VIII: Hattori and Kuroba


"You're not Kudou, are you?"

Kaito looked up from his report on a break-in and turned to find Heiji staring at him with a slight frown and a raised brow. "Uh, no?" he replied, voice rising in question.

Heiji bent forwards, leaning in until his nose was a centimeter away from Kaito's, who was sitting at his desk in Division Three. "You look so much alike it's not even funny, Kuroba," the Osakan muttered. Kaito twitched under the detective's scrutiny. Heiji straightened, a satisfied grin suddenly on his face. "At least now I can tell you apart."

"Eh?" was Kaito's extremely intelligent, if utterly befuddled reply.

"See, Kudou has slightly different colored eyes, a different bone structure to his face, and his hair grows in a different pattern to yours," Heiji answered.

Kaito could only stare. "Okay…"

"But the most important difference," Heiji claimed with an air of mischievous self-importance, "is that he is most definitely prettier than you."

It took several seconds for Kaito to process that statement, but when he did…

"EH?!" Kaito could only gape inarticulately in horror.


Author's Note: I get the feeling I'm going to have tons of fun with Heiji and Kaito… jokes and pranks all around, I think, with some obviously exaggerated reactions on Kaito's end. I hope you enjoyed it.
