Part 4

-                                            Kaito Kuroba's POV                                                           -

-                                                                                                                                                  -

While I was on my way home, I made up my mind to apologize to Aoko. I want to talk to her about what happened to us earlier. Now that I've been thinking about it, it's clearly my fault why she acted that way. My stupid prank on her underwear... running away... and then joking about it during lunch break... 'Ughh, I'm such a jerk...' I let out a frustrated sigh.

-                                                                                                                                                  -

I continued my walk until I reached home. Before going inside, I stopped for a moment and glanced over at Nakamori's residence. After taking a deep breath, I felt determined and made a promise to myself: 'I will apologize to her, no matter what!' I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I owed it to Aoko to make things right. With that promise in mind, I turned towards our house and headed inside.

-                                                                                                                                                  -

The house was... quiet... as it always was... I was alone in silence... and that's why... I didn't want the two of us to be... distant... I sighed again as I slowly made my way straight to my room. I placed my bag on my desk and took a seat on the edge of my bed, trying to plan out what I wanted to say for my apology. 

-                                                                                                                                                  -

The events of the day kept on replaying over and over in my head, each one reminding me why I needed to make a proper apology. The words seemed to swirl around in my mind like a jumbled mess, making it hard for me to find the right words to say, but I knew I had to make things right this time. I couldn't let my pride win and stand in the way of this.

-                                                                                                                                                  -

It took a while to gather my thoughts and prepare myself, but I think that I'm ready now. I stepped into my balcony and tried to see if she was in her room. 

-                                                                                                                                                  -

'Her light's out... Is she... sleeping?' I wondered. 'Well, I guess I will just have to wait for her to wake up...' I sighed in relief. Just as I turned my back to leave, I faintly heard a suspicious sound of breaking glass downstairs inside their house. 

-                                                                                                                                                  -

I felt my mind freeze on the spot while my body instinctively moved and went further towards their house. Without any more second thoughts, I decided to use her room's balcony as my entrance and climb it just to check if everything was okay. Climbing was really no issue for me, after all... I'm the Phantom Thief, Kaito Kid.
