" Do I have to go ? " said Shinichi sighing.
" Yes, and have you got a dress to wear or I will come over with my team of stylist and we can help you get dressed in something beautiful for your date tonight and it will be so romantic. I will get Kaitou Kid and Ran will get her dream date by the end of the night. And you have Hakuba right ? " said Sonoko.
" Why is everyone keep asking me about Hakuba some much ? " said Shinichi annoyed.
" So, the two you are not a couple or anything like that ? " said Sonoko.
" I have had one date with him and everyone is making it out as if we are engaged or trying to pull me down the aisle already. He is a really nice guy and I have a lot in common with him but...I don't know there is something missing. I suppose I will find out tonight how I feel about him " said Shinichi.
" It is probably just the accent and I have someone else that I would like to set you up with and they would be perfect for you " said Sonoko.
" What is it with you and trying to set me up with guys all the time ? " said Shinichi.
" You really are dense! " said Sonoko quietly.
" What did you say ? " said Shinichi.
" Oh! " said Sonoko panicking.
" I said have you got a dress ? " said Sonoko.
" Well my Mum has an old dress that belongs to my mother that I could wear I think it looks nice just not seen it in ages " said Shinichi.
" You Mothers dress! " said Sonoko shocked.
" Yeah or do you think it will be too old or what ? " said Shinichi.
" No...your mum is an actress so her dresses would be just fine " said Sonoko.
" Ok ? " said Shinichi raising her eyebrow.
" So, a limo is coming to pick you up with everyone else in it " said Sonoko.
" Eh ? " said Shinichi.
" We will be there at seven at the latest " said Sonoko.
" Sonoko ...I never agreed to..." said Shinichi.
" Bye! " said Sonoko.
And the phone was hung up.
She scolded at the phone.
'Great now I have to go' thought Shinichi.
She took out her Mother`s dress it was a black cocktail dress and she remember her mother describing it as the dream dress that every girl in the world wanted and would be the envy of. And it was also the perfect place to hide her guns, knives, badge and any other weapon or thing that she needed for the job that she was doing at the time.
After getting dressed and taking her time doing her makeup and hair that Sonoko had made her do or she would have forced to do it for her by tying her to a chair or something. She had done it before well tried to do it before she jumped out a window before Sonoko could get in the room. Then she was mad at her because she disappeared and searched for her for over an hour and found her at a case instead to say that she was not happy was an overstatement. And she did not like the fact that she did not know how she escaped and still didn't was driving her mad and the late she was setting her up with fled when he saw the dead body.
Knock Knock
" Shinichi are you dressed in there and can I come in ? " said Sonoko knocking on the door.
She was currently putting her weapons inside the dress because she had the feeling that she might need them tonight and the fact that there was a threat made and hide her other disguise that she wore when the other one was damaged. It was the emergency one that was just a simple black outfit ok it made her look like a ninja but it was still able to hide the fact that she was a girl.
" Are you in there ? Do you need help or something like with your hair ? " said Sonoko.
" I am almost dressed and you are far too early "said Shinichi.
And she was now hiding the mask in her bag and then changing it to somewhere and another because they were all stupid places and she was now on a meltdown panicking right now.
" I have a key so I am coming in " said Sonoko already with the key in the door.
" No, No! " said Shinichi panicking.
She ran jumped leaping over the bed in one flip and pushed the door shut with all her strength and hit Sonoko on the face and sending her to the ground in pain. And then she put the bolt on the door so Sonoko could not get in.
" OUCH ... I hit my head on the door and the door hit me...What the hell just happened ? " said Sonoko.
Shinichi just chuckled at her confusion.
And in the meantime, while Sonoko was confused and mad at herself going down the stairs she quickly got her act together and got dressed fully for the night.
" God, I hate heels " said Shinichi sighing as she grabbed the bag off the bed and made her way out of the door and made her way down the stairs.
" I am ready " said Shinichi as she walked down the stairs.
Sonoko was smiling like a Cheshire cat the moment she saw Shinichi in the dress and she was also giving her darts with her eyes because what she was looking at right now was the perfect cocktail dress and she wanted it more than anything she was so jealous. But as she looked at her best friends face and her reaction to it watching her blush and smile it was just obvious that she was in love and she was going to make it happen.
" Shinichi, you look beautiful " said Ran letting it slip out.
" Ran ? ! " said Shinichi shocked and blushing.
'Oh, shit what the hell am I going to do and she said be friends ?' she thought.
She just suddenly remembered the last time she was with Ran and well now there was a lot going on now and oh god she was starting to panic. And because of the stupid heels that she was wearing for the first time and they were already hurting her feet she twisted her foot and she accidentally fell and she tried to grab the banister but it was too late her only chance was to do one of her special moves and suddenly someone just caught her in their arms.
" Thank You " she said surprised and a little shaken.
" You are welcome " said Hakuba.
" Are you alright ? " said a lot of people running over.
She coughed and she was still a little shaken and she was surprised by it.
