Declaimer: I don´t own Detective Conan!

A/N: It is DONE! Damn, it took me so long to write this... not because I was busy, but because I was lazy. XD This is what happened before the second story I wrote here, when Kaito found Shinichi sleeping in a bus... I promised I would write it, so here it is shinjichan173. Enjoy everyone!

It all started when Kudo Yukiko came home, after another of her legendary fights with her husband. Not that it was unusual, but when it happened, everyone started to pray to the god. Because if Kudo Yukiko came to visit YOU at such time, it only meant one thing: Trouble. Moreover, unluckily for Shinichi, she was the chosen target that time.

"Mom, for the thousands time, I don´t need more clothes!" The raven-haired teen stated, frowning tired and irritated at her own mother, who tried to drag her into one more store. They had been at that for fours, and yet she still was not satisfied.

"Oh, come on, Shin-chan!" The older woman begged her eyes locked on a cute pink dress she was sure would suit her beautiful daughter. After all, Shinichi was her child. "Just this one! I promise!" Shinichi sighed, closed her eyes and… followed her mother.

She knew that wouldn't be the last store, and for the hundred time that day she just wished someone either died, or accused her of murder. Anything to allow her to escape. But she knew Lady Luck hated her, so neither of those would happen… at least not while her mother was around.

"So… I heard you have a boy you like…" Yukiko suddenly stated, catching Shinichi unprepared as the teen blushed, frowned and pouted. Who was the idiot who told her mother she…? No, wait; it was no idiot… It only was a sadistic scientist who loved seeing her in horrible situations. "When are you going to tell him?"

Sighing, Shinichi took the pink dress her mom gave her, starting to search for the cabinet to change. "Never. He doesn't know and I don´t plan on telling him." The cabinet was pretty close, and she rushed there without even looking at her mom´s face.

Few minutes later, Shinichi came out of the changing room dressed in a short, pink dress with white flowers at the bottom. The dress was cute, she had to admit it, but she would never wear that. It was too… embarrassing. Taking the shoes her strangely quiet mother gave her, she didn´t think about it when she put them. They were nice too, with high platform heels…

Wait, her mom was quiet? Why? Looking up, Shinichi tried to ask her what was wrong… But the woman, along with Shinichi´s other clothes AND shoes, was gone. "Mom?" She called, and when she got no answer, something clicked. "Oh no…"

Running out of the fitting room, eyes always searching for her, she quickly approached the cashier. "I am sorry, but did you see a woman with a lot of bags and…" When the cashier smiled, and said her mother already paid for the dress and left… Shinichi deadpanned. She had to be kidding…

Walking quickly out of the store, thankful her phone was still left with her; she quickly called her. "Mom, what the hell? I have no money to come back home and I don´t want to…"

"Now, now… You don´t need to come back now." Yukiko, who was already on the high way rushing home, smirked. Their plan worked wonderfully. "I will pick you up after Kid´s heist, so you should take this opportunity to confess."

But of course her mother knew who she liked… and that was the main problem. There was no way she could confesses to KID! "MOM! I can´t confess to him!" The teen shouted, feeling her face heat up more and more with every second. "He is a criminal and I am a detective… it would never, ever work! Now, come here!"

The woman giggled at her child´s naivety. "Nope, I won't. Until you confess, I will not allow you to return home." Her daughter was mostly dense… but she also was stubborn. So, if Yukiko wanted her to confess her feelings, she needed to be even more stubborn and cruel than Shinichi. "Now, stop being inflexible and tell him. It´s better than suffering in the silence, no?"

"Mom!" She still tried to complain, but her mother ended the call, leaving the depressed detective on her own. Sure, she had a point, but the thought of confessing was too… embarrassing! She couldn´t do it! There had been plenty of people who had confessed to her in the past, and she knew just how embarrassing and cruel it could be… "I don´t want to…" She mumbled, sighing loudly.

However, maybe if she went and lied to her mom… No, that woman would know if she said it or not. After all, in the end Shinichi would act in one of two ways, or too happy, or too sad. And honestly, she preferred to be happy instead of sad. "Stupid. Stupid, Haibara…" Shinichi mumbled, aware she could never hit the chibified scientist. Maybe prank her, but never hit… but she really wanted to punish that idiot.

