Spider smiled. Finally the pain that had kept them from finding Pandora was gone. But Pandora was gone with him as well, but oh well. He turned around to his men and they let the girl go. "Let's go…" Spider said.

The Snake and Spider left with the other man, leaving the girl on the roof,. But before Spider exited he gave her one last message. "If you say anything of this, he won't be the only one." He then left.

Tsukiko was on her knees, looking at the last place that Kaitou Kid-or Kaito-stood. Was he really gone? She just couldn't believe it. He was gone just like everyone else; her mother, her father, her uncle, and most of the other people she ever loved.

Tsukiko looked to the cold ground she was sitting on. She could remember everything: how she chased Kaito everyday during school; how she yelled at him for the stupidest of things; and how he could make her smile when she was sad. How could that all just disappear in an instant?

Tsukiko could remember that one time she was with her cousin-Shinichi-and the detective from the west-Hattori Heiji. She remembered one thing that he had said. "We can see the importance of life only because it's short…" He was right. Life is short and we don't know when it will end or how. But it was still difficult when the one person you care about is gone.

She looked up once again, her tears making her vision blurrier then it already was. Her glasses had been smashed to pieces by those men and she was practically blind without them. But not blind enough to stop her from seeing Kaito fall to his death.

Tsukiko bit her lip. "I'm sorry…" she muttered. "I didn't mean what I said…" Tsukiko buried her face in her hands and began to cry even more. "I'm so sorry!"

Tsukiko's crying had drowned out the sound of the forthcoming footsteps, that got closer and closer. But she soon looked up when she heard something collapse to the ground. Then her eyes drew wide and she was filled with mixed emotions. The person who she just say fall from the edge, was kneeling right in front of her. The white thief had a smile on his face and a cut on the left side of his face.

Tsukiko was trembling, wondering if she was seeing things. But soon she found out she wasn't when she found herself wrapped in his arms with his lips pressed against hers. The kiss felt like all the anguish he had kept in for days was finally being released. This kiss wasn't from the thief Tsukiko had been chasing for years, but from Kuroba Kaito, the person she had fallen for.

Tsukiko closed her eyes tightly as the tears still streamed down her face, she raised her hand about to slap him for making her worried. But she stopped,. She couldn't do it. Instead she relaxed herself and fell into the kiss. She wrapped her arms around him, knocking off the white top hat he always wore, and drew him closer.

Kaito opened his eyes, a bit surprised by her reaction. But we smiled and closed his eyes again, deepening the kiss between them. He tightened his arms around her waist and felt her hand run through his hair. He didn't want to let go of her, but soon he had to break for air.

Tsukiko was about to say something to him, but he interrupted.

"I'm sorry," he said. "At first I befriended you to learn about your heirloom and find it to get you off chasing after me." Tsukiko unwrapped her arms from him, a bit shocked to hear him say this. But her gripped her hands in his, surprising her. "But…then I got to know you, Toyoshima-san. I then realized that you weren't the dark and depressing person who hated everyone." Tsukiko glared at him, but soon blushed when he continued. "I found you were a kind, gentle, detective who cared about people."

"Look, Kuroba-kun-"

Kaito covered her mouth, his eyes showing his gentle nature. "Please let me continue."

Tsukiko took his hand off of her mouth and nodded.

"After I got to know you, me feelings for you changed," Kaito continued. "I found myself wanting to be around you more, and I loved hearing you laugh and shout at me. I didn't mean to hurt you like I did… I was hoping that when everything was figured out, I would have been able to tell you… But then you lost your memory and everything just went hectic. I really never meant to hurt you, Tsukiko."

Tsukiko's face went bright red, sure he used her name often but it never sounded like this. "S-So…" Tsukiko muttered. "What are you trying to say, Kuroba-kun?"

Kaito sighed in disappointment. "Are you really that dense?" he said.

Tsukiko slapped him on the back of the head and crossed her arms. "You're the dense one!" she shouted, looking away.

Kaito looked at her, smiling. She was stubborn, but it was fun to tease her like this once again.

"I'm saying," Kaito said, channeling Kaitou Kid for a moment. He slipped his hand under her chin, causing her to blush furiously. He made her look at him and he leaned in. "I love you, Tsukiko."

Tsukiko smiled, and that was simply all she could do.

Kaito leaned in more, but was surprised to have Tsukiko push him back. "Hold on a minute," she said.

Kaito lifted an eyebrow and glared at her. "Do you like ruining the moment?"

Tsukiko crossed her arms. "It's not that I'm trying to, I just have a few questions." Kaito rolled his eyes. "I saw you get shot, so how are you still alive?"

Kaito reached into his breast pocket and pulled out the binoculars he had. There was a dint on them, from where the bullet had hit it. Kaito then pointed to his cheek and smiled. "Answer your questions?"

"Not quite," Tsukiko said, getting into her detective mode. "What about Pandora?"

Kaito sighed and stood to his feet, dusting himself off. "That jewel wasn't Pandora, I checked. It was simply your family heirloom, Princess." Kaito held out his hand and helped the bruised girl to her feet.

