Chapter 41: I'm a Top Magician
Just to let you all know, I'm making the prison up as I go along. I know there was one picture of it when Iris went to get Ghost out, but I'm changing it slightly. Hope you don't mind.
This chapter is supposed to be both silly and serious, since we need a break from all of the serious things we've gone through recently. So take this chapter with a pinch of salt (a very large one).
He had finally made it to the Vindice Prison. After god knows how many days- you lose a sense of time when all you saw was the dark cloud filled sky and falling snow- he was one step closer to finding Shinichi once again. Although 'finding' wasn't exactly the right term since he had known where Shinichi was the whole time. Maybe 'reclaiming' was better? But that made him sound like one of his jewels… so yeah, reclaiming was the best term. The clearing he was in now was strangely calm. The snow had stopped falling and everything seemed brighter. The only sounds to be heard was his breathing and movements along with the flickering of the black flames placed on either side of the huge wooden gate. Although even if they were black flames, they were not Shinichi's Black Flames, since for starters there was none of the white sparkle, and secondly it didn't give him that empty feeling when he pointed his lit ring at it. He got this empty feeling whenever he tried to use his Moon:Mirror on Shinichi. He'd tried it a few times just to see if it would ever work and it never had. Kaito supposed Gokudera's theory that Black Light could not be made since it was the absence of light was true, and the 'absence of light' bit was the cause of his empty feeling. If he had had to take a guess, he'd say there were chemical compounds changing the colour instead.
He takes a few steps forwards towards the gate. He knew it was no use in hiding, the Vindice would know he had beaten their illusionist most likely. The feeling of eyes on him from the moment he had defeated the illusionist was also another big clue. Yet he still stayed within the shade of the trees in case he was wrong. He took a good look at the gate in front of him. The large wooden gate was covered in metal bars for extra strength. There appeared to be some kind of bared up windows in the sides of the cliff face. He could feel the watcher's eyes from these windows, yet they were too black for him to be able to see them in return. Years of being KID had honed his sense of being watched, so he knew it even if he couldn't see them. His head whips to the left and up, eyes quickly scanning the windows there as he feels a very familiar gaze upon him. Tantei-kun's.
"Master~ It seems that we have arrived"
Hmm, Kaito didn't recognise that voice.
"I can see that Flan"
But he did recognise that voice.
"I don't think you can when you aren't even looking in that direction." Says the first voice, it's tone remaining unchanged. "Ow, Master, just because your eyes aren't working is no reason to go after mine."
"I can't believe we're back here again, byon. I thought we'd never have to see this place again." He knew that voice too. Only one person he knew went 'byon'.
"Indeed, how troublesome"
Four figures step out of the trees from the opposite side of the clearing to him. Kaito feels Shinichi's gaze leave him, most likely to look at them (and indeed Mukuro looks up to where He had) before he feels Shinichi's gaze come back to him and then abruptly disappear.
Kaito stays hidden as he watches the Kokuyo Gang talk about their next plans. Kaito should have known that they would come and find Shinichi too. They were rather attached to the detective and had even known him during their childhood. It made sense. However he suspected something was going to be off with their reasoning. The things Mukuro had said when trying to persuade Shinichi to stay just hadn't sat right with Kaito. He needed to know if they were still Mukuro's intentions or not.
"So do you think Shini-chan really is here?" asks Ken, looking up at the Prison, his legs shaking slightly.
"Of course. The Vindice would keep him in their most secure place- their Prison. But he's not going to stay there for very long"
"We're going to get him back, right Mukuro-sama?" asks Ken with hope in his voice. He knew how hard this task was going to be. This was the Vindice they are going against after all, and they are very tough opponents. So a little bit of reassurance would be rather helpful right now. If Mukuro-sama says he can do it, then he can.
"Kufufufu~ We shall Ken. I am not letting My precious Shinichi stay there any longer. He will be coming back to our house, not to the Vongola's side. I'm sure that Shinichi would help us with our cause once he knows about it."
"Yeah Yeah! He hates killing too, so he would join us!" bounces Ken, tongue lolling out to the side.
Mukuro smiles a rather dangerous smile before laughing sinisterly "Kufufufu~ He shall, I can be rather…" he spins his trident around before resting the spokes against his cheek "Persuasive if I need to be"
"Oh, it's you" Kaito jumps as a voice sounds from right next to him. He hadn't heard anyone come close to him. Spinning around he finds the unknown member of the Gang a step away from him, looking at him intently.
