"Shin-chan? Are you awake yet?," Kaito called out to the detective with a slight shake. They (somehow) slept till about 10 when Kaito finally woke up. With a slight grumble he made himself two choices to choose from. To wake up Shinichi and ask the doctor if he could leave early, or let Shinichi rest while he looks around for some info on this strange shooter.
After contemplating for a bit, he decided that he would rather have Shinichi next to him instead of leaving the detective by himself. Kaito shook Shinichi awake, or at least tried to, attempting everything in the book to try and wake up this deep sleeping person. But then an idea hit the magician. It was always when Shinichi could smell coffee or hear it mentioned that he woke up in a rush.
So what did Kaito do?
Well, he leaned down next to Shinichi and whispered "I'll drink your coffee." And it worked beautifully, ignoring the fact that Kaito almost died from Shinichi's sudden kick of course. But still, it worked didn't it?
"S-Shin-chan~! Your awake~!," Kaito chirped, trying to fake his innocence, but nothing got passed this pissed detective. Especially when it had to do with his precious precious coffee.
"Coffee...."
"W-what?"
"Gimme my god damned coffee you stupid thief," Shinichi growled, putting his leg on what seemed like display, a vein popping on his head,
"Y-YES SIR!," Kaito said quickly, getting the message nicely and dashed out of the room. Said magician quickly came back with a steaming cup of coffee in his hand and handed it to Shinichi who breathed in the strong smelling liquid with delight.
With this, Kaito learned his lesson never to joke about coffee first thing in the morning, or else you will get Shinichi's leg tested on your skull, checking which was harder.
"What did you want Kaito? Its still so early in the morning," Shinichi yawned, still disgruntled from the incident but calmer than before. "You woke up this poor invalid for a reason right?," He said without doubt. Because no one, even Kaito, would be stupid enough to wake him up for no good reason. But then again, this is Kaito, you can never really be too sure.
"Oh yeah! I was going to ask if you could get discharged earlier, and also, it's almost ten, not morning~!," Kaito said with a grin. "Besides, I don't want to leave this damsel in distress here in such a dangerous place when there's a chance you could get shot," the magician continued, and to be completely honest, Shinichi thought he was insane. Would someone really say "get discharged faster" to a person who's been shot? But then again, this was Kaito they were talking about here, the one who no one could truly understand.
"Well, I would if I could, so tell me Kaito, how exactly am I supposed to keep a straight face while asking 'Can I leave now since a certain magician doesn't want me to be alone because he feels the need to turn me into damsel in distress and drag me around everywhere'," Shinichi asked, with no bite except the slightest bit of sarcasm adding venom to his words.
"Well your Shinichi! Your like a super human! I'm sure the oh so great Kudo Shinichi could get discharged in half the amount of time as normal people," Kaito said with a big grin on his face, showing no doubt about his words.
"And you wonder why some people hate you so much," Shinichi mumbled with a sigh and gulped the rest of his coffee. "Well you go get the doctor then cause I'm a 'damsel in distress' and don't want to be distressed any more," he said with a matter-of-fact tone.
"Okay ojou-san," Kaito replied and left the room, letting Shinichi alone for a bit. It was enjoyable being near someone who seemed the complete opposite of you but still managing to make an...intimate relationship, but it was tiring too. Especially with someone who seems to run on sugar for a living and dangerous excitement as his oxygen.
It's been how many days since they first met? About less than a week probably, and yet his life seemed to take a complete 180 when he first met the Magician, or at least that was what his gut was telling him anyways. And with the situation he was currently in, his gut feelings were his only accurate thing he could trust completely.
Kaito then decided to slam the door open at that moment, revealing himself and a strange looking man that was the doctor.
"Kudo Shinichi I presume, yes?
"Yes."
"You want to be discharged earlier yes?" A nod. "Your only diagnosis was blood loss, a clean bullet through skin and muscle so under these circumstances, you would usually leave in 2 and a half days or so. However, taking into account the factors of you being safe and ready for discharge, I suppose it would be fine," the doctor stated with a small assuring smile. "I do believe you could tend to the wound yourself if I take into account your medical record, so all you need to to is sign your papers at the front." He bustled around with the needles, taking them out and putting the machines back. "But I do have to say, your regeneration of blood was a lot faster than normal," the doctor suddenly stated with a slight grunt. "It's abnormal and I'm not sure why something like that is happening. I suggest you ask another doctor for your check up."
"Alright, thank you," Shinichi replied with a smile and left the room with Kaito at his heels. They soon got to the front and signed the discharge papers before leaving the hospital.
"So, where should we start looking?," Kaito asked aloud to himself, unable to think of where to start.
