A/N: Welcome to yet another chapter of Bloody Secrets! First, I love writing Hoodie-san! Second, while writing Kaito's thoughts I came up with the perfect idea for this plot X3 There was still one thing I had to work out and now I have! Just the perfect solution! Anyway, I don't really have much time at the moment so I won't put up the disclaimer and everything but you guys know all those things already.

Enjoy reading Hoodie-san teasing Kaito XD

*edited*

I'm sorry for all the errors in the end! I changed it now, 'cause I felt so bad leaving it like that .

I'm really curious as to what you guys are thinking of this story. I guess not everyone likes it that much anymore (probably because of Kai-chan and Shin-chan breaking up, but I promise I'll let them come back together within a few chappies!) Please review and tell me what you think!

~~xXx~~

"No!" the scream was muffled, but he could hear it clearly. He tried to find the source of where it came from, but in this abandoned building it echoed everywhere. "Aaah!" Another scream, this time a little louder. It came from a window in the back. They were behind the building! He ran outside and carefully looked around the corner. A girl, probably 17, maybe 18, was lying on the ground, clutching her belly tightely. A man, dressed in black, stood in front of her.

"Let's go, Pan." The man said.

"No...I don't want to!" she said while panting.

The man stood with his back facing him. If he was quick, he could safe the girl. As quietly as he could he started to come a little closer to the black figure. At one moment he looked straight into the girl's eyes. They were a mix of green and blue, but he could see another color swirling around the pupils.

Blood red.

He looked away. Now wasn't the time to admire her beautiful eyes, he was close enough to overpower the man! He jumped on top of the black figure. Immediatly the latter started to fight back. The two rolled on the ground, until he had the man beneath him.

"Run!" He yelled to the girl, who was now sitting up, one hand still on her belly, the other held something else, but he couldn't see what. Suddenly the man beneath him turned around with an amazing flexibility, then he hit his belly hard, knocking all air out of his lungs. The black figure pushed him off, while he gasped for air.

"Damn brat!" the man yelled. After a moment of silence he saw a grin spreading on the black figure's face. "This might teach you a lesson!"

He could feel something being stuck in his mouth, then a liquid followed. Water? Instinctively he swallowed, before jolting up and coughing when he felt that something slid down his throat with the water. A pill?

"Aaah!" He screamed it out when a painful jolt went through his body. His hands clutched his clothing, close to his heart, as if it would make everything less painfull. More jolts went through his body over and over again. The world around him was gone, the only thing left was that pain. Distantly he felt two arms holding him and a voice yelling something.

And just as quick as the pain came, it disappeared. He finally saw that he was in the girl's arms and that she was glaring at the black-cladded man, who was grinning.

"We'll pick him up after I bring you to the boss." The man said and moved forward to grab the girl. She fought back but he could see that her belly still hurt. After a small struggle she was able to get loose and come back to him.

Am I...going to die? He tried to ask, but no sound left his mouth. She looked at him sympathetically, then he felt her slip something under his shirt. It stopped on his chest, just above his heart. She pushed and he felt it...melt? He gasped and groaned. Whatever she was doing, it eased the pain from that pill the man had given him, though instead another pain came. It made him feel like he was dying! His heart beat fast, sometimes he couldn't feel it beat! Even his body didn't know what it wanted anymore. It went from burning hot, to ice cold.

Suddenly the arms around him disappeared, leaving nothing solid for him to hold on to.

Everything hurt. It hurt!

I'm going to die...

~~xXx~~

"So, what happened to you?" Kaito growled. Of course, he knew Hakuba would ask questions. After all there had been a heist this weekend and right now, they had p.e. in which Kaito didn't participate. He usually would've just ignored the pain of the bruises Tantei-kun inflicted with his Soccer Balls of Death, but getting shot in his leg was a different story. Thinking back to Tantei-kun made him inwardly smack his face. Get over it already!

"Earth to Kaito!" Kaito looked up. Hakuba looked at him with a weird look on his face, before a small smile appeared. "Did something happen during the heist?" The brunette sighed.

"I'm not KID, Hakuba." He growled again, then grinned sheepishly. "I just fell under the shower."

Hakuba raised an eyebrow. "Embarrasing." He said. "Is that also why you haven't pulled even one prank, this morning?"

An evil grin split the magician's face. "Nope, I've pulled the ultimate prank." Hakuba cocked his head and Kaito continued. "Not pulling a prank! Didn't you see how nervous the others were?" It was true. The magician hadn't pulled one prank and that had driven a lot of classmates crazy! One of them even went that far as to run out of the classroom screaming: I can't take this any more!

Hakuba chuckled. "Guess that's true." The two of them had gotten a bit closer after the whole incident with Aoko. Kaito knew the blond detective also liked her and was broken when he had heard the what happened to her.

