Kid gently put the kitten down beside him and started to go through Conan's pants pockets. He found the two cell phones and took out the batteries. The last thing the thief needed tonight was for the police to trace the phones. Kid folded the clothing; putting the bow on top. He put the child's glasses inside the breast pocket of his jacket. Kid knew he needed a plan for the kitten. He thought about leaving it for someone to find. No, he couldn't do that. Conan could freeze before anyone found him. Plus, if the police did find him he could wind up in the pound… Or worse. He also didn't want the young detective to be alone when he woke up. The only option Kid could see was talking the young detective back to his house. It was risky, but he would feel guilty leaving him to fend for himself. Since he felt it was his own fault somehow that Conan was in this mess. Kid got up and quickly changed into street clothes for the long walk home.

He scooped up the kitten and left the roof via the fire escape. While he walked down the street, Kaito could feel the small creature press against his chest. He felt a huge wave of anxiety course through his body. How is he going to explain this to the detective? This was way out of the thief's league. When the two reached the house Kaito quickly walked through the front door.

He quickly took his shoes off and set the kitten on the couch. With the small kitten still not showing any signs of waking, Kaito walked to the kitchen and got a can of soda from the fridge. He let out a sigh of tension as he opened the can and took a few sips. He was going to have to think of a plan fast if Conan was going to stay here. He looked at this watch and saw it was getting to be 1:00am. The thief let out a heavy sigh and laid his head against the wall. Of all the things the witch has tried to do to him in the past year this was the most dramatic by far. Kaito walked back to the living room and finished his drink while watching the kitten sleeping on the couch. After finishing, the young magician scooped up the kitten and sat on the couch. He started to lightly pet the young detective across the back. 'This is going to be really awkward when He wakes up.' Kaito mused to himself. He thought about how surprisingly cute and peaceful the Kid killer looks when he's incapacitated. That's when a terrible thought crept into his mind. 'Was Conan a real kitten? Did he ever remember being a human?' This thought terrified him. Even though that would solve a lot of problems for him, it wouldn't be fair for Shinichi. He had already had to deal with so much crap already. To lose everything like that would be devastating. No one deserved that.

Kaito sighed and looked down at the ball of fluff.

"So my little Tantei neko, what do we do now?"

"Merp." The kitten replied. Kaito's heart skipped a few beats as he watched an eye crack open and slowly slide to focus on the teen.

"Shinichi!? Can you hear me? Please be alright." The magician pleaded. The kitten's eye slid back closed and Kaito carefully shook the kitten. It was a little rougher than he intended, but the thief was on the borderline of panic.

"Come on! Don't do this to me Shinichi!" Hearing his true name the kitten's eyes snapped opened and started looking around frantically. There was a hint of anger on the cat's features. Though Kaito had to admit that it looked more cute then menacing . The kitten suddenly froze, staring at Kaito's stomach. Slowly his head rose until his eyes locked onto the other teen's. Kaito noticed that Conan's eyes were the same colour as when he was human. However instead of normal, the pupils were slits like a cat's.

"Hey Kudo are you alright?" Shinichi responded by turning and hightailing it off of the giant's lap. The small kitten made to the edge of the couch before Kaito grabbed one of his back legs, pulling Tantei kun back to the center of the sofa. The kitten spat and hissed for all his worth, trying desperately to break free of The thief's grasp.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going?" The kitten answered by twisting around and chomping down on Kaito's hand. Kaito let out a short scream and instantly let the small kitten go. He now had a perfect semi-circle mark on his hand oozing blood.

"That wasn't nice." He said wincing in pain. He took out a white handkerchief and started to apply pressure to the bite as he sat cross legged on the floor. Shinichi jumps off the couch and looked around the living room.

"You know, your starting to make me wish I left you up on the roof tonight." The kitten made no sound but continued to stare intently at Kaito. The thief smiled and looked down at the blood soaked cloth. With a flick of his wrist the blood on the cloth disappeared, leaving it as white as before. He again compressed it against the wound.

"So…" Kaito paused. What exactly do you say to your nemesis that had been transformed into a cat? "Can… Can you understand me Kudo?"

"Mrrrroooowwww!" The cat yowled. "Meow?" "Merp."

"Oh this is perfect." Kaito cried exasperated. He began stomping back and forth. "That bitch has really done it done it this time. And, now I've got one of the best detectives in Tokyo in my living room." He sat down while rubbing his tired face with a hand.

Kudo was looking up at the giant before him. His body felt so different. He had tried to ask what was going on. However, it seemed that he wasn't even able to talk any longer. He wanted answers and he wanted them now!

"Hsssssssss." The little creature spat. He had his back to the wall, furthest from the strange teen.

"I am so sorry Kudo." Kaito said softly. Kudo stared at him intently. "I know this girl, and her favorite pastime is making my life as miserable as possible. The truth is… she's a witch." Kaito looked down to a very wide eyed kitten looking back up at him. Suddenly the thief stood up, Kaito stretched and started walking towards the stairs. Shinichi watched in awe as the giant walked past him.

"I'm going to bed." Kaito paused for a second. "And Tantei Kun, your welcome to stay for as long as you need to." With that there was a click, and the room was cloaked in darkness.

Shinichi listened carefully as he heard the strange teen walk to a room upstairs and shut his door. Slowly, the detective walked to the sliding door that lead out to the backyard. He sat so he could see his reflection in the glass. The kitten staring back at him looked back at him wide eyed. 'Is that me?' He thought. The detective felt his reality crumble around him. The kitten moved when he did. 'This isn't possible. I cant be a cat. This isn't real.' Shinichi looked down at his own paws. The detective felt his stomach drop. It was real, all of it. 'I am a cat. And, now I'm at some weird teen's place. No, not some weird guys place. The tricks and the "Tantei Kun" name calling. That's has to be Kid." The kitten looked up the stairs where the teen disappeared. Suddenly his eyes widened in realization. 'That's kid?!'

Kaito laid wide awake in bed. He knew that the best thing he could do right now was to give the man err, cat his space. Although he wished he could just do more. Oh crap! The teen shot up and quickly got out of bed. He had forgotten to get a blanket for his guest. He grabbed a blanket out of the closet, and creeped down the stairs.

He found Kudo curled up in a corner of the room. Kaito creeped up and was about to lay the blanket overtop. Suddenly, the kitten shot up and hissed at Kudo.

"Whoa easy there." Kaito backed up to give it some space. "I just thought you might be cold." The kitten didn't give him an inch as it started to swat at the blanket. "Forget it. I'll just leave this here." Kaito sighed and walked over to the couch and laid the blanket down. "Sorry to bother you." Slowly he turned towards the stairs. As he made it to the bottom he suddenly felt a tugging on a pajama pant leg. He looked down and to his surprise it was the kitten. Slowly the large teen squatted down on his haunches. Kudo backed up and then did something that surprised the other boy. Kudo lowered his head in a low bow. This caused a smile to spread on Kaito's tired face.

"Are you thanking me?" The kitten nodded. Kaito relaxed a little. "Don't mention it Tantei Kun. Is there anything I can get you before I turn in for the night?" The cat shook his head and walked toward the couch. The teen watched as the small kitten hesitate, before clambering onto the sofa. Kaito walked over and slid the blanket overtop.

"Fine?" he asked. Tantei Kun purred letting Kaito know he was good. The very tired thief walked up to the stairs up towards his own bed.
