I: Hakuba and Kuroba

"What are you doing here?"

He turned at the voice, his congenial grin sliding into an unimpressed glower upon seeing his addresser. "Oh, it's you."

"Why are you here, Kuroba-kun?" he asked with a hint of suspicion, his eyes lingering on the badge hanging off his coat lapel.

"What, I'm not allowed into the building that I'll be working in, Hakuba?"

Hakuba Saguru, the newest member of Division Two, Criminal Affairs, gaped. "You—you're working here?!"

Kuroba Kaito crossed his arms over his chest, easily ignoring the stares of their fellow policemen from Saguru's rather loud exclamation in the hallway. "Yep," he replied succinctly. He unclipped the badge and flashed it in front of his new coworker's face. "See?"

His classmate from high school snatched the badge, tilting it in the fluorescent lighting of the hallway as he checked the hologram printed on the identification card in addition to the placement of the internal computer chip and the headshot of, "Kuroba Kaito, Division Three – Theft".

"You're working in theft?" he asked incredulously as Kaito reclaimed his badge and clipped it back onto his coat.

"Well, I wasn't allowed to work in Division Two with Nakamori-keibu," Kaito replied with a pout. "Told me he couldn't afford to have any KID fans as part of his team."

Saguru grumbled under his breath, "I wonder why…"

"I'll be seeing you, Hakuba," Kaito said with a jaunty wave. "Have to report to Momose-keibu."

The blond watched the brunet nuisance wander down the hallway to the elevators before he turned on his heel and stalked towards the offices housing Division Two, muttering about, "Standards," and, "Liars."

Author's Note: I think this might become a little stress reliever when some of my other fics get to me. I will write this whenever the mood strikes me, so updates will definitely be sporadic. Takes place after Shinichi's organization is taken down, and Shinichi has received the antidote. Can anyone seriously imagine Kaito working for the police? I can only imagine the fun to be had! I feel pity for Saguru already. I hope you enjoyed it.
