"So you think Kuroba is Kaitou KID, huh?"
Saguru looked up from a report regarding a charity organization that was currently undergoing extensive fraud investigations for embezzling the money donated to the charity to find Shinichi standing by his desk, hands in his pockets. "Yes," he answered slowly, wondering what the homicide detective was doing on his floor.
Shinichi grinned. "Let's go grab lunch. I'd like to hear your theories."
The half-Briton blinked before he chuckled and agreed. He stowed his papers neatly on his desk and logged out of his computer. "Where to?" he queried, rising from his chair after detaching his phone from the charging cable.
"I was thinking Luxiere's. They have good sandwiches and pastries," Shinichi said as he fell in step with his fellow Sherlock Holmes fan and they stepped out of police headquarters. They enjoyed lunch, discussing Saguru's theories regarding why Kuroba Kaito was Kaitou KID—Shinichi neither confirmed nor denied any of Saguru's ideas—and in general let his fellow detective rant about the prankster policeman. After Saguru had finished his diatribe, the two went on to discuss the original Sherlock Holmes series along with its various adaptations into movies and television. They even ventured into the realm of published spinoffs, spoofs, and fanfiction.
It was on the way back to police headquarters when a scream split the air. Shinichi groaned as he spun on his heel and ran, Saguru a step behind him. "You know," Saguru panted as he dodged pedestrians behind the homicide detective, "I'd heard—the rumors—about you—being a—Shinigami—but this—is ridiculous."
"Welcome to my life," Shinichi grumbled as he slid to a halt before a cluster of onlookers, pulling out his badge and shouldering through the throng of people.
Author's Note: Back from a much-needed vacation, and now to get my brain back on track. Saguru's witnessed Shinichi's curse for the first time, and I'm sure it won't be the last either. At least they got to finish eating lunch, unlike Heiji. I hope you enjoyed it.
