The teen sighed, looking into the mirror one more time, eyes sadly tracing over the face that examined him in return. Then he carefully raised a hand, finger extending to lightly scratch at the hidden seam just above the base of his neck, slowly getting it to peel away. It continued, higher, very, very slowly and carefully getting the mask off. Even more than when he’d used the double mask, he’d wanted to make sure this one wouldn’t be pinched off or seen through, so it had been a great deal more secure than any of his others.

But while he’d wanted to keep it up a day or two longer, he didn’t feel like doing this anymore.

Once he got the wig and the mask off, the last thing he removed were the contacts. And then he looked in the mirror again, staring, before closing his eyes and turning to leave the room, heading downstairs to the front door. He was probably just going to the park.

…Actually, he wasn’t entirely sure where he might go.

He just knew the house felt too stifling right now.

“Shouldn’t you know? You were talking to Shinichi nii-san, but that’s not really him. That’s Kuroba-kun as Shinichi nii-san.”

Little goddamn shit, this one.

“Hmm? I suppose you would know Kudo-kun better, since he seems to be connected to Ran-san… But what reason could Kuroba have for disguising as him at the moment?”

                                                                 Now I see why Hattori hates this guy —
                                                                 he’s a jerk if you’re not a kid.

Out of faint paranoid, he reached up to
   make sure is hair was flattened while
   listening to Hakuba talk about his
   methods. “Look, I wasn’t trying to kill
   him. And I’m sorry is I’m not up to the
   Great Hakuba’s standards.”

“’Not trying to’ doesn’t mean much if someone ends up dead anyway. It has nothing to do with whatever standards I may have, any method of trying to catch or get revenge or such that has that as a possible end result shouldn’t be used… How would you feel if he hadn’t had that thing influencing him to bring him back?”

He’s just miffed because of taking the death lightly, and of a Kaitou at that. The strange world and magic might have kept it from being permanent, but that doesn’t mean it should be brushed off.

“I brough’ in some of my old buddies from school ta reenac’ a famouse Samuri figh’.” He grinned. “I’s all ‘bou’ bringin’ history ta them.”

“Reenact?” Hmm.. if it was something simple, he could have just about anyone assist him, so why would be need old… “You know sword fighting?”

“What’s your deal? You’re acting like
  you’re the one I hit the ball with.
   Besides, aren’t you usually all over
   catching KID?”

“Catching Kid, yes. But I can at least claim to have never actually had to resort to attacking him with anything. I’ve only attempted to beat him at his own game, thinking far enough ahead to keep him from succeeding.”

There is a nod as they walk, her eyes glancing at every store window as if searching. If they were in downtown Tokyo the amount of tourist shops would make this easier but she really hates to use a bus or a subway if only because she hates being closed in.

“Well hopefully you’ll stay for good. It’s nice having you around, Hakuba-san,” she says.

“Thank you, Ran-san. It’s pleasant being here. I don’t know about ‘for good’, but I do hope to be able to settle in one spot for longer. At least until I finish high school, or Kid is caught.”

He looked through the windows and at signs as well, but really, his hopes weren’t too high for coming across a shop that happened to sell black teas like what they might have in London. To his knowledge, it’s one thing to have a cup of those types in Japan, considering the amount of and variety of cafes available, but actually finding it to make oneself seemed like it’d be better suited to being ordered. He doesn’t mind just keeping her company, though.
