WOOSH
She was just able to dodge the rubber bullet that was just aimed at her arm and her stomach as if they were just able to disable her just in time or as a warning. And more were aimed and she had to stop and take cover to make sure who it was and she was surprised by who it really was.
" Come out I just want to have some girl talk, come on just girl to girl we can talk it will only take a minute I swear " said Chikage.
Shinichi raised her eyebrow surprised and she was actually caught off by guard of what was currently happening right now and she was not sure what was actually happening. But she was sure as hell not going to go near her and she wanted the hell out of there and the sooner the better. She had better things to do and have a twisted relationship and talk with Kuroba Chikage/ The ex-Lady Phantom thief.
" You know you are the only one that has ever avoided my attack but it has been quite some time since then" said Chikage.
WOOSH
The gun was knocked out of her hand and then landed in the hand of Daredevil along with the cane that was now circling back to Daredevil.
" Ouch that hurt " said Chikage dramatically as she shook her hand in pain as she realized that she broke a nail.
And then she heard him land.
" Mum ? " said a confused Kaito.
" Red ? " said Kaito looking back at the both of them.
" Can someone please tell me what is going on here ? Because I am confused to what the hell is happening right now ? " said Kaito.
" That is what I would like to know "said Daredevil.
Kaito looked at Daredevil who was now holding his mothers weapon in her hand and he just walked over and took it out over her without thinking and handed it back to his mother.
"I just wanted to meet and test your friend here and then maybe have a little chat with her. It would be good to have a girl around the house that has the same skill set as me because I am fed up with it all being males and being the only female, it gets boring. Even if I am the most experienced and semi-retired I wanted to meet the mystery girl that is just a mystery and see her with my own eyes when she is awake. I am fed up with the gossip and listening to the stories that you have told me I would like to hear the other side of it " said Chikage.
She was met with two deadpanned faces.
" You can't be serious! " said Kaito.
" I am perfectly serious I want to meet the girl that you have been mooning about ever since you met her. Since things will not work out with Shin-Chan then I thought it would be good if I got you a partner in crime just like I had one. I thought it would just be best you had the same chance. But you both just needed the right push and I may have gone the wrong way about it now that I think about it I did " said Chikage.
" MUM! " said Kaito shocked.
But he was ignored as his mother approached him and just walked by him.
" Where did she go anyway ? " said Chikage surprised looking around.
" She does at a lot " said Kaito.
" Just like we do to people " she said chuckling.
" Yeah it is not really a good feeling when someone disappears on you when you were just talking to them and they disappear and what is worse you do not even notice it until it is too late " said Kaito casually.
And they both started to laugh.
" Eh ? " said Shinichi as she listened to what they had to say.
She had already taken down five more Organisation members that were trying to get away but they had not succeeded in doing it. But one of them had managed to hit her and another one of them with a truck, killing the other member along with it and leaving her injured but still able to stand.
She stood up swaying with every step but she was able to take the driver out as she hid underneath the truck grabbing onto it and then pulling the driver out. And throwing him onto the ground now beside the dead Organisation member that he had killed. And then knocked him unconscious as he was terrified to what he was seeing. She could see that these were low on Organisation members and did not have a clue to what was happening other than that they were stealing and planting bombs. But they had no idea why they were doing it in the first place.
She collapsed on her knees in pain as she clutched at her shoulder.
" Are you alright ? " said Kaito as he was approaching her.
CRACK
His eye twitched as he heard the sound of the bone going back in to the socket. She had dislocated her shoulder and she had just put it back into place like it was nothing. And she did not answer his question as she just stood up and approached him and he was starting to get scared and he wanted to move but he was too frightened.
" Do not move! You are standing on a bomb and if you move it will go off and we will both die " said Daredevil.
He just gulped as he looked at his feet and he was standing on a piece of wood and he gently rocked it and he then could see the bomb and almost moved without thinking. But he was grabbed and made to stay still as he started to process what was happening and the fact that he might die.
" I am getting fed of saving you countless times because you keeping screwing up and you should know not to follow me " said Daredevil.
