In that moment, Kaito finished another improvised trick in which he disappeared Hakuba, and then made him appear floating in midair, but with his hair turned pink.

Everyone started laughing madly. He would always manage to make a great trick and still make a prank on Hakuba. Well, everyone was laughing except for Aoko, who was yelling at him to put him down in that instant. Kaito, however, smiled at her wife and stole a kiss from her while Hakuba's hair was turning violet.

"Pull him down, now!" she groaned. He did as she wished. He didn't want to sleep in the couch tonight after all.

"Where's Ran?" her husband asked to everyone. "I promised the baby sitter we'll be there around two o' clock, we should be going. She is taking a little while in the bathroom, right?"

Heiji look desperately for Kaito's gaze. If they didn't act quickly, things would be getting ugly, very ugly. Kaito maintain his poker face as he talked to him.

"I'm sure she will be joining us in just a moment, why don't we enjoy another magic trick meanwhile?"

"But it is really late, I should get her and tell her to hurry up" He said as he stood up.

"NO!" yelled Kazuha. Everyone stared at her, his friends making faces to her as to say something, very quickly. "Ohh, err I mean, you won't go in the bathroom, it's better that a woman will get to get her. In addition, Kaito hates to be rejected a performance"

"It's true…" muttered Aoko. Ran's husband nodded.

"In that case, I'll go with you upstairs. Conan said he was tired and wanted to lay down a while, but he hasn't come yet and I really should be going home if I don't want to be grounded." A young female said.


OH, not again. Everyone thought

Heiji cursed his friend in his head.

I'm going to kill him one day, I swear. I don't know why the hell he keeps bringing girlfriends along to ours meetings if he is going to be with 'neechan, it just complicates the things even more.

"OH, he was a little drunk. He might need help to stay on his feet. If he is too boozed to drive, I will get you home when I and Kazuha leave, 'kay? I will go check on him."

"Conan is under-age, he can't drink. With his big sense of justice I doubt he does drink. He's too young." The blonde young woman stared at him, challenging.

'Damned brats' Heiji thought. However he couldn't help but laughing at what she said. The cocky grin on his face. "Oh, believe me, he does. I'll go check on him. Kazuha, wait!" He said turning around and jogging to join his wife.

It was when they got to de middle of the stairs that they stopped.

"What are we going to do, Heiji?" Kazuha asked burying her head in his chest.

"I will say Conan is too drunk, and you will say Ran's not feeling well. I suppose she is going to get down first, so then I'll came back here and tell him not to go back there. Now, we wait some minutes before we come back to the garden with the others." He smiled sweetly at her.

"Why do you think this is happening, Heiji?"

"Oh, well it was kinda inevitable, don't you think?"

"It is because of him? I have seen photos, they're identical. Do you think she even loves Conan, Heiji? Or she is just playing with him because he reminds her of her first love?"

Heiji got into shock, he wasn't expecting 'Zuha to question her best friend, and less she was expecting her to talk about Kudo. He was the same person for what it mattered. He looked at her in her eyes.

"I'm sure she loves him very much, 'Zuha." And then, he kissed his beautiful wife.