"And who are you?" the boy asks. He has this ridiculous Snowman hat on, and upon closer inspection, it seems to be covered in spots of blood. They must have encountered their own illusionist then, reasons Kaito.
"It's common courtesy to introduce yourself first." informs Kaito. The boy in front blinks at him.
"Oy, Flan, where've you gone? We need you to save Shini-chan, byon" shouts Ken, coming closer to their position.
"I'm just talking to Nobody" the boy shouts back.
"Nobody? You can't be talking to Nobody, you idiot"
"Only an idiot would say that, furball" The boy tugs on Kaito's arm and pulls him out into the open, in front of the Kokuyo Gang.
"Oya, who have you got their Flan?" Asks Mukuro condescendingly. He knew exactly who Flan had with him, nor was he surprised to find him here.
"This is Nobody" says Flan, staring at Ken to prove he really was talking to nobody.
"That's not Nobody. That's Kaito, Shini-chan's friend and a magi-" Ken is quickly stopped by Chikusa's hand over his mouth.
"Oya? Here to take Shinichi back from the Vindice too? You should just go back to Vongola, we won't be needing your assistance." Suggests Mukuro, smiling and chin raised.
"No actually I'm not. I'm here to stay with Shinichi. You shouldn't try to take him back." Replies Kaito, eyes turning serious. It was like he thought, he needed to keep Shinichi away from Mukuro.
"Kufufu~ How silly. We're going to take Shinichi out of there, it's what's best for him" Mukuro says, eyes glinting with annoyance. As far as he could see there was nothing Shinichi could learn from the Vindice. Maybe how to torture someone, the best way to keep them locked up, but that was it.
"No, it's not." Growls Kaito. They obviously didn't know Shinichi very well if they couldn't see that. He knew Mukuro's aims were selfish.
"Well, if you're not going to help us, then you are an obstacle. And obstacles are removed. Flan, deal with him. We don't have much time to waste" orders Mukuro, waving a hand dismissively in Kaito's direction.
"Why is it always me? Master, maybe you are becoming weak in your old age?" sighs Flan, in that monotone way of his. Flan is rewarded once again by a trident adorning his hat. Mukuro motivates Flan further by kicking Flan's backside to make him take a step forwards and to also remove the trident at the same time.
"Hmm, it's not really my style to hurt little kids. Maybe you'd leave if I gave you a lollipop?" Kaito smiles sweetly before clicking his fingers and presenting a very large rainbow swirly lollipop. Flan walks over and takes the lollipop before smacking Kaito on the head with it.
"Master said I shouldn't take food from Strangers" reasons Flan.
"hmm, but I'm no stranger, your Master knows me. So how about a teddy bear instead? No, a toy car?" Kaito clicks and each object he names appears in his hand. Flan seems to ignore them all. "Okay then, how about tickets to my Magic Stage show, I can get you front row seats and let you play my assistant." Most little kids would jump at the chance to get on stage at a magic show.
"Magic show?" asks Flan, tilting his head.
Kaito vaguely sees Ken and Chikusa having a panic attack from the corner of his eyes, but Mukuro stops them from coming forwards with an outstretched arm and a very malicious grin on his face.
"Of course. I'm a Magician working for the V.F Corporation. Soon to be the world's best Magician"
Flan hides his eyes under his hat in what Kaito hopes is contained joy or excitement. However Ken and Chikusa's face palms don't seem to agree with his theory.
Ken slowly backs away, dragging Chikusa with him. "Oh God. You've done it now. You've pressed Flan's button, Byon! C'mon Chikusa run for your life!" and both go and hide behind some trees.
"Huh? I haven't done anything yet" comments Kaito
"Well, you see, Flan has a bit of an inferiority complex. First of all, he's always being compared to Mammon- the Varia don't help by forcing him to wear the frog hat. And now he's up against you, the World's Greatest Magician and Flan is quite proud of his magic skills. Most of the Varia have such a switch, the most obvious is Bel when it comes to his own blood. And You, Phantom Thief have just pressed Flan's. All I can say is Good Luck, and try to stay sane. My dear Shinichi wouldn't like it if I let you become broken." Smirks Mukuro, not moving an inch, and leaning against his trident in a rather relaxed manor.
Flan claps his hands and pulls them apart slowly to reveal a long black stick, which turns out to be a magician's wand. He taps the wand against his sleeve and a bouquet of flowers slide out and into his palm. He presents the bouquet to Kaito, who smiles before water shoots out of the centre flower and nearly squirts Kaito in the face if he hadn't stepped backwards in time.
