Chapter 2

Ekoda, Kuroba Home:

Sumire and Kaito look at each other as they take in what they had just learned, " You'll need help. I can get started on the Polyjuice Potion immediately and I can show up as you if needed though you will need to make damn sure KID's personality does not resemble Kuroba Kaito at all. Of course, to keep up that illusion you need to change your hair style and hair color, a color change charm would do that, maybe add a few invisible runes to your school uniform so no one makes the connection. Body language will need to be changed as well. " Sumire muses out loud.

Kaito nods, she'd stayed behind as he went out and he also found out about Jii-chan, found out his father had been murdered. " You do raise some exceedingly good points. I refuse to get caught and using actual subtle magic should help that along. Runes and Potions are good foils though how do you know about the Polyjuice Potion anyhow? "

" Second Year, needed to sneak into the Slytherin Dorms. Illegally brewed it to do so. " Sumire admits.

" Do tell. "

With that Sumire tells the tale of her second year at Hogwarts, all of it, even the things she had hidden from her so called friends. " England always has been stupid about Parselmouths because of your dark idiot problem. " Kaito says, scowling. He'd gotten even more possessive and protective of her since they started dating. It had been a month since then and now they had found out about Kuroba Toichi's night job.

" At least I freed Dobby from the Malfoys and got a House Elf. Ate better that summer than any other summer even though I did learn how to pick locks and pockets by the time I was five just to survive. They hated anything that didn't fit into their view of normal. " Sumire states.

It had taken Kaito ages to break her walls down enough to get her to talk about things like that, he was still working on getting her to go to a mind healer. Thing was she barely trusted those older than her and after hearing only a fraction of what she had been through he supposed it was only natural. Adults, the generations before her had let her down all of her natural life for the most part. She tried to do the right thing in her first and second years and it had bitten her in the ass. Then they failed her the other three years, yeah, Kaito could understand why she didn't trust the older generations.

After a few more plans were tentatively made the pair ready themselves for bed, Kaito pulling her into him as she turns to head to the guest room of the Kuroba family home. He just didn't want to be alone at the moment. Sumire understood this and just settled into his arms, Kaito was basically the only one allowed to invade her personal space. Even Aoko stayed out of her personal bubble.

When morning arrives Sumire is up first and gets ready for the day before making breakfast and lunch for her and Kaito. She summons Dobby to wake the sleeping thief and has a cup of hot chocolate waiting for him. Kaito smiles, " Thanks, Sumire-chan, probably the only good thing to come out of life with your mom's sister would be learning how to cook. "

" It's basically meditative for me anymore, I only have to pay attention for new recipes until I master them. " Sumire admits to the new thief.

Cooking to her was like magic tricks to him and he had seen her prepping meals often enough. They switched which place they stayed at and she had paid to get the Kuroba family wards upgraded. Winky was called to get the rest of Kaito's uniforms taken care of with the proper runes. Sumire wrote out a quick and detailed note as to what was wanted before sending Winky off. Dobby would clean up the Kuroba home while they were at school. Thankfully there were magical places that wouldn't ask questions for what was needed for Kaito's uniforms. Sumire already had her uniforms modified properly as it was.

Aoko joins them on the walk to school, not even surprised to find Kaito had an arm absentmindedly wrapped around Sumire-chan. Aoko knew part of it was letting her fans know she was off limits the rest was because Kaito happened to be a physically affectionate guy. Sumire joins Keiko to chat for a little bit before class started. Kaito was the only one to notice the subtle signs warning of a migraine attack. Therefore when Aoko started getting on his case he was not surprised when Sumire brought out her bokken and swung it viciously at Aoko, stopping just shy of her throat, " Nakamori-san, I have a blinding migraine right now so kindly shut the bloody hell up! "

The whole class shivers at the menace in her voice, " Hai, Black-san. "Aoko says, her voice shaking, and sits back down, now she understood why Kaito had been watching Sumire, he'd seen the signs. Sumire with a migraine was terrifying because she got vicious with her pranks.

Kaito sighs, " Tonno-sensei, can I go get her some cappuccino and migraine meds otherwise I will not be held accountable for what my girlfriend does. "

The entire class throws him into the hall, Tonno-sensei giving him a pass to be there and they shut the door behind him. Kaito blinks, he didn't think she was that bad on a migraine. He'd been sick the day she'd gotten a migraine and it was that time of the month. The entire class had been afraid to breathe lest they set her off. Kaito was the only one that somehow never had her wrath turned on him. When he arrives at the nurse's office the nurse pales when he mentions Sumire having a migraine, " Please for the love of Kami tell me she is not hormonal too. "

" Is she really that bad? " Kaito asks, accepting the pills.