He just pouted, he really was a damsel in distress.
She was currently going through his pockets and was taking out his lock picking tools and other things.
" What are you doing ? " he said looking down.
" Shut up you are still moving " said Daredevil.
She closed her eyes and focused everything on the bomb, everything making sure that she would not make a single mistake. And she was able to do her best but the bomb was still going to go off no matter what she did. She disabled to touch and changed it to a timer instead because that was the only option that she could make.
" MOVE! " she ordered screaming.
He just nodded and obeyed.
She then grabbed the bomb and held it in her arms as she only had a couple of minutes left but she could hear someone else coming.
" GET DOWN! " she screamed.
BANG
He was just able to dodge the bullet as he ducked own.
And then as he stood up and he watched the man walk victoriously as he was putting a gun on his shoulder and smiling as if he was given a prize that he was not expecting.
It was Snake.
And then he started to laugh.
" Daredevil is a girl. I was not expecting this but this is so much better than I could ever dream " said Snake.
She was shocked for a second and then was made and was ready to attack.
" Now, now their sweetie you are holding a bomb there and I am guessing it is about to go off. So, you might want to stay still or I will just get a little trigger happy and there will be pink smoke in the air. But sadly, it will just be you instead of a childish little trick " said Snake.
" Snake I am your enemy not Daredevil " said Kaitou Kid.
And Snake was now looking at him.
" And tell me Toichi, what are you willing to trade for her life because it is all in danger because of you ? " said Snake hissing.
He did not know what to do.
" What do you want ? " he said.
" Remove her mask, I want to see who exactly who and what I am dealing with here and then you are both free to go " said Snake.
And Snake threw the remote control at him to disable the bomb.
" That will be disable the bomb but you will just need to correct combination first or she will die just like that. You have two minutes and counting " said Snake.
He caught it gracefully in his hand and looked at it.
He could now see red gun lights on himself and on Daredevil he could see that it was all one big trap.
" Just like that ? " said Kaitou Kid.
Snake was now walking towards Daredevil smiling.
" Just like that " he said.
Daredevil just smiled.
" You are lying, always lying " she said.
And then Kaito watched as she threw one of his lock picks at Snake, hitting him in the hand that was still in his pocket.
" BITCH! " screamed Snake.
He was not able to move his hand and that way he could not pull the trigger that would blow up the 'remote control' that was meant for the bomb. He watched as Daredevil approached him with a smile on her face.
But he was able to do one more thing.
" Arghh " she screamed as she felt the needle go into her leg.
" You didn't see that one coming did you! " he said.
" Ketamine! " she said as the needle dropped to the ground as she did.
Snake started to take the lock pick out of hand but he could not because it was into deep and was also in his leg and was hurting his nerves. It was put in perfectly and his hand was numb and his leg was starting to go as well.
" More than enough to take a horse down and just more than enough to take you down " he said.
He growled in anger.
He looked at Daredevil beside him she was scrambling to get up and he could hear Kaitou Kid soon approaching. He had only one go and he grabbed her pulling her forward and his goal was to remove the mask.
" Arggh " he screamed in pain as he was electrocuted.
" You are all alone now " she said smiling.
And she was able to punch him unconscious before the drug was able to take full effect.
" Red! " said Kaitou Kid as he helped her to her feet and put her arm around his shoulder.
He could hear her breath getting heavier by every single second.
" I need to d-deal with the bomb or it will explode " said Daredevil.
She did her best to stand straight up as she picked the bomb up but he took it out of her hands and she was starting to feel numb and she was starting to lose it.
" Are you nuts you have been just given an almost fatal dose and you are falling to pieces I will deal with it. I will just throw it into the water and I am taking you ..." he said.
He watched in horror as she stuck another one of his lock picks into her leg.
" That will stop it spreading and take some of it out " said Daredevil.
He was in shock and she was able to take the bomb out of his hands.
Using her club, she took out the grappling hook and attached the bomb to it and then swung it into the air and let both of them go.
BOOM
It exploded within seconds.
" Eep " he said thinking that could have been him.
