The bastard thief had been following her for over an hour and now it was just getting annoying and by the sounds of it the thief was already exhausted it had only been an hour. And so, what if he had to so much jumping and climbing just to follow her and stay 'hidden, so that she 'would not know' that she was being followed or rather stalked yet again and she was really getting fed up with this. But at least tonight she could finally put an end to him think that she was Daredevil once and for all even though she was that was not the point that she was trying to make here. It was to get him out of her life and for good both of her life's because he was just far too much hassle
She had arrived to meet with the police and to meet with Daredevil in their secret hiding place that no one could find in the world except if you followed someone there.
He was now rubbing his hands because of the freezing cold and he was so cold as he followed Shinichi to. He had no idea where he was and it was over an hour's walk and there was so much coldness he could see his own breath. They were beside the water and just looking at the crashing waves it almost looked frozen. And looking at Shinichi she was just wearing a light jacket and he was dressed all in his Kaitou Kid gear just to keep him warm and it was working. But his gloves and hat was not made for anything like this and it was far too cold, he was so regretting following her because of the freezing cold but he was not going to give but because of this. I mean what kind of reason would this to quit it would just be shameful and embarrassing but on the other hand he would not end up with the cold that or flu that he was now developing.
" Achoo " he sneezed.
And Shinichi quickly twisted her head in his direction and he ducked and covered from hoping that she would not see him or that she would not know where he was. Or he was hoping that she did not know that he was there the whole time.
But hiding in the dark was his speciality and he was hoping that it was going to work because he was putting his best skills and everything he had into hiding and following he was doing the best that he could.
He was panting and he was exhausted tailing someone for so long was not his speciality and it was just not something that could hold his interest for so long.
But it was just so cold.
" BRRR " he said shaking himself trying to get warm.
But she had finally stopped and she was talking to someone but he could not see the person or persons. He realized that there was more than one person as he could hear the voices as he got closer and closer to them and he recognized a few of them, they were police and he knew them.
And there was someone else there hiding in the shadows and it was a male by the sound of it and he did not recognize this voice or at least he did not think that he did not. He was not sure that he did not recognize it or not he just got closer and closer to find out who it was and he was completely and utterly shocked to see who it was.
It was Daredevil and Shinichi was standing there in the light with the other two police that he knew.
Megure and Nakamori.
There were all four of them and he was confused to what the hell was happening.
Nakamori looked his typical angry self as if he was ready to arrest someone any minute and he even hand the handcuffs in his hands but he actually looked scared and he was debating with himself. It was an amusing show to watch for the next five minutes and shockingly Nakamori was not yelling or screaming not once. But the blood was definitely rushing to his head and his head because it was all red and it looked like he was ready to explode like a volcano.
But he did not he just put the handcuffs in his pocket and he started to calm down and taking one hell of a deep breath and that was it they were all chatting again. It looked like a deep conversation that they were getting into and it looked every much real and trouble by the making of it.
He was wrong.
He was dead wrong.
And he was dead meat.
But he had to make sure that he was wrong because the last time he thought it was Shinichi it turned out to be Hakuba tricking him with a dummy and sadly this was one of his own tricks and there was no way that he was going to be tricked with it again.
They were now all parting and the two of them that he was more concerned with were going in the same direction. The two of them were together and he was going to make his move and surprise them to find out just what the hell was happening.
The two of them were chatting and he started to listen in.
" That Pervert " said Daredevil.
" Bloody bastard! " said Shinichi.
They were talking about him, this he did not like and especially what they were saying.
" Next time I see him I will crush him and things that will hurt " said Daredevil.
He was now gritting his teeth in fear as he watched Daredevil brake a baseball with her own hands.
" I might just arrest him the next time he comes around for using me like that " said Shinichi.
He so did not use her ? Ok so maybe he did at first as he used it as an escape plan as they only one he could see and it worked. But it was just meant to be a fake kiss and nothing else but he was just so close to her and her lips so close that he it was just so tempting that he could not help him but he kisses her. And maybe it was too late that he realized that he had gone too far and he owed her an apology and so much more.
" If he gets in my way one more time I will not be responsible for my actions because he has gone too far and if he steps over the line with either of us one more time then..." said Daredevil.
