Chapter Text

It's been a three days, and still no sign of Kuroba Kaito. A missing person's report was finally issued.

Hakuba does his best to trace Kuroba's footsteps. But still nothing.

After four more sleepless nights...

Hakuba wakes up to see a familiar face in the moonlight.

"K-Kuroba?!" Hakuba yells.

Looking at Kuroba now, he's a mess. Obviously malnourished and dehydrated. 'So thin...'

"...help..." Kuroba mutters before he loses consciousness.

"Oi!" Hakuba grabs his waist, supporting him.

Hakuba sighs as he puts Kuroba down on his bed before calling an ambulance...and arrangements to put Kuroba under police protection in case whoever kidnapped him comes back.

'And they probably will...' Hakuba huffs as he gently pets Kuroba's hair before holding his hand. If only to make sure this isn't a dream and that he's still there. Alive.

Kaito wakes up in the hospital, police officers guarding him.

"You're awake?"

"Hakuba..."

"I was so worried!" Hakuba hugs Kaito.

Kaito sighs, "How long have I've been out?"

"Two days."

'Two days... They're probably waiting for the right moment to kill me.'

"Hakuba.."

"Yeah?"

Kaito states, his serious poker face on, "I need a computer, and could you call the PSB?"

Hakuba nods, "Uh... what should I tell them?"

"Tell them that I have an entire organization after me."

"...an- an entire organization?!"

"Yup."

"Is this related to-" 'KID?'

"Yes."

"O-OK."

Hakuba does as he's told by Kaito.

He gets Kaito a computer, who immediately turns it on, typing nonstop as Hakuba makes the call to the PSB.

Of course, the PSB immediately agree to put Kaito Kuroba under their protection.

Once Kaito was done typing, he smirks, KID-like.

Hakuba shivers at that smirk, and wonders, 'What's he planning now?'

"Hakuba, could you hand me the phone?"

Hakuba hands Kaito the phone, cautiously waiting for whatever move the magician's about to make.

"Hello?" Kaito smiles, the laptop on his lap.

"How did you get this number?"

"Kazami-san~ that's not important right now. Get me in touch with Zero."

"...Uh..."

"Furuya-san, Amuro Tooru, or Bourbon. I don't care which face he's using right now. Just get him on the phone!" Kaito growls.

"OK OK!" he panics before hanging up.

"..."

"Who are you?" a different voice answers.

"Kuroba Kaito...or you might know me as Kaitou KID."

'That boy...' "What do you want?"

"I'm sending you all the data I've got on that organization that's hunting me right now~," Kaito clicks on the laptop, sending the data to Kazami and Furuya before huffing and complaining, "Honestly... that stupid Snake should've just shot me and left me for dead instead of putting me in a dog cage and leaving me to die in their own headquarters."

"...Snake?"

"I know him as Snake, you know him as Jackal. He's been trying to kill me for a while now."

"...I got the data, KID."

"Good!" Kaito grins, "As soon as I recover, I'll do what I do best at. Being live bait for those bastards. But until then... Furuya-san, please kick them into the depths of despair for me!"

"...I'll do my best," Furuya sighs despite being ordered by a revenge hungry teenager.

"Thank you! Bye!" Kaito hangs up.

Meanwhile, Hakuba's having a meltdown with all this new info dropped on him like a bomb.

He does agree that Snake/Jackal is stupid for leaving Kaito in his own headquarters alone with no one supervising him. That was just asking for trouble.

'Still...an entire organization's trying to kill Kaito... Should I be worried about his mental state?' Hakuba thinks to himself before seeing Kaito so cheerful about the organization's destruction.

Shaking his head, 'Nah... Kaito's probably fine. He's mentally tough but...' he hugs Kaito again regardless.

"What're you doing?" Kaito blinks at him.

"Just thought you needed more hugs," Hakuba excuses.

"...OK," Kaito agrees, and lets Hakuba hug him as much as he wants.

Chapter Text

Kuroba manages to escape but is on the run. 'Hakuba's? No... I don't think I can run that far right now. Kudo's it is!'

He sneaks into Kudo's mansion through the window before collapsing onto a bed.

Subaru comes home to a "guest".

He carefully examines them. 'Malnourished. Dehydrated.' And then he sees the scars. 'Gunshot wounds...'

Sighing, he lets the boy sleep as he goes to prepare something light to eat and some tea.

When Kaito wakes up, his head is groggy.

"You're awake?"

"!" Kaito's startled.

"It's OK... I won't hurt you," Subaru says in a soft voice, "Hungry?"

Just then, Kaito's stomach growls.

After eating, Subaru gets Kaito to tell him what happened.

"...kidnapped. Escaped," Kaito says, his voice hoarse as he sips his tea.

'So he was kidnapped but escaped recently.'

"Why come here?" He asks, curious.

"Safe here."

'...He's been here before?'

"Who are you?" Subaru asks.

"Kaito. Kuroba Kaito."

'The boy who was recently reported missing?'

