"Hattori-san was that phone call so important that you had to run out of class?" The Teacher asked almost glaring at the young detective. "Actually it was. A close friend of mine 'nd an asset to da police is very sick 'nd needs me ta rush him to da hospital. If 'm goin' ta do 'at, then I've got ta go." He said getting his things and rushed out of the classroom once again leaving behind a very confused classroom full of students and a distraught Teacher in his wake.

He ran down the hall and to his motorcycle, sitting down and turning on said bike he sped down to his house. If he was going to do this, he would need some supplies first. Kuroba was a very difficult person sometimes and that applied to right now, the magician seems to have gotten sick but doesn't know what it was that was causing his illness.

After twenty minutes he arrived at his home. Turning off his motorcycle he jogged up the stairs and burst through the front door. "Kaa-san! I need ta stuff! Kuroba's gotten himself in ta some strange illness!" He yelled once inside "Heiji, I'll get it ready for ya, but slow down. You're gonna go on fire if ya don't." his mother warned him before disappearing to get the things that her son would need. He sat down and started to breathe deeply to try and calm down, didn't need to catch fire at the moment.

Soon his mother returned and with her were several bottles of potions and healing remedies. "Arigato, oka-san. I could use an airlift to Kaito's school." He said sighing softly, he needed to get there soon or else something bad might happen. His mother nodded, "I'll call your father and tell him about this. He can arrange for you to be airlifted to Beika high." She said soothingly to her son before once again walking off. He managed to nod to her before she left and sat waiting for the green light from his father.

After fifteen minutes of waiting he started to get worried, what if he couldn't get to Kaito in time? What if he failed the young Niji prince? What if, what if- he stopped that kind of thinking. It was getting him nowhere fast, he needed to calm down and think with a cool head. His mother walked back in, a smile on her face. "Your father said it was okay, you should be with Kuroba-kun in at least thirty minutes. Go outside, your ride should be here." She said and Heiji smiled, he knew his mother would come through for him. Even though they fight all the time they still would drop anything to do what was right in the end.

"Thanks so much!" he shouted before running outside with the supplies that he would need. Once outside he noticed a helicopter lowering a rope right by the porch, grabbing the rope he was lifted into the huge machine and it started to fly off towards Beika High. 'Not long now.' He though even though he was still on edge, he had a feeling that this thing that was plaguing Kuroba was also affecting his magik. This would explain why the other had gotten so sick in a matter of minutes.

-Thirty minutes later-

Heiji soon arrived at the school and was lowered onto the roof. After sending thanks to the driver he dashed into the school and went straight to the nurses' room, where Kaito was at. What he didn't expect was the fact that it would seem that two wizards, and detective's at that, standing over the bed that Kaito was on. "What're you two doin'?" He asked sounding annoyed. "Hei-chan... is that you?" he heard the sickly and completely bedridden Niji asked in an almost silent whisper.

"Yeah, 'm still 'ere. Can you sit up?" Heiji found himself asking in concern, he didn't like the way the other sounded right now. Kaito sat up weakly and nodded a little, "Good, now stay like 'at 'nd take this." He instructed the other and went up to the bed. He took out a bottle that was dark green in color and forced it into the magician's hand then said "Drink." To which the trickster did murmuring a soft "Thank you Hei-chan." He sounded meek and defenseless, well almost defenseless a person who happened to be KID was never completely defenseless.

"Heiji, why are you here and what are you giving to Kuroba-san?" Shinichi asked tilting his head slightly. "'M here 'cause Kaito 'ere got sick. He needed my help." Heiji said crossing his arms. "Why were you sick?" Hakuba asked feeling the need to find out what made the other sick so suddenly. "Akako-san seemed to have thrown a curse at me in her anger." Kaito said shrugging weakly and moved his hands towards the darker skinned male. Heiji moved towards the other and sighed when Kaito wrapped his arms around his waist.

"Akako is not careless, she would never-." Hakuba cut himself off and thought about it, yes Akako would do this. Even Lucifer picked the magician's side, which was strange due to the fact that Lucifer almost always choose Akako's side. "I see it is believable that it might have happened like you said." He concluded letting his arms fall to the side. "Thank you for checking up on me, but I'll be staying here for a while. Hei-chan will protect me in your absence, so don't worry about it. Tell Akako-san to calm down or I might die the next time she does something like this." Kaito said closing his eyes slightly and tried to pull the Osakan detective towards him and onto the bed.

"Whoa! Hold on Kaito, I know." Heiji said before climbing onto the bed so that the magician would stop pulling on his shirt. Heiji sighed softly and looked at the other two calmly asking, "Why are you really here?" He wanted to make sure that the Niji would be okay here, if he needed to stay for a longer period of time or transfer to the school to make sure he was fine. Heiji couldn't be too careful what with a school full of witches and wizards, he might have to.

"We are here because Hakuba-kun is Kuroba-san's friend." Shinichi said shrugging. Kaito was still snuggling against the Osakan detective before he turned his head towards the other magic users. "That the only reason~?" Kaito said teasingly. He loved to do that to people, "I must admit… I am curious as to what you meant by this magick thing." Hakuba said blushing slightly and looked over to the cuddling thief. "Hmm… I could tell you, but then my secret would be known. Oh well, might have to tell since you both look confused. It's quite a fitting look for my dear and sweet detectives!" he said smiling and chuckled as he looked over to the detective he was currently sprawled out on.

"Magick is simply just a thing that Kuroba can produce due to the fact that he is a Niji. The flame that is at the end of their tail is a constant remainder of that, the pure power of it is always burning and will never go out. It's a symbol of the mystery and magical potential that Niji are capable of." Heiji said smiling almost as if it were obvious. Which it was to him and Kaito but not to the other two in the room, Kaito was just smiling widely and cuddled even closer to the dark skinned Osakan detective producing a soft cooing noise as well. "Nicely said Hei-chan!" he said still smiling and laid his head on the others chest still facing the other detectives.