"Well why don't we go check the FBI," Shinichi asked casually like it was no big deal. "I mean, the gun was from the FBI right?," he asked the magician unsure.
"Yup, just walk up to an FBI officer and ask 'can I have a look at your guns?' cause that's totally normal," Kaito said with a small laugh. Cause any thief would totally want to ask that right?
"Well, I seem to be very famous for some reason, so why not use my position as a way to ask? My memory is starting to come back, slowly but surely, and I have this feeling that I was involved with the FBI on more than one occasion," Shinichi stated with a grin. "That black haired person I talked about was also probably from the FBI."
"I wouldn't be surprised because the only friends you seem to make are with the police," Kaito sighed dramatically. "Shin-chan, you need to build your social life up more or else your going to end up like Hakuba, always stalking people." With that Shinichi just gaped without a comeback in mind and shut his mouth with a shake of his head.
"I honestly don't think that Hakuba-kun is that bad of a person. Sure he's kind of ...unique, but I wouldn't say he's a stalker," Shinichi finally replied, unable to figure out what made him such an unlikable person. Maybe since they were on the opposite sides of the law? But that would make no sense since he himself was also a detective, or according to Kaito anyways.
"Don't think too hard about it Shin-chan. If you hang around me long enough you'll be annoyed too with someone like him always on your heels," Kaito said with a grumble and pout. "So...where exactly can we go and find the FBI?"
"I don't know, use your magic to find them," Shinichi answered back with a grin. "So where exactly are we going now?"
"Well, we're still in Osaka so why don't we go to Hattori-kun's house? Then we could check on my beautiful birdies," Kaito suggested in a way where no one could really say no. So they walked towards the house, Kaito in the lead, bickering and chatting along the way. But when they did make it there, they were met by a dozen police, all walking around the scene. And the FBI.
"Umm, excuse me but what are the FBI doing here?," Shinichi called out, getting the attention of a few officers. Of course he was ushered back but worked his way in with his status as "the famous detective of the East".
"Shinichiiiii," Kaito whined. "What are we doingggggg?"
"Looking at the FBI obviously," he replied bluntly, the magician continuing to whine behind him non-stop.
Suddenly a blonde woman came up to them. Someone who Shinichi recognized. Where and how? Well, no idea. But he did know she was definitely important.
"Hello!," she said with a smile, pushing her glasses up slightly. "You must be Kudo Shinichi! Conan-kun has talked so much about you so I looked into you a bit more! It's a pleasure to finally meet you!"
"Y-yeah. Nice to meet you too..."
"Oh! I'm Jodie. Jodie Starling."
"Nice to meet you Ms.Jodie."
Kaito cleared his throat, reminding Shinichi that he was there.
"Oh. I wasn't aware that you had a twin brother," Jodie commented with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh, no no Miss.Jodie," Kaito spoke up with a smile. "I'm not a brother of any sort. We are related in a very very different way," he said with a very sexual wink, earning himself a very sharp nudge in the rub that would have anyone else keeling over. "Don't deny it Shin-chan."
"O-oh," Jodie stuttered with a small laugh. "Well I heard that you got shot Shinichi-kun. Are you okay?"
"Ah, yes. I got discharged a bit early though because of a certain somebody," Shinichi replied, a sharp glare aimed at Kaito for a split second.
"It was out of good will," Kaito replied cheerfully, deflecting the glare nervously.
"Have you figured anything out?," Shinichi asked in a serious tone.
"It seems like it's one of our people so we got here to check out the scene. We checked the guns from our people already but no results came up, meaning this person is very good at their job." The woman sighed. "If only it was that simple to find them."
At this Kaito perked up.
"Jodie-san, please explain who 'they' are," Kaito said in a questioning tone. At this he noticed the blonde start to panic a bit at having slipped up. So 'they' could only be...
He leaned in and whispered in her ear the two words, 'black organization' in her ear and felt her blood freeze.
"N-no, of course not. They got taken out several months ago," she forcibly laughed.
"Ms.Jodie, please learn how to act better. You can't hide yourself in the eye of a magician," Kaito replied as if it was a threat and felt himself get tugged back by an annoyed Shinichi.
"Your making her uncomfortable you idiot," he said with a twitching eyebrow.
"But Shin-channnnn," Kaito whined and glomped on his could be brother. "We need to know this."
"Then we could go somewhere else and talk instead of having about all of the police stare at us," he said, saying the last part loud enough for everyone who was eavesdropping to hear. Everyone straightened up abruptly and got back to their work, some fumbling around with the stuff they dropped from being startled.
"Oh, sure," Jodie answered and led them away to a quiet spot on the street. "So, I assume you know about the Black Organization." The boys nodded their heads slightly. "Well, I'm not completely sure it's really them who did this, but it could be very possible," she said in a grim whisper. "Whenever you think you finally got rid of them, they come back with a bang."
