Hmm... extra chapter? This wasn't really planned since it was more to get past the writer's block from the last chapter so it is a little more out there but it also fits nicely between the last chapter and the next so consider it a gift for wonderful readers and reviewers who make me want to do this.

~Heist Notice?~

He did not really do this. Shinichi read and reread the note left at his doorstep. After reading it a third time Shinichi proceeded to bang his head against the door in an attempt to wake up from the dream (nightmare) he had to be in. Please don't let this be a real heist notice. It was like this that the kids… well preteens anyway (pretentious youth?) … found him.

"Conan-kun! What's that? Is it another case?"

"A case! We haven't had one in a while, I hope this is good!"

"Maybe it will be something really difficult!"

Shinichi had only just enough time to hide the note in his pocket before Ayumi, the closest, could reach for it. "No! No, it's not a case. It's… umm… its nothing important."

"Conan! You're not hiding cases from us again are you?"

"It's not a case I promise, it's… it's… its personal…." Shinichi couldn't help but flush when he said 'personal' and turned away to try and hide it.

"Is it a love letter?"

He really hated it when she got that close to the truth. "If I say yes will you forget all about it?" Although he already knew the answer to that question, it didn't stop him from hoping.

"Does Conan-kun have a secret admirer?"

Despite his growing troubles, Shinichi still snickered behind his hand when he saw how bright red Mistuhiko got. Something would hopefully never change. On the other hand, it'd be nice if Ayumi stopped asking those questions so much. "No, not a secret admirer."

"Then is Conan-kun hiding a girlfriend from us?"

Shinichi managed to hear the mumbled 'boyfriend' from Mistuhiko's mouth before he decided it was time to run and hide. "Uh I have to go, I'll talk to you later bye!" Before anyone could respond Shinichi flew through his front door and slammed it behind him, locking it before he sank down against the door. Kaito was so dead for this.

Later that night, a very happy (horny) KID entered Shinichi's room through his window while the only occupant lay back in bed reading. KID was determined to make good on his promise from earlier.

"You are getting nothing tonight."

KID stopped in his tracks and proceeded to pout. "But Shin-chan! I sent a notice!" The heated glare directed at him led him to believe that was a very bad idea.

"Leaving a heist notice type riddle on my doorstep detailing just what you plan to do to me tonight does not mean you will get what you want and in fact will make it very VERY unlikely. The kids almost saw it!"

He should have known the next words out of him mouth would be him putting his foot in his mouth but that didn't stop him (when did it ever?). "I thought you liked the risk of getting caught Shin-chan~!"

It was probably fortunate that the book Shinichi was reading was not one of his favorites because after speeding into the void where KID's head was moments ago, it imbedded itself in the bedroom wall. Words were not needed to convey Shinichi's thoughts at that moment.

"… At least you got to watch Mitsuhiko-kun squirm?"

A fact that made the incident only a tiny bit better.

"… I'm sorry?"

Shinichi highly doubted that.

"… I brought toys?"

How would that make things any bet— oh… well… maybe he could be forgiven…

:.

Although Shinichi had forgiven him that night (with very good reason), it only lasted until the next time Ayumi pulled him aside for a talk. After that, Shinichi decided he needed a few more different 'toys' for the next heist. Soccer balls would not be enough.

There isn't much else to say other than, I only have one more chapter I'm working on. I would like a few more simply because I was hoping to cover most years up to age 18 but I only have the last chapter planned after the next one so... any ideas would be helpful.

Also, please don't make me beg for reviews? Please?