During lunch the two boys went upstairs to the roof. Kaito lay on his back and stared at the sky. It was Wednesday and every morning he had received a note of Hoodie-san (to his annoyance all of the notes were written with different handwritings and there weren't any fingerprints on it. That guy was good!). He had tried to stay awake one night (he never needed that much sleep, so staying up one night wouldn't have been that difficult), but for some reason in the end he still had fallen a sleep and woken up the next morning to find a white rose on his desk. That guy was really starting to piss him off!

Kaito wondered about something though. In Hoodie-san's first note he told Kaito to stay away from Snake, as if he knew the latter. Did that mean that he was one of them? No, otherwise Snake would have know that Kaito was KID and go directly for him, instead of attacking him during heists only. Then did Hoodie-san posses something they wanted? Maybe...Pandora? Would that be possible?

"Alright, what's wrong?" Kaito looked up. Hakuba looked at him, his head leaning on his fist. He had that knowing-look in his eyes. "Something is bothering you and I want to know what."

The magician sighed. How was he going to explain this? He had a freaking hooded stalker? Then suddenly an idea popped into his mind. "Hey Hakuba, can you help me with something?"

"Sure, what?"

"I want you to help me find someone." The blond detective thought about it, then nodded.

"Alright, who is it you're looking for?"

"A guy."

"What's his name?"

"I don't know."

"What does he look like?"

"Cargo jeans and a hoodie."

"And his face?"

"That was covered by his hoodie."

"Is there any way you can recognise him when you see him?"

"Without his hoodie? No."

"Did you hear his voice?"

"No."

Hakuba buried his head in his hands. Kaito sweat dropped. "What do you know about him?"

"Uhm...he wears a hoodie and cargo jeans." Kaito smiled awkwardly.

"Really, why do you want to find someone you know practically- no, you know nothing about?" If it wasn't for his poker face, Kaito knew his face would have twitched.

"Just a score to settle." He said and looked away. He knew Hakuba looked at him, trying to see what was going on in the magician's head.

After a while he finally said. "Fine. I'll see what I can do." Kaito looked back and opened his mouth to say something when the blond continued. "But don't get too excited about it! I don't know if I'll be able to find him."

He grinned at the peer. "No worries!"

~~xXx~~

"Kuroba Kaito, to what do I owe this pleasure?" Kaito sweat dropped. He totally didn't like this idea. He still remembered when the red-haired witch had placed that spell on him during a heist. It had helped him escape, but it wasn't a pleasant feeling, being controlled like that.

"I need your help with something, Koizumi-san."

"Interesting, why don't you come in." She said while stepping aside. The thief hesitated, but knew he had to go through with this. It had been more than a week ago since he had asked Hakuba's help, but they still didn't have even one clue! It was quite frustrating as the notes kept coming. Although...they were kind of nice. Kaito forgot about certain (*coughdetectivecough*) things and off course, being the stageman he was, he liked the compliments Hoodie-san gave him. Also the mysterious guy seemed to know exactly what he liked to hear at the right time. How the hell did he do that? Maybe he was someone close to him? But no one he knew would be able to keep something like that without the magician noticing or at least suspecting something.

As he stepped inside the mansion (it looked more like a castle from one of those creepy horror movies though) he looked around. The room they were in was huge, his house would have probably fit into it, height and width! Along the walls were on where normally the second floor would be balconies. A huge stair on the other side of the room led to these balconies.

"So what is it that you need my help with?" Again Kaito hesitated. Akako was bound to ask for payment and she usually told what that payment was after she had provided the help.

"I'm searching for someone." He said.

"Oh?" She raised an eyebrow in amusement. "And who might that be?" a small smile tugged her lips.

Beneath his poker face Kaito sweat dropped. "That's what I want you to find out. Any clue about him will help. Name, appearance, anything."

The smile widened. "You know this is going to cost you." It was a statement, not a question.

He nodded. "What do you want?"

She stroke her chin and looked up as if she was thinking hard. "A day of fun."

"Eh?" Really intelligent answer Kaito...

"That's right. You can bring anyone you want. Friends, family, doesn't matter. As long as I have fun for a whole day."

Kaito blinked. That was what she wanted? Was she...maybe...lonely? Is that why she's willing to help him? Aoko was usually the one to drag Akako into parties, trips and things like that. It wasn't that Akako was shy or anything (quite the opposite), she just wasn't the one to ask if she could come along. And well, after Aoko died the witch had isolated herself a bit. Not enough for others to notice, but enough for Kaito.

He smiled genuinely. "Sure." She turned around and while she walked towards a door Kaito thought he saw a faint blush on her cheeks. He followed her through the doors and down the stairs behind them. As they kept descending the air surrounding them cooled off. Even the warmth of the torches that dimly lit the way down weren't able to hide the breath he saw coming out of his mouth. Finally they reached the bottom.

Oh yeah, definitely a castle from a horror movie. What probably would have been a cellar where the first owners of the house stored away their food now looked like a dungeon. The walls were covered with shelves filled with bottles of all sizes and colours. On one side though, the shelves were used to store away old books Kaito didn't dare to touch, thinking that they would crumble if he did. In the middle of the room a big, black kettle stood on what seemed to be a fire place. A table with a chair stood besides it.

