A/N: Sorry I didn't post anything yesterday. There was this really awesome party at school and I was kind of busy getting ready.
I felt really smart while writing this chapter X3 It's a nice long one and I had much fun writing it.
Pairing: Well, you know who ^^ Not from Harry Potter!
Warning: shitty english, yaoi and bit strong languages.
Disclaim: *puts on armor* DC is mine! *Soccer ball hits face* *Mai-chan falls down*...I'll try again...next time...but for now...not mine...
A/N: Just for those who don't know, the Trojan war took place because Paris, prince of Troy, steals the wife of Menelaos, a greek king. Menelaos goes to Agamemnon, his brother and another greek king, for help. They gather other greek kings and attack Troy.
There's more behind it but this is the basic.
Enjoy~!
~~xXx~~
"Like nobody I will claim the only eye of the giant.
The hour I will take this eye will be the years metis spent before he finally returned home.
I wish you, police and my dearest detectives, good luck, because you're going to need this on this day of bad luck."
(KID doodle)
"What is that supposed to mean?" Hattori asked. The kansai detective had come imediatly when he heard about the heist note.
"KID really tried to make it hard this time, didn't he?" Hakuba said.
"And? Figured out anything?" Nakamori-keibu said surly. He still didn't like the fact that he needed the three high-school detective brats to help him with the case, but up until now he didn't understand a word of KID's note.
"Well, one thing is for sure." the third detective said. "He will steal this 'eye' this Friday." The other looked at him in surprise.
"How do you know for sure?" The brown eyed detective asked.
"Well, he said he wished us good luck on the day of bad luck. What day brings bad luck?" Shinichi said.
"Fridday the 13th!" Hattori said.
"Right, this year we will have three Friday's the 13th, in january, april and july. Today is january the 9th, so that why it's this Friday." The azure eyed detective said.
"And? What about the time and the target?" Nakamori-keibu asked.
"I don't know that one yet." Shinichi said, scratched the back of his head and smiled.
"Geez, that's helpful." Hattori said.
"It is, because now we know how long we can try to figure out the rest." Hakuba said. The dark-skinned detective glared at the him.
"Who do you think this metis is?" Shinichi said, trying to prevent the two detectives from getting into a fight. The two of them stared then shrugged.
"I know it's a planetoid, or also known as asteroid. Though I don't know how KID wants to tell us when he will steal nor what." Hakuba said.
"Isn't it also a moon? The moon of Jupiter." Hattori said. He tapped with his finger against his cheek then pointed it into the air. The two other detectives could almost see the lightbulb above his head. "I know! Metis is also known as Jupiter XVI, in other words 16!" The dark-skinned detective grinned, glad that he figured it out before the blond detective.
"Baka, first of all, KID wouldn't plan his heist at 4 p.m. and I think even he needs his sleep so I don't think it will be 4 a.m. Second, he said it would be the years of metis long voyage." Hakuba said.
Hattori pouted. "Well then, what does it mean?" He said.
"A goddess." The two detective looked in the azure eyes of the third detective. "Metis is the mother of Athena and Zeus' first wife. He eventually ate her for some reason, but that's not it either." Shinichi folded his arms and frowned. "The asteroid, the moon of Jupiter and the goddess. Neither of them made any 'voyage before he finally returned home'." He looked up and saw the others were staring at him. "Ah, sorry, just thinking out loud." He said. The others sighed.
"If you can't solve it then would you mind leaving? I don't feel like babysitting you guys." Nakamori-keibu said. The three detectives had totally forgotten that he was still in the room.
"What! I remember last heist when some nobody got caught in one of KID's obvious traps and WE were the ones who had to get you out of it!" Hattori yelled.
Something clicked in Shinichi's mind. Something Hattori said sounded familiar and important.
"Calm down, Hattori!" Hakuba said and tried to stop the osakan. But neither him nor the keibu listened to the blond detective.
"What did you say, punk! I'm not nobody! I am Ginzo Nakamori, a police officer, YOU need to respect!" the man yelled back. Again a click in Shinichi's mind and suddenly all the pieces fell together.
"Hattori, you're a genuis!" said detective looked at him in surprise, then a grin cracked his face.
"Off course, I am!" he said. Slowly his smile faded away. "Why am I a genuis again?"
"You just said it yourself. Nobody!" Now even Hakuaba looked confused at the azure eyed detective. Shinichi sighed and began explaining.
"Remember what KID said. 'Like nobody, I will claim the only eye of the giant'. When he says the only eye of the giant, he means a cyclops."
