" So, Shin-Chan can we talk ? " said Kaito.
She took a deep breath in she was nearly ready to snap.
" Stopping calling me that it is irritating and childish stop acting like a child already and just grow up " said Shinichi.
" Are you mad at me ? " said Kaito.
" Of course, I am " said Shinichi.
He put both his hands on her shoulders.
" What the hell do you think you are doing ? " said Shinichi.
He closed in and hugged her tightly shocking her.
" I don't know why you are upset and so sad but I am here for you. Whatever it is you can tell me with the truth Shinichi you can tell me anything and I am here for you can trust me and I will not judge or make any assumptions. I am your friend even if you don't want me to be your friend I am and here for you anytime you need to talk I will just listen. I can understand your feelings like no one else can and no matter what you decide or who to be with I will be your friend even if that bastard Hakuba ends up being your boyfriend and you try to arrest me again. No matter what I am here for you I trust you more than I trust anyone else you are a 'Hero' to me and I want to help in anyway even if it is..." said Kaito.
" Ok ? " said Shinichi unemotionally.
And she walked away confused and her glasses started to fog up as she cried and wiped away the tears she did not have time to cry not yet she could not cry right now she had a lot do and crying would not help anyone.
" Shin-Chan come in and see what I have for you "
A little five-year-old Kudo Shinichi ran into the room when she heard her name being called and she was smiling happily waiting for the surprise.
" Mummy is it the new book that Uncle Yusako wrote because I know it not out yet but you always get it early and...Yippee it is " said a little Shinichi clutching a book in her hands.
" Can I ever surprise you little Detective " said her mother.
" What is your job ? " said Shinichi.
Her mother paused.
" To be the best mother that I can be and a loving wife that is annoyed with your father for being out so late " said her mother.
Her mother hugged her.
" Eh ? " said Shinichi.
" How would you like to go to London for a while or even maybe to stay ? " said Her mother.
" London! " said Shinichi happily.
" Yes " said her mother.
" I would love ...that is where Sherlock Holmes lives with Watson and solves his cases and I would want to meet him and be his assistant or apprentice or maybe even marry him one day when I am older of course " said Shinichi.
Her mother laughed at her and she just frowned at her not knowing why she was being laughed at.
" Shin-Chan I love you and so does your father you know that don't you " said her mother.
" Of course, you only say it a million times a day " said Shinichi puzzled.
Her mother patted her on the head.
" Come on we are meeting you father tonight so we can go see a magic show " said her mother.
" But!...I want to read my book " said Shinichi.
" You can do both and we have not been out for a family event for more than a month so you are going and you will like it. Plus, the magician is actually an old friend of your fathers that he has not seen in a while and he has a son that you can sit and play with " said her mother.
" Dad has a friend ? " said Shinichi.
Her mother just laughed.
" Of course, he does " said her mother.
" So, you will be getting dressed up for tonight and I know that you are rolling your eyes and don't give me that look I am your mother and I know what you are think and I am saying NO. You are not taking the book with you but you can start reading it now if you want to " said her mother.
" Ok " said Shinichi.
" And don't take that tone with me young lady " said her mother.
She was starting to remember that happened that night, the last night that they were a family and together. The last night her parents were alive and they were so happy and like a normal family and it was also the night that they were murdered.
The doctors said that she had been traumatized and that she had PTSD of that night and she did every year she would remember that night and out live it in her head over and over again. It was horrific, haunting and it was the only time that she got to see them and the only time that she could remember their faces.
It was a day she was both happy and sad because she got to see their faces and remember them perfectly but it was also the worst day of her life that she had to relive the day her parents dying and the day that she became an orphan. And it was the day that she lost everything and the only thing she was able to escape the house with was the book her mother gave her that was now tattered and burnt and that she could no longer read. Her locket with her parent's pictures in it and her father's watch that no longer worked but she kept it anyway. And the teddy Dove that she was bought that night at the magic show.
Why did he have to call her Shin-Chan of all names ?
It was what her parents called her and she loved it, she used to love it and now it was just a reminder of what she had lost and that she was not Shin-Chan she was not that happy five-year-old little girl. Not anymore, she had not been truly happy since that day and there were a few rare moments that she was truly happy. And even rarer that she could forget all of her problems because they just got worse and worse every single day of her life.