And then she collapsed to the ground and he watched in horror as she was taking a seizure and spasms at the same time. He held her closely as he thought she was going to be sick at any moment and he did not want her to choke on it or her tongue.
He was panicking he did not know what to do in a situation like this.
" Kaito! " he saw his mother running towards them.
" Mum? " he said shocked.
" Sorry I got here to late but someone had to take out the others and call the police, who are now coming so we need to leave and leave now " said Chikage.
" We can't leave her like this " said Kaito.
Chikage looked at the girl that was shaking uncontrollably and then the needle it was easy to work out what had just happened.
" Grab her and let's get the hell out of here " said Chikage.
But then she saw Snake and then everything changed in that moment.
" Snake! " she said with clear hatred in her voice.
She was now looking at the man that murdered her husband in cold blood and she watched him die thinking it was all one of his magic tricks. And she remembered the smiling disappearing on her face when she saw the blood and the stench that she could never forget it was all too horrifying and she was now looking at the man that caused this.
And she pulled out one of the guns that she collected that was pointed at her at her son and the girl that was in his arms shaking because of that cold-blooded bastard that was now at her feet unconscious. And now was her chance for justice, now was her chance for revenge and get what she wanted at that was the man that killed her husband dead by her own hand.
" Mum No! If you kill him then ..." said Kaito.
" Then he will be gone and he can never come back and we will be free and he can finally rest in peace and it will be all over. We will be free at last " said Chikage pointing the gun.
Kaito put his hand on the gun and his other hand on his mother shoulder to try and stop her and reassure her.
But it was too late they both watched in horror as the gun went off and they were about to become cold blooded killers just like the man that they were about to kill.
BANG
She was just able to stop the bullet in time but to do this she had to use her head to do this and that meant that her mask was now cracked and would now break. And soon would show her true face and she did not want that more than anything and what was worse the drug was still taking affect and she was finding it harder to focus more than ever. As the sound of the bullet was affecting her hearing and the bullet had it her harder than she thought it would and it was right on the forehead almost execution style and she could feel the bullet just a millimetre away from her skin.
Both Kuroba`s stood shocked and speechless.
The only thing she could think to do was take them both out with one swoop quick kick and she did knocking the both of them to the ground and she was now legging it as best as she could.
But with her muscles weakened and things were all going weird.
" Shin-Chan " said her mother's voice sadly.
But she just ran past it as fast as she could not be looking back almost seeing her mother's face and hearing gentle voice was like a stab in the heart. She was now running away from the problems from her pasts and present.
" NO! " she just kept on repeating as she stumbled in the dark so was no longer able to concentrate.
And she fell to the ground in pain as she took the pin out of her leg. The pin had help take most of the drug out but it was still in her system and would last for a least another twenty minutes. Well she thought it would be that long because the time passing had already felt like ten years and she just wanted it to over.
She hid in the darkness as she threw her mask off as it started to fall apart, just leaving it behind to be forgotten and so that she could collect it later. Right now, she needed the breathing space.
" RED! " he called trying to find her desperate.
He got to his feet rubbing the side of his face not caring about the enormous pain that he was in. He had to find her and make sure that she was fine because he had the feeling that she was not and he had actually saw fear on her face just for a second.
He looked back and his mother was gone and so was Snake.
He knew enough about Ketamine to know that she would not be alright and the sad fact that it had only been in her system for five minutes at the most and by the looks of it was at fast. He saw a blood trail and he decided to follow it because he knew that it would lead to her and as he did he stopped underneath a bridge that was just pitch-black underneath and he could not see a single thing. He knew that she would be under here because this was where the blood ended and she was an expert in the dark like a creature of the night.
" Red I just want to help you " said Kaito.
He tripped on something and fell to the ground taking his monocle along with him and smashing to the ground.
" Her mask " he said moving his hand against it as he could feel the bullet that was lodged in it and was a killer shot.
And pulled it out and looked at it in his hand, it was now destroyed and she was no longer wearing a mask. This was his chance to see her face and to know if it was Shinichi or not but he did not want to take advantage of the unfortunate timing because it was just not fair.
