Night had fallen upon Tokyo City. The streets were mostly silent, except for the small footsteps of people and the sirens going down the street.

Kaitou Kid had struck again, this time stealing a rare gem called the Angel's Anklet. It was a prized peace that had just arrived in Tokyo a few days ago. And Kid had already set his eyes on the prize.

Tsukiko knew this ahead of time, she knew that such a prize would be targeted by Kid himself. But what she didn't know, was how he was going to get it. Tsukiko had the most reliable traps, but each failed to apprehend Kid in his heist.

As Kaitou Kid was running down the halls, wondering what trick Tsukiko had planned for him next he wasn't thinking about what was waiting for him at the end of the hall. What was waiting for him at the end of the hall, was much of a surprise.

Kid was blocked by the police, from the front and from those that were chasing behind him. "There's no place to run, Kid," Tsukiko said, stepping forward from the group of police in front of Kid. "We have you cornered. I made sure of it this time."

Kid stood up straight, smiling in his evil ways. "Oh, Tsukiko-chan," Kid sighed. "You have so much to learn…"

Kid held up his hand and smiled. But Tsukiko also smiled. Who knew what she had up her sleeve or what Kid had up his.

"I know this trick, Kid," Tsukiko said, taking a step forward. "You've used it many times, it won't work this time."

"Oh?" Kid said, still giving a sly grin.

"There are no windows and you have no way of using your glider," Tsukiko said, stopping in front of Kid. "Just give up."

Kid pondered for a moment. "Hmm…" he said. "How about…" He opened his fists and smiled, white teeth showing. "…never…"

A small round ball his the ground and cracked open. The room was blinded by light and smoke. Tsukiko took her arm and covered her eyes. Once the light was gone, she looked around the room, coughing. Kid was gone, but he didn't use the window or run past the police.

Tsukiko looked up and saw the airshaft was open. Tsukiko gritted her teeth. "No running from me…" she muttered. Tsukiko turned around and began running down the hall, past the guards. Her firsts grew tight and her feet hit the floor rough. She couldn't let get away this time.

The thing Tsukiko didn't know, was that Kid was sitting in the vents. He wasn't planning on moving, yet anyway.

Kid sighed, letting his poker face slip for a moment. She's getting smarter… he thought. What does she do after homework? Study on how to catch me? Kid's expression then went blank, he had a feeling that he just discovered how Tsukiko spends her free time at home. Even Inspector Nakamori isn't this obsessed with catching me…

Kid heard the shouting of the police and knew they were getting closer to figuring out where he was. Kid sighed and decided he should keep moving until he reached the exit. Kid crawled, on his knees and hands, through the airshafts. But instead of paying attention to which way the airshafts were going, he was thinking of other things. Now that I think about it… he thought. I don't see Tsukiko-chan hanging out with much people at school… Then again, she does work for the student council and stays late after school most days… It doesn't seem like she has time to be with friends and such. She is balancing detective work with school and also trying to catch me. Kid chuckled. Although, catching me is number one on the list!

Kid couldn't seem to stop laughing, just imagining that those things were all that concerned Tsukiko was sad. But it was so funny.

Kid was so busy laughing that he didn't even notice the airshaft was starting to give out due to his weight. Sure he's not that heavy, but those things weren't meant to carry people.

Kid soon stopped laughing when he heard a break and felt himself fall into a whole. Kid blinked blankly. "Uh-oh…" he said. The airshaft then gave out and Kid was sent crashing onto the ground, head first.

Kid sat up and coughed. Dust and rubble from the ceiling were all around him and on him. He looked up and saw the giant hole in the ceiling. He then heard shouting from down the hall. The police had figured out where he was.

Kid scrambled to his feet and began running down the hall as fast as he could. Where is help when you need it! he screamed in his head. He couldn't think of what to do next. His glider was torn up by one of Tsukiko's traps and the only way out was using the roof or front door. No fire exits in the place, no elevators. Just stairs and windows.

Kid started to slow down his running. He soon then came to a stop. The windows! That's how he could get out of the place. But, how was he supposed to use a window when he's on the sixth floor of the building. Well, whatever the plan was going to be, he needed to quickly decide. The police were closing in on him with every second he wasted.

