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.

... But what're planning on doing now that you said it?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Mm? I'll just keep doing what I've been doing. I'm already past the point where I could try to stop getting closer, and... well, I just wanted you to know.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... *shakes his head, holding his tongue, and finally going to put his hand on her chest-- please wait for it before you smack him*

Stupid. Even if any of that does happen, I'm still going to be with you. Right in here. No matter what happens, and that ain't ever gonna change. And if it does, no matter where you are, if I haven't already, I'm hunting you down to get back in there.

[ little choking noise of WHAT ARE YOU DOING, but she's quieting down once he starts talking ]

... [ and sighing ] Aren't you the stupid one here? Once you're in there, you're not leaving.

Damn right I'm not.

*and now a little more seriously* I'm hunting you down either way though.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... And that's why I won't say goodbye.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ ... trying so damned hard not to get teary, though her eyes are glistening :( ]

H-ha... typical Spiky-han to be stubborn and make it sound that easy.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*noticing that* ...

*okay we're done with word time, time for a hug*

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ very stubbornly biting her lip so she doesn't cry, but returning that hug almost immediately ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*wrapping his arms all the way around, pulling her close, and he won't be letting go*

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

I'll wait. [ closing her eyes briefly ] I-I'll wait for you, so you'd better do your best.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

My best? *a little laugh* My best won't have anything on me then. Gonna have to invent a new word for what I'll be doing, because I'll find a way, and I won't stop looking until I find it.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

R-right... [ yeeeeaaah kinda losing the fight not to cry ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*giving her a squeeze, then pulling back to kiss at some of those tears :(* I promise-- No, I swear-- No, I'm just flat out telling you a fact. I'm going to find you again.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ closing her eyes at that and taking a shaky breath-- and managing a nod after a couple of minutes ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... Good. *and then he'll take a breath himself and resume hugging*

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ kind of burrowing closer at that and resuming the holding on ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*kissing head head again and will continue holding and hugging her* Just you wait. You'll see.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Never doubted you for a second.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

I know.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ and all the tension will be leaving her at that ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*and will probably just stay like this for a little while*

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ fair enough, she's fine with that ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*a long, long while later*

... Hey.