"A mythical giant with only one eye." Hakuba said.
Shinichi nodded. "He is referring to the cyclop's eye, a gem which is displayed for about a month in Beika museum."
"So, what does 'Like nobody' mean?" Hattori asked.
"Have you ever read Odyssey from Homer?" when the azure eyed detective didn't get any positive reactions he explained further. "It's a book about Odysseus, king of Ithaca, a greek island. After the Trojan war, Odysseus insulted the gods and especially Poseidon, god of the sea. Poseidon wanted revenge and sent thousands of storms and other misfortune to Odysseus. This is why he didn't get to Ithaca for over ten years after the Trojan war. This explains the time of KID's heist." Shinichi pointed at the second sentence on the little note. "'The hour I will take this eye will be the years metis spent before he finally returned home'. He means Odysseus when he said metis."
"Ten years, so that would at ten o'clock, right?" Hattori said. Shinichi nodded.
"But why would he say metis instead of Odysseus?" Hakuba asked.
"That can be exlplained by one of Odysseus' adventures during these ten years." The focus on the room changed towards Shinichi again. "Once Odysseus and his men came on this island were the cyclops lived. They were caught by one, who was called Polyphemus and held captived. To escape, Odysseus thought up a plan. He ordered his men to make a stake and hide it. After that Odysseus gave Polyphemus a strong wine, making the cyclops drunk. Polypehmus asked Odysseus his name. Odysseus tells him me tis, which is literally translated as 'nobody'. Though when combined it means cunning. The cyclops, drunk as he was, thought Odysseus ment Nobody was his real name. Quite the funny play on words, because after Polyphemus falls asleep, Odysseus orders his men to use the stake to pierce the eye of the giant. He wakes up and screams towards his fellow cyclops that 'nobody' had hurt him."
"I do remember that he was called Odysseus the Cunning." Hakuba said.
"He was also the one who thought up the Trojan Horse, wasn't he?" Hattori said.
Nakamori-keibu clenched his fists.
"And the Romans thought of him as-"
"Yes, we got it! Now let's stick to KID's heist!" Nakamori-keibu burst out. The three detectives looked at him.
"Uhm..yes, so KID will take the cyclop's eye, a gem displayed in Beika Museum." Hakuba said.
"At ten o'clock on Friday the 13th." Hattori finished.
Prepare yourself KID. Because there are three detectives who are not easily fooled. Shinichi thought.
~~xXx~~
"KYA~!"
"KID-SAMA~!"
Girls...girls...everywhere girls...the whole building was surounded by girls screaming for their idol. Kaito KID. A magician and a thief. Looking for a certain gem. Shinichi knew he was, but he didn't know why or what kind of gem. He just didn't understand. And he still wanted to know about that night one week ago.
"Just let me hold you for a bit." the thief whispered. The bridge of his nose fitted perfectly in the crook of Shinichi's neck. The detective felt a small blush reach his cheecks. Then he relaxed and hesistantly put his arms around the thief.
They sat like that for a while before he felt a something cool slide down his neck. Water? Tears? Was the thief crying?
Another blush threatened to rise but Shinichi pushed it away. Why would he blush about something so stupid. His eyes closed. He was a man for christ sake. But...what was that feeling he had had that weekend. It felt...comfortable and...nice...being with the thief.
He smiled at his own stupidity. That weekend didn't change the fact that KID was still a thief that needed to be locked away.
"KID-SAMA!" The fangirl screams from outside snapped him out of his musing. He looked out of the window. Police officers struggled to keep the girls from entering the builiding. Shinichi felt sorry for them. A sigh escaped his lips. The detective had been in Beika museum ever since school finished. And he had had a really awkward feeling that something wasn't right. Maybe it was just his brain thinking something bad was going to happen because it was Friday the 13th, but nothing happened at school...well...except that there was another murder case when he went to school, afterwards it began to rain and he dropped his bag in a puddle, making his books wet, during lunch he noticed he had forgotten his food and didn't even have any money to buy something. He regretted remembering that. His stomach grumbled. Another sigh.
"Wanna grab a bite?" Shinichi looked up into the green eyes of his osakan friend. "Cause it sounds like you could use some food."
"I want to stay here for the heist." Shinichi said simply.
Suddenly his wrist was grabbed and he was dragged away. "Oi, wait!" He said, but the hand never let him go.
"You are seriously gonna starve to death if you don't take care of yourself better." Hattori said. "Besides it's only seven o'clock! We still have three hours left before the heist begins!"
