He was left speechless by what she was saying and as he took it all in he was not sure what to believe anymore because his mother had told him it was an 'accident' is what she called it. She said it was a house fire and they died when she was five years old and Shinichi was lucky to escape, very luck by the sound of it.
" Shinichi ? " he said almost whispering it.
He wanted to comfort her right now but he also wanted the truth.
All he was seeing was her shaking her head as she covered her face with her hands as her head was still lowered and in her hands. She was still laughing but he did not like the way she was laugh or the way it was sounding. He stepped closer to her and crouched down looking at her face and took one of her hands away so he could see her face.
But all he received was a punch in the throat.
" Hmph " he said trying to breathe.
He danced around trying to catch a breath and regain normality as he was almost, definitely close to blacking out any second. But he took control of himself and was able to stay conscious and calmly sit down, he knew that this might happen and he was ready for the rest of it to come. He was ready for the punches and kicks, but he did not know if he really was ready for the truth.
" My Mum said it was an accident, why would she lie to me ? " said Kaito.
" You're the 'Detective' work it out for yourself " said Shinichi sarcastically.
He was getting frustrated now.
" Shinichi, I want answers and I want them now, you owe me that much " said Kaito.
" I owe you nothing, nothing at all " said Shinichi.
He sat down crossing his arms and sat silently clicking his tongue as he just leaned back in the seat, then starting to hum some random songs that would pop into his head. He was doing this to annoy and frustrate her into talking to him again because she had not said another word in the past fifteen minutes to him or even acknowledged his existence. He was going to give up soon but he could see that it was starting to work and he was beginning to get to her by annoying her. So, he began to make it louder and energy into it and before he knew it he was singing a song tunefully and he was on his feet dancing to his own voice, that he had put on record as he was listening to a recorder. He could not beat in a fight he knew that for sure but he sure as hell could be more annoying than her and he was going to us that to all his advantage. Because if one person could make someone talk just by annoying then he was the King of that because he already knew he annoyed the hell out of her already and so easily. She was going to tell him to 'shut up' any second and he could carry the conversation on from there.
And he then started to click his fingers and he then whistled the loudest that he could possibly could.
" Argghh! " screamed Shinichi in pain as she covered her ears.
" Was that even necessary " said Shinichi.
" Sorry " said Kaito.
She was getting fed up and could not take it anymore.
" I am going home " said Shinichi.
But he stood right in front of her.
" Not until the Doc gets back and has another look at you " said Kaito.
But she was not even listening to him and just pushed him aside walking out the room trying to find her way out as she held onto the walls.
" Drugged me! Again! " said Shinichi mad.
He caught her just in time before she fell to the ground.
" It was to take the pain away and I am not going to apologize for something like that because you were in pain and needed help so suck it up, grouchy " said Kaito.
And picked her up again.
" Put me down Kuroba " said Shinichi.
But he just ignored her.
"Shinichi just tell me the truth or I will pester you for the rest of your life or better yet I will tell on you to your parents, who clearly do not know the truth about your little night job. And they will stop you and take you away, stopping you from what to do and putting an end to it all. I know who over protective they can be, when I met them that man really seems to hate my guts and would do just about anything to keep you away from me " said Kaito.
She just looked away.
" Oh, come on it can't be that bad, I am sure ..." said Kaito.
" Ask your mother " said Shinichi.
" You keep saying that " he said nervously.
" I will show up every day after school with flowers and make everyone think at you are my girlfriend or I will do it just to make you my girlfriend, still yet to decide on that one really " said Kaito.
She did not seem impressed.
He took of his hat and started to scratch his head nervously as he went through his hair.
" Why do you hate my mother and Jii so much ? ...And you hate Kaitou Kid a lot as well... this is not about me being a thief or any other stuff like that. This is actually about me isn't it and my family. This is personal you know more than you are saying about my Father's death ...tell me Shin-Chan I need to know are their deaths connected or something. Was it... " said Kaito.
" Stop calling me that " said Shinichi.
He just shrugged his shoulders.
She just shook her head and face palmed.
" Fine then if you really want to know I will tell you want to know but I am warning you right now it will change the way you see your life and your parents " said Shinichi.
" Fine then, shoot! " said Kaito.
" This is not something to take lightly " said Shinichi.
I do not care about that " said Kaito.
" Well I do when you find out something like this you will never forget about it and believe me you can't forget something like this. You are better off not knowing and just carry on with what you are doing because you really do not need to know why I..." said Shinichi.
" Enough stalling Shinichi, I need to know so I can put an end to the voices in my head " said Kaito.
Shinichi breathed in deeply.
" My parents were undercover agents and they were in the Organisation for a couple of years and they fell in love with each other and my Mum soon got pregnant with me. They knew that they would be undercover for a good couple of years but when I came along they knew that I could not be part of it. Even though their Bosses thought that it would a great idea to raise me there and make me a part of it all, so that it would be all more believable but they did not want that for me so with the help of an unknown friend of theirs they were able to fake their deaths and escape and have a normal life " said Shinichi.
