Chapter 16 Snake hunting
"Snake..." Whiskey stared at Snake black and blue face. "...Heh...Heh heh... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That Kuroba boy messed you UP! Look at yourself, you were ugly before but now you're more uglier then the bearded lady on a bad 'hair' day. GET IT! HAHAHAHAHA! I'm a freaking riot!" Whiskey laughed at his joke while the other stared.
'Bearded ladies bad hair day?' Vodka thought. "OH! I get it. HAHA!"
"...Heh..." Gin smirked.
"..." Korn didn't said anything. Chianti stared at Snake face and groaned in disgust.
"Whiskey's right, you've always been an ugly son of a bitch, but now you're a new level of ugly." Chianti taunted.
"Shut the hell UP!" Snake yelled and glared at Chianti.
"Hey, did you lose a tooth?" Whiskey asked while chuckling.
"Danmit, what part of shut up did you not get! I didn't think that the Kuroba brat would be so strong!" Snake held a bag of ice to his face.
"Well you're right about Kuroba's new found strength." Whiskey smiled. "Must be pumpin' the iron to impress someone." He chuckled.
"Are we going to kill him...?" Korn asked.
"Nah, he just a teenager. Alone, Kaito Kuroba can't do anything against us." Whiskey explained. "For all the police knows, the teen just stumbled acrossed a joke of a hitman trying to torture a teenage girl." Snake glared at whiskey.
"I am no joke! I'll find that son of a bitch and-"
"You will do nothing, Snake..." A voice said behind them. They turn around and see Vermouth. "You are to go back to your station and await further orders." The woman commanded coldly. Snake flinched and quickly walked away. Vermouth turned to Whiskey and smiled. "Hello Whiskey."
"Hey there Vermouth, what brings you to the lounge?" Whiskey asked.
"Kir wanted me to bring you this." Vermouth hands his a file. "It about the strawberry you asked about."
"Perfect, I can always count on Kir." He opened the file and looked at the picture "So this is Ichigo Kurosaki... Easy enough to find."
"So this is Kurosaki... Interesting." Gin stared at the photo.
"You can point this guy out in a police line up." Vodka commented. Chianti glared at the photo.
"What the hell is that brats problem!" Chianti glared at the scowling picture of Ichigo. "So you got to deal with this punk."
"No, I'm just gong to talk to him." Whiskey stands up. "If he does anything to me then his family is going to be slaughter." Whiskey looks at the clock. The clock reads 1:00 AM. "However that can wait. I need some freaking sleep." Whiskey cracks his neck and walks out of the lounge.
Later (1:00PM)
Kazuha got up from the train seat and walked though the sliding doors. The high schooler was on a very important mission. Find Heiji Hattori and drag him back to Osaka, with or without his consent. For the second time Heiji snuck out and went to Tokyo without her. The reason why Kazuha was so protective of Heiji was because he kept getting himself hurt. It made her mad that he isn't telling her anything and it's scaring her that her best friend is getting hurt and she can't do anything. "Now to find Heiji..." Kazuha search thoughout Beika to find Heiji. She knew that their was a Kaitou Kid heist last night so she went to the Mouri detective agency. She knocks on the door and sees Conan.
"Are you skipping school Conan-kun?" She asked with a smirk.
"Nope, are school is close because of the explosions, but the good news is that they'll be finished with all of the major repairs. In a week, I'll go back to school!" He explained.
"Wait, explosions?" Kazuha turned a bit pale.
"Yeah! It's really weird. There's no proof that proves someone is using explosives." Conan got Kazuha caught up.
"Dat sounds scary!" Kazuha shivered. "So where can I find him?" She asked.
"Umm... I think he's over in Haido city." Conan told Kazuha.
"Haido city! ARGH! Dis is getting annoying, Good bye Conan-kun!" Kazuha left and made her way to Haido city. After she finds Heiji she'll hang out with Ran and Sonoko then drag him home. She got into a cab and paid the driver to take her to Haido city. "Now ta find that Ahou!" Kazuha walked thoughout the city. As she searched the city, Kazuha couldn't help to feel that she was being watched by someone or something. 'Okay, who ever it watching me better stop-' Kazuha's thoughts were cut off when she felt something slash her back. She looked behind her and saw blood dripping from the claw wound and ruining her new shirt. "W-what..." Kazuha stumbles and falls to the ground.
