I own nothing and no one

Bonus Scene

It was only after the monk escorted the still shell shocked Ginzo Nakamori off the grounds that he realized Kid hadn't left the temple entirely empty handed. Though all the jewels were still present. It was the thief's teacup that was missing. However, a short note had been left in its place.

Tugging the piece of paper free, Mino held it up to the light. Mentally cursing the inevitable consequences of age. Silently he admitted to himself that his daughter was right. He did need a pair of glasses. He wasn't blind yet though. As he read the message, the monk didn't even try to stop the smile that spread across his features.

Alas, it read. It seems I am now the one who must ask for an apology Mino-san. Nakamori-keibu, while having many fine qualities, can be quite stubborn. I myself have on more than one occasion likened him to a bulldog. I would not put it past him to test this cup for DNA. Needless to say, that is something I can not allow.

For multiple reasons. Kaito knew he had gotten lucky on the sole occasion he had been careless enough to leave a bit of himself behind. Fortunately, his genetic structure was close enough to baseline human that it hadn't sent of any red flags in Hakuba's machinery before he got the chance to destroy the sample.

And back then, the detective hadn't known him. Hadn't been looking for anything unusual. If such a thing ever happened again, which it wouldn't Kaito was determined, he had a feeling the blond would. To satisfy his own curiosity if nothing else. However, like he said, it wasn't going to happen. He was even more careful now than he used to be.

Your cup will be returned at the earliest possible convenience. I admit I have never considered dish washing to be among my skills, but I am certain I will muddle through somehow. It was signed K.K., a sketch of a single black feather placed at the bottom of the page.

Still smiling, the monk placed the note in his pocket. He wasn't quite certain what the future would bring. But there was one thing he did know, this was the beginning of what was sure to be an interesting friendship.
