Detective Conan and Magic Kaito characters, settings, and ideas do not belong to me but to Aoyama Gōshō.

"You know, sometimes I wonder what goes through that head of yours," came a voice behind him.
Kaito blinked, glancing up from his paperwork. He swiveled in his chair to find Heiji approaching his desk. "I'd be disturbed if you somehow got in my head…?" he answered questioningly, swinging the chair around to keep the Osakan in his sights.
Heiji leaned on the edge of Kaito's desk with a chuckle as he crossed his arms over his chest. "I would too, honestly. Although…" he paused, apparently having just thought of something. He suddenly smiled widely, and Kaito eyed him back warily. "I bet Hakuba would pay money to get a peek inside that noggin of yours."
The Division Three officer shuddered and made a face. "He couldn't offer me enough money to do that." Kaito shuddered once more. "Ugh, where's the brain bleach? Thanks for that, Hattori," he groaned as he lightly banged his forehead on his desk.
"My work here is done. Anytime, Kuroba," Heiji answered cheerfully. His expression turned into something similar to a leer as he leaned closer to the other policeman to murmur, "I think Kudou's avoiding you."
The magician straightened, a reddened circular spot proof of where his head had collided with the table surface multiple times. Kaito blinked. "Have I done something wrong?" he asked with a perfectly innocent and utterly quizzical expression. It had been three days since KID's last heist, and as Kaito thought back, he really had seen neither hide nor hair of the other homicide detective.
Heiji snorted outwardly while inwardly complimenting Kaito on his superb acting skills. KID-worthy indeed. "I think you scared him witless," he remarked with a grin.
Kaito pouted. "But I haven't done anything to him!" He froze for a moment before a distinctly sinister smirk grew on his lips. "Then again… I suppose a few pranks might be in order, since he's been stealing all of KID's attention, the greedy pig," Kaito muttered.
Heiji's brow furrowed upon catching Kaito's expression and made a mental note to warn his best friend.
The Osakan jumped when Kaito, after several seconds of complete silence, burst out with a wail, "And he's not even a KID fan!"
Author's Note: Um… sucks to be Shinichi…? Do I sense the possibility of a prank war on the horizon? I hope you enjoyed it.