" School was dismissed two and a half hours early due to that, that day. "

Kaito blinks, " No wonder my classmates literally threw me out the door. "

His pass also covered the teacher's lounge so he heads there next, " Kuroba-kun, what are you doing here? "

" Well, Nakajima-sensei, Sumire-chan has a migraine, I need to bring her a cappuccino. " Kaito states showing the man the pass.

Sumire and migraine in the same sentence got him in the door where the teen busies himself with making her, her cappuccino the way she liked it, placing it in an insulated disposable cup with a lid. Once back at classroom 2-B he opens the door to find Keiko talking lowly to Sumire, in the calm eye of the storm. " Who set her off? " Kaito asks even as the scent of caffeine hits Sumire's nostrils.

Takeshi Takato winces, " I accidentally knocked one of my texts onto the floor, Kuroba-san. "

Kaito maneuvers through the chaos and hands the items of his quest to Sumire. The purveyor of chaos downs both pills and then her cappuccino, she scents around for another one and whimpers, " Just relax, Sumire-chan, the meds will kick in soon. "

Konno-sensei says nothing as Kaito guides her to a darkened corner, laying her head on his lap, and starts massaging her temples. Anything that kept the girl from lashing out was welcomed. She couldn't help her migraines and if they hit at school she couldn't just down a potion even if she did call it a home remedy. Kaito also applies a gentle warming charm to his fingertips to try and soothe her even further. Even the Ministry wouldn't quibble over this since they had seen what Black Sumire-san was capable of when she had a migraine. They made the mistake of dragging her in for something or other when she had a raging one and no migraine relief potion around. She had unleashed unholy pranking hell upon the Japanese Ministry once the Healers had confirmed her migraine and they didn't have any of the potion either. They'd had to get Kaito to calm her until they could procure the potion.

All told Kaito had been given full on permission to do whatever was necessary to keep her calm. Her migraine had calmed when lunch hits and Aoko brings their lunches to them. Kaito nods his thanks and sets to work eating his own food while also propping Sumire up enough that she can eat as well. Takato was sent to get her another cappuccino that Kaito gave him explicit, exacting details on how to make. Takato had been told that if he screwed up on her cappuccino by Kaito then he would be her sole target. That gave their classmate all the incentive he needed to not mess up on this drink.

England:

Hermione Granger is furious at the fact that Violet bloody Potter gained the top spot on the O.W.L.'s. How had that bint hidden her intelligence so well? How had she passed the Arithmancy test anyhow? She had aced everything so easily, knocking Hermione out from the top spot effortlessly. She could understand Defense and maybe Runes, Violet did have a knack for Runes after all but the other subjects, that's just hogwash. It was sixth year now and all of Gryffindor had turned on her and Ron since apparently Violet had sent a letter to her god brother, Neville Longbottom whom had informed all the houses how Violet had been used and betrayed. Even Malfoy was astounded at what they had done to his rival.

Hell, he and Violet were distantly related. All of Hogwarts turned on them and Ginny for what they had done. Violet had saved them all and had sent a letter to Magical England stating she would be calling in the life debt all of Magical England owed her, she had already called in Ginny's, her own, and Ron's, Ron could no longer speak, Ginny could no longer see, and Hermione herself had lost her hearing. Violet had gotten her revenge and Draco had looked smug at them stating that all Black women happened to be vindictive bitches. Potter did happen to have Black Blood in her veins after all, diluted but still there.

Ekoda:

Kaito manages to get Sumire back to his place after school and calls for Dobby to bring her a migraine relief potion. Dobby had no problem in answering Kaito's summons because he knew the magician had Violet's best interests at heart. Plus, he also knew the teen actually appreciated the help he was given in maintaining his home. With Sumire seen to Kaito breezes through his homework before researching on what to steal next. He would need Sumire's help to change his body language as KID. He would not allow himself to get caught which meant he had to play smart. He couldn't let himself get complacent which meant he would also need safe houses and emergency port keys to those safe houses as well.

