Note: Okay, this story was up and on for awhile, but then I choose to delete it for some reason. And I gave some thought to that decision, and I choose to re-add it to the site. So, that's why. Anyway, thank you for reading. Again, IF YOU HATE OC'S THEN PLEASE DON'T READ OR COMMENT! It can get annoying when people keep doing that... Anyway, enjoy!
Kaito was walking down the street, his hands behind his head and piece of bread in his mouth. He was on his way to school like he did most mornings. Just this time, he was thinking. Thinking about how he was going to find Toyoshima's Family Heirloom. Jii had explained that no one knew where it was, only person who did was Kaito's father. But Jii suspects that Kaito's father might have said something the night he stole the Heirloom. But after Kaito talked with Tsukiko, it seems she doesn't really remember anything from that night. She simply remembers her parents getting angry at her for not saying anything about the incident. She also added that she wouldn't even tell him anything else dealing with her past, saying as how she hated him.
Kaito sighed and kicked a pebble into the street. This is going to be difficult… he thought. As soon as he looked up from the ground, he was surprised. Walking in front of him was none other then the girl on his mind, Tsukiko. She had a book in hand and her glasses were at the tip of her nose. The silver streak in her hair was brighter then usual and almost seemed blinding to look at.
Kaito smiled devilishly. I guess this is fate speaking, he thought. Kaito hurried and finished the bread he was eating and ran up to begin walking with Tsukiko. But before he could even say a word, she spoke. "What do you want, Kuroba-kun?" she said.
Kaito frowned. "Well," he said, "good morning to you too. Is that anyway to treat a fellow classman?"
Tsukiko was silent for a moment. "It is if you hate the person with all your heart," she said. "Now, what do you want?" Tsukiko finished with a small glare and no expression.
Kaito felt a small shiver down his spine. This might be harder then I originally suspected, he thought. But Kaito shrugged it off and smiled. "Well," he said, "I saw you walking by yourself and decided to walk with you."
Tsukiko slammed shut her book and stopped walking. She looked at Kaito with a serious look. "Look here, Kuroba-kun," she said, taking a step closer to him, "I'm not your friend. I thank you for your concern, but it's un-welcomed." Tsukiko then turned on her hill and began walking away.
Kaito bit his lip and pouted. "Well," he muttered, "that went well…" He stuck his hands in his pockets and ran to catch up to Tsukiko.
Soon the two stopped when they got to the crosswalk. They said nothing to each other. Tsukiko not wanting to talk to Kaito and Kaito had nothing more to say.
"Ah," a small voice said from behind, "it's Toyoshima-nii-chan…"
Kaito and Tsukiko turned around to see who had said that. Kaito's eyes widened a bit and Tsukiko smiled. Standing before them was the Detective Boys; Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta. Even Conan and Ai Haibara was with them.
Well, Kaito thought, didn't expect to see the mini detective here… Or these children…
"Good morning everyone," Tsukiko said, in a gentle voice and with the gentlest of smiles. "I didn't expect to see you this morning."
"Don't you usually take a different route to school?" Ayumi asked.
"And you don't have your bike," Mitsuhiko said. "Something happen?"
Kaito looked at Tsukiko and saw her still smiling. Truthfully, he was surprised by the smile since he's never seen her show such a smile. For some reason just seeing that smile made his heart speedup for a moment.
"Well," Tsukiko said, bending down to the children's height, "it seems someone stole my bike and the route I usually take is under construction until Christmas."
Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta all frowned. They felt sorry for Tsukiko.
"But isn't this route a lot longer then the one you usually take?" Conan said, crossing his arms. "And you usually get up early to use the other route."
Ayumi whined and looked at Tsukiko. "He's right!" she said.
"Doesn't that mean you got up two hours earlier?" Genta and Mitsuhiko shouted.
Tsukiko held up her hands in defeat. "Yeah," she said, "but it's normal…"
The three children shook their heads. They then noticed the boy standing next to Tsukiko. Kaito gave a smile and that was it, before the kids said, "Are you Toyoshima-nii-chan's boyfriend?"
Conan was trying to holdback his laughter, which he did pretty good with. Tsukiko on the other hand, was building with rage. "No," she said, trying to smile, "just a fellow classman that I ran into."
Kaito smiled. "Aw," he said, "you don't have to be so modest. Why not just tell them we're together?" Kaito then laughed.
Tsukiko clinched her fist, but soon released it. She took her hand and pinched Kaito's cheek. She then pulled it. "You want to say that again?" she said, still smiling.
"Alright, I get it!" Kaito shouted.
The children chuckled. After another minute, the Detective Boys left Kaito and Tsukiko and went on there way. The two teens continued to walk down the street, on there way to the school.
"You sure surprised me," Kaito said, putting his hands behind his head.
Tsukiko glanced at Kaito. "And how did I do that?" she asked, with a bit of sarcasm in her voice.
Kaito grinned and looked at Tsukiko. "I've never seen you smile so honestly before!" he said.
Tsukiko looked away, feeling a slight heat in her cheeks. She was embarrassed that he had to see her smile like that. "It's not like I haven't done it before…" Tsukiko said, crossing her arms.
"Well," Kaito said, giving another grin, "it's better then the always serious face you show."
Tsukiko glanced at Kaito and saw him smiling. Tsukiko felt her heart skip a small beat, but she didn't care. She took her book and hit Kaito along side the head. "Flattering will get you nowhere…" she said as she continued to walk away from Kaito.
"I wasn't trying anything!" Kaito shouted. He saw Tsukiko roll her eyes and not any attention to him shouting more. Instead she just continued to walk.