"Can I hide here for a while?" Kaito asks, genuinely scared. Going home or Nakamori's isn't an option. Neither is Blue Parrot or his safehouses. 'It's only a matter of time before the organization realizes that I've escaped...and hunt me again.'

"Of course," Subaru nods, "But shouldn't you call the police?"

"No!" Kaito shakes his head, "No... "normal" police wouldn't be able to handle it. They'll just get themselves killed."

"An organization?" Subaru asks, a serious look in his eyes.

"..." Kaito nods, trembling a bit.

Sighing, Subaru nods, "...alright. I can hide you here for now."

Kaito smiles, "OK...Subaru-san."

Subaru pauses, 'I never told him my name...'

"...KID?"

Kaito just giggles before passing out again, catching up on sleep.

Two days later...

Conan was called to the Kudo mansion, and finds...

"Subaru-san? What?" He's surprised to find the recently missing high schooler that he's seen on the news on the couch.

"Yo, Meitantei."

"KID?!"

Then Subaru explains the situation.

Conan can only face palm, "...you're being hunted by an organization. One that you've been fighting alone this whole time. You were kidnapped by them, but escaped and chose here to hide."

"Yeah. That's the gist of it," Kaito shrugs.

"...you stupid baro..." Conan mutters.

"Akai-san..."

"I already told him he could hide here...at least until he gets his strength back up."

"After I recover, I'll be helping as a collaborator to destroy that organization~," Kaito smiles.

'So you teamed with Akai-san and the FBI huh...' Conan sighs, "Fine... but what should I call you?"

"Call me Kaito."

"OK..."

Chapter Text

Kaito had escaped, but is on the run. He just ran and ran until he bumped into someone.

"Are you OK?"

He recognized that voice. Bourbon, Amuro, Furuya. The triple-faced PSB.

"...help..." Kaito squeaks out before the adrenaline wore off. Feeling how tried he actually was, he lost consciousness.

Furuya catches the boy who fainted on him, who asked for help.

Now that he's gotten a good look at him, he recognizes the boy from the news. Kuroba Kaito, who went missing about a week ago. He picks up Kuroba easily, 'Too light...' and brings him to a safehouse.

Sighing, Furuya calls Kazami.

"Get me everything on Kuroba Kaito."

"Isn't that the boy who went missing?"

"I just found him. More like he found me."

"Hah?!"

"I brought him to a safehouse. He's safe right now but... I've got a bad feeling about this, so please, Kazami..."

"...Hai, Furuya-san."

"Thank you."

After hanging up, Furuya cooks something light and tea to pass the time, and maybe wake up Kuroba with the smell of food.

A few hours later, Kuroba wakes up, yawning, his stomach growling.

"Awake already?"

Kaito nods, "Yeah..."

"Then eat."

After Kaito eats, sipping his tea, Furuya asks what happened.

"...Kidnapped. I was put in a dog cage and left to die."

"But you escaped," Furuya hands are gripped into fists. Whoever did this to such a young boy will pay.

"I escaped but..." Kaito trembles.

"Kuroba Kaito, KID, I want to help you, but I can't unless you tell me," Furuya says.

"Furuya-san..." Kaito sighs as he expected that damn triple-face to get everything on him, including KID.

"A whole organization's hunting me right now," Kaito sadly smiles.

"...then I guess you better not escape, or even set foot outside this safehouse for now," Furuya sighs. 'An entire organization's hunting Kaito-kun...dammit.'

Kaito nods before suggesting, "I'll help you get the info on that organization. I'll even be live bait if you want."

"...Alright. But leave the rest to the PSB, OK?" Furuya nods as this is probably the only way he can guarantee that Kuroba Kaito will be safe. As for being live bait... hopefully it won't come to that.

Then, Kaito looks into the freezer and finds chocolate ice cream. Delighted, he happily gets himself a bowl and a spoon, and proceeds to eat the ice cream. Quite happily.

Shaking his head, Furuya smiles as hopefully, they'll both get through this alive.

Chapter Text

"A white bird has been put in a cage. I need you to retrieve it for me," Vermouth requests.

"A white bird?" Bourbon raises an eyebrow at the request.

"Yes. I'd rather this little bird be alive too."

'A rescue mission? How unusual...'

He's given the info on the organization in question, and a blueprint of their headquarters.

"Is this for the Organization?"

"No... Think of it as my...personal request," Vermouth waves her hand, "I'll owe you a favor."

Bourbon smiles, "OK."

After getting the data he needed and doing his own research, Bourbon infiltrates the building, looking for evidence of their crimes and the "little white bird" Vermouth was talking about. He was sure she was talking about KID. And this whole organization has been trying to kill KID for a long while now.

He's managed to sneak in without detection, so when he finally checks a certain room, he finds...

'KID?' Bourbon blinks as he's found a boy locked in a dog cage with no food or water, seemingly asleep.

He picks the lock on the cage, opening it. This wakes the boy, KID, up.

