(KIDxAoko)
Disclaimer: No. If you're thinking I own Magic Kaito, then think again..
Engineer MOTZ1412: A pleasant day to all the passengers! This is your locomotive engineer, Aikamotz and I will be with you for today's train trip. Today's destination would be "How to Save a Life I". On behalf of the my locomotive crew, thank you for taking LOVE EXPRESS, where every story has its own fantasy.
"This is Flight JKY528. No sign of him, over," a pilot radioed over. "Okay. Don't let your guards down. Signing off," a man in blue suit, Officer Takashii, radioed back.
It was 9 pm in Beika Museum and the Ruby of Fenris was still, we can say, alive. In a room, 2 floors down where the Ruby was, full of T.V. monitors, all focused on the Ruby. There, an irritated man stood, glued to his cell phone and commanding his troops. Yes, it was none other than Inspector Nakamori.
"I don't care about your broken ankle! Just go find that KID!" he shouted over his phone and hung up, "officers these days.. they just don't have the skills," he murmured. Conan, who sat on the couch, laughed with half-moon eyes, "oi, oi, look who's talking," he thought.
"Inspector, no sign of him yet," Officer Takashii, Inspector Nakamori's assistant, reported. "What do you mean? KID's arrival is 3 hours away," Inspector Nakamori raised his eyebrow.
"No, Inspector. I mean, the kid you were talking about a while ago," Officer Takashii whispered, "you know. Miss Aoko's friend," he smiled.
"Bah! Whatever. He will arrive when he arrives," Inspector Nakamori angrily said. Mouri Kogoro stood by the window, watching Inspector Megure's helicopter circling the museum, "Oi, Conan. Tell Ran we'll be late," he said without looking at the boy. Conan looked at him with half-moon eyes and left the room.
"Where is he?" a nervous girl tapped her shoe. She glanced at her phone but then kept it again, "he's late. He might not see KID," she thought. "Aoko, tell your magician friend to hurry up," Inspector Nakamori commanded, "KID might be here already," he murmured.
When Nakamori Aoko was about to leave the room, "Inspector, the owner of the museum wants you, yourself, to guard the Ruby," an officer saluted. Inspector Nakamori nodded. "Can I come?" Aoko asked, "please?" she folded her hands. "Hmph! Alright," her father continued to walk.
------------------------
Nakamori Aoko's Point of View
You may be wondering why I'm with my dad and am expecting Kuroba Kaito. You see, I promised to let him have a glance at KID since Kaito's birthday was yesterday. He agreed but it seems that something caught his attention and now, he's really late. I wonder what happened.
Anyway, me and my father went inside the room where the ruby was. The owner shook my father's hand, "thank you very much for volunteering to protect my father's collection," he said.
"It's nothing. Besides, this may be the chance to catch-" I elbowed my dad, "I mean, it's a great honor, sir."
"This must be your daughter. I heard a friend of yours is coming to see the commotion, right?"
"Well," I looked down at my feet, "I don't think he's coming," I smiled.
"That's too bad. My daughter is also a fan of KID's," he smiled.
"Oh no. I'm not a fan actually-" "I'll be leaving the rest to you now, inspector," the owner didn't seemed to hear me. My father saluted and the owner left.
You may also be wondering why Inspector Megure, Conan and Mr. Mouri are here. Well, an inspector, higher than my dad, asked for back up. Little Conan also wanted to see KID himself. I, on the other hand, want to catch KID. But I think something will happen tonight. I have a really bad premonition about it.
END of Aoko's POV
-----------------
Meanwhile.. at a school rooftop nearby…
A 17-year-old boy smirked while looking through his high-tech binoculars. "Looks like the inspector is really ought to get me tonight," he giggle, "you think, Jii?" he asked without looking at his old companion. Jii, who was an old servant of Kuroba Kaito's dad, nervously respond, "I don't think Master Toichi is happy about this. I mean, young master, the owner of that museum is your father's comrade," he rubbed his hands.
"I'm not going to steal it," Kuroba Kaito stood up with his white hat. He pulled out his costume and instantly, he was dressed as Kaito KID, "I'm simply 'borrowing' it," he said with his oh-so-adorable smirk.