Kaito raises an eyebrow before grinning and laughing. "Oh? So this is how you want to play? Fine"
"Oy, Magician. Don't you want to defend your title?"
"Of course I do! No one can beat me when it comes to magic!" sings the Magician. Kaito could tell the Magician was happy since juggling balls were bouncing around the place, confetti was flying through the air and the colour of the walls kept on changing. "You are going to let me right. Please Kaito, pleeaassee~"
Kaito chuckles at the Magician before walking over to him. Once close enough both grin at each other before he spins on his heels. Falling backwards, they recite the transfer phrase.
"Let the Magic Begin"
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, welcome to the Magic Showdown of the Century!" presents Magician, arms spread wide.
Holding the corner of his cape, (all of the clothes keeping him warm were under the suit with the exception of the gloves and scarf) he brings it across his body before fanning it out. As the cape unfurls, lots of confetti flies into the air and over Flan. Flan doesn't move but does look up at it to watch it fall over him. Only too late does he realise that the confetti has fallen in such a way as to tie him up and constrict his movements. Moving his wrist, Flan uses the wand to remove some of the confetti streamers off of him. He scrunches them up in his fist before breathing into his fist. He opens his palm and flicks his wrist and the streamer unrolls from his fist towards the Magician. However this streamer is on fire. Magician side steps the flaming streamer yet it still scorches the bottom of the white Blazer. Magician scoops his hat off of his head and uses it to collect the flaming streamer. With it all collected, he brings the hat up to his chest and waves his hand over it a few times. Ken and Chikusa half expected a rabbit to jump out of the hat next however Magician simply puts the hat back on. He doesn't show any signs of being burnt. He taps the top of his hat before puffing out his cheeks. Next he breaths out a stream of fire, similar in intensity and size to that of a professional Fire Breather at the Circus. Flan can't move because of the confetti streamers tying his feet together. So instead he taps a trouser pocket with the wand and chucks a fist full of sand into the air. Sand and fire meet and suddenly there are crystal shards falling to the ground instead, (Ken and Chikusa wonder how that works since surely the fire wasn't strong enough to melt the sand). Flan spins his wand in his fingers and the shards fly towards Magician as if blown by the wind. He uses that moment of flying to rip the streamers from his feet. Magician watches the rather sharp shards fly towards him. With a clap of his hands, they all disappear in a cloud of smoke, only to reappear above Flan. To keep Flan focused on him, he brings out a pack of cards and throws them into the air, where they start to float. With a click of his fingers the cards fly towards Flan in a rather regimental order. Flan leans backwards and places his hands into the snow to perform a backwards arch. The cards fly over him, however his whole body is peppered by the falling glass shards instead, causing a few drips of blood.
"Heeheehee, Round 1 to me!" sings Magician, taking his hat off and bowing towards Flan.
Flan stands up and pulls the glass shards from his front. It didn't really affect him- Belphegor's knives did a lot more damage anyway. It wasn't like he could feel the pain either. "So the Child molesting Magician does have some skills after all" says Flan, brushing off the last of the glass shards.
"C-Child molesting, where did that come from?" asks Magician, rather offended.
"Well, you offered me sweets and toys, that's what child molesters do to their victims before snatching them away." Replies Flan rather simply. "Anyway, my turn"
Magician nods and spins his wrist a few times in a 'the floor is all yours' kind of gesture.
