Kudou Brothers; 3

Kaito happily walked in front of his two brothers as they were on their way to the park. Conan and Shinichi smiled as they dribbled and passed the football between them while walking. Their doves were either sitting somewhere on them or flying close by.

Akechi and Hiyori flew around the group, Haruna sat tightly on Shinichi's shoulder and Rinka on Kaito's head. All of them were silent and just enjoying themselves, giving no heed to all the looks they got from people around. If it was from how identical and familiar they looked, or from the doves hanging around them, they didn't care.

After entering the park, Kaito had made his way over to the fountain with a grin, while the other two went to the empty and open field to play football. The football brothers grinned at each other, challenging the other to a dribble showdown. The doves took this and flew onto the tree next to them, watching with tilted heads at the competing brothers.

The ball bounced in all kinds of ways and directions. Going up and down into the air before being sent over to the other to repeat the actions. The passing and movements became faster in speed, their movements more hasty to show off. With the ball flying back and forth with an incredible speed, they didn't take notice of how a small crowd had formed into an audience around them.

With a grin, Shinichi kicked the ball high into the air with his knee, then kicked it right towards Conan. The targeted boy just smirked, turning around and bending his knees down, he suddenly took a flip and kicked the ball right back. Quickly adjusting himself when landing, he faced his brother again, and watched him bend down slightly to head the ball right up and stop the ball with his foot when on the ground.

"Great job, Conan," grinned Shinichi to him proudly. "I see you finally mastered the kick."

"Of course!" said Conan back with his own grin. "I need to keep up with you, after all."

Sudden applause and cheers came from around them, making them jump with a spin. Multiple kids ran over, cheering and bombing them with questions and awes of their skills. The two gave out nervous laughs, but looked up when seeing Haruna circling over them.

"Co-chan~!" came a sing-song call from behind the crowd.

The boy turned to Shinichi, who gave a small grin and a nod. He dribbled the ball slightly, then kicked the ball over to Conan who caught it in a dribble.

Shinichi gestured to the people to step back, and everyone watched in awe as Conan skillfully dribbled the ball around him. The young boy soon gave out a grin, kicking the ball high into the sky, everyone looking up to watch it.

Yelps of shock came as the ball suddenly exploded into smoke, glitter and confetti raining down. Children cheered loudly, raising their hands in joy. Hiyori and Rinka took off from the tree and through the smoke, grabbing a long confetti strand while at it.

The crowd turned and watched as the doves flew over towards the fountain. When right over it, they dropped the strand, letting it fall right on the top. The strand suddenly moved on its own, flying around the water shooting out of the water surface, spiralling down around it. When at the edge of the fountain, it quickly swirled around into a cylinder before exploding into smoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" came an announcement, sounding like it came from every direction. "Let the show - begin!"

The smoke soon blew off in the wind and Kaito took its place with a wide grin, and the people awed and applauded. Kaito gave a tiny bow before throwing his arms out, letting plenty of roses and playing cards rain into the crowd. Everyone got a white rose with a quoted card tied to it. The kids and females cheered loudly, and more people gathered around.
