XXXI: Kuroba and Hattori

---

Both pairs of Kaito and Heiji thoroughly enjoyed the utterly gobsmacked expressions on Shinichi and Saguru's faces. Both detectives were, by now, equally adept at identifying and deconstructing the various tricks that Kaitou KID utilized, and this was definitely a trick on par with that of the magician thief. But the method of execution, however…

The Kaito in Heiji's body leaned over to the other Kaito, both of them eyeing Saguru. The misplaced Kaito whispered rather loudly, "I think you broke Hakuba." The subject of their single sentence conversation was currently staring at the two pairs of duplicates with unabashed horror. His mouth was slightly open and his jaw worked soundlessly as he tried to rationalize the sight before him. Shinichi was, frankly, little better off than Saguru.

The Heiji who was himself reached out and gently pushed Shinichi's jaw shut with a click. "Don't want flies in there, do you Kudou?" he remarked, and the Kaito who was himself tittered. The misplaced Heiji chuckled at his two dumbfounded officers before he turned to regard his accomplices. "Think the prank's gone far enough?"

The second Heiji snorted. "Kudou, I don't mind letting in on the secret, but Hakuba should deal with it for a bit longer."

The second Kaito frowned at his companion. "Don't be mean, Hattori," he chided. "He already looks enough like an idiot as it is."

The comment seemed to snap Saguru out of his daze and he huffed. "It's bad enough that there's one Kuroba and Hattori already. I really do not need a second one of each."

Kaito in Heiji's body sighed with a grin. "Fine, no need to break both their brains more than they already have today—and it's not even ten yet!" He eyed the small crowd that had gathered to observe, noting how they all stared in complete bafflement. He smirked, eager to see everyone's reactions. "I'm calling the end of the prank. Disguises off."

Author's Note: So final guesses as to who our dual Kaitos and Heijis are? I'm itching to reveal, and I think you will all be quite surprised. I hope you enjoyed it.