Looking at him with startled eyes, he climbs out of the cage slowly before hugging Bourbon, trembling and whimpering in relief. Just glad that someone came for him.

"...it's OK. I'll get you out of here..." Bourbon softly promises as he picks up KID and carries him away.

KID hides his face in Bourbon's chest as they move quickly and quietly outside and into a car.

Bourbon puts KID into the back seat, letting the boy rest before getting into the driver's seat and driving off.

Now that he's gotten a good look at KID... he recognizes him as the high schooler on the news that went missing, Kuroba Kaito.

Sighing, he contacts Vermouth, "I got the white bird out of its cage."

"...thank you. I'll leave his recovery to you."

'She hung up...' Bourbon, no Furuya sighs.

He puts Kuroba in a safehouse, cooking him a light meal, and providing a case of water bottles for him.

As he waits for Kuroba to wake up, Furuya makes a phone call.

"Kazami... I need you to look into Kuroba Kaito for me."

"You mean the boy that's been missing for a week?"

"I found him."

"Hah? You did?!" he's both surprised and excited.

"Yes... but it's only a matter of time before he'll be hunted again. I've sent you the materials."

"Hai. ..." Kazami's eyes widened, "This is-"

"Yeah," Furuya wryly smiles, "A whole organization's hunting him, so he'll need to lay low for a while."

"Hai. I understand."

"Thank you, Kazami."

The smell of food woke Kaito up, so he gets up, yawning.

"You're awake?"

Kaito startles but then remembers that Bourbon came and rescued him for some reason. At the time, he was sleep deprived, and too hungry and dehydrated to think straight. He was just so happy someone came to get him that he didn't care who it was.

"Hungry?"

Kaito's stomach answered for him.

After eating the meal Bourbon prepared plus two bottles of water and a slice of chocolate cake, Kaito sighs, satifised.

"...not that I don't appreciate it but...why did you rescue me?"

"Because it's my job, KID-kun, no Kuroba Kaito-kun," he smiles.

Kaito sighs, "So you know then? About them?"

"Yeah. You're going to have to lay low for a while until Public Security destroys them."

"...alright. Can I help? My hacking skills are no match for the cyber crime department, after all," Kaito smiles as he expected that as soon as he knew he was in this man's hands.

"Sure," Furuya smiles. Having KID's hacking skills would help.

"What should I call you?" Kaito muses, "Bourbon, Amuro, or Furuya?"

"Call me Furuya," he sighs.

"Furuya-san... can I have more chocolate?" Kaito asks, sparkles in his eyes.

"...fine. Fine. But only if you promise not to escape," Furuya shakes his head at the teen's ridiculous demand.

"Deal!" Kaito smiles, cheering for more dessert.

Furuya huffs, amused by Kaito's childlike nature when it comes to sweets as he gets one more slice of chocolate cake.

Chapter Text

Eventually, the Boss gets wind of the KID situation, and orders the brat to be brought to him.

Kaito's skittish and nervous about meeting the Boss for dinner.

When they finally meet...

Kaito expected their Boss to be a sad old man obsessed with immortality, not... a handsome aristocrat that looks like he's in his 20s.

"?" Kaito tilts his head at the man in front of him.

"I understand the confusion. My father, the old Boss, recently died, so I took over the organization," he explains as he takes a bite of an expensive steak.

"Eat. It's not poisoned or drugged," he says, noticing that Kaito refuses to eat or drink anything.

Unfortunately, hunger won out as Kaito furiously devours the food and water provided for him. Especially the chocolate cake.

"...what now?" Kaito asks in a soft voice.

"Now... you become my pretty pet," he grins as he picks up Kaito, who flails but it's no use.

He dropped onto a bed, and strapped down, chained to the bedframe.

"No no no no no!" Kaito struggles, trying to escape but he's pinned down. Then...a needle is inserted into his arm.

"No..." he whispers as the aphrodisiac takes its effect.

It takes another week for Kaito to give up and become the Boss's pet, completely bound to his bed.

Chapter Text

"It's been a long time, little bird~."

From within the cage, Kaito trembles in fear, "Spider..."

"Aw~ don't be like that. I'm just here to let you out," Spider smiles.

"I'd rather stay in here than go anywhere with you, thanks," Kaito growls. Similar to a cat with its fur standing on end.

"Not your decision to make, unfortunately," he smirks as he unlocks the cage anyway and drags Kaito out.

With a yelp, Kaito's husked over his shoulder, "Let me go!" He hits and kicks, struggling.

Spider just grins, carrying his prey back to his room.

Kaito's thrown onto the bed before being pinned by the man. His arms pinned above his head.

Spider's still grinning, licking his lips at his frightened prey. Right where he wants him.

"Now then... little bird," Spider leans in close, "Time to make you mine."

"No no!" Kaito struggles but it's no use.

A little bird is ultimately devoured by the spider.

Chapter Text

Kaito waits for an opportunity to escape the cage. He's patient, even if he's weak and starving. Luckily, it was so busy in headquarters recently that no one was watching him.