" Red I know you are here and I here to help I swear " said Kaito.
And he then heard her heavy breathing and it was get worse as he started to approach her.
" Get away from me! " she screamed and threw a rock at him.
But he was just able to dodge it and he knew instantly that she was off her game. And that meant she was vulnerable and she was the one that would need protected right now because she could not protect herself.
She sat with her head in her knees because she was starting to have visions of dead people and what she thought of what they would look like. She was being haunted and she did not like any of it or what they had to say it was just horrible and she could barely handle any more of it.
" Leave me alone " she screamed.
He walked over avoiding the rocks that were currently being thrown.
" Are you even aiming for me ? " he said to himself.
The rocks were now being stopped throwing at him.
" They murdered you Mum, Dad " said Daredevil in despair.
He was gobsmacked and he then realized what was happening.
" It is only a hallucination there is nothing to worry about I am here for you " he said trying to find her in the dark.
She pushed him to the ground the moment he touched her.
" Calm down I cannot see you it is too dark to see anything down here. But I can feel you heart racing and I am not going anywhere until the drug wears off and I am sure that you think are fine. But because I know that you, are not " said Kaito.
She stood up as best as she could.
" Go away I will be fine " said Daredevil.
" You are barely disguising your voice and I can hear your knees and teeth chattering I am not going anywhere " he said.
She grabbed him by the collar and lifted him off his feet to in the air.
" Ah! " she fell to her knees in pain.
While he just dropped gracefully onto his and sat beside her.
" I am here so get used to it " said Kaito.
" Get the hell away from me " said Daredevil.
" Make me! " he said challengingly.
But she could barely move now.
He sat on the ground beside her and started to hug her.
" G-get off me " she protested.
He felt her pulse and it was racing.
" Don't worry it will wear off soon you have nothing to worry about " said Kaito.
And eventually he was able to get her to calm down and start to comfort her as best as he could even if he would end up being black and blue.
She was now starting and pass in and out.
" Sorry " said Shinichi.
" Hey it is ok, there is nothing to be sorry about " said Kaito.
Hugged her and he then accidentally touched something that he should not have again.
" Sorry that I keep doing that " said Kaito sheepishly.
" It is f-fine I guess " said Shinichi.
" Thank You " she said and then kissed him on the cheek making him blush.
He was then shocked by what was happening.
She was kissing on the neck and moved towards his lips in a very steamy way and he kissed back. To him and this was officially the best make out of his life as he started to kiss her back and as he closed his eyes and ran his fingers through her hair as he pulled her forward. He could not help but feel guilty because he felt like he was taking advantage of her at a moment that she was very vulnerable and she might not even know what the hell was happening. He decided that he would end the kiss and their lips parted and he regretted it instantly that they were not kissing anymore but he knew it was for the best.
He stood up nervously and started to pace.
" Ok if you want to do that again then I am so up for it. But I will only do it when you are yourself and not all drugged up " he said rambling.
He then paced for another two minutes without saying anything.
" Oh, my aching head " said Shinichi clutching her head.
She was feeling dizzy and she was not sure what was happening.
She stood up and she just felt like the room was spinning and all her senses were spinning as well like she was on a rollercoaster and they just kept getting faster and faster. And then they stopped suddenly like she just stopped on the ride. And it took a moment but she was able to focus again after the tingling feeling in her body.
And then she felt someone behind and then they kissed her on the cheek and put their arms around her lovingly.
And now she was starting to panic as she was frightened and she did not want this any of this.
" Calm down it is only me " said Kaito.
She shook from his grip and almost fell to the ground but she was able to save herself from falling to ground.
" Red it is me you need to calm down now " said Kaito.
She shook her head and then touched her face.
" W-what is happening ? " she said.
She realized that she was wearing her Daredevil outfit but she was not wearing her mask and she could feel something in her body but she could not remember much of what was happening.
" I did not drug you if that is what you are thinking. It was Snake remember. Please remember! " he said pleading.
" My mask where is it " said Shinichi.
