Five Years Later

"Updating news of the on-the-run Serial Killer of Tokyo Kudo Shinichi, he ones again had taken three innocent lives in Beika near station. According to the witnesses, he suddenly appeared and without remorse kill with a long blade attach to his right hand. His grin of joy taking lives had chilled the people who had witness that result the panic for fearing they will be next. The police continue to pursue the killer to end his scheme."

The news continued to speak about the Serial Killer Kudo Shinichi on the run. There was an image of him showing too, the evil and crazy for a teenager high school student if ever he had continued his studies and never gone missing. There's even a scope where he had laugh in a maniac way, totally enjoying taking the lives of anyone whom he had laid his eyes on and always got away from the polices, even the detectives too like Hattori Heiji the known Detective of the West and the one who had sworn he will catch the Serial Killer running wild.

The person who had the remote control lowered the volume since almost news was talking about the Serial Killer Kudo Shinichi ever since he showed himself three years ago. Well he's been active for three years but it took more than a year to reveal the Serial Killer whom no one had ever expected to be the teenager and the lost son of two famous people in the world, Kudo Yusaku the mystery novelist and Kudo Yukiko the famous retired actress.

"The news kept talking about him again huh." The person holding the remote control said before huffing.

Another person who came out from the kitchen with coffee and chocolate drink went to the person who's watching the news and gave the chocolate drink which made the person smile brightly before taking it.

"Thanks"

"No problem... so it talks about him again?"

"Yeah" The person huff before turning to his companion who's now attention on the news, coffee in hand. "When will he come back?"

"I'm not sure, maybe when he found some valuable information he'll be back." He answered before taking a sip, he really loves coffee. 'Changes come so fast... it started after I left to the place I had called home...'

He remembered his departure with a certain companion, heading here in Japan.

Four months ago

" il tempo per voi di andare "(Time for you to go.) Mysteria said softly as she sees her own apprentice and the boy she had saved five years ago are ready to depart.

Mysteria with seven more people were giving their farewell to the boy who's now around seventeen years old while they give their luck and words of taking care of themselves on the other person he will be with.

" Mi mancherai tanto Shin. " (I'm gonna miss you so much Shin.) The phony tailed blond hair woman said as he hugged the boy so much.

The boy who's mentioned was Shin smiled, " Sono la signorina gonna troppo Elaine, prometto che verrò a visitare o scrivere lettere a posto." (I'm gonna miss you too Elaine, i promise i will come and visit or write letters okay.)

T he female named Elaine sniff before giving s soft glare, " È meglio essere Shin, altrimenti io ti assaltare il tuo posto e chiedere qualche spiegazione." (You better be Shin or else I will storm your place and demand some explanation.)

He nodded as an answer. A man who's behind her approached her and smiled to the boy, "O gni volta che Elaine gettare le sue parole, lei sarà totalmente farlo in modo da tenere a mente Shin. Sto per perdere, è meglio non dimenticare tutto ciò che ti avevo insegnato perché sicuramente verrà utile in un prossimo futuro." (Whenever Elaine throw her words, she will totally do it so keep that in mind Shin. I'm gonna miss you, you better not forget everything I had taught you because surely it will come handy in near future.)

He nodded before bowing his head, " Ricorderò sempre Doranbolt. Grazie per aver cura di me per questo tutti i cinque anni. " (I will always remember Doranbolt. Thank you for taking good care of me for this whole five years.)

The man named Doranbolt smiled and nod, " Prendetevi cura di voi stessi lì Shin. " (Take good care of yourself there Shin.) Elaine followed, " Shin ci mancherai. " (Shin we will miss you.)

" Lo farò " (I will) Shin answered before turning to the other two who were approaching, the woman wearing a long indigo cloak that already covered her face and a Chinese man who has a welcoming aura.

" Nel caso abbiate bisogno di aiuto, non esitate a chiamare qualsiasi di noi e ci sarà sicuramente venire in vostro soccorso Shin." (In case you need help, do not hesitate to call any of us and we will surely come to your rescue Shin.) Said the woman wearing a long cloak with her gentle words and voice which made Shin smile and nod.

The Chinese followed in a different language, " Bùguǎn fāshēng shénme, bǎochí zìjǐ jiānqiáng. Wúlùn nǐ fāxiàn shénme, zǒng shì bǎochí zìjǐ de jiānqiáng, xiàng qián zǒu dào nǐ xuǎnzé de lùjìng." (Keep yourself strong no matter what happen Shin. No matter what you discover, always keep yourself strong and move forward to the path you had chosen to take.)

