The Phantom and the Critic (Cokai) (DC/MK1412)
A/N: This is a CoKai fiction, y'know? Conan and Kid and if you dunno what I'm talking 'bout, read the manga and watch the anime/OVA/movies of said char. Then, you can enjoy. It's a one-shot, get it?! Cheers!
It was another night at one of Suzuki Jirokichi's fabulous parties where a white clad man was running from a horde of uniformed angry men.
One of those men in a green suit and neat moustache though bushy from the chase was crying out some kind of war cry, "KID!" whilst the others just followed and the white-clad man simply smiled and showed off a large sapphire to simply annoy his chasers.
The white clad man was obviously Kaitou Kid who was enjoying the thrilling chase from the exasperated policemen led by Nakamori-keibu who let out that war cry.
It had been a fortnight since Suzuki challenged him, a few days when he sent that notice and an hour since he began that heist in the luxurious party where the jewel was displayed among the rich and stolen half an hour later to the delight of many for it was great entertainment.
But even that entertainment, showing off his fireworks, tricks, pranking the Kid task force in more ways than one which brought tears of mirth in many eyes and showing off plenty in that party, it still did not distract him from an ache that happened a week ago.
Seeing the sapphire still stung a bit as it reminded him of her eyes. Aoko... Nakamori's daughter.
He will never know why but that week... Aoko told Kaito, his civilian identity, that she was dating with that Haku-bastard of all people.
He really didn't see what she got from him as Kaito was definitely much more fun, a complete package in the entertainment department but for some reason...
They got close over the months as Kaito continued his search for Pandora and the increased heists, neglecting Aoko. He sighed as now he was climbing on top of the mansion's roof, the police following his every move.
Just to distract them, he threw something between them. The police especially Nakamori, recoiled and senior police stop amateurs from getting closer to it.
After an incident involving jumping buildings, throwing something innocent while jumping a building and the police gave chase anyway, the result was instantaneous! Kid got away with the entire task force in the air high up between two buildings stuck in bubblegum! The next day, while Kaito was eating with Aoko as usual, Nakamori looked extremely disgruntled, pieces of bubblegum still stuck over him and 'in places he doesn't want to think about' he muttered that day.
That incident still brought tears of laughter to Kaito but the thought of Aoko still stung a bit. That day, when she said that she was dating Hakuba, she said they could still be friends, that Hakuba was so nice and there for her when Kaito wasn't. That hurt, but she was right and he saw less of Aoko with his heists here and there.
In the end, he understood as he now saw the jewel through the moonlight, unbeknownst to the police who were wary of the device and sighed in disappointment when it didn't glow red.
In the end, all that mattered was finding Pandora, for Oyaji. He had to do this last act of destroying Pandora for his Dad to move on after he was murdered...
If, no, when, this was all over, he will tell Aoko everything and hoped she understood the coldness she felt from him, but was happy nevertheless that she found happiness from someone else, even if it was Hakuba...
Now, he moved on. He no longer felt anything for Aoko nowadays and was grateful that she still wanted to be his friend, but she was the first friend and maybe... Stop. Move on.
He smiled at the officers and a few raised their weapons at him though Nakamori told them to stand down but they were leery. Kid's smile never meant any good.
He snapped his fingers and suddenly the device exploded in blackness, but it was not smoke and instead, it just exploded solid stuff to the officers, blinding them for a second as it hit their eyes.
The next moment, Kid was gone, the black stuff was all over the police and the mansion's roof and in front of Nakamori was the jewel with a note.
He bent down, the black sludge seeping him, and pocketed the jewel while reading the note.
This is not the jewel that I'm looking for. I return it to you now.
Kaitou Kid
With the logo and everything.
Nakamori crushed the note and thought bitterly about Kid's game.
"Look, Inspector!" an officer cried out. It may be small but there was no mistaking that white hanglider.
"KID!" Nakamori bellowed, "AFTER HIM!"
But that was fruitless. They tried to move but their feet were glued to the roof as if that black stuff was some sticky stuff which in their attempts to move, probably was.
"KID!" Nakamori bellowed again, but with increased rage and of course that was fruitless. They were going to be stuck there for some time like crazy monuments with one that screams and swears too much.
"Really, I can't believe that one believes it every time," Kaito sighed.
He was actually at the top floor of the luxurious mansion where apparently the party was still ongoing, thrilled by Kaito's entertainment and he planned to get out of here incognito.
The reason why he just didn't leave instead with the hanglider was that he had been assassinated these past few weeks. Being out there in the open was stupid and it was better to leave without them knowing, anyway.
Little did he know, he was gonna encounter a small but deadly problem.
In front of him was none other than the Detective Conan who was smirking at him in a way he didn't like.
He was a 6 year old pint-size detective in a blue suit, red bow tie and a belt and shoes which you should never underestimate as long as you live but nevertheless, Kaito smiled back at him.
"My, my, if it isn't tantei-kun," he said in a teasing fashion with his favorite nickname, smiling. Lately, Conan was present in every single heist of his in the few months and they have given him thrills and contentment that he never known. Maybe even more.