"Prey!" She looked around herself and saw mirages. The mirages become more clear and sees that she's surrounded by monsters. Instantly she begins to panic.
"Wh-wh-what da hell are those things!" Kazuha looked around herself and sees that she's surrounded by man-crow like monsters.
"EAT! EAT! EAT!" They chanted as they landed near Kazuha. The high school girl couldn't beleive it. She was going to be eaten by monsters and no one was going to help her.
'I don't want to die, I don't want to die!' She thought and began to run from them. Kazuha ran for blocks, ignoring people asking about her wound. She tried to find a hiding spot. Unfortunately a man-crow like monster pick her up and flew her to the roof of a building.
"RIP, TEAR, KILL!" The group of fifteen monsters slowly surrounded her again.
"HELP!" Kazuha screamed. Just then, her prayers were answered went she heard a very familar voice yell out.
"Midori ryū kaminari!" A green shock wave cuts two of them in half. Kazuha looked to see her savior. "Yo, Kazuha! Y'alright!?" Heiji asked. He was holding what looked like a laser sword.
"Do I look alright ya ahou!" Kazuha was turning pale from the blood loss. "H-help me!"
"Hang on!" Heiji charges at the hollows and kills them one by one, until he gets to the leader. He tried to kill it but it was too fast.
"ME TOO FAST, YOU TOO SLOW." The hollow spoke unintelligently. But before the hollow could blink, Heiji was behind the hollow.
"Midoriiro no shōmei tengoku... Sayonara pal." Heiji makes the energy sword disappear. When the blade disappeared, the hollow was cut in half horizontal. "Damn da attack kills my knees." Heiji rubs his knees and walks over to Kazuha. "Y'alright Kazuha?"
"They're dead, right?" Kazuha shivered. "Th-they aren't gonna e-e-eat me right?" She began to cry.
"Don't worry, I'll tell ya everything later. For now we need ta close them wounds." Heiji picked her up and made his way to the warehouse. When they got there they got help from Kisuke and he closed the wounds with Kido with the help of Tessai.
"Phew, you're all good Toyama-san." Kisuke and Tessai backed up.
"Just because you're healed doesn't mean it will hurt. We'll get you a spare shirt you can wear." Kisuke gives her a spare short selvee shirt.
"Thank ya..." Kazuha goes to change and comes back. "What were those... Those things Heiji?" She asked weakly.
"Those monster are called hollows. Ya can say that their evil spirits." That made Kazuha flinch. "Then there are the shinigami, they hunt down these hollows and make sure they don't kill humans." Heiji explained. "I'm a person with a special power call fullbring. We can manipulate an energy called reiatsu that's all around us." He finished.
"Are you the only fullbring?" She asked.
"Nah. There's Kurosaki Ichigo's friends." Kazuha felt a pang of jealousy, since Ichigo is a girls name she thinks that Heiji has been hanging out with some good looking girl. "The nee-chan, Kudo and a guy named Kuroba." Heiji finished.
"Wait! Ran-chan is a fullbringer, and so is Kudo-kun!" Kazuha was shocked. "Why didn't she tell me about this!" She felt hurt.
"It's because I wasn't sure you would beleive me." Kazuha turns to the sound of Ran's voice.
"Ran-chan!" Kazuha ran up and hugged her friend. "It was horrible! I was attacked by them hollow things!" She cried.
"It's okay Kazuha-chan, I was scared too. When I started to see spirits I was scared as well, but I learned that their like us. They were once people and there is no reason to be scared of them." She comfort's her friend.
"So what's your power?" Kazuha asked and stepped back.
"I call it the Tamashī no honō!" Flames wrapped around her arms and legs. Kazuha was shocked by the flames.
"Ah! Ran-chan! You're on fire!" Kazuha panicked.
"Don't worry! These flames don't hurt me." Ran explained. Kazuha watched as Ran showed her new found power to Kazuha, by destroying a small boulder with her bare hands that were wrapped in fire.
"Dat's... Somethin' else." Kazuha said, shocked at the show of force. "So you're fighting these hollows with these shinigami. Who are they?"