"There he is!" an officer said from behind.

Kid quickly turned around and was almost scared out of his shoes. Knowing he had nothing to do, he quickly began running, again.

Time for plan C… USE THE FRONT DOOR!

Kid was peeking out from behind a corner, seeing all the cops that guarded the door. For some reason he saw no sign of Tsukiko. Where did that girl run off to? he thought. But right when he thought that, Inspector Nakamori had walked through the doors with Tsukiko following him.

"But, Inspector, I can help!" she said, quickly following him as he walked down the halls.

Nakamori stopped walking and looked at Tsukiko. "I don't need some kid running around here!" he shouted. "Leave this work to professionals!"

Tsukiko lifted an eyebrow. "'Professionals'?" she shouted. "You haven't caught Kid for years! What expects you to catch him without my help?"

Nakamori rolled his eyes at her comment. "Fine," he said, beginning to walk away, "but don't get in my way!"

Tsukiko silently sighed. She soon turned on her heel and began walking down the empty hallway.

Kid smiled as he watch Tsukiko walk down the hall. He was still hiding in the shadows. The only thing you could see was the gleam in his monocle and his white teeth smile. I just found plan C… he thought. Kid backed up into the shadows and disappeared.

Tsukiko turned a corner and was thinking about many things. But one thing was for sure, she wasn't thinking of catching Kid at the moment. When a circle's diameter is one unit, its circumference is Pi units… she thought. Pi is 3.14159265358979... Ug, what was the rest of it…?

Tsukiko crossed her arms and shook her head. "I shouldn't be thinking of that…" she muttered. "I should be focusing on the matter at hand…" Tsukiko was so wrapped up in her thoughts, she didn't even notice the person behind her.

Tsukiko felt like someone was behind her. But before she could turn around a hand with a white cloth covered her mouth and another hand made her unable to move.

"Not very focused tonight," a voice whispered in her ear.

Tsukiko knew the only person who would do this was Kid. Tsukiko struggled and struggled, but that only made Kid's grip on her tighten. "Let me go you…" Tsukiko wasn't even able to finish her muffled sentence before she started feeling very tired. Tsukiko felt her legs give out and her full weight was in Kid's arms.

"There, there," he whispered, "sweet dreams, Tsukiko-hime…"

Tsukiko's head fell back and her vision was beginning to blur. The last thing Tsukiko saw was Kid's sly smile and then everything went black.

Kid sighed in relief. He looked at the sleeping girl in his arms and couldn't believe that such a girl was so mean. But soon Kid realized what he was thinking and shook it off, forgetting it ever happened.

Kid picked up Tsukiko, one arm under her legs and the other on her back. He then carried her down the hall, wondering how his plan would fold out.

Kid could hear the police running down the halls from outside the broom cupboards door. Kid grinned, he then looked at Tsukiko, she was still sound asleep. Kid's smile got bigger with mischief. "Thanks for the help, Toyoshima-san…" Kid said. He then dropped a small pouch in her lap and left, walking out into the corridor.

Tsukiko was starting to wakeup and the first thing she saw was a broom. She shot open her eyes and sat up quickly. She looked around and gritted her teeth. "How dare he stick me in a broom cupboard!" she shouted.

Tsukiko stood to her feet and was about to walk out. Her hand was on the handle when she heard something hit the floor. Tsukiko looked down, there was enough light to see what had hit the floor and what Tsukiko saw surprised her. Laying there was the Angel's Anklet in all it's glory.

Tsukiko bent down and picked it up, along with the notice Kid had left with it.

Dear Miss Detective,

Who knew the princess could be so lovely when she's sleeping. I thank you for tonight, My Dear. Until next night.

Kaitou Kid.

Tsukiko was fuming. She slammed open the door and stormed down the halls. She already knew everyone was gone, sad thing was no one had found her. Kid had crossed the line this time and the next time he won't be getting away. Well, that's what Tsukiko thinks, but the White Knight always has a way of getting what he wants whether it's a priceless artifact or the heart of a fare maiden. But Kid's intentions are still unknown to this dear detective, that is for now.