For the third time Shinichi sighed but then followed his friend.
They found a nice little restaurant and ordered some food. After half an hour of chit chatting a bit, Hattori's cell phone went off. He picked it up.
"HEIJI! WHERE ARE YOU?" Even Shinichi could hear Kazuha's voice clearly from the other side of the table. "YOU PROMISED WE WOULD WATCH A MOVIE TOGETHER!" Quickely Hattori hung up.
"She's not going to be happy you did that, you know." Shinichi said.
"I know, but what am I supposed to tell her? I totally forgot!" Hattori said.
"Tell her the truth." The detective asked.
"Like you did?"
Shinichi almost choked in his food. "That's a totally different thing." He said.
Hattori sighed. "Women, I just can't understand them. They are only a pain in the ass and they cause nothing but trouble! I mean, look at the Trojan war. The whole thing was because of a woman!*"
"Actually, that was only one of the reasons. Agamemnon only helped because he wanted to destroy Troy and even if they Troy had given back Helen I'm pretty sure Agamemnon would have attacked them.*"
"Still, ten years of war because of one woman. It's selfish to, those soldiers are away from home for ten years before they can finally go back." Shinichi jerked up, causing some people next to them to look at him. "What did you say?" he asked.
"I said it's selfish."
"No, after that."
"Those soldiers are away from home for ten years. Is something wrong with that?" Shinichi didn't answer, he held his chin with one hand while the other supported his elbow.
"Now way. He didn't mean." Suddenly the azure eyed detective ran away.
"Ey, wait! Where are you going?" Hattori yelled, but Shinichi didn't stop. He ran as fast as he could towards the museum. He glanced at his watch. Five minutes left. I have to hurry!
The museum came in sight. Shinichi ran even faster. Three minutes. He fought his way through the crowd of fangirls and finally reached teh door. Two minutes left.
"I have to see Nakamori-keibu!" He said to the police officer.
"Yes, of course!" Shinichi sighed and made an attempt to walk inside the building when the police officer continued. "Just like all the others and just like all the others you can't get in."
"What? I am Shinichi Kudo!"
"And I am a prince from far far away. Now get back!"
Shit, he didn't believe him! What was he supposed to do?
"Kudo-kun?" Shinichi looked inside the building to Hakuba standing there.
"Hakuba, thank god! I need to see Nakamori-keibu but this guy won't let me in!" His fellow detective nodded.
"It's okay, he can come inside." He said to the officer. The man doubted a bit but then let him in. Shinichi ran inside and jolted towards the elevator. Both detectives got inside and the machine moved up. The azure eyed one tapped nervously with his food on the floor.
"Oi, you okay?" The other asked.
"No, I'm not. KID isn't going to come at ten o'clock Hakuba!"
"What? Why not?"
"We didn't count in one thing. Odysseus took part in the Trojan war. The Trojan war lasted ten years. Meaning before he got home, twenty years had passed!" The otehr gasped when he realised their mistake.
"That means twenty years stands for eight o'clock!" He said.
"What time is it?" Shinichi asked, trusting Hakuba-always-knowing-the-exact-time watch.
"Fity-six seconds before eight o'clock." Hakuba said soft.
"Damn." A ping sounded and the doors opened. Both detectives jolted out of the elevator towards the room where the cyclops' eye was. They yanked the door open and ran inside.
"What the hell is this all about?" Nakamori-keibu yelled.
"Thirty seconds!" Hakuba said.
"Nakamori-keibu, KID doesn't come at ten o'clock! Instead it's eight!" Shinichi said.
"What? Why?"
"Twenty seconds."
"Odysseus returned after twenty years instead of ten! We had to add the Trojan war as well!" Shinichi said.
"Damn that KID!" Nakamori-keibu grabbed his receiver. "All men, stand ready KID will arive at eight o'clock!"
"Ten seconds!" Quickely all the other officers in the room stood up from where they were relaxing and got into their position.
"5...4...3...2...1...0" Ting...ting...ting...the sound of something metal ringed on the stone floor. Everyone looked at the small can rolling further over the floor from one side of the room to the other. A few officers put their arms in front of their nose and mouth in case the hated sleeping gas came out. The small can rolled and rolled without ever exploding or letting out gas. Another ring when the can hit the wall on the other side of the room. Everyone backed away from the small object. The officers hesistantly relaxed. Shinichi, realising it was just a distraction, was the first one to look away at the cyclops eye, only to find it gone. His head jerked around the room in search of the white figure.
