Finally, after a long absence, I return!

And this time, with my first Detective Conan/Magic Kaito fic!

Un-betaed, but there probably aren't any major mistakes. Oh yeah, and I don't own anything.

By the way, I have no idea where I'm going with this. No storyline written out, just on-the-spot typing.

But hey, read on! And review.

Key:

"Talking"

Conan thinking

Kid thinking

Conan groaned as he came to.

What happened? Why was I unconscious?

Okay, start with something simple. He was in a large, vacant room, probably inside a mansion. Window open, light breeze, full moon. Nothing inside the room except an unlit chandelier, and an open glass holding case…..

He frowned as the memories slowly came back.

He'd been at a Kid heist. He'd caught up with Kid in the room where the jewel was kept, laid out his deduction, gotten ready for the showdown…..

Then Kid had raised the jewel to the moonlight, a flash of bright purple light…

Conan glanced around him. The jewel was on the ground.

But where was Kid?

It isn't like him to just leave, Conan thought, he would have left a card or something and I can't see his hang-glider….

Ugh…..what happened?

Conan nearly had a heart attack. S-something just spoke in my head that wasn't me!

….Whoa, tantei-kun? Huh?...what...why...OH! Uh-oh…..

That's Kid's voice!

"Where are you, Kid?" Conanyelled. "Quit messing with me!" He whirled around furiously, but no one was there.

I'm sure I heard his voice! Where is he? Is this another one of his tricks?

Calm down. You're hyperventilating.

There it is again! Conan readied his stun-gun watch, but stopped.

No, that wasn't speaking….I didn't hear it….it was almost like it came from….inside my head?

Took you a while. Honestly.

Oh my god. WHAT DID YOU DO?

Um, well…ever heard of magic gems?

Magic isn't—

Hear me out. That gem I was gonna steal, it had this legend surrounding it…..something about the full moon and 'two minds being linked together'.

Conan groaned out loud. So you're saying….

I'm stuck inside your head? Yup.

Any idea of how to undo it?

Nope.

Conan smacked his head against the wall.

That's not going to help. Hey, what's this?

Conan felt a disturbing sensation going through his head, as if someone were going through his mind.

Whoa, you're actually Kudo Shinichi? Ha! I knew it!

Stay out of my memories!

You should clean out your brain, tantei-kun. It's kinda messy in here. The sensation continued.

S-stop it!

Kid ignored him. Aw, you and Ran Mouri? How cute!

You….

Conan sighed and stood up, dusting his clothes off. Pocketing the gem, he walked out of the room.

Hey, where're you going?

"Home." Conan realized he had talked out loud out of sheer force of habit, and shut his mouth. It'd look weird if he talked to himself.

What about me?

I can't stay here, so—

"Conan-kun!"

Conan turned around. "Ah, Ran-neechan!"

Kid snickered. Conan tried to ignore him.

Ran walked towards him, frowning. "Were you trying to catch Kaitou Kid again?"

"Ah, well…." Conan grinned sheepishly. "He flew away before I could stop him, and he took the gem too!"

EH? But you've—

Shh! Conan thought furiously, then remembered that Ran couldn't hear them anyways.

Ran frowned. "You shouldn't have run off like that!"

"Gomen…"

Ran looked at Conan, who was looking very downcast and sorry. She sighed and took his hand. "Alright then, let's go home."

"Hai, Ran-neechan…" And as for you... Conan directed this thought towards Kid. Just keep quiet.

Kid grumbled, but Conan ignored him.

Kid was quiet for the whole car trip, and actually remained quiet until Conan was in his pajamas and lying in bed, the gem safely hidden a corner of his pillowcase. If Conan didn't know better, he would have thought that Kid was gone.

But no, there was still this lingering presence in the back of his head. Kid was still there.

Can we talk now?

We could have 'talked' any time.

Good point.

So...what happened to your physical body?

No idea. I'm guessing it…..dissolved or disappeared or something like that, and my consciousness was transferred to your mind.

Great. Any ideas?

Yes. I know someone…she may be able to help.

She?

Yes. Hey, what are you implying?

Nothing. Now if you've got something worked out, I'm going to sleep, Kid.

Kaito.

Eh? You want me to call you Kaitou?

Oh, KAITO…..

Wait, is that your real name? That is SO—

It could be an alias for all you know.

Most likely it is, but….oh, ha ha!

Good NIGHT, tantei-kun.

Smirking, Conan rolled over and closed his eyes.

A minute later, he opened them.

Would you stop that?

Eh? Stop what?

Humming!

I always do that. Helps me sleep.

Kaito resumed humming. Conan groaned.

It was going to be a long night…

Anyways, what do you think? Reviews would be greatly appreciated. The more reviews, the more I write. This isn't a bribe, it's just what I'm like.

And to the people who favorite/alert without reviewing: That's nice, too, but I like reviews WAY better.

I'm writing this while I should be working, so I'll end this.
