Part 2:
Shinichi yawned as he groggily walked into his bathroom. The dream this time was nice, he smiled. He couldn't really remember what it was about but it still left him a pleasant feeling.
After done with his daily hygiene, he looked at himself in the mirror and smirked, yah, looking good, as always. Mh, time for school, Ran'd be mad if he's not hurry, he scratched the back of his head annoyingly.
"Oh my~. What a good-looking Medium I have~! I'm really lucky! Thank you very much, dear Lady Luck!" a cheerful voice startled him as he quickly turned around, searching for the voice's owner.
Standing at his bathroom door was a strange young man dressed in white suite and white top hat, completed with a monocle on his right eye. Shinichi noticed the Four-leaf Clover strap attached to the monocle.
The strange man was standing there with a confident smirk, too confident, on his face.
'How? I didn't see him in the mirror!' Shinichi thought frantically as he stared at the man dumbly.
"You can call me KID," the man, KID, bowed before continuing, "And I don't have a reflection if you're wondering," he said amusingly.
'He can read my thoughts?'
" Ah, and I can't read your thoughts, Medium-kun."
Control snapped back into place, he glared at KID calmly, "You're a soul, I assume?" 'But souls usually don't talk…'
"How rude! You should introduce yourself first, Medium-kun," KID said, faking disappointment, "And no, I am not a soul," he winked his left eye at Shinichi, "I am something else, much much greater~."
In a blink of eyes, he appeared behind Shinichi, leaning his lips near the poor boy's ear, he whispered lowly, "I am a Reaper, dear Medium-kun."
Shinichi jumped and spin around, one hand flew up to cover the offended ear, "R-reaper? A-as in Death God?" he swore he wasn't stuttering and he wasn't blushing either!
KID smirked before leaning against the mirror hung on the wall. From his new point of view, he could clearly see that KID indeed had no reflection.
"Same thing, really…just a bit different, I guess…" KID tapped his chin thoughtfully, "Well, I'm just a Reaper now and when I have a Medium, I'm called a Death God," he nodded to himself, "That's right~!"
Shinichi, still blushing faintly (AM NOT!), rolled his eyes, "What I want to know…" he glared at the Reaper, "…is why are you here?"
"You know, for an intelligent guy, you're a bit slow, Medium-kun," KID raised an eyebrow at him. He slowly stepped up to Shinichi and leaned in until their noses almost touching. Shinichi felt his face got hotter, his brain screamed at him to get away but he could see both of KID's eyes now and the look in those violet eyes seemed to freeze him there.
"Because I want you to be my Medium, Kudo Shinichi."
XxxxxXxxxxxXxxxxx
"Shinichi, are you feeling alright? You don't look so well…" Ran bit her lower lip concernedly as she walked beside Shinichi.
"Ah, I'm okay Ran, don't worry," he smiled at her. She just sighed quietly, if he didn't want to let her know, she wouldn't press it, she would simply be there for him if anything bad happened. After all, Shinichi was like a family to her.
"Aww, you have such a nice girlfriend~, Medium-kun," KID cooed as he floated beside Shinichi, "I envy you, really!" Shinichi thought he heard some of disappointment in KID's voice but he dismissed it.
"She's not my girlfriend," he grumbled and shot Ran a cheerful smile as she looked at him confusedly.
"She's not? Aww…that's too bad," and this time, he swore he heard relief in the Reaper's voice.
Shinichi grimaced as KID began to babble about how he really should get a girlfriend….the Reaper had been talking non-stop, even when Shinichi didn't reply or even listen…KID was annoying but still, it was kind of nice annoying. Like he had known and used to it…he sighed, why did his life have to be so damn difficult?
xxxxx Flash back xxxxx
"Me? Your Medium? Are you kidding me?" Shinichi glared at the Reaper as he smirk, "And wipe that damn smirk off your face too."
"Of course I'm not kidding! Who do you think I am? I am a Reaper for God's sake!" KID held his arms up dramatically, "You wound me deeply, Medium-kun!"
"But why me?" Shinichi asked desperately, ignoring his dramatic display.
"Huh? Why you indeed?" KID looked thoughtful for a mere second before grinning cheerfully, "Why? Because you're good-looking and I like good-looking people~!"
"That's not a really reasonable, you know…" Shinichi narrowed his eyes.
"Don't get all work up Medium-kun! I don't want you to get grey hair at such young age!" KID threw his arms around Shinichi, completely trapped him in his grip
"Wha-? Let me go!" Shinichi (again…) swore that he was not blushing!
"Because you're a natural Medium. I'm sure you could see the lingering souls from a very young age, ne?" KID murmured into his ear yet again.
Shinichi froze. Indeed, he couldn't recall the time he had started to see those souls. They all had just been there. He remembered getting scared but 'Kai-chan' had always been there for him, apparently, 'Kai-chan' could see them too, so he had got used to seeing the lingering souls.
KID released him shortly after that.
"Maa~. So, do you agree with me?" KID said cheerfully then walked out of the bathroom. Shinichi hurrily followed him, "Oi! Where do you think you are going?"
"I'm exploring this place since I'm gonna stay here~!" KID explained happily then processed to run around Shinichi's room "Ohhh~! Your room's soooo big, can't wait to see the whole house!"
"Oi, oi, I didn't even agree! Are you listening to me?"
"No, I'm not," was a happy reply. Shinichi groaned at that.
