1004 Words~ Excluding (A/N) I don't own Magic Kaito~

"I actually feel a lot better today" Kaito supplied happily, taking a seat in one of the chairs adjacent to Saguru.

Saguru lifted a bowl on the table to reveal a plate full of chocolate chip pancakes. "That is quite the relief, though, I have a thought..." Kaito tilted his head as a signal to continue. "Birds don't do well health wise when stressed" He relayed as he watched Kaito drizzle chocolate syrup on his pancakes.

'My assumption of him having a sweet tooth is right it seems...'

Kaito paused mid bite, eyes narrowing before shrugging. "That's actually something to look into, I remember reading about stress killing birds when I took over caring for my doves" The brunette replied with a grimace before continuing to eat.

'Hopefully stress will at the very most make him ill and not cause him to seemingly randomly drop dead'

"And your situation is one that would have caused you a lot of stress" Saguru added, as he finished up his breakfast. Kaito was surprisingly already done as well.

"I'm usually good with stress" The magician grinned as he magicked the dirty dishes into the sink, somehow making the tap run to rinse them. Saguru raised a brow at the unexpected magic before turning back towards Kaito.

"True, I'd imagine your nightly activities are both a source and relief for stress" The blond stated with a smirk which Kaito returned with one of his own.

"I want to ask about your reasons for being Kaitou Kid, however I will wait until you're ready to tell me" The blond paused, taking in how Kaito had at first tensed then relaxed as he continued speaking. "Though I would at least like to ask if your condition is by any chance related to your illegal activities" He finished.

'He seemed fine during the Shining Star heist'

"The Shining Star was apparently a magical gem, it's lore said that it could take the worthy to the heavens" Kaito motioned towards his wings with a lazy swipe. "Apparently that means wings"

"Normally I would say that you're trying to make a fool of me Kuroba... However the fact that you have wings so soon after the heist is leading me to believe you" Saguru replied with a grimace, he didn't like the fact that magic is real.

'Was that one time when Koizumi-san turned Someone into a snail not actually a dream?'

He couldn't help but frown as he remembered doing nothing but watch her toss the snail into a pond before walking away.

"Yeah, I didn't even believe in magic at first" The magician replied softly.

"What made you believe in magic then? By your words, it means that you believed in it before you grew wings" The blond mused, it wasn't surprising that the magician was stating that his 'magic' wasn't actual magic.

"Akako..." Kaito grimaced at her name. "She used a voodoo doll on me, and then tried to burn me alive since I wouldn't accept her magical love slave chocolate" A shiver ran through the winged teen's frame at the memory.

"Koizumi-san knows magic?" Saguru asked, dreading the answer. At the brunette's grim nod, he let out a sigh. "I think I witnessed her commit murder, I just walked away thinking that I was hallucinating"

Kaito gave him a sympathetic smile. "It's not your fault, nobody would have believed you. That or you would have met the same fate" The blond blinked, surprised at the sympathy.

"I now understand why you always seemed to avoid Koizumi-san and call her a witch" Saguru felt uneasy at missing that clue, Kaito wasn't one to verbally attack others without provocation which Akako apparently gave plenty of.

"Yes, she's obsessed with me. One day she's trying to make me her slave, then the other she's trying to kill me, and sometimes she tries to save me" The magician sighed, leaning back in the chair carefully.

"That is unfortunate" The blond replied, unsure as to how to react.

"No, what's unfortunate is that if we can't fix me with science, I'll need to ask for her help" Indigos darkened. "Akako almost always asks for a price"

'So she could refuse to help unless Kuroba gives himself to her... That is a scary thought'

"I will do my best to prevent that, the both of us are highly intelligent and skilled in both medicine and chemistry" The blonde offered, truly concerned about what Akako would do to Kaito.

"Thank you Hakuba" The brunette paused in thought for a few seconds before continuing. "Is there any... Tests that we can do here?" The magician's voice was low as he stared into the table.

'Kuroba really doesn't want tests'

"I believe that I have the equipment necessary in my lab, it also doubles as a medical room since science can sometimes be dangerous" Saguru stood up from his chair, motioning the magician to follow him. "We should start with an X-ray then an ultrasound, and maybe a single blood sample if you feel up to it. We can do the ultrasound while the X-ray film is developing" The blond replied, noting how Kaito shivered at the mention of blood samples.

"I thought you couldn't leave the dark room until the X-ray was complete" The blond smirked at Kaito's knowledge.

"Normally yes, but I'll put on my night vision goggles and leave you in the dark for a few minutes as I set it in the processor" Kaito nodded at the words, he was fine with being in the dark and knew Saguru wouldn't have suggested it if he wasn't.

"That makes sense, I always get bored while waiting for the film to be ready" The magician admitted.

"It is a good thing that you were unable to leave the dark room, I fear for whoever would have come across you while truly bored" The blond drawled as he led the brunette down a staircase Kaito had never bothered to go down before.
