It's finally February again! We all know what that means! Valentine's Day! And to celebrate, I plan to have a small valentine-based story for every day until it's the 14th! Woooo!
...wow, I'm even getting writer's block when I try to write this. This doesn't bode well...
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the stories that will be coming up. And remember that everytime a reader reviews, a timid fanfiction writer gains a little bit more hope.
Once more, this looks a little short. Am I forgetting anything? Other than mentioning that Conan is not mine? Don't think so. Enjoy.
"Stop him!" "Don't let him escape!"
"This is Yamagawa, we need backup at the east wall!"
"He went this way!"
"This is Nakamori-keibu! The following message is for all officers nearby:
GET OFF YOUR BUTTS AND GET KAITOU KID!!!
As usual, a Kaitou Kid heist had been announced. And also as usual, Nakamori-keibu spent all the time he had preparing for the heist (and almost shouting himself hoarse in the process). However, one thing wasn't normal... it was the day before Valentine's Day. And was it coincidence that Kid had chosen to steal a rather large pink gem this time? No, of course not. Or so Nakamori thought.
Swiftly and silently, the lithe man in a white tuxedo, matching top hat and flowing cape known as Kaitou Kid was making a hardy sprint down the hall, being chased by a large number of police men, all shouting desperately into their radios and at each other in an effort to capture this elusive criminal. Had he not studied the layout of the museum beforehand, the thief would've easily been lost within the confusing labyrinth of passages and dead ends leading to his target.
"Surround the north and east entrances to the room! He's almost reached the south one!" Shouted a short-tempered mustached officer, Nakamori-keibu, into a square, standard-issue walkie-talkie. Indeed, the tunnel widened up ahead and spread into a large room, filled with colored jewels, gems, gold artifacts, and anything else imaginable that was both expensive and shiny. And in the middle was a large pedestal, on which should be the jewel on the to-steal list this night. However...
"Wha-?" Kid sputtered a little, almost letting his mask slip. Where there should have been one, pink gem, there were at least 20, colored from dark reds to light purples. Kid walked
"Wha-?" Kid sputtered a little, almost letting his mask slip. Where there should have been one, pink gem, there were at least 20, colored from dark reds to light purples. Kid walked up close to the overladen platform, hiding his surprise with a straight face while watching numerous policemen arrive and guard the two exits in the room.
"HA!" A sudden, forced laugh made Kid turn around to see Nakamori-keibu looking triumphant. "A little too Valentine's Day for me, but it works all the same! Let's see you get your gem when you can't even figure out which is the right one!" He gloated, a proud look on his face.
Kid only stared back for a little, but then his mouth curved up into a small smile. "You make this too easy for me, Nakamori-keibu." He said light-heartedly, reaching behind his cape and pulling, almost out of nowhere, a large cloth sack. And with just as much ease, in one move he swept all the jewels with his arm into the bag. Had he still been watching Nakamori, he would've seen his face turn red with rage. "DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY!!" He yelled furiously, at which cue the police started spilling into the room and making a charge for the thief.
Donning a wider grin, he simply straightened out his arm, a grey cylinder appearing in his gloved hand. And after a short squeeze, it made a snap noise, and smoke started belching out from the device at an extreme rate; within seconds the room was filled with a hazy smoke. The cops were bumping into each other, and general confusion reigned for a few seconds until they heard sound of a window opening and someone saying "It was fun, but I can't play with you all night. Until the next heist, ne?" and then nothing.
The smoke eased out of the open window, and within a couple of minutes the smoke had thinned out enough to where the entire room was visible again. The roar of the crowd outside came through the window, an obvious indicator that Kid had made his escape in front of the adrenaline pumped people. The policemen were milling around in the room, unsure of what they were doing, or even what had happened. There was lots of broken glass and disturbed exhibits, probably from the bumbling police earlier trying to make their blinded way through a room with many obstructions.
Kaitou Kid had stolen the gem and gotten away. Not to mention almost 20 other gems were stolen as well. The police were humiliated again, the public had gotten their show, and the museum owners were sure to complain about the damage. And the worst part was that the collateral damage was all caused by the police. Again.
"WHOSE HALF-BRAINED IDEA WAS THIS ANYWAYS!?!"

Nakamori slowly awoke to find himself face down on a desk, drooling a little from his open mouth. Where am I? This looks like my office, but... he suddenly remembered. He had, instead of returning home like he normally did, went back to the police headquarters to rage about Kaitou Kid, and yell at his officers about their ineptitude, and had fallen asleep on his desk after staying up too long. He rubbed his eyes and yawned widely, straightening up from his chair, still sleepy from not having enough rest. With his vision still a little blurry, he looked down at his desk, and saw a letter attached to a small sack that had an image on it that he would never forget in his entire life: that small Kaitou Kid caricature that was always on the heist notes.
Almost like he was hit by lightening, he grabbed the small note as fast as he could and read the note with wide open eyes:
-
Happy Valentine's Day, Nakamori-san. I can only hope that you give me something in return; I do have a sweet tooth for chocolate. And don't worry about the other gems. I have a few other people who I need to give Valentines to anyways.
And so you don't go busting an artery, I'll let you know this: it washes right off.
Kaitou Kid
-
Mystified by what that last sentence could've meant, he grabbed the small bag and emptied its contents onto the desk. There fell a large pink jewel, the one that had been stolen by Kid. Returned, as usual. But there was something about it that didn't look right-
Nakamori started turning redder and redder, feeling the combined anger and embarrassment well up inside of him. On the top of the gem was written, in black marker, "BE MINE VALENTINE". Eventually he could no longer take either of the emotions he was feeling, and exploded in a fury.
It was said that the screaming could be heard for miles. Needless to say, the white figure on the roof had no trouble hearing it, and flitted away with a wide smile on his face. He would've loved to stay around and watch the fireworks, but school was starting soon, and there was sure to be Valentine's Day fun to be had there.
The sun was on its journey upward, warming up the wintry town. The holiday had only just begun.
A little short, but hopefully original. Anyways, please review. It's you, the readers, who give me motivation. Without you, I am no writer. So please help me to see this thing through!