Sumire should be able to help him with the safe houses though at least her home would be safe no matter what. They would also be warding the hell out of the KID room so no one save for them, Dobby, Winky, and Jii could enter it. They were both well accomplished Occulmens by this time, Kaito had helped Sumire to really learn the art. Sumire was currently curled up on the couch, clutching a stuffed black dog, plushie stag, and a plushie wolf as well. Dobby had found her cherished childhood toys.

Kaito isn't even surprised when a cup of hot chocolate appears at his elbow, Dobby always knew when either of them needed something. Winky had returned with his uniforms and was slowly working on getting the rest of his clothes that he wore as Kaito to have the same properties on them. Dobby had gone out to acquire the ingredients for the Polyjuice Potion so that the pair could get started brewing it. They would need it before they really got started on any plans for Kaitou KID. They would also need many healing potions which Sumire knew how to brew, she'd had to learn if only to survive by herself.

Sumire stumbles into the kitchen just as Kaito finishes his cocoa, " I adore the migraine relief potion. Even at my old school everyone left me alone when a migraine hit during class. Hell, Snape started keeping that potion on hand because apparently my mum also got nasty migraines. Only time he was ever nice to me since I turn into a vindictive bitch. Poor, poor Hogwarts when I was hormonal and had a migraine. Only the twins, Neville, and Luna were safe from me. "

" You're really that bad? "

Sumire withdraws the memories and conjures a phial for them, " You can see for yourself. "

Dobby has a meal on the table for her and Sumire digs in, slapping Kaito's hands away from her treacle tart, " Sumire-chan, can't I have just a little bit? "

Her eyes narrow, " No one touches my Treacle Tart, Kaito. "

He shudders as a mixture of apprehension and was that arousal traverse his spine. Well, damn, who would have thought he had a thing for badass females? Sumire was too out of it to notice his reaction this time as migraines always sapped her strength. Once she's eaten she drags out her homework and curses the very existence of math in French. Kaito rolls his eyes and switches table sides to help his girlfriend with her homework. Then came the magical homework that they both had to do. Dobby would turn in their essays while they slept since their current practicals would have to wait until the weekend when their teachers were available. Sumire had added summoning and healing to her class list while Kaito had the basic classes Charms, Transfiguration, Potions, Herbology, Astronomy, History of Magic, and Defense Against the Dark Arts while also taking Ancient Runes, Care of Magical Creatures, Arithmancy, Technomagic, and Warding.

The pair would teach the other the subjects that the other one didn't take. Unlike most magicals they knew knowledge was power and didn't want to be caught flat footed. For some reason Sumire had no problem with Arithmancy and yet Mundane Math gave her problems. Kaito and their Arithmancy teacher had figured that out, apparently Magical Math went around her Dyscalculia while Mundane didn't. Kaito helped her out by putting everything into a pranking perspective and she was led out of their classroom for math tests so they could be read out loud to her. Ekoda High was far more progressive than some schools and fully embraced learning disabilities.

Sumire smacks Kaito's hand away from her Treacle Tart again and reaches for a piece for herself, " We need to work on KID's body language, diction, all that good jazz. "

Kaito groans at this, " You are so cruel to me, Sumire-chan but, I do understand, so I should probably make KID have a different accent than the ones found in Ekoda, though KID will be an unrepentant prankster. I'll have to use entirely different magic tricks as KID and Kaito. This is going to be fun. "

Sumire smirks, " Yes, it is, though I have to master acting like you just in case plus we'll need to have Dobby in on it if both of us need to be seen. "

" Not necessarily, we could use a Golem. " Kaito points out.

With that they were off on making sure KID couldn't be caught, coming up with several contingency plans. Sumire sent a message to the Goblins to acquire some fall back homes under the Peverell name so Kaito would have safe places to go to and to get them warded appropriately. They had to make sure they had contingency upon contingency plans ready to be utilized at a moment's notice. Sumire was also getting gymnastics and martial arts training since at some point she would be joining Kaito in the field or they would be switching off once they had KID's persona fully developed. Sumire could easily pretend to be male and with Kaito's help was learning how to mimic the voices of those she hears.

Kaito actually liked the idea of them being able to switch off at some point and could act like his girlfriend when necessary. Kaito was just that good at acting and impersonations which would be needed as KID. He never revealed that as Kaito which was a good thing and would help keep suspicions off of him. Sumire was also keeping an eye on the High School detectives in Japan, Hattori Heiji wasn't that much of a concern but Kudo Shinichi was. However she had discovered they were actually directly related through her father, apparently Yusaku had been given up for adoption immediately after he was born because he had no magic.

