XI: Kuroba and Hakuba
Less than an hour before the start of a Kaitou KID heist found Saguru not where the heist was to be held, but rather on a stakeout outside the front door of the Kuroba home. He had received express permission from Inspector Nakamori to be absent from the heist, claiming he had pressing personal business to take care of that could not be helped. He would have much rather been inside the house had Kaito not refused him at the door.
"How many times do I have to tell you, Hakuba?!" Kaito had snapped through a facemask, for he had been feeling a little ill the past few days. "I'm not KID!" Kaito had then proceeded to slam the door in the half-Brit's face with a grumble.
Saguru had therefore kept the police radio on as he sat in his car, windows down to let in the cool evening breeze as he listened to the usual pre-heist banter between his coworkers and the barked orders from his superior.
Kaito slid a window from the second floor open, leaning out as he yelled, "Go do your job already, you creepy stalker!" before he snapped the window shut once more.
As the time for the heist drew near, Saguru settled in to watch the Kuroba household carefully. There was no way for Kaito to make it to the heist on time if he left now.
A second before the heist time, there was an explosion on the radio, and Saguru snatched it up, listening intently to the coughing of his coworkers, the snarled curses of Nakamori, and the pleased laughter of…
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" The utterly thrilled voice of Kaitou KID came ringing through the radio, and Saguru nearly gave himself whiplash as he spotted Kaito through the downstairs living room window with the television on and watching the heist with avid interest.
The bloody hell is going on?! Starting the engine, Saguru floored the pedal as he sped off to the heist location in Minato.
Inside the living room, Aoko chuckled as she pulled off the silicone mask molded after Kaito's face and the voice-changing sickness mask, continuing to watch her husband's antics on the television. "You owe me big time, Bakaito," she murmured with a soft grin as Kaitou KID flipped nimbly over her father. "Just please don't give Otou-san a heart attack…"
Author's Note: Ah, poor, confused Saguru. I think his brain just imploded. Aoko here knows why Kaito is KID and has obviously accepted that he has a mission to fulfill, hence her willingness to help him in a pinch. I think in his next appearance I need to let Saguru one up someone—he's always gotten the short end of the stick so far… but he's just so much fun to mess with! I hope you enjoyed it.
