Someone, please save me.... (Shinkai)

Chapter 8

"I try not to put that poker face, but you and I know that this will happen again."

Saguru gave a nod and ruffling his hair. Not that he minding it, but it was slightly embarrassing to him. At least his mind was now on something else than before.

"Let's get home, and pack your stuff."


Kaito felt a bit lighter yet there was some bitterness in it and he felt again like drowning in pain. It wasn't helping right now that his mind was constantly reminding him about his mother's suicide. Right now they were at his home and packing the stuff he needed. He would come back when he needed the stuff for heists, but that won't happen until next week or maybe longer. 

"...aito?"

He wasn't sure what to think about it. Kaito had to continue with this and he needed to find that gem, but was it worth it? That gem probably never existed, but he knew he couldn't stop. He still needed to stop them at all costs.

"...aito?"

Maybe his mother was murdered? It could be, but there was no evidence. Or maybe he had missed it? He could not really remember that day, other than her pale body laying on the ground. Her wrist was almost cold, and maybe when he would have gone home earlier he could have stopped her....

"Jesus Kaito!"

That was making him out of his state of depressed thoughts. By now he was met with a concerned Ha-Saguru who had both of his hands on his shoulder. 

"Um, y-yes?"

The other looked concerned now and pulling him into a hug. Kaito hugged back and noticed the tears who were rolling down his cheeks.

"What was on your mind?"

He was not sure that he should tell the other, as he knew how worried the other was right now. Him telling the other that he was thinking about his mother didn't bode well with him. That was why he stayed silent and the British detective hadn't pried anymore. He was glad for that as he didn't want to talk about it. After a few more minutes, he was calm. The hug left and they continued packing, and the silence felt comfortable. 

"Do you have everything? We can still come back here when you forgot something."

He glanced one more time to his room and giving a small nod. It wasn't that he would never live there again, or maybe he would never live in this house again. Too many bad memories and he knew that it wouldn't bode well with his mentality. It would just make him remember the suicide and the childhood which was lonely. 

"Would you be alright with me bringing my doves with me?" 

That was making the other smile softly. His doves where the only thing that helped a bit, but it was never enough.

"Of course, just try to not to let them near Watson."

Kaito knew about the hawk and one of his doves did once get harmed. He gave a nod some doves came flying over Kaito. He had 6 and all of them were trying their best to make him feel better, but it usually didn't work. Jii-chan got worried about him, but he brushed it off. It was a reminder once again that he should have talked to others. 

"I have to talk to Jii-chan. So could we go to him first? I really need a talk with him."

That seemed to make the other interested. Giving him an eye roll as he knew how Ha-Saguru worked. Of course the other would get interested.

"Then we better get going."

With this they walked downstair, walking out of the house he called his home and he locked the door. He felt weirdly lighter now. The relieve was big, that big that he felt himself have a small smile. It would take ages for him to feel better, but he was sure that it would be alright. 

"Lead the way."

With this, they began to walk. Kaito glanced one last time back to the house and then looking ahead. It would do him good to get somewhere new. A new start. It took them 15 minutes to get to a building. On it was a shield that has a name written: Blue Parrot. The doves went somewhere, and Kaito was glad that they disappeared as soon as they began to walk. But he knew that they were near him. As he entered, there was a jingle sound, and he followed right behind Kaito.

"I am sorr-Oh Kaito-bochama!"

The other instantly rushed over to him. A surprised yet worried expression was seen on the older man. And Kaito knew that he messed up badly when he saw the worried expression. The other person knew he had hidden his feelings well.

"Jii-chan we need a talk."

The other gave a nod and had a serious expression, and glancing at Saguru.

"Don't worry, um he is an f-friend."

Saguru had a small polite smile, as both walked inside and they sat at the bar. 

"This is Saguru Hakuba, but you know him. I..."

The other glanced at the other, and he could feel the worried eyes who bored into him from Saguru.

"I am assuming that he is the person who helps you sometimes with your heists?"

The other had a surprised expression by now and Kaito let out a sigh.

"Yeah this is Konosuke Jii, helped my Dad when he was Kaito Kid. And yes he knows, but don't worry he isn't going to arrest you. That is one of the reasons why I wanted to talk to you."

Kaito felt uncomfortable and looking anywhere else. 

"Yeah, I was worried and not just me Kudo knows as well. We aren't going to arrest him, and he will need people by his side. Friends who accept him, which Aoko and Nakamori keibu for sure wouldn't. Both hate Kaito Kid and that part belongs to him."

He felt himself look now back at Jii, who looked relieved, but he looked sharply at him.

"There is something you didn't tell me, isn't it so Bochama?"

That was making him flinch as he let out a sigh. He wasn't comfortable talking about it, but Jii was like a grampa by now and he didn't want to hide it from him anymore.

"Yeah, I began to cut myself after the death of my mother. I just couldn't handle it anymore. That is why I am moving with Saguru. I just need a break from the Nakamori's and he had offered it to me. Jii-chan he listened to me and didn't push me away, nor did he make fun of my phobia. The same goes for Tantei-kun..."

His lips at the end in a thin line and Jii-chan finally saw how he really was feeling. He felt footsteps approaching and soon felt himself in a hug. It was not something usual, but he accepted it. 

"Oh, Bochama..."

There was silence in the room, and he was wondering what he should do now? Kaito still had to make these heists and having to see Nakamori. It wouldn't be something that he wanted, but he had to do it.
