I think the funniest thing about this chappie is, the list of prompts are for December, right, and I've set this one during Autumn. What a Sin. Anyway, moving on. This one's main focus isn't Kaito and Shinichi themselves but it's still KaiShin or ShinKai or whatever this is. I think it came to about 750 words so probably around the same as the second length wise. I forgot to warn people about the swearing in the last one, I'm very sorry. No one commented on it but it was a silly mistake on my part. I'm pretty sure the T rating covers it but I should have probably written it in anyway.

I have the list of winners for the marathon.
1st 'nissancrazygirl'
2nd 'AngelsBeast'
3rd 'CatsRAdorbs'
Thankyou for your reviews getting feedback is one of the greatest things in the world. I'm not kidding.

The next competition is to tell me the name of my OC's mother. First person to tell me will be 1st. You might want to consider aliases as I will accept only one name (if you get the wrong one I'll give you an honourable mention).

Prompt: Star

Warning: Shounen-ai (it's there kinda), an OC of mine (sorry for those that don't like non-canon characters)

Claimer: My OC.

Disclaimer: Everything else.

Let the challenge begin!

Blonde curls bounced around the face of the lively four year old girl. She was dancing under the brightly coloured autumn leaves as they fell to the grass below. She was smiling but there was pain in her eyes.

The child was bare foot and wearing a light blue sundress. You could see the scars that littered her arms and legs, reminders of the hard times she'd suffered. She'd been through more in four years than many adults would go through in a lifetime.

"Shinichi, I want to protect her." Kaito stated firmly.

Shinichi spluttered, "That was not what I was expecting."

"What were you expecting?" The two were currently standing not too far away from the bundle of joy that was bounding between the trees. She was an orphan girl currently in need of a home.

"Something along the lines of 'Shin-chan can we keep her, can we please' while you pull aimlessly at my sleeve." Shinichi mimicked rather accurately.

"Maybe for any other child but I didn't think it was the right thing to say in this case. That would have gotten me a straight up no." Kaito stated sincerely.

"It's still a no."

"Can I have a reason for the no?"

"I don't trust her, wait that came out wrong. I don't trust her mother." The detective corrected.

"Shinichi…"

"She tried to kill me, Kaito!" Shinichi replied suddenly and loudly.

Kaito took a step back. "She's only four that's not enough time for her to be totally brainwashed. And her mother protected your identity."

"That didn't stop her from going after me."

Kaito took a deep breath, "You saved her life, you and Mouri-chan both did. She was working alone the night she tried to take Haibara-san and she didn't mention anything about you being involved. She was protecting you from the organisations clutches the whole time. If she hated you enough she had all the information she needed to take you out with the men in black, but she withheld everything."

"I'm the reason she isn't with her mother. If we become her parents, Kaito, she'll hate me. We don't know if she'll want her own revenge." Shinichi tried again.

"Look at her scars. Where do you think she got them from? Who do you think was the cause of those scars?"

"You heard what her mother said when they were all taken away."

Shinichi repeated the words that were spoken, "Tell my daughter I love her and that I tried to protect her to the end."

"She obviously wanted her daughter to have nothing to do with the organisation, but they wouldn't have it. She should be thanking you for locking up the people who hurt her not plotting revenge on you because you also had to lock up her mum."

"How can you be so sure?"

Kaito shook his head at Shinichi's antics, "You're insufferable. Rose, come over here."

The young girl stopped dancing and padded over to the young men.

"Do you know who this man is?" Kaito asked gesturing to Shinichi.

"Kaito, stop…" Shinichi tried to protest.

"He's the man that saved me and mummy, but he had to take mum away. I don't know if I'll see her again but because of this man I know she'll be safe." She grasped Shinichi's hand, "You took away all the black people right?"

Shinichi crouched down and tucked Rose's bangs behind her ear. "I'm sorry."

Rose started tearing up, "Please say they're all gone."

"The main ones are but I don't know if there are any more out there, I'm really sorry."

"The blond man in the long coat has gone away, hasn't he?" The girl was close to hysterics, "He hurt me, and I can't hide from him because he always finds me."

"Gin?" Shinichi spat like the name tasted vile in his mouth.

Rose froze too scared to move.

"Oh god, he's gone, he's never coming back. I've locked him up for good. You're safe from him. There's no way he can find you now." Shinichi pulled the girl to himself and let her sob into his chest.

Kaito decided it was time he filled out the adoption papers. He couldn't see Shinichi saying no now. Well, he wouldn't let him if he did.

After all, an angel should never cry. A megawatt smile should never be a frown. A motherless child should never be alone. And a bright star like Rose Vineyard should never ever be turned away from.

So, did you figure it out? Who is Rose's mother?

If the story of Rose intrigues you let me know if you'd like to see more of her. I'm considering giving her a story all to herself. Let me know what you think.

Til next time,
