Minawa: Thank you all for the nice and supportive comments and reviews, I'm glad you like the story. I'm taking time to make it interesting so be patient ;)

Now, enjoy!

I had decided to avoid Kid at all cost. Still, that didn't stop him from staring a lot whenever we'd meet in the kitchen or hallways. I wanted to ask him what he really wanted but figured I propably didn't want to know.

I traced my fingers on my chin, recalling the "fun" that Kid had earlier. I felt my face heat up but shook my head before grabbing my toothbrush and closing the cabinet door. In the mirror I now saw Kid standing behind me. I turned quickly, staring at his grinning face.

"Damn it, Kid! Don't. Do. That." I said and reached for the toothpaste. Kid still grinned, walking closer. I jumped out of the way, not sure what he was going to do. He eyed me with amusement before opening the mirror and getting his own toothbrush. I sighed.

We brushed our teeth in silence for a while. Once Kid had finished I spat out the foam and washed my brush. Gently Kid's finger brushed my lips, catching some foam. He brought his finger to his own lips and licked the foam.

"You know, there is something really sexy with that look..." he said and I frowned. Once I got his hidden message I blushed a vivid red and rushed out of the bedroom, wiping my mouth with my sleeve. What a perv...!

That night I locked the bedroom door and put up a simple laser alarm the professor had given me... just to be sure I'd sleep undisturbed. I mean, what did Kid want anyway? He wants the necklace right?

My chest felt heavy at that thought, even though I couldn't understand why. All I wanted was to get away from this damned necklace... but not him...I shook my head at the thought and regretted thinking too hard about it. Tomorrow would be a weekend and I'd talk with the police force. That key had to be somewhere around.

I woke to a knock on the door and as I turned and rubbed my eyes the door opened. In came Kid with a tray.

"Good morning, sunshine!" he said in a jolly voice. I glared at him and then looked around.

"My door was locked... where is my alarm system?" I asked suspicious of him. He grinned as he walked over to my bed. He shrugged.

"I disarmed it last night, can't have it wake you up, you know? Besides, the lock is no problem for me" he said with a smile and offered the tray. I glanced at it.

Golden brown pancakes were served together with syrup and some orange juice on the side. I glanced at him carefully but took the tray as he sat down.

"You're not having any?" I asked him.

"I already had some" he answered. I sat silent for a few moments before grabbing a pancake. I offered it, one brow raised.

"You wouldn't mind trying one?" I said, testing him. Of course I didn't trust the guy. Kid rolled his eyes but took the pancake and had a bite. I glared at him some more but didn't say anything else as I tried to eat some. As soon as I had a bite I was surprised at how delicious it was!

Kid grinned and got up, walking to the door.

"When I think about it... maybe I put something in the orange juice" he said and glanced back at me, glass at my lips. I stared at him and then looked at the juice. Kid left with that and I felt a vein pop. This guy was seriously messing with me...

A few hours later the two of us were at the scene of the crime. I looked over the room with all its corners and windows. I walked around as Kid watched silently. Well, almost silently...

"They already wiped the place clean, the control room as well." Kid said, I eyed him but shrugged.

"Nakamori said he hid it so maybe he just can't recall where..." I said and spotted an air vent. It was pretty small, about the size of a hand. One of the screws were lose... could it be?

I walked over and tugged at the grid. Sure enough, it was very loose. I opened it and felt around inside. Nothing.

I sighed and placed the grid back in its place. Walking over to Kid I tried to think of my next step. Nakamori didn't know where it was; the place had been checked...

"Could someone have taken the key...?" I asked. Kid raised an eyebrow.

"Who would do that?" he asked. I frowned.

"Someone who wants the necklace, no doubt. Maybe it's another thief." I said and walked towards the door, Kid following close. I sighed.

"I mean, you want the necklace off so it can't be you..." I said and walked out into the hallway. Kid grinned.

"Right..." he simply said as we left the museum.

Kaito POV

Now what? Even if he didn't suspect me now it would only be a matter of time. I sighed and watched the teenager order burgers. So cute...

Still, I had an advantage as long as Shinichi thought another thief was involved. After all, all I needed was to check the necklace's valuable stone under the moonlight and that was still another week away... until then I could have my fun.

Shinichi came over to the table, carrying a tray of food. He was frowning hard as he sat down. I reached over and stroked his eyebrow with my thumb and smiled.

"You'll get a headache..." I said as he pulled away in surprise. He blushed slightly and mumbled something about keeping my hands to myself. I chuckled and shrugged as I grabbed my burger.

"Don't think about it too hard, the key will appear sooner or later. I'm sure someone just misplaced it or forgot where it was and will find it one of these days..." I said and had a bite, knowing very well where the key was. Shinichi glared at me.

"Well, I'm getting sick of turtleneck sweaters..." he said and dug into his food. I smiled and we ate in silence. I too disliked the sweaters, they covered too much skin...

Minawa: *glares at Kid* ...Kid.

Kid: *looks away*

Minawa: What. Did. You. Do? *raises a brow*

Kid:... *cough*
