Our Secret

Chapter 20 : Finale

"Hello," a voice whispered from beside her.

Shiho turned to her left, and saw Kaito sat, staring at her, his eyes looking oddly sad.

She bolted upright, speaking so fast Kaito barely had time to keep up, "What happened? Where's everyone? How did I get here? Did they-the bags! The explosives in the bags-"

Kaito slowly got off his chair and and slid next to the bed next to her, he placed a finger to her lips and Shiho pushed his hand away furiously, she opened her mouth to say something but Kaito cut her off before she had a chance to utter another word.

"Shiho," he breathed, "be quiet or believe me, I'll shut you up myself and you may not enjoy it."

Shiho stared at him, then raised an eyebrow and said, "Why wouldn't I enjoy it?"

"Well," he said, and eyed her so intently she wanted to look away, "it depends what you're into. If you're the kinky type-"

"Kaito!" She snapped.

"That's what you'll be screaming in bed, baby."

Her face flushed red, "W-what is wrong with you! Pervert."

He smiled, "We've already established that I'm a pervert a long time ago, and you know what, Shiho?

"What?" She said.

"It's over, everything. That member of the Black Organization was caught and so were his accomplices. You have your body back, so does Shinichi-"

"It's not over," she hissed at him. "This antidote wasn't supposed to be permanent! I clearly made an error. I never wanted to remain in this body. Gin, Vodka, they're all still out there-"

"Shh, babe," Kaito whispered, "yes, you're still in this body. And from this angle, it's a pretty great body. I love the way your-"

"Kaito!"

"Okay, jokes aside. Yes, they're still out there. But you know what? So what if they are? We're the good guys, and as cliche as that sounds, good always beats evil. And we're in this together. Don't think for a second that you're in this alone."

Shiho wasn't comforted in the slightest, and it was evident in her expression.

"I know I can't make you pretend like you're not in danger, but I sure can make you forget it for a while," his voice was slow and husky, and he raised an eyebrow quizzically.

Shiho had to look away for a while.

When she looked back, he leaned in and his lips were on hers before she could let out her breath.

He gripped her waist and flipped them so she was on top, straddling him in a way that made her insides melt.

Kaito smirked at her and said, "Don't I get a thank you for saving your life?" Then he jerked his hips upwards; her face turned bright red when she realized what he wanted. Shiho stared at him wide eyed.

"I'm just kidding, darling. Unless you want to, that is.." he chuckled and sat up straight.

Shiho stated at him, "So.. what's gonna happen now?"

"You can be my gorgeous, sexy assistant in my next heist?"

She smiled, "Or maybe you can be my own personal lab rat?"

"Mhmm, sounds lovely."

"Will you ever stop being a pervert?"

"Not as long as you're in love with me, no." He smiled at her.

Her face was shocked, she stammered: "I-I never said-"

"I know you didn't, but I know it. Wanna know how? Because the look in your eyes... it's the same one I have when I look at you."

"Kaito... I... " she began.

"You what, darling?"

"I lov-"

"Don't say it, babe." He smirked at her, "Show me."
