DISCLAIMER: I do not own Magic Kaito!

Thanks for your reviews :D I was really happy when I read that you like my story :D

Chapter Two: I never wanted to lose you

Aoko's POV

I feel numb. What did just happen?

Flashback –

I just ran away. I didn't know where to go, so I just ran… and ran… and ran until I couldn't run anymore. I pant heavily as I stop. I look around and I'm shocked to see where I am.

"This is…"

I bite my lips as, once again, tears begin to cloud my eyes.

"…the clock tower where I first met Kaito." I mumble. Why did I come here? I just wanted to be alone and don't think about Kaito for a moment, so why did I come here? Maybe because… Damn! This idiot is just too damn important to me!

"You kind of look like Angel…"

I turn around as I hear a woman's voice.

"Who are you?"

I wipe away my tears.

"And who is Angel?"

She shakes her head.

"That doesn't matter now. Nakamori Aoko, I need you to come with me."

"Huh? Why? How do you know my name?" I back away a bit. I feel uneasy. I don't really understand, but I feel like I shouldn't be around her. Who is this woman?

I look at her. She is really beautiful with her long blonde hair and green eyes.

"Sorry, but I don't have the time to just play around." She looks into my eyes as she is coming closer. I want to back away, I want to run, but I can't. I'm scared. What does she want from me?

She takes a handkerchief out of her pocket and slowly presses it against my mouth and nose. I still can't move an inch. I'm paralyzed…I'm scared…

My vision begins to get blurry. Why? Is it the handkerchief? There's this weird smell coming from it. I begin to feel tired and numb.

"That should do it." the woman says as she takes the handkerchief away. I fall over, but she catches me. What is going on? I feel like something bad will happen.

"K-Kaito… help…me…" I manage to say with a weak voice, before I close my eyes and everything goes black.

Flashback End –

Wait a second! Does that mean I was kidnapped?! I try to stand up, but I can't. That's when I first realize that I'm tied to a chair. What is going on? I look around, but all I see is an empty room. Where is this? Where am I? Tears roll down my cheeks. Why was I kidnapped? I don't understand it at all. What do they want from me?

That's not what really bothers you… a voice in my head says.

Yeath, that's right. I'm scared, I don't know why I am here or what to do, but… to be honest the thing I am most afraid of is neither being here nor not knowing what's going on.

The thought that scares me the most is the thought of not being able to see him again. What if the people that brought me here are real criminals? What if… Whaft if they kill me? If that happens I won't be able to see Kaito ever again. I won't be able to ask him why he became a thief. I won't be able to shout at him and tell him that it was wrong. I won't be able to… I won't be able to see his magic again. I won't be able to tell him what I thought when I read his letter. I won't...

"I won't be able to tell him that I love him despite all the lies!"

I look up as I hear someone clapping.

"Nice show."

In front of me stands the woman that brought me here.

"What do you want from me?"

"From you? Nothing, but I will send this video here to your friend." She says as she shows me a video camera.

"Vi...deo...?"

"What do you think will Kaito-kun do if he sees you tied to a chair, crying and confessing your love?"

My eyes widen in shock. She was not after me…. What she really wants is KID… Kaito…

"He will come here, don't you think? He will try to rescue you."

"He won't come, he's in prison!" I say.

"I'm sure he's out already."

"What?"

"Nothing. Let's continue with my prediction: He will try to rescue you as I said, but once he comes here he will be our marionette. He will do us a 'favor' and once he's done with that his pure white clothes will become deep red."

"NO!" I shout. She intends to… no it can't be!

"See you later, I have a video to send." With that she left the room and I was alone again.

I look at the floor. Kaito… Kaito…please don't come here, because if you come here you will… Kaito you will die…so…

"PLEASE DON'T COME HERE, KAITO!"

Kaito's POV

What was that? Just now I felt like someone called my name.

"What's wrong, KID?" asks a tall, black-haired man… what was his name again? Akai Shuichi, I think.

