Mikau: Thanks so much for checking this out! This is going to be a fun little series. The first four chapters will be short, five sentence fics, but chapter five and six will be longer. Special guest Conan in chapter five. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Standard disclaimer applies throughout. I own only my imagination…and every volume of DC and MK in Japanese, but that doesn't entitle me to much.

Graph

"Your y axis is a little…" Hakuba started but then thought better of it because how in the world could he tell Nakamori Aoko that her variables didn't seem to have any sort of correlation at all?

He couldn't…because she was very adamant about this Kid Capture Brigade idea of hers, and she was completely certain that as they all increased in dressing in matching outfits, their number of Kids captured would go up.

"That's not how you use a line graph," Kaito finally pointed out in Saguru's stead, helpfully adding, "You're just as dumb as your father."

Akako quickly intervened before things got out of hand and their meeting disintegrated into one of Aoko and Kaito's classroom spectacles: "He's just grouchy because he can't see through Kid's illusions, Nakamori-san; your graph is spectacular…very…artistic and…colorful."

"We're never gonna capture Kid-sama at this rate," Kaito yawned, to which Hakuba was sorely tempted to add, "Because he sits in on our secret meetings and is thus privy to our strategies!"