"That would be us." Ichigo and Rukia walk down the stairs and into the training room. "My name is Ichigo Kurosaki and this is Rukia Kuchiki. Nice to meet you." Kazuha looked at Ichigo.
"Wait but Ichigo is a-" Kauzha was cut off by Ichigo.
"HUH!? Is there a problem with my name?" Ichigo scowled.
"Umm... No..." Kazuha felt small, really, really small. Normally, Kazuha wouldn't be so scared of someone. But something about Ichigo told every part of her to not mess with this guy. Heiji chuckeled at his best friends reaction.
"Don't worry about it, Kurosaki is a little defensive about his name. As long as you don't call'em strawberry ya should be fine." He whispered the last part.
"What happens if ya do?" Kazuha asked. Heiji shivered.
"Well least just say that ya'll be takin' a dip in da healin' hot spring." Kazuha face lit up when she heard that.
"Wait, healin' hot spring? Da sound great! Kazuha exclaimed, but then she stumbled.
"I'm sorry Tomayo-san, the hot spring heals light wounds and makes scars disappear. It can't do anything about your blood loss, you'll just have to wait." Tessai explained.
"Aww... So we really should go home soon Heiji. Your kaa-san is worried." Kazuha looked down. It was true, Heiji's mother has become very worried about Heiji.
"Alright... I should get go back, but first we need ta get Inoue over here." The meitantei said and pulled out his phone and called Orihime. When the girl arrived, Kazuha glared at Orihime.
"Hello! My name is Orihime Inoue. So you've been hurt by a hollow right?" The well developed girl asked.
"Y-yeah... Ya can do somethin' about it?" The kansai girl asked.
"Yep! Please take your shirt off!" This made Kazuha and Heiji blush greatly.
"WHAT! Not in front him ya AHOU!" Kazuha shouted.
"Oops, I mean come with me then take your shirt off. I have to heal your wound." Orihime explained. With that, Kazuha went with Orihime. A few minutes later they came back.
"Whoa... That sounds like a power a god would have... To have the power to reject fate." Kazuha tried to make sense of Orihime's Shun Shun Rikka. "C'mon Heiji, let's get goin' home."
"Alright, tell Ku-Conan I said bye." Heiji said and left with Kazuha. Next time they'll have to stay over longer. They made their way to the train station and bought tickets to Osaka. "Sorry for gettin' ya involved in dis Kazuha." Heiji said as they made they made their way to the train seats.
"It's okay Heiji. If ya told me without proof, I would have call ya crazy." Kazuha chuckled. "I mean spirits, hollows, shinigami's and fullbringers. Dat sounds like a part of an anime!" Kazuha then smirked. "I told ya ghost were real!" She bragged.
"Yeah, yeah! I knew da was coming!" He sighed. "I'm really glad yer safe... Because I... Care for ya... Ya know and I would feel like crap for lettin ya get hurt..." Heiji said, blushing greatly.
"Heiji..." Kazuha blushed. 'Your confession sucks Ahou... But I understand, I love you.' Kazuha smiles. The two found their seats and awaited the train to take off.
One week later
A week has passed since Aoko had to take some time off from school to heal from being kidnapped and beaten by an enemy of Kaitou Kid. Since then, Kaito has been spending everyday with her much to her fathers dismay. Saguru wondered what they did the whole week they were together. When Aoko walked into the class Saguru saw that she was wearing a turtleneck under her long slevee uniform and was a little too close to Kaito.
'Why is he that close to her?' The detective thought. Saguru walked up to Aoko and grabbed her hand. "It's good to see you're well Nakamouri-san." He kissed her hand, and feels a glare from Kaito. "Is something wrong Kuroba?" He asked in a taunting tone.
"No, I'm just fine." Kaito glared at Saguru. Class began and a normal day began for the class. After a prank or two from Kaito and an peek up Aoko's skirt which led to a chase around the classroom, it was time for lunch. Just when Saguru, Keiko and Akako tried to talk to Aoko, Kaito grabbed her hand and dragged her away.
"I wonder where they were going in saw a rush?" Keiko wondered. Akako smirked and looked at Saguru and simply said.
"You lose..." With that Akako ate her lunch.
"What's that suppose to be?" Saguru wondered. Keiko shurgges.
