[Toichi was not one to often seem like he was taken off guard. Even when he was, it was amazing how he kept most people from realizing it. This situation he's found himself in, however?

Well, even the great Kuroba Toichi has to have a bit of a 'bwuh' look at finding himself suddenly in a dining hall when he had been just walking into the kitchen. And quite the expansive dining hall at that with all the food prepared.

Sure, he could pull off a disappearing act, but he usually knew where he was going to end up.]

How...strange.

[Oh, and something to note? This Toichi looks...older then some people might know him as. At least eight years older than most Kaito's would remember him, in fact.]

You said I have two out of three. Or two out of three were valid? It certainly seems like you know more than I do.

That or he has a crush on you. We're not sure which it is. [Okay, that was just him teasing.]

That's what comes of being one of the few people Tantei-kun knows won't rat him out to just anyone. Hm... number two and the last one. But not exactly.

I'd really like to NOT have the image in my head that there's a world out there somewhere where Hakuba actually has a crush on me, oyaji. It's just... plain... wrong. Uck.

I suppose you have a point there. Then can I ask if that odd little girl is involved? She came quite out of nowhere too.

[Chuckles.] You never know in a place of unlimited possibilities.

You can. And if you're talking about the same one, then maybe. Warn you, though - she's paranoid.

...Now you're just out to mentally scar me.

Precisely why I thought she was involved. Most children aren't so paranoid.

But it's so easy to do. [Teasing, really.]

-except Tantei-kun and the little ojou-sama, that is. Oh, and that little entourage of theirs is going the same way. But mostly around crime scenes.

...Aoko and Koizumi do that enough back home, in their own special ways. [His tone says exactly what he thinks of that, too.] I don't need it from you too. Please?

There is a difference between paranoia and caution. The other three are learning caution, but Edogawa-kun and Haibara-chan are definitely bridging on paranoid.

[Chuckles.] Fine, fine. I'll lay off. So you've met Koizumi-chan then? An interesting young lady.

True. But I'd say those two have crossed the bridge and gone over to the other side, sometimes.

'Met' is one word for it. 'Interesting' is definitely another. She joined my class not long after my first heist and kept trying to seduce me. She try the same thing in your world?

Well, it's a question of, is it paranoia when someone is out to get you?

Oh yes. She has quite the crush on you. I met her when I was doing a favor for an old friend of mine.

Which is sort of what I meant. But then there're the times when they get entirely the wrong end of the stick. And then there's either embarrassment or a great deal of... no. Just embarrassment.

Great. She call it that? And... old friend? [Curiosity. Since the man's not alive where he's from, he doens't know all of his dad's old friends. Except for the Kudos, that is.]

Well, I suppose then it is paranoia, but most of the time, it might save them.

No. She was quite....tsundere when she talked about you. Said she would control you and all that, but she had a sort of gentleness in how she said it. Though it might not be obvious.

And yes. As I'm sure you're aware, magic exists. I was doing him a favor when it concerned something a bit too dangerous to let float around and he'd ask her help for making sure nothing unfortunate happened when retrieving it and putting it away.

And it does, most of the time. But I'm still allowed to make fun of the time they thought the cat was running messages to the boss. That was just plain hilarious.

I'll admit that she has the capacity to be a very nice girl. Sometimes. You'd have to ask someone else about that side of her, though, because all I usually get is a variation on 'But we could have been so good together'. [a shudder says it all.]

Haven't heard that one before. Should I know him, then?

(ooc:...Dumbledore?)

The cat?

[Grins.] I see that part doesn't seem to change either. Kaito is very perturbed back home, but will begrudgingly admit she can be nice.

Hmmmm, probably not. We only met by chance some years ago. His name is Albus Dumbledore.

((OOC: Because it's my AU and I love that idea, so I'm totally taking it.))

The cat.

Oh, she can be nice all right. Just not normally around me.

...Nope. Never heard of him. [He's read Harry Potter where he's from. But he doesn't feel like explaining how that could be possible.]

(ooc: And it is awesome. There should be more worthwhile HP/MK.)

Which one?

And yet you seem to bring it out in her, even if it doesn't appear so.

I'm not surprised. Very secretive, wizards.

((OOC: There should be.))

Kisaki-obasan's, would you believe. It kept wandering off, and a couple of purely coincidental events lead to the reason why we now call the boss 'Mr. Tiddles'. Because the cat deserved better, and I couldn't think of anything more incriminatingly disturbing for a hard criminal to be called. We all agreed on it, too.

Shame she doesn't show it so much when I'm around.

Not much different from magicians, then? [Big grin. It's good to talk to oyaji about that again.]

(ooc: I've written one, with the dubious title of 'Phantom Magic'. Because I couldn't think of anything better to call it. XD)

Hmmmm, Goro-chan, I believe? [Thinks for a moment and chuckles.] He's a smart cat, but perhaps those two need a break if they really thought he was involved.

That would be why she's a tsundere type.

Oh, there's indeed a lot of similarities. Probably why we get along so well.

((OOC: Titles are hard. Especially for crossovers.))

[Furious nodding.] They do. They really do. Preferably one where there weren't any crimes, but if thay happened, then Tantei-kun would get critically bored. And that's not something that's pretty to see.

...Remind me again why all the girls I associate with are tsundere?

I can imagine that~

(ooc: Definitely. All the good ones are either too obvious to come to mind, or already taken.)

Well, it seems he uses my heists as a mental break from murders. He's quite lively and more childish than he usually is from what I've seen. If a bit...zealous.

Because a submissive woman is boring?

That fits pretty well with how he is back home. Crime is a puzzle, heists are games. One of the few times he can actually let loose, I'd say.

...Aoko or Koizumi as submissive is a terrifying thing to imagine.

Just as long as he doesn't purposefully jump off anymore buildings.

....a bit, yes.

Absolutely none without personal supervision, I can assure you that.

...urk. Definitely. Between them submissive and them as they are, I'd take them as they are.

Good call. The boy is a bit too reckless without enough practice.

That's probably for the best. I know I'm the same with your mother.

[For that, you get a grin.] I think he's reckless even with practice - then, he thinks he knows what he's doing.

...Kurobas choose their women wisely. That's all I can say.

Ah, but then he does have a bit more of a clue. Better an idea than to do something completely new out of the gate all of the time. Especially with his luck. Now if he had Mouri-chan's luck, that's a different story.

I still need to make a game of chance happen between you two. I imagine it would be quite the event.

We have always had excellent taste.
