Part 12

During their fast steps echoing through the monotonous floors of the seemingly old yet heavily secured building, Shinichi couldn't help but flush the whole time a cute shade of pink as the thief held onto his hand while Kaito kept an emotionless pokerface, something what didn't only scare Hakuba but confuse the recently awakened Hattori too.

Kaito never had any problem to collect a few uniforms, for gods sake, he wasn't called phantom thief just for the heck of it. Costumed to absolutely no recognization, all four of them searched through the endless seeming manor in need of any way to contact the outside world.
"They probably send signals to disturb phone communication" KID scowled quietly towards the detectives, a valid proof for his argument following, "Considering they all wear headsets on a specific frequence to communicate with each other, no prisoner should ever find a way out of this maze."
Hakuba gave a small nod at this before he took a sharp inhale, pushing his companions around the next corner. His detective senses were coming through as he heard the footsteps of somebody approaching.
"Did you hear? They finally got Hattori too."
"Now only Mouri Kogoro is missing. But he is a dimwit, we actually could leave him be. We all know that Edogawa boy was the real mastermind behind his success."
A smirk came onto Shinichi's face as he raised his head in a proud and slightly arrogant manner. Hattori clenched his teeth, a deep growl emitting from his throat.
"Imma show them what it means to get something hit on ya head...!"
"Shut your mouth."
KID hissed quietly at the detective, luckily the two enemies didn't notice them and walked further.

After a long time of running and hiding the four showed light hints of exhaustion, considering their current condition. But as always, Lady Luck was on KID's side and Kudo's curse followed right behind:
A dead member of the organization, suffocated on a piece of flesh from his lunch.
None of those four expression changed at the discovery, a small whistle emitting from Kaito's throat as he picked up his headset together with a small map of the building.
"Lucky me~ But that isn't anything new after all."
While the detectives merely huffed Kaito unfolded the map and shortly scanned over it, putting it away before the three could even recognize the exit.
"Found it. Lets go."
Oh, Shinichi's blood was boiling the whole time as closer they got towards the exit. He was as eager as ever to spoil the plans of the remaining members of the Black Organization and it almost scared him to be this exited.
Thanks to Kaito's talents as a thief they all managed to sneak out unharmed, well, despite for the headache Heiji, KID and Shinichi suffered from.

An hour later everything was over. Both the FBI and the task force arrested all of them and everybody was glad to notice nobody did escape. Kaito watched the detective of the east with a small smile. Seeing him all emotional was adorable, however, it appealed even more to the thief to know he was the only one in whose near Shinichi would show such behavior.
A loud clack rudely pried him out of his thoughts as he felt his hands trapped inside handcuffs and himself in the next second pushed against a wall. Heiji and Shinichi both flinched at that, their eyes darting over to a victorious looking Hakuba.
"Ha! I finally caught you, Kaito KID! Not that I awaited anything else of course. And now I finally will get to know your true motives behind your heists!"
"I ask you to let go of me before I use force, Tantei-san."
"Ya cannot arrest KID, yo! Ya gotta let 'im go."
"God uncuff him already, he saved our lives! We do owe him that one."

With so much negative responses around him, Hakuba hesitated yet unlocked the handcuffs under quiet protests once again and stepped backwards away from KID. The phantom rubbed gently his wrists and smiled his blank polite smile, with a short cover of smoke reappearing inside his famous white suit.
"My gratitude for your mercy, yet I do have matters I need to discuss with you Meitantei~"
Of course already guessing what this was about, Heiji showed a knowing smile towards Shinichi.
"Lucky man ya are, thousands of fangirls would kill for that."
Shinichi was confused about this all yet followed the thief to a place both were alone inside. The male in white cleared his throat in an awkward manner, causing Shinichi to blush lightly.

"I-is it about the kiss...?"

Oh how right he was, KID immediately set up his infamous smirk and inched a step closer.
"You see Meitantei, you might not like it but we are bound by fate. We only own a half soul~ A witch told me to find my counterpart if I wanted to enjoy living for a full human lifespan and not only half of it... She promised me my counterpart to be emotionless, a person of pure logic. I would notice this with ease... In near of each other, we would experience the other's behavior. I will take over the emotionless traits of my counterpart while they would take over my fierce emotions..."
Shinichi froze as he heard this, it seemed unbelievable to him yet his emotions running wild told him something diffeent.
"...I... I am your counterpart. And you kissed me to be really sure about it. Isn't that true? And... I would only live half of the lifespan. That must be the reason I sometimes am in pain all randomly... you were injured and I felt it too."
"Isn't someone really sharp there~? Shinichi, we need to bind fully to both own a real soul."

Being the gentleman thief Kaito was, he lowered himself down onto one knee and grasped the hand of his beloved detective he risked his life to save.
"Shinichi, would you be mine?"
Normally Shinichi would have immediately sent the next soccer ball straight into his face but the fact how he purred his first name sent shivers down his back. So many people fell for his charm, could he help it? Kudo was just going to be one of them.