" Shinichi ? " said Kaito.
He spotted a small puddle of tears on the ground and he began to follow them but there was a hand put on his shoulder stopping him just before he could find her.
" So, are you going to go get changed into something more to your style Kuroba ? " said Hakuba.
He moved his arm.
" Where is Shin-Chan ? " said Kaito neutrally.
" Don't change the subject you are just trying to distract me " said Hakuba.
" She was crying today at the graveyard and I caught her just now she was crying again and she does not strike me as the type of person do that. And you are supposed to be her date and you have not even spent five minutes with her you have just go being doing your job and your obsession with Kaitou Kid. You are a Detective you should know why she is so upset tonight and you have done nothing about it " said Kaito.
"...? " said Hakuba as he was left in the lurches and left with his thoughts.
" Aoko how was Shinichi when you saw her ? " said Kaito.
He looked at his watch it was getting closer to the time that he was meant to show up but he first had to find up what was wrong with Shinichi.
" Bakaito leave the girl alone you a freaking everyone out " said Aoko.
" Aoko please I just want to cheer her up " said Kaito pleading.
" Fine then since Aoko is worried about her to I will tell you. She has a headache and a painful one that looks like and...? " said Aoko.
" And ? What Aoko ? " said Kaito.
" Just that today is a bad day for her but that is all Aoko knows " said Aoko.
He nodded.
" I will go and look for some pills for her to get rid of her headache and maybe she just needs them and she will feel much better and be back to herself " said Kaito.
He now had two minutes and he was about to be late.
21:41
Kaitou Kid had arrived exactly on time.
" Ladies and Gentleman "
He said his usual introduction.
" Get him " said Hakuba.
They were all forming in a position to get him all of them coming in different directions and keeping a tight space so that he would be trapped and it looked he was going to trapped with the formation that they were making. It just looked like it but like that was going to happen like it ever was going to happen.
PUFF
A giant net was able to catch all of the Task Force members in a giant net because like always they had fallen for a dummy. But why was Hakuba still smiling and that was when he realized it was a trap and a distraction. He smiled this was going to be more interesting than he thought it was going to be. But Hakuba was a far too easy person to read and it was going to help him so much as he stood beside Hakuba waiting for the next instructions to come as another dummy appeared.
He rubbed his hands as he smiled excitedly waiting for the next part to come and waiting for Hakuba to let slip where he had hidden the Diamond Rose. And he was getting impatient already and most of the Task Force members had been caught in the giant nets that he had them in and there was just a few of them left.
Click
" I caught you Kaitou Kid " said Hakuba as the handcuffs were put on.
" Eh ? I am not Kaitou Kid " protested the Task Force member practically pleading as he shook the handcuffs.
" I think this was what you where looking for " said Hakuba as he dragged Kaitou Kid over to the table that was filled with flowers.
Hakuba dug into the pot that was filled and he took the flower out showing him the Diamond Rose in his hands smirking as if he had already won.
Hakuba just took this as a victory as he pulled off the mask and there was Kaitou Kid standing right in front of him monocle and all. He did not speak or say a word he just stood there in cold silence staring at him as Hakuba removed the monocle. But he was shocked and horrified because when he did remove the monocle it removed another mask attached to it and sprayed sleeping spray in his face knocking him to the ground and asleep on the ground.
And Kaitou Kid taking the Diamond Rose out of his hands and there was no one else around to stop him because all of the other Task Force members were now in nets and being sprayed with sleeping bombs or they could not get through the crowd of fans that were cheering.
" Now for the magic show to begin " said Kaitou Kid.
PUFF
He was gone in a puff of smoke and he then reappeared on the stage as fans started to cheer his name and for his victory.
He clicked his fingers and the lights went off just leaving the spotlight in him.
" KID " people kept shouting.
" I love you " said another and another.
He coughed.
" Now for my first trick I will need a beautiful assistant " said Kaitou Kid.
" ME ? "
" ME! "
They all screamed.
" How about you Meitantei? " said Kaitou Kid.