Akako walked towards the shelves on the right side of the room. She took a small wooden chest and walked back to the table. While she put on the wooden piece of furniture and opened it, Kaito looked over her shoulder. The chest was on the outside not decorated, but the inside was filled with soft cushions. A round object protected by a silk cloth lay inside it. The witch took the bundle out and carefully placed it beside the chest. She closed the latter and put it under the table.

Kaito's poker face almost slipped when she removed the silk cloth. "You know, I know you're a witch and all, but to go this far down that road is..." he said and she looked at him strangely.

"You know I can always decide not to help you. It's not like it matters to me." She said and he smile apologetically.

"No, by all means, go ahead." He gestured towards the purple crystall ball in front of the witch. Akako nodded, before putting her hands on top of the now faintly glowing object. She closed her eyes and everything went silent.

Kaito stood awkwardly on the other side of the table, not knowing what to do, for a few minutes. Suddenly the red-haired witch opened her eyes, making the magician jump a little. She gestured him to come stand beside her. He did as he was told and looked over her shoulder inside the ball when she pointed at it.

He gasped. It felt like he was being sucked inside. He wanted to yell when Akako put a hand on his arm. He looked her in the eyes, while she smiled reassuringely. That's when he noticed that their surrounding had changed. They weren't inside the cold dungeon anymore, instead they were in the shadows of an alley. Kaito almost yelped when he saw just where they were, inside a big bubble probably 15 feet above the ground.

His eyes widened when he looked at the ground. There. Just beneath them. Hoodie-san was standing in the alley just beneath them! Wait, what was he doing? The hooded figure raised his hands and grabbed his hood. Everything went in slow-motion for Kaito when Hoodie-san started pulling the hood from his head.

"No way!" Kaito said. Hoodie-san stopped, then jerked his head up slightly. His hood had gone back where it was before and if it weren't for that Kaito knew Hoodie-san was looking right at them. "Wait, did he-." He stopped when he saw the grin spreading on the mysterious guy's face. Suddenly his head started to ache and the next second he found himself back inside the dungeon. "What just happened?" He said, half yelling at the witch. She was staring emotionlessly at the crystall ball. "Koizumi-san!" the witch looked up.

"Sorry Kuroba-kun. I can't help you anymore." She said and lowered her head.

"Why not?" he asked. Worry grew when he saw she was a little paler than before.

"When you talked he heard us, after that he shut us off. Normal people can't do that."

"Shut us off?" Kaito frowned. "What do you mean?"

"It means I can't trace him anymore. Sorry."

Neither of them said anything for a moment. Kaito was the one who broke the silence. "Alright. Thank you, anyway." He turned around and started walking away. "I'll be going then."

"Kaito wait!" Kaito turned around at Akako's sudden outburst. "Listen to me very carefully, that hooded man. Be very careful with him! If he can shut me off like that then that means that he's not a normal human! Also..." She paused and Kaito saw the concern in her eyes. "There are animals surrounding you, Kaito. Beats and creatures unknown to mankind."

Kaito blinked. Unknown to mankind? "Sure, thank you, Koizumi-san." He said, smiled and walked away.

When he came home he found out that Hoodie-san had decided to visit his room while he was away. A note lay on his bed.

Come and catch me, little rose.

He plopped down on his bed and lay there thinking about what to do, while he twirled a rose, that had come with the note, in his hand. That's when the best idea yet hit him. If he can do it, why can't I! Kaito grinned, before jumping off the comfortable bed and started making preparations.

Later that night he went to bed with an peaceful and satisfied mind.

~~xXx~~

Softely he opened the window. He studied the room before jumping inside and looked at the one sleeping inside the bed.

Can't believe how peaceful he's sleeping. He stroke a finger over the sleeper's soft cheek. "Kuroba Kaito, a sleeping beauty." He chuckled then walked towards the desk. He pulled the chair back and was about to sit down when he saw what was on the chair. A little note was lying there.

He looked back to the sleeping teen, then back to the note. Quickely putting a hand over his mouth to stop himself from laughing out loud, he took the note and read it.

Dear Hoodie-san.

I think you like me, seeing as you leave those nice notes after you sneek into my bedroom at night. Now, I'd love to meet you. Awake. So, if you're interested, I'll be waiting on the rooftop of Ekoda High this Friday at 21.00.

Yours truly, Kuroba Kaito.

Another laughter was stopped by the hand on his mouth. "This Friday, on the rooftop of Ekoda High, huh? This should be interesting." He walked towards the still sleeping magician. He stroked some bangs away and placed a soft kiss on the others forehead. "Wait for me then, my beautiful moonlid rose."

Slowely Kaito opened his eyes, knowing that someone was in his room. He jolted up, but he was too late, as the mysterious hooded figure had already disappeared leaving only the window open and a red rose in his lap.

~~xXx~~

Hope you like it^^
