Shinichi his Shin-Chan had disappeared from the world and it was there was a magic trick being shown of her being the magicians beautiful assistant and the magician makes her disappear for his act.
He was expecting for her to be on the rooftop and beating him senseless or to sense if he had any to give in first place so that had explained so many things in his life and his current life choices of so many right now.
He was expecting to see her Daredevil there but Daredevil had not been seen or heard from in quite some time either and that had him worried as hell. He was worried sick about her and he had to make sure that she was alright but also that she was alive and well because he was starting to think the worst could have happened.
He had not seen or heard from her in quite some time and the last time it had not gone to well because of what she had told him and the secret that he had found out that she had been hiding and quite well from him too. On hiding that she was a Vigilante she had done it quite well and he loved that she had tricked him so well but was slightly annoyed that he had not seen it before or had figured it out sooner. He was also annoyed that his mother had actually figured it out and had not told him, keeping it from him.
Now all he could think about was her in a tight red outfit not the actual thing that she had been wearing but something else with horns and maybe sometimes a tail.
Stopping think those thoughts, dark thoughts warm and ...stopping thinking those thoughts.
Instead he was shocked to find a small little girl there that was adorable but wearing a giant and he meant giant pair of glasses that were way too big for her face, way too big for her.
She was all alone and he was worried about her so he had actually just strolled right up to her without even thinking that it could possibly be a trap that Nakamori or more likely Hakuba had set up because he was worried about her being outside all alone.
Also for some reason the little girl reminded him of someone that he could not think of but she also reminded him of an innocent version of himself.
So, when she set the firework off he had caught him completely off guard and if it was not for his Poker Face he would have completely looked like a right idiot. His Poker Face Vs the little girls were not a competition at all because he was able to see right through it within seconds and he was not the fool that she was trying to trick.
Even if she did manage to set off the firework giving away his exact location to send in the Calvary and just like she wanted in the first place. So, he could call it a tie since she did manage to get what she wanted and a short conversation with him as well as he managed to escape at the same time and fooling her at the same time. So, they both managed to fool each other and the game had just begun.
She called herself a Detective.
She was far too young to be a Detective and roaming about the street at all hours of the night but something was telling him that there was definitely something more to this girl so he would have to give her an equal shot like he did with everyone else.
He tried to be nice to her and walk her home because he could not let his latest Detective be kidnapped by some stranger when he had a Heist and he had challenged her. And if she was kidnapped there was just no way that he could challenge her and No gets her on a KID Heist because that is the rules and no should get hurt because they attended one.
He only offered to walk her home and across the dangerous road and she was here threatening him with screaming her lungs out because of stranger danger which would bring the police and he would be arrested. It was something that he did not picture in his entire career of him getting caught and arrested because of so he had to forfeit and let her go.
But he did keep an eye on her and he was more than surprised to see where and who she was living with so there was far more to this little girl and he was excited to find out. But he was not looking forward to waiting because waiting was always the worst part and that was all he could do because he did not know if the next step would completely work and only hope that what he had delivered would deliver what he needed.
If it was not for the little girl the whole night would have been a complete waste of a night because it would have been dull night and it was all just for a fake a shiny fake that was too obvious of a fake.
They wished that it was that shiny but he is not an idiot because he actually knows a thing or two, far more than they do and Inspector Nakamori does as well.
But since Shinichi did not appear in any sort of form and had not been sighted for quite some time he had to find out where she was. So, he made a phone call to his Mother so that she would make a visit to her friends so that they would now that she was missing. Or to see that she was with them because he had overheard a few things that she might be leaving or on a case and he had to be sure that she was because he was scared for her.
It took a week to find out but he did find out that she was with her parents and that she was fine that everything was fine. That was all she was told and when he asked if he could speak with her or ask some things he was told that it would be better that he stay away for a while because she was going through some things. That she needed sometime away to deal with the things that were in her life and that she needed space from everything and she was taking a break.
She did not want anyone to know about anything and he knew that she had secret so he had to keep it that way because he did not know if her parents knew her secrets because he had the feeling that they did not because she did not share it with them or with anyone.