"B-but, Master Kaito-" "Shh!" Kuroba put his index finger against his own lips, silencing Jii, "do you hear that?" he asked, while his other hand pulled down his hat, covering his left eye.
Jii looked around and heard applause of people. "They are expecting me," KID said with a smile, "I simply can't disappoint them.. Especially that girl who assuming I would come," he turned his head a little towards the direction of the museum.
"Who may that be?" Jii asked while looking at his master.
"That, my dear accomplice," KID jumped off the building and opened his hang-glider, "is for you to figure out," he smiled and waved back, leaving Jii clueless about his master.
---------
Back to the museum… in the room where the Ruby was..
"I told you not to follow me," Inspector Nakamori raised his eyebrow. "You were the one who agreed to let me and Kuroba tag along," Aoko complained.
"I'll see you later, Aoko,"
"Dad!"
"I mean it, young lady,"
Aoko left the room, disappointed. Not only did she wanted to catch KID, she also wanted see him in person, since a lot of girls from her class liked him. Aoko leaned against the closed door and sighed.
"Are you okay, Aoko-neechan?" Conan, who happened to walk by, asked. "Oh, Conan. Just stay in the room downstairs and guard the Ruby. I'll be fine," Aoko sadly smiled. Conan gave her a little nod and left.
Aoko glanced at her phone again. She stared at it with anger and dialed Kuroba's phone.
-------------
As KID glided, he felt a vibration from his pocket, "shoot, I forgot to give my phone to Jii," he thought. He reached for his pocket while he glided down into an alley near the museum.
------------
"Where are you? I thought we're suppose to meet here in the museum?" Aoko angrily complained.
"Sorry, I have some business to take care of. Just tell me all about KID's features tomorrow,"
"What?! Kuroba!"
But the boy hung up. Aoko angrily kept her phone, "stupid Kuroba. Doesn't he care about MY feelings?" she angrily thought. She leaned her head against the door with a sigh.
Meanwhile, in a room across the room where the Ruby was…
"Boss, a girl is standing in front of the room."
"I think she's Nakamori's daughter, boss."
"Let's kill her."
"Wait. Her father's in that room. By this time, 30 minutes before KID's arrival. Here's the plan.. we wait for KID so that we can steal the Ruby."
"But boss, KID's aim IS the ruby."
"That's where the girl comes in. KID has sensitive side for girls. We can use her as our hostage."
"That's a good plan."
"Boss, how about-"
"Shh! Someone's coming.."
------------
Inside the room, Inspector Nakamori tapped his shoe. "20 minutes before his arrival," he thought. "Get everyone to go to their positions," he radioed over to Officer Takashii. "Roger."
------------
KID ran along the dark alley, his cape fluttering as the wind blew by. He had his smirk spread along his face, indicating that he shall be successful tonight.
Alas, he had reach hi destination, the back door of the museum. He hid behind the post across the street.
"2 cops guarding, huh? Man, inspector's sharp today," he smiled. He pulled his hat down to cover his left eye. Then he walked towards the door.
"Who goes there?" an officer pointed his gun towards a blond-haired man. "Hey," the other elbowed his partner, "isn't he…"
"WHHAAAT?!?!" Nakamori exclaimed from the other line, "that brat's here?"
"Yes, sir. He is requesting your permission to enter-" "Good evening, inspector," Hakuba Saguru smirked. Nakamori could almost hear him smile. "Fine, come up here, to the 4th floor," Nakamori sighed irritatingly.
The officers pulled Hakuba's cheeks, nose and ears. They opened the back door to let Hakuba in.
As soon as he was in, Hakuba walked towards the elevator and pressed the 4th floor. After the elevator's doors closed, Hakuba mingled with the elevator camera which caused the camera to shut off. The boy removed his wig, mask and clothes. "That was easier than the last time," KID smiled.
The elevator came to a stop and the door opened. An officer went in and pressed the 2nd floor and the elevator doors closed.
Above the elevator, there stood a magician with white cape, "that was a close call," the magician wiped his sweat. When the elevator came to a stop, the upper portion of it stopped at an entrance of a vent. KID loosened the screw and went in. As he crawled, a flashlight between his lips, he took a look at the map.
KID planned out his path as he crawled, like a mouse, silently crawling through vents.