KID stopped for a moment, "And I do think you should get changed for school, not that I mind seeing you in your boxers, Medium-kun~," KID purred and smirked as Shinichi's face heat up before leaping back into the bathroom only to run back out to grab his school uniform and back in the bathroom again…
KID watched the scene with great amusement and sighed happily, "What am I going to do with you, Shin-chan…?" he froze. 'Shin-chan'? Where had it come from? He just stood there silently, pondering over the name…
xxxxx End Flashback xxxxx
"Your class' boriiiing, Medium-kun!" KID wailed as he floated above Shinichi.
"You can go away if you don't like it here," Shinichi muttered. He didn't like to be in the class either but that was one of few things he had to endure.
"I can't! What if some other Reapers come and seduce you to be their Medium when I'm gone?" KID said and processed to walk on the ceiling.
Shinichi raised and eyebrow at that, "Seduce me?" he mumbled to KID as his teacher continued her lecture and Ran shot him a concerned look.
"Yeah! You're a natural Medium! The highest level of a Medium you know."
"I see…" Shinichi replied and started to ponder what KID had said.
The rest of the class, Shinichi ignored KID and everything else to think about the whole Reaper and Medium thing. According to KID, a Reaper needed a Medium to increase their strength and when they had a Medium, both Reaper and Medium would be called Death God. A soul would linger where it had die because it still had thing it wished to do. And each lingering soul had its own time. When the time was up and they still lingered there, they would kinda turn into demons.
The Reaper and Medium worked together as a team. The Reaper would deal with the soul-turn-demon while the Medium would help the lingering souls complete their wishes so they could pass on. There were also Watchers, who would observe the Reapers and Mediums to make sure they didn't misuse their strength. That's about sum up how Reapers worked.
Shinichi nodded to himself and looked up to see both Ran's and KID's faces looked at him confusedly.
"Class ended sometimes ago and we'll have PE class next…what were you thinking about, Shinichi? You usually the first one bolts to the changing room…" Ran said, sounding utterly confusedly.
"What were you thinking about, Medium-kun? You seemed to be really deep in thoughts. I tried to call you a few times but you ignored them all," KID said, sounding mocking hurt.
Shinichi rolled his eyes and smiled at Ran, "Nothing, Ran. Just about a puzzle I read last night."
Ran didn't look very convinced but she took his arm and dragged him to their next class.
Shinichi let her drag him while KID still followed him closely.
"PE class? What's that?" KID asked curiously as he and Shinichi now standing in the changing room.
"You're a Reaper and you don't know what a PE class?" Shinichi said amusingly.
KID shrugged his shoulders, "You know, I've only been released from training for two days. What do you think I would do at a school while I was still having a Medium to find?"
Shinichi was in process of taking his shoes out of his locker, looking at KID funnily, "You Reapers have to train, eh?"
"Of course! We got trained to use our strength properly. And learned about the Reapers' history and all that stuff…boriiiiing," KID then turned to look at Shinichi with a gleam in his eyes, "But I always took liberty to make it less boring!...Too bad I can't do anything here…" KID sighed mournfully.
Shinichi made a small amusing sound in the back of his throat like 'glad you can't' before looking at KID expectedly.
"What?" KID looked back confusedly.
"Get out so I can change."
"You know, we're both male. It's not like you have something I don't…Unless…" KID grinned at him madly, "…you are a girl in disguise!"
"No I'm not! And get out!" Shinichi yelled at him, face turned a little red.
"Kidding! Just kidding!" KID grinned good natural before walking through the wall to get out.
"…idiot," Shinichi mumbled and sighed. He should get changed quickly or he'd be late.
xxxxxXxxxxxXxxxxx
"I'm kinda glad that I can only touch you…" KID said fearfully as he walked beside Shinichi.
PE class was the last class so they were walking now. Ran had gone shopping grocery for dinner, so it was just them alone.
"Why?" Shinichi asked curiously, he couldn't believe that he saw the Reaper that fearful.
"Because your soccer looks really painful," KID explained.
Shinichi smirked, "Can't help. I've been playing soccer in elementary till now."
"Yah…" KID sighed a bit before looking at Shinichi hopefully, "So, what are we gonna eat tonight?"
Shinichi looked at him oddly, "You need eating too?" KID nodded at that. Shinichi looked thoughtful, "Well, it'd be instant noodles…"
KID groaned, "You can't cook?" he asked and Shinichi shook his head 'no', "I was hoping for a homemade meal, you know…"
Shinichi just shrugged his shoulders, "Ran would stop by my house to cook dinner if you're lucky."
KID grinned at him, "You don't know? Lady Luck seems to favor me very much~!"
Omake time~!
Later that night:
"Oi KID, come out and eat. Ran cooked enough for both of us." Shinichi called but still KID didn't come.
"If you don't come out, I'll eat all of this!" he called again, still no KID. Shinichi sighed, "Wonder why? Ran usually doesn't come this day…Lady Luck really favors him eh?" he smiled and looked back at the dish of grilled fish.
"Oh well, if he doesn't come out, I'll help myself then. Itadakimasu!"
Somewhere in the house, KID whimpered softly. Lady Luck indeed favored him.
xxxxx TBC xxxxx
Done! Part 2's done! xD, thank you for reading! I'll try to up next part quickly but can't really make sure, 'cause I'm in second year in high school now T^T. Oh God, I really have no talent in studying…
And I'm wondering what should Hattori be…Aoko, Hakuba, Akako, Yukiko, Yuusaku and even the BO already have their roles so, what do you think he should be? A Watcher, Reaper or Medium? If he's a Reaper or Medium, who'll be his partner? Can't be Kazuha, 'cuz she is a human, can't let Ran alone with her human role :3.
Next part will be about Shinichi's first case as a medium and if I'm a little more diligent, you'll have a part with KID and Akako talking and something (horrible?) about the Reapers will be unfolded :"D.