Really, why the hell had she told her mother? No, really! If she was sick of hearing Shinichi talk and talk and talk and talk and dream… ok, enough. If she was sick of hearing her talk about Kid she could have told her. Shinichi was flexible; she could always start a diary or something like that. Maybe she should have done that from the start… Na, that sounded too girly. But then again, she was a girl…

"This is getting nowhere…" The detective teen mumbled, unaware she was already half way the museum where the Kid heist would be held. She had planned to attend it, but with the intention of catching that stupid thief and punch him for flirting with her the last time... That idiot dared to kiss her cheek! And he hadn´t even realized how embarrassed that made her! Thank god, it was night and she had destroyed his monocle…

Wait, now that she thought about it, she had kicked him pretty hard after that and stole his hat… "Oh god, I hope he won´t seek revenge…" Shinichi mumbled, knowing she was rather defenseless. The short dress restricted her movements, and high heels were not the best way to run. "Maybe I should run away…"

That was a possibility… Or it would be, if she had some money with her. Shinichi could always call Ran or Sonoko, but she had the feeling her mother already warned them not to help her. "Sato-san then?" Hm… the detective was pretty nice and helped Shinichi in many occasions, but to borrow money from her… No, she would never do it unless the circumstances were desperate. But then again, weren´t they?

If Shinichi went to the heist, she would end either confessing or receiving Kid´s revenge. And the latter never was nice, she saw it many times happening to Hakuba. Now that she thought about it, what did the half-English detective done to Kid to be pranked so many times? Because, honestly, nothing could explain the constant pink hair and new girly clothes…

"Wait, if Hakuba is used to girl clothes, maybe he won´t mind changing with me?" Yea, right… He would kill her for even suggesting that. Sighing once again, the teen looked up, only to stare at the huge museum. So she was there… She needed to make a decision: confess or get pranked. Because if he pranked her, she would never confess! NEVER!

"Kudo?" Before she had the change to think, or at least run, someone grabbed her hand and pushed her towards the entrance. "I knew you would make it… thou I expected you to come more prepared to fight Kid…"

"Wait-No!" The girl still tried to resist, but once inside, it was impossible to escape. Turning around to face the other detective, who just happened to be Hakuba, she exploded. "Do you even know what you just did? Do you? Oh god, I am so, but so, screwed…"

Blinking, confused, Hakuba looked at the teen and blushed. Did she realize she looked stunning in that dress? She should wear dressed more often, especially those which showed off her great legs. "If you keep looking at me, I will poke your eyes off."

"Sorry, sorry." Turning around, Hakuba did as he was told. Not that we was afraid of her… ok, because he was afraid of her. Her angry eyes did no lie. If he dared to look at her further, he would really lose his eyes. "So… why are you wearing that?"

Damn, did he really have to ask? Sighing, Shinichi started to look for Kid. She could feel his presence in the room, most probably laughing at her for her outfit, but she couldn't see him anywhere. Usually, she managed to spot him pretty fast. "My mom is back… and she thought this would be a nice way to make me con… Forget it."

Staring at her even more confused than usual, Hakuba started thinking of the words she could have wanted to say. What started with con and could fit well in the sentence? Well, confess sounded good, but then what did her mother want her to confess? That she ate her sweets? No, wait, that was he… Hahaha…

"Get ready!" Nakamori-keibu from the bottom of his lungs, making many people cry from pain. That man was too loud, and no one liked loud people. "He will be here in a minute!" Some people tensed, but not as much as Shinichi. The time of truths was about to arrive…

"By the way" For interrupting her concentration, he received a deadly glare from the female detective, who just wanted to punch him. "What did you do with the hat you stole from Kid? Don´t look at me that way. Inspector may have not noticed, but I clearly saw you hiding it."

The girl blinked, blushed, and turned around. It´s not like she could tell him that she hid it in her secret room and went there from time to time to look at it and hug it like it was some kind of teddy bear… Nope, she couldn't say it. He would think she was a pervert… or something like that. However, considering that Kid stole her pillow once, her having his hat was just the right punishment. She just had other motives to hold on to it…

"I tossed it." She mumbled, hiding her blush as much as she could. "There were to finger prints on it… Oh no…" As she palled all out sudden, Hakuba freaked a little.

"What´s wrong? Are you feeling bad?" She just shook her head, looked at him, then at the wall behind her… and then hit her head twice against it. "Oi, what are you doing?" Stopping her in time, since she planned to hit it again, Hakuba was now officially worried.

"I said it… and he heard it… And now he will have his revenge, and I have no means to protect myself…" She mumbled, eyes suddenly dark, with no hope in them. "And I can´t go home, I have no money to stay out and Ran will never let me sleep in her place… Just shot me, ok?"

For a moment there, Hakuba wondered if everything was all right with her head. But then, he smiled a little bit. "Don´t worry. I don´t think Kid will do a thing, considering you already look miserable enough…" Wow, she sure didn't trust him. But then again, neither did he.

"Yea right… Kid not doing anything…" Shinichi sighed for who knows what time that day, looking up to stare at the blue jewel Kid was planning to steal. And as her eyes stopped on it, the light went out. That could mean only one thing: the heist was starting.

However, Shinichi didn´t stuck around to see it, rushing towards the rooftop. If that bastard wanted to have revenge, he would have to do it in private… At least after that she could think of a way to escape before anyone else saw what happened to her.