He kicks the wall of the cage. Kick, kick, and kick. Moving slightly every time until... creak! A part of the metal bended, coming loose. After a few more times of doing this, he manages to bend it just enough to get his hand out and unlock it, breaking out of the cage.

Sighing in relief, he stretches himself out for the first time in ages, much like a cat. Rolling his shoulders to get the kinks out.

"Time to get to work," Kaito smirks as he find an air vent, and opens it with a rusty nail he'd found on the floor. Closing the vent behind him as he goes in, and explores the vents.

Eventually, he comes across the security room.

When the guards go out to lunch, he opens the vent and softly lands onto the floor. He locks the guards outside while he gets to the computer.

Typing furiously, he hacks into it, and grins. Building schematics, the Boss, their past crimes, their employee's list, everything!

'I know just who to send all this to~!' Kaito smiles, KID-like as he sends a copy to a certain PSB agent.

"Uh... Furuya-san?"

"Yes, Kazami?"

Kazami shows him the email he'd just received.

'A young magician was kidnapped and imprisoned inside this very bad organization. Help him out, please.'

- (KID doodle)

Attached to that email was all the data on the organization in question.

Furuya glares, "Kazami...we're going."

"Hai."

In the meantime... He grabs some jelly from the mini fridge, eating it while he waits.

When the PSB arrive, the organization's caught by surprise, and everyone's arrested with no one getting away.

Amidst the chaos, Furuya finds a boy inside the security room.

The boy unlocks it, and smiles, "Hi!"

"For someone who was supposedly kidnapped and imprisoned, you sure are cheerful," Furuya comments.

The boy just giggles as Furuya sighs, "C'mon. Let's go."

The boy follows him outside.

Now under the PSB's protection until everything's sorted out, Kuroba Kaito is now in a safehouse with Furuya and Kazami.

"KID sent us an email, and applied for your rescue."

"Really?! KID-sama did that?!" Kaito acts surprised, "Wow!"

"The thing about that email... according to the IPS address, it was sent from inside the building," Furuya smiles.

"...is that so?" Kaito looks to the side sheepishly.

"Yeah. You know anything about that, KID?" Furuya asks, smiling darkly.

'Scary! Poker face!' Kaito laughs, "Furuya-san... should I call you Zero, Amuro, or Bourbon?"

Furuya glares, "You...are very lucky you're under PSB protection right now."

Kaito puts his poker face on, smiling, "Honestly...that stupid Snake thought it was a good idea to lock me in a dog cage and leave me to die in his headquarters. Can you blame me?"

"...I suppose not," Furuya sighs.

Then, Kazami hands Kaito a bowl of chocolate ice cream and a spoon.

"Ice cream!" Kaito's expression immediately changes to a regular high schooler's, happily digging into his ice cream.

To the adults, the contrast and contradictions were surreal.

"Kazami..."

"Hai?"

"Never underestimate revenge hungry teenagers," Furuya wisely says.

Looking at Kaito, no, at KID, Kazami sighs, nodding, "Hai..."

Imagining having KID as a enemy is scary enough as is.

Chapter Text

Kaito had escaped, but it barely lasted a day before history repeated itself that night.

Snake and his subordinates were on his tail. Kaito, only armed with the card gun he got back, was running for his life.

His senses in overdrive, he runs, takes cover, and hides as best he can. He's been shot at, but nothing vital has been hit...yet.

Surely... someone must've noticed the strange men in black and heard the gunfire in the back alleys.

Kaito loses them somehow. But it's still not safe yet...

Breathing heavily, he then notices that he's bleeding. His arms, legs, and sides were bleeding, grazed by bullets.

'At least I'm still alive,' Kaito muses, using a wall to support himself.

It was then that he heard a noise, and tensed, cardgun at the ready, still in fight or flight mode.

But once he sees it's a silver dove, one of his, he sighs, calming himself down and lowering his cardgun.
 
He slowly sits down, curling himself up as he leans against the wall.

"Coo!" The dove lands on his shoulder, nuzzling him.

Smiling, Kaito nuzzles the dove back, "Clover..."

That's when he remembers. He's Kuroba Kaito and Kaitou KID.

There's no way he'll just give up like this.

He smirks, coming up with an insane idea...but it might just work.

'Considering an entire organization wants me dead... I might as well make use of the mountain of secrets I'm practically sitting on!'

Attaching a memory card full of the organization's information that he'd hacked into and downloaded before he escaped onto Clover's leg with a ribbon, he whispers orders to his dove.

The dove nods, a look of determination on his face, "Coo!" before taking off into the sky.

As he watches Clover fly off into the night sky, illuminated by the moonlight, a white feather falling gently in the wind, he smiles.

The plan was to gather a few other doves, and send one to Tantei-san, Meitantei, Akai-san, and Furuya-san to get their attention and give them the memory card. Ideally, Clover was instructed to go straight to Furuya-san's car and give him the memory card.

As for the mountain of secrets... No one expects surveillance doves anymore, so it was quite easy to get the information he wanted.

