1002 Words excluding (A/N)~ I don't own Magic Kaito~ If I did, the manga would be longer~

I has a new Magic Kaito oneshot called Electrifying Escape ~~

The blond's gaze didn't falter as the brunette glanced away. "Hakuba, please don't start accusing me of being Kid" Kaito sighed. "You were doing so well before"

'Kuroba is seriously going to fight me on this?'

"Kuroba, you and me both know that the moment Kid gets caught, he's basically dead. I do not want you to die, how many times do I have to restate myself?" Saguru replied, voice low so as not to attract any attention.

Kaito's left wing twitched, eliciting a hiss from the teen. The magician hung his head, closing his eyes in defeat. "Fine you win Hakuba, knowing you, you'd stick your nose in where it doesn't belong and end up shot" Kaito's sighed, his adrenalin rush finally ending.

'Finally, though I wish he could have admitted it under a more acceptable situation'

Saguru let himself smile at the admittance, knowing that he'd have to wait for the full explanation at a later date. "Thank you Kuroba, I promise not to misuse any of the information that I've learned today" The magician nodded, leaning his forehead against Saguru's shoulder, too tired to hold himself up. "I believe we should head back to your house" He added, noting the other's lack of energy.

'So many adrenaline rushes in such a short period of time probably isn't good for him'

Kaito hummed in response, too tired to voice his agreement. "Can I call Baaya? I have complete faith in how trustworthy she is" Saguru inquired, not wanting to alert anyone without Kaito's permission but also not knowing if said magician could make it back.

"Yes, I've researched her" The brunette let out a yawn before continuing. "She wouldn't do anything to break your trust, and she has no control over me" He finished, thinking about how his mother would try to hide him from the world for his own protection, him being Kaitou Kid was already almost too much for her.

'I guess Kid's research can be useful, if not highly intrusive at times'

"Thank you, I didn't want to carry you all the way back while hiding in the shadows" Saguru replied, pulling out his phone and dialling Baaya.

"Young master?" Baaya's voice questioned.

"Can you come pick me and Kuroba up? We're...." His voice trailed off for a moment as he took in his surroundings. "We're in an ally between Hatchico Street and Hateno Street, can you bring one of the less flashy cars and park near the entrance?" He asked, despite knowing that she would do as requested.

"Of course Saguru, I take it Kuroba-Kun is feeling much better?" Baaya asked, Golden eyes glanced towards Kaito, noting how the teen had fallen asleep.

"Sort of, it's hard to explain, but please keep what you're about to find out to yourself" He replied, glancing at the wings.

"Of course"

It had been somewhat difficult carrying Kaito down the ladder, thankfully he didn't weigh much and he'd found a rope to secure the teen into his back. It had been like wearing a heavy backpack with the way Kaito had unconsciously wrapped around him.

'He's always had a horrible sense of personal space'

When he spotted Baaya, he peeked out of the ally before exiting when he noted that the street was empty. Swiftly he opened the back door and deposited Kaito inside before someone came around the corner. "Oh my..." Baaya's voice trailed off when she spotted the wings.

"I'll explain on the way" Saguru replied softly as he settled Kaito into the seat as gently as he could before buckling him in. He hoped that the position didn't further damage the magician's wings.

"What happened to the two of you?" Baaya questioned softly once Saguru was seated in the passenger seat. He looked down at himself in surprise, he'd forgotten about his minor injuries.

"I don't know how he got wings, but I'm assuming his illness stemmed from the sudden growth of them" The blond paused before continuing. "When I found out about them... Kuroba panicked and took off, he's not in a good mental place right now. He was scared of being outed and experimented on" He glanced back at the sleeping boy. "I think the state of his wings was intentional, he mentioned just chopping them off"

'I'm worried about what he would have done if I hadn't found out...'

"Poor dear, to think he went through all that..." Baaya sighed softly, worrying for the teen. From everything she'd heard about him, she didn't believe he deserved it. "At least he has you on his side, or I should hope so"

Saguru smiled at the veiled threat. "I've told him I wouldn't use any of his secrets against him. I don't plan to back down on my word" Baaya nodded in acceptance.

"By secrets, do you mean he told you?" She prodded, knowing that her ward would know exactly what she was hinting at.

"Yes, though I do not know the reasons, I trust that there is an acceptable one" Saguru replied softly, he couldn't help but feel slight elation at being right.

'It's a somewhat bittersweet way to be proven right'

"Instead Of Kuroba-Kun's home, I think we should take him to the manor. It would put less stress on him to know that his friend Nakamori-san wouldn't be able to find him" Baaya suggested, stopping at the red light.

Saguru hummed in thought. "He has doves, most of them can care for themselves, but one of the younger ones is still in training. I wouldn't want to put stress on her due to being in Watson's proximity..." Saguru replied, remembering how Kaito seemed to adore his doves.

"S'Fine... Tsuki can handle it..." Kaito yawned, rubbing his eyes sleepily. "She's probably following the car, just don't let them in the same room"

Saguru glanced back with a small smile. "Go back to sleep Kuroba, I'll make sure she makes it in" Kaito gave a tired nod before letting himself fall back asleep.

Me: that's the end of this chappy~ hope you enjoyed~