" I AM SORRY " he screamed as he panicked without thinking.
They both turned around and he was already on his glider trying to get away from the both of them as they were currently being showered in roses as an apology and it was not going well with either of the girls.
He did not want to look back because he was so terrified but like in the horror films they always and that is exactly what he did. And in horror he watched Daredevil jump and run coming after him catching up with him within seconds he quickly put on the motor so he would go much faster.
And there was nothing else that Daredevil could use and that meant he was safe and he gave a cheeky grin and a salute and without thinking he blew a kiss. And that was how he was hit with a flying stick and he swore he was punched in the stomach but he was not sure. All he knew that he crashes landed into the river along with his glider because he and it were now separated as his belts were broken.
And now he had to swim back in the freezing cold waters in February and it was not good he was guessing that this was his punishment and he did not like it one bit.
" Thank You for pretending to be me I did not want to face him again not that after what happened today " said Shinichi.
" You are welcome " said Sato.
And she was so grateful for the quick disguise that Agasa had made up for and the timing and tricking was hard but they were able to up it off with a slight of hand and tricking the master of tricks. And lately that had been surprisingly easy to do and even Hakuba had pulled it off and that surprised her. It was as if there was something wrong with him and he was distracted but she had no idea what it was.
" But you will tell me one of these days Kudo ? " said Sato.
" Eh what sorry ? " said Shinichi snapping out of her thoughts.
" It does not matter but just be careful ok and do you need a lift home ? " said Sato.
" Yeah that would be great " said Shinichi as she followed Sato to the car.
As she got a lift home and leaned against the window she began to wonder if Sato was onto her or something. She was not sure what was happening but she could not say for sure. She ended up falling asleep in the car from exhaustion and much needed sleep and she woke up when she was shaken awake.
" Shinichi " said Agasa caringly.
She just nodded and got out of the car and headed straight to bed and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
" Hey Shin-Chan wake up " said Kaito.
She just pulled the blanket and pillow over her head and successfully knocked him to the ground at the exact same time.
" Go away I just got to sleep " said Shinichi.
" Oh, come on Shi-Chan I need to apologize for my indiscretions " said Kaito.
But she was already back asleep.
He looked at her and she looked exhausted he supposed that he could come back another time.
And he did that afternoon when Shinichi had finally gotten out of her bed.
All three of them were at the gates waiting.
" SHIN-CHAN " screamed Kaito as he waved like an idiot.
She rolled her eyes back as soon as she stepped out of the door.
" Hello Shinichi " said Ran happily.
He was shoved aside by Sonoko.
Shinichi ignored all of them as she just locked the gate and walked by them without giving them even a glance or nod or a hint her recognizing that they were there.
" I know about the bet " said Shinichi and she walked away.
" Bet ? " said Aoko.
Frightening all three of them.
And they looked back and Shinichi was gone.
" Dammit! " he said kicking a rock.
" You told her " said Sonoko accusingly.
" NO, it must have been Hakuba or she figured it out " said Kaito.
" Shinichi will be only mad for a while. I hope that she will forgive me because I will never forgive myself if she does not " said Ran.
" What did the four of you guys do to piss Shinichi of so much ? And is that why she was so upset last night are you all to blame ? " said Aoko.
And there were three deadpanned faces.
" So what Hakuba had to say to my father this morning is it or is it not true ? " said Aoko somehow wielding a mop that looked half burnt that obviously came from Agasa`s.
They all said nothing and they all just looked guilty.
" IDIOTS! BAKAITO! " she screamed and hit him directly with the mop.
Aoko angrily marched off.
" Aoko where are you going ? " said Kaito catching up with her.
" To find her and make sure that she is alright ? " said Aoko.
He was determined to catch up with Shinichi and he was going to do it she was not going to disappear into thin air just like that and he was going to find her and apologise properly. But he bumped into someone by accident and they both went flying to the ground.
" Kuroba I need to speak to you it is important " said Hakuba.
He was dazed when he heard that annoying voice and he knew exactly who it was.
" I have no time and I do not want to talk to you, I have something more important to do than speak to you and right now my time is running out before..." said Kaito.