" I am fine really there is no need to worry " said Shinichi as Hakuba helped her back up.
And of course, there was the uncomfortable silence in the room.
" AHOKO you locked me in the limo " screamed Kaito as he burst through the door.
Everyone turned to him shocked by his sudden outburst distracting them away from Shinichi and Hakuba.
" BaKaito I didn't lock you in the limo " screamed Aoko.
" Then who did ? You were the last to leave and unless it was..." said Kaito.
'That bastard' he thought.
Everyone was locked onto them.
" Come on let's get out of here while they two fight it out as usual " said Hakuba quietly.
Shinichi just nodded.
And they sneaked out the other door.
" Is your ankle alright ? " said Hakuba.
" Yeah " said Shinichi awkwardly.
" So, it is the first time that you have been wearing those heels and that is why you fell " said Hakuba.
" Yes " said Shinichi surprised.
" And I you can tell that I am the only one that thinks that because everyone is thinking something else and it is also because of the Mouri Girl. Did something happen between the both of you that I should know about ? " said Hakuba.
Shinichi just turned bright red.
Hakuba just laughed.
" So, I have more than one competitor for the night " said Hakuba.
" What ? " said Shinichi confused.
" I am talking about Kaitou Kid and Mouri Ran " said Hakuba.
" Eh ? " said Shinichi confused.
But before Hakuba could say anything else.
" There you are you had us all worried " said Ran.
Ran immediately checked Shinichi to see if she was alright.
" Ran I am fine there is no need to worry it was just a little trip and Hakuba got me anyway so I am fine " said Shinichi gesturing to Hakuba just trying to reassure her.
" Shin-Chan it is lovely to see you again and you are wearing the perfect cocktail dress and it is makes you look sexy as hell. And your house it giant and it is hauntingly beautiful " said Kaito and handed her a rose
Shinichi immediately blushed then turned red and her eye twitched all within three seconds.
" Bakaito stopping hitting on every girl it is just getting annoying now but Shinichi you really do have a beautiful house though Aoko got scared for a minute there when we arrived " said Aoko.
" You two know each other ? " said Hakuba neutrally well trying to make it sound neutral.
Shinichi was speechless and her face darkened.
And Kaito was trying to think of something to say
" Yeah Aoko introduced the two of them at the cemetery today not the best place to meet someone but you definitely remember them because of it " said Aoko and then she just realized what she had said making it awkward.
And there was more awkward silence.
" Oh, come already let's just go I don't want to miss my KID-Sama " said Sonoko annoyed.
And they got in the limo and they were all squashed against the wall. Somehow Shinichi was stuck between Ran and Kaito with Hakuba sitting beside Kaito and Aoko and he was not in a good mood. And Sonoko was stuck at the door. And Hakuba was not happy about this.
Especially with the look Kuroba was giving Shinichi the moment he saw her it was like he was trying to undress her with his eyes or something. And he was surprised that he was actually blushing when he saw Shinichi and still was and the closer he got to her his face was getting more and more red. And he was actually looking nervous like a normal teenage boy and now he saw Kuroba`s eyes glance at something he did not want him looking at and he started to glare.
" So Hakuba what do you have planned for tonight to stop Kaitou Kid well try to stop him anyway since Nakamori is not here ? " said Kaito grinning.
She knew that he was doing it on purpose to wind up Hakuba so she slyly stomped on his foot and hit in the shin with the heel of shoes and just grinned at him when he turned around trying to hide the pain. And he just rubbed his shin in pain with a stubborn expression on his face.
They all looked at Hakuba with interest.
" I am not telling a single person what I have somehow Kaitou Kid always manages to get himself information somehow so no one is to say a single word about it and I am not either " said Hakuba.
" So, you are the only one that knows where the diamond is " said Shinichi without thinking and then she realized what she had said the moment she had said it.
And this made Kaito grin.
" There is a bump ahead " said the limo driver.
Shinichi cranked her head round she recognized that voice immediately even with him trying his best to disguise it.
Kaito saw her looking over and he got worried that she might be on to him already.
" Hey Shin-Chan, I don't want to sound rude or mean but how do you do your makeup and hair when you can't see ? " said Kaito.
" Bakaito! " said Aoko.
But they were all looking wanting to know.
" No, it is ok! " said Shinichi.
" I organize it well, I know my skin colour so I go with the ones that are the best shade for my skin and use the same amount each time. The smell of it help as well and you do know how much you actually put on each and every tome. The key is not too much and I know every single area of my face and the feeling of it as well can tell if you have put too much on. And great detail and time, plus I don't really wear it a lot so. Plus, my mum got someone to teach me how to do it just in case I messed up she is crazy that way " said Shinichi.
" Ahoko you have not done your lipstick " said Kaito.
" What ? " said Aoko.
She quickly took out her mirror and lipstick out of her back and started to redo all of her makeup. And then they all went into the air as they went over the bump and they all slid to their sides.
" Oops sorry Hakuba! " said Aoko guilty.
