Two boys, two silver bullets

Chapter 1

A young man hurried along a narrow alley between the dark and rusty warehouses. His heart beat faster and faster as he got closer to his destination. He wasn't sure what was waiting for him, but he knew it was something bad.

Kuroba Kaito wasn't that normal of a boy. Like other 18-year-old teenagers, he was in his third grade of high school and spent his leisure time with his friends—his childhood friend Nakamori Aoko and a "baka-tantei" Hakuba Saguru. But he had one secret that was known only by two other people, his mother, Chikage, and Jii-chan, his deceased father's beloved friend. When the night falls, he puts on his white suit, monocle, top hat and flies with his hang-glider under the moonlight.

Kaitou Kid, the Phantom Thief. He steals diamonds and jewels, only to return them later. He's been searching for a very special crimson gemstone for a year now, the Pandora. It's rumored that Pandora glows red under the moonlight and cries red tears, the elixir of life, making the person savoring it immortal.

Kaito wasn't sure whether he should believe those stories or not but he had to try to find the jewel. As it occurred to him one year ago, his father had been the original Kaitou Kid until 9 years ago. An evil syndicate, also known as the Black Organization or the Ravens, had asked Kuroba Toichi to find Pandora for them. When Toichi learned about the wickedness of the diamond, he refused to help the organization. His decision lead to his death on stage at one of his magic shows. As Kaito had, one year ago, gotten to know the truth, his father's death wasn't just a mere accident but a murder committed by the Black Organization's member called Snake.

To revenge his father, Kaito decided to become the next Kaitou Kid to lure out the people who were responsible for the murder. He wasn't a killer himself, but he could always get them behind iron bars never to be let out again.

The reason he was running down the alley was a note he had received earlier that day. Tonight at eleven o'clock, come to Edogawa Ward, under the Keiyo Road bridge. If not, we're sure to get rid of you and your dear mother as well. The note had been addressed to Kaitou Kid and was put on their kitchen table—meaning he was in big trouble. They finally knew his identity.

His mother was at the moment safe in the USA. She had left yesterday and had already called Kaito to tell him how excited she was and told Kaito to change his underwear every day.

"As if I didn't do that anyway", Kaito thought, narrowing his eyes. Kaito had told her to take her time and not to come before Christmas. He was afraid there might be listening devices in their house so he decided not to mention the note but hoped she would get the hint.

He was just getting to his goal as he noticed a tall man standing under the bridge's shadow. No one else was around. Kaito pulled his black sweater's hood more over his head to cover his face.

"I'm surprised you were brave—or fool—enough to come here, Kaitou Kid", murmured a low voice coming out of the man's mouth. "Or should I say, Kuroba Kaito."

The man grinned as Kaito broke in sweat. Kaito remained silent, waiting for Snake to carry on his speech.

"You might be wondering why I invited you to this lovely place. Let me tell you then", Snake said, turning to face Kaito directly.

"Our boss isn't happy with the fact we haven't found Pandora yet. That's I'm offering you a deal. You're going to find it for us, and as a reward we won't kill you."

"And why would I do that?" Kaito spoke for the first time.

"Didn't I say it clearly enough? We will spare you and your mother. Your dear father, Kuroba Toichi, wasn't smart enough and look what happened to him. Or do you want to end up like that?" Snake threatened.

Kaito didn't answer. He knew he was in big trouble if he refused but he couldn't help them. He didn't want to. It seemed there was no one else around but it was unlikely for Snake to have come without backup. Kaito calculated his chances. If I just run they'll shoot me. I jump in the river and they could still shoot though it seems like the safest way. Kaa-san is fine, I don't need to worry about her.

Kaito stepped a little closer to the river. "I'm sorry but I can't help you." He threw a flash bomb to the ground and literally ran for his life. The edge was only five meters away...

He knew his attempt was meaningless. When the sharp pain hit his leg, he was afraid he might faint. He stumbled and fell to the ground. Before he could get up, he felt Snake pressing his shoe on the back of his head.

"I give you one more chance. Will you find it for us or not?" Snake asked with a devilish voice.

"No..." Kaito breathed out.

"As you wish."

Kaito felt a kick to his head and black danced across his vision. He was numb and couldn't move. His hair was grabbed and his head pulled up roughly. Something was put in his mouth, and water made it slither smoothly down his throat. Fading footsteps, and then pain—ten times worse than the bullet wound—hit him.

So, how was it? :] Review please!

2) You're probably referring to why I wrote "Kaito Kid" instead of "Kaitou Kid", or as some have said, "Mori" instead of "Mouri". That's cos the Finnish translation have those names without "u" since we spell words differently and it would sound pretty odd with "u" aaaannddd this translation has just been stuck in my head, I'll try to do better and with Nacchan's help it won't be a problem. xD

3)I actually watched it a day or two before your review so... XP I was pretty surprised, I'll remember that later!

- all those who have commented the name "Keita"... Don't worry, I have changed it but no more spoilers! :D (tho it shouldn't be surprise..)

Thank you all for your support, I appreciate it! :]
