Rain, Rain

(KaitoxAoko)

Disclaimer: Yep, you guessed it. I don't own Magic Kaito. It belongs to Aoyama Gosho. But, Koichi and Ruriko belong to me!

Engineer MOTZ1412: Good day to all my passengers!

Ruriko(see previous chapter): -waves-Morning!

motzKID: I'm glad you could join us, Ruri-chan!

Ruriko: Actually, I need to go in a few minutes 'cause Koichi and I are going to play in the park.

motzKID: ooooh, looks like somebody likes someone –sneers-

Ruriko: -blush- I DO NOT! ..and just so you know, me and Koichi are just friends. F-R-I-E-N-D-S.

motzKID: -half-moon eyes- right... Anyway, please enjoy this fic entitled, "Rain, Rain," and will be about KaitoxAoko

Ruriko: K-Koichi's mom and d-dad?

motzKID: Yep!

Ruriko: -blush- I-I think I'm gonna stay here for a while…

It was raining again. This time, it was hard. Schools have been cancelled due to this 'incoming typhoon'. Well, of course, by mean school, I mean, even Ekoda High. It started the minute when…

"Attention all students," the principal called through the speakers that went on to every classroom, "due to the heavy rains," students are starting to whisper, "we would be having our dismissal in 5 minutes, please pack up and inform your parents."

-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-

Yes, you could hear students cheering, clapping and even, dancing. Well, you may think it's idiotic to dance because school was canceled. Wrong. Let's proceed to Ekoda High Class 2B then, shall we?

There, standing at the back of the classroom, was Kuroba Kaito, well, not dancing but… let's just say, he's celebrating. He threw cards everywhere and confetti filled the classroom floor.

--

"Kuroba Kaito, I want this mess to be cleaned up, now!" the teacher scolded him. He didn't mind though and ran towards the door and before he could slam it close, he stuck his head, "so long, suckers!" and slammed it and the Class B could hear him scream with joy through the halls. Nakamori Aoko, as well as the class, stared at the closed door in shock, "typical Kaito," they all mumbled with half-moon eyes.

Alas, the bell had rung as everyone grabbed their things and exited to the door. Aoko, who was alone since Kaito left her, passed by her locker, "umbrella...," she thought as she opened her locker to change her school shoes.

"Aoko, do you have an umbrella?"

Aoko, startled, looked to her left, then to the right. Her eyebrow up, she looked up and saw a boy, sitting above the lockers, "Kaito! Get down from there or you'll be expelled, this time!" she scolded. He jumped down, "I didn't bring an umbrella and I just remembered that when I went our the school building and noticed I was getting wet," he grinned sheepishly.

"Well, duh, Kaito. Of course you'll get wet!" she pulled out an umbrella from her locker, "I doubt this would work," she said.

"Why?"

"Because," she opened the umbrella and frowned at it, "it's full of holes," she pouted. Well, knowing Kaito, his reply would be, "geez, Aoko! Who keeps an umbrella full of holes?!" he laughed. Aoko looked at him with half-moon eyes, "I guess we'll have to stay here in school," she frowned.

Kaito folded his arms behind his head and leaned against the lockers, "…what should we do…?"

"Oh, if it isn't Kuroba-kun and Nakamori-san?" Akako smiled as she opened her purple umbrella, "what's with those long faces?" she asked. Kaito's face brightened, "Koizumi-kun! You have an umbrella," he stood properly. Akako smirked, "too late, Hakuba-kun already reserved this," she smiled, leaving.

"Aww, darn," Kaito whined. Suddenly, Aoko smiled, "hey, isn't your house near here?" she asked.

"Earth to Aoko," Kaito sneered, "you've been coming and going from my house. You should that it is," he said with half-moon eyes.

"Why don't we just walk under the rain for a bit and I'll stay over at your house until the rain stops?" she suggested.

"What? Do you want us to catch a cold?"

"Why worry, Kaito? I'm sure school doesn't start until Monday," she smiled.

He frowned, "alright," he sighed, "I still have a heist tomorrow but, what the heck..?" he sighed, "we don't have any choice."

Heavy footsteps made tiny splash sound as they hit the wet ground of Tokyo, Aoko and Kaito walked. Aoko sneezed a little, "curse this stupid rain," she sniffed. Suddenly, "here," Kaito handed her his school jacket (you know, those black ones that students in Japan wear...), "or else your dad's gonna kill me if you catch a cold," he blushed a little and turned away.

Aoko stared down to the jacket, "oh, thanks," she smiled, flushed as she used it as her 'umbrella'. Kaito was, well, wet and cold while Aoko walked, looking at him, "are you okay?" she asked. He nodded, "I'm used to it. You know, because sometimes, while I'm flying up there, rain would start to pour and my hang-gli--" he paused and realized what he just said.

"Fly?" Aoko repeated. "A-ah, that was a joke," he grinned, his eyebrow twitching.

