Chapter 7

RavenDoveVerse

Shinichi smiled at the look of confusion on Kaitos face. On the way out of the Dragons Den Kaito had suggested going into the shopping centre to kill some tine. Shinichi had agreed, and like trips that involved Shinichi and 'his Kaito' they had ended up in a magic store.

This didn't confuse Kaito, even though he came more willingly than the other Shinichi. What likely did was when Shinichi walked over to a basket of foam juggling balls and started juggling them, at least 8 which wasn't many by Kaito but seeing Shinichi do it was a different matter.

Shinichi frowned thoughtfully as he juggled them, focusing on third weight and size. He then smiled with satisfaction and pulled over a basket which he dropped them into. He then looked up and noticed Kaitos look, then remembered that the other Shinichi wasn't a magician,
"Oh, sorry," he said quickly, glancing around to make sure he hadn't attracted too much attention.
Kaito blinked then shook his head, "No it's ok, guess seeing...youdoing magic is still weird."

Shinichi chuckled sheepishly as he picked up a few other props, "I didn't use it openly until I became Phantom, I guess it sort of opened me up a little. Me and kai do shows in a small restaurant every week or so..."
Kaito smiled kindly as Shinichi paused, "You really miss it don't you,"
Shinichi nodded and Kaito recognised the signs of a well practiced poker face, "Yeah but you know what they say, make the most of now~"
Kaito chuckled then took the basket off Shinichi, "Here, I'll go pay for that," Kaito smirked as Shinichi was about to protest, "Besides, you don't have any money do you?"

That shut him up, and Shinichi walked with Kaito to the counter where he handed the woman the money with a familiar seeming smile. Kaito probably came here often. Shinichi watched as Kaito took the carrier bag from the woman then handed it to Shinichi.
Shinichi smiled sheepishly as he took it and they started walking out, "Thanks for paying Kaito," He said rubbing the back of his head
Kaito grinned at him, "Its ok, its not your fault you don't have money with you," Kaito then gently grabbed Shinichi around his wrist and pulled him towards a shop "Come on, there's a really good ice cream shop here I often go to~"
Shinichi grinned then sped up slightly to follow the energetic Kaito.

"So, ya' tellin' tha' me ya vampire,"
"Yup,"
"Tha' came from another world,"
"Correct,"
"Due to a magical rock,"
"Most likely"
"An' now you've swapped with the Kudo from this world and are stuck,"
"That's about it."

Heiji stared at Shinichi, then frowned at him, "An' just how tha hell am I meant to believe tha off tha go!"
Shinichi sighed and buried his face in his palm as Kaito chuckled at him, 'Honestly, he's worse than my Hattori…' Shinichi breathed in s if bracing himself "And how do you explain the fangs, the wings or ears?" he asked, his wings shifting slightly where they had been wrapped his shoulders.
"Or the fact he was about to kiss me, and I don't mean a cousins type of kiss" Kaito added from his seat on a fallen tree.

Heiji spluttered slightly "W…well" He began, trying to sort it out in his head, "Tha ears an' fangs an' stuff could just be a costume or somethin. Ya two do like ta mess with me…"
Shinichi smirked at Heiji's dodging of what Kaito had brought up, "I could bite you if you want, that would show you they're real."
Heiji felt a small shudder wash over him as Shinichi smirked, again showing those abnormally long teeth, "N… no thanks Kudo,"

Shinichi chuckled then looked down with a bit more of a forced smile, "Not much choice soon though…"
"What do you mean?" Kaito asked from his seat, concerned about the worry he had seen set into Shinichi,

Shinichi sighed as he thought about how to explain something, "When a vampire drinks we can take bottled blood that we get given by gathering spot owners. Normally we should take a bottle each day but a while ago I sort of 'trained' myself to go on a larger amount for longer so I can last maybe 3 days without some which is a lot for a vampire. Then we have to take blood fresh from a living person once a month, which means that I'm due to feed around now…"

"Cant ya just live without or jut from bottles if ya have to, rather than using humans as cattle?"
Heiji winced as Shinichi spun to face him and hissed slightly, his glare heavy and anger filled. Shinichi then closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself, "We… I am still a person, even if I need the blood of living to survive," Shinichi muttered, and the faint shaking tone caused a wave of guilt to wash over Heiji as he realised what he had said, "When ever I have to… drink, I have to find a person and knock them out. Its all done with the upmost care and the person had the memories of the 'fed' blocked from them, and I only ever take enough to sustain myself. The taken blood is replaced by dulled venom that no longer can turn a person that is replaced with human blood as time passes."

Heiji moved back slightly, this Shinichi was behaving completely different to the normal, secretly playful Shinichi he knew, "I…sorry Kudo," He muttered.
Shinichi shook his head, "It's alright, I understand," He knew this world would fear vampires even more, a creature that shouldn't exist to them,
"But what are you going to do?" Kaito asked, "I mean, I know we need to try and get you home but what about while you're here?"