Flan takes his wand and taps it against his hat. It squeaks, rather like a chew dog toy, before a miniature snowman pops out. Flan catches it in his other hand before repeating the process a few more times. Each time a different snow sculpture pops out, covering a range of animals and objects. This of course made it harder to juggle them since they were different shapes and sizes. Flan catches each one in his other hand and continues to juggle them. He stops tapping his hat and put his wand in his boot for easy access. He starts to juggle them with both hands whilst walking closer to Magician. They stand about 3 metres apart and Flan starts to throw the items at Magician whilst juggling the rest in his hands. Magician catches them and starts to juggle them, whilst every now and again adding in his own objects. These are all black balls filled with sand. However the tricky thing is that each one weighs a different amount. With them all being black it is harder to track which ball weighs the most or least. Soon the objects are jumping between the pair faster and faster and in more elaborate patterns each time. Kaito drops one of his black balls and then kicks it high into the air. After throwing a few more objects Flan catches this ball too, only to throw it a lot faster and harder than before at Magician. This time, Magician throws the ball purposely low, causing Flan to have to bend down to reach it. He does, quite easily before clapping his hands when his objects are in the air. Suddenly, each one of Flan's original Snow sculpture toys grows spikes and looks like a hedgehog. Magician, not expecting this, nearly drops one but kicks it back it into the circle again. He now has to be careful not to cut himself on the spikes. Flan doesn't look the least bit bothered by his new addition, and just carries on as normal. Magician grins widely before grabbing one of his own black juggling balls. In the short space of time between grabbing that ball and having to grab the next one, Magician throws it against a tree near by. It rebounds and goes straight for Flan. Magician continues to do this with his objects whilst still sending Flan's white sculptures back the normal way. Flan's eyes keep flicking between the two sets of objects, although Kaito still can't see any sign of apprehension on Flan's face. In fact he hasn't seen any emotion run across Flan's face at all. But if he looks carefully, extremely carefully, he thinks he can see a shine in Flan's eyes showing Flan is having fun. Being the great reader of people he is, he's sure of it. Magician clicks his fingers and all of his black balls change colour in puffs of smoke and become blue. Flan warily caches the next ball and finds nothing is different. Magician does this a few time and the juggling balls keep changing colour; from blue to green to red to purple. Finally, in the last cloud of smoke, the balls change to white. Flan just assumes it's another colour change, but he's wrong. This time, Magician had changed what was inside the coloured balls to a liquid. So this time, when Flan grabbed the ball, instead of something solid, it was something squishy. Shocked, he failed to grab the ball correctly and it rolled out of his hand. He goes to kick it back up, but Magician had already thrown the next ball at him. If he went to kick it, he'd be off balance and wouldn't be able to catch the next ball. So in defeat, Flan lets the ball fall to the floor.
"Ahh~ Bad Luck there Flan. That was a good try though." Consoles Magician.
"I wouldn't worry Flan, it's just another 2 times to add to the Hell ring" says Mukuro proudly. Flan nods and takes a look at his Hell ring: 666 Ring of the Beast. A ring that is said to bring misfortune to the wearer 666 times before something good happens to them. Flan couldn't care less about good luck and bad luck, and as a result was one of the few willing wearers of the ring.
Flan once again hides his face in the shadow of his hat. "I think play time is over" he whispers. "Why should someone like us care for silly smoke and mirrors that any fool can do when we can do this?"
The world around Magician suddenly goes red; the snow, the trees, everything accept Flan, him and Mukuro. Kaito takes back control and opens his eyes to see Flan's Varia ring lit indigo and a red box sat in his other hand. The box looks like a Jack-in-the-box, but instead of 'Jack' it was Bel. Therefore it was a Bel-in-the-box Box Weapon.
The Box Weapon starts to sing out a tune, sound like a music box with gentle chimes.
"Geez Guys, there's no need to be fighting here" Says Shinichi. Kaito turns in his direction to find Shinichi surrounded by a patch of normal colour rather than the red. That was understandable since his flames would ignore the illusion.
Flan gives out the strangest monotone laugh "Ha ha ha. Real or an illusion?" he asks, turning to include his Master in that question. Seeing Mukuro's expression (both fell for it and thought for a moment it truly was Shinichi) he laughs once more. "Ku fu fu. Deceiving pleasant feelings like that, using power like it's a habit, since I'm a Top Magician, I can fool around freely, do as I wish. There's no one who can stop me." With a Shishishi~ from the Box Weapon, Shinichi disappears into the mist. "Being honest in our world leads to an instant death, playing with others allows you to live. Cool down the fever, concentrate and then let's rampage, get rid of anyone in our path. Here it's kill or be killed- the law of the jungle. Petty magic tricks won't work."
"Kufufu~ You should have let Flan win, Magician. Now you're going to see why Flan is my Student. And remember my advice, you'd better stay sane." Mukuro laughs smugly, obviously having seen Flan like this before. Flan was His, Flan was the Varia's, between them, they had created quite the soldier.
In a cloud of indigo mist Flan disappears from Kaito's sight. He hears a Shishishi~ from behind him before replicas of Belphegor's knives fly at him. He knew what Bel's knives looked like since he'd watched the Varia Ring battles and also seen the one Bel had left behind in the mansion earlier in the week. Just as he lands, there is another laugh followed by knives from his left. Kaito spins away from these only to be face to face with another batch of them. He jumps over these and uses his landing to flip over the next lot coming from a different direction. Soon all he could hear was Belphegor's creepy laugh.
"The deep crimson forest is my Wonderland." Comes the voice from all around him. Kaito can't pinpoint it's origin.