Few things were said but it sounded like she had a breakdown and she was not able to handle things that had happened. And he blamed himself for this happening because she told him to leave her alone and warned him by threatening him several times but in the end, she was the one that she was hurt instead.
But he was just going to have to get past that because if she was out then there would be no one dealing with The Organisation. He could not blame her for getting out when she did because the secret of her hiding that she was a girl was blown and he just knew that was the end of that. He could apologize to her later when she would reappear again and they could have a little chat about it all then, when she was not so mad with him.
He hated waiting and beside he did have a dress that needed to be picked up.
The girl was just sitting there carefree and had no clue that he was there her name Edowaga Christie, he really needed to remember that. But the name did not seem to match her and she seemed like a made-up name or one that you would just pick out of thin air. But then again, his name was Kaito which meant thief and if he added a U to it that and the word KID instead of Kuroba then it would make up his other name and that would be bad if anyone had noticed this.
Strangely the perfectionist freak Hakuba either did not notice this because he had not pointed it out at all and he likes pointing out a lot of annoying things like that. Plus, Shinichi had noticed that as a joke, which made him stupidly confess that he was KID to her. And it made him wonder did she already know that he was KID ?...Yes, she did.
So, all he had to was make a phone call to say that it had been cancelled and that was the start of his new challenger.
KID Vs a kid
This one was going to be interesting and he wanted to challenge someone new he just never thought it would be a child, the irony of it was painfully hilarious and so many joke that he had made about it that he exhausted himself.
There was only one thing bad about this Heist and that was it was on a Ship. And a Ship meant water which is a giant river and that means his worst enemy of them all and greatest of fears that he was potentially facing and fearing ...FISH!
Those evil little buggers that he was going to have to do his best to avoid at all costs and that was all costs.
Smiling and waddling about he was the richest man on the ship something that he had never been before. Plus, he was also the Father to one of his latest enemies. He was the Father of two daughters and he had a wife and lots of money that he would never in his life be able to count all of. Not that he would actually try and count every single penny of it in a large volt that he could not see the end of and dive into like scrooge McDuck on the TV. But that did sound kind of interesting to do and he did want to do it in the future and with all these rich people there was the possibility that someone did have one in their home.
But in no time at all his disguise was figured out by the Brat at the worst timing possible and it was all because of his enemy.
Well he did have a pacific disguise in mind ad it was not because he was jealous or anything like that and wanted some kind of revenge or one up on her.
Also, it was the easiest disguise to go by because he already had the face for it and just had to make some heavy alternations to the disguise because Aoko had a flat chest and still had a flat chest.
Mouri did not have a flat chest.
He was not a pervert he was just high observant because he had to be so that he would be able to get every single detail to be exact and perfect so that no one would notice. Everything just had to be perfect because it just had to be.
He was lying in with for his prey because the kid was looking for him and the Mouri girl was looking for the little girl. It was almost to perfect too easy for him to do and was possibly the easiest one he had yet.
All he had to do was move a piece of pink fabric around the corner.
" Christie ? " called out Ran.
It was perfect his had caught her attention and she was just needed to cross the corner and that would be it.
PUFF
He was able to smoke out and knock out his love rival in no time at all.
He was not jealous.
Now all he had to do was move her but where ?
He did not tie up girls in case he touched something that he should not have and somehow it seemed inappropriate and he was a gentleman. This was something that he did not want to do and would be bad if he did it. He was going to put her the same way that he had got onto the ship in the first place and had been for quite some time while he was casing that place.
He was just going to put her on one of the boats and cover her up with one the tarps to keep her hidden and also to keep her warm. He may not have liked her or did want to like her because of what they were both interested but he would never ever want her to get a cold or sick. Though that would not be so bad if Hakuba did get a cold that was just wishful thinking though.
And he was in easy as pie, speaking of pie he quickly grabbed a piece before joining everyone else.
Now to watch the show.
He so hated copycats and people that copied his act so that they could line their own pockets with money making a cheap imitation of the one and only Kaitou Kid and that was him.
He was the second generation in hopefully or not hopefully (he had not decided yet) in a long line of Kaitou Kid's.