" This is about Shinichi and Kaitou Kid, it is about that kiss and there are some serious actions that might be taken if you do not listen to me now " said Hakuba.
" They kissed, they actually kissed so I win? " said Kaito hopeful.
" No, he kissed her and now the entire Task Force and the Nakamori`s think he is a paedophile since Shinichi is fifteen and they are keeping it quiet for now but unless there is something that you want to say to make this from going public or any other actions being took then..." said Hakuba.
" I am a fan of Kaitou Kid and I do not think he is a paedophile a why would anyone when they find out. What is going to happen ? " said Kaito.
" Well as far as the world is concerned there is only one Kaitou Kid and he must be at least in late thirties and the actions he took kidnapping and holding a fifteen-year-old hostage and I do not agree with this but she is 'special' and he was touching her inappropriately and looking at her. It was rather desperate and ..." said Hakuba.
" How many times have I got to tell you that I am not Kaitou Kid " said Kaito.
" Then Kaitou Kid is a paedophile and the police are going to treat him like that and Shinichi might even have to get treatment and I don't want or think she should have it " said Hakuba.
'What the hell have I got into and what am I going to do ? I have ruined Dad`s name and reputation and I did all without thinking of the consequences' thought Kaito.
" Why are you telling me this ? " said Kaito.
" Because it is the right thing to do " said Hakuba.
" So, what are you going to do ? " said Kaito.
" Shinichi is the only one that can really make it clear and maybe just say in her statement that he really did not kiss her and it was all a trick and a stupid one at that. But you have to get her to tell everyone this and Kaitou Kid will have to and it would be better if he stayed as far away from her as possible " said Hakuba.
He almost smiled in relief for amount.
" You planned this from the start from the limo you knew that..." said Kaito.
" What Kuroba that you had very obvious feelings for Shinichi yes I did and I knew that Kaitou Kid had feelings for her he made it so obvious at the Museum and you both did. And your dug your own grave. But since like you said you are not Kaitou Kid so there is nothing to worry about " said Hakuba.
He growled at him.
" She rejected you didn't she! " said Kaito smiling.
Hakuba frowned.
The two of them were about to fight until Aoko was able to get in between them.
" STOP! You two are supposed to friends and you are treating a girl as if she as a trophy to be won and the two of you are not worth her and you should just leave her alone. Leave her alone the both of you " said Aoko standing between the both of them.
" We are not friends! " said both Kaito and Hakuba.
They departed in opposite directions.
Aoko just sighed.
" They are gone " said Shinichi.
This made Aoko jump.
" I did not see you there " said Aoko a then she bit her tongue realizing what she had said.
Shinichi just smiled.
" It is perfectly fine to use certain words they are not bad words to use and there is nothing to worry about " said Shinichi.
" I am sorry about my friends Hakuba he has placed bets with Kaito before about Kaitou Kid but I think that it is just his Detective blood just getting the better of him. And Kaito I have no excuse for him but I think you might just actually be the first girl that he has ever liked and he does not know how to act. So, I guess I just have to apologize for the both of them and hope for the best " said Aoko.
" Well...? " said Shinichi.
" So ? " said Aoko.
" I am not picking either of them " said Shinichi.
" And what about your friend ? Ran ? " said Aoko.
" Does anyone know how to keep a secret it is not that hard! " said Shinichi.
" You keep secrets ? " said Aoko.
Shinichi`s face deadpanned.
" I am a Detective so of course I have to keep secrets " said Shinichi thinking on her feet.
Aoko rubbed the side of her neck nervously.
" Speaking of secrets my Dad told me what Kaitou Kid did at his Heist and I thought it would be best if you talk to someone your age and who is a girl " said Aoko.
Her face was deadpanned.
" Shin-Chan there you are " said Kaito interrupting.
" Kuroba " said Shinichi.
" Bakaito! " said Aoko.
Both said it at the same time.
" Ahoko I just need to borrow Shinichi just for a second! " said Kaito smiling but also giving her puppy dog eyes.
" That is not my choice to make it is Shinichi`s and if you have anything to say to her you can say in front of me " said Aoko.
PUFF
" Today's is Friday with blue and yellow... Wait was Friday yesterday which means! " said Kaito.
