怪盗キッド

Whenever there’s a rumor in Toshi City that Charlie came across, there was no question that she would go out and search for the truth about it.

This rumor was no different.

There was a small shop that she had overheard about, while scrolling about town, and was rumored to have an item she had searched all over for. And, when she had entered the shop on that day, this rumor was proved to be true.

When she had moved out to Toshi City, she decided to pack light, leaving behind anything that seemed unnecessary or too big to lug around. One of these things was her trusty hang glider. She could recall the time that she had pitched every penny into getting one, and how she used it to chase down any criminals that tried to escape her…ah, it was a shame she had to leave it behind.  

So today, when she had encountered a shop that not only sold hand gliders, but seemed to have a small ‘section’ dedicated to them, she felt like she could jump for joy. Her eyes danced about as she examined the selection; should she get one that was easy to travel with? Or, one that could get her up high into sky? As she considered her options, however, she soon found she wasn’t alone. In fact, of all people to be there, looking at the very same section as she was……wait, was that really one of her roommates?

 When she had asked why he was there, the person, Kaito, was surprised; just like Charlie had never imagined that he, a magic loving, but otherwise ordinary person, would be there, Kaito sure didn’t expect a detective to be considering a purchase of a hang glider. But, once the ‘surprise’ that came from seeing the other had died down, the two of them had begun to chatter excitedly, each pitching in their opinions and knowledge that they had. “The color should be simple but eye catching!” One would say. The other would reply; “But, wouldn’t it’d be better to remain unseen..?” Comments like these would be go back and forth between the two, until finally, they had decided it was late and returned home for the day. 

Of course his new neighbour does. Everyone in this whole fricking city knows the young Chief Detective Shinichi Kudou. His whole existence isn’t a secret anymore, at least, not here. It is a miracle if you don’t know him, actually. That, or perhaps you are just lucky.

The pain of the other not recognizing him cuts so ferociously through him, that even Kaito forgets to smile. No matter what happens, you have to keep your poker face... or at least, that is what he tries to remind himself of. He doubts anyone in his position right now can, really.

"Hmn... You're right" he answers hesitantly, "This is our first time."

But despite all that, he soon curves his mouth into a smile and gives the young detective a gentle, yet painful, laugh. It will be suspicious if he acts different now, right?

Hakuba was extremely pleased with Kaito’s shocked reaction. It was always fun to catch the other off guard. There was just that pleasure in watching your rival lose their cool in front of you. 

"How rude. I moved here all the way from London to catch Kaitou Kid and this is how I’m welcomed?"

Honestly though, Hakuba didn’t really care if Kaito was rude or not, he just wanted to get on the guy’s nerves. Giving Kaito a friendly smile, he continued.

"Oh yes, we’re going to be roommates and also classmates from now on."

This would allow Hakuba to stay close to Kaito and watch him carefully. If Kaito was really Kid then it would be difficult for him to act freely under such circumstances, but knowing the other, Kaito would manage somehow. What’s more were the people living in room one and two…

"By the way, the people residing in room one and two are all working for the TCDF. Watch yourself. I wouldn’t want you to be caught by someone else before I catch you myself."

That was his response to everything Hakuba said. From him coming over to catch Kaitou Kid, to him talking about how they were living in an apartment where mostly TCDF people resided. God, that was just his luck, really. Nonetheless, he had to smack some sense into the other.

"If you're here to catch Kaitou Kid, then aren't you at the wrong address?" Always deny you're Kaitou Kid. Habits never change. "He hasn't even had a heist here, so why would you look around here?"

Although Kaito of course knew Hakuba suspected him. Man, was nothing new anymore? Being a phantom thief who still goes to high school was tough. Either way, this sudden intrusion wasn't something he particularly enjoyed. Time to switch the tables around.

kay I seriously need to get back to work 

This is a rather sudden meeting.

Our dear detective just exited his room and by taking a slight glance to the side, he noticed his neighbour fiddling in front of his own place. A messy boy who is clumsily looking for the key of his room; you didn’t need to tell Shinichi that he is new around here. His actions just spoke that. Not to mention, he feels fairly familiar too…

And when such a feeling bothers him, Shinichi can’t leave it alone. With his super memory abilities, if he takes a closer look at the other boy, he surely will recognize him. Thus he locks his own door and then turns to his fated enemy.

It is only because the other called out his name that he turns his head around, facing the young man beside him. He initially feels a sense of shock as he processes who has been standing near him this whole moment, then he feels a fear of being exposed.

It was nice to finally sit down and have a warm cup of tea after a busy day. Although travelling was something common for Hakuba, he could never get over the fatigue which came after every trip. He watched as his hawk Watson stood, perched on its stand. There were still many things left to do. 

Hakuba had already managed to get all his things into the apartment, all that was left was the unpacking part. He still had about a third of his boxes to unpack- most of which were books. 

Wondering how much time had passed, Hakuba pulled out his watch to check… which was exactly 8 minutes and 23 seconds. He should get back to unpacking soon. Finishing the rest of his tea, he gracefully set his cup down on the coffee table. Hakuba leaned back on comfortable sofa and took a deep breath, closing his eyes. It was really tempting to fall asleep here, quiet except for the sound of a door opening. Oh, it seemed like someone had come into the room. He turned to meet the gaze of an all too familiar face. 

His initial plans had been to get home and maybe do some homework. Not that he really needed to do any, but hey, the little he had that was as easy as pie might as well be done. Kaito was intelligent enough and didn't feel like scolding or whatever. Not that he really gave much of a damn about the education around here.

The second thing was that he was planning on was to maybe help out Charlie with her hang glider troubles. This had two reasons: one; he wasn't going to leave a fellow hand glider person alone when he had heard her mumbling about it before, and two; figuring out where to buy one here in Toshi City was something he'd like to know himself as well. Ah, a bond over hang gliders wouldn't be a bad idea...

.... Yet, when he entered through the door and found a certain detective in his own room, Kaito froze and his plans felt ruined. Right. The presence of the other boy was just what he needed.