Though it did make people happy and did entertain people which would make them enjoy magic more and they would be able to see a cheap version of him legally and he had to respect all kind of magicians and their acts.
Even if he did not like them.
This guy was good and he was able to make a full of everyone, Mrs Suzuki was also able to put quite the show on and he was far more impressed with her than he thought he would have been. He had almost believed her if he did not know the truth from the very start and he loved every moment of it.
But most of all he loved everyone's reaction.
'Inspector I never knew you cared so much' though KID.
Nakamori was in shock of the thought of him being dead and just shot like that so much he was sad and could barely talk. there was no screaming but just whispering and he was so touched that he almost cried.
But he had to stay in character so he could not. Or on second thought he could actually shed a tear for him or fake version of himself. No, it would be best not to leave anything behind because he had just left a hair behind and that was no haunting him for the rest of his life. Never harm a hand on someone's head well that stupid strand of hair had harmed him by bringing him the most boring Detective of them all.
Now all he had to do was play cards!
He liked playing cards with people and tricking them.
Also, he had a partner and he had even given her the little hint about who he was and he had found out she was a Sherlock Holmes fan.
Sherlock Holmes Fans!
They just keep popping up like daisies and worst he had an argument with a child about it all and about Lupin.
The little girl had won the argument/debate with him, coming out on top and what was worse she was not the one that was doing the arguing just tell him facts and putting him and Lupin to shame.
He did not know that Sherlock Holmes was also a master of disguise and that the character was stolen to challenge the thief because they could not think of someone challenging enough to the thief.
That was so unfair of her making him feel ashamed and not like the character for just a moment there because a character was stolen and she even made a mockery of him.
They say you learn something new every day well he learned all that nonsense about Sherlock Holmes that had almost got him interested in it. But there was no way that he was going read those infernal books there was no way in hell or watch the many TV shows and films that were made, dedicated to the character.
But there was a game that was Sherlock Holmes Vs Lupin that he wanted to play so that he could defeated the character. But he did not want to work with the character because he did not want to work with a Detective because he was made with all the Detectives that he knew right now and did not want to talk to them or any of them.
Now after that shock of the thief not be being him the show was off and it was the start to his next great trick and he would be able to watch the next.
He kept a close eye on the little Detective girl, who was watching or observing everyone as if they were suspects.
So, the little hint that he had given her to who he really was did not work after all.
What a pity.
She was not really enjoying the show but waiting for him and not enjoying the magic itself. He did not like this because she was supposed to be watching and enjoying the show like everyone else was and he did not want to steal the magician's thunder just yet because the magician still had a couple of tricks up his and sleeves that he wanted to watch and observe to see and compare them to his own in case he ever needed to borrow or use this mark in the future. If this guy was going to use him then it was only fair that he did the same and share in all of the glory and chaos that they would both create.
He needed a pigeon and he had found one in this guy.
Repetition of certain words really got the magician to use the words that he did to give away more hints and he just loved it. He was practically giving his location away and no one was none the wiser.
He took his eye off her for one minute and now she was looking at book, or was she reading a book ?
The book looked familiar and was starting to think that she was looking for the clue that was given earlier on to the other recent famous detective in the house.
With Shinichi gone this man was thought to be the Detective of the East now and he was so not because there would only ever be one.
She was smiling and he had seen that mile somewhere before.
But right now, he had no time for thinking about that because he had to do his job and it was coming up soon or it would never happen at all.
The cards were shuffled and then dropped.
So, like the gentleman/lady he was he helped pick them up and handed them back to the Suzuki girl that for right now was his best friend.
Now everyone was panicking of the card that was selected and what was on the card of course. And they could not help just read it all out and loud for everyone to read.
He could not go back to his partner just yet because he had to start the distraction being his own beautiful assistant he was going to distract everyone with little ball. That did not sound right.
His partner was chatting and smiling with the adults.
People were beginning to panic and Nakamori was acting just like he needed for him to, it was just perfect.
But was also so predictive and that it was almost boring.
Now while everyone was listening to be being reassured he " dropped " his Black Pearl without anyone noticing.