"With her, who knows." Keiko shook her head. Outside of the classroom, Kaito dragged Aoko to the roof of the school with their lunches.
"Kaito, what are we doing here?" Aoko asked.
"Eating lunch together." Kaito said simply. The two sat on the bench and eat lunch and made small talk but Kaito sounded a bit mad.
"What's wrong Kaito?" She asked. "You can tell me." Kaito looks at her hand.
"He kissed your hand..." He simply said, the words drenched with envy.
"Kaito, are you jealous?" She tilted her head. Kaito looks down.
"Sorry, relationships are still new to me." Kaito explained. "I just felt so mad when he did that." Aoko shook her head.
"You baka, it's just a gesture. You know I love you and only you." She smiled gently. Kaito smirked and scoots over to Aoko. "Kaito, what are you planning?"
"Can't I be close to my girlfriend?" Kaito hugged Aoko.
"Good, I thought you would do something naughty- AH!" Aoko gasped when she felt Kaito nibbled her ear. "Can you wait until after school!"
"Sorry." He chuckled. They cuddled for a minute and got back up from the ground.
"So when should we tell them?" His girlfriend wondered.
"Let Hakuba figure it out, he's a detective after all." Kaito chuckled. "All he really has to do is slide the turtleneck down a bit." He grabs the sleeve and pulls it and reveals her neck. There was a small red bruise on her neck, Kaito smirks at the mark. "He'll find my mark." Kaito hears the warning bell. "We better get going to class." Kaito and Aoko walked back to class.
Elsewhere (3:00PM)
"Class dismissed, and remember! We have a lot to catch up on!" Kobayashi exclaimed as her class packed up for the day. It's been two weeks since the school had to close down for repairs. It was kind of nice to be back at school instead of just sitting around all day. During the week he learned that Kaito Kuroba's childhood friend Aoko Nakamouri was kidnapped by a guy named Snake. When he get's the chance he should ask Ai about this Snake person.
"Oi Haibara!" Conan whispered so the real kids didn't hear.
"What is it Kudo-kun?" She whispered back.
"I need to talk to you about the organization, don't worry we're safe. I just need you to tell me something." He explained quietly.
"Okay." Ai nodded. The detective boys walked into Agasa's house, Ai went to the basement to place 'traps for mice' and Conan went with her to help, much to Mitsuhiko disappointment. "So what do you want to know." She asked in her cold tone.
"Do you know a man named Snake?" Conan asked. This got Ai's attention.
"That's a name I haven't heard in a while. This Snake works for a different part of the organization that deals with stealing jewels and other treasures around the world. He was arrested once before, but he broke out of jail." Ai explained.
"Wait, don't they have a zero tolerence policy when it comes to getting caught by the police?" Conan wondered.
"They do, but the group Snake works for isn't apart of main branch of the organization. He works for a sub-division that isn't directly tied to the rest of the black organization so no alchool codename." The ex memeber explained. "Don't tell me you met him!" She glared at him.
"No, someone else did. Snake came to his school and kidnapped his friend Aoko Nakamouri, and he saved her. Is Snake extremely dangerous?" The meitantei asked.
"Unlike Gin, Snake is a coward. He only kills people he corners and favors heart shots, he has horrible aim." Ai chuckled. "I remember someone always making fun of Snake. I only met him once, and one time is enough to last a life time." She shivered.
"Who was this guy?" Conan asked.
"I remember his face, and I remember his codename. It's Whiskey..." She remembers when she first met Whiskey.
Two years ago
It was the start of a normal day for Shiho Miyano, as she walked to the lab she got nasty looks from the other scientist that worked at the laboratory that she's taking over. She walked into the lab and sees a man standing in the middle of the lab. "Well, well. So you're Elena's second kid." The man was wearing a fedora and a black peat coat with black dress pants and black shoes. He takes off the hat, revealing his dark brown hair. "They call me Whiskey and that's all you need to know." Whiskey smirked.
"Well Whiskey, I need you to leave. I need to get to work on-"
"That crazy super untraceable poison right? I'll get going but damn..." Whiskey circled her like a predator and grinned wickedly. "I like what I see, how old are you?"
"Sixteen if you must know, now leave!" Shiho commanded coldly.