A laugh made everyone look around and focused on the open window. Loud squeeling came to meet them. KID stood there in mid air.
"KID!" Nakamori-keibu yelled.
"A very good evening to you too, Nakamori-keibu~!"
"Get you're ass here, right now!"
"Awww, what are you going to do? You're not going to scold me, are you~? I'm having quite a lot of fun here! And of course I don't want my fans to get bored so why don't you just sit back and enjoy my show~!" KID said, then turned towards the crowd below. "Ladies and gentleman!" He said. The crowd had no trouble hearing him. "Let's begin." He said and his typical KID-smirk tugged at his lips. He snapped with his fingers and a dozen of birds appeared in puffs of smoke. He raised his hands, but suddenly he froze. Shinichi saw him clenching his hand. Then all of a sudden a gunshot echoed, KID seemed to try and dodge the bullet, but fell down in the process. The birds swirled around the falling thief and just before hitting the ground they dispersed. The thief had vanished. The crowd fell silent in then burst out in loud cheers.
Shinichi tried to find the source of the gunshot but knew the sniper would be gone already. What was that? Why was KID shot? Is he okay? At least he knew he couldn't be dead, otherwise he couldn't have pulled that last trick with the birds, not yet at least.
~~xXx~~
Shinichi unlocked his front door and went inside the house. He took of his shoes and immediatly went upstairs. He brushed his teeth in the bathroom and opened the door to his bedroom.
After KID had disappeared he wanted to go home but he still had to explain everything to Hattori about running away so suddenly. He also had to bring teh osakan to the train station. It had taken two hours before he was finally home. In the back of his mind he still wondered if KID was okay.
His room was dimly lit by the light of the moon.
"Yo~!" Shinichi jumped by the sudden voice and looked up. There in his room stood a boy his age. He wore simple jeans and a t-shirt. His face was covered by the shadows of the room, but the detective didn't even need to see the boy to know who it is.
"KID? What happened? You did not plan for that to happen, did you?" The thief tilted his head a bit.
"Oh, I thought you were going to ask me why I am here? Were you that worried about me~!" Shinichi blushed and hoped that the darkness would cover it, but didn't think it did when he heard the other chuckle.
"Doesn't matter, don't dodge the question."
"I'm fine, don't worry about it." KID said. "I dodged the bullet in time."
Shinichi didn't believe, he knew the thief was shot. He walked towards the thief and put his finger on the right side of KID's chest just below his collarbone. The thief winced at the touch.
"Yes, I can see you perfectly dodged it." Shinichi said. "Who were they?"
"It's best if you don't know." KID said.
"They shot you!" Shinichi shouted.
"So what, it's not you're business." KID stern voice made Shinichi step back. It was true, it wasn't his business. But then his detective mind helped him.
"You're fighting something. Alone. You're being targeted! Let me help you!" He said confident.
"No way!" The thief's sudden outburst scared him, but didn't make him give up.
"Why not? Is it because I'm a detective and you're a thief?" KID looked away.
"It's not."
"Then what is it?" Suddenly two hands took his face and a forehead was pushed against his.
"I don't want you to get hurt." KID said softely. Shinichi knew that the thief had a no-one-gets-hurt policy but...this was different.
His eyes widened when he felt something. Something warm..on his lips. Someone else's lips were being pressed against his. KID's lips were pressed against his. The thief broke the kiss, but didn't let go.
"I love you, Shinichi." Shinichi felt his face found a new color red.
"What? Don't joke around! We're both guys!" He said and tried to look away, but strong hands kept him from doing so.
"I don't care." KID said and pulled him into another kiss. Shinichi's hands were pressed against teh thief's chest. He wanted to push the other away, but couldn't. He didn't want to. The detective broke the kiss.
"I'm sorry, I..I can't." He let his hands fall down and his shoulder dropped.
"I can." KID said and pushed him onto the bed.
"Hey, wait!"
"I can't. I've waited to long." Another kiss. He felt the thief's tongue against his lower lip, begging for enterance, but Shinichi kept his lips sealed. He couldn't let that tongue inside. KID would notice that.
The thief chuckled. "You will be mine." He said in a husky voice. Shinichi blushed and opened his lips in a gasp. KID took advantage of that and slid his tongue inside.
No. Shinichi thought. He felt the tongue slide over his teeth.
A metalic taste filled his mouth and that's when he lost all controle.
~~xXx~~