"Do you have any idea who's in charge of the Organization as of now?," Shinichi asked in a low voice. He didn't know what knowing this would help with anything, but his mind was now filling up with unanswered questions, as if trying to make him a path down memory lane with them.
"Well, If it were to speak honestly, I don't think they are as powerful as the original black organization. The group that first attacked us used wines and alcohol as code names, But this time, they are using animals as code names." At this, Kaito shot up as if he was hit by a brick.
"A-are you sure?," he stuttered, unable to process this information properly. At this she nodded silently at.
"If you want to talk more about this, we should go somewhere nore...private," Jodie said with a slight smile.
"No, it's okay, we will talk about it another time," Shinichi answered for him and Kaito both. He dragged away the stunned magician who was now processing this information bits at a time, fitting pieces into his broken timeline.
It's been what, 3 months since he's even seen Snake? But it would all make sense if they changed their focus onto something else, something bigger and possibly better. The more Kaito was figuring it out, the more horror he felt. This meant that somewhere out there, Snake was watching both him and Shinichi. And if they were in the same spot....
"Well, Shin-chan, I think we got ourselves into a much bigger problem than what we first thought huh," he said with a KID grin now playfully bouncing on his lips.
"Why don't you stop being a weirdo and figure out what we have to do next," Shinichi asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, if I can trust the FBI to find the shooter, then we need to find out how exactly this new 'Black Organization' might run now," Kaito answered, tapping a finger to his chin. His face then lit up. "Who better to ask than the Spawn of Satan herself?"
With this, he dragged Shinichi into Hattori house and into their guest room. Flipping open his phone, he quickly fpimd the number he was looking for and dialed.
Three rings. And connected.
"Hello ojou-san," he said with a devilish grin.
"Oh hello Mr.KID. How's that idiot Kudo-kun doing?," Haibara answered back casually. "And when are you going to send me his blood samples? I need to figure out what exactly went wrong in the Apotoxin."
"Woah woah, too many questions," Kaito laughed. "Well hear me out first because I know you're going to want to know."
Haibara breathed on sharply, hearing the rare seriousness in the boy's voice. "Alright then, go on."
"I think the organization that was after me, is now going after your little lab rat here," he said. There was silence on the other line. "They use animal code names. I wanted to know if you knew anything about them because it would really help."
"God I wish you were kidding."
"I don't kid when it comes to these things. You should know at least that much since you have a good lie detector built into you, no?"
There was a sigh. Then rustling of paper.
"Snake. Leader of another branch in the Organization, who of course, also works under anokata. He's a killer, and looking for Pandora, for immortality. He and his crew are one of the weaker branches, like a side project of sorts." With this Haibara sighed. "If you have that idiot with you. You'll be fine. He's been through more than you can think. So if his instincts kick in and his adrenaline starts running, he'll be a life saver."
"Yeah, okay. Thanks ojou-san," Kaito said with a sigh, taking her last few words as comfort. Or as good as comfort can really get.
"Ahem."
Startled, Kaito jumped up, scaring half of his birds, covering himself in feathers.
"Care to explain what happen to me since I feel like a piece of garbage being dragged around everywhere," Shinichi asked annoyed. "I feel like the third wheel in a relationship, and I feel like I've been in that position more times than I can remember. So tell me before I get pissed."
"Geez Shin-chan, what's pushing your buttons so hard?," Kaito asking with just a hint of concern.
"Maybe the fact that my head is feeling like shit since the talk with Ms.Jodie and my body hurts all over," he said with a bit of pain and a sharp grin.
"Shin-chan?," Kaito called out, but Shinichi's sight wouldn't focus properly. He felt cold pressure to his forehead.
"Shin-chan! Holy- your burning up!," Kaito said, getting up sharply.
Hmm, what was going on again? Shinichi kept his breathing as calm as he can. It was like trying to breath with no air. His body felt like fire and it wasn't a good feeling. It was like his cells were generating faster and faster. No, that was exactly what was happening.
Blood generating faster than normal? His cells were trying to heal him with minimal time.
His vision blurred even more, some blurs moving around in a panicked state.
Ha. Serves the stupid thief right. And with that Shinichi passed out cold.
Heyyyyy guys. Yup yup, I know. It's been a long freaking time since I've updated. Smack me all you want, it's my fault for being stupid. So I will gladly take the hits.
I've been living the life of a lazy ass bum, watching YouTube while drawing and scrolling through Tumblr, Pinterest, and Deviant art. But now?
Time to get back to Wattpad!!!
Thanks for being patient everybody!!
