giving up, she charged at him again her blue eyes fiery as ever.

Kaito dodged her swing easily and gracefully, he shifted to one foot before skipping of to another table. Aoko followed in pursuit.

Ten minutes passed…

Everyone ducked their heads as Aoko swung her mop for the umpteenth time, Kaito jumped over it and somehow managed to stay at the ceiling.

Aoko blinked as she searched for Kaito, her eyes scanned up and saw him there, in the corner just like a spider, spread wide out, his arms and legs holding him up on the ceiling.

"What? Kaito come down here!" she ordered while she tried to reach him with the handle of her mop.

Kaito obliged, he carefully balanced himself on the handle of the mop.

"Get off!" Aoko shook her mop and Kaito jumped of landing on Hakuba's table.

Hakuba peered above the authentic looking book that he was reading and half-glared at him. Kaito grinned at him before dashing away from Aoko's mop range purposely detouring away Akako's seat-one never knew what the witch has up her sleeve, ne-.

Aoko breathed in deeply, her red-face was sweating a bit from their chase.

"Kaito!!!" her screech almost deafened everyone in the room, her face was unbelievably red from anger and weariness. "I'm going to kill you!"

Kaito frowned slightly as he perched on a chair, his face was contemplative as if thinking of a response to Aoko's threat.

And Aoko being Aoko took this chance to attack but before her mop could hit him, his hand held out to stop it. His violet eyes stared intently at her, for once her face reddened not because of the anger. His lips parted and words came out.

"If you kill me now how can I kiss you?" he asked, his voice holding seriousness. Aoko gaped, it was not the kind of question she was used to. Her face was a dark shade of red going darker every second, her eyes blinked and blinked and just blinked repeatedly. She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out.

Then Kaito grinned, all seriousness vanishing from his face and he leaned down to kiss Aoko's left cheek.

And as Kaito withdrew Aoko's eyes was as wide as saucer plates, her mouth hanged open and her cheeks a crimson red. Everyone was still, Hakuba forgot about his book and Akako gaped at her seat, Keiko giggled, some boys smirked and others gaped, some girls squealed like Keiko, some sighed and some almost cried muttering something about "Aoko stealing Kaito".

The mop fell out of the brown-haired female's stiff hands with a 'clunk-clank-thunk' and Kaito's lips curled up into an even bigger maniacal grin.

All in all, everyone was shocked at Kaito's action. Especially since he walked to his seat casually seemingly unaffected, hands in pockets and a merry tune passing through his grinning lips as the bell rang and the teacher came in to begin class.
