Entry 20

I stumble through the classroom door the next day.

"Ohaiyou gozaimasu mina-san," I call out listlessly as I flop down onto my seat and promptly slump onto my desk.

"Busy night Kuroba?"

"Mph."

"There was a KID heist last night."

"Hakkkkkuuuubbbbbaaaa," I drawl slowly out, "for the last time. I. A.M. N.O.T. K.I.D. Do I really need to spell it out to you?"

"You are KID."

"I'm warning you…"

"Just admit it."

"OK. You asked for it."

*POOF*

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Two indignant shrieks fill the classroom.

"Kuroba…"

"Yes?" I look up innocently, "oh, how'd you get yourself handcuffed Hakuba? And with Akako-chan too no less?"

"Yes. I wonder. Kindly explain to us Kuroba." She smiled showing slightly pointed teeth.

I grin cheekily back, "I thought you to looked good together."

Murmurs of general assent erupted throughout the class. Hakuba turned red, then inspected the hand cuff. After a while he gave up and turned to Akako who stood coolly by. "Do something!" he hissed at her.

"Well, I don't particularly mind but if you insist."

Purple handcuffs suddenly appeared on Aoko and my wrists out of nowhere.

"Hey!" We yell surprised, trying to pull away from each other and failing.

"How did you do that?" Asked Hakuba, one eyebrow raised.

"You're the detective, so you figure it out."

"But Kuroba's sleight of hand is obvious while yours…I don't know…logically it's impossible!"

"OI! AND AKAKO! GET US OUT OF THIS!" I roared at her, while trying desperately to pry of the cuffs with various objects. Damn her and her magic.

"Koizumi-san…." Mumbled Aoko red-faced.

"Yes?" she replied in (near) perfect imitation of me, "what's wrong?"

"Why are we," Aoko gestured towards me then back to herself, "handcuffed together?"

"Well I thought YOU two looked GOOD TOGETHER."

Again whispers of assent from the class. I glared at her, then at the rest of the class who backed away warily.

"But Koizumi-san…why not Hakuba ? Why this jerk?"

"Well seeing as I'm already tied up with him and he wanted revenge…"

"Oh isn't it obvious? Aoko-" cut in Keiko excitedly , she dashed over to her and whispered in her ear the rest of the sentence. Aoko turned even redder if possible.

I stood there fuming. No one gets away with tricking me. No one. I thought stubbornly.

A sudden idea popped into my head. "Akako-chan," I say in my best imitation of Hakuba's gentleman voice, "look, I'll make a deal with you. Take these handcuffs of me and Aoko and I'll take of yours. Then we can all gang up on Hakuba.."

"KAITOOO…"

"Oh, you have a better suggestion Aoko? Or are you defending your boyfriend?" I smirk, even though it pained me to say those words.

"SHUT UP!" She yelled reaching to grab a nearby mop and pulling me along with her. It resulted in us landing in a very suggestive position on the floor.

"Ah," I mumble as I felt my neck and ears go hot, "well…"

"GET OF ME!"

"Certainly. Who would want such a…manly girl anyway?"

Unbeknownst to me almost everyone in the room face palmed at my reaction.

"Kaito you-you-"

"Mina-san! "came a sharp and stern voice. We all turn, that is the rest of the class except me and Aoko did anyway.

"Ohaiyou Gozaimasu sensei!" they chorused as they bowed respectfully.

"Ohaiyou Gozaimasu. Ah Kuroba-kun? Nakamori-kun? What are you two doing?"

"Uh…"

"Hakuba-kun, Akako-kun? What are you two doing?"

"It's all Kuroba's fault sensei," sobbed Akako pathetically(not to mention unrealistically too), all the boys swooned. Hakuba gazed at her in a mixture of amazement and disgust.

"I ag-" he choked. He glared at me accusingly. I smirked back.

"Cut it out boys." said sensei effectively breaking apart our staring contest.

"Hai."

"Hai."

"Good. Now to your seats. Ah and I would like the four of you to sit together at the back so that you don't distract the class with any more…antics." She gave me an especially pointed look. I sighed.

"Hai." We chorused half heartedly again.

We shuffled towards the back and brought our tables together.

"This is so humiliating," mumbled Hakuba furiously, "this is entirely YOUR fault Kuroba."

"Shut up you British snob."

"Bakaito! How dare you insult Hakuba!"

"Well I don't really mind this," cut in Akako tilting her seat back and crossing her arms delicately, "all the more ways I can get to know you better neh?" she continued staring hungrily at me.

"Get away from me witch. Thank god I put you with Hakuba."

"Oh really? Check again."

I looked down. Looked up. Looked down then up again. 'Oh shit' I thought.

"But I think you're right Kuroba-kun. I do look rather flattering with Hakuba-kun don't I?" She gazed down at our cuffed hands critically, "hm…" There was a blinding flash of light that caused many heads to turn. The teacher continued to talk as if nothing happened

"That's better."

The rest of us sweat dropped.

Hakuba recovered first, "Uh Akako-san…could you please disentangle yourself from my arm? I'm extremely uncomfortable at out close proximity."

"Are you now?"

Unfortunately I didn't hear anymore after that, Aoko had somehow managed to acquire a mop and was brandishing it amazingly close to my face.

"Kaito…I would like you to take of these handcuffs, now."

"I can't though."

A pulsing vein appeared.

"Well, then I guess I'll just have to convince you to don't I?"

"Ah Matte Aoko! Matte!"

"HAIYA!"

"YEOW!"

"KYAAA!"

"OOH BUTTERFLY PANTIES!"

"KAITOOOOOOOOO!"

"I think those two are getting along well don't you think Sagaru?"

"Akako-san…since when are we on first name terms? Hm and yes I do believe our plan is working."

"Then what do you say about our relationship?"

My ears twitched in their direction. This is turning interesting.

"Akako-san, I wish for our relationship to be no more than mere ACQUAINTANCES."

"Do you not find me desiring?"

"Not in the slightest."

"You're lying." Thunder crackled ominously in the background.

"You tell her Hakuba." I say encouragingly to the poor guy.

"Thank you Kuroba. Watch out for that next swing."

"LISTEN TO ME!" Screeched Akako, enraged.

"Oh pardon my rudeness."

"WHY YOU.."

"Class, kindly turn your attention back here. So-"

"RUN Hakuba! Faster!"

"NO NEED TO TELL ME THAT!"

~precisely 2 seconds later~

The class dissolved into chaos.

Sensei sighed, "Class dismissed." Was all she said before walking calmly out of the door without looking back.
