Breaking part 6

The little boy hanging around Kaito was odd, Ginzo mused as he watched them leave Kaito's house. At first when the inspector had seen Edogawa Conan, AKA the KID Killer hanging around Kaito's house he'd been concerned. Wasn't that the very same boy who was known for cornering Kid? He'd quickly realized that yes, that had been Conan and no, the boy wasn't trying to capture Kaito.

The boy had started appearing shortly after Kaito had taken a bullet for him, Ginzo's fingers tightened against the coffee mug. That was something he never wanted to experience ever again. He'd ordered better bullet proof vests for himself and the task force, theirs had been horribly outdated and nobody had seen the point in updating them. They were chasing after a perpetually non-violent phantom thief after all. After that night though, the order for updates vests was fast tracked.

If anybody had noticed how there'd been an extra vest that didn't fit anybody, they didn't comment on it. Nor did they acknowledge how said vest mysteriously disappeared on its route to a different division. Items got misplaced between divisions all the time, it wasn't something to make a huge fuss about.

Ginzo's mind shifted its focus back to that strange boy at Kaito's side, that kid had the same eyes as Kaito barring colour. Those azure eyes hidden behind fake frames were haunted, as if Conan had seen too much despite his young age. Conan knew more than he let on, but Ginzo doubted that he'd ever know just how much that boy knew. It was obvious Conan was hiding is intelligence, since he got nervous whenever questioned about it. That was fine though, he wouldn't pry too deep into Conan's secrets. Not when it could potentially scare the boy away, Kaito needed Conan.

That little boy that he'd once seen as nothing more as an annoying nuisance was helping Kaito, helping in ways that Ginzo just couldn't help with. Ginzo couldn't openly talk about Kaito's problems with his moonlight persona, he just couldn't. He was the leader of the task force specifically set up to chase Kaitou Kid, no matter the trust between them Kaito couldn't risk it. If the magician ever risk it, Ginzo'd scold him about his recklessness. Too many eyes were on them.

Conan though, he was just a little child, a freakishly smart child, but a child none the less. Nobody would be suspicious of Conan being in cahoots with Kid. Kaito could talk to Conan about subjects that were always skirted around when he talked to Ginzo, Conan had no legal obligations to turn him in. Conan was needed to help improve Kaito's poor mental health.

Normally it should be the eldest taking care of the youngest, yet those rules were tossed away when Conan became involved. Conan dragged Kaito out of his bed. Conan made sure Kaito ate, sometimes with the threat of death by soccer ball, Ginzo didn't understand that part. Conan forced Kaito to leave the house. Conan cuddled with Kaito at night to scare away the nightmares. Conan made sure Kaito took those god awful meds. Conan was doing so damn much for Kaito that Ginzo feared what would happen if Conan suddenly left.

*

A few months later Conan left. When Ginzo had heard the news about how Conan had left for America he'd panicked. He wasn't proud of the fact, but he couldn't help it. Conan had been an important crutch for Kaito, keeping the teen sane. So when he'd burst into Kaito's house to see the allegedly 'missing' teenage detective Kudo Shinichi he froze.

"Nakamori-Keibu" Shinichi greeted from the kitchen doorway, a cup of steaming black coffee held in one hand.

Ginzo's brain stuttered for a few moments before he managed to collect himself. "Kudo-Kun, it's a surprise to see you here" He breathed. Those eyes, he knew those eyes, he knew that face. They were the same as Conan. Conan left, only to be swiftly replaced by Shinichi. Absentmindedly he remembered that Edogawa Conan had originally appeared after Kudo Shinichi had went missing.

Sharp Azure met his gaze, Ginzo could almost see the gears turning within Shinichi's head. The other was calculating Ginzo's knowledge. "Kaito couldn't be left alone" Shinichi took a sip of his coffee "I'm going to be staying here for a while, please don't mention my presence to anybody" Ginzo couldn't help but nod at the request, he had so many damn questions but Shinichi gave off a similar vibe as Kaito. One that seemed like he'd bolt if questioned too much.

"I won't" Ginzo paused before continuing "I'll keep your secrets" Shinichi's gaze narrowed slightly before he nodded.

A small smile tugged at the teen's lips "Thank you" A dark gleam flickered in his gaze "Secrets can often mean the difference between life and death" Shinichi replied smoothly.

Ginzo felt a sudden chill, this teen was creepy, but his words had hit him hard. "Trust me I know" Ginzo swallowed, remembering how frail Kaito had been after being shot, how he'd almost lost his son "I'd never do anything to expose those kinds of secrets" He really wouldn't, especially if they involved Kaito's safety, and maybe even Shinichi's. Conan had done a lot for Kaito, and if his absurd suspicions were correct... Well he'd deal with that if it ever came up.

"Good, Kaito would break if anything happened to you" Shinichi replied, gaze softening as he glanced over towards the stairs. Kaito was probably in bed resting then. "He's doing a bit better now" Shinichi added as he grabbed that horrible pill bottle and looked at it. "We've finally found the right dosage that works properly for him so he's less chaotic" He smiled sadly as he put the bottle back "Too much or too little of these can cause more problems. That's why Conan was staying with Kaito"

Ginzo swallowed "Did he ever?..." The thought of Kaito of all people doing that was horrifying despite how it should have been somewhat expected considering circumstances.

Shinichi pursed his lips "Almost, but then he ran to Conan, well he was going to run to you, but he literally ran into Conan first" He snickered "Knocked Conan straight off his feet"

Ginzo smiled sadly "But the dosage is correct now?"

"Yes, he wasn't actively suicidal before the meds, but they messed him up a little until the correct dosage was found. Now they're helping him get better" Shinichi replied, gaze lowered towards the inside of his empty mug.

Ginzo's eyes burned as relief flooded through him. Kaito was actually healing now, that was good, perfect actually. Now he just needed to make sure the stupid kid survived until then.

Me: Less feeling in this chapter, but more plot building (?) IDK... Berry can be clueless when emotions are in play

When I have two cats and 1 rat on my bed, you'd think I'd have to worry about the rat right? Well nope, my cats will attack each other out of jealousy while my rat just cuddles against my foot~

Rats are like little packets of heat that have a heartbeat, especially furless ones since they need to burn more energy for warmth~
