The Cat-astrophe
Chapter 8: A Night As Neko-Furry Shinichi
The next school day, Lupin sat the first half of the day on top of Kaito's head. At first, Kaito had tried to remove him but eventually just shrugged and left him there with his wide grin. From up there, Lupin actually helped launch some of Kaito's hair dye pellets around the room better. Kaito just pointed out his target with a slight nod of his head, then tossed the pellet into the air, and Lupin swatted it onto the victim's head. Hakuba turned to glare at Kaito as he knew that Lupin was helping him reck havoc on the students.
During Lunch, Lupin jumped off of his head and ran off to follow Akako when she had stopped at the door and glance at him with a smirk.
Around the back of the school, Lupin found Akako leaning against a tree.
"I knew you'd be coming my neko-tantei." She said smirking at him as he trotted over. "I believe your here to ask more about the catnip? And how I knew?"
Lupin looked up at her with his cerulean blue eyes and nodded.
"Very well then. I knew because of Lucifer, my servant, as I said in the note. He can tell me almost anything I want to know. Including that you and Kaito are none other than the Kaitou Thieves. But what I can't do is cast a spell on you because of the science in your blood stream nor can I influence Kaito's heart for some reason. But I was able to find out that catnip is part of the antidote for your current condition. All you need to do is inhale the aroma from point blank range and that should suffice." Akako said. Lupin cocked his head at her, one question still on his mind.
Why do you want to help me? Lupin thought still a bit confused. Akako laughed, knowing the question on his mind.
"I am doing this only for my personal gain." She said. After a bit of a pause, she added. "And because I want to see the way this goes. You... fascinate me." Akako turned to leave. "Good luck little neko-tantei."
Lupin sat there for a second before shooting forward and leaping onto her shoulder. He purred into her ear then licked her cheek before blushing, if cats can blush, the running back to Kaito.
After school, Lupin and Kaito sat in the KID headquaters planning for that nights heist. Kaito had already sent out the note earlier that day. Their target, a beautiful emerald strung on a necklace of gold and silver designs that had been found in ruins of an ancient civilization.
"Ok," said Kaito with his signature KID grin. "Plans are all set! You sure you don't want to participate Lupin?" he said looking at the cat who was sitting on top of the blue prints.
"Meow!" Lupin replied.
Earlier, Lupin had torn up the parts of the plan that had Lupin in them. Kaito took that as a 'I don't want to help this time'. So, Kaito had rewritten all of his plans, but Lupin had still sat there reading them, or so it seemed to Kaito.
But everyone knows that cats can't read, right? Kaito thought as he glanced over at Lupin.
"Well," Kaito said standing up and grabbing everything he needed for the heist. "See you latter Lupin!" he said as he scratched the cat's head.
More like 'see you soon'. Lupin thought with a smirk as he watched Kaito's retreating back. When he was sure Kaito was out of the house, Lupin jumped off of the table and pulled out one of Kaito's spare KID costumes. Time to give this antidote a try. Lupin thought as he ran to his bed and pulled out the catnip. Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves, he ripped open the bag with his claws and breathed in the powerful scent of catnip.
At first, Lupin felt nothing happening but then a wave of pain hit him as his heart began to pound in his chest. He could feel his limbs began to painfully change and the floor got farther away. His senses blacked out for a couple minutes and when he opened his eyes, he was once again Shinichi Kudo but with a few changes. Grabbing some under clothes that he had gotten back from his house awhile ago, he put them on then looked himself over in the mirror.
His blue eyes still had a cat like quality to them and... he still had his tail and ears.
"So that's what she meant when she said a hat and long coat." Shinichi said outloud. He smiled a KID like grin, noting that his canines were a bit long as well, happy to hear his voice again. "Well, isn't Inspector Nakamori in for a surprise tonight?" Shinichi said as he glanced at the clock, speedily getting ready for the heist. He also grabbed some white dye capsules to change his hair, ears, and tail to white.
"Time to give everyone the shock of their lives." With that, Neko KID swept out of the room and headed for the heist.
At the museum that the heist was taking place at.
"Everyone get ready!" Shouted Inspector Nakamori as the clock read 5 minutes until 10 pm when KID would come.
Hakuba was leaning against a wall in the back counting down the time on his watch.
A cop near the case, smirked a little as the clock hit one minute.
Blue eyes gleamed in the darkness above as the clock began to tick down the last 30 seconds.

And the room filled with smoke.
As it cleared, the cops and Inspector Nakamori automatically looked towards the case, where as they had predicted was a smirking Kaitou KID. He cleared his throat and spread out his arms.
"Ladies..." He began.
"And gentlemen!" finished a voice behind them. Everyone spun around to see a second identical Kaitou KID standing against the doorway.
"Wait a second," Hakuba said. "This KID is a bit different."
That's when everyone noticed that this KID had white hair and a... tail.
"What the !#$% is this KID?" screamed Nakamori whipping around to face the first KID.
KID looked just as shocked as they did. But then the other KID winked at him and he recognized those cat like eyes. That's when he decided to go along with it.
"Why, I don't believe they recognize you my dear partner." KID said, his smirk growing wider. "Care to introduce yourself?" The other KID smirked, showing off his canines.