Shin nodded with a smile, speaking the same language as him. "Wǒ huì yǒngyuǎn míngjì Shing." (I will always keep that in mind Shing.) He bowed on the two, returning back to the original language. "Grazie per tutto quello che aveva dato e mi ha insegnato Raven, Shing. Io sarò sempre li tesoro nel mio cuore." (Thank you for everything you had given and taught me Raven, Shing. I will always treasure them within my heart.)

The woman in the cloak named Raven smiled purely for him and so was the Chinese Man named Shing.

Three males approached him: The smallest and cheerful one, the mysterious and carefree white haired man and the doctor, Rick. "

Shin Non dimenticate mai di sorridere va bene! In entrambi la gioia e il dolore, non dimenticare mai di mostrare ciò che si sente veramente la persona che si doveva ritenere affidabile." (Shin do not ever forget to smile okay! In both joy and pain, never forget to show what you truly feel to the person whom you had deem trustworthy.) The cheerful one said with a large grin, his voice is kind of cute and young but this guy is totally a man.

Shin grinned, " Terrò che sia nella mente e nel cuore Silver. " (I will keep that in both mind and heart Silver.)

The young and cheerful man named Silver grin even more.

Rick approached him who had been looking after his health ever since he was found by Mysteria, like her apprentice he already sees this boy as his own son. Seeing him leave kind of sadden him but it needs to be done, for his sake.

" Non dimenticate mai il limite e, soprattutto, il proprio Shin molto salute. " (Never forget your limit and especially your own very health Shin.) Rick said in serious tone, he really cared for this boy and if ever he received something bad he doesn't know what he might do in near future. He doesn't want to think the bad possibilities for goodness sake. S

hin knew how he cared for his health so much since his body became so much weak unlike many others. He has limits in almost everything, but thanks to everyone here he was able to cure those limits but still need to be careful.

" Lo farò Rick. " (I will Rick.) He responds the doctor with a tone that says he understood and so there is nothing to worry.

Well that was enough to make Rick relief and smile for the boy.

"Shin nel caso in cui avete bisogno di informazioni che non c'è bisogno di tenere indietro e chiedere a me. Sono il Breaker informatore, ti darò ogni risposta è necessario nel caso in cui veramente bisogno. Ho già lo ricordo che così vi ricordo anche troppo." (Shin in case you need information you don't have to hold back and ask me. I'm the informant Breaker, I will give you every answer you need in case you truly need it. I already remind him that so I will remind you also too.)

The mysterious white haired who's also Mysteria's boyfriend said with his gentle tone, much that made Shin blush a bit but still kept himself straight. " Conto su di voi in un prossimo futuro Checker, grazie per anticipo. " (I'm counting on you in near future Checker, thank you for advance.) Shin said with a bow which made the man named Checker smile for him.

Now everyone turned to Mysteria who's done talking to her apprentice who will come to Shin's journey back home.

Unlike everyone, Mysteria spoke his nationality language since in her mind she doesn't want him to forget the nation he was born and raised, his real home. "You didn't forget anything there Shin?"

S hin nodded to the person whom he kind of see as his own mother. "Yes and thank you for taking good care of me for these five years." Mysteria nodded as her respond, "Japan is a long way from Italy, and looks like bringing you here for your safety had gone a well result." This made Shin smile, blushing from her affection. She turned to her apprentice who's five years older than him. "C ome la sua figura fratello maggiore, sto contando su di voi per vegliare su di lui Reborn." (As his older brother figure, i'm counting on you to watch over him Reborn.)

Reborn, the apprentice of Mysteria smirk as he pulled down his fedora where his pet a Chameleon named Leon was resting. " Non c'è bisogno di ricordare a me Sensei per io lo proteggere non importa quale." (No need to remind me Sensei for I will protect him no matter what.)

" R-Reborn n-no need to exceed like that." Shin said with kind of embarrassment what made everyone laugh. Well they will totally going to miss the clever, smart and shy boy.

Mysteria suddenly became serious as she spoke, "Remember what you will face ahead Shin, Reborn. Give them what they deserve."

The two nodded as their response.

'And so... that's how I depart from the people whom I had called my family. I who had lived in Sicily Italy for so long will finally leave and head to where I was found five years ago, Tokyo Beika Japan... To know what truly happened to me, my past, my identity, everything that I until now never knew nor remember. A strong almost permanent amnesia, will it ever be cured on my way back?'

"Having flashback?" The person drinking hot chocolate drink asked. He only smiled, "Just remembering the time I left Italy to come here in Japan to know who I am... now that I remember, not really long after we arrive here, we met you."