Both himself and his doves have been to Kudo's and Hakubastard's. As for Furuya-san, that triple-faced PSB... he tracked his car all the way to the National Police Agency. It was so easy from there.

Honestly... he researched Furuya-san and Akai-san just so he could avoid them. They're probably the only adults he knows that can actually keep up with and catch him if they were interested enough, or got serious about it. They scare him immensely but...they can be trusted.

His eyes slowly closing, feeling himself about to pass out, he mutters to himself, "I was locked in a dog cage and left to die at that organization's headquarters. That idiot really should've just shot me and left," before succumbing to darkness.

Hopefully, someone finds him before they do... and that Clover finished his mission.

Chapter Text

After escaping, Kaito ran to the only place he could think of that Snake and his men wouldn’t dare to go. The National Police Agency.

He sneaks in somehow, and squats there, stealing snacks, especially enjoying Kazami’s chocolate, and drinks a rehydration solution before going into the nap room to sleep.

Of course, someone found him in the nap room.

“How did you sneak in here?” Kazami sweat-drops.

“...zzz…” the teen just sleeps innocently in the bed.

As quietly as possible, Kazami walks out of the nap room, closing the door before calling his Boss.

"Uh… Furuya-san, we have a situation."

"What is it, Kazami?"

Not knowing how to word this, Kazami sighs, "...you should really see for yourself."

"...alright?"

Furuya arrives and sees Kazami guarding the nap room.

Kazami opens the door for him.

Inside was a teenage boy, fast asleep on a bed. Some empty chocolate wrappers, protein bar wrappers, empty containers of jelly, and a bottle of rehydration solution on a table.

Furuya blinks in shock. A teenager snuck into the National Police Agency…

He approaches the boy, a hand stretched out, about to shake him awake… When the boy startled awake, pointing an unusual gun at his head, his eyes narrowed in fight or flight mode.

'Kaitou KID, huh…' Furuya blinks, not moving as the boy calms down and fully wakes up.

"Mm?" Blinking, the boy lowers the cardgun, his eyes going back to normal.

"Are you OK now?" Furuya asks.

The boy nods.

"What's your name?"

"Kaito. Kuroba Kaito."

They at least feed the boy a proper meal before taking him to Furuya's office to talk.

According to Kazami, there has been footage of men in black chasing and shooting at this boy from the CCTV cameras alone, so they assume this is about that.

"Why did you come here?" Furuya sighs.

"This is the only place they won't follow me to."

"They?"

"I'm being hunted by an organization, Furuya-san," Kaito puts his poker face on, "As for the main guy chasing me... I know him as Snake. You would know him as Jackal. He's trying to kill me."

"Why?"

"He found out I took on the mantle of Kaitou KID," Kaito admits, "...So Snake, that idiot , locked me in a dog cage and left me to die in his own headquarters."

Both Furuya and Kazami agree that Snake/Jackal is an idiot.

"So you escaped and ran here to hide out?" Furuya raises an eyebrow.

"Yup."

They sigh heavily. While they won't kick Kaito out to keep him safe, they still have to deal with that organization and the men after Kaito.

"I'll be live bait, so please arrest them," Kaito offers.

Thinking about it for a minute, Furuya sighs, "...fine. Just don't die."

Kaito smiles happily, "Hai!"

Needless to say, with Kaito as a lure, Snake and all those men were arrested, which led to the destruction of the organization.

Chapter Text

"KAITO! WAKE UP!" Aoko calls, but after a moment, there's no answer.

She comes over, and knocks on the door, "Kaito?" a bit worried.

Turning the doorknob, it's unlocked.

From the entry way, the house was completely trashed, holes and cards lodged in the walls. A bad feeling settles in her stomach.

"DAD!" Aoko runs back to her father.

"Aoko? What?" Nakamori-san blinks in confusion.

"It's Kaito... he's... his house is trashed. And... I can't find him anywhere! He's gone!" Aoko cries, fearing the worst.

"Gone?" Nakamori-san blinks as he goes to check it out himself. Then, he calls for backup.

Police are there in minutes...but Public Security may pokes their noses in.

Chapter Text

"Hakuba? What're ya doing here?" Hattori asks.

"Hakuba-nii-san?" Conan blinks, also wondering why he's here.

Sighing heavily, Hakuba asks, "I need your help with a case. It's time sensitive, so we don't have much time left."

"Time sensitive?" Conan inquires.

"My classmate's gone missing... more like, he's been kidnapped."

"OI! Kidnapped?!" Hattori yells in shock.

"...yes, but do keep it down," Hakuba facepalms.

"...ah. Fine. But who was it?" Hattori asks, 'Who is this classmate to you?'

Hakuba smirks a little as he replies, "Kuroba Kaito... who's also Kaitou KID."

"HAH?!" Conan and Hattori yell in disbelief.

They went to Kuroba's house, which was sealed off from the outside.

"Inspector Megure!"