"Someone sounds like they need some discipline." Whiskey got closer to Shiho, and she backed up to the counter. However the door opened and revealed Gin.
"Whiskey, you have a mission..." Gin glared at Whiskey. The assassin shurgged and walked off.
"Next time Sherry." He walked off. The other assassin looked at Shiho and stares at her.
"Get to work." With that he left.
End of flashback
"I'll be honest, if it weren't for Gin that day, Whiskey would have 'punished' me that day." Ai shook her head. "Whiskey always loved to pick on Snake because of what he was trying to find."
"What was Snake searching for?" Conan wondered.
"Something called Pandora." This caused Conan's eyes widen. So Snake is looking for Pandora, then why did he kidnap Aoko. What did he have to gain from doing that. "What's up?"
"I don't get it, why did Snake kidnap Nakamouri-san. What did he have to gain..." Conan began to think deeply.
"Maybe it has something to do with Kaitou Kid and Pandora." Ai suggested. This caused Conan to turn quickly towards Ai.
"What!?"
"Snake has the biggest Kaitou Kid obession. I heard that he killed a magician named Toichi Kuroba." The scientist explained.
'No way...' Conan thought. Ai walked upstairs and Conan followed her. She turned on the computer and loaded the web browser and search for Toichi Kuroba. She opened a web page that was labeled disaster at magician show.
"Look at this." Ai pointed at the page.
Master Magician Toichi Kuroba has died in a tragic accident. According police reports the explosion was caused by equipment neglect. Chikage, his wife agured that Toichi kuroba is a master of his craft and would never be so careless. Her arguement was ignored and she was forced to leave the burning scene.
"The burning scene?" Conan scrolled down and saw that the damage. The whole building that Toichi was performing in was burnt to the ground. "All this destruction, just to kill one man." This disturbed Conan.
"You're right, Snake doesn't care if he's spotted or captured. He'll use any means to kill Kaitou Kid." Ai replied. Conan searched more about the disaster. He tried to looked up the names of those in charge of the investigation, but all of the names were withhheld.
"Why would they withhold the names of those involved in the investigation?" Conan wondered.
"It was most likely to make sure the media doesn't find the officers and question them. However, you can always talk Nakamouri-keibu, he was best friends with Toichi Kuroba." Ai suggested.
"I'll think about it, but first I need to call kaa-san. She was his student." Conan pulled out his cell phone and dialed her number.
"Moishi, moishi?" Yukiko asked.
"Hi Kaa-san." Conan said hello.
"Shin-chan! I naven't heard from you in sometime how are you?" Yukiko gleefully asked.
"I'm investigation the death of Toichi Kuroba. Can you help me?" The other line was silent. "Kaa-san?"
"Sorry... His death was hard on all of us. He was Yuu-chan's friend, my acting sensei and the husband of Chi-chan. You know they said that it was an accident!" Yukiko tone was solemn. "There is no way that he could be so careless!" She cried.
"Tou-san and Toichi were friends?" The meitantei was shocked.
"Hai, they met and became very good friends." Yukiko explained. "Me and Chi-chan met during my training and we became good friends. It just makes me so angry that they didn't let Yuu-chan investigate!"
"They didn't let tou-san investigate?" Conan was confused. Why would anyone pass up the help of his father, who was a greater detective then himself.
"Stupid men and their pride." She hissed. "They barred him from the scene and arrogantly said that a simple author wouldn't be able to help them. They even wouldn't listen to Chi-chan!" Yukiko was on the verge of crying. "When we were... At the funnral... I saw Ka-kai-chan's face and there wasn't any emotion... Just nothing, I've never seen an eight year old like that." Yukiko was now crying.
"I'll look into it with Kuroba, maybe we should talk with Nakamouri-keibu first and see if he'll help us." Conan hastly tried to ease his mother.
"You'll look into it! Thank you Shin-chan I got to go, Bye..." Yukiko hanged up. Conan printed Snake's criminal record and puts it in his backpack, then gets his shoes on.
"Where are you going Conan-kun?" Ayumi asked as the other two detective boys played video games.
"To visit a friend." Conan grabbed his skateboard and rode off.