The person grin brightly, "You two saved me from that serial killer. There's no way I'd ever forget that."

They remember their first meeting... of the famous Phantom Thief, Kaitou Kid.

Kaitou Kid the phantom thief successfully stole the jewel that was named Sapphire Pegasus due to its unique and wonderful Sapphire jewel that could compare its beauty of the beautiful Pegasus that's why it was named Sapphire Pegasus.

Nakamori-keibu with his men were chasing after Kid as usual with the detective who had sworn he will catch him, the British Detective Saguru Hakuba. Well again as usual they all kept falling to his traps which aren't really harmful but funny/irritating way.

Now alone in the rooftop, he raised the jewel up to the moon to see nothing other than the beautiful blue jewel shining on the moon. He took a sigh, 'Not this one either.'

He decided to put the jewel to his safety pocket and return it back tomorrow. The jewel he's been looking for was named Pandora that said to be able to give person immortality. Well Kaitou Kid wasn't interested on that, that jewel was the reason why his father was murdered. So in order to bring justice, he will find the jewel before them, take the organization named Snake down and destroy Pandora for a better future.

Kaitou Kid jump from the roof and used his glider to fly away from the building. Kaitou Kid felt disappointment that one's again was a failure but that doesn't matter, as long as he works hard he will find it.

Unbeknown to the Phantom Thief, someone from afar targets him. The sniper was already on position and as he ready to take the timing, targeting the glider that Kid used to ride on the wind and... shoot.

The bullet successfully hit Kaitou Kid's glider much as his astonishment and small panic from falling down. Kid immediately used some of his tricks that he prepared just in case something like this happened and he landed safely in the narrowed place and very dark too, a good place to hide for the time being.

'Did the Snake come and attacked me?' Kaitou Kid immediately became alert and kept himself on guard. He knew they aren't done yet. They want him dead and unfortunately for them he doesn't want that so he will fight them.

Kaitou Kid brought out his card gun and cautiously walking away and as he run, he sense the coming presence that immediately he pointed his gun on the intruder and to his surprise, it was someone who looks just like him.

"Glad to see you Kaitou Kid." The look-alike of him said that echoes danger. Kaitou Kid hid his surprise in his poker face and smiled, "And who might you be?"

"Kudo Shinichi" The look-alike named Kudo Shinichi introduced himself before showing his blade that had been hidden in the dark. "The one who shall take your life, Kaitou Kid!"

He immediately charged and gave a slash which Kid able to jump back in time to dodge it. It didn't stop the serial killer and kept on chasing his head to be cut. Kid runs as fast as he could and even shoot cards to give distraction but this killer was good, he could slash the cards with ease and continue pursuing him.

'Not good' Kid thought as he kept running. 'Crap!'

A dead end, he turned around to see the killer about to slash him but using his pink bomb to distract him ones again and make himself disappear but the quick move of the killer hit his right shoulder.

'Grah!' Kid stepped back as he clench his bleeding wound. The killer chuckle, "You really are a kid, distracting your own enemy, that won't be enough to save your life Phantom Thief."

Kid glared the killer who had raised his blade, about to silence him when a sudden gun shot hit his arms.

"Gra! Wha-what was-" Before Kid could hear more, a sudden hands grabbed his other hand and pulled him to make a run. The killer growled, "STOP RIGHT THERE!"

The one who's pulling Kaitou Kid was a mysterious boy who's hiding his appearance with his hood. He clenched his hand around Kid's, determine to take him out alive. Kaitou Kid wasn't sure whenever to let this person be or get himself free and run away on his own. Before he could voice or even decide, he saw someone ahead holding a gun. He immediately knew he's the one who shot that killer.

He passed through them, planning to deal with the killer without giving his words to his companion. "Take him safely."

Kid didn't hear the savior's response but saw the answer through his action. He kept pulling him and turning to a path that seems to be safe in his map. Arriving on a certain place, there's an open canal underground. He went in first before gesturing him to come too. Having no choice, Kaitou Kid followed. He closed the entrance after getting in.

"F-follow me." For the first time, the savior spoke and continued leading the way.

Kid's wound was itching but he knew he can't stay where they are or those people might come and in his condition, he can't protect the savior or himself so he followed. Now that he saw him, not only he's wearing hood but also a hat, the shadow it produce completely cover his face.

Ahead there's a lamb with a large bag beside. The savior went to the bag and immediately opened it as he searched something. Kid could only watch, keeping his guard up from this person at the same time thinking what he must do to his wound when he spoke.