"Oh, Conan-kun. And Hattori-kun? What're you two doing here?" Inspector Megure asks.

"Hakuba wanted our help."

"How's the investigation?" Hattori asks.

"Not very well. Kuroba-kun was definitely ambushed and taken...but we've no clue by who or where he went."

"So little...?"

"Public Security's taken over the case..." Inspector Nakamori whines.

"Inspector Nakamori?"

"Kaito-kun's my neighbor. He's a good boy, if mischievous. I've no idea why anyone would've taken him like this," he sighs.

'Neighbor...? Seriously?' Conan blinks.

"C'mon. He's waiting inside," Hakuba pressures.

'He?'

"OK," Conan nods.

When they went inside, Furuya was in the living room, typing on a laptop, dove sitting on his shoulder.

"Eh? Amuro-san?"

"Oh, Conan-kun... Thanks for coming," Furuya sighs, stopping his furious typing.

"Why's Public Security involved in this case?" Conan asks.

"Kaito-kun's my personal collaborator," Furuya explains, "While we agreed not to step into each other's territory, we do work together when our interests align, and never neglect to exchange information. As soon as I heard he was gone, I made sure his exact circumstances was kept quiet."

"I only got involved since I knew Kuroba-kun is KID, but don't have the evidence to prove it," Hakuba sighs, "But now... I just want him home."

According to CCTV footage, Kuroba was chased into the alleyways by men in black.

Furuya recognizes one of them, "That is Jackal. Kaito-kun knows him as Snake. An international criminal with a fondness for heart shots." The dove coos and nuzzles Furuya's cheek. Furuya sighs, "He only vaguely told me about the organization he's been fighting… That they use animal codenames, and are after a gem he's trying to find first, so he can destroy it."

"Uh...destroy it?" the detectives ask.

Furuya just smirks, "Kaito-kun wants to crush their hopes and dreams, and kick them into the depths of despair."

The detectives just shiver a bit in fear at the thought of such a revenge.

"Seems like he got ambushed in his own home, but escaped outside somehow," Hattori comments as they look around the house, "And not without a fight either."

"How are the cards going to be explained?" Conan asks as he sees several cards stuck in the wall.

"Since Kuroba-kun's a magician and KID's fan, it's plausible that he created a replica of KID's cardgun," Hakuba smiles.

"Oh..." Conan sweat-drops, 'Of course he's his own fan...'

Then another dove shows up and lands on Conan's head.

"Pffttt..." Hattori muffles his laughter.

"Shut up, Hattori," Conan growls.

"Coo!" yet another dove appears and lands on a picture frame, tilting it to the left, and triggering something.

Click!

Something fell from the ceiling.

"Ah..." Hakuba's covered in glitter.

Sighing, Hakuba lightly glares at the dove, who blinks innocently.

"Of course he would have booby-trapped his house. It's a magician's house," he mutters under his breath.

Now Hattori bursts out laughing.

Meanwhile...

Furuya checks upstairs, and inside Kaito's room.

The dove on his shoulder flies to the panel, and starts pecking at it.

"Hm?" Furuya blinks as he puts his hand on it, knocking a few times, then pushes at just the right angle, and hears something like gears.

The panel swings open.

Furuya looks at the dove and smiles, petting her, "This is what you wanted to show me?"

"Coo!" the dove flaps its wings before flying inside.

Smiling, Furuya goes after her, the panel swinging over and revealing Kuroba Toichi dressed as KID.

He slides down, and lands on a loveseat.

The lights turn on, and he's in KID's room.

With the detectives...

They do find a hidden room behind the cupboard, but it's empty, so they shut it.

"Amuro-san hasn't checked in in a while..." Conan mutters.

"Coo! Coo!" the two doves fly up and tug on their clothes.

"You want us to follow you?" Hakuba asks.

"Coo!" the doves fly upstairs, and they follow.

The doves lead them into Kaito's room, and they peck at the panel.

Conan knocks on it, and pushes it on an angle, and it swings open.

"Uh..." Conan blinks before going in, Hattori and Hakuba following behind.

"Wooooahhhh! Oof!" they land on the loveseat...and each other.

"Coo! Coo! Coo!" the doves call, flying around.

"Yo," Furuya waves at them as he looks over Kaito's notes.

They get up, and look around, awed, "Wow..."

KID's room was huge. With a jukebox, a car that was somehow in here, copies of KID's outfit, and a workshop.

Of course, they checked out the place, careful not to set off any traps.

Then, they go up the stairs after they're done.

Their search begins...

The three doves coo, landing on him.

Furuya pets one, "Don't worry. We'll find him. I promise."

"Coo..."

The doves flies off, searching from the air.

Honestly... once Furuya gets Kaito back...there'll be hell to pay to that organization.

Once he'd heard that Kuroba Kaito was missing, Furuya frowns in worry while in his car. Good thing he installed a hidden surveillance app on Kaito's phone.

"Hopefully, it's still working..." Furuya mutters as he knows Kaito would've dealt with it immediately after finding it.