"eh…," Aoko mumbled.

As they reached the Kuroba House, Kaito searched for the key in his pocket, "mom's not home until tomorrow," he informed. "Oh," Aoko replied. Suddenly, "Oh, -insert curse here- I think I left my key…," he said as he reached for his back pocket.

"Aw, great! We're cold, wet and stuck," Aoko mumbled.

"How about your house?" he asked, sitting on the doorstep.

"Locked. I was supposed to stay over at Keiko's but she was absent to day, right?" she sat beside him.

There was silence.

Kaito shivered a little, "curse this rain…," he mumbled. Aoko smiled and put his jacket on him, "you need this now," she said, leaning forward and her forehead against his, "slight fever," she leaned back.

Kaito blushed, "I'm perfectly f-" he sneezed, "-ine." Aoko looked at him, "I'm sure we would be fine out here. What's better than observing the rain?" she smiled. Suddenly, the lightning struck, thunder roared.

"What are y-you doing…?" Kaito blushed with half-moon eyes as Aoko hugged him, her head on his chest, "Aoko…?" he asked.

"Eh?" she sat up, "s-sorry," she mumbled, blushing as she looked away. Kaito scratched his cheeks, blushing too. He felt her shiver beside him, causing him to look at her.

"W-What?" she stared back in question. "Don't try to hide it," Kaito sneered, "you're cold, aren't you?" he asked. He wrapped his arms around her, "no use to hide it. Well, not from me, that is," he smiled. Aoko, who was surprised by her childhood friend's sudden kindness, blushed furiously but she didn't mind at all. It was Kaito, after all.

Suddenly, the thunder roared again. Aoko shut her eyes and slowly opened it, "that was…. wow," she mumbled.

"Hey, Aoko,"

Aoko looked at him, "hmm?"

"N-nothing…," he looked away, she could see him blush.

Aoko looked at him, "what? What is it?" she asked. He glanced up at her and then down to his shoes again, "I was just thinking. Usually, you wouldn't suggest something like, 'let go to your house and I'll stay over there.' Like that," he imitated, "why? Why did you do that?" he asked.

"What do you mean? Of course I'll say that since your house is nearer," she smiled.

He shook his head, "no. You usually would say, 'I guess I'll go home now. I'd rather be stuck outside my house that being with you.' that," he imitated her voice again.

Aoko's eyes widened, and hid her blush, "a-ah, that one. W-well t-t-that one…," she tried to explain. Without a reason she tried to change the subject as she frowned, "h-how about you? You usually will say, 'no way! I don't want an ugly girl staying in my house.' like that," she reasoned.

"Then," Kaito's bangs covered his eyes, "what if I just wanted to be with you?" he asked with a smirk. Aoko's eyes widened, "eh?" she stared at him, not believing what she's hearing. "Ever thought of that?" he looked at her, his arms still around her.

Aoko fell silent, "is that what he wanted to tell me all along?" she thought, blushing. Suddenly, Kaito leaned forward, his lips against hers. Aoko's eyes widened but then, she slightly smiled under his lips.

Kaito knew that any time now, she would push him off and scream. But then again, he couldn't hide his feelings for her. Not anymore. But what surprised him the most is that she kissed back. SHE KISSED BACK. Expected but still, he was surprised. He didn't show it though, no, not with his poker face on.

Aoko felt her body warmth up by his kiss although the rain was still pouring down. She pulled back a little, but Kaito's arms tightened around her waist, pulling her in for another kiss. Water dropped down from his wet hair to his cheeks, then, to their locked lips.

No words could explain the feelings inside the two teenagers. They were childhood friends at first, but hey, who said friends can't be lovers? The cared for each other; they get jealous when either one of them gets near to an opposite gender; they both liked each other. What's more to prove? They loved each other; and that's all there is to know

THE NEXT DAY…

AAAAAACHOOOO!

Kaito sniffed as he got another tissue and wiped his nose. "Kaito, you're so troublesome! How in the world did you end up getting a cold? I thought you brought your umbrella yesterday?" his mother placed a cup of hot tea on his side-table.

Kaito chuckled, with heavy colds, "funny story, actually…," he tried to reason. His mother turned away, "I'm tired of listening to your reasons. Jeez, Kaito! You're just like your father!" his mother left.

Kaito pulled the blanket to his neck, "well, whether or not I have an umbrella, I still manage to tell her the truth," he mumbled.

::-::-::-::-::

Achoo!

Aoko rubbed her nose as she pulled the blanket to her neck.

"Aoko, why in the world did you end up getting sick?" Nakamori asked his daughter. "Kaito's fault! He passed me his virus!" she explained.

"How DID the virus reach you?" her father asked, "without physical contact, there's no WAY it could be passed to you," he said.

"well," Aoko pouted, "we kissed. THAT'S physical contact!" she thought angrily.
