When Saguru woke up he felt energized, like a faint hum of energy was buzzing beneath his skin. The sensation was mainly located on his hands. Out of curiosity he removed the bandages to see that his hands were completely healed.

'I guess Kaito's magic has been restored'

The blond covered a yawn with a hand before slipping out of his bed and changing into dark brown slacks and a tan button up shirt.

When he reached the living room, he was pleased to see Kaito working on a gem that looked very similar to the Shining Star. Kaito had his sight back.

"I take it the end product will be identical to the original?" Saguru inquired, crouching down next to the brunette to get a better look. The white diamond seemed to be real, but since it was supposed to be a really good replica he wasn't sure. "Is the actual gem real?" Saguru asked, knowing that Kaito's family wasn't rich enough to just toss away money for a diamond.

Indigos blinked before Kaito put down the mini diamond cutting blade, giving Saguru a smirk. "Of course it's real!" When the blond opened his mouth Kaito swiftly countered the expected accusation "And no, the gem wasn't stolen. It was a completely legal gift from Kudo's parents"

"Why would they give you a diamond?" The blond was curious, the gem was by no means cheap.

'I know that the Kudo family is rich... But it still doesn't make sense'

Kaito shrugged his shoulders, a mischievous grin present. "Yukiko-Neesan said that her collection was getting too big so she wanted to get rid of her out of date jewelry to make room for new additions"

"Yukiko-Neesan? Isn't Kudo-Kun's mother too old to be called that?" Kaito shook his head T his friend's naive words.

"Yukiko-Neesan is scary when called old, I'd advise you to not make that mistake again" Kaito snickered while he internally grimaced at the memory of the cold glare he'd received from Shinichi's mother.

"Dear what's wrong?" Yusaku asked as he glanced up from his newspaper. His wife had a scathing glare as she looked into the table.

"Oh nothing, I just had the sudden urge to smack someone for some reason..." Yukiko replied, giving Yusaku a sweet smile.

'I've finally gotten rid of Hattori, but Kuroba isn't even around'

Shinichi had checked the magician's house, only to find that it hadn't been occupied for at least a few days. The lack of evidence pointing towards a struggle set him at ease. It would be near impossible for the magician to be captured without a struggle within his own house. With a sigh he headed towards Saguru's house, figuring that Kaito was most likely staying with the British detective if he wasn't staying in his own home.

'I'm really curious to see if they're actually getting along well'

"Ah Kudo is at the door" At Saguru's raised brow Kaito flashed a grin. "Dove cams, my false eye does more than just look pretty, it sometimes sends visual input signals to my brain" Kaito replied, not bothering to mention that it was sometimes disorienting to have split vision sprung upon him. Whenever he's expecting input he usually closed his real eye.

'I could always make it so that I can see perfectly with my eye... but then it'd always be working and eventually overheat and burn me...'

There was only so much Kaito could add to the eye and still keep it looking completely real by having it react to stimuli.

"I will go let Kudo-Kun in" The blond stated as he got up from his chair, Kaito flashed a smile as he sprawled out onto the couch, splaying his wings to their full wingspan. He'd been expecting Shinichi to visit sooner or later, the sleuth wasn't one to let his questions go unanswered for long.

"Oh wow..." Shinichi breathed in awe as his azure gaze looked over Kaito's sleek wings. Sure Shinichi had already seen Kaito's wings, but seeing them when his vision wasn't obscured by smoke was another thing. Kaito inwardly preened at his biggest rival's awed expression, call him a narcissist or whatever but he adored making his detectives dumbstruck. He knew he looked damn good with his luxurious feather coated wings and wasn't afraid to admit it to himself.

"Yes you can touch them Meitantei" Kaito snickered "But only the tips of the feathers" He added swiftly, not wanting to reveal his new weakness. He trusted him, but his pride wouldn't allow the admission.

Shinichi blushed in embarrassment at how easily Kaito had read him. He couldn't help it, he'd grown a soft spot for animals from his time spent with the detective boys and he really wanted to feel how soft the wings were. "I'm sorry..." The sleuth apologized as he gently ran his fingers along the tips of Kaito's wings before pulling back. They were just as soft as he'd imagined they'd be.

'His time as Conan has really done him some good. The original Kudo Shinichi would have been too proud to accept the offer'

"It's fine, I know that if were the other way around I'd be hard pressed to touch you wings" Kaito smirked as he sat up, tucking his wings neatly behind his back. "Plus Saguru already had his fill of touching me"

"Kaito!" Saguru spluttered "Don't say things in a way that could lead to misunderstandings!" He turned towards Shinichi "I'm terribly sorry for his behaviour"

'He's so shy! It's almost adorable! If only I had a camera for blackmail...'

Shinichi waved his hand "It's fine, I'm used to Kuroba's insufferable ways" Azure eyes took in the magician's full appearance now that the wings weren't distracting him "I'm glad that you look much better, and thank you for saving me" He replied honestly, he wouldn't know what to do if the magician suddenly disappeared from his life.

Kaito shrugged "I don't really remember anything from our capture" Azure eyes narrowed with concern.

"You were really out of it..." Shinichi pursed his lips as he remembered how off the magician had been "But you're fine now right?"

Me: would you be tempted to pet someone's wings if you knew them? I would but I wouldn't actually do it since I'm too socially awkward... I'd just keep glancing at them and wishing to pet them XD