Using his phone, he sighs in relief that the tracker's still operational.

'There, huh...' Furuya notes down the location and looks it up.

It was an old abandoned hotel. Figures.

Determination in his eyes, Furuya turns on his car and drives.

After arriving at his destination, Furuya parks his car out of sight, and changes into all black.

He infiltrates the building, and finds Kaito locked in a dog cage, seemingly asleep.

Blinking wearily, Kaito mutters, "Rei-san?"

"Yeah," Furuya smiles, "Let's get out of here."

He unlocks the cage, and gets Kaito out.

However, Kaito's legs are cramped from being in the same position for so long.

"Uh...sorry," Kaito hard smiles, "I can't walk."

Furuya just picks him up and carries him on his back, "Better?"

"...un," Kaito blushes as he rests his head on Furuya's shoulder.

They quickly and quietly escape unnoticed.

Once safely in the car, Furuya drives to a safehouse, speeding a little bit.

Then, Furuya carries Kaito like a princess inside, and plops him on the bed.

"Rei-san?" Kaito blinks up at him before he's suddenly kissed.

"Mm...hm...nn."

Furuya kisses him desperately and repeatedly. They only part when they hear... 

*growl*

"Ah...um..." Kaito blushes heavily, hiding his face in his hands.

Furuya chuckles, "It's alright. I'll get you food."

Kaito could only whine in reply.

He gets Kaito porridge and a rehydration solution...and some chocolate.

Of course, Kaito happily ate it all.

They cuddle in bed afterwards.

"Rei-san..."

"Yes, Kaito-kun?"

"You still have the location marked?" Kaito asks, a mischievous smile on his face.

Furuya rolls his eyes, "Yes. But we'll destroy them later. After you've recovered."

Kaito can't argue with that, and sighs, "I understand..."

Furuya kisses his forehead, "Goodnight, Kaito-kun. I love you."

"Goodnight...Rei-san. Love you too," Kaito closes his eyes and falls asleep.

Furuya absentmindedly pets him, plotting revenge against that stupid Snake, and that entire organization's destruction. But for now...he's just content that his lover's safe in his arms as he falls asleep.

*Creak creak creak~ Bang!*

Kaito had knocked the cage around enough to escape.

He checks his surroundings for signs of people before bolting. Running down the hallways as fast and as quietly as he could, trying to find an exit.

Only... he sees someone he didn't expect to see here, of all places!

'Bourbon?!' Kaito shivers in fear before hiding, erasing his presence in the darkness. His instincts told him that man was pitch-black, and they're usually right, so he listens to them.

Bourbon had gotten the news that Kaitou KID was captured and put in a cage by this particular branch of the Black Organization, so of course, he came to check it out.

As he had encountered KID before, even handcuffed him once, he knew that catching the thief wasn't easy. The fact that Jackal had done it was unexpected as usually the Dove humiliates the Hunter before flying away to safety.

'He must've really caught the Dove by surprise for this to happen,' he muses.

Then in the darkness, he pauses in his footsteps, sensing a faint presence.

He narrows his eyes before turning the corner and walking away.

As Kaito sees that predator leave, he secretly sighs in relief before sneaking away without a sound. 'Hopefully, Bourbon knows the way out of here,' Kaito muses as he carefully trails the man, senses still on high alert.

Arms then reached out from the darkness and grabbed him. He yelps as strong arms wrapped around his waist, pulling him flat against a broad chest.

Whimpering, Kaito doesn't even need to look up to know that Bourbon had caught him.

"Hi, KID-san," Bourbon grins, impressed by his stealth skills. KID's just less experienced than himself though.

"Let me go!" Kaito struggles but its no use. He's too weak from being in that cage for so long (he's dehydrated and starving), and Bourbon's just too strong.

Bourbon squeezes him tighter, making Kaito squeak and momentarily stop struggling.

"Listen to me, and I'll get you out of here."

"Why should I trust you?" Kaito glares, hissing at him.

"Because it's your best shot at getting out alive," Bourbon reminds him, "Besides, do you really want to be in a cage again? My place is better."

"...it would just be a larger cage," Kaito mutters.

"I guess so," Bourbon shrugs before whispering in the boy's ear, "But... you don’t have much of a choice, do you?"

Kaito grumbles but settles down in his arms, which he takes as a yes.

"What do you mean, the brat escaped?!" Jackal asks his subordinates.

"W-we're sorry, sir!"

"Looking for something?" Bourbon interrupts, carrying a struggling boy over his shoulders like a sack of rice. His wrists were tied up with cloth.

"...you...actually caught him," Jackal blinks in surprise.

Bourbon just raises an eyebrow before setting the boy down on the floor, "Weren't you the one who originally caught him?"

"W-Well, of course! It's easy to corner and catch the brat!" He boasts.

The boy just growls, "You got lucky, you bastard!"

"Shut up, brat!" Jackal yells back, attempting to hit the boy, who just glares defiantly at him. Only...for a brown arm to stop him.