'What are you up to Kudo-kun...' Ai wondered then decided to joined the real kids in a game. After a thirty minute ride on his skateboard he arrived in Ekoda. He looks around the neighberhoods until he finds a house with the name plate with the family name Kuroba. The house wasn't very big or small and was two stories. Conan takes off his glasses and he used his fullbring and becomes Shinichi Kudo ran up to the door and knocked on the door.
"Coming~" A voice happily cheered. The door opens, revealing a beauiful woman with short red hair. "Hello... Oh my god... You look like Kaito!" The woman exclaimed. "If your hair was more messy you would a Kaito clone, and that suit. Are trying to impress someone?" She teased. When Shinichi transformed, the outfit he was wearing was what he was wearing before he shrunk. A blue dress shirt with a white under shirt and blue pant with red and white shoes.
"No. Kuroba-san I need to talk to Kuroba Kaito." Shinichi said to the happy woman.
"Kaa-san, who's there!?" Kaito asked and came over. "Hey tantei-san! What brings you here?" Kaito asked. Just then Aoko came from the living room as well, blushing.
"Who's he!?" Aoko asked in a shocked tone. "He looks just like you!"
'What the heck! She looks like Ran!' Shinichi thought shocked and then spoke. "My name is Shinichi Kudo, I'm a detective." He introduced. This caused Chikage to hug him.
"Oh my god Shin-chan! I haven't seen you in so long! I've only seen you as a baby, my you've grown so much!" Chikage exclaimed while hugging the young man. Shinichi shot Kaito a 'help me' look, Kaito nodded and broke apart the hug.
"I'm sorry Kudo-san, my mom is just happy that me and Aoko are dating." Kaito explained. This caused Aoko to blush.
"She also saw us... Kissing..." Aoko said quietly. There was a pang of guilt inside of Shinichi. He knew who Aoko Nakamouri is. She's the daughter of Ginzo Nakamouri, inspector and leader of the task force. He knew that Aoko hated the Kid as much as her father, but he had to talk to him.
"I need to talk to you Kuroba... About your tou-san's murder..." There was a gasp from Aoko and Chikage.
"What makes you think-" Chikage was cut off by Kaito.
"So you found out Tantei-san... About my tou-san and how he was the first Kaitou Kid, and how I'm the second." Kaito said looked at Shinichi with a hard look. "I knew he was murdered, there was no way that he could die from equipment neglect. But I could never prove it..."
"I see. So she-" Shinichi started.
"Hai! I know, and I accept him..." Aoko nodded fiercely. "I also know about the Pandora, the Shinigami, the hollows and the fullbringers."
"So he told you everything, well then this makes things alot easier. I found out from a soruce that Snake works for a different branch from the main sector." Shinichi started. "He works for a sub-division that isn't directly tied to the organization. Which is way he has a police record." Shinichi pulled out Snakes record. Chikage glared at the picture with so much haterd that it shock Kaito and Aoko.
"Him..." Chikage simply said in a dark tone.
"I'm sorry this must be hard." Shinichi solemnly said.
"It's okay Shinichi-kun... I'm fine..." Chikage's bangs covered her face. Aoko looked at the picture and turned pale.
"That the man that hurt me..." Aoko shivered in fear. Kaito scooted over to Aoko and hugged her.
"It's okay Aoko, he won't hurt you never again." Kaito kissed her cheek which makes Aoko blush.
"Kaito! Not in front of someone, it just feels weird." Aoko blushed greatly. Shinichi clears his throat.
"Well, I think we should talk to Nakamouri-keibu first. For some reason the names were withheld, maybe Nakamouri-keibu could give us a clue on the lead investigator." Shinichi explained. It would be a start to put Snake where he belongs.
"That sound like a good start, I forgot to tell my otou-san about Snake and what he said about oji-san. But will he make the connection that Kaito is Kaitou Kid?" Aoko was very worried. Her father has spend twenty years chasing Kaitou Kid with no success and she wasn't about to let her own father drag Kaito to jail.
"Don't worry Nakamouri-san, I'm sure that your tou-san wouldn't just arrest Kuroba without the whole story. I would like to join you like this, but I can't. Can you keep this a secret." The women nod. Shinichi takes a breath and closes his eyes. The teen becomes surrounded by a bright blue light and shrinks down to Conan.
