Sixteenth Case

[ this is probably about as predatory as you will ever see Kazuha look.

But when it involves certain teenage boy detectives who - for once - aren't her childhood friend, it's probably understandable.

Never mind the fact that she's soaked, sacrifices must be made. ]

Kudo Shinichi. I don't know how long you've been hiding out here, but I'm gonna find you.

[ LIGHTNING CRACKLE ]

And then we're going to have a nice, long talk.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Cute? What is this cute of which you speak, we're just trying to keep you dry. >_>;]

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Okay fine. >( Wandering.]

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

....and bed! >_>; /fail

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Damn straight you do. >(] ...s-say, Kazuha?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Hm?

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

W-why do you still live at the inn...? [Since you spend so much time around Crow anyway.]

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

"Still"...? Well, I've got roommates, and two of them are little kids... not to mention Kaito-kun and I get along just fine.

[See, Crona doesn't know these things. Makes a sort of interested :O face, and nods.]

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Where'd that come from?

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

A-ah, it... just seemed like a funny place to live, w-when you spend so much time around Crow. [Because what is understanding the concept of you guys being the cutest things ever not-dating. Or is it actually dating, now? We're behind.]

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ I am not choking on nothing, I swear ] T-t-that's--! Well, if there's someone you like spending time with, you do it a lot, right??

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Fffff SO SORRY, KAZUHA. Nodding.] W-well yeah. I just wondered, is all.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

We're-- [ god this is awkward ] We're close.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Isn't it though? Damn good thing Crona will never understand what it is to ...do what you do.] T-that's good.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ you must never know ] It doesn't bother you, does it?

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[YOUR SECRET IS SAFE WITH ME. Shaking our head.] N-no, of course not.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Because if it ever does, just let me know, okay?

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Headtilt.] W-why would it bother me that you like Crow...? [WHY YES, THAT PHRASING WAS USED PURPOSELY.]

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ very nearly tripping over her own feet ] I-it wouldn't, I mean, I hope it wouldn't, but--

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Boggling at you.] ...Are you okay, Kazuha...?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Fine! Absolutely fine!

[Watching you like a creeper.]