"Sit here I-I'll patch it as soon a-as possible." The savior pointed the small sit which made Kaitou Kid almost blink. Before he could speak, he pulled him and forced him to sit down. The wound aches even more that made him grunt.

The savior brought out the first aid kit and before he does things, he asked. "Can I strip you so I can tend it? We have no time left. Reborn is trying to take their attention. In case they made a separate chaise and found us we need to move away as much as possible."

Kaitou Kid was surprise, did his voice... look like he really wanted to help him?

"A-as much as I'm happy you are helping me but... may I ask your name?" Kaitou Kid asked, keeping his gentlemen expression, after all he did help him.

The savior took down his hood and then his hat. Kaitou Kid was more than surprise to see the person hidden from those shadows. He smiled as he introduced himself, "I'm Shin, please to meet you Kaitou Kid. Now can I tend your wound?"

"You are really shock to see my face at that time." The one holding the coffee said as he chuckle. This made the other person grunt, "What do you expect from me Shin-chan, you look EXACTLY LIKE HIM! I thought I'm hallucinating."

"Hehe, don't worry I expect it. The killer and I have the same appearance. I don't know how he did it but he just did... no one would believe the real me." Shin, rather, the real Kudo Shinichi said in sorrowful tone.

Kaitou Kid, in real name Kuroba Kaito immediately went to his side and comforts him. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have brought that up. Oniisan is finding way to reveal the fake you so you can be safe, to be out and feel the outside world, not always be here and being kept hidden. You will meet your family soon and learn more about yourself so don't worry okay."

Shin smiled to his comfort and nod, "Thank you Kaito... I appreciate it... although there are times I wonder... what if when I met them I still don't remember my lost memories? Mysteria told me my memories' condition... they are almost in permanent amnesia... it's been so long and not ones I ever experience some flashback about my lost memories or anything... I-I don't even feel anything after knowing my name is Kudo Shinichi... I... what if I-"

He was halted when warm arms wrapped around him. Kaito is giving comfort, he didn't realize tears already flowing down.

"You will remember Shin-chan, I assure you." Kaito said in his most gentle tone and promising one, "And even if it won't return how it does matter? For me I think it's better to create new memories than seek the painful ones that we never know when it will return."

Shin stared at his eyes, trying to find any lies and decisiveness but found comfort and love. Is this how he feels?

"Create new memories... abandon the past and... focus on the present?" Shin asked, unsure. He wanted to know about himself, that is why he returned back here in Japan, to know and mostly remember his own existence.

"Creating and pursuing are yours to decide Shin-chan, but for me, we should focus on both. Let's seek the past as we focus our future okay." Kaito said before leaning forward and kissed his forehead, much that made Shin blush, tears already stop without him knowing.

Kaito smiled for him. Shin smiled back, happy and glad he had actually met Kaito and the fact that he had fallen in love with him is... something he never expect for both of them to reach... especially entering the relationship.

"Ehem" The familiar voice was enough to make Kaito jumped away from Shin while Shin faced away as he blush madly. Who would thought they would be caught by him!? On the entrance was the man wearing fedora, black suits and pants and pet chameleon named Leon to his finger. Looks like he's very itchy to do something but only holding back, "I know affections is necessary but Kaito what did I told you about control?"

Kaito immediately defend himself, "O-Oniisan I'm not doing anything I swear! I'm only comforting my lovely soon-to-be-husband. There's nothing wrong with it." As soon as he heard the word 'soon-to-be-husband' made Shin blush madly as he wish to become an air as soon as possible. Reborn only twitch, "Since when did I give you his hands Kaito, stop daydreaming."

"For this whole two months I kept showing you Shin-chan will be in safe hands in me. Don't you have any fate in me Oniisan?"

"Two months is not enough young man and why do you keep asking me about that? Shouldn't you be asking his parents to have his hands? As for calling me Oniisan, stop it. That won't be enough to make me agree."

"Oniisan if two months is not enough then I will prove to you I'm capable of taking care of Shin-chan no matter how long it takes! I will absolutely ask his parents to take his hands after the whole ordeal is over. You are Shin-chan's brother figure so it is completely right for me to call you Oniisan."

Renato could only facepalm, "Shin mi dica ancora una volta il motivo per cui salvare questo mago che eccita da assassinio." (Shin tell me again why we save this freaking magician from assassination.) He spoke in his mothertounge which made Shin sweatdrop as he smile.

"What did he say Shin-chan?" Kaito whispered, not really knowing Italian as he only learn greetings.

"W-well... hehe" Instead of continuing this conversation, Shin decide to break it and get to the main discussion. "R-Reborn what did you find?"