"WHAT THE! You just- you were- now you're!" Aoko was very confused.
"Oh my... That's..." Chikage was at a lose for words.
"It's my power, I can grow, shrink, make my clothing as strong as armor and unleash energy blasts. Right now I'm Conan Edogawa!" Conan introduced his other self. "We need to meet with Nakamouri-keibu. Let's get going!" Conan, Aoko and Kaito left the house and make their way to the Tokyo police department. As they walked the three of them talked. "So why did you tell Nakamouri-san everything?" Conan asked.
"I didn't want to lie to her anymore. I wanted her to know everything. So during the week that she was recovering, I told her about my power, hollows, Shinigami and fullbringers." The magician explained.
"Aoko wouldn't have beleived him about the ghost, hollows, shinigami and the power of the fullbringers if he didn't show me his power, wairudo karuto." Aoko explained.
"Wairudo karuto?" Conan looked at Kaito. It seems that Aoko named Kaito power for him.
"Well I think it's a great name right Kaito!" The girl smiled.
"Right!" The three of them walk. They entered the building and requested to meet with Nakamouri-keibu. The three waited for five minutes until they entered the office of Nakamouri.
"Hello Aoko!" He looks at Kaito. "Kaito-kun..." He glared at the teen, then turns to Conan. "And if it isn't Conan-kun! What brings you here?" He asked.
"We're here about the man that hurt Aoko." Kaito started. Conan pulled out the criminal file and showed it to Nakamouri-keibu.
"That's the man that kidnapped me and hurt me..." Aoko looked down. The keibu looked though the file.
"According to this, he's a jewel thief just like him but more lethal. He's killed alot of people and stole a fair share of jewels. Then this spree slowed down when Kaitou Kid came on the scene. This man must have become irritated and started to hunt down Kaitou Kid when he was outside of his criminal activity." Nakamouri deduced.
"He also killed my otou-san, thinking that he was Kaitou Kid." Kaito added. This made Nakamouri flinch and glare at Kaito.
"But he's dead, that means-"
"Maybe this man that calls himself Snake kill Toichi oji-san because he thought that he was Kaitou Kid!" Aoko interuppted. "Toichi was a magician and so is Kaitou Kid. Snake might have kill Toichi, thinking that he was Kaitou Kid!" Aoko defended her boyfriend. "Can you tell us who looked into Toichi's death?" Aoko pleaded with her father.
"I would love to find out who killed Toichi, but I can't." Ginzo looked down.
"Because someone withheld the names." Conan answered. This shocked Ginzo.
"How did you know?" He asked.
"Shinichi nee-san tried to look up those who investigated Toichi's death put couldn't find the names." Conan explained.
"You're right, they withheld the names in the investigation, they didn't even allow Kudo Yuusaku to help, they ignored Chikage claims. Someone really wanted this buried." Ginzo pulled out his pipe and lit it. "Try lookin' up Yuminaga. He's the head of the arson squad. He might be able to help you out, but be careful. Nakamouri warned.
"We'll be careful tou-san!" Aoko reasurred her father. Her and the two boy leave Nakamouri's room and searched for the arson squad leader. They left the Tokyo metro department and made their way to the police station in Beika street. They entered the building and requested to meet with Yuminaga. They get the okay and enter his office.
"Conan-kun! It's good to see you. Who are your friends?" He asked.
"This is Aoko Nakamouri-niichan and Kaito Kuroba-neechan!" The boy exclaimed. This cause the inspectors eyes to widen.
"Wait! Kuroba..." Yuminaga paused for a second. "Your Toichi's boy! I think I know why your here..."
"You're right, we need your help with the fire eight years ago. It was no accident, it was murder." Kaito said and handed him Snake criminal record.
"That man kidnapped me a week ago and said that he kill Toichi-ojisan and bragged about it! Can you offer any help at all, no matter how small the lead is, we'll work with it and stop him!" Aoko yelled fiercely. Yuminaga smirks at her determination and chuckled.
"You really are like your tou-san Aoko-kun. Or maybe it's for this young man here." He chuckled when they blushed. "But eight years is a long time, I can give you the name of one the investigators involved in the Toichi case. His name is Shiro Katsu. He's the one that ordered Kudo-san, Chikage and anyone close to Toichi to be barred from the scene. But be careful, Katsu is a Superintendent. You might not be able to met him any time soon." Yuminaga explained.
