The Black Fox (Shinichi X Reader)

Retrieval

Where are you? The single thought filled the minds of both boys. They had both compiled all the available evidence, and were now waiting on Mcguire to fill in what was left. After hours of waiting, Mcguire finally called. We're coming for you, just hold on!

----------------------------------------

You were officially at the point where you could no longer even cry. The pain was so extreme, you had forgotten what it was like to be without it. You couldn't move, you couldn't scream, you couldn't even think.

"I think it's almost that time now." Came the cruel hiss. "I've started growing bored with our little game." He slowly approached you, grabbing his old knife to end things.

He placed the cold knife against your throat, and you closed your eyes. He was about to drag the jagged blade across your throat, when suddenly the old door was thrown open. "Who the hell are you?" The Blood Rose Butcher growled.

You slowly opened your eyes, and looked at the person who had entered the room. A single tear managed to fall down your cheek, as you looked over at the boy who had just entered. "I'm here for my friend. If you know what is good for you, you'll surrender."

The Butcher held up his knife, and poised it over your heart. "Take another step and I'll gut the bitch!" The Blood Rose Butcher screeched.

"I don't think so." Someone behind the Butcher growled.

The Butcher spun around, but before he could fully turn, the knife spun out of his hand, lodging into the ground several feet away next to an ace of spades. "Now what?!" The Butcher hissed.

You slowly turned to face the new voice. A soft whimper like sound escaped your lips as your eyes fell upon the second boy. "Step away from the little lady, or the next one goes between your eyes." The second boy ordered as he pointed his modified gun at the deranged serial killer.

The Blood Rose Butcher backed away from you slowly, his eyes seething with rage. The first boy ran up to you, and checked your pulse. "Her pulse is weak." He told the second boy.

"Grr, you bastard. If it weren't for her being here, I'd make you regret the day you were born." The second boy growled. "Kudo, call Mcguire."

"Are you sure? The police are after you too Kid."

"I'm a phantom, you don't have to worry about me. She needs an ambulance." Kid said, nodding his head towards you.

"Hand me your gun, I'll keep him in place while you pick the locks on those chains." Shinichi said as he switched places with Kid.

Kid gently lifted your arm, and undid the first latch. He released your hand which fell limp to your side, before moving to the rest of the shackles. "Damn scum." Kid hisses under his breath. He glanced over to you and smiled sadly. "Don't worry, we'll get you out of here. Just hold on for a little longer." Kid whispered as he undid the last shackle.

"I should have gotten rid of that bitch hours ago, but I was having far too much fun."

Kid walked towards the Blood Rose Butcher, and punched him in the face. Shinichi sighed and placed the gun on the table while Kid proceeded to beat up the murderer.

Shinichi pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket, and gently wiped the blood off your face. His eyes widened when he saw your face. "Y-you?!" Shinichi stuttered. "You're the shy girl from school!" Shinichi closed his eyes and shook his head. "To think you completely fooled me all this time. I never even thought you could be the one under the mask." Shinichi chuckled. You wanted to reply with words or expressions, but your mind slowly slipped into darkness.

----------------------------------------

Shinichi brow furrowed when she passed out. He turned to the psycho who had hurt her, and felt his blood begin to boil. Within minutes police sirens could be heard coming from the distance. Kid growled in frustration before he took his leave.

Before he leapt out the window, Kid looked at Shinichi. "Make sure she stays safe." He stated before going out the window he entered through.

When the police and ambulance arrived, they carefully moved the bloody and half dead girl to a stretcher before they put her in the ambulance and rushed towards the hospital. The police slapped cuffs on the Blood Rose Butcher, before reading him his rights, and forcing him into a police car.

Shinichi sat down heavily on the ground, and put his face in his hands. "You alright there Kudo?" Mcguire asked as he crouched in front of Shinichi.

"Yeah, I'm just glad we caught him."

"You should head to the hospital, leave this mess to us. Officer Wilder will drive you." Mcguire stated.

Shinichi nodded and did what Mcguire had instructed. He rode in silence, before arriving at the hospital. Shinichi ran to the front desk, and asked the nurse. "Ah yes, it seems that she was rushed straight into surgery. Unfortunately, it could take a while. Why don't you wait over in the waiting room? Someone will come to tell you when they get done with surgery." The nurse said.

Fourteen Hours. That's how long it took for someone to come. When the doctor came out Shinichi was both worried and expectant. Don't jump to conclusions. Shinichi chastised himself. "Are you Mr.Kudo?"

"Y-yes that's me. Is she alright?"

"Your friend is alright. She's not out of the woods quite yet, but the surgery was successful. She had several broken bones, large amounts of internal bleeding, burns, and gashes. She also had liquid in her lungs. I can't imagine what that poor girl went through."

"So..." Shinichi prompted.

"The worst has passed. We'll need you to fill out some paperwork for her, nobody could find an I.D. on her."

"Yeah." Shinichi nodded in understanding. "Can I see her?"

"It should be alright as long as you aren't sick. Just make sure not to touch her much if at all. She has extensive burns, so you will have to wear the hat and gown provided."

Shinichi nodded before heading towards her room. He washed his hands, and put on the provided garments before stepping inside. The girl in the bed was covered from head to toe in bandages.

Shinichi sat in the chair next to the bed before turning to the forms in his lap. He was about to begin filling out the paperwork when he froze. He didn't know anything about her, and even what he thought he knew might not be true. She had been hiding from that deranged psychopath for years. There was no telling what she had made up to protect her secret.

He looked at the girl, and sighed. "Just wake up. You have a lot of explaining to do. You've worried your friends for long enough." He whispered to the unconscious girl.

That's all I have time for today! Sorry it isn't very long, but I hope you like it!