As he heard the question, he scowled. "No wonder the police are total convince that Serial Killer is you Shin, you will find this unbelievable."

He brought out a brown envelop which was stored in the safe place and walking forward to them. Kaito went to Shin's side as the three are focused about the Serial Killer that took the real Kudo Shinichi's identity.

"This is the DNA Data that the police had achieved. I took the copy." Reborn explained as he brought out some papers and showed it to them. The two studied the papers and Kaito was truly surprise to what he had seen before asking Reborn in disbelief, "A-are you serious!? Positive!? H-how could he-"

"That's what I'm curious about." Reborn halted him. "How they able to make the reading positive without tampering the tester at all, it's a big mystery. I checked it and I'm convinced nothing was hacked or tampered. It's a clear positive."

Kaito can't believe what he had heard, "The-then how can we prove Shin-chan is the real Kudo Shinichi, DNA test won't work as evidence!"

Shin can't help but be worried, the thought of using DNA test to prove them his identity and the serial killer was nothing but an imposter who's using his image and name for his scheme... its gone.

"For now I don't know yet. I will exam this for the time being." He showed them a small bottle of blood. Kaito raised his eyebrow, "What's that?"

"Sample blood of the imposter Kudo Shinichi." Reborn explained. "From what I gathered, the police encounter against him, they were able to put a scratch on him but still able to escape but at that time it doesn't matter because all they need is the blood sample from the killer... it's all according to Kudo Yusaku's desire."

"He wanted to at least prove he is not his son huh." Kaito murmured as he put a deep thought about this. Shin became sad, only seeing his father in the television and until now can't come out and just say I'm your missing son... well hard to believe.

"It resulted positive so I'm sure the impact was too much especially to the family and close to Shin." Renborn ended before sighing, "The thought of someone else having the same DNA, for me it's kind of possible but not extend where everything is match, there is something wrong about here so I will figure that out as much as I can."

"But you just said there is nothing wrong with the DNA test." Shin said which worries him. Reborn gave a small smile, "Which leads the problem is this blood here."

Shin's eyes widen, finally learned what he meant and so was Kaito.

"I asked Checker for information. He'll give me his findings tomorrow or later. For this I'll try exam them with my skill even though I really wanted Rick to help me out." Reborn said before sighing, "Too much work to do."

Shin was kind of speechless, he knew Reborn will be with him to help him but not to this extend. He was about to speak when Reborn spoke.

"I'm doing this according to my own desire. Shin just you wait okay." Reborn gave a wink before walking away on the room, heading to the laboratory he had made and start his research.

Leaving the two behind, Shin turned to Kaito, silently asking if he should do something. Kaito only smiled as he wrapped his arms around him.

"My next heist is coming, they will come surely to target me. Shin-chan how about preparing yourself for that day, looks like it won't be normal from this point."

Shin smiled and nod, agreeing to the magician, "Good idea, in case something happened I'll be there to support you Kaito. I won't let anything bad happen to you, that I promise."

"Heh I'm counting on you Shin-chan. In exchange rest assure, I'll protect you... even it means using my life as a price."

In a dark hidden valley, there is someone standing alone in the darkness. This person wasn't bother at all from the silence, only waiting for a certain person to come until he heard footsteps coming his way. This made the person waiting smirk as finally the messenger is here.

The messenger arrived and spoke, "The boss has words for you."

"What's the new mission?"

"In the coming heist, your target will be the Phantom Thief. At the same time find that person who had come to interfere with our plan four months ago. I do not tolerate failure, this is your last chance, never fail this time."

"Heh, I know that." The person brought out his blade as the quarter moon shone in the night sky to show the person who had spoken. It was the serial killer named Kudo Shinichi, smirking in murderous and excitement to take another life. "Whoever that person was, he's a good fighter I could ask for unlike the rest."

"Umm... there is more."

"Tell"

"Kudo Yusaku will ones again come to catch you?"

"Kudo Yusaku? Didn't I break him already?"

"Yes you did... but it seems the goal is different, and that is to give the victims to justice."

"Hmm... so he had chosen the people, not his own son... I'm quite disappointed. Did the boss ever mention of me killing him? He won't be any use of us."

"B-Boss didn't have any word, should I ask him?"

"Doesn't matter, if ever he too learned his uselessness for us surely he'll order me to kill him." He grinned wider, "I want to see it... the despair of seeing his own son killing his own father. My blood is boiling!"

He began to laugh before leaving the place within the darkness. The messenger just took a sigh and left the place, needing to report back that he had finished delivering the message to their boss.