With a bow, the Neko KID took off his hat and swept into a bow, revealing white cat ears.
"I am none other than Kaitou Cat." he said with a small purr to his voice. He straightened back up and replaced the hat on his head. "I am sad that you didn't recognize me Inspector Nakamori." he said with the signature KID grin.
With that insult, Inspector Nakamori recovered.
"I don't care what you guys think, just get them both!" he yelled turning an incredible shade of red.
Both KID's laughed as the other took a running start than flipped over their heads with cat like agility as the other KID pulled the necklace from the case. Then, with each KID standing on either side of the case, they took a bow and said together...
"Thank you for joining today's show and Good Night." Then they threw down smoke bombs, perfectly mirroring one another. When the smoke cleared both had vanished and identical white hang gliders could be seen vanishing in opposite directions.
"After them!" shouted Nakamori and the other officers scrambled to obey.
One officer smirked as he glanced up to one of the vents where he could spot a pair of blue eyes winking at him before vanishing into the darkness above.
Later on, both met up on the roof in full KID regalia, smiling at one another. Kaito was the first to speak.
"So, how did you end up as a cat, Shinichi Kudo." Kaito said startling the other a bit at the knowledge of his name but quickly recovered.
"Poison." replied Shinichi taking the hat and monocle off. Kaito followed suit as they both sat down on the edge of the roof looking down upon the lit up city. "Two men in black attacked me while I was trying to get some info on a black mailing that was right before my eyes. They discovered me than knocking me down, forced the poison down my throat. Apparently it is an untested poison that is supposed to be untraceable in the body. I've been stuck as a cat ever since then." He said his ears drooping a little at the memory of that day. Kaito had looked startled at the "men in black" part but had remained silent for most of the telling.
"How long are you going to stay a furry?" he asked. Shinichi's ears twitched a little at the furry part but he answered none the less.
"I was told 24 hours." He said with a sigh. "I guess after that it's back to a kitty. I hope you will allow me to stay at your house still. It is kind of hard to live in a huge mansion by yourself as a cat." He said looking at Kaito for an answer.
Kaito watched him for a second before cracking a smile.
"Are you kidding? That'd be awesome!" Shinichi was a bit surprised at the answer and his enthusiasm but smiled gratefully.
"Thanks, I really appreciate it." he said. "Well, since I still have a bit like this, what do you want to do?" He asked Kaito smirking a bit. Kaito smirked back.
"Fly." He said standing up then falling backwards off of the building then opening his hang-glider and soaring off into the sky. Shinichi watched for a moment, smirking, before following suit.
The two white hang-gliders, like white doves, danced throughout the night sky chasing one another.
Shinichi was so happy to be in his own body, albeit with some changes but his nonetheless, and to be flying in the cool night air that his eyes were filled with such pure joy and a broad smile across his face. Kaito, who was flying next to him, glanced over at his new partner and saw Shinichi's smiling face with those sparkling cerulean blue eyes ulimnated by the moon. Kaito was stunned at this sight and began to feel something strange in his heart, a fluttery aching yet warm feeling.
Wha-what is this? He thought as he continued to stare at Shinichi, Poker Face all but gone. Why would I be feeling such a thing? Has Kaitou KID truly met his match?
"Kaito? Kaito?" said Shinichi snapping Kaito back into reality. "What's wrong?" Shinichi said with a worried look on his face as he glided beside Kaito. Kaito shook his head of the thoughts and pulled out a smile.
"Oh. Uh... Nothing." He said smiling then noticed a park below them. "Let's land down there."
Shinichi looked at him, not convinced but nodded and banked towards the park.
Both fliers landed gracefully onto the grass in a clearing in the darkened park. Kaito turned to Shinichi smiling.
"Well, since we can't be in these all day, I have some extra clothes." Kaito said, his smile growing wider. Why am I suddenly so excited? He thought, but quickly dismissed it. Shinichi noticed a bit too late what Kaito meant and tried to escape, but unfortunately, even his cat reflexes were to slow to get away from Kaito's magicians hands. In a puff of smoke both boys were soon in casual clothes with Shinichi having a hat and long jacket to cover up his tail and ears. Shinichi's hair was also back to its dark black color. Kaito noticed that Shinichi was blushing a little after Kaito had finished.
Why is he blushing? He thought. Could it really be 'that'? Kaito contemplated. Nah, it couldn't be.
On the other hand, Shinichi was also wondering why he was blushing and hoping that Kaito hadn't noticed. Why on Earth am I blushing? There is no need for me to be. It's just Kaito and we're both guys. Shinichi was very confused but hid it well.
"Ok!" Kaito chirped happily. "Since you have some time as Shinichi, let's go wander around town."
"Barou." Shinichi said. "It last 24 hours so I have until tomorrow night. We should just head back to your house and get some rest." He said a bit harshly to cover up his embarrasment. Why am I so embarrased?
Kaito almost let his Poker Face slip when Shinichi said that but quickly covered it up. Why am I so disappointed? He wondered.
"OK." He replied to Shinichi.
Both teens walked in silence back to Kaito's house, taking glances at each other when they thought the latter wasn't looking, thinking and wondering what these feelings that they had were.
