“Kaito!!” A girl shouted at a running boy, “Come back here and stay still!!”
“Why?” the boy asked and kept running around the room, “I don’t want to get hit by your mop,” he said grinning at the fumed girl.
The girl was twitching her eyebrows and sighed, “I’ll get you for this later Kaito.”
“Ha! Aoko had just surrendered.” He grinned further. Aoko clenched her fists harder. Kaito noticed this and said, “Oh come on Aoko! That was just a joke.”
Aoko sighed, “I know it’s a joke but… oh well.” She looked at Kaito and grinned. Kaito blinked.
“What?” he asked Aoko.
“To make up for doing that to me, you’re going to take me to Tokyo tomorrow.” Aoko answered, grin growing wider.
“T-Tokyo? Why there?” Kaito asked again.
“Because otou-san and I were supposed to go there tomorrow but he can’t.”
“Oh. Is that because of Kid?” he asked mockingly.
Aoko glared at Kaito, “Kid just wastes otou-san’s time! That good for nothing thief. Always showing off. What a…” Aoko continues to rant about Kid.
After minutes of ranting about Kaitou Kid, Aoko breathed in and exhaled. She sighed. How many times was it that she told Kaito about Kid? ‘It probably makes him more excited about Kid’ Aoko thought.
Kaito shrugged this off and said, “Alright I’m going tomorrow.”
“Really? That’s great!” Aoko hopped happily.
“When and where to meet tomorrow?” Kaito asked
“Hmm… Beika Street 5, Mouri Detective Agency. About one in the afternoon.” Aoko answered.
“Wa—wait. Did you just say Mouri Detective Agency?” Kaito asked a bit worriedly but kept his poker face.
“Yeah. Otou-san and I were going there tomorrow to ask something from him.”
Kaito gulped. ‘Okay… now I have to go to Tokyo, and of all places, Tantei-kun’s house. Tomorrow will be…’
Kaito was shot out of his thoughts when Aoko added, “I’m going there to baby-sit Conan-kun while Mouri-tantei investigates the case in this envelope.” She said as she held out a brown envelope.
‘Baby-sit? Tantei-kun needing a babysitter? Now that’s new’ he thought. “Ok sure. I’ll go with you.”

Friday (9:00 pm)
--Mouri Detective Agency--
“Neh. Why can’t I go tomorrow?” a little boy asked a teenage girl and a man at his desk.
”It’s because you’ll just be a pain in the neck. Brat.” The man in the desk answered.
“Come on otou-san! Don’t call him brat. Jeez. He has a name you know.” The girl looked at the boy and said, “Don’t worry Conan-kun. I’ll be here with you and the babysitter.”
‘Darn. Why the heck do I, high school detective of the East Kudo Shinichi, need a babysitter?’ he thought and frowned. “Yatta! Ran-neechan is staying!” he said in his cute boy voice.
Ran smiled down at him and told her dad, “’Tou-san don’t screw your case.”
“Hai hai. Whatever.”
“We should sleep now Conan-kun.” Ran told her sort-of little brother who nodded.
They went to their rooms and just as Conan got to his, he sighed. He crawled up his bed and thought of several things, ‘tomorrow is going to be long for sure. Wonder what case that useless detective will get.’

Saturday (6:00 am)
--Mouri Detective Agency--
He looked up at the clock… ‘Great, just great’ he sighed and got up. ‘I can’t believe I woke up because of this stupid tantei.’ He glared at Kogoro who was snoring really loud. ‘Oh well. Wonder if Ran made breakfast already.’
He went to the kitchen and saw Ran preparing their breakfast. Ran noticed him and said, “Wow Conan-kun you’re early!”
“Can’t get back to sleep, Ran-neechan.” Conan told her.
“Just wait for a while. Breakfast is going to be ready at about a minute.”
“Hai!”
Ran went back to making breakfast. Conan went down to the agency. ‘Taku. What am I going to do? It’s too early.’ He noticed a bird outside the windows of the agency. He went near it and saw a white dove. It was still there… ‘What’s this doing here?’ he thought as he got the dove and noticed a paper at it’s feet. “Hm? What’s this?” he took off the paper from the dove’s feet and it flew away. Conan blinked and opened the paper.
To Tantei-kun,
It seems that you will meet two of the people closest to me... be… hospitable.
-Kaitou Kid
‘Kid? Two people closest to him? And what’s this… be… hospitable.’ Conan chuckled. He smirked as he got out and went back to the third floor.

Ran noticed that Conan was a bit happier than yesterday. Wondering what happened that made his mood better, she asked, “Did something happen, Conan-kun?”
“Hn? Oh it’s nothing. Just thinking who it might be coming later.” He answered. Well it was part of the truth but what he really wanted was to see who these people closest to Kid are.
Ran giggled, ‘he’s actually happy that someone was coming here later’.