"Kufufu~ You know Flan's serious when the world goes red, a habit I think he's gotten off the Fake Prince." Mukuro supplies unhelpfully.
Looking to his right he catches sight of Flan poking his head out from behind a tree, so Kaito shoots one of his cards in that direction. However he misses, only to find Flan poking his head out from behind a different tree. He shoots once more, but misses again.
"Hey, it's over here, and there too. C'mon and stop missing, or is your aim that bad. Maybe you need some glasses? Since it's full of me, how can you miss?" Flan asks, voice still as flat as normal, which is actually rather creepy when added to the red world Kaito was stuck in. Kaito stops moving and closes his eyes, trying to find Flan through sound. "Ahh, come on and play here with me in My Wonderland, you can't give up now. Which one is the real one? Try to find out with your life"
Too late does Kaito hear the knives flying through the air and they slice into his arm, drawing blood. Another one gets stuck in his shoulder. Kaito hisses in pain and grabs the shoulder, applying pressure to slow the bleeding.
"Ohh~ Severe?" Flan asks, hanging upside down from a tree. Kaito growls at him and shoots at Flan, having had enough of the game. When that doesn't work, he picks up some of the knives laying around the clearing and throws them instead. Amazingly, a few of them hit and stay stuck in the boy's back.
"Got to aim to hurt My Civilian Persona. Even if it is a child. He's going to kill you if you don't." warns Hunter, the one who had forced Kaito's body to truly attack Flan back.
"Irrational now are we? Blood loss will do that to you, you know." Chides Flan, sitting cross legged on the floor in front of him. Kaito shoots another card at him, but Flan laughs once more and lets it hit the Bel Box instead. "Agitate the simple Senior, so easy to do, you should have a better grip on your emotions. Like me. I have mine all tightly under control"
Mukuro makes a noise that in a lesser man would be a snort. "Flan, you don't have any emotions to keep under control" Flan shrugs his shoulders, not making a comment. Kaito chucks some more knives at Flan whilst the boy is facing Mukuro. Mukuro doesn't even warn Flan of the incoming attack and as a result, these ones lodge in his back too.
"I'm a Top Magician, so muddle around freely in the world I created." Flan takes the opportunity in the moment Kaito looks at Mukuro to silently ask if what he had just said was true, to attack him with more knives. "If you're absentminded, it will end." The laugh of the box weapon had given the attack away and Kaito had just enough time to dodge, kicking the last of the knives away from him. He sighs at the close call. "Hmm, Don't feel relieved," Kaito looks to his left and up, to where he thought the voice was coming from. "Let's get confused" is whispered into his right ear. Kaito kicks backwards hoping to connect with Flan, but as he half guessed, he missed.
How I hate fighting illusionists. They just play with you, emotionally and physically. First it was Chrome using an illusion of my Dad and now this one fooling me with Shinichi. Illusionists are truly dangerous.
Kaito grunts in pain as the knife in his shoulder is harshly tugged out, causing blood to stain the snow around them crimson.
"Shi Shi Shi. The sticky blood forest is My Wonderland. I'm the ruler here and no one will best me. Especially a halfwit Magician like you. Magicians are kings of Illusions yet you are being bested by mine. So I'm the Top Magician not you."
Kaito carefully looks around him, trying to stop the boy once more, only half listening to whatever insults the boy is sprouting now. Mukuro's suggestion that Flan had Inferiority Complex seemed to ring true. The boy was only using insults to defend himself. He finally catches sight of the snowman hat and his eyes flicker around the clearing trying to keep a fix on it.
"Ha ha ha. Hey, catch up with the back filled with silver knives. Let's play in My Wonderland." Kaito blinks and suddenly there are lots of Flan's surrounding him. Obviously the majority of them would be illusions. Very good ones if Mukuro's smirk and wandering eyes was any indication. Seeing Kaito's analytical look they all lean forwards. "The Real one? Try to find out with your life"
Kaito swaps out the ammo in his card gun and shoots a glowing red card into the air, looking down at the snow to save himself. The Storm Flame Infused Card explodes, blinding the others in the clearing before shrapnel goes flying. Opening his eyes once more Kaito sees only one with blood dripping down their arm.
"Got you" he sings before shooting a glowing green card at Flan. The card hits and the boy jerks from the electric pulse released. The illusionary Flans disappear as the real one lose concentration on them.
When the card stops shocking the boy, he looks up and asks "So, who will be the survivor?"
