Nope… I have decided not to rewatch Detective Conan and just catch up with ones I didn't watch…

Hah… So beware since I have decided this is not completely canon but close to it!

'Hik-! I'm screwed...'

Kaito trembled at the face that slowly resurfaced from the kitchen with an addition of another curious face over him. He tried to swallow the lump rising in his throat watching the horrifying expression that the detective was giving him.

"Ah... I..."

'Ack-! He needs to do something before his little poor life ends by that little demon!!'

He shivered his hands holding tightly on his collar which Kogoro is clearing choking him by grabbing on the backside of the shirt. He cleared his throat after looking up with a bright smile.

"Good morning~ I'm Arthur!"

The father and daughter pair looked at Conan's look-alike with a blank expressions. Kogoro let go of his shirt making the child shriek as he fell on his bottom making rubbing it with a pained look.

"Arthur?! Like Arthur Hirai?!!"

Conan choked at the sudden name that was given out and glared at the responsible culprit. Ran looked between Conan and Kaito in bewilderment.

Kaito couldn't help but nervously chuckled and scratch the back of his head. He couldn't help it! It just go out from the tip of his tongue without knowing, he was in panic mode thinking of a way to escape.

Maybe he should really play out as Arthur Hirai and call out his mom to play along with him since she's Japanese according to the setting! But there was one problem...

"Huh? But you look to have lighter skin though..."

Ran questioned, examining his messy bird's nest-like hair and lighter tone of the skin. But it's not like he doesn't have something planned! Kaito giggled and jumped up and down.

"Isn't it awesome?! Mom sprayed me with this thing and made me into this! She said it wouldn't be off for a while though..."

He looked down and pouted in frustration. She widened her eyes in surprise while Conan stared at him intensely also with confusion. He smirked at the clueless detective.

"Uhm, it's nice to see you again, Arthur-kun... But what are you doing here if you don't mind me asking and your mom?"

"Ah..."

Right... He should think more before acting out on what is added and not in the setting of "Arthur Hirai' from Singapore...

"Ehehe~ She dropped me off and had Conan take me in!"

Ran raised an eyebrow before nodding still looking at him in suspicion. He can understand that since she never actually met Arthur's parents and thought it was actually Conan in disguise.

"T-then I will be taking Arthur to Professor Agasa's place, Ran-neechan!"

Conan tried to stop his stuttering before dragging Kaito outside.

"Wait! Conan-kun..."

Seeing them already blasted out of the door, she grumbled as she looked back to see the breakfast nearly done inside the kitchen. She huffed and placed her fists against her hips and glared at the innocent door. She suddenly frowns, in deep thought.

'Was Arthur ever that cheerful though?'

...

Bang

"What were you thinking back there, KID?!"

Kaito gulped down his salvia feeling sandwiched between the furious detective and the cold scientist behind him. The panicked professor finally calmed down at the sudden guest who had become in a similar situation as the other two then looked at him with sympathy.

'Hey, hey. You gotta be kidding me! Don't look at me like that and jinx it!!'

One look at the professor, Hiroshi Agasa, and he can tell the extreme thought of his outcome with these two demons...

Conan glared at the disregarded thief. This made his foot itch to kick a ball onto his annoying face of his. But this time he won't since it will affect him even more with the overpowered ball due to his small physique.

But that doesn't mean he won't with a normal one. He smirked evilly towards the clueless thief who was staring at the old man and Haibara watching this unfold, couldn't help but sigh in annoyance.

Kaito felt a slight shiver running down his spine to look towards the evil smirk that was plastered on Conan's face. He couldn't help but hiccup at the possible idea that was brought to the detective's mind as he examined the professor who might have a connection with Jii.

"Uhm! I guess I will take a chance to give you a call if you don't mind! And you can discuss my identity problem!"

He didn't even want to stay in that intense atmosphere that had been brought since he had brought him to this place. He couldn't help but heave a sigh tiredly.

'I could deal with my identity on my own with the help of Jii-chan and Mom...'

But he was doubtful if he actually should involve his mom who was overseas. And he needed to make a call, especially Jii since he will worry that he haven't checked up nor returned to Ekoda from Beika.

"Ah~ what should I say though?!"

He scrambled his hair in frustration.

"Hah... I'm just going to what comes as I talk to them... That might take the stress out of me somehow..."

He grabbed onto the phone and dialed the public line.

Vrrrr--

"This is Blue Parrot Bar, Konsuke Jii speaking."

Clearing his throat, he immediately tried to mimic his original voice as Kuroba Kaito.

"Hey, Gramps(Jii-chan)! Sorry I didn't check in..."

Kaito silently laughed then heard sudden clatters from the background making him even more guilty for not calling him sooner. Jii stuttered as he happily laughed on the other end.

"Young master! Oh, how I was worried... Are you okay? I wasn't able to contact you so I worried that something didn't go well..."

There was a sudden halt making Kaito raise his eyebrows in confusion. Even though it's been less than a day since they were in contact, he really missed hearing him ramble about how worried he was so hearing the silence at the other end made him grumble. Just a bit though.

Though the next line from the old man made him surprised and a smile bloomed across his face.

"You're voice... Your not my young master, correct?"

'Wah~ I want to hug Jii-chan so badly~ I knew all those lessons came in handy!'

"Hehe~ Don't worry, I will love to talk to you about my situation right now but I'm not in the best position and I need to take a call for mom as well."

"Madam?"

"Mhmm! Can you cover for me when Aoko asks? It won't be long. I promise!"

Silence appeared once again throughout the call before and affirmation came from him and agreed since he knows his young master well due to their current conversation.

Nagging for him to be careful and not to get in any danger while he is alone, they gave their farewell and hung up.

"Hah... Now mom..."

I have decided to make Agasa and Jii old friends canon here since that is a theory to many people!