"Why, is he out of town?" Kaito asked.
"No. He hates kids, anyone younger then him he hates. So he might not meet you simply because you're kids." Yuminaga sighed. "He might just brush you aside and ignore you. Here's his address." He hands them a slip of paper with a number one it. The address was to an apartment complex in Beika.
"So we're at a dead end?" Aoko asked sadly.
"Not quiet. Come on, let's go home and regroup, I'm getting hungrey..." Kaito held his stomach. The three walked out of the police station and made their way to the train staion. "Can you help kaa-san cook something anata." Kaito smiled, Aoko blushed and nodded.
"Sure, how about you K-Conan-kun? Do you want something to eat, it's getting late." Aoko looked at her watch, the watch reads six o'clock.
"Nah, I'm good. So will you meet with Katsu?" Conan smirked.
"You know I will." Kaito smirked, he knew how he would meet Shiro."I'll see you tomorrow Conan-kun.
"Good bye, I'll see you tomorrow!" With that Conan rode off on his skateboard when he got back to Beika. When he entered the agency he met with the hard glare of Ran.
"Young man it is eight o'clock! Where have you been!?" She scolded.
"I'm sorry, I was with Kaito-niichan!" Conan explained. Somehow, Ran calmed down.
"I see... I'll heat up some leftovers for you. We can eat together then we'll brush are teeth and go to bed." Ran explained.
"I'm I still going to sleep in your room?" Conan asked while blushing. Ever since Akako kidnapped him, she has been more protective of Conan. She protected him from Kogoro when he tried to hit her. Ran also stopped trying to stop Conan on cases and became more helpful instead of telling him to leave it to the police. She had also invited Conan to her room much to his embrassment. Kogoro was completely against the idea, thinking that Conan would take advantage of his daughter, of course he was drunk at the time. She ignored her drunk father and packed up Conan's futon.
"Oh... I get it... You don't want to be with me!" Ran's voice cracked. This caused Conan's eyes to widen.
"Wait-"
"You think that your neechan is icky because she a girl, and your at that age when you think girls are disgusting. I understand... That you... Don't want anything to do with me...!" Ran covered her face and sounded like she was crying.
"HOLD ON!" Conan yelled. "I don't think your icky or gross, it just feels like I'm trespassing..." Conan lamly explained. Ran bent down and grasped Conan by his shoulders.
"You're not trespassing. I invited you to my room Conan-kun understand. Now let's go eat some dinner okay!" Ran smiled.
"Hai!" Conan and Ran went up stairs to eat dinner. After that, they brushed their teeth and talked their day. "So how was school?" Conan asked.
"It was okay, but for some reason Kurosaki-kun was on edge today. It was like he was ready to attack someone." Ran explained.
'I'll have to ask about that tomorrow.' Conan made a mental note. He and Ran got dressed for bed and walked into her room. She laid down and made space for Conan-kun.
"Do you have enough space?" Ran asked.
"Hai, I have enough space. Thank you Ran-neechan." Conan got more comfortable. Just then, Ran took off Conan's glasses and puts them on the nightstand.
"Good night Conan-kun." Ran pulled him closer to her.
"G-good night Ran-neechan..." Conan closed his eyes and fell asleep. Ran smiled and watched as he fell asleep.
'Your not the only one that can act Shinichi.' She smiles and falls asleep.
To be continued...
A/N- I think Wairudo karuto means wild card in japanese, I'm not sure. Tell me if I'm wrong and I might fix it. What's up with Ichigo, how will Kaito meet with this Shiro and how will the hunt for Snake go, will they be sucessful?
New universe returns- All great idea's that will be used much later in the story, I hope you don't mind. I mention that Aoko's power will revolve around water, this is how it will work. Her power is inspired by Tia harribel, but will be at a weaker level. Ai will find out about Shinichi involvement with the shinigami and will try to break it off. It will take Kazuha a few times before she gets use to the hollows.
Athina Dark-angel of death- That gonna happen alot.
Ichigo-lover-1412-Glad you really liked it. Just what, soon Snake is gonna get it!
