Tricks for the Mind
A/N: I'm quite surprised I even got reviews...o.o Tama, how am I a fraud? If you mean as a writer, then I guess I am one. Aw well, I'm not actually doing this for the reviews, it's more for the ideas that swarm my head uncontrollably. I just finished watching the anime Kare Kano and I have two words for that ending: IT SUCKED. It didn't even make sense! Funny at first, then got boring a bit, then went to flashbacks, then crappy ending... Okay, back on task. I don't really dedicate my stories to anything, they're just ideas. Take them if you please, expand them, switch them a bit and write a whole new story for it, I don't care. Some things are better left out of my mind. Criticize me if you want, flame my story, do what you please. I'm just using my powers of freedom of writing. Okay, enough of my issues, onto the next oneshot.
Trick 2: Names
Synopsis: ...What kind of name is that?
Kaito was sitting at his desk one day when Hakuba came up to him. Glancing up from his desk with sleepy eyes, he saw that Hakuba had a curious look on his face.
"What do you want?"
"I'm curious, Kuroba-kun, as to what your name means. Would you mind telling me?" Kaito took a second glance before smashing his face against his desk again. That's when Aoko walked up to the two teens, wondering what they were doing.
"Hey, Hakuba-kun! What's wrong with Kaito?" Aoko asked in a pleasant voice. Hakuba just shrugged, poking Kaito as he spoke.
"I was wondering what the name Kuroba Kaito meant. When I asked him, I didn't get an answer. Would you know, by any chance?"
"Well, I don't really know, but the name "Kaito" sounds awfully close to "Kaitou". It makes it seem like Kaito's name is a pun off of Kaitou KID." Aoko just shrugged before sitting at her desk. Once she sat down, Kaito's head shot up. The two looked at him in surprise. After a moment of silence, Kaito said something.
"My name's just a pun off of the word "Kaitou" and the english word "Clover". So basically, my name is a pun off of "Clover Kaitou", or "Clover Phantom Thief". Happy?" Then Kaito's head went back down.
"You know, Kaitou KID has a clover on his monocle. Maybe that's telling us something..." Aoko said before Hakuba got a lightbulb on his head. Literally. Some teacher was trying to fix a broken lightbulb in the hall when he accidentally dropped on Hakuba's head, which caused the lightbulb to magically light up.
"Doesn't that mean that Kuroba-kun is Kaitou KID just a little bit?" Hakuba tried, seeing if he could get Kaito to spill the beans. Aoko just shrugged, not knowing whether to believe or not. Kaito immediately answered back.
"No! My name just sounds very much like a pun off of him." Kaito shot back, hoping they didn't see his poker face crack.
"No wonder you're a fan of his! Your name sounds like him!" And with that, Aoko ran towards her house to do who knows what. That's when Akako came walking down the hall. She wasn't really walking though. More like hurrying towards the classroom. She suddenly bumped into Kaito along the way, causing something to fall out of his pocket. It was round from first glance, Hakuba could tell. While Kaito was rubbing his head from its unexpected injury, Hakuba picked up the thing that had fallen out. It was a monocle. The VERY same monocle that Kaitou KID always wore with his disguise. When Kaito was back to his senses, he could see Hakuba walking away, a smug smile on his face.
"What's up with him?" Kaito muttered to himself before heading towards his class.
"I guess that's what Kaito's name meant..." Hakuba told himself as he took one glance back at the hallway where Kaito had been and walked away.

Later that day...
"Huh? Where's my monocle...?"

A/N: Yes, this one is crappy, but you'll get used to the horribleness of these stories after awhile. I don't know and haven't planned to know how many chapters are in this story. Anyway, taking time away from my busy daily life, I've decided to start a manga of my own. Yes, you may think that due to my lack of story writing that my manga will suck, but that's only because the characters I use in these stories are belonging to another person and have set personalities. Now, the reason why I want to start a manga, or at least an attempt for the characters and storyline, is because I've grown fond of drawing and I'm actually very good at it. Not only that, but I think I'd rather enjoy drawing different characters to test my abilities on whether or not I should start one or not. The very first step is seeing if I have the focus to do it. The step afterwards is learn japanese and visit Japan. I mean, my parents are deciding to let me take two years off of college to go to a different country and study the culture and try to fit in with the people. My place of choice: Of course Japan. If I'm gonna live there for two years, might as well do something similar to japanese culture! Now that I'm done explaining my course in life, I think I should end my author notes now. You don't have to read, review, flame, or even do anything that has to do with this story.
