[If you're of a mind to be around a particular area - about where a certain deceased detective was a while ago, in fact - you might just notice a white-clad thief leaning against a wall]

[It's not a casual slump, nor an elegant one - it's the slump of the exhausted, and he certainly looks it - his hat pulled down low, some papers held in one hand, and his eyes half-lidded, seeing nothing in particular]

[a little while after this] [all Shinichi be warned] [in fact, -everyone- be warned]

.... [Okay, that was creepy to see.]

Kaito...what happened to you?

[theother1412.livejournal.com]

[he fires at her, angry, not caring where he hits with these sharp razor-edge cards]

[he hisses, angry]

Not Kaito.

[thirdpersonmop.livejournal.com]

[She freezes as it goes right by her face, cutting her cheek.]

Kaito...

[This...this was messed up. So very, very wrong, all of it.]

[theother1412.livejournal.com]

[growls, truly angry now, and stalking towards Aoko to grab at her shirt, wanting to shake her, make her listen]

Don't call me that, don't, don't call me that!

[thirdpersonmop.livejournal.com]

[One hand grabs his in her shirt.]

Kaito...

[There was still confusion, but now there was a determination in her eyes as the other hand reached to touch his cheek.]

What happened to you?

[theother1412.livejournal.com]

[hisses, and smacks her hand away from his face]

None of your business GO AWAY!

[he's not shaking, not yet, but his breathing isn't quite even, and poker face? what poker face?]

[thirdpersonmop.livejournal.com]

[And now she's looking more worried.]

Of course it's my business, Bakaito. You're Aoko's friend.

Even if you're another Kaito...

[theother1412.livejournal.com]

[lashes out with the hand that holds the card gun, angry and violent, raging at her]

STOP CALLING ME THAT!

Stop, stop it! Stupid little girl!

[thirdpersonmop.livejournal.com]

[And she puts up an arm to block the hand, stumbling back from the force, but staying on her feet.]

[But now, of course, she had gotten bad.]

Kaito! Kaito Kaito Kaito Kaito Kaito BAKAITO!

[theother1412.livejournal.com]

[clamps his hands over his ears, eyes closed tight so he can't -see- her saying it, the card gun falling to the floor, forgotten]

Stop it, stop it, STOP IT, STOP IT!

[thirdpersonmop.livejournal.com]

[She closed the distance between them, taking the chance to kick away the card gun, and grabbing his hands, yanking on them to pull them away.

She was...rather strong, even for an Aoko. She'd been training ever since she saw how dangerous the Digital World was.]

Kaito! You are Kuroba Kaito!

[theother1412.livejournal.com]

AM NOT!

[he fights her, ripping his hands away from hers, incensed]

[glares at Aoko, breathing uneven, hands twiching, teeth bared in a silent growl]

[stupid - why is she - what - it's not - go away - not him - dead and gone - stupid little girl]

[thirdpersonmop.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE!

[And tries to bat away that hat and snatch away the monocle.]

[theother1412.livejournal.com]

[dodges, avoiding the grab for his monocle, but the hat is gone when it wouldn't be if she wasn't there, so confusing-]

[he growls now, shoulders shaking]

Not.

[thirdpersonmop.livejournal.com]

ARE!

[And trying for his monocle again.]

/fails forever

[theother1412.livejournal.com]

NO!

[he flings his arms out, trying to knock her away, preventing her from grabbing at his monocle as he backs away]

[another growl, furious and hurting, and he snatches off the monocle himself, revealing the slight scarring there, the twisted skin of an old burn]

[it makes sense to him. if she's tyring to unmask him, then he'll stop her by doing it himself]

Re: /fails forever

[thirdpersonmop.livejournal.com]

[She freezes, her eyes widening as sees it. The scaring.]

...what happened?

Re: /fails forever

[theother1412.livejournal.com]

No, none of your business, shan't tell you

[glares at with eyes that glitter with hate]

Go away.

[thirdpersonmop.livejournal.com]

[She looks...HURT at the glare, but she doesn't back down.]

Kaito, please tell me.

[theother1412.livejournal.com]

[he growls, hands twitching, and advances on her, plain in his expression that he has somehting vicious planned]

Stop. Calling. Me. That.

[he cracks a grin, far too bright to be nice]

Or do you want to die?

[thirdpersonmop.livejournal.com]

[She didn't back down. Didn't even really flinch. She had stared down monster, psychotic gods, and even death. She'd be damned if she backed down NOW.]

...Kaito would never hurt Aoko.

[theother1412.livejournal.com]

[his grin cracks, and he laughs, a highpitched giggle, so very amused]

Kaito wouldn't.

[1412 makes a grab for her, hands reaching for her throat, to slam her against the wall and make her hurt]

[thirdpersonmop.livejournal.com]

[She didn't fight. Not yet, anyway. She winced a bit at the slam, but just looked at him stubbornly even with the hands on her throat.]

You...are....Kaito.

[theother1412.livejournal.com]

[he doesn't reply, just digs his thumbs in deep, wanting her to hurt more than he does to strangle, teeth bared in a sadistic grin]

[thirdpersonmop.livejournal.com]

It's...not you...it's the pain...whatever happened...

[She moves up her hands to touch his face. Even as she winced in pain, she didn't look away from him.]

Kaito...would never do this...not unless...something really, really wrong happened...
