Kimiko was reading the heist note that Hattori had left on the counter. It was the typical "I know something you don't" attitude that Kid kept, just for the tradition of the heist, Kimiko was sure of it. She was tugging at a lock of hair and clicking her tongue while reading over the note:

"The sky shall fall, and touch to mortal's hands

Crisp and clear the answer is near

But the wallowing of the heavy sky, shall shoot to land

And laughter shall give the jewel here,

Isis's gentle touch."

"It's the puzzle, isn't it," Hattori grumbled, leaning over Kimiko's shoulder. He couldn't help but tug on a strand of her hair too when Kimiko didn't instantly respond, "Hello, are you there?" Kimiko's annoyed expression made him smirk. "Yes, I was talking to you, now what about the note." He plucked it from her hands and studied it himself. "Heavy sky, do you think he means the storm that's going to blow in?" Hattori mumbled, filing his thoughts away while ignoring the look Kimiko was giving him.

"Humph," Kimiko pouted while petting her hair protectively as she waited for Hattori to come back to Japan. She was put-off by the fact that as soon as she tried to say something, Heiji decided to retreat and block out the world. Finally, Kimiko got tired of waiting and flicked Hattori's nose, "Heiji, nobody can "help" you with the heist note if you are not listening…Heiji!"

That yell got a reaction, because as soon as she yelled, Hattori jerked away. "Whoa, what'sa matter?" he asked, rubbing his nose where Kimiko had flicked it. "I'm guessing that the last line deals with the object of the heist while the first two are location. The third and fourth lines must be time. Prolly the day of the storm, which is Saturday right? And I'm guessing night because Kid does like night time, but we'll have to get more specific. As for the target itself, I couldn't have a clue."

Kimiko tilted her head, puzzling over Kid's note. "Isis, she was the daughter of Hera wasn't she? And her personality was always cheerful, even when scolded by Hera. I know she brought happiness after trying times, and created rainbows after storms; maybe the gem has rainbow qualities." Hattori was nodding his head, still leaning over Kimiko's shoulder, and was beginning to place his weight against her shoulders. "Oi, get off of me Heiji, you're as heavy as a moose," she growled, but she was still willing to smirk as Hattori began to pull away with his face scrunched up in offence.

With a quick shake of his head, Hattori focused on the puzzle again "Don't you need light to make a rainbow; I don't think I've ever seen one during the night. Maybe he's goin' for the daytime rather than night? I mean, Kid has really gone on a limb this time, so maybe he's aimin' for somethin' new. Either way, I'll never understand that guy."

Their thoughts were interrupted when the doorbell rung and Ran's voice rang through. "Shit," Kimiko cursed, terrified by the fact that Ran was here and…forget that, "what do I do Heiji?" Kimiko resembled a deer in the headlights at that moment, her eyes were as huge as Oreo cookies and she had turned paler than before.

Hattori was already heading for the door, just waving his hand lightly at Kimiko, "Did she find out about Conan, nope. And now you look like a girl, something she's never seen you as, so she's not gonna find out anything, cept the fact that yer related to the Kudos." He reached the hallway before spotting that Yukiko was already opening the door for Ran.

"Hello dear, what are you doing here," Yukiko greeted; amused by the glance of panic that was decorating Kimiko's face. "If you're looking for Shin-chan, he's not here. He's still running rampant around Japan from what I've heard." Hattori heard Ran giggle at the statement from Yukiko, even though Ran seemed just a little depressed at the news. Yukiko then chose to include, "Oh, but Hattori-kun is here, along with Kimi-chan!!!"

"Kimi-chan!" another female voice rang out, sounding slightly possessive and making Hattori cringe. He knew that that voice belonged to one Kazuha Tomoya. "Is that ahou still here? I need to talk to him!" Hattori could feel the ice-berg crashing to the pit of his stomach, and tried to prepare for the yelling that was sure to follow. Kazuha had marched right past Yukiko and into the hallway Hattori had stopped in, she shrieked at him on sight, "there you are, you ahou! Just where did you go; the plans we made were ruined because of you and now you're here with another girl!" Yukiko and Ran were watching the scene with interest, standing idly by the front door that was now shut.

"I was just meeting Kudo's cousin, Kimiko, uhm chan, Zuha. I swear it," Hattori said weakly, just a little afraid of Kazuha's temper. "I came here to see if Kudo was around, which he's not, for the heist note but then I ran into Kimiko-chan and was just introducin' myself…" He backed away reflexively when Kazuha walked a little closer.

"Where is this Kimiko-chan," Kazuha asked, a deadly glare in her eye. Hattori stepped aside, revealing the cowering Kimiko. "Oh, are you Kimiko-chan? Nice to meet you, I'm Kazuha!" she introduced when she saw Kimiko look up at her. Kazuha's disposition became much nicer when she decided that Kimiko was not competition for Hattori's affections.

"Umm, I am," Kimiko sheepishly grinned, giving Hattori a sidelong glance. "I, uhm, just came here from America and went to see my aunt and uncle. I heard they were in Japan, so I knew where to find them." She shrugged her shoulders slightly, hoping that someone would intervene in the silence, as she was not sure what else to do. Shyly though, she took a peek at Ran and her mom, both of whom were watching her very closely. She raised an eyebrow when Yukiko suddenly stepped towards the group.

The sudden movement from Yukiko caught everyone else's eyes too, "Yep, she's my grandma's, sister's, daughter's, uncle's, son's, son's daughter!" Kimiko cringed while hearing this; wondering once again just how her mother came up with these relatives who didn't exist and why no one was able to find that out. Yukiko only smiled wider at the blank faces in her hallway, "and she'll be staying with us for quite a while, so maybe you'd girls would like to take her up town? She does need some more clothes and I'm sure Hattori-kun is willing to help, right Kazuha!" Everyone noted the gleam in Kazuha's eyes, and Hattori wondered briefly when the gods would just shoot him now. Kimiko was right behind him in tow, sighing in defeat as Kazuha prattled off on what shops were the best in town.

Ran was still staring, curious about the Kimiko she had never heard about. The situation was like with Conan, she hadn't known about the blood relation to Shinichi until his mother had told her. And now here was another cousin, just waiting to be introduced. "Hi, I'm Ran, and it's nice to meet you Kimiko-chan. I'm glad that you'll be staying in Japan although Shinichi isn't here yet," she smiled openly, stepping towards Kimiko. "Let's hurry before the wind picks up, ok, otherwise the wind will be punching us with our bags," Ran spoke up, motioning towards the Kudo's front door.