Saturday (12:30 pm)
“Kaito let’s go in already.” Aoko told her childhood friend.
“You go on ahead Aoko. I’m just going to check something out.” Kaito told Aoko.
“Alright but come inside in 1 minute or else.” Aoko threatened him.
“Uhh…. Alright I’ll just be here. Get inside already.” Kaito insisted.
Aoko knocked on the door. Kaito was just behind her, doing something she doesn’t want to know. An answer came from behind the door. “Coming!” a female voice said and the door was opened.
Kaito looked at the door as it opened. “Hi there!” he greeted and looked behind the girl in front of him. He grinned as he saw a child sitting on the couch and he looked back at the girl, still grinning.
“Shi—Shinichi? Oh sorry... Are you the clients?” the girl asked.
“Yes we are.” Aoko answered.
“Ah! Come in come in.” the girl said.
The child looked at the two with watchful eyes and placed a knowing grin.
“Is he the kid we’re going to baby-sit, ma’am?” Kaito pointed at the boy.
“Yes, his name is Conan Edogawa. I’m Mouri Ran.” Ran answered.
“I’m Kuroba Kaito, yoroshiku.”
“I’m Nakamouri Aoko,” she said taking out a brown envelope and giving it to Ran, “This is the case material otou-san asked me to deliver here.”
“Arigatou. Dad! Here’s the case. Don’t screw up.” She said as she handed him the envelope.
“Taku. I know what I need to do Ran.” He said as he stood up and walked to the doorway, “Keep an eye on that brat,” she received a death glare from Ran, “I mean Conan.”
Kaito laughed and Aoko responded, “Of course!”
After Kogoro left the agency, Kaito and Aoko sat at the couch.
“So, what do you plan for today, Ran-san and Conan-kun?” Aoko inquired.
“We haven’t really thought of what to do today…” Ran answered.
“Why not the two of you go shopping, I’ll stay with Conan-kun.” Kaito said.
“Are you sure Kaito?” Aoko asked.
“Yeah, I can take care of the kid.” He said, “Just enjoy yourselves,” and smiled.
Aoko and Ran had gone out shopping leaving Conan and Kaito, Detective and Kaitou, in the agency. There was silence for minutes and…
Conan looked at Kaito a bit oddly and asked, “Kaito-niisan, why do you look like Shinichi-niisan?”
“Shinichi? The high school detective Shinichi Kudo?” Kaito asked the Conan.
“Un! You look too alike. Just comb your hair a bit and you’ll look exactly like him!” Conan said.
“But even if I look like him, I’m different.”
“In what sort Kaito-niisan?”
“I’m a magician, he’s a detective. We’re different.” Kaito answered and thought, ‘uh oh… he’s starting to interrogate.’
“Hmmm... souka” Conan said as he put his index and thumb at his chin.
Conan’s POV
This guy might be Kid. His name… Kaito, sounds just like Kaitou… Nah. If this person was Kid, why would he give a letter to me? But if he is Kid… is he trying to challenge me? ‘Two people closest to me’… was what he said. That means that that girl is probably his girlfriend. Yeah…probably. Well… I have the whole day today to find out if he is Kaitou Kid.
Kaito’s POV
He’s probably thinking if I am Kid or not. Heck why did I tell him I’m a magician? Taku. I have to keep my identity secret for about only 5 hours. I don’t think that would be enough time for Tantei-kun to get evidence against me. I’ll just lead him into the wrong direction. Oh wait. I almost forgot the reason I came here. I have to find out whether or not this kid is Kudo Shinichi.
There was silence again… probably because of the two people thinking of a way to make the other slip up and reveal his secret. The silence was broken when Kaito spoke, “So, what are we going to do Conan?”
“Beats me.” he answered, “and I don’t want to go to a park.”
Kaito blinked, ‘that was just what I was thinking…’, and said “How about going somewhere you want.”
“Hmm… I’m not particularly in the mood to go outside” Conan said and added “… Kid.”
“Kid? What are you saying?”
“Don’t act innocent Kaitou Kid. I know that’s you.”
“Oh… and do you have evidence that I am Kid?” Kaito asked.
“Not really. But I do know that you’re Kid. That confident smirk… I know that’s the same smirk Kid has. I’ve also been feeling his presence once you and Aoko-neechan came inside. That means, it’s either you or her but since she’s out and I can still sense Kid, which leaves me with you. By the way, you really look like him; just add the monocle and hat, and poof you’re Kaitou Kid.” He explained.
“That’s some accusations there kiddo but I’m not Kid.”
“Why? Why are you risking your life by being Kid?” Conan looked at him seriously.
‘Does this kid ever listen?’ he thought and said, “Conan, I am not Kaitou Kid…but … I am sure he has his reasons for being Kid.”
“Guess so.”
There was silence again and now it was broken by Conan who said, “I’m going to hakase’s.”
“I’m coming with you. Can’t leave you alone now.” Kaito said.
Conan frowned and said, “Alright but don’t do anything.”
‘What is this kid thinking?’ Kaito thought.
They went out of the Mouri Detective Agency and went to Professor Agasa’s house.