" Broken " said Kaito but he handed it to her anyway.
The smell of the gun.
The shape and size of the bullet and the feeling she was getting from it.
She was horrified.
She could feel the drug in her system and the fact that she had a concussion her senses were not fully alert and they would not be for a while.
She dropped it on the ground in shock and forgot about it completely.
" I did not see your face if that was what you were thinking...please believe me " said Kaito.
" I do " she said.
He was so happy that he hugged her.
" Don't touch me, please " said Daredevil begging.
It was clear that she could not remember and he was not happy with this. He had finally gotten what he wanted but she did not even remember or know about it and he could not blame her for it because it was not her fault.
He could see that she was starting to recover and she was going to be fine and that was a good thing, well there was at least that.
" Tell me what happened! " she said.
And he quickly told her what had happened minus the kiss and the part of her being vulnerable and the fact that he had comforted her and she confessed that her parents had been murdered.
" Look Kaito... I." she said nervously.
" It is ok we can go back and forget this whole thing ever happened and I will do my best to keep out of your way from now on " said Kaito.
She bit her lips together as she was about to talk and she could feel that they had been touched by someone else's and she knew that feeling and taste before.
" Huh! " she breathed shocked.
And this sent a shiver a down his spine because he knew that she had already figured out what happened and he was afraid of what her reaction was going to be and what she was going to do. And worst of all he was scared of what she feeling emotionally and what was going through her mind.
" Who started it ? " she said shocked.
" You " he said nervously.
He started to back away.
She could feel the wave and fear of his heartbeat as he started to sweat and he was terrified of her.
'No,.no this can't be happening!' she said inside her head panicking inside.
She was not willing to show this not one bit.
He then took a step forward hopeful.
But she took a step backwards instead.
He handed her his card gun.
" Since you lost your weapon then you will be needing one and I have spare ones that I can use anyway " he said.
PUFF
" A blue rose for the lovely lady " said Kaito as he put it in her hair.
But he could tell that she was confused and panicking inside.
" Sorry but my job is too important to me and I just can't do this " said Daredevil.
She handed him the rose and card gun.
And she was ready to leave as quick as she could.
Click.
" What the hell do you think you are doing ? " said Daredevil.
She shook the handcuffs that was currently attached to her wrist and the other was attached to him.
" You are not going anywhere until I get answers I am tired of waiting and you are not escaping because not even I can escape these just yet so. Sorry but even if you come to hate me "said Kaito.
" Let me go NOW! I am not yours to control not yours, not " she ordered.
He clicked his tongue.
" I am sorry I was not thinking ..." said Kaito as he put the key in the handcuffs and let her go as quickly as he could.
" Young Master " called Jii.
Kaito turned around for a second and then saw a torch aimed at his face and then he realized that she was gone already.
Snake had managed to escape and she did not like this.
She did her best to look for anything that she could and that could possibly link him to this and just maybe she would be lucky and find something. But she was shocked when she came across a stick and she knew who it belonged to. It was broken and split into and looked different, one bit of it was red and the other was a stick used for someone blind and she only knew one person that was. She immediately grabbed the evidence and put it into her bag making sure that no one else would or could find it as she searched the entire thing making sure there was not any bug attached to it. And there was not and if there was they would have been fried by now because of the explosion and her stupidity.
She had to leave and leave soon because for almost a moment she thought she had killed the man that murdered her husband and made her son apart of it by accident. And as soon as the trigger went off she regretted it and wanted to thank her for stopping the bullet.
And the only way she could do this was by help keeping her secret and she would keep it from everyone including her son because she owed the girl so much and needed to start to make up for it. She knew that Shinichi was Daredevil and she was going to make sure that no one else knew.
Because of her actions tonight she knew that she needed a fresh start and to gather herself and think. Give the others the peace that they needed to do the work they needed and the space to do and she was going to leave the country to do it. She was going to do what she could do to help and that was gather information in secret and just maybe check so diamond in secret for herself. And she was not going to let her husband's legacy and name die just as easily she was going to make it her mission for everyone to know and to remember him.