Kaito took it all in and looked puzzled.
" So, then what happened ? " said Kaito.
" They ran into an Organisation member who knew them and he wanted their help getting out as well and to escape the Organisation for good " said Shinichi.
He saw that she took a pause from what she was saying.
" Who was it ? " said Kaito.
" Shinichi ?, Do I know this person ? " said Kaito.
" It was your Father " said Shinichi.
He froze in shock at that moment.
He was not believing what she was saying, he could just not believe a word that she was saying because if it was true then everything he knew... was a lie. But if she was telling the truth then he needed to know more because they had to be more to the story, they just had to be.
He was mad and he was mad at her for telling him this.
" Even though it was an accident you Father unknowingly, I know it was not his fault that they would run into another Organisation member but that member was the one that killed my family " said Shinichi.
" It was a mistake Shinichi " said Kaito.
" He knew what would happen to my parents and he stood by and did nothing. He let my parents burn to death in a house while they slept happily as they were preparing for a new life. Not even giving them a warning or anything and they were willing to risk everything to help him and your family because they knew he was not a bad guy just stupid guy that got in over his head " said Shinichi.
She sighed.
" I was lucky to even to escape alive without any physical scars but part of me always wished that I had died in that fire that way at least I would be with them " said Shinichi.
He put his hand on her shoulder at that moment trying to comfort her and he was now regretting more than anything asking her to tell him the truth as he could see the heartache that it was causing her. And that it was taking everything that she had and sheer will power just to keep herself together, she was a much different person than he had thought she was. And that was when he realized just how much little he actually knew about her or how she felt, operated and just how much an impact that this had actually taken on her. He had made her vulnerable by making her talk and weakening the shield that she clearly built up for something like this.
" And when Kaitou Kid was brought back after that...I just could not forgive and it has taken everything in me not to rip off that monocle and mask off your face. Everything that you... arghh " said Shinichi.
There was a moment of silence.
She exploded all of the anger that she had kept at bay was building up at this one moment, she made it clear she did not want to talk about it. But no, he kept on asking and just would not give up until she talked and made her face what had happened all over again by talking about it. Just talking about it made her angry but having to say it when she had never actually said it out loud or told anyone was the last straw she could no longer hold down her anger. And it was unleashing itself all at once and she could barely keep it back, he just had to keep chipping at the wall because he could not leave her alone like she wanted to be in the first place. He just had to go and make everything complicated.
She did not like emotion as she kept them buried and since meeting him it was like he was holding a shovel and burying them all up again. She did not like this because she considered most of feelings already dead and buried in the ground and gone for good. Now he was digging up the grave and she did not like this one bit.
" Why did you have to continue with THIS ? " said Shinichi.
She was now on her feet and mad with him as she walked forward to him as he stepped back, backing into a wall.
" Do you have any idea just ...what the hell you have done ? " said Shinichi.
" I...? " said Kaito.
"The reason they came back here was all because of you, because Kaitou Kid came back out of what they think is hiding. They returned back to Japan looking for you to kill you and get you out of the way. They got more power because of your return getting their nose into the law because of YOU and your antics more help was needed and they made their way through this worming their way through " said Shinichi.
She was getting madder by the second.
" Murders piled up, crimes, poverty, everything just got worse and it was all the round the tie you just had to play thief. If you never put that on then chances where I would never have found out the truth about my parents and I f-fucking never would have become the monster that I am today " screamed Shinichi.
She punched the wall angrily making a hole in it as she just barely missed his head on purpose taking her anger out on the wall instead of hitting him.
" I HATE YOU " she screamed.
He was now scared of her.
" Shinichi please! " said Kaito closing his eyes.
She took her fist out of the wall and began to walk away.
" Just stay out my way " said Shinichi.
He shook his head.
" We need to work together on this " said Kaito.
She looked at him with her eyes blazing.
" Snake! Knows I am a girl because of you which makes it only a matter of time before they work out who I am ...Do not touch me...I am more and likely to die at his hands because of you or be captured by his goons " said Shinichi removing his arm.
" Do you have any idea what the hell you have caused me the moment you entered my life when I told you to stay the hell away from me. You caused me more trouble and saving your life so many times nearly cost mine more than once. I have scars that I do not want because of you and new enemies to add to the list that did not even knew that I existed until YOU. And my friends you turned my life upside down and you never once thought of what I wanted only what you wanted and needed " said Shinichi.
She then heard a car stopping and the sound of keys in someone's hands walking in the street humming happily along.
" Your Doctor friend is coming back...I am done talking about this and to you so let's just this the hell over with and we both can go our separate ways " said Shinichi.
She lied back on the bed.
" Shinichi, I am not going to give up..." said Kaito.
But the sound of the key in the door stopped him and he put his Poker Face back on ready to act out what he had to.
" Oh, and she thinks that you are my beautiful assistant and girlfriend, so play along " said Kaito whispering to her.