"That explains why you dropped it…" Tsukiko said, turning her back to him. She then walked off, beginning to make her way down to the ground.

"Where are you going?" Kaito shouted as he ran after her.

"Home, where else?"

Kaito rolled his eyes and groaned. It seemed that she let his words go right over her head, that is until he felt something grip his hand. He looked down to see Tsukiko hold his hand. He looked up to see her smiling at him.

"We'll keep this our little secret, alright?" she said, winking.

Kaito laughed and decided to go with it.

Soon after the incident that night, Tsukiko made her appearance to everyone who knew she was missing. Yukiko had cried the whole time, hugging Tsukiko to death and wouldn't let go after about six hours. Conan smiled and told Tsukiko he was glad to see her okay, he didn't really want a hug. But Tsukiko tackled him and began crying, making him groan with displeasure. And Heiji simply hugged her to death with Yukiko.

When Tsukiko returned to school, she explained that she had been on a case. But Kaito knew the real reason behind her absence.

Hakuba greeted Tsukiko with open arms and actually did the unthinkable. He kissed Tsukiko in front of everyone in the class, causing Kaito to get jealous and very angry. Kaito actually had to pull Hakuba off of his girlfriend, but Tsukiko didn't seem to mind the incident. She just smiled, glad to see Kaito taking such an action.

School was lively, but Tsukiko and Kaito kept their relationship secret for awhile. No one at school knew, but a few people in Tsukiko's life knew that she was seeing someone. Yukiko freaked and gave a big party, causing Conan to get a bit angry and give Tsukiko a scolding for keeping it a secret.

But everything was back to the way it used to be. Tsukiko stopped chasing Kaitou Kid, knowing his reasons for stealing, and she decided to help Detective Sato and the others with cases.

Everything had finally calmed down, but Kaitou Kid never gave up on finding Spider and Snake. But they never came after Tsukiko again.

Seven Months Later

Tsukiko was walking calmly down the hall, holding the papers for the student council. It had been a calming, and normal day. She hadn't done anything unnecessary for weeks.

Soon Tsukiko was startled by arms wrapping around her waist and tugging her around the corner. The papers she was carrying dropped to the floor in the empty hall.

Tsukiko felt her back against the person who had caught her, but she knew who it was. "Kuroba-kun," she sighed, "I'm busy now."

"Oh, come one, Tsukiko," Kaito whispered in her ear. "Can't I have some fun?"

"Like I said," Tsukiko said, trying to release his grip around her, "I'm busy. If I don't return to the student council room, they'll come looking. So let me go."

Kaito grinned and pressed his lips to Tsukiko's neck, tightening his grip around the girl. "I'm not going to let go until you say it, Tsukiko-chan…"

Tsukiko's face went red as she felt him move up her neck. Sad thing was, she was enjoying it. "N-No…" she muttered as she struggled. Her face was going red and she knew Kaito was enjoying her torture. "Let me go…"

"Not until you say it, Tsukiko-chan…" Kaito said.

Tsukiko's blush deepened when she felt his tongue go against her skin. She couldn't take it. She knew he was teasing her.

"You just have to say it once…" Kaito whispered in her ear. He bit her ear gently, causing a small moan slip her throat. He really did enjoy doing this to her, just to see her frustrated.

"K-Kaito…" she muttered. "Let me go…"

Kaito pulled away and looked aw his girlfriend. "See?" he said, grinning. "It wasn't all that bad."

Tsukiko turned around, still in his arms. "You really enjoy torturing me, don't you?" she said, giving her angry expression.

"Completely." Kaito leaned in and kissed his girlfriend. Tsukiko responded and wrapped her arms around him. But soon the two broke when they heard someone from the student council shouting for Tsukiko.

Tsukiko pushed herself away and looked away. "I told you!" she said.

Kaito grinned. "But it was wroth it!"

Tsukiko rolled her eyes and ran out from the hall, returning to the spot where her papers were scattered on the floor. Kaito grinned and began making his way back toward the classroom, pleased with himself.

"Oh, there you are, Toyoshima-san," the girl from the student council said.

Tsukiko stood to her feet and held all the papers in her hands. "Sorry, I ran into a problem…"

The girl pointed to Tsukiko, making the detective raise an eyebrow. "Uh, Toyoshima-san," she said, "where are your glasses?"

"Eh?" Tsukiko raised her hand to her face and didn't feel her glasses on her face. She sighed and felt the anger building up. "KAITO!" she shouted.

Everyone in the school had heard her shout, but Kaito simply smiled and spun the glasses in his hand. He gave a chuckle. "This was too easy." He knew Tsukiko was going to come after him to get her glasses. But when she did, he had something awaiting for her.

Hope you all liked the ending. I had to make it romantic like this. If you disliked, then I apologize. But if you did like, good! Anyway, thank you all for the reviews and reading the story! Glad most people liked it, for those of you who didn't then…well…you shouldn't have read it in the first place.

Thanks again.
