Winterreise

Chapter I

Since Stradivarius violin case, Conan had met with Kaito Kid twice. Both heists involved Suzuki Jirokichi who tried his best to capture Kid to earn a place on the front pages of the Japanese newspapers.

Conan was alone with Kid during Blush Mermaid case but thankfully the thief didn't try to kiss him when disguised as Masumi Sera. Kid was more flirtatious than ever though. Conan knew that Kid was quite a charmer, seeming to always know just what to say to the ladies to leave them speechless. But to be the end recipient of those words was a new experience.

AL: She truly could kick.

Kaito Kid messaged him after the heist. Conan smirked when he read it. That kick from Sera got hurt a lot.

SH: Serves you right.

AL: Aren't you supposed to protect me?

SH: Since this is you we're talking about, I'm certain that you can protect yourself.

AL: Touche, dear.

The second meeting happened during Green Emperor's case when Kid tried to steal the jewel from Jirokichi Suzuki. Kid disguised himself as Sonoko this time.

SH: Kyougoku managed to uncover your disguise because your ring finger is longer than your index finger. Unlike Sonoko's.

AL: You do know what people say about the ratio of the length of a man's index finger to that of his ring finger, don't you dear?

SH: I'm going to throw away this phone.

A few weeks had passed since the heist. Today was the last day of school before winter holiday.

AL: How are you today, dear?

SH: I was better before you texted.

Conan pressed send and grinned at his phone.

"Sexting in the morning?" Haibara muttered.

"Haibara!" He hissed.

"I didn't know that you have it in you." The girl said, smirking.

Urgh! Conan regretted telling her about Kaito Kid because she now developed a habit to tease him whenever she wanted.

His phone chimed again.

AL: How cold.

SH: How are you then? Are you planning something dastardly?

AL: That's for me to know and for you to find out.

Winter holiday also meant holidaying at a ski resort. A very enthusiastic Sonoko Suzuki had decided to spend winter holiday skiing in the absence of Kyougoku Makoto. She had asked Ran which meant Kogoro and Conan would tag along. Hearing that, Detective Boys also wanted to join them so they got Haibara, Professor Agasa, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta.

Yuzawa Town was a popular all year resort but most famous for its excellent ski and snowboard resorts and onsen hot springs. The town was in an excellent location, making it the most convenient resort area from Central Tokyo. By car, the 200 kilometres journey using the Kanetsu Expressway took just over two hours.
