--*Chapter 5*--

Life continued somewhat normally for Shinichi. Go to school, solve cases, hunt a bit when he was thirsty, talk with Ran, try to give Hattori a challenge in figuring him out, and go to Kid heists when he got the notices. At night he would study or read Holmes. If Ai couldn't sleep, he would talk to her and let her observe him until her eyes closed. Sometimes he would go over to Ran's house and watch her sleeping. Occasionally he traced someone's scent back to their house, and eventually he knew the addresses of each member of the police force.

(=^_^=)

One night, Shinichi was leaving for a 2 A.M. Kid heist. The stealing bit was interesting enough, but the vampire was bored, so he decided to follow Kid home. His keen eyes and nose tracked the thief efficiently through the air from the ground, but something was odd about him. His scent was a mix of the mouthwatering appeal of a human and the unique scent of a vampire. 'Could he be a half-breed, like Renesmee?' Shinichi thought. If Kid was even half-vampire, it would explain how he could be so confident and get off roofs so quickly. The moment the hang glider closed and the thief fell, Shinichi grabbed him and pulled him into a nearby alley, pinning him against the wall of a dead end. He could see the fear in his eyes, and took in another breath of his scent. He was certain now, Kid was part vampire. He felt his contacts dissolving in his eyes, but he didn't care. "I know what you are, Kid," he said.

"You mean besides a kaitou being held against a wall in an alley by a vampire?" Kid asked, his grin back.

"I know that you are half-vampire, and I am not letting you go until you explain it."

The thief squirmed and struggled, but Shinichi held him firm, even against the irresistible power of a kiss. Finally, he got a sigh, and his captive began to speak. "My father was a vampire, my biological mother human. I accidentally killed her at birth, and was raised as a half-vampire. Her death made me choose to eat only human food. My father remarried, and trained me as a magician. He died when I was ten, and when I turned seventeen I took on his job as Kaitou Kid."

"How did he die?"

"He was killed in a magic trick accident. He was meant to escape from a flaming box, but the trapdoor he was going to use to escape wouldn't open."

"You don't think he died by accident."

"No."

"Who do you think killed him?"

"I would guess a criminal syndicate known by a very few people as the Black Organization. I intend to avenge my father and bring them down, even at the cost of my life."

Shinichi was surprised by this answer. "I'm after them for reasons of my own."

"For shrinking you into that runt, right?"

"How did you find out about that?"

"I heard you talking with that old man over the phone; I heard him call you Shinichi. Doesn't take a genius to figure out what your last name was; everyone has heard the name Shinichi Kudo."

"Ah. Well then, Kid, would you care to ally against a common foe?"

"If I say yes, will you let me go?"

"Yes, although I will know if you aren't sincere."

"Then yes, why not?"

No indication of a lie was caught, so Shinichi released his grip and talked to his new acquaintance a bit more about how to bring down the group that had plagued them both. When they agreed on a plan, Shinichi silently followed Kid home.

(=^_^=)

A few months later, Shinichi received another heist note. He figured it out that night, but a few hours before the heist, while Ai was studying him downstairs, a new heartbeat and scent joined the others. He didn't need to turn around. "Hello, Kid," he said.

"Tantei-kun," a voice said from behind him.

"Tonight, in five hours by the civic center?"

"Yes," the thief said, disappearing in a puff of smoke.

"What was that?" Ai asked.

"If we're lucky, the end of the Organization."

Oooh...Well, hope you'll bear with me until I get the next chapter up! Review please? *puppy dog eyes*