"Enough!" Bourbon yells, letting go of Jackal's arm.

"I have a better idea than just locking him up and leaving him to die."

Bourbon then takes out a water bottle and twists the cap open, "Here. Water."

The boy just looks at the bottle than at Bourbon before freeing himself, snatching it up and downing it all in one breath. Sighing as the water ran out, he licks his lips.

"This boy is useful, so I'll be taking him. I could use an assistant," Bourbon smiles but it doesn't reach his eyes, "Understand?"

Jackal shudders and backs off, "F-Fine. Just take the brat and leave already!" as he and his subordinates walk off.

Bourbon smirks as he takes the boy's chin and makes him look at him, "I'll take good care of you, cute kitty cat," before kissing him.

Kaito's eyes widened, gasping in shock as a tongue took the opportunity to ravish his mouth.

"Mm...mn...nn...!" The small noises the boy made aroused him...at least until the brat decided to bite him.

Pulling away, Bourbon licks his bleeding lip, lowly growling with arousal and annoyance.

Kaito growls back at him, teary-eyed and face flushed. But Bourbon just knocks him out easily before carrying him away.

When he next woke up, he's in a bed, probably in a safe house, and smelling food. His growling stomach didn't help much.

"Oh. You're awake?" Bourbon smiles as he comes in with breakfast in bed.

He lets Kaito eat his fill, watching him eat deliciously.

Then, Kaito notices the cuff and chain on his ankle that's firmly attached to the bed.

"Wha-what is this?!"

Bourbon just smiles his coffee shop smile, "I'll be imprisoning you for some time until Kuroba Kaito's officially declared dead."

Kaito pales and trembles in fear, frantically trying to find anything to pick the lock with.

"In the meantime..." Bourbon's gaze turns into a feral beast's, "I'll make you submit and obey me. So, be a good boy, OK?"

He pins Kaito onto the bed, tying his arms up again, this time with a belt, before having his way with him.

A few months later...

Kaito, or KID is Bourbon's right-hand man, and only collaborator that's completely obedient to him, and him alone. His own personal assistant and lover. And he wouldn't have it any other way.

Chapter Text

After getting Vermouth's request, Bourbon got the data he needed plus did his own research. Then as Furuya, he called someone.

"Kazami..."

"Hai. Furuya-san, what is it?"

"I just sent you some data. I need you to get a team together."

"Hai...Uh!" Kazami gasps and gulps, "Furuya-san... is this accurate?"

"Yeah..." Furuya sighs, "It seems this organization has planted rats in the Metropolitan Police Force... and now have a hostage."

"Kuroba Kaito-kun, right?"

"Yeah. Hopefully, he's still alive..." Furuya mutters angrily, his eyes like that of a hunting dog. If that boy isn't then... there'll be hell to pay.

In where he's imprisoned, Kaito hears a commotion outside. Gunshots and yelling, he recognizes.

Eyes widening with hope, the door slams open, and he sees a familiar face.

"There you are..." Furuya smiles as he unlocks the dog cage and pulls Kaito out.

"Can you stand?"

Kaito tries, his legs trembling and cramped, but just couldn't. He falls but is quickly caught in Furuya's arms.

"...OK then," Furuya huffs as he supports Kaito's body...before easily picking him up.

"!" Kaito yelps as he's carried away by Furuya, the chaos around them in the background.

As they make their way outside, Furuya puts Kaito down for a moment, if only to punch Snake in the face before handcuffing him.

Kaito smiles and chuckles in approval... then he sees his card gun unattended, and on impulse, Kaito snatches it back.

Sensing murderous intent, on instinct, Kaito aims and fires. A card cuts through the gun like tofu, surprising both the gunman and Furuya. The gunman's instantly taken down by Kazami.

Looking into Kaito's blank eyes, Furuya sighs, 'He's on auto-pilot...'

He gently forces Kaito to close his eyes, who then passes out in his arms. He easily picks up Kaito and carries him over his shoulder like a sack of rice, gives some orders to Kazami, then goes to the ambulance.

When Kaito woke up, he's in a hospital, a IV in his body...and by his bedside is Furuya.

"?"

"Oh, you're awake," Furuya smiles, "You're in a police hospital, and currently being treated for dehydration, malnutrition, and exhaustion."

"How long...?" Kaito sits up.

"A whole day," Furuya informs him, "Officially, Kuroba Kaito has been found and rescued during an organization raid. You're now in Public Security custody, and will be questioned after being discharged."

Kaito sighs, "...fine. As long as you're the one asking."

Blinking, Furuya smiles, gently caressing Kaito's cheek with his hand, "That can be arranged."

He gets something out of his pocket.

"Hm?" Kaito tilts his head to the side cutely.

Winking and shushing him, Furuya gives Kaito some chocolate that he'd confiscated from Kazami's stash.

Kaito's eyes light up, and happily pops one into his mouth.

Seeing the boy eating so deliciously, 'So cute!' Furuya pats Kaito's head and pets him.