And now the spotlight was searching the room for her.
" Looks like I cannot find her " said Kaitou Kid innocently.
" Maybe that is because she is behind me " said Kaitou Kid as he spun around.
Everyone cheered.
" Now come on Meitantei you don't want to upset the audience, do you? " said Kaitou Kid as he pulled her forward.
PUFF
It was not Shinichi but it was a dummy and he had fallen for it hook line and sinker and he had never felt so ashamed of himself for falling for something that was so smile that he made others fall for it all the time.
" WHAT? " he screamed in shock.
He was now wearing handcuffs.
" Tch Kaitou Kid do you really think I would just let you steal my date and get away with it " said Hakuba smiling.
Everyone was in shock and silence.
" Now to remove that monocle and mask for the world to see who you really are " said Hakuba.
" Kuroba you should not have gone after the girl it is far too predictable and you will not be asking her out in say ten to twenty years if you are lucky " said Hakuba as he whispered in Kaito`s ears.
He was caught and that was the end of it and the worst thing about the fact that he was caught was it was Hakuba and his egoistical smugness of it.
" BOOO! " screamed the audience.
Hakuba put his hand on the hat and he already had his hand on the monocle taking it off Kaitou Kid`s face and suddenly the lights went out.
" Eh ? " said Kaitou Kid.
" What is happening ? " demanded Hakuba.
BANG
A gun was fired into the air.
And the lights were back on.
" Down on the ground Now " said several men.
Hakuba and along with everyone else was being forced to the ground at gun point as they were twelve men dressed in black outfits with machine guns in their hands ready to kill anyone that got in their way.
" Here is what is going to happen you are going to do as I saw or you will get a bullet straight in the head. You all will remain here until the ransom has been paid and you will free to go. well most of you will go free. Take the thief and knock him out so he will not get in our way " said the man in charge.
He was hit in the back of the head and he was starting to fall in and out of unconsciousness as he was being dragged by two others into another room while everyone else was being helped captive. He was told that he should have cancelled his Heist and he didn't listen he was now regretting it more than ever and it was not going to end well.
" Let me see his face before I shoot him in it " said Snake.
He did his best so that they would not see his face because his monocle was currently in the hands of Hakuba and he was doomed. He thought back the best he could trying to get out of the handcuffs and keep his head down but he was grabbed by the throat and he was struggling to breathe and stay conscious at the same time. He could no longer fight back he was pinned to the ground as one of them sat on him digging a knife into his shoulder blade and ripping the fabric of his bullet proof jacket. While the other one held his face as he felt the gun approaching his face he was doomed and there was nothing that he could do about it.
WOOSH
The gun was knocked out of Snake`s hands and the other two men were on the ground unconscious.
" So, Daredevil we finally meet face to face and I must say that I have been impressed so far and it is an honour to meet you at last " said Snake putting his hand out to shake.
But she did not want to shake his hand it was disgusting and the thought of it just made her feel dirty and made her skin crawl.
She went to punch him but she was surprised that he was able to catch her hand and he was now crushing her hand.
" You seem off today is there something wrong or was I wrong about you ? " said Snake.
He picked his gun up and fired.
BANG
But he missed and he was surprised by this as he backed away.
" First hit was for free and I am done playing your sick games " said Daredevil.
With one sly kick, she was able to send him flying into a wall denting it and knocking him unconscious and bleeding. And she quickly searched his pockets for the gadget that she needed to put the lights off. Kaitou Kid was still unconscious and she was just able to save him and his identity on time before Snake got what he wanted. She searched his pockets and he did not have it which meant the man that was in charge of the hostages. And she would not be able to get it without anyone seeing her or having to go out in her real identity this was going to be a hard choice and she was going to have to make it.
She searched Kaitou Kid his only lasted for the amount of times that he needed it and it was no longer in use so there was no hope there. Feeling the back of his hand and his pulse and pain rate the blood flow and breathing he had a concussion and he was going to be out and for quite some time as well.
" Young Master! " said a panicked voice.
She heard the voice and she knew who it was it was Kaitou Kid`s assistant and he was talking through an earpiece. She did not trust him and she only trusted that he would look out for his master or whatever you want to call it. She decided to pick up the earpiece and talk to the old man and get his help if he could.