Sumire was in no way going to give up her claim on the Potter Ladyship but she could give him the Heir Ring if he happened to be magical. She decides to find that out the next day, leaving Kaito blinking trying to figure out how she slipped away from him of all people. The transplanted Brit was waiting outside Teitan High School when Kudo Shinichi emerged, calling out to him in English. Shinichi takes in her appearance and runs through several scenarios before approaching her, Mouri Ran had been off sick that day so Suzuki Sonoko wasn't hanging around him. Sumire rolls her eyes at this, " Relax, cousin dear, and yes I am your cousin, your father was born English and given up for adoption. "

" I take it you're my paternal cousin then. "

" I am, so your views on magic? " Sumire asks him.

Shinichi would have banged his head on something if he could, " He was born into a Pureblood family, wasn't he? "

" Yep, I take it you are a magical, itoko? "

" I am, why? "

She tosses him an heir ring, " I am the single most famous individual in Sheeple England, I shucked my shackles and the goblins set me up in Ekoda. I need someone to at least take on the heir status for that ring. I don't trust that old goat any farther than Pigwidgeon, a tiny pygmy owl can toss him, Pig is almost like a living snitch. "

Shinichi places the ring on and feels the family magic accept him, " Where in Ekoda do you live? "

She hands him a piece of paper, "Burn that once you memorize it, if I'm not there then I'm at my boyfriend's home. We alternate where we stay since we both live alone. Since the family magic accepted you then you can also use my House Elves Dobby and Winky. "

" I don't suppose I can meet said boyfriend, can I? " Shinichi asks her.

Sumire groans at this, " Not until I'm damn certain that you won't betray my trust, I've been burned too many times as it is. Oh, work on Occulmency as well so I can actually tell you my secrets, I'm Sumire Black here, remember that as I have no burning need to be bothered by those bloody sheep. "

Shinichi sighs, " Your boyfriend is in the gray area isn't he? "

" As long as he stays loyal, makes me happy, and doesn't become a murderer I don't care what he does. Besides, living with my lovely maternal relatives taught me how to pick locks and pockets if only so I could survive. "

In other words he happened to be a thief and by not letting Shinichi meet him then he had plausible deniability. The fact that said thief made her happy, well, if even some of the rumors out of England were true…he could understand his cousin's gray stance. She would kill in self-defense or the defense of others but never in cold blood. Shinichi had no problems with those that just stole and didn't hurt others physically. He would be pleasantly surprised by Kaitou KID's heists and would realize whom his cousin was dating then.

Ekoda:

Sumire slips into the Kuroba home at six, having brought Kaito a cake made with the three kinds of chocolate available. " Apology gift accepted, now, why did you slip away like that anyhow, Sumire-chan? "

" To meet my cousin whom happens to be known as the Heisei Holmes. "

Kaito's eyes widen, " I see, which is why you kept me out of it. Why go see him? "

" To meet him and give him the Potter Family Heir ring. " Sumire says casually.

Kaito understood then, she needed someone whom wouldn't be manipulated easily as her heir. " Your cousin is the Heisei Holmes and you're dating the Heisei Lupin, you, Sumire-chan, lead a very interesting life. "

" Potter Family Luck, Shinichi has his own brand what with finding murder victims all the time. I get near death experiences in the form of death traps. " Sumire states.

" Wait, you're telling me the it's the Potter blood that has turned Kudo into, to say it bluntly, a corpse magnet? " Kaito asks her.

" That's my theory anyhow, games of chance like sports, we rock, life and death situations well, if it seems simple it's deadly, seems deadly, it's not quite that bad. " Sumire admits.

Kaito winces, " Yet, nothing like that has happened here in Ekoda. "

"That's because Lady Luck has blessed you, you cancel out the Potter Family luck. You have no idea what it's like to wait for the other shoe to drop all the time. Nothing good ever happened without something equally as horrific happening until I came to Ekoda. "

Kaito had never really thought seriously about his good fortunes until his girlfriend goes into detail, great detail about how anything good that ever happened to her was immediately followed by something nasty. Apparently Sumire had finally decided that she could vent safely to him. It all came tumbling out and Kaito was just grateful he was fluent in American and British English. He doesn't try and stem the flood, instead he just wraps his arms around her and lets her speak. She'd never been allowed to show vulnerability before, to be a normal girl for once. Kaito had no problems with granting her this luxury.
