Chapter 2

Toichi's POV

6 years later

"San … Nii… Ichi… Zero. Ready or not here I come," Shouted my best friend, Conan Kudo.

I snickered (quietly) from my hiding place in the tree above his head. I was hoping that he hadn't learned what I had from movies, and that's that no one ever looks up, and that's where the bad guy is always hidden (not that I was a bad guy).

While I watched Conan-kun search fruitlessly below, I though back over our friendship. We were the same age and we've been best friends since Otosan and Shinichi-ojisan put us in a playpen together when we were little, even though we're very different. He was always been very honest and considered highly intelligent for his age, while I have always been considered a trouble maker, but everyone says we get that from our fathers. The biggest thing we had in common is that we both thought that our fathers were the coolest. Conan wanted to grow up to be a detective like Shinichi-ojisan, and I wanted to be a magician like Otosan, even though he wasn't really my Otosan. I knew I was adopted, but I didn't care.

I was pulled from my thoughts, when the branch I was sitting on gave a loud crack. That alerted Conan-kun of my position. He turned and grinned up at me, "Found y…"

The branch cracked again and then gave way.

"TOICHI-KUN!!!"

I closed my eyes and waited for the pain, but it never came.

"Toichi-kun?"

Conan-kun said my name again, but this time it wasn't panicky it was in amazement.

I opened my eyes and found myself floating about a foot from the ground. When my brain finally registered what was happening I fell the remaining foot and landed with a thud.

I rolled over and turned to Conan-kun, "How did I do that?"

For once he didn't have an answer.

Kaito's POV

"And then I'll inflate one of my dummy KIDs here and…"

I was sitting my living room discussing how my next KID heist was supposed to go with Aoko, Ran-chan, and Tantei-kun, when suddenly the front door opened with a bang.

"Otosaaaaan!" yelled my son running in with Conan-kun hot at his heels. Both of their faces were pale and scared.

Ran-chan made the mistake of asking them what was wrong, what we got was an earful of unintelligible babble as both tried to shout what had happened at the same time. Finally Ran-chan and Aoko were able to sit them on the couch and calm them down.

"Alright," said Shinichi as soon as the noise level went down, he then turned to his son, "Start at the beginning. What happened?"

And Conan-kun proceeded to tell us how he and Toichi had been playing hide and seek when Toichi fell out of a tree… and floated???

The four of us stared at the two boys in surprised confusion as they swore up and down that it was true, that my adopted son had hovered in midair for a whole two minutes before falling.

Ran-chan started to scold them for making up stories when Toichi's temper snapped.

"WE'RE TELLING THE TRUTH!!!" He shouted. Just as he said that the couch that he and Conan-kun were sitting on rose up two feet in the air and then slammed back down on the floor.

A stunned silence fell over all of us, until it was broken by a simultaneous "Whoa," from the two boys.

Toichi then turned to me and said in a fearful voice, "Otosan, what's wrong with me?"

That snapped everyone out of their shock, Aoko and Ran-chan both hurried over to comfort him. Shinichi began rattling off possibilities and how it was nothing to worry about. But Toichi's eyes remained locked onto mine, looking to me for an answer.

I went over and gave him a hug. "There is nothing wrong with you," I said firmly.

He smiled up at me, but then he looked down at his shoes, "Ne Otosan, what do you know about my birth parents."

We were all a little surprise at his sudden interest, as he had never really cared before. Sensing our surprise he quickly explained, "Well it's just that I figure what ever is happening may be something I inherited from them."

Aoko and I shared a look. I sighed, "To be honest with you we don't really know much about your birth parents. What we do know is apparently they died around October 31st somewhere in England. Then you were left on the door step of some people we can only guess must be blood relatives of yours. They unfortunately didn't want you, so we took you in. A few days later they moved before we could ask them anything, and we were never able to track them down. That aside we know next to nothing about your past and Kudo has looked but he has never found anything about who your birth parents were."

He looked a bit crest fallen that we didn't know more about his past and his situation.

"Oh," Aoko gasped, "I do recall one of those people mentioning the name Lilly, that might have been your mother's name."

Toichi sighed, "But that doesn't really help with what's going on. What am I supposed to do if things start floating away when I'm around?"

I grinned, "You want to be a magician, don't you, just tell everyone that you're practicing a trick."

He stared up at me in surprise, "I can do that?"

I nodded, "I think it's time I taught you every magician's secret weapon."

Both he and Conan-kun leaned forward with interest as I whispered to them, "It's called a Poker Face."

A/N So now Toichi (Harry) knows he's different. And also who doesn't expect that if Ran and Shinichi were to have a son they'd name him Conan. Toichi and Conan are about the same age so that means in the first chapter while Shinichi Aoko and Kaito were in England Ran was back in Japan with Conan.