Shinichi sighed, "For now, I should feed before something happens. I don't know how moving worlds will have affected my resistance and the longer I go without fresh the more I play the risk of not controlling my actions."
Heiji tilted his head, "So wha', you just go into a persons home an…" He trailed off
"No, I have strict rules against going into other peoples homes, I am still a detective with the law."

Shinichi sighed as he rubbed his head, "But to be honest, I want to get back more than anything."
Kaito nodded, "Understandable. If magic got you here wouldn't magic get you back?"
Heiji scoffed, "Heh magic, as if we could find something like tha' easily."
Kaito grinned, "Oh you'd be surprised who I know Hei-chan~"

"Well, its getting late anyway," Shinichi muttered looking up through the trees to the sky, "perhaps you two should head home?"
Kaito nodded as he stood up, "Alright, I'm guessing you've got somewhere to stay Hei-chan?"
Heiji smirked slightly "Actually, I was plannin' on askin' Kudo if I could bunk at his place for tha night…"
Shinichi rolled his eyes, 'Well, still as annoying as my Heiji after all…' "If your Shinichi normally allows it then you can,"

Kaito nodded to Shinichi to say that he does, and then frowned, "But what about you, will you be ok out at night?"
Shinichi smirked again, showing the fangs "I'm a vampire, I'm built for the night." He then put his charm on and his body seemed to become that of a normal human, and slipped through the trees into the shadows.

Shinichi smiled at Kaito as they walked back into the house that his other self shared with Kaito. This Kaito seemed to act much more energetic than his Kaito, probably due to not growing up with Shinichi around as from what he heard of this worlds Shinichi Kaito seemed to have an effect on him when growing up.
"Calm down Kaito," Shinichi said putting his bag down.
Kaito smiled as he looked back, "But today was fun, I can't believe you willingly helped me dye people's hair! ~"

Shinichi smiled as he watched Kaito putting the stuff away, but inside he frowned. Shinichi had also grown up with a poker face and could recognise when one was been put on. Kaito was worried, scared even.
"Its late Kaito we should get to bed." Kaito stopped where he was and Shinichi raised an eyebrow.
Kaito slowly looked at him chuckling nervously, "Err, so who gets the spare room?"

Shinichi frowned, then realised what Kaito was pointing out. That the other Shinichi and Kaito… "I don't care who, but we are not sharing"

Kaito laughed and held up his hands in defence, "Alright alright, I get it," He said grinning, "There's a spare room, you can sleep in there."
Shinichi nodded gratefully, and then walked up the stairs into Kaitos room. "I guess I'll have to borrow his pyjamas," He said going through draws to find them. He pulled out a pair and frowned at them as Kaito chuckled from the door, "They're mine," He said pulling open a different draws, "These are Shin-chans"

Shinichi frowned slightly picking one up, "Not much difference," He said, walking out the room holding the clothing while Kaito continued to chuckle,
"Night Shin-chan~"
Shinichi frowned at the door, but not harshly, "Baro," He muttered before shutting the bedroom door with a small smile.

Kaito looked up and walked out into the corridor as he heard the window open and movement. He stuck his head out as Heiji did from the spare room to see Shinichi shutting the window behind him.

Shinichi glanced behind him and grinned sheepishly, "Sorry, did I wake you?"
Heiji shook his head, "Not me, but did ya have to climb in through tha window?"
"Well… I thought you may be asleep," Shinichi muttered,
"I wanted to stay awake until you came back," Kaito explained,
Shinichi smiled gratefully, "Thank you,"

Heiji looked to the window, and then smirked playfully at Shinichi "I thought ya didn't break into other peoples houses?"
Shinichi paused, then frowned lightly, "Baro, I think this situation is an acceptation,"
Kaito laughed then yawned, "Well, I guess we can all get some sleep then~"
Shinichi looked at his bedroom door and Heiji noticed a small passing of sadness through his eyes before Shinichi nodded, "Yeah, we could all use some rest…"

Shinichi then slipped quickly and silently into a room and closed the door without another word. Heiji raised an eyebrow and looked to Kaito, "Wha's up with him?"
Kaito sighed, "He misses his Kaito. Back where he's from the two of them… well they're not cousins…"
Heiji stared, then failed to piece together the seemingly impossible information in his head, "Wha's tha' meant to mean?"
Kaito stared, and then facepalmed, "You know Hei-chan, for a detective you can't half be completely romantically oblivious."

The look of pure confusion Heiji sent Kaito confirmed his last statement, and Kaito turned to go into his room, "Goodnight Tantei-han~" He sang out as he shut the door and fell onto his bed, 'I just hope we can help him get back…'
