Sorry everyone!! I didn't have much time to write up this chapter.
PLEASE REVIEW!!! THANKS!
In the meantime, a young looking woman with platinum blonde hair stared through the clear colored liquid in her glass, the same liquid for which her code name came from. "I wonder what that little boy's doing by now."She made a turn with her wrist, swishing her vermouth over the ice. She turned her head to look over at her dartboard. Her picture of Sherry, Cool Kid, and Angel had gone missing ever since that FBI agent Jodie Starling had taken them, but where Shiho Miyano's picture had been, was still riddled with holes. Everything she did nowadays were filled with hatred. Well, almost everything. Helping Cool Kid was still a worthy cause, but it was only one of the very few worthy causes. She wished she could go back to that time, back to ten years ago. That was way back when she was learning the art of disguise with Yukiko from Kuroba Toichi. She still couldn't understand why That Person gave the order to kill him…
Kaoru Kuroba pushed open Kaito's door. It was, as expected, empty. It also happened to be kept extremely neat. She pushed open the secret door, hidden behind her late husband's portrait, and turned to the metal file cabinet to the far right corner of the room. Kaito always updated the information stored there, which contained profiles and pictures of his friends, family, neighbors, law enforcement related individuals, etc., and all crime files he had been associated with. The third drawer contained information on any other subject, and any important papers Kaito had.
Kaoru first opened the top drawer, the one with files on people. She flipped through the alphabetically organized tabs, until she came to the one that was labeled "Miyano, Shiho". She pulled it out, replacing it with an oversized piece of bright red construction paper, so she wouldn't forget where to put the file. Kaoru opened the file, and as she did, a small, white index card fluttered to the floor. She bent down to pick it up, and flipped it over. It merely had a date and time written on it. Kaoru smiled to herself as she removed the red paper and replaced the beige colored file. "I remember now! That child, he's gone to fulfill his promise to her, hasn't he? But what now? He's been plotting something for the past month. He's been trying to talk to me about it, but he's still undecided about it."
After a while, Kaoru Kuroba decided to open up the bottom drawer. She never liked to snoop, but she sensed that Kaito was going to tell her anyway. Kaoru placed her hand on the metal handle, and pulled. None of the files in here were labeled, but she knew that if Kaito didn't organize something according to alphabetical order, then it was most likely chronological. She took out the first file. As she opened it, her eyes opened wide. "So, this is what you plan to propose to that girl."
Unaware of being followed by three first-graders, two high school detectives, and one shrunken cousin, Kaito walked to the empty lot. No building had ever replaced the old auditorium after the fire. The large rectangle of land was covered on two sides by a small forest. He sighed at the sight of the small rose bush. "So you did come after all." Kaito looked up at the pretty, brown haired girl. He smiled at her, "I've never broken a promise before. Told lies, yes, but breaking promises, never. And, as promised, I am still taking you out on a date." Kaito held out his hand, and Shiho took it. The two walked out towards the street, away from place where they had first met. It was the place where they played together for two years, the place where Kaito's father had been killed, and the place where the two of them had promised to meet again exactly ten years after the day they met.
Haibara led Kaito around a few shops. None of the people following her had seen her look so happy and childish before. They couldn't help but gasp at how cute she looked, talking to Kaito and pulling him along.
After a while, Shiho and Kaito sat down on a bench facing a small pond in a park. He put his left arm over her shoulders. The two of them talked for a while. "You know, that girl is pretty strong, both physically and mentally," Shiho said, looking up at him. "True, but she's not as strong as she would have been if it weren't for that accident," Kaito replied. Shiho looked away, switching her gaze towards the pond and thought, "An accident? Are you truly sure of that?"She responded, "Your personality changed with it too. You were so much like Akemi before it happened. That part of you seems to have left." Kaito merely pulled her closer. Shiho leaned her head against his shoulder.
The two had talked a while more about other things until Kaito decided to ask Shiho something. It was extremely important to him; he had thought it over many times, and Kaito knew that the day would come when this girl's life may depend on her answer.
So..... How was it? A little confusing? Don't worry, because you'll get it later on...
