Chapter 5: Taking to the Skies:
Conan looked to the skies knowing what he was doing wasn't only stupid, but not really who he was. Dressed as Kid standing on the side of a building waiting for Kuroba to radio him. God what was he doing helping out a thief.
Maybe it was the hope that this time wasn't going to be what had to be. Ran could live. Haibara, Mitsuhiko, Genta. They could all live. What could happen in the past with the Phantom taking to the air again?
Maybe things would be different. Maybe they would change. Kuroba would have been a good ally to have in the bringing down of the Organization. Haibara wouldn't have died if Kuroba had been there all those nights ago.
Looking back down at the history museum. His hopes rested on the fact everything would change if he helped Kuroba.
Looking at one of the cars. Hakuba a girl who looked like Ran but much older. Conan felt his heart freeze. And a person who looked like him. Oh that was Aoko. What did fate have against the two of them? Kaito and him looked like twins, Aoko and Ran looked like twins.
And both he and Kuroba had never known what it would be like to hold them close as the most important person. Conan heard the police radio kick on as he heard Hakuba-chan say she was here. Poor Kuroba in love with the inspector.
"Kudou, you read me?" Kuroba's voice came over the radio in Conan's ear.
"Yes, I read you. Time for the show to begin then?" Conan asked.
"Yeah, Showtime." Kuroba said
….
Kaito looked over his pair of friends. Then looked over Aoko again. God time had changed her so much. So many frown lines. He wondered how many of those lines were caused by him.
It seemed time had changed a lot of things. Looking at Hakuba hugging Aoko. God he wished he wouldn't do that in front of him.
It made him feel sick. The police pointed up as a white hand glider came over them. Kaito smiled Tantei-kun seemed to have learned a lot more then paragliding in his time. Kaito looked back at Aoko then went upstairs to meet Conan and change back into their normal identities.
Kaito met Conan in a large room with an open window.
"Here is your costume back. I am never doing this again." Conan said pushing the costume into Kaito's arms.
"Well you won't have to. Unless this doesn't work then you know you have a career besides Detective work." Kaito said.
Conan growled putting back on his teenage getup. Kaito smiled already back in his Kid outfit.
There was stomping from the stairs Kaito smiled and ran down the hallways towards where the jewel was hidden. Conan yelled at him.
Kaito kept running. Looking to see Conan was already running after him joined by Hakuba and Aoko. Kaito ran into the room where the jewel was being held.
Picking it up only to get tackled by Hakuba. Well Kaito didn't expect that. The teen usually kept his distance. Conan and Aoko froze. Kaito's hat and monocle went off. Hakuba backed away. Kaito tightened his hold on the gem in his hand.
"Kaito." Aoko said in disbelief.
"Kuroba." Hakuba breathed.
Kaito looked down he stayed on the ground thankful it was only two people who now saw him not that it mattered.
"Kaito! It's not possible, you've been gone ten years and you haven't aged a day." Aoko screamed.
Hakuba tried and failed to keep her calm.
"You can't be Kaito." Aoko yelled.
Kaito smiled sadly releasing an air bomb. That released pressurized air that made the work skirt Aoko was wearing flip up.
"Aoko it is me." Kaito said his voice slightly strained.
"Red, you've gotten so mature Ahoko." Kaito said looking at her.
Aoko got red and looked like she was crying.
"Kuroba, how can you be here?" Hakuba asked.
"Ten years ago I was chasing him after he stole the Briolette of India. There was a flash of light and he was gone." Conan said.
"I traveled through time." Kaito said looking at the Briolette of India.
"You've been kid all this time!" Aoko said.
Kaito nodded and excepted that she might kill him or arrest him stopping this future from being changed.
Conan came over and helped him stand. Hakuba and Aoko looked at him shocked.
"Why are you helping him Edogawa?" Hakuba asked.
Kaito smiled well he might as well have fun.
"Oh Tantei-kun here and me go way back. Right Kudou-kun?" Kaito said.
Conan growled as Kaito took his glasses and danced away to retrieve his hat and monocle.
"What the." Hakuba said looking at Conan. Aoko was staring too.
"English Prick and Ahoko, Shinichi Kudou the Shrunk Detective." Kaito said making confetti appear around Conan who growled again.
"You're the missing Detective." Hakuba said.
Conan brushed the confetti off himself.
"Yes." Conan said after a minute looking angrily at Kaito.
"Well it's been fun, but now I think it's time I fixed this mess don't you?" Kaito said as the Briolette of India started glowing when Kaito stepped into the moonlight.
"Kaito?"Aoko asked.
"See you around Aoko, Tantei-kun, Hakuba. I'll see you real soon." Kaito said putting on his hat and monocle and laughing insanely as he disappeared.
Conan and the others just looked at the space Kaito had been.
"I really hate that idiot." Conan said.
Then a bright light surrounded them all and everything disappeared into a bright white light.