Aoko flushed at that moment.
" I need to go! " said Aoko and she ran away looking ashamed not realizing that he was actually lying.
Kaito caught Shinichi`s wrist before she could get away.
" We need to talk please it is important " said Kaito.
" Leave me the hell alone " said Shinichi.
" The both of you " said making air quotes with her fingers.
He sighed.
" Look I promise that I will leave you alone if that is what you want but you need to talk to me first. Please I am begging you from the bottom of my heart " said Kaito.
She frowned at him.
" Fine then but after this I want you out of my life for good " said Shinichi.
" So, talk " said Shinichi.
" Not here it is kind of personal and private " said Kaito.
Then a car strolled up.
" No! " said Shinichi.
" But we have to talk " said Kaito.
" No! " said Shinichi protesting.
" I am not getting in that car " said Shinichi.
" I am not going to kidnap you or anything like that " said Kaito.
" I am sorry so sorry " said Kaito.
There was no way that she was getting in the same car with that old man she did not trust him one bit and she did not get a good vibe from him either. She could feel his stare on her that was barely on her and he was sweating, his heart racing and he was feeling guilty of something. He had done something too horrible and all this emotion was directed at her and when she was around or mentioned. There was just no way that she could trust him and she wanted nothing to do with him. His emotions made her feel sick.
" I will just leave you two alone if that is what you want ? " said Jii.
She scowled at him.
Jii just walked away nervously and scared almost running and he had no idea why.
And as soon as he was gone Shinichi sat in the back seat and locked the doors so Kaito could not get in the back.
" So, I guess that I will just go on front..." said Kaito.
" And drive us out of here " said Kaito already away.
" I am getting fed up with this Kuroba what do you want from me ? " said Shinichi crossing her arms.
He drove out of town without saying a word.
" What have you said to the police or anyone about Kaitou Kid and that kiss ? " said Kaito neutrally.
She glared at him.
" Your grand escape plan I have not said a word well not tell the police if that is what you mean " said Shinichi.
" I said I was sorry " said Kaito.
" But you are not " said Shinichi.
" So, what if I am not " whispered Kaito so quiet not even the sound of pin door could compare to it.
She just rolled her eyes back.
" What do you even want from me ? " said Shinichi.
" I want to apologize I am almost certain that you are not Daredevil and I have checked your medical files. I am sorry I thought you were well maybe faking being blind but since that was the only way that I could think that you could make people think. But I am sorry for thinking that and almost, kind of kidnapping you into think that " said Kaito.
She shook her head in anger.
" They think I am. They think that Kaitou Kid is a paedophile and ..." said Kaito.
Shinichi chuckled darkly.
" You want me to lie to the police to protect you when I told you that I don't want involved on things like this and you are making me again " said Shinichi.
" Then don't do it for me. Do it for my father for his name and his legacy I do not want it to be tarnished because of me " said Kaito.
" I will stay away from you if that is what it takes " said Kaito pleading.
" I want you out and any other form of you and company to stay as far away from me as possible. And stay that way forever because..." said Shinichi.
" I guess...if that is what you want " said Kaito.
" And no using twisted logic like 'I stayed away from you but you did not stay away from me' There will be no pulling strings of any kind. You got it " said Shinichi.
His heart sank in sadness.
" Shin-Chan! " he said.
" Is there anything I can do to get you to change your mind ? " said Kaito almost crying.
" No! " said Shinichi.
" But...! " said Kaito.
" You used me and you went too far " said Shinichi.
" I only kissed you " said Kaito.
She did not say a word and he knew that she was not going to say anything else and he drove the car back without saying anything else.
He stopped to where they started.
" Just tell me what was so wrong with what I did ? " said Kaito.
" You used me because I am blind. I could not see or describe you face to anyone and that is just something that I can never forgive you for using me like that. Even if you did not mean or intend to that is just how it feels to me " said Shinichi.
He was gobsmacked.
She got out of the car quickly.
" Goodbye Kuroba " said Shinichi.
He sat at the wheel with his hands on it shocked.
" Shinichi please wait that is not what I meant to do I did it because... ! " he said getting out.
But she was already gone.
" Shin-Chan ! " he said to himself sadly.
