Ariis101: So yeah, I've updated. It's not really a great chapter but I needed a filler of sorts. Even if it's a short chapter, it's still something though, right? Please don't hate me too much…and don't worry, I've already started the next chapter. Remember to R&R!!!!

Disclaimer: I do not own Magic Kaito, Detective Conan, or One Piece…damn, why can't you let a girl dream???

Eclipsing Eternity

Chapter 3

"Otou-san…"

"Hai?"

"I wanna see nii-sama…"

"Your brother will come when he can."

"But it's been eleven months and I'm so bored! Nothing fun has occurred for the longest time!"

"You do realize that we are currently in a time of peace right?"

…

*sigh* "Alright…we'll go look for your brother. I have to agree with you though, I'm starting to get a little worried…he normally sends word when he's going to be awhile, but there's been nothing…"

"hmm hmm…"

Beep…

Beep…

Beep…

"Otou-san," said Aoko as she came into the pristine hospital room, "I brought you some dinner…"

"Ah, thank you," said Ginzo gratefully as he took the small wrapped up bento box from Aoko's hand, "but Aoko, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be home doing homework?"

"Otou-san!" said Aoko with her hands on her hips and a scowl on her face, "It's Friday! I don't need to do any homework tonight!"

"Ah…really? I thought it was Tuesday…"

"Otou-san…you really need to stop coming here every day. It's not good for you and I doubt Kid's going to wake up anytime soon!"

"I know, I know," said Ginzo wearily from his seat next to Kid's bed, "It's just—"

"I know," interrupted Aoko as she smiled fondly at her father, "you just can't leave him alone."

"It's not just that though," said Ginzo as he looked at Kid, "he's so young. I thought I was chasing a forty year old at least, not some snot nosed brat that hasn't even hit adulthood yet."

"Otou-san…" whispered Aoko as she looked at her father with saddened eyes.

"I just…want to know what happened," said Ginzo.

"I'm sure that Kid will be able to answer your questions once he wakes up," said Aoko as she too turned her eyes to the unconscious boy.

"I hope so…" muttered Ginzo, "I—"

"Uh…Otou-san?" interrupted Aoko again.

"Yes?"

"You might be getting your wish real soon."

"And why do you say that?"

"Because Kid's heart rate is speeding up…"

"Really? Well that's ju—NANI?!"

Ginzo watched as nurses and Kid's main doctor raced into the room to make sure that Kid's trip back into consciousness would be without complications.

"I still cannot believe that he is waking up so soon…" muttered the doctor in disbelief as he worked, hooking wires up to machines, etc…, "He should have been in a coma for at least three years."

Humph…thought Ginzo in disdain, there is no way Kid would stay unconscious for that long. He likes giving people headaches way too much…

"Nakamouri-keibu," said a nurse as she came up to him and Aoko, "I need the both of you to wait outside of the room please."

Ginzo looked at the nurse and then glanced over at Kid, before nodding and leaving the room, Aoko behind him. As Ginzo and Aoko waited for the ok to enter the room once again, Ginzo found a payphone down the hallway and called Hisamitsu to say that Kid was finally awakening. Ginzo hanged up after he heard Hisamitsu say he was coming.

Twenty minutes later, footsteps echoed off the walls as Hisamitsu came into view holding a small white bag in one hand. He sat down in a vacant chair next to the duo and took a blue bento box with cartoon-styled pink flowers covering it out of the white bag. Ginzo raised an eyebrow at the sight, but didn't comment as Hisamitsu sent him a glare. Aoko however, was another story as she tried, and failed, to stifle her giggles. Hisamitsu sighed in defeat and asked, "Well? Has anyone come out yet?"

Ginzo just shook his head in response, and looked down at his clasped hands in his lap. Hisamitsu sighed once more, and quickly finished his lunch. Hiding the bento box that was obviously meant for an elementary school girl back in the white bag, he sat back and closed his eyes.

It wasn't until another twenty minutes passed before Kid's doctor came out of the hospital room. All three stood up; Aoko and Ginzo's faces filled with apprehension while Hisamitsu's was blank.

"Well?" asked Ginzo impatiently.

The doctor sighed, "He's awake, but…"

"But…?"

The doctor just shook his head and said in an exhausted voice, "The boy has amnesia."

…

"…what?"
