It shouldn't be like this.

Never.

Perhaps God played a terrible joke with them. God liked to see what would happen, right? Manipulating every steps of the way this world worked behind the vail. God never show his face but leaving his majestic signatures everywhere.

Not until he met the person right in front of him did he felt suffocate.

As same as Kid's cerulean eyes, mixed up with vibrant verve and curiosity that belonged to the teenager in youth.

As same as Kid's handsome charming face, his pronounced facial features were so delicate that even more gorgeous than other beauties. 

As same as Kid's lean and flawless figure, this teenager actually much slimmer than Kid. Did he really have certain decent meals on time? That was the question popped out from Kudo's mind at that moment.

This wasn't supposed to be happen.

" Allow me introduce you, Mr. Kudo, this person is the winner of the chess competition. Mr. Kuroba Kaito. Kuroba kun, this is Kudo Shinichi and Mr. Hattori and their friends." Miss Rosalee said.

The atmosphere sudden dropped to the absolute zero. ( 0 K ) They were merely just froze there, their nerve conduction completely shut down in a snap, like somebody just  cut off their conscious.  Kudo Shinichi was shocked, they were just too alike. The same height, the same facial features.  Hatorri glared at Kuroba while his mouth were wide open that almost could squeeze a lemon inside his mouth, scrappy words shivering inside his throat almost chucked him to death. 

" K.....ai.....to.....KKKKKK"

Ran was not the only person who barely got back her voice, neither did Suzuki, who stared at Kuroba with both thoughts and emotion fighting in her mind.

" Nakamori Aoko, and this is my friend, Kuroba Kaito. It is nice to meet you." Aoko was far ahead of the others. She stubbed Kuroba's shoulder unfriendly and tried to plucked the blue tooth ear pop out of Kuroba's ear canal. Contrast with others, Kuroba, who were still not into the situation, he took off the ear pop, as soon as he made eye contact with the rest of them, he blinked at a rapid speed.

" Are you the famous high school detective? I have seen you on the newspaper." Words came out of his mouth smoothly, Kuroba reacted so well by combining his excitement and curiosity altogether, shaping his external images of a normal teenage high school student, which barely had met Kudo before but still could recognize him through the news. " He then faced right and nodded to the girls like strangers.

Come on, you must be kidding me! As for him, God really fooled him around, first Hakuba, now this?! Was it really a notification that warned him not to do something illegal, or just it was about time to repay every crime he had committed?! What the hell is happening here?! Kuroba Kaito yelled deep in his mind, he could now already sense the keen eyes and sharp sights gathered right on his face and back without turning back to Suzuki and Hatorri. Those were fatal laser scalpels waiting for him to lie down and cut him into pieces.  

Look at the bright side, Kuroba Kiato, it can't be worse, can it? He tried to comfort himself. I mean, what could be even worse.

"Is there anything else?" Kuroba asked. It occurred to Rosalee that there still were some people Kuroba should meet before next competition. Rosalee looked back, a crew of people wearing suit was heading here.

" Let me introduce you our new bodyguards. Mr. Utato recruited these people in case some incident happen again. And plus it is high time that we raised our awareness, right? We don't want the same tragedy happen again. These bodyguards will protect you all during the competition, especially you, Kuroba, we couldn't risk anything to put you in danger, especially you are the winner this year. Are you sure you don't want to abstain?"

" That is against the rules, Ms. Rosalee. I appreciate your kindness, but I will complete the game since the day I have made my choice to come here." Kuroba Kaito didn't care about the bloody hell competition or some holy glory, the only thing came across his mind was going home, however, Nakamori Aoko shattered his dream. First, he could not fly back to Japan without Aoko while he quit the game as breaking the promise between he and inspector. He didn't hesitate even one second to agree with inspector Nakamori's request. Just a game, right? What bad will possibly happen? This was much safer than going out a mission as Kaito Kid, maybe a free ticket to America paying a visit to Mom and see how carefree his mother was. Not to mention Aoko, who adored Kudo Shinichi so much. Such was her admire that Kuroba Kaito lost every chance to come home earlier. And now, it seamed like he was forced to finish the game. 

" Are you calling for us? Ms. Rosalee?" A husky, familiar sound derived from one of the bodyguards, Kuroba Kaito could feel a part of his glandular hair straight up right away, no sooner that he looked at Makoto did he let out a rigid smile, that moment he barely felt anything from his risorius muscle. The least person he willing to meet except Kudo.

" Yes. Meet Mr. Kuroba, he is the winner of the first competition."