He put his arm around lovingly and smiled as the mega fan walked back in the door.
" Oh, she is finally awake... This is great...I need to get a picture of the three of us " said the mega fan.
Shinichi gave him a 'Are You Serious' look which just made his smile grow even bigger and wider as he moved in closer.
" Sorry my lady but I have to take this one home before people start to get suspicious you were gone longer than you said and I can only apologize for our leaving at this time " said Kaitou Kid apologetic as he bowed and kissed her hand handing her a flower.
Mega fan just nodded crazily.
" Here " said mega fan.
Shinichi was handed the medication that she would need along with another stick that she could use and a pair of special Ray-ban glasses that must have cost a fortune.
" Thank You...I..." said Shinichi.
She was shocked and caught off guard by the kind gestured not sure what to do next.
" You are Welcome " said mega fan.
Kaito then kissed her on the cheek bring her back into reality. Kaito
" Now Honey we got to get going before the winds stops blowing " said Kaitou Kid.
He picked her up bridal style as he opened the window then quickly jumped out without saying another word.
They were now alone and high in the sky.
" Shinichi, I know that most of that was anger that was built up over a long time of ... pain and not being able to trust and that was not really you. But we need to talk, and I mean really talk about this, so I am taking you home and we can talk about this in a couple of days when you have calmed down. And after I have talked to my mother all about this and this time I swear I will not tell anyone your secret not even my loved ones " said Kaito.
" I am done talking and I am just done " said Shinichi.
The next thing he knew that she was out of his grip and gone, just gone as he was passing through the clouds not able to see a single thing and when he passed them she was gone. She was no longer in his arms and she was nowhere to be seen and he was worried sick thinking that she had just jumped to her death committing suicide had crossed his mind for a second. And then he thought that she had fallen accidentally or that he had dropped her but all he knew for sure that he was worried sick.
" SHINICHI! " he screamed at the top of his lungs as he went down lowering into the sky.
He searched crazily but he could not see her for a single second.
She managed to get home after a lot of hard work and without anyone seeing her before the streets were full of people and before the day really began.
She entered the house with the door opened and a worried Agasa already there and a waiting for her return.
He hugged her instantly with tears streaming down his face.
" I am perfectly fine and I am going to bed " said Shinichi
Then she stopped for a moment and took a USB stick out of a draw.
" If anything happens to me everything that I know about that thief and his family are on it do with it what you will " said Shinichi.
He just nodded nervously.
" Mum how did Shinichi's parents really die ? " he asked his mother.
His mothers face froze at the that moment.
But it took him several more to realize that the screen had frozen and then blank.
She was either avoiding him or just some bad luck or both.
But he was not going to give up being Kaitou Kid not just when it brought a lot of good things with it and made so many others happy, he was not ready for that and she did not give him a shred of evidence.
And he would wait until she gave him the evidence and he got a confession from his mother about all of this so it could clear it all up and he could make a decision from there.
He could wait a couple of day or better yet a couple of weeks until she calmed down it did only take her so long to and then forgive like nothing had happened. But this time it was feeling different and it was feeling like he would never see her again but he was just ignoring this.
He already had a target and just had to plan it all out and he could meet her in Beika again where she would be more and like to kick his ass again. He could wait because everything was just going to be fine.
Shinichi just went to bed.
She was exhausted and had not had a proper rest which felt like in a long time and it was the weekend she did not have any plans. She searched her memory nothing came to mind but it was like she was forgetting something but drawing up a blank.
She shook her head and gave up as her head it the pillow she fell almost straight asleep after she took the medicine that she was given.
In another part of the town as someone talked onto the phone to another person.
" The thief brought the girl you talked about "
" Is the girl still there ? "
" No, they left just shortly "
" I want a name "
" And I want my money "
" You will get it "
" The injuries? "
" Exactly how you said they were "
There was silence but she could feel a smile on the other end.
" He said that they were a couple but..."
" You do not believe she feels for him the way he does for her "
She just nodded.
"She seemed cold and disinterested in him like she hated him "
" And I like she punched a hole in my wall and she did not even injure her hand "
"And considering her injuries she should not be able to even be awake yet even able to walk and throw a punch "
" If he brings her back call us next time and keep them there until we get there we do not care what happens just make sure ..."
" I do want to do this anymore ...I am sorry but I cannot do this "
" We will be finished when I say we are or we you give us a name "
" He never said and look I have no idea who she is ... but she is in her thirties with short black hair "
And then she hung up.
Silently on another roof top he took out the silencer.
BANG
It was so quiet no one had heard it and she did not see it coming as she fell to the floor and hit her head on the marble counter hitting her head in the same place the bullet had hit her.
With one strike, she was dead.
And she would not be found for a couple more days as she took a leave for absence to go on holiday.
And when she was found it was thought to be an unfortunate accident and that was all anyone would ever think it was because no one would ever find out the truth of what had happened. They would all go about their days to days thinking that she had died in one of those freak accidents that happen single day.
