Reader x Kaito KID: Don't Lose Your Temper -Part 4

“IT’S KAITO KID!” you heard Officer Nakamori shout from the floor above you. You laughed slightly at his frantic voice as he starts to shout order after order.

After hearing much running around and confused shouts, you decided to go up and at least make it look like you were trying to catch Kaito Kid.

As you headed up the staircase, you found smoke rolling eerily down the steps. Finally when you entered the large display room, you could barely see your own hand in front of your face. Many of the officers bumped into you as they ran around franticly, trying to find the thief in white. Although, someone ran into you from behind as you tried to find your way through the maze of smoke. Landing on the cold cement floor (which didn’t help the fact that you still didn’t feel so good from your fall earlier) you rolled over, pushing the man off of you, you had half a mind to yell at him for being an idiot, when you found it wasn’t a man dressed in the police officer. In fact, he even had a white top at on.

Kaito Kid rubbed his head as he sat up, and looked at you with a huge smile. “Sorry about that, <first name>,” he said, helping you back up. “I would love to spend more time talking to you, but I’m afraid that I must go before any of the other cops catch me.”

He smiled, and gave you a sudden hug, then ran off. You felt your eyebrow twitch as you chased after him, watching him jump out of a window.

You stuck the whole top of your body out the window, staring at the already small silhouette of the thief against the moon. Sighing, knowing that Nakamori was going to scold you for not being “good enough,” you turned around and stuck your hands in your pockets.

You paused in confusion as you felt the strange object in your pocket, looking at it curiously. When you saw what it was, you gasped. In your palm rested the temper jewel, wrapped inside a little piece of paper. You stood there for a few moments, stunned, until you slowly unwrapped the note from the jewel, slipping the note back into your pocket.

So this is what Kaito Kid meant when he said he wanted me to trust him… you thought. A large grin grew across your face as you waved the jewel around in the air, and you shouted to the rest of the squad, “Guys! I got the jewel!”

“What?!” you hear Nakamori shout in anger and confusion as he ran up to you, snatching the gem from your hand. “How did you get this?!”

You just smiled up at him, knowing that you had finally won.

Nakamori looked at the gem, then at you multiple times in a row, until he finally sighed in defeat. With a reluctant smile, he said the words that you had been wanting to hear for a long time. “Nice job, <last name>.”

As Nakamori stumbled away, gem in hand, you felt your heart start to dance. You couldn’t believe that this had happened. And it was all thanks to the phantom thief himself.

When things finally began to calm down, and everyone started to leave, you sat in your car, silently staring at the moon. Slipping the small piece of paper that still sat in your pocket, you slowly opened it.

Inside the note was written:

To you, who has finally come true. Know this is what you are to me:
“In the dark night flies a many-hued phantom.
It soars and spreads its wings
above the gloomy human crowd.
The whole world calls to it,
the whole world implores it.
At dawn the phantom vanishes
to be reborn in every heart.
And every night it is born anew
and every day it dies!”
I hope to see you again, but next time…
Just don’t lose your temper.
-Kaito Kid

Next to his name was his famous hand-drawn insignia. You read over the note multiple times, trying to figure out what the riddle was supposed to be. You smiled slightly as you looked back up at the moon, and mumbled the sweet words.

“To you, who has finally come true. Know this is what you are to me…” your smile grew slightly. “A dream.”