Now it was pointed out that his was missing and he was now chasing after it, he was chasing after his own distraction and everything was going according to plan and right on schedule just like he had planned.
PUFF
PUFF
PUFF
He smiled for a moment.
Everyone was panicking and Mrs Suzuki was knocked to the ground. He hoped that she was unharmed and he could make sure while he helped her to her feet and while he stole the Black Pearl.
He needed a quick moment to himself so he could check if it was Pandora or not. But right now, was not the best time because the doors were locked...and now they were not because the party was over and the balls were still going off. So, the crowd had panicked like rats in a cage and were now doing all they could to get out of their cage. This was not a wise choice that Nakamori had made and he was feeling bad that he had ruined the party and instead of entertaining everyone he had scared them.
Scaring was something that Daredevil did and was something that Kaitou Kid did not do. He was using a scare tactic and he had not even realized it until it was too late and he had caused a stampeded with people possibly getting hurt and stepped on.
This was not something that he wanted or what he wanted to be. Shinichi knew how to use fear and how to make it work for her without it spreading like a disease to annoy that was nearby. She knew how to control it perfectly and contained it perfectly to the people that she needed to be afraid of her and he did the exact opposite.
Daredevil might not be here but he was infected with her and he knew in this exact moment that he had to get her go because he had infected her and he did the same to her. Their relationship friendly or otherwise was not healthy for either of them and since she was not here he was the only one that was stopping the true bad guys. He was starting to feel the pressure and it had got to him without knowing and he had now just realized this and he was going to have to let it go. Like he was going to have to let her go, so he could move on and it all could be for the best for his sanity and for hers. For the sake of everyone.
It was for the best
Then he was snapped out his thought as someone was grabbing onto his arm and he looked down to see the little girl.
He was shocked that she had just told him that she knew who Kaitou Kid and where she would find hi. But she would need her hep to do it and before she could utter a word he was being pulled off his feet and out of the room to a part of the ship that he had not been in and only seen in the diagrams that he gotten.
But boy or rather girl was she strong for such a little girl and fast too.
Or maybe he was too light and he needed to gain some more weight and that would be a good excuse...reason to eat more chocolate because he was worried about his weight.
Again, there was no childish act.
Except the part where she was playing with the soccer ball.
Ok!
He was busted and there was no way that he was going to talk himself out of this one. Not that he had already tried like a million times only to be mislead and make her think that she was mistaken, only to be corrected. Which was annoying and completely frustrating.
He did not think that this was Pandora anyway so there would be no real harm in just handing it over without checking it anyway.
If he thought he knew Sonoko as well as he thought he did. Then there would have been a good chance that she had already done his bit and checked it out anyway or she will in the future and he could wait for that to happen at any time and any place he could wait.
Another violent girl in his life.
Did they all have to be so violent ?
That kick could have knocked his head off.
And she probably could have used his head for a ball if she tried hard enough and he did not want to stick around for that. He would have needed to do some more research and more surveillance on the detective girl to know his enemy. Also, so he could think of a name for her because he had a new rival in her and she had made his day.
Plus, her threats were actually threatening that sent chills down his spine and it was all coming from such a little cute and adorable evil looking child.
Omen, children of the corn or Village of the damned she was definitely one of them and he wanted to see her again.
But not right now and he had to use a cheap trick that Aoko would not be too happy that he had used to get the hell out of there.
He was shocked that she had called him a pervert and knew exactly what he was indicating there was far more to this girl than he had thought. But he had also left a bad impression on her that he was not a Gentleman and she was going to have to find the Mouri girl to realize that she was wrong and he was going to have to prove it the next time that they would meet.
Until then.
He had no disguise left and he could not get to his glider without being seen.
He could steal a boat but there would be a good chance of it being noticed and all the boats were being watched anyway.
So, there was only one way out that did not end with going to jail and that was to take a dip and head up the river and swim for his life. For his freedom. Hoping that he would not be eaten alive by any sharks or fish and he had to do it as quick as he could.
He really should have thought about his escape plan because right now it had blown right up I his face and he had to improvise in the worst way possible.
But he did like to improvise.