"I'm not going to kill you. But if I win, I want you to leave here and not go after Shinichi." says Kaito diplomatically
Flan shrugs his shoulders once more before chucking a thumb over his shoulder. "You'd have to ask the sadistic child beater over there"
"Kufufu~ Flan, you'd better win or we'll be having Carrot Flan for dessert tonight"
"Ha ha very funny Master, just because Snowmen have carrot noses."
"It won't matter since I'm not going to lose." Announces Kaito, shutting the pair up before they can get into a verbal battle. He points his ring at Flan, his Moon Flame quickly changing to Mist Indigo. "Moon:Mirror"
Kaito actually wondered what weapon would result from this. His Moon:Mirror didn't copy Box Weapon Abilities. Snatching two cards from his pocket he is surprised when they change into a Frog Hat. It fit quite nicely over his top hat. Another card turns into a replica of Flan's Magician Wand from earlier. Both have Kaito's Moon Clam symbol on them.
"Oya, that's Flan's Varia Hat" informs Mukuro, smirking at the scene. Big hats certainly made for a funny battle.
Kaito taps his hat and a little Belphegor Snow Sculpture comes out. He taps it with the wand again and the spikes from earlier reappear. Raising an eyebrow, Kaito turns and throws the toy at Flan, who can be still seen due to the blood dripping in the snow. Amazingly it hits. He taps the hat once more and 5 of Bel's knives come out. However these knives are all bent at a right angle. They are still useable and end up in Flan's chest. Another tap and an… umbrella of all things appear.
"Perverted Thunder Old Man" Flan whispers, taking the umbrella and throwing it over his shoulder and out of range for either of them. Kaito uses their closeness to aim a punch at Flan, who ducks, causing Kaito to smack the snowman hat. Kaito hisses and pulls his knuckles back when he hits something metal inside. When Flan counter attacks with more of Box Bel's Knives, Kaito ducks under them and the hat takes the damage. Amazingly, it seems like the hat absorbs the knives instead of ripping like it should. Actually, it seems to absorb some of Flan's flames too if the indigo trail connecting the two says anything.
Kaito taps his sleeve with the wand, and the trick he had stored there- in this case a blue rose (never knew when there would be a lady to meet)- flies into his hand. Taping a different part of his arm and this time the smoke bomb stored there suddenly appears in his hand. It seems Flan's weapons really were suited to a Magician.
"Analysis Complete" says Kaito in a mechanical voice. That causes Flan to pause for a moment, in which Kaito throws the smoke bomb to the ground. Whilst Flan can't see anything Kaito shoots a Rain Card at Fran and the boy falls to the ground asleep, exuding very loud snores.
"There, I've won. Now go and leave Shinichi alone. He doesn't need you here to drag him back to Vongola. He needs to stay here" orders Kaito to Mukuro. Ken and Chikusa, realising the world is no longer red, creep over and drag Flan out of the battle zone.
"Kufufu~ I never agreed to that." Mukuro smiles.
"Do I have to knock some sense into you too?" asks Kaito. He'd rather not, but if it was for Shinichi…
"Enough" Everyone freezes at the power in that voice and the suddenly deathly scary aura being admitted. Slowly Kaito and Mukuro turn their heads to see a Vindice officer standing in front of the Gate. "State your purpose here"
Kaito turns to the Office and makes the best bow he can without giving away his shaking legs. "I am Kuroba Kaito, Vongola Decimo's Moon Guardian. I have come here to accompany Kudo Shinichi, Vongola Decimo's Star Guardian, on his stay here at the Vendicare."
"Hn, I do not need to state my intentions. Tell Kudo Shinichi he has visitors." Mukuro replies, glaring at the Vindice Officer.
"Request Denied" Says the Mafia Jailer.
"Huh? On what grounds?" asks Kaito.
"Question Acknowledged. Answer: Kudo Shinichi, Vongola Decimo's Guardian of the Star is not currently at the Vendicare European Water Prison"
Lol, poor guys coming all this way and not finding him. Thanks to RHK for helping with the idea.
It was weird to do Flan in this one since I don't remember him actually fighting anyone in the future. He kind of just followed and annoyed Bel the whole time. Plus a Plot Bunny attacked when I had been singing 'I'm a top Magician' around the house for the past week. I quite like Flan's character song actually. And what better than a Magician battle. I think I've made Flan rather Psycho but then again, he is in the Varia and constantly around Bel and Mukuro, not the best influences in the world. You kind of feel sorry for him.
Next time we're back to our detective!
See you later