"Nothing… but can't you call me by any other name?"

"If you would tell us your real name we could call you by that." Tantei-kun adds

"Fine. I'll tell you my name, if you tell me why you freed me, Tantei-kun."

He looked at Akai-san who nodded lightly.

"We have to tell him sooner or later, so I don't see a problem here. If James says something I'll take responsibility."

I look at the both of them as I cross my arms in front of my chest.

"Once I know what to call you, I will tell you, KID."

I sigh lightly.

"My name's Kuroba Kaito."

"Kuroba? Like in Kuroba Toichi?"

I nod, but I don't look at him. I don't want to talk about dad. They don't need to know why I became KID.

"He was my mother's disguise teacher, but you probably know that."

"Yeah, I know. Sometimes when they met, I went along." I smile lightly and Tantei-kun smiles in return.

Then he told me everything I wanted to know. He told me that Akai Shuichi was an FBI Agent, believe me I did not expect that. He told me why they freed me and what they wanted me to do.

I look at the both of them.

"So, to summarize: You want me to play bait so you can capture those bad guys of yours who are in the same organization as Snake, but you can't guarantee that they won't kill me off. Did I forget anything?"

Shinichi sighed.

"Don't make it sound like we are trying to get you killed. You will be wearing a bullet proof vest and sharp shooters will be prepared to help you out. Am I wrong, Akai-san?"

"You are right, boy.

KID… I mean Kaito… you may be a thief, but we won't let them kill you only to get them arrested. If it gets too dangerous your life comes first.

Of course we won't force you to do anything, but if you agree you don't have to go back to prison."

I begin to grin.

"You know… I would have agreed from the start. I just wanted to know what you would say if I made it sound like something I wouldn't do."

"Just like KID… you are so like you, you know that?" Shinichi asks.

I stand up from the chair I was sitting on, so that I can bow.

"Thank you very much, Tantei-kun."

If I can stay out of prison with this, then I will help them of course. You want to know why? If I help them, then my identity won't be revealed and Aoko will be save. Also, if everything goes according to the plan, Snake will be in prison instead of me.

"So what's your-" I get interrupted by the ringing of a cell phone.

"Sorry, that's mine." Shinichi says.

He looks at his phone and seems to read the message he just got. I decide to go on with my question.

"As I wanted to ask: What's your plan? What exactly should I do?"

Akai-san was about to answer my question, but Shinichi stopped him.

"Wait… I think we have got a problem."

"What is it?" I look at Shinichi as Akai-san asks him.

He looks at the floor. His glasses are reflecting the light, so that his eyes can't be seen. I don't like this, because, as I know him, this can have two meanings. One; he just solved a difficult case and knows how to expose the culprit. Two; something very bad just happened. Considering that there's no case to be solved here, it has to be number two.

"Kaito…"

"Yes?"

"Do you know someone by the name of Nakamori Aoko?"

"Aoko? She's a good friend of mine… why?"

Why does he want to know about Aoko all of sudden?

He doesn't say anything, he just shows me his phone, but that is enough. One look at the video he is showing me right now is enough for my world to crumble. All I ever wanted was to avenge dad and protect Aoko, seems that I failed at both points.

"Sorry…" I now look at the males in front of me.

"I can't help you with your plan. I have to save Aoko."

"We can help you, Kaito." Shinichi says.

I shake my head.

"Yes, I know that you could help me, but I don't want you to get hurt as well, Tantei-kun. Aoko's in danger because of me and I'm going to rescue her, alone. As soon as she is free, please take care of her…"

"If you ask me to take care of her… do you assume that you won't make it out alive?"

"No, I don't assume it Tantei-kun, I know it."

Fastest update ever, haha :D

How did you like it? (:

The part with Kaito and co is kind of… weird (not the right word, but the word I'm searching for won't come to my mind ._. ) in my opinion, but I needed it for the plot, gomenasai , next chapter will be better, I promise (:

Please tell me what you think (:

Oh and sorry if some characters are ooc ^^'