"Smile while you can, Kid," his hand moved to the shoes. Kaito took half a step back, ready to flee but no sudden movements.
"So...". Conan dragged out that word. "You have already returned the jewel as I heard from Nakamori-san but... why didn't you just escape then? There was no one to stop you."
"Are you sure, tantei-kun?" Kid asked. "You have attended my recent heists. You would know what happened in one of them."
Conan grimaced. Of course he did. An assassination attempt, no wonder he didn't fly out. Too risky.
"Alright. I see... but now," he held back his smirk, "better captured than dead..." he playfully said in a childish voice as he activated the shoes.
Kid flinched. In a narrow passage like this?
A smoke bomb appeared as Conan was ready to kick the ball. It soared but Kid was nowhere in sight.
Conan groaned in frustration. So close...
He attended the party as the Kid Killer with Ran and Sonoko. Sonoko used the opportuity as matchmaker for Ran with another guy.
It's been sometime since Shinichi had made his appearance and Ran grew sad and lonely without him. So, Sonoko decided to hook her up with someone else. It seemed to be working...
He was sad that Ran was in pain missing him and wishing he could be there but slightly relieved that she was getting better. He really wished he could be there but had no chance without an antidote. Haibara Ai is still working on it but no results.
So, he started attending more of Kid's heist for something to do. And sparring with that thief certainly made him feel better.
Was he over Ran? No, not really. But she was starting to move on, and may be he had too considering there was no antidote to his ailment in sight. Sigh... life was so difficult.
So consumed in his thoughts, he found himself to be walking away from the party and into the forest. He found himself in a clearing later where the trees circled a place with a pond that reflected the full moon's light and rocks around it and Kid at front of the pond bleeding.
"Kid!" Conan screamed out and rushed toward him. Something stirred in his left chest but he didn't dwell on it. Instead, he continued running towards Kid and knelt beside him while taking off his backpack.
Kid opened his eyes and a smile could be seen forming on his face, "Well, hello, tantei-kun. It looks like I'm having a bit of trouble."
"Don't joke about it. Help is on the way." Conan said as he pulled out a first aid kit and started first aid. "You are in good hands."
"I believe that," Kid smiled, "You have been doing a lot of great things, isn't that right Shin-chan?"
Conan froze. "What?!"
"I said, isn't that right, Kudo Shinichi?"
He was surprised at first but he later said, "When?"
"Ever since a few heists before."
Conan simply shrugged and continued doing administrations. He also checked a pulse.
"Hmm... it's strong. Wait a minute..."
Kid truly threw a full wattage smile.
"Are you wearing a bullet-proof vest, Kid?"
Kid sat up straight, discarded the 'I'm wounded' play and just said, "Of course, after all what happened, it's better to be careful."
He was moving nearer to Conan and Conan him.
'What's going on?' Both of them thought and by a magical force, both of them kissed.
It should be wrong.
It was not right.
A phantom thief.
A detective.
A teen.
A 6 year old.
Both boys.
Totally opposite, save for their appearances.
But strangely, it felt right. They pulled out, explored their lips and grimaced at the same time.
"Why did that feel right?" Conan said out light.
Kid just smiled. He was grinning, bastard as he was and probably perv. He just said, "Enjoyed that, tantei-kun?"
Conan's grimace went deeper.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" he asked.
Kid simply said, "Language, tantei-kun. It was fun being challenged by you, putting our wits against each other. Who knew it could spread out more?"
"No, it did not!" But Conan was blushing.
Kid clucked his tongue, "Still the same critic, huh? I don't blame you, I didn't expect this either but you fill up my hole all of the sudden and I know we have the same obstacles, something we can overcome together."
"What do you mean?"
"What else do you think I mean? The Black Organization did this you, didn't they?"
Conan's eyebrows shot up. Kid was getting more mysterious by the second and every mystery, he liked solved and unsolved he liked to pursue. How did he know about the BO?!
"So you had some bad experience with them?" Conan asked.
"Yep, we all have our pasts but lets look at our futures," Kid said and he siddled closer to Conan, brushing against him. A tingling feeling erupted in him.
"How did you get shot?" Conan asked, just to distract him from the tingling feeling.
"A little bit trouble with my assassins but nothing to worry about."
Conan was about to say that it was a thing to worry about but Kid cut in before he could said so, "You are worried about me, huh? Aww... so you do care."
Conan blushed, how did he know?
"Aww... you look so cute when you blushed. You are just so cute when you blushed. So why don't you come to me?"
Kaito couldn't really explain to himself why he cared so much for tantei-kun, teasing him and wanting to love him. And that kiss, he just wanted more... Maybe it was Aoko or maybe there was something about the little tantei-kun but he just felt so... much.
"I can't. You are obviously fine. I'm going now," Conan brushed himself off and wanted to leave despite wanting to stay more. What was wrong with him?
Then, Kid took his arm, "Not until this." And he kissed Conan more passionately.
Under the moonlight in a beautiful scene.
And in that moment, nothing matter, nothing.
They just kissed passionately, all reason left behind.
For just this moment...