Everyone looked at Hakuba as he was currently wearing red lipstick doodle on his face from his eye to his chin.
" It is alright " said Hakuba calmly.
" Kaito will you move your hand ? " said Shinichi.
" Sorry! " he said sliding his hand from right under Shinichi where she was sitting.
And he earned a kick from an angry Ran.
" Blue! " said Kaito accidentally.
"...? " said Shinichi raising her eyebrow.
" Bakaito ...You pervert! " said Aoko.
" Ahoko! " said Kaito going red.
" What is blue ? " said Ran.
" Kuroba here likes to ...well he is just a very inappropriate person " said Hakuba.
Now Shinichi was fully red as she crossed her legs.
The limo came to a holt and Shinichi was already half way out the door.
" Shinichi will you come with me to the bathroom ? " said Aoko.
" Yes " said Shinichi confused to what she was wanting.
" Wait I want to come to...I need to check my makeup " said Ran.
And the three of them were left in the limo.
" Kuroba what the hell do you think you are doing ? " said Hakuba.
" I have no idea what you are talking about ? said Kaito innocently.
" He is talking the fact you were feeling her up and you are not good enough for Shinichi. And now I think about it neither of you are so you leave her alone. I have someone else in mind for Shinichi and they are perfect match for her and they know each other so well and Shinichi already knows them well enough to trust them " said Sonoko.
Both of them were gobsmacked.
" You were the one that set them two of them up on their date to the museum that is what Aoko told me " said Kaito.
" You just did that to make her jealous and realize her feelings didn't you " said Hakuba.
" I have no idea what you are talking about ? " said Sonoko.
" I am talking about you manipulating events and people into you getting your way it is what your family does. And I also know for a fact that Mouri Ran kissed Shinichi and I can tell you are desperate to get them together. Anyone can see that she is in love with her and they have not spoken of the kiss yet and it is still unresolved feelings and you are hoping to resolve it by getting them together tonight by thinking of a romantic night would do it justice " said Hakuba smugly.
" Shinichi told you that Ran kissed her " said Sonoko angered.
" No, she did not, like Shinichi I am a Detective and we can tell these things and Shinichi is an easy person to read when it comes to emotions and I just find it adorable " said Hakuba.
" Ran actually kissed Shin-Chan! "said Kaito.
But he was ignored by the other two.
" So, you need to back off! " said Sonoko.
" Shinichi is by far the finest girl that I have met and we have more in common than you and your friend " said Hakuba.
" You haven't kissed her, have you? " said Sonoko smiling.
" I would have if it wasn't for Kaitou Kid and he is also after Shinichi by the way and I am beating that he is pigheadedly to do something about it" said Hakuba gritting his teeth.
And Sonoko`s eye brightened up.
" So how about a wager then ? " said Sonoko.
" I am listening " said Hakuba.
" If Ran kisses Shinichi first then you have to back off and if you are able to kiss Shinichi and she actually kisses you back then I will back off and I know Ran will because she will just want her to be happy. Which is why Ran`s deserves Shinichi and you don't " said Sonoko.
" And what if Kaitou Kid kisses her first or someone else ? " said Kaito interrupting them.
They both glared at him making him sweat.
" If Kaitou Kid kisses her then I will be happy for them but he should be kissing me and not Shinichi his sworn enemy a Detective. And if you even try to kiss her you will regret the day you were born " said Sonoko.
" And I will arrest you " said Hakuba.
" Touchy " said Kaito.
" And you cannot either of you tell Shinichi about the bet or she will kill us " said Sonoko.
" Agreed " they all said.
And Hakuba and Sonoko left the limo both going in different directions. Sonoko to find Ran to tell her the good news and Hakuba to the bathroom to get the makeup off his face and then a new place to hide the diamond because Kaitou Kid was already on to him. And Kaito was left alone in the limo with the driver that the other two teens forgot all about.
" Jii...What am I going to do I have more competition than I originally thought and it is a girl and I did not see this coming. But Hakuba did " said a whining Kaito.
" Young Master maybe this is just something that you cannot win and you should just be friends she doesn't really seem interested in you. And I must admit she does like the detective and if her friend is interested in her you owe her the chance to discover that kind of feelings for herself. And you do like the Vigilante as well so maybe you could always try for the less complicated girl like Aoko " said Jii.
He banged his head against the wall.
" Jii do you have something against Shin-Chan or something ? " said Kaito.
" No, she is perfectly young wonderful girl who any guy would be lucky to be with " said Jii.
" Just not me " said Kaito.
" No that is not what I meant " said Jii.
" Yeah I have to prove to her that I am good enough and I need to kiss her before the other two do that way she mine and they have to back off " said Kaito grinning.
He was already formulating a plan in his head.
" Young Master ? " said Jii worryingly.
But Kaito was not listening he was just grinning and bouncing up and down on his seat.
And running out the limo before Jii could say anything else.
And then he realized that was not actually promised anything from he bet and he was not very happy but he had an idea it was stupid but it was still an idea.
