life through his eyes (kaishin)

trouble of every kind

Shinichi's POV:

I sat on my couch and threw my head back, I was scared, a feeling I've never felt before, the first relationship I get that makes me feel alive, gets ruined by a thief I've been trying to catch for a long time, I don't know why he's doing this now, I mean he has hinted at stuff in the past but I thought that was just to get on my nerves.

now he's acting up, he's taking the initiative, the asshole even had the balls to kiss me, but at the same time I've never stopped him, something about his touch feels familiar, and that something takes over my body, it buries my doubts deep down and doesn't let them escape, he has a certain control over me that I despise.

Kuroba-San doesn't know any of this stuff is happening, and lying to a person you like a lot is difficult, but if I told him the truth he wouldn't talk to me ever again, ah damn you, you stupid arrogant piece of...

my rant to myself was interrupted by my phone ringing loudly, I sighed and picked it up without looking, a deep voice spoke: Kudo-San?, I hummed and a bad feeling radiated through my body, this person sounded weird, their voice sounded unnatural, they're using a voice changer, the person said: didn't expect you to answer so easily?, I said annoyed: can I help you somehow?, the voice chuckled then said: straight to business huh?, well my dear detective, I am a serial killer, I couldn't let my laughter in as I scoffed and said: yeah sure and I'm a middle aged woman.

the person on the other side didn't seem as entertained as me though, their voice got louder and angrier as they said: this isn't a joke, this is me testing your abilities, I'm giving you a chance to prove to me that you're the genius everyone constantly rants about, I breathed in deeply then said: I do not need to prove my abilities to you but I think you have some proving  to do if you called a detective to confess a murder you're planning to commit.

the voice said sounding more confident: murders my dear detective, unless you catch me, people are gonna keep dying, I said: watch me catch you, you sick fuck, I'll make you spend every second left of your miserable life rotting in a jail cell.

the voice sighed then said: you are threatening a serial killer that isn't afraid of blowing up an entire building for fun, bad move detective, you couldn't possibly be hinting for me to go to the Mouri residence, or maybe that beautiful little house on the 4th street, I have my car ready to head out anywhere you'd like me to.

my anger grew as I stood up clenching my fists, I said: I swear to god, my breath caught in my throat realizing that if I spoke any further I'd push him even more over the edge, I gulped then said: we'll play your game of cat and mouse, just as long as the mouse isn't breaking the rules of the chase.

the voice scoffed then said: and what are your rules detective?, I said: you don't touch or come near anyone I love ever again or I will hand this over to the police and you'll never speak to me ever again. 

the person was quiet for a while, they spoke soon enough though: it's a deal, as long as you're on the case I'm a happy man, I said with an ironic tone: so you're a man then, interesting, the person instantly hung up upon learning of his slip up, I threw my phone to the couch as I breathed abruptly pacing around the room. 

the first thought to come to mind was to check up on everyone, I called Kaito, after a few rings, he picked up, my heart almost burst from happiness, I instantly asked: where are you?, are you okay?, are you at home?, he chuckled lightly then said: calm down a bit, I am at home and I am perfectly fine, I sighed then said: are your doors and windows locked?, he said: yeah my mom always locks everything before she leaves, he paused for a while then said: why are you asking me this?, is something wrong?, I shook my head even though he couldn't see me, I can't tell him the truth, it's for his safety.

I said: call it a bad hunch, I was probably just overthinking things, I'm coming over though, he let out a small laugh then said: the great detective making a mistake, what a coincidence, glad this got you to come over though, I smiled hearing him joke like this gave me a sense of safety, the sense I had lost a while ago, I said before hanging up: I'll be there soon, see you, we both hung up and I started getting ready. 

I hurried out of the house, I was excited to see him, but that excitement didn't stop the feeling of discomfort that was in my guts, I walked with fast steps and constantly looking over my shoulder, yet the dark figure I expected to be tracing my shadow was never there, maybe I was being paranoid, maybe that person was a prankster trying to get on my nerves, or someone that was driven by hatred in that minute and is currently taking back his decision.

those all might be possibilities, those all might be my hopes, but what I know for sure is that I shouldn't wait for something to happen, I should tell the cops maybe they can track him down or something, I dialed the inspector's number and when he answered I explained everything giving him all of the minimal details I had, he promised to seriously look into it and I ended the call feeling a little bit of relief.

but as I hung up I realized I hadn't called Ran to check on her yet, so I dialed her number and once again after a few rings she answered quite cheerfully, I pretended to be just casually checking up on her, she didn't seem weirded out or anything of that sort, she just confirmed she was fine and asked about me, I said that I was all good and hung up quickly, I got to Kaito's house and it would be an understatement if I said I wasn't happy to see him, I almost tackled him the second he opened the door, which he didn't miss the chance to make snarky comments about, but I didn't care, even the stupid perverted comments were fine just as long as I heard his voice, his beautiful soft comforting voice.