" Young Master! " said Jii again more panicked than ever.
" He is unconscious right now because of them so you will be talking to me for the meantime. And if you want him to get out here alive and not in handcuffs you are going to listen to me and follow my every instruction. Do you understand me! " said Daredevil.
" Is this ...Daredevil ? " said Jii gulping.
But he already knew the answer and it was a yes.
" What do you want me to do ? " said Jii.
" Put all the lights and electricity off " said Daredevil.
" What ? How is that going to help anyone " said Jii confused.
She was now angry.
" Do as I say or you will regret defying me " said Daredevil.
She heard the gulp and the fear in his voice.
" Ok they will be off in less than five minutes just make sure that Young Master is safe that is all I want forget about Snake right now " said Jii.
" I have heard enough " said Daredevil as she crushed the earpiece in her hands.
She picked up Kaitou Kid and put him over her shoulder and carried him out and hid him in a vault that he would be safe in and would take him some time to get out of so that he would not get in her way like he always does.
" What are you doing here because I can tell that you are not here for us not really we are just the distraction aren't we. You are here for Kaitou Kid aren't you and there is something else that you are here for I can tell " said Hakuba.
" Another rule, Shut up! " said the man in charge sounding so bored that this was nothing.
The man in charge was bored and just decided to knock the stupid teenager out and he did without a second thought.
WOOSH
The man in charge was knocked out as the men in black saw this. With everyone else this staring at the ground not knowing what was happening they began to panic.
" He is here " said one of the men in black.
The clicked their guns ready to fire. As the lights started to go out each of them put on their night vision goggles ready to fight for their lives and for their freedom but that outcome was not likely when they were facing someone like him. But they were some of the best and they were letting their fear getting the better of them and they prepared themselves to fight knowing that they would end up lose but it would be an interesting fight. A fight that they would never forget.
" You are not wearing your usual armour "
" So, he can have harmed easier now this is going to easier than we thought "
But there was only nine of them and she smiled with an evil smirk that sent shivers down their spines. As she walked forward they started to point their guns into people and that was making her very angry and making her expression show this.
With the smoke bombs that she took out of Kaitou Kid`s pockets she used them and used them to her advantage. As she blinded the men in black as they saw the flashing light causing them pain through their night vision goggles. They dropped the guns to their sides as they were in pain trying to cover their eyes and she used this to her advantage as she through her cane knocking the guns out of all their hands.
" Everyone stay down and you will be save I just need to take out the trash " said Daredevil.
Everyone obeyed the order and shielded their heads and some of them even taking the guns away so the men in black could not get them without having to deal with all of them.
Three of them approached her at the same time circling her and it was easy she was able to take them out with one spinning kick and knocking them to the ground. But they just got back up and ready to fight as they attacked her with knives now. Flipping and moving around she was just able to avoid them and she managed to get what she wanted for them to cut off each other night vision goggles and accidentally take each other out thinking that she was one of them.
Five of them approached her at the same time and these guys were twice as good as the others. It took some time and they were able to and some kicks and punches in that made them smile. And rip the fabric of her outfit and just miss her skin and some cuts and scratches just she was able to take them out. With the final punch to the last guy she was able to knock him out in one punch as he back away from her in fear as he saw her walk forward to him like the others started to do.
The earpieces that they had used to communicate had really helped her and find them so easily and she was almost done as she crushed another one of them so she could find the last remaining one.
And there was one more remaining.
But she heard them coming and the lights were about to come on.
She made her move for it and she quickly got out there before anyone could see her.
The lights were back on and he saw a flash of black and he quickly followed it as his instincts all kicked in telling him not to follow it and wish of course meant that he had to. But when he entered the room there was nothing but two men unconscious and a large dent in the wall that looked like that it was meant for a person. And the window was smashed with blood on it as if someone had made their escape just before he was able to get there.
He went into the main hall to find that there were men in black being arrested and he recognized some of them and they were Task Force members. They were bruised beaten and it looked as if some of their fingers were broken by something and they were all exactly the same in perfect detail.
