Kudou Brothers; Special

Shinichi sighed as he stood inside the room of the targeted gem. KID had sent out a note for his next heist. The detective never really went to any of the heists, but his brother seemed to plead to no end for him to come for that night.

He still didn't understand why he had to go. Conan and Kaito, or Kaitou, were the focus and spotlight of these nights. He would hear all about it when they get home, maybe after a conference between his two brothers to cut their tie breaker or something. 

Thinking about them, Shinichi looked around the room, but couldn't see any sign of KID or the KID Killer anywhere among them all.

"Ah, Shinichi!" came a call.

Said boy turned to see Ran and Sonoko walk over with a wave. "I expected you two to be here tonight," he greeted them with a nod.

"But the same can't be said to you," glared Sonoko at him, crossing her arms. "Don't you always just let that brat to do the heists? So why are you here?"

"Sonoko..." muttered Ran, but gave a questioning look at Shinichi. "But I am curious why."

"I had no wish to be here," shrugged Shinichi, but turned to eye the jewel on display at the very end of the room. "Kaito was the one insisting on me coming. I have no idea why, as he's already left me."

"Ah! My faithful KID fan!" grinned Sonoko, giving out a weird laugh, which made the other two sweat-drop. "Now where is he? We still got plans to gain KID-sama's attention!"

Shinichi gave her a blank glance. "I already said he just left me." Shaking his head, he stuffed his hands into his pockets. "So you got to search for that idiot yourself."

Sonoko clicked her tongue, glaring at him yet again. "Tsk, how rude."

The detective threw the same glare back. Ran gave out a nervous laugh, forcing the two to part their glaring before she looked around. "But where's Conan-kun?"

"No idea either," shrugged Shinichi. "Doing his KID Killer preparations, I believe."

"As expected," smiled Ran, looking around to see if she could find any sign of the young boy.

"Ah, Ran!" suddenly yelled Sonoko, grabbing the girl's wrist. "We need to head to the front! KID-sama will arrive soon!"

"A-ah, Sonoko!" called Ran, but was dragged off by her.

Shinichi shook his head and gave a small sigh aimed at the two. Sometimes he really wondered what he had done to have all these kinds of people around in his life.

Walking over to the jewel himself, he listened as all the KID fans loudly count down the last minute. Right on the last second, Nakamori gave out a loud roar and the all too familiar smoke appeared right over the displayed gem.

With the usual interactions between the police force and KID, and all the screams from all the KID fans, the heist went just like all the other ones. The police chased the phantom thief, fell into a bunch of different traps, and the white clad magician thief getting out.

Shinichi just watched as Nakamori roared out from the traps he was stuck in, all the fans excitedly screaming in equal volume. Shaking his head in disbelief at the police's much failed attempts again, he went to walk out of boredom. He would rather have stayed at home to read while peace and quiet was an option in their household.

"Shinichi!" called Ran, stopping him in his tracks to turn to his childhood friend. "You heading home already?"

"Yeah?" answered Shinichi, but tilted his head slightly in a questioning matter. "What about it?"
