Saguru felt all kinds of sick as he cautiously made his way towards where he'd instructed Yozora to go before heading out on a plane. To be honest, Saguru would much rather be searching for both Kaito and Shinichi with the other agents instead of checking up on the girl. The problem was that he seriously doubted that someone with Yozora's history would handle a complete stranger well. At least with himself, he had the known connection to Kaito to at least ease some of the other's concerns. That didn't make it any less hard for him to go there though.

The blond rapped his knuckles against the hidden entrance, shifting back a fair amount so as to not crowd the one inside when the door opened. When the path opened, Saguru was met with a young child cautiously poking her head out. Her expression was a mixture of fear and anxiety which was reflected in her slate coloured eyes "I'm Hakuba Saguru" Saguru greeted gently, slowly holding out a photo that contained both himself and Kaito. It was a random one that Aoko had taken when they hadn't been paying attention.

Yozora eyed the photo with open curiosity. Kaito was easily identifiable and the blond in front of her matched the one that Kaito was sitting in the lap of in the photo. Both males looked a bit younger in it, and the happy smiles on their faces told her that they were indeed close "I-" The girl stuttered a bit, a little unsure on what should happen next "Come in?" She moved back to the opposite side of the safe house to allow the other inside. She still felt a bit nervous even though all the facts said that she should trust this person.

Saguru offered a soft smile as he slowly made his way inside, the girl was obviously scared of him "Kaito and Shinichi have yet to be found, but it's apparently a mess so it's not too surprising" Talking about the both of them felt like a safe topic, even if the news wasn't the best. Yozora seemed like a strong willed person.

The girl observed the blond, noting that the other had faint circles under his eyes and how his good mood seemed to be forced. She'd learned how to read people a long time ago, punishments had come with less frequency because of it. Though surprisingly enough, the fact that the other was upset was actually a bit comforting since being upset was normal in this situation "What do you mean by mess?" Surely messy rooms couldn't be that hard to search, even if there were a lot of them.

"The building was blown up..." Many bodies had already been found, thankfully none of them were known to him. It was very difficult to keep himself sounding calm as he continued "Normally by now we'd be expecting to retrieve their bodies, but they have special circumstances connected to them"

"Kaito's healing" Yozora stated, the magician's healing probably upped their survival rates drastically. It was a bit comforting.

Saguru blinked, a little surprised that she knew about that "Correct, and even without that, the two of them can perform feats together that I could only hope to achieve"

Yozora tilted her head, was the other trying to act strong in order to comfort her? Apparently that was a common thing adult liked to do, especially if they were with the police like Kaito had told her Saguru was "It's okay to be upset, I've seen people have complete meltdowns before" She sniffed "They'll be okay" They had to be, they'd promised to take her to Japan, the place her mother had escaped to for a few years.

The blond offered a sad smile "You're surprisingly smart" It made him curious about how long she'd been with them if she knew about Kaito's healing.

"The internet is great" Yozora admitted with a small smile before frowning "Though Kaito helped more when it came to emotions"

"That sounds like him" Saguru agreed "Unless those emotions are connected to himself"

The two talked for a good while, both slowly getting to know the other. Yozora's story almost physically hurt Saguru to think about, the girl was so young. The only time she'd actually been conscious outside had been when she'd been too busy on the phone with him to actually take anything in. The circumstances connected to her being rescued by both Kaito and Shinichi had also been very disheartening and had helped him to understand why they'd improvised in such a daring way.

Saguru was no idiot, he could easily see Kaito becoming very attached to Yozora even if he didn't mean to "Did you know that Kaito and I have been trying for a child for years now?"

Yozora offered a small nod "Kaito mentioned something about wanting kids when he explained his egg situation"

"Well..." Saguru paused, not really knowing how to proceed "Knowing Kaito, he'll probably be upset when you have to leave for a family in Japan"

The girl grimaced, suddenly feeling sad. She didn't want to leave them "I'll be sad too"

"If you're comfortable with the idea, I wouldn't mind if you're our first child. We were planning on having a few anyways by either blood or adoption" Saguru had no doubt in mind that Kaito would be thrilled to take in Yozora "I just know that Kaito is fond of you" He offered a small smile "And I may not know you all that well, but you're a smart and brave kid" Gold softened "You might be able to actually handle the weirdness that is our life" He paused "You don't have to if you don't want to though"

Yozora was awestruck at the offer, Saguru was kind, just like Kaito had said he was. Talking with the blond had made her feel a lot more comfortable around him "I might like that" She admitted, feeling a bit overwhelmed. Weren't adults supposed to make the choices for children like the internet often stated?

Saguru nodded in understanding "Don't tell Kaito about the offer even if you accept" Gold glinted mischievously in a way she'd seen in Kaito "Seeing him pout in silence will be adorable"

Yozora let out a small giggle, she could see why he was with Kaito.

Me: Saguru knows Kaito... And surely you saw this coming right? Oh and distractions are nice to keep away the bad thoughts~

Am I evil for not stating Kaito and Shinichi's conditions? ^-^

Hope you enjoyed~

Floor icecream is just as good as I've heard it was
