Kaito Kid Oneshots [Kaishin]

Exactly What You Think (Part 1)

The familiar sound of the metal door of the roof slamming open sounded behind KID.

“Finally, Meitantei. I thought you wouldn't show up...” KID turned around with his KID-like grin.

“What took you so lo—” KID froze in midsentence.

There Snake was, with a gun in his hand.

“Snake.” KID smirked. “Aiming a gun at my head again, I see. How nice of you.”

“Being cocky again as always huh, KID?” Snake spat. “Fortunately for you, this gun has another head to aim at tonight.”

KID felt his heart skipped a beat. Another head...?
The door to the roof opened again for the third time this night.
And out came Kudo Shinichi... And...

“Gin.” KID knew who Gin was. Shinichi told him all about the other alcohol named members’ organization.

And now, the said Kudo Shinichi is held at a  chokehold in Gin’s grasp, with a bruise on his temple.

“You wouldn't want him to get hurt. Right, KID?” Snake trained his gun onto Shinichi’s temple. KID tensed up seeing how close the gun was to Shinichi’s head.

“...Let him go.” KID’s voice was rid of his usually playfulness.

“You know the deal. The jewel.” Snake fixed his eyes on the jewel in KID’s hand.

“It’s not Pandora.”

BANG.

Snake shot at Shinichi’s left leg. Shinichi screamed. KID fliched. Worry and fear flashed in KID’s eyes, but only for a second.
KID could feel his heart throb. Shinichi was shot, and it was all because of him.

“The jewel, KID. Don't make me repeat it another time.”
KID tossed the jewel at him. Snake caught it and held it up to the moonlight.

They waited. And waited.
Nothing.

“You got the jewel. Now let him go.” KID’s voice strained a little, but his poker face was intact.

“Since we're all here, why don't we have some fun?” Snake's gun is still trained on Shinichi.

“Snake,” Gin spoke up. “I'm not here to play.” Gin tightened his grip on Shinichi's neck.

“Fine. Take him and go. I'll stick around for a little bit.” Snake made a shooing gesture.

KID narrowed his eyes. So Gin was here specifically for Shinichi. KID's hand moved towards his smoke bombs.

“Ahah. Not so fast, ” Snake immediately aimed his gun at KID. “Don't you dare play your little tricks on me.”

Time is running out. Gin's already moving towards the door, leaving a trail of Shinichi’s blood on the concrete. KID couldn't let him take Shinichi.

“K-KID—” Shinichi managed to choke out a word. His voice was rough, rasped. Nothing like the voice he normally uses.

“Go—” Shinichi flicked his eyes towards the edge of the building, eyes motioning for KID to leave him and run away. To jump off the roof without him.

Shinichi’s eyes was filled with fear and determination. He knew once he goes through this door, he might as well be considered dead. But this didn't stop him from urging KID to leave him.

Leave me. Go. Don't risk your life for mine. It's not worth it.

That was the message KID deciphered from the look in Shinichi’s eyes.
Shinichi was telling him to go.

You can't save me.

No. No no no no no.
No.

KID couldn't, no, KID won't leave him. He won't just turn away and leave when Shinichi’s in trouble in front of his eyes.

“Shut up, brat.” Gin tightened his grip.
Shinichi gasped for air when the arm on his neck became tighter.

That was it. KID couldn't stay put watching his favorite detective suffer anymore.
KID decided to risk it, although he knew that it was a bad idea.

I won't leave you.

KID grabbed a smoke bomb and threw.

BANG!

A bullet was fired from Snake's gun. KID dodged, but he wasn't fast enough. The bullet dug straight into his right shoulder. Clenching his jaw and ignoring the pain in his shoulder, KID pulled out his card gun and dashed towards Shinichi and Gin.

“He's going for the detective!” Snake shouted to Gin.

KID hit Gin in the head with the butt of his card gun. The force was strong enough to make Gin lose his grip on Shinichi. KID swooped Shinichi up bridal style and dashed towards the side of the rooftop. He managed to open his hang glider before another shot rang off.

The bullet pierced a hole through KID's glider. And then the both of them were plummeting through the air.

“KID! Do something!” Shinichi yelled while KID fumbled desperately with his glider.

The wind wasn't in their favor tonight and the glider has a hole in it. KID had just managed to steer clear of the police cars surrounding the building before the glider couldn't hold them up anymore.

“We're going to crash!” That was KID's last words before he put all his force to turn them both around abruptly, so that KID was the one who was below Shinichi and Shinichi above him, to shield his detective from the impact.

And everything was pitched black after that.