Nevertheless, thou she was prepared to wait for a while, the white thief appeared on the roof quickly, less than five minutes since the start of the heist. Blinking confused, Shinichi started to him for a while. It appeared that he got a new hat, as well as a new monocle; but something about his smile didn´t add up… For some reason, it wasn´t cunning enough!

"Nice night, isn´t it, Tantei?" The thief asked, bowing slightly as he marched to the end of the roof. The detective just blinked and a red rose appeared out of nowhere in her hands. "I would love to entertain you more, but I am rather busy right now."

The doors to the roof opened, and the task force barged in to Shinichi´s irritation. The rooftop was hers and Kid´s place! No one, and she repeated no one, was allowed to barge in. However, they just did, ignoring her annoying glare. The thief just smirked and jumped, not even saying goodbye.

And maybe that´s why Shinichi stood on the roof looking at nothing, ignoring the lack of people around her. He just… jumped? Was he really that angry with her he didn´t even want to talk to her? She didn´t want it to end like that… she still wanted to talk to him, hear his voice, look at his strangely violet eyes…

Pouting, sitting down on the cold concrete, she wondered what she did wrong for him to hate her. Sure, she stole his hat and broke his monocle… but it was all his fault. Did he really need to approach his face that close to her? Honestly, that night she almost had a heart attack. And a serious one too. "Stupid, idiot thief…" the detective complained.

"Why do you always call me stupid?" Jumping from her place, her face alarmed and a little bit hopeful since she recognized the voice, the girl just frowned when the one standing at the door was Hakuba and not Kid. "That´s not a nice thing to say, beautifully dressed ojou-san."

Blushing a little bit, something clicked in her head. "You… you…" she mumbled, not sure what to say. "You were Hakuba all this time!" Maybe it wasn´t the right thing to accuse him off, but she just couldn't repress that tone from her voice. And to think she almost told him the truths…

"You finally figured it out, Tantei." Smirking, Kid quickly got rid of the disguise, sending Shinichi´s heart flying. Did he really need to be that gorgeous. "For some reason, you are really strange today, Tantei, even more than before."

Ignoring his remarks, she just send him a deadly glare, while dancing in her mind. So he wasn't mad at her after all… But that didn´t explain why he disappeared so suddenly, nor why the heist had been so brief. "Is something going on?"

"Aside the fact you stole my heart?" Seeing her irritated and beautiful red expression, Kid laughed. "Well, yes… I wanted to say that I will be stop doing heist for a month or so. You usually tend to think I got in trouble when I disappeared, so I decided to warn you."

"Warn me?" Confused, the said dense girl looked at him for a while, while her mind was making a decision. So he would be gone for a while… "Wait, a month? Then how will I be keep myself entertained?" She really did not intend to say the last part. She swore she did not… but it just slipped from her mind somehow, while she depressed herself over the fact he would be gone. "You totally didn´t hear that just now."

Happily surprised, Kid smirked even more. "Will you miss me?" Damn, that guy was joking, he was just joking with her, laughing…! Of course she would miss him! But it´s not like she could say that…. "Don´t worry, I will visit you from time to time. With funny riddles and new tricks of course."

The girl blushed a little bit, unable to stop herself from smiling. She always loved when he visited her at night… it made her feel especial, since he never did that to Sonoko nor any other detective/fan girl she knew. "You better, idiot thief."

She could see it in his eyes that he was about to go. For some reason, for the last months, every time they had to part ways his eyes became sadder, and a little bit serious than usual. And when that happened, she knew was to expect. Pain and disappointment. Pain because she wanted to be more with him, disappointment because she knew it was impossible.

"You will regret it…" Something said in her mind, and the detective took a deep breath. As the thief approached the end of the roof, ready to jump out, she called him. It would only take a second for her to say, and she knew he wouldn´t stick around to see her blush madly after it. So as he took one-step, almost falling out, she yelled. "I love you, Kid!"

And then he fell, the surprise completely destroying his poker face, allowing Shinichi to see the huge blush that started to rise to his face. But the gravity pulled him down, and Shinichi fell on her knees red as a tomato. No, wait, it was even worse. There were so many shades of red on her face, her heart betting so fast she couldn't even speak, her stomach spinning around… "I really love you, stupid thief…"

A/N: So, what did you think? Shinichi just knows the right timing when to confess, no? Muahahahaha. I don´t believe I wrote crewed instead of screwed... I was really tired that day... -.-

Assasin8: A scary Shin-chan is the best... Makes everyone want to run away. XD

Sora Maro: Thanks! I will try to! However, if the chapters become a little crazy, it´s all schools fault... I honestly considering making a one or two-shots where Shinichi is a cat. o.o (P.S. It is almost done... Muahahaha)
