Aoko gave him a flat look. "Oh yes. I majorly didn't trust Kaito in the fact I went after Kaitou Kid when I CLEARLY should have known it was him without knowing it was him since he never told me. How duppy of me," Aoko said. The sarcastic was very evident. As well as slang that was probably not from Kaito's time.

Not that he notices. She's Aoko and she did something stupid and every bad thing he never wanted to happen, did happen.

"You shouldn't have gone after KID."

"But what does that have to do with not trusting you? It's not like you never told me not to. At least...I'm PRETTY sure you didn't..." Aoko said, frowning. She didn't remember anything like that. She remembered him fanboying Kid. Nothing about telling her not to go.

Silence. Annoyed, childish, pouting silence.

Aoko glared at him. And then after a minute, sighed. "I'm alive, Bakaito," she said. "And as boring immortality can be, at least we're not alone. Kaito's there. So are Conan-kun and Haibara-chan. And that Vermouth lady, but she's kind of unsettling..."

"How'd Conan and Ai-chan get involved in immortality?"

"That drug that shrunk them apparently made them seven forever."

...

No. No. No. Not going to happen.

"If I'm stuck this size for the rest of eternity, they had better start letting me have coffee. Or chocolate." Turning his full attention to Aoko, and starting in on a little rant. "Did you know they won't even let me have chocolate? Even Conan says I shouldn't have any. It's not like I get that hyped up on sugar!"

"I think if you grow in the next two years, it means you're safe. It doesn't seem to be a constant. Especially since I saw some tall Conan-kun's," Aoko said.

"You don't need sugar to be hyped up, but denying Kaito chocolate all the time...it does seem kind of like kicking a puppy...."

"Well, that's good to know."

And as much as he resents the puppy comment, he cranks up the little-kid charm. "I know. But they no."

"If not, my Haibara-chan is still in science, so she might be able to make a cure if she has new data to work with?" Aoko offered with a smile. Well, she had expressed an interest as such.

Aoko blinked. "You could just ask instead of trying to charm it out of Aoko."

Abject. Horror. "Has Ai-chan ever run tests on you?"

A shrug, "I wasn't asking for any, but if you have some..."

That smile is FAR too innocent on Aoko's face. "No, but how can could it be." Clearly, she knows how Ai can be.

"Tell Aoko your real name and I will."

".... Ahoko."

Possibly in answer to all of the above.

"No name, no chocolate." Just try the puppy dog look.

"I," he said, suddenly somewhat serious, "am someone who used to be Kuroba Kaito."

Aoko blinked. Then giggled. "Silly Bakaito. Even with another name, you're always Kaito. Just like Aoko is Aoko, even if she's calling herself Annie, Victoria, or Xing Hua," Aoko said, but pulled out a chocolate bar and tossed it up to him.

"Well, Xing Hua, thank you for this wonderful gift."

"Just don't use it as an excuse to act like a crazy monkey."

"When do I ever act like a crazy monkey?"

"At least twenty percent of the time."

"... Ten percent."

"It's twenty on a relatively calm day."

"Ten. The rest of your 'crazy monkey' idea is me acting like a lemur."

"What's the difference?"

And now I think Artemis Fowl.
