Seventeenth Case

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ it's a beautiful day! The sun is shining, the monkeys are screeching, there's free cake at the inn and a giant banner that says (more or less) HAPPY BELATED ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY TEAR AND HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY KAITO. Because with Kaito's luck with birthdays, Kazuha isn't taking any chances this time. ]

Okay, so that's two cakes and presents, and the food's done, so that should take care of everything! I'm definitely gonna make sure nothing goes wrong this time! No crazy events, no... love nesting, and no fish in sight! This'll be the best birthday ever!!

... Wait, if we're celebrating Kaito-kun's again, then-- I skipped mine, didn't I?

((Yeah, Tear's anniversary present sucked, and Kaito has the worst luck with birthdays, so Kazuha's combining things. Go ahead and threadhop whoever you so wish. Or just show up to snag some cake.))

What for?

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

[Innocent smile.] Just to be safe, Kaito-niisan.

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

Ha ha ha...

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

[Still so innocent.] Well, it's only fair to warn you, right?

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

I wonder why a little kid needs files on all the people here.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

[Looks at Kaito, silent for several moments. Then he shrugs.]

You think Kaitou Kid's natural rival is an idiot? Natural talent alone wouldn't let me keep up with him.

I have to have some detective skills and information gathering is detective 101.

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

Pretty sharp detective skills for an eight-year old.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

I already said Kururu gave me the disc with all that information. That's why I've been reading through it. I didn't even show you my personal notes.

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

Kids and their dumb detective games.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

It's only as much as a game for me as Kid's heists are for him.

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

You sure are hung over Kid.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

Well, since you like him, it's an easy comparison. [And because he has SUSPICIONS.]

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

I also like Superman, video games, and bikini models.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

I know Superman, video games... [Shrugs.] And I think bikini modes are only important to people older than thirteen, Kaito-neesan.

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

You are almost to that age.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

I'm eight. That's five more years.

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

Five isn't too bad.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

...it's long enough. [He hopes he doesn't have to be thirteen again.

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

You're not too anxious about growing up.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

So you want me to be a pervert?

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

There is nothing wrong with bikini models.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

Just usually boys your age are more interested in them than the suit.

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

If only you were my age now.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

With the scary neechans I know, maybe it'd be better if I didn't.

[Then again, he usually didn't pay attention until it was right in his face.

Or Ran. Ran in a swimsuit was....]

Anyway, what would it matter if I was your age? Do you want to play the 'guess their swimsuit' game like Hattori-neechan too?

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

Heiji does stuff like that?
